PUBLIC NOTICE
To the People of Bridgeport
and Vicinity

Now that the storm has subsidized
sufficiently we wish to thank you for
your hearty response to our invitation
to visit our store, the newest in the
Slater system, and we feel confident
that we merited your approval by
the tremendous amount of shoes sold.
our business Saturday and yesterday
assumed such proportions that we
were unable to give everyone the
proper amount of attention and ser.
vice and to those we wish to apolf-
gize and to assure them that our de-
layed shipments have now arrived and
we are in a. position to take care of
their wants in the customary Slater
style, which means q saving of from
s1oo to $500 on all our high grade
shoes. Come in now and reap the
benefit, the same as thousands of
Bridgeport's citizens did on Saturday
and Monday.

Today's Anniversaries

Today, when we are allied with
France in a common cause and re-
cognize in her the most heroic ma
ton in the history of the world, it
is curious to look back upon a day
when relations between that great
nation and the United States were
strained. And the fortunate part of
it al lis that one can look back and
rejoice that nothing much ever re-
suited from these strained relations"
It is true, however, that on May Is.
1877 Congress convened in extra SEES
sion to consider these strained rela-
tons" And here the other day Mar
shall Joffre, Frances special envoy to
the United States, its ally, was cheer
ed until everybody in the House and
the Senate, as we'll, was hoarse with
cheering. Here are some other
events that took place on May Is:
16s6-Rev. Robert Radcliffe, the
first EpiscopaFean clergyman in New
England, arrived in Boston from Eng
land.
176o-The British fleet under Ad-
n1iral Swanton arrived for the relief
of Quebec.
1773-Pronce Metternich, first
Prime Minister of Austria, born at
Coblance.
1s47-Daniel O'Connell, Irish pa
triot, died at Genoa, Italy.

Joffre, ranking soldier Of the allies,
on his visit to America has become
ranking hero of American, newest
conner among the allies.
The tides Of affection for the mar
shall Of France reached their flood
with the presentation to him of the
golden miniature of the statue Of Lib
erty Enlightening the World, trans
muted from the subscriptions of citi-
zens gathered and administered by the
New York World
Sixty thousand people had a part
in it's presentation, which was ar
ranged to allow the largest number to
see him with the least restrictions.
They thronged the north meadow of
Central park, New York city, the
largest single group that has paid tri-
butte in the United States to him who
stopped them at the Marne." The
picture of Marshal Joffre and the
statue was made Immediately after
the presentation.

Swiss Government

Pact With Berlin

Milan, May. THE Swiss govern
ment has informed Berlin. according
to the Curriere Della Sera, that the
Switzerland and Germany cannot be
carried out because of the resembling
of transportation contracts by all
American. steamship companies with
Switzerland, Holland and the Scandi-

news the putting into effect of a cean-
plete economic blockade Of Germany.
The Corriere Della Sera also says
tat the American government pro-
posed to neutrals that their supplies
would be assured if they agreed to
suspend all exports to Germany, even
as compensation or exchange.

ARE WOMEN NATURALLY DE-
SPONDENT?

While there are women who seem
alwas respondent and depressed and
expecting misfortune, that is not
womans misfortune. Such unfor-
Inmates suffer from ill-health. An
abnormal condition of the system ex-
presses itself in nervousness. sleen-

If all ailing women would make

is natural to woman.-Adv.

You corn-pestered men and women
