sANDBAeeED AT WATERFORD.
Arthur M. Clark Robbed of Watch and
 $14 in Money.

Arthur M Clark lof Gl1ead road, Waterford, 37 years old, is at Memorial hospital New London, suffering from a slight concussion of the brain, received Saturday night when he was sand bagged and robbed a short distance from his home. He was relieved of his gold watch and $14.
 The holdup occurred about 10 o'clock
 A party of automobiles found Clark in the highway unconscious and medical aid was summoned. The in jured man was taken to Memorial hos pital, where he was revived. It was found that he was suffering from a concussion of the brain, which proved to be slight, and he will recover in a few days.
 MT. Clark is unable to state whether the holdup was conducted by one or two hig.hwaymen. The attack was sc sudden that he was rendered helpless in a few seconds and he W&s unable to recognize his aSSailant. i. The authorities are making a stren- uous effort to apprehend. the culprits This is the second holdup in Water ford in A hours, Justin Richards be- ing held up and robbed in Quaker Hil Friday night. The theory is that the highwayman is someone familiar witt the residents and sections in which thC 1 hoIdups are conducted and the au- thorities are working along this sup. position.

assistant, being one of 500 who left Boston for Washington. He enlisted from Groton, Mass, in the Second
 Massachusetts Heavy artillery late in 1863, serving for the last year and a half of the war. He was surgeons assistant and rarely was out of the hospital service.
 MT Gay recalls that there were ex- citing times about the period of en- listn1ent in his native town of GrOton, Mass, for It was called upon to fill out it's quota in the call for troops and MT. Gays enlistment was the turning point which enabled the town to suS- tain it's reputation for patriotism. At the usual rally to help the cause young Gay, then about 24 was put forward as @ speaker, as he had had some previous military experience. In the enthusiasm aroused by his remarks the crowd suggested that he lead the way by enlisting, which he did at once and was followed by some IA or IS more, which completed the number re- Quired from the town. The command was sent to the front at once.
 His second enlistment was on Jan. IS, 1864, when as a member of Com pany M of the Second Massachusetts Heavy artillery he left Readville for the front He was in the third bat i had rough experience on reaching the seat of war. When they left Read vile, Mass, the snow was deep on 1 the ground, but their destination at Norfolk landed them in Virginia mud about six inches deep, where they had to pitch their tents. But they man. aged to make out pretty well by making a floor of dried weeds, sleep l ing, MT. Gay says. as sound as though
 in a feather bed.
 | From Norfolk the battalion was sent l on to Newborn, where it's chief arctv-
 ity was in fighting guerillas, MT. Gay 1 later became i'll with lung fever and | after recovering was made ward mas l ter in the hospital at Newborn. | Another former Norwich man, War ren Lee GOss, now Of Rutherford, N l J., was in the first battalion of this | artillery of which 8 large portion was 1 taken prisoners at Plymouth. MT. Goss was among those taken and liveC l through some Of the prison experiences
 which he describes in his books. l MT Gay first came to Norwich 1T 1 1868. After leaving the railroad ser | vice he was an congressman for severa
 years, but some time since he retired due to impaired health resulting from
 fall on the ice. While at Washing

 It is desired to stamp out this ru- nor once and for all and the method to accomplish this will be the same as that adopted in similar case in Pe- nObscot Bay. If any responsible citi- zen will put in writing a request to that effect, a special inspection of the vessel open and clear for all to know the facts, will be made in the presence of that person or in the pres ence of any other person he may se- lect. The person making the com platnt will be expected to point out the weaknesses to which he refers and to show such basis for complaint as in his judgment existed. This inspec- ton of course will be without expense
 The department is ready to proceed without delay whenever any person will ask for the reinspection who vii arrange to be present in person or by representative while it takes place Furthermore if this does not strike any critic as fair he is at liberty, anC is indeed invited. to state what would | be so.

Of interest to many will be this communication from a seat of author ity concerning the steamer Block Isl- and, which has been a perennial sub ject of discussion.
 Miss Julia w. Redfeld, who is at Quonochontaug for several weeks, wrote her brother, William c. Red field, who is secretary of Commerce, in regard to the safety of the Block Island and this is an approved con- densation of the reply which he sent back with permission to have it pub lished:
 The Block Island is a wooden ship, and in the case of wooden vessels age does not always count as it does in iron or steel ships. For example we have wooden vessels in the Lighthouse service over 60 years old and in per fectly sound condition, as strong and safe as they were when built.
 As regards the Block Island, no yes sel is allowed to navigate without an annual inspection and several annual reinspections. This means that every vessel gets examined four times a year. There has been complaint before about the Block Island and the supervisinS inspector, Capt. O'DonneT, a trained seaman and master of vessels, person ally inspected her last year. He re-

DON'T BE BALD
Here's a Good Way to Stop Loss of Hair and Start New Hair Growth


 Hair and Start New Hair Growth
 Hair can never be made to grow again after the roots themselves are dead. But few of us, fortunately, grow bald in a day, and we have ample warning that our hair is steadily grow ing thinner.
 Parisian Sage is probably as effective a hair grower as could possibly be 1 found, but to prevent further loss of hair, and to actually start new hair 1 growth on the bald and thin spots, 1t must be rubbed right into the scalp with finger tips, or a medium stt brush, so that the hair roots can really | absorb it Try to get as much on the scalp, and as little on the hair, as pos sibie Your hair doesn't need it but your scalp does, and few weeks scalI massage with Parisian Sage Gust a few
 minutes daily) will usually check any further loss of hair ana make the hail
 grow as thickly and luxuriantly as
 ever.
 Unlike many hair tonics, ParisiaI Sage contains no sulphur or poisonous i wood alcohol, and will not make the
 hair greasy or stain the hair or scalp It can be obtained from Lee & Os goods and druggists everywhere, aTlt is not at all expensive.
