The fire was handled well by Jailer Bowen, so that the firemen were not needed, but were on hand in case their services wers warted. Prisoners somehow had placed papers in a ventilator and they had become ignited, causing much smoke, the location of which was uncertain for a time. When located, the papers were quickly hauied out and the trou- ble overcome. o At 210 o'clock an alarm from box No, 26 called the department to No. £2 Oak street, where old papers in ths back yard of the home of Thomas Fenton had been set afire and they had set fire to a fence. Someone became frightened at the size of the blaze and rang in an alarm, but the blaze was cut before the firemen could get there Married Fifty Years.

Tuesday, April 13 April weather, always wet and often cold, has a most unpleasant effect on some people’s skin. For such people we recommend PEROXIDE CREAM as an ideal skin pretector, healer and softener.

Candidly, it s the most popular tollet cream throughout the Unitea Btates today. SMITH The Drug Man, Franklin Square, Norwich, Ct. sprize ; ary Service.

JOHN DUXBURY GIVES FINE RECITAL. The Story -of Joseph and His Breth- ren the Subject at Osgood Memorial. At the Osgood Memorial on Monday evening, Prof. John Duxbury of Victo- | ria university, Manchester, England, gave a fine recital, This was Profes- sor Duxbury’s third reading In Nor- wich, many having attended the sec- ond, tn which he gave the book of Job with such artistic skill and power. There were many from that other au- dlence present again Monday evening to welcome him on his return to Am- erica and to anticipate another mas- terly interpretation. In this they were not disappointed. The principa] reading of the eve- ning was the story of Joseph and his brethren, which = Professor Duxbury has selected from the much longer poem by Charles Wells, giving the most importagt passages of the poem with now an two to form them into a connected story of the life of Joseph. This poem which was written in the last century, was not at first given the recognition due it, but has through the praise of Chesterton and Swinburne become now widely known. Taking four hours and a half for a complete reading, Profes- sor Duxbury Is obliged to omit all but the most striking passages lending themselves to his one hours reading. These are finely adapted to his pur- pose and the old drama of jealousy and hatred, with the picture of anclent peoples and manners, excellently por- tra Given in Professor Duxbury's in- tensely Individual and masterly way It 15 full of dramatic power. The second part of the programme Included Little Jack Horner as Pope, Longfellow, Carlyle, Tennyson, Shakespeare and Dickens would have written it, which demanded from Professor Duxbury, and two new stories, At the Sign of the Cleft Heart, by Theodosia Garrison and A Waterloo Hero, from Conan Doyle's Around the Red Lamp, both charmingly given. After the re- cital was over Professor Duxbury was eagerly entreated to give just one more and those who remained were reward. ed with Poe's Bells. The recital was given under the aus- pices of the Parish House associa- tion, of which Mrs. Alfred Vaughn is president. Rev. Dr, Howe introduced the speaker, NORWICH TO NEW LONDON. Hazlehurst Was Within One Minute of Sergeant Walsh's Time. In the discussion of walking times between Norwich and New London, aroused by the recent feat of Sergeant Walsh, the professional, in making the distance in two hours flat, a Norwich man rises to remark that Rallroad Detective Charles E. Hazlehurst did the distance in one minute more than the sergeant’s time and Fred Cash in 2 hours 14 minutes. Both of these times challenge and beat out the ama. teur record of two hours 15 minutes 57 secondg claimed for A. H. Chappell of New London in 1867. 3 This Norwich critic-of the Chappell record states that a man named Walsh made the distance in 1867 in two hours, walking in the summer time, but Ha- zlehurst and Cash did the hike in the winter, with Steve Coffey as ref- eree and timekeeper, about 8 or 9 years ago, Hazlehurst doing it in 2 hours 1 minute, and Cash taking 13 minutes jonger,” This evidently gives the ama- teur record to Walsh of 1867, not the sergeant, with Detective Haziehurst a close second and Cash third.

I “Doctor’s Daughter” Talk on the Stomach| The stomach and digestive organs are many times the cause of some disease, which might have been pre- vented, If these organs had performed their natural functions, and the great variety of symptoms which arise from a disordered condition of the stomach and liver, cause many people to think that they have some awful Qtsease. The consequence of which Is, that they do nothing for their stomach, but doctor for some other trouble. A poor acting stomach and lver will cause headache, backache, nervous troubles, distress after eat- ing, bloating, sour stomach, heart pressure, insommla, loss of flesh, constipation, and many other di agreeable feelings. If you are a sufferer of any trouble and your stomach or liver is out of arder, cor- rect these troubles first get the bene- fit of the food you eat, and your trou- bles will many times correct them- selves. Stomaeh-Rite, the combinea stomach and liver remedy, has an un- equaled record of many remarkablo cures to its credit, anq when you need a stomaca remedy, get'the best, a rem- edy that gives results, not ises— that's Stomach-Bite. Ome §0-cent will_quickly conwince you of the true worth of this mi ne. There is noth- ing just as good—insist on Stomach- Rite. Very truly yours, “Doetor’s Daughter’ Inidents in Society ) Mrs. J.

Judge Ralph Wheeler hel da brief session of the civil superior court in New London Monday morning. Court opened at 10 o'clock and adjourned about ten minutes later. The session was nothing but a meeting with the attorneys in the cases of Willlam Hoxie vs. New Haven road and Edgar G, Mondou vs. New Haven road.

The former case may be ready for the supreme court sesslon this mont] In the case of Howie, administra- trix, vs. New England Navigation Co. the demurrer was overruled.

' VERY SERIOUSLY ILL. Condition of Veteran Clubman and Aged Pioneer Shows Little Im- provement. ' Beyond a slight improvement physically, the condition of “Uncle” George Biomley. the aged Bohemian, who s seriously ill at his residence, 1824 Jackson street, says the San Francisco Chronicle, remains about the ame. Many anxious inquiries we: received at the Bohemian club and t Bromley home concerning the condi- tion of the ploneer clubman. Dr, J. Wilson Shiels, who is attend- ing Bromley, gave out the following statement April 4: “While Mr, Brom- ley's physical condition shows im- provement today, Wis age and mental ity are very much against him, You may say that there is no immediate danger at present. In fact, I think wi will have “Uncle’ George with us for some time to come, but his ultimate recovery, owing to his great age, Is hardly to be numbered among the pos- sibilities.” George Bromley was bors in Nor- wich in 1817 and has been in Call- fornia since 1851. He has led a varied career in different partg of California, but ig best known as a member of the old guard of the Bohemian club. His brother, Isaac H. Bromley, an editoria] writer on the New York Tribune, died about ten years ago. MUCH DOING IN Y. M. C. A. State Convention Opens at New Lon- don on Friday.
