PLAINFIELD.
Philip Evans Escapes From Meriden Rsformatory-RepubIiean Rally This Eyenins--sudden Death of John Mercer.


 Word has been received here of the escape of Philip Evans from the State Reformatory at Meriden Tuesday. Evans. alias Leclaire. with his brother, William, was sentenced to the reform atory by Justice Benjamin R. Briggs.
 The two brothers. who are 1 and 19 years of age formerly lived in Plain f1eld with their parents and on two occasions they broke into the caboose Of a freight train left, standing on the siding here. The first break was unsuccessful as brakeman saw the youths; but they escaped from their pursuers. Some days later they made their second attempt, this time being successful. They entered the ca boose and stole clothes and other ar ticles belonging to the crew of the train. They made off with goods amounting in value to a considerable sum
 No trace of the thieves could be found until over week later they were seen riding on the freight train from which they stole. They jump ed off in Plainfield and after hard chase one of the brothers was caught by members of the crew but the other over to Officer Allen who locked him up at Central Village. On his return from Central Village, Officer Allen met the other Evans boy and placed him under arrest Both had in their pos session the clothes and articles which they stole. They were tried before Justice Briggs who sent them to the State Reformatory.
 It is thought that Philip Evans might come here and a careful watch is being kept by local authorities.

This is the first ap- pearance of this dainty little Viennese star on the Metro program. Charming Pollock and Rennold Wolf, the well known authors and playwrights. have provided the vehicle for her, and George D. Baker. one of the ablest of American directors, has charge of the productions.

Silas brings him home and in the morning when Maria Pettingill demands to know where he has been all night, and who the stran- ger is, Silas introduces him aSsCount Britt.

WHY WOMEN
 WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
 cine Go.

Women who are we'll often ask "Are the letters which the Lydia B. Pinkham Medicine Go. are continually publishing, genuine?" "Are they truthful !" "Why do women write such letters [ :"
 In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it.
 The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia p. Pink ham Medicine Go. is that Lydia B. Pink hams Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering.
 It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis placements, inflammation, alteration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness. stomach troubles and from the blues.
