FAST STEAMER
YACHT ANCHORS
AT LOCAL DOCK
Sea Bird, Once Owned By
T.. G. Burnham, Is Cause
of Speculation.

The presence of the fast steam yacht
Sea Bird once owned by E. G. Burn
ham, and which after an absence of
in Bridgeport harbor in a weather
beaten condition, has created much
interest in shipping circles here.
According to Harbor Master Will
liam Fl. Lamond the Sea Bird made
port Sunday afternoon. Two owners
whose names to-day cannot be ascer-
taineds were on board. The big yacht
"a feet in length, feet in width and
drawing more than seven feet of wa
ter was assigned anchorage near the
Steeplechase dock.
She is said to have on board men
employed at the works of the Rem
tngton Arms & Ammunition Co. AT
she is connected with the company's
service.
On board it is said that her owners
are men Who, during the sr inner
months carry on a freight service out
of Newark, N. J., butt in winter time
their vessel. None of the regular
crew were aboard to-day and those
working about the boat did not know
the owners or captains name.
The. vessel built in 1892 in Boston,
is g gross tonnage and can carry 33
tons of cargo in her, holds. She is
capable of showing her stern to any
boat in the harbor except the torpedo
boat AI1Wyn which can make 80
knots against IS by the Sea Bird.
The late r. G. Burnaam sold the
yacht to a New Yorker named Wer-
theim about nine years ago. She was
registered. at Bridgeport until last year
when registry was changed in the
custom house at Newark. N. ].

THIN PEOPLE CAN
INCREASE WEIGHT

Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10
or Is pounds of healthy 'stay there
fat should try eating a little Sargol
with their meals for a while and note
results. Here is a good test worth
trying First weigh yourself and
measure yourself Then take SargoI
one tablet with every mea1-for two
weeks. Then weigh. and measure
again. 1t isn't a question OF how you
look or feel or what your friends say
and think The scales and the tape
measure viii tell their own story, and
many thin men and women we believe
can easily add from five to eight
pounds In the first fourteen days by
following this simple direction And
sargoI does not of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food, it aims to
turn the fats, sugars and starches OF
what you have eaten, into rich, ripe
fat producing nourishment for the
tissues and b1oodEprepare it in All
easily assimi1ated form which the
blood can readily accept. Much of
this noi1rfshment now passes from
v.,sD body as waste. But sargoI works
to stop the waste and do 1T quickly
and to make the fat producing con-
tents OF the very same meals you are
eating now develop pounds and
pounds OF healthy, flesh between your
eIxfT7 and bones. Sargol is safe. pleas
ant s1ficfent and inexpensive. All
leading druggists in this vicinity sell
At III large boxes-forty tablets to
nackage-pn q guarantee Of weight in
crease Or money hack as found in each
large Boldly.

CALLS AUSTRIAN
NOTE POL ITICAL'

Berlin. Dec 15xCount Ernst Won
Reventlov. in an article in the Tages
zeitung, says the note sent by the
United States to- Austria-Ancona case
Is characterized by a tone of curt
command and limited threats and CON
tains opinions, judgments and de-
.ra1ands of specific and most harsh
character.
He regards the treatment in the
note OF the circumstances of the case
as quite superficial and even contra
dictory.
The note, in addition. he says, sig-
nores the Official Austrian description
Of the circumstances.
The frf1e explanation of this is
therefore, that the note Is political
rather than an attempt to treat the
