 Suffrage Df. Vaieria Parker on RefOrmatOry for Women

A reformatory for women has been long urged by those interested in char ities and corrections. The legislature, at this session, Is to consider bill for such an institution. Judge Edgar NJ. Warner is recognized authority on such matters and he ,is the chairman of the committee of ,the Chamber of Commerce on this matter, the other members being Walter J. Bartlett and Alexander Gilman.
 This committee has secured pr. Va. leria Parker to speak in Putnam Fri. day evening, Feb. 2S, at 8 o'clock in Odd Fellows hall. The meeting will be open to all who are interested and women will be particularly welcome. At the same meeting Mrs. T. M Hep burn, president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association, will speak, taking for her subject, The Crisis. Invitations have been sent to local organiz ,lions.
 Mrs. Hepburn, whose picture with her children is shown here, has been one of the most active ard successful of the workers for equal suffrage. Put nam women who have been associated with her asked the chamber of com merce some time ago to allow time at some meeting of the chamber for her to speak. This the directors voted to do and later voted that the meeting on the woman's reformatory would be an appropriate occasion.

City Court. Jn'ge

In all of the six cases disposed Of by the court Monday morning the trouble WAS due to the consumption of too great quantity of the essence ,of rye. None of the offenders were sent to jail.
 Joseph Beaudry was picked up on the sidewalk in front of fire headquar- ters. His legs refused to carry his load further and he laid down.
 Captain Ryan said the man had had considerable hard luck He has teen sick for number of weeks himself; his wife has been in the hospital and his children have been committed to the temporary home.
 Beaudry has lived in this vicinity for b years and had never been ar rested before. He was allowed to go on payment Of $2.
 Lawrence Keenan tried to get room in several of Putnam lodging houses Saturday night but found business so good that not bed was to be had. He took a few more drinks and the officer took him.
 Keenan had three teeth out during the afternoon, "and one of them was ulcerated, tool he said. He thought that was good excuse for his celeora- tion. He paid $l and departed.
 John Reardon keyed up to high C fell on the icy sidewalk and landed on his right eye The eye was closed and the sio of,his face puffed out. The mill \. here he had been working noti- fled t..c court thst they would like Johns services an. he was allowed to go back on his prom <e to pay two dol lars within two weeks.
 John Maloney ssid he nd rather go to work in Mechanl.'sviii for $l6 a week than to cut ,ee at Brooklyn jail. He promised to pay the court sl0.ea in two weeks and started for lhe neigh boring village.
 John McGuire was arrested in com plaint of his wife Bridget Mcclure be- cause he got drunk at least once a week and sometimes twice a week and she could not stand his jaw at such times. They have six children and when John is sober his wife said he is model husband.
 Mrs. Mcclure told the court that she had her. husband placed on the black list Monoay. Her husband found 1t out when he tried to get a drink Saturday afternoon. He came home and told her if she didn't have his name taken of the list she could get out. He was abusive and fright ened her and the children and she called the officer.
 "Has he been getting worse in his drinking habits?" asked the court.
 "Weli, either my patience is gone and can not stand his jawing as we'll as used to or be is getting worst, l can't tell which" replied Mrs Nc Guire.
 After giving the man some excellent advice he was sentenced to 80 days tn jail and costs of S9.09 and execution of the sentence, except for the payment of $I costs, was suspended for 80 days.

" ELDON had found the one girl- - Nellie Hastings. Nellie had
 great, lustrous eyes. When Eel
 don recited his own poetry she would gaze intently into his face with rapt expression, as If thinking of a new hat she would like to buy. And probably she was.
 When he finished reciting she would be silent moment and then murmur :: How exquisite !" She didn't say what was exquisite, but Feldon thought he knew. But would wager little on the hat.
 Feldon's family and looked on his romance with extreme disfavor. But he would brook no criticism from his relatives. That was why he happened to be lodging with me in the studio, temporarily. Being only friend l knew Feldon much better than his family did and was wise enough not to show my disfavor for his suit.
 I knew Nellie, too, and felt sure her union with Feldon would not be best for all concerned. Feldon was really a fine chap. He was original. He did not even initiate other men In their vices, as most otherwise original men do. He had fine scorn for philander- ing and excesses. He did not love to eat and drink or Indulge in any other common appetite. His appetites were spiritual. I felt sure the girl for him would have to be modern Pallas.
 IF. tx Nellie was.
 "She has a wonderful soul r' he would cry. Ut looks out of her eyes. Every glance is lyric, every steadfast gaze perfect poem :"
 When man who tells you his love is too deep for words gushes forth like that about thirty times a day 1t usual ly ends in life sentence. There's no saving him.
 Still we tried hard the family and |. The family pleaded, stormed and threatened. I tried sundry strategic moves. But all proved futile. Feldon and Nellie decided to marry in May. They wouldn't be married In June be- cause so many people get married then. It was early in February when they definitely decided on the date, and then the family and lost hope.
 But a few days later he came in looking so agitated I felt hopeful of calamitous news. His hair was dl- sheveled, his collar awry, his tie hump backed. He paid no attention to me, but began at once to pace the floor feverishly. muttering unintelligibly as he walked and stopping frequently to claw his hair frenziedly. I waited pa- tiently for the foodgates to burst, but nothing happened. Occasionally he would stare at me, but did not seem to see me. Finally he sat and began to write. I could not restrain an ex- clamation of profound disgust.
 "So it's a mere poem you're working onT I sneered. "I thought something had happened"
 He looked up dazedly . moment. Then he seemed to recall where he was and that I was human being. Then his excitement flooded back.
 "A mere poem?' he cried. 'sfhis poem should be 'an echo and a light unto eternity It should syrnbollze the most perfect love which ever existed

 For week. Feldon labored inces- sanity over that poem. He would hop out of bed in the middle of the night to change a word or put in comma. He revised 1t dozen times every day. It was a truly beautiful thing when he sent 1t away by messenger the morning of St. Valentines day. The same messenger brought back Nellie's valentine.
 What sounded like the gasps of a dying man called me to Feldon's side five minutes later. He had fallen back pale and limp, on couch. l propped up his head and ran for stimulant, but he waved me away.

How To Get Rid
Of Indigestion

MiMost people who suffer from indi-
gestion, gastritis, dyspepsia, etc.-ev-
zen those who have been afflicted for
years and who have tried doctors, hos
pitfalls and patent medicines galore
without permanent benefit-can get in
stant relief and insure painless nor
nal digestion by taking teaspoonful
of ordinary Bi-nesia in a little hot wa
ter Immediately after eating" The au-
thority for the above statement who
has spent years in European countries
investigating the results from the use
of the product known among druggists
here as Bi-nesia, claims that the re-
markable and instant relief which al
most invariably follows it's use is due
to the fact that it neutralizes stom-
ach acid and stops food fermentation.
thus giving nature chance to proceed
with its work without hindrance. He
also related many instances of its sue
cessful use not only by doctors and
hospitals, but also of its widespread
use by French, English and Italian
soldiers at the front; and expressed
the belief that every American soldier
should carry a bottle of Bi-ncsia in
either powder or tablet form as
guarantee against those stomach com
plants which so frequently follow
nasty eating or the use Of imperfectly
cooked food. Care should be taken to
insist on getting the genuine Bi-nesia.
