town by an evening dress comprising
green velvet trousers, a canary colored
waistcoat and coat with lace cuffs
Dickens, likewise, was fond OF GER
tain bright green waistcoat, which he
wore in accompaniment with a vivid
scarlet tie, and he turned up at Frith's
studio one day in a sky blue overcoat
with red cuffs. Even more fearful and
wonderful was Dumas appearance at
an ambassadors reception In "a shirt
on which were depicted number OF

TREAT CATARRH BY
 NATURES METHOD

Every Breath of Hyomel Carries Heal
 ing Medicated Air to the Infected
 Membrane.
 Nearly every one who has catarrh knows how foolish 1t Is to try and cure # with sprays. lotions, and the like. Temrorary relief may be given but a cure seldom comes.
 Until recently your physician would probab1y have said the only way to help catarrh would be to have a change of climate; but now with a simple preparation called Hyomei you can carry a health-giving climate in your vest pocket and by breathing 1t few minutes four times a day success fully treat yourself.
 The complete Hyomei outfit is inex- pensiye and consists of an inhaler that can bo carried in the vest pocket. a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyo- mel. The inhaler lasts a lifetime. and If one bottle does not give permanent relief, an extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained at any time for a trifing sum. 1t is more economical than all remedies advertised for the cure of ca tarrh. and Is the only treatment known to us that follows nature in ner method of treating diseases of the respiratory organs.
 Lee & osgood have sold a great many Hyomei outfits and the more they sell the more convinced they are that they are perfectly safe dn guaranteeing to refund the money if Hyomei does not relieve.

Meeting in Petroerad to Create Bet ter Relations With America Prevea a Success.

Petrograd, Nov. 4.-The first public meeting of the new society for pro- noting mutual friendly relations be- tween Russia and America, was in every way a success.

Roditchef, Nicholas Tougan-Baran- ovsky and others were wGrmly ap- plauded. The general trend of the address was to the effect that Amer ica was able to exest great influence upon the war because of her economic power and that Russia could profit from a study of American ideas and policies. A notable feature of the meeting was the declaration by M. Roditcheh that he was firmly con- vinced that the war would be won by the side that deserves to win be- cause of the moral principles for which it stood.

JEWELRY STOLEN IN
 MYSTIC RECOVERED
Found in New London After Two Boys in New Haven Confessed to Burg lary.

in New Haven Confessed to Burg-
 lary.
 D. E. Kinney, a Mystic jeweler, at New Haven Wednesday identified the jewelry held at police headquarters which was found on John Higgins and Elmer Curtis. the two Providence young men sentenced respectively to the reformatory and county jail in the city court at New Haven Thursday as part of the loot taken from his store last Saturday night when it was burg larized.
 Deputy Sheriff Brown accompanied Kinney and later went to the jail to interview Curtis. Curtis was given SO days for carrying concealed weapons. He will be taken back to Mystic after his jail sentence expires.
 From the confessions of the two boys Mir. Kinney and James E. F. Brown found that two suit cases of plunder that had been checked and left in New London. This they recov- cred on their return trip from New Haven and after checking up it was found that only a gold bracelet and a watch fob chain were still unaccount- ed for. These, it is believed, the youths disposed of in New London.
 Higgins formely lived fin West Mystic and was familiar with the SlOTS O1 III0 ANSIlC Ine con- cern, since the Gilbert block fire has been located in the Buckley block and it was supposed entrance of rob- bers through rear windows had been prevented by placing of iron bars there. Curtis ,one of the lads, is about IT years old and very slim and he managed with the aid of Higgins to wiggle through between the bars Once inside he packed two suitcases full of plunder while Higgins kept watch outside. The entrance was effected at about midnight on Sat- urday night.
 The boys didn't have much suc- cess disposing of their loot in New London and the suit cases containing six boxes of silverware and some of the stolen jewelry were left there while the boys went on to New Ha- ven with the rest. There they got in wrong with the police and disclosures resulted. Each was armed with a 3S-caIibre revolver and on charge of carving these weapons and that of vagrancy Higgins was sent up for 50 days and Curtis sent to the state re- formatory at Cheshire, where he must remain a year or more. On ex- piration of their terms Prosecuting Attorney, Warren B. Burrows of the Groton town court will have warrants awaiting them for the burglary charge.
