Fire No. 2 came along ¢n Thursday ht to help out the firemen’s super- tion that when there is oxe there will be three. This time it was in the wagon sheds of the N. S. Gilbert & Sons’ company on the 1ot where their ucto% is at the cormer of Chestnut and Willow sStreets. From the habit well known to the police which local and other weary way! have of picking out the wagons under the shed as a place to sleep in, it is supposed that an explanation might be found of its cause, as a dropped match or clgarette could have easily started the blaze. It had gained good headway and was blazing up_brightly when discovered by J. W. Barker as he was coming down past the corner of Broadway and Willow street. He promptly ran to Box 33, from which he turned in the alarm &t about 10.30. The box is on Uniog square at the Broadway Congre- gatiodal church corner. 5 Mr. Barker staved at the box to di- rect the apparatus when it arrived, but the light of the fire made it easy to locate at once. The auto-chemical laid in a line of hose in short order from the hydrant at the corner of Willow and Chestnut and Chemical Co. No. 1 had two lines from the hydrant at tbe carner of Broadway and Willow. ‘When the firemen arrived the wagon sheds were a sheet of flame and the blaze had also extended into the ad- joining shed under which loose lumber red Thursday Night at 10. Started by Some Weary Wayfarer Who Made His " Couch There—Quick Work by Fire Department— .lot and close to the rence. ot e W le‘m& adjoining The three -8treains made short work of the blaze. ‘hief Stanton arrived soon after the first stream was on and directed the work, The recall was sounded In about 20 minules. ‘'he roofs of the sheds were covered with so-calied fireproof paper which alded in holding the fire down and from spreading as fast as it otherwise would have dome. Three wagons be- longing to the N. 8. Gilbert & Sons company were under the shed and were badly burned. One was a double team wagon which the company has had for abcut 30 years, but was still in good shape; the other was a single team wagon, and the third was a buggy which was used for many years by the late N. S. Gilbert. The first two were dragged out on fire and the blaze extinguished, but the buggy was a total loss. Wagons from _the adjacent livery stable of O. H. Reynolds were pulled out into the street as a precaution, but the fire did not reach the livery stable. The flames shot up high enough to set fire-to a tree on the bank back of the sheds, but a stream of water quickly put this out. For the last two nights Policenian Morgan has found men sleeping in the wagons under the shed, but last night he had not got around as far as that before the fire, as he was off on an- other duty on another part of his beat. creeping aiong n;n tence and WW h J.

The New London County Historical ®ociety has received a valued gift from Miss Helen Fitch. It is a book, en- titled The Panorama of St. Helena. It shows views of the island and of Na- Poleon’s house there. The views were coilected by Mrs. J. C. C. Knoblauck, nee Miss Mary Brown, daughter of Capt. W. R. Brown of New London. Miss Fitch is particularly interested in St. Helena. Whaling ships travel- ing that way in the olden days always stopped at St. Helena for water and it happened that two of Miss Fitch's uncles were there with their ships at the time that Napoleom's body was taken away. In this comnection it is of interest that the big willow .tree on Willlams Memorial park at New London grew from a scion brought from g tree on Napoleon’s tomnb and planted in the park by Miss Fitch’s aunt. Ice from the nearby pond was being stored in the new icehcuse for Charles L. Hubbard while the contractors were building it at Uncasville. The struc- ture, which is 26x22 feet, is well filled. CURES RHEUMATISM Quickly Eases Stiff, Sore, Swollen Joints and Muscles —Drives Rheumatic Pains Away It is needless to suffer any longer with rheumatism, and be all crippled up, and bent out of shape with its heart-wrenching pains, when you can easily avoid it. Rheumatism comes from weak, in- active kidneys, that fail to filter from the blood, the poisonous waste mat- ter and uric acid; and it is useless to rub on liniments or take ordinary remedies to relieve the pain. This oniy prolongs the misery and can't possibly cure you. The only way to cure rheumatism is to remove the cause. The new dis- covery, Croxone, does this because it neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous substances and uric acid that lodge in the joints and muscles, to scratch and irritate and cause rheumatism, and cleans out strengthens the: stopped-up, inactive kidneys, so they can filter the Doison from the blood, and drive it on and out of the system. Croxone is the most wonderful medicine ever made for cu: chron- ic rheumatism, kidney troubles, and bladder disorders. You will find it different - from all other remedies. There is nothing else on earth like it. It matters not how old yeu are, or how long you have suffered, it is practically impossible to take it into the human system witheut resulis. You will find relief from the first few doses, ‘and you will be surprised how quickiy “all Your misery and suffering will ends g An original ' package of Croxone costs but & trifie at_any first class drug store sich as that of Lee & Os- od Co.

Reduction Which Caused Trouble Will Not Be Operative for Two Weeks. Through a meetings at Hopkins & Allen’s on Thursday afternoon, accord- ing to an agreement made the day be- fore, to arbitrate the matter over which there had: been a strike in the stock room on Wednesday morning, a thorough and satisfactory understand- ing between the company and the em- ployes was arrived at. When the mat- ter came to be discussed in conference between the company officials and a committee of three from the 80 em- ploves who struck, it was seen that the trouble arose largely through a misunderstanding, it is stated. General Manager George S. Watts and Supt. Frank Jewett represented the com- pany in the conference. The small reduction in the wages of five men, which was the initial cause of the sympathetic strike, will be maintained, but will not be put into force for two weeks, by which time arrangements will have been complet- ed- by. the company by which there will be an increase in production in this department. IS EARLIEST EASTER SINCE YEAR 1865 Consolation for Men, but Little for Women. Florists, milliners and women who enjoy Easter finery and display are not pleased because Easter day this year falls on Sunday, March 23, which is the earliest Haster since 1866. Lil- lies, azaleas, hyacinths, tulips and other flowers are being forced in hot- houses so that they can appear in time for Easter, which; it is feared, will' be a chilly day. Lent began February 5. One would have to go forward 101 years before he reaches an earlier daie on which ‘Ash Wednesday will again fall. If he chooses to go back, February 3, in the year 387 A. D. he will find the very earliest Ash Wednesday known.- The point is that Lent this vear comes within two days of the world’s record for an early appearance and nothing that even matched it has occurred for 57 years. MEETING FOR LENTEN WORK FOR THE POOR Woman’s Club Sewed on Thursday. Thirty were called together at the meeting of the Catholic Woman’s club held in the Buckingham Memorial at 2.30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The Catholic Members iladies sewed during the session and refreshments were served. These weekly sessions are being held through Lent and the sewing will be distrib- uted among the poor people of the city. These ladies were in charge of the arrangements for the afternoon: Mrs. John Slattery, Mrs. D. J. Shahan, Mgs. D. T. Shea, Mrs. Frank Sylvia, Mrs. John Steiner, Mrs. Charles Smith, Mrs. James Shannon, and Mrs. P. Spellman. AT THE DAVIS Vaudeville and Photoplays.

While the use of electrical machin- ery in London factories has more than doubled in the last 10 years, the num- ber of accidents has not increased. There are about 300 electric stations in the United.States equipped with ice making plants to profitably utilize the surplus power in the summer nths. Wireless telephony between Rome and Palermo, Sieily, a distance of 250 miles, has been very successful and the Italian government will take over the system. An electric automobile stage service across the Alps is being planned. The! ltne will run from Airolo, by way of the Nufnen Pass, to Ulrichen, a total length of 26 miles. The electric autos wil lecarry twenty-two passengers and make the trip in about two hours. The city of Montreal will be. supplied ! with 160,000 horse power from a hy- dro-electric development at. Carillion Falls, .Quebec. The company is capi- talized at ten millions of dollars and will supply current to a number of other cities and towns near Montreal. An Indnana city has recently utiliz- ed a special street lighting system that has been installed for ornamental il- lumination to assist the police in case of an alarm after the lights have teen turned off at night.
