By & bill which. has been presented before the: legislature and will be dis- cussed ' before the .same committee hearing at which two bills on consol- idation are to be discussed, it is prop- posed to divide the city into five wards, for which the names West, Greeneville, Boswell, ¥alls and Central ward are suggested. The ward idea was once before brought to the front in Norwich and with such success that an amendment was made to the city charter, approved June 28, 1876, dividing the city into five wards, but it hag a short life. It was repealed in 1877, March 14. The bill repealing the division into wards was presented to the govermor for his sig- nature, but not receiving his signature in the specified ‘time, became a law without his approval. In the amendment and division into wards in 1878, there was alSo pravision that the election of an alderman and two .councilmen should be made for each -ward. In the present bili there is no ward représentation in the city council attached to it. Text of the Bill. The following is the fext of the pres- ent amendment proposing to make five wards: The. city of. Norwich is hereby di- vided into fivezwards, as follows: So much of said city as lies westerly of the westeriyv margin of the Thames river and Yantic cove and southerly and westerly of Yantic river shall be RECORDING SECRETARY FOR THE DAUGHTERS Mrs. \W.

You Should Enjoy Your Meals One' of the Most Important Questions to Consider in the Search for Happiness and Health. Jf your stomach can not digest your food, what will? Where's the relief? The answer is in Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, because, as all stomach trou- bles arise from indigestion and because one ingredient of Stuart's- Dyspepsia Tablets is able to thoroughly and com- plétely ‘digest 3,000 grains of -food, doesn’t it stand to reason that these tablets are going to -digest all the food and whatever food you put into vour ‘stomach ? . 4/ You Can Eat With, the Appetite of a Lusty Youngster, if You Help Your Stomach. Science nowadays can digest food without having it enter the stomach at all. And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets are the result. of this scientific discovery. They digest and digest thoroughly and well, anything and everything you eat. - The burning guestion to you is, “Ave . vou getting out of life all the pleasure and the health you are entitled to?” If not, why not? No matter whether every organ and member of your body is in a sound state of health and strength, if your stomach is in any way disordered, you are not going to be “yourself.” You are going to be a worried, out-of- sorts, nervous or sullen individu3l, whose actions will reflect your condi- tion inside, and people will naturally avoid you. 8o, #f yotir stomach réfuses to work or can't work, and you suffer from . eructations, bloat, brash, fermentation, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburg, irritation, indigestion,.ar dyspepsia of whatever form, just take one or two of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and see ihe differénce.” It "doesn’t cost you much tg prove it. Then you can eat all” you~want, what you want, when- ever you.want, if you use these tab- lets. and vou ean look the whole world _in the face with a beaming eve and you will. have a cheerful apirit. a tleasant face, a vigorous body and s ciear mind and memory and every- thing will leck and taste delicious te vou. That's life. Get a 50 cent box of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets’ at any drug store and remain one (1) ward by the name of the West Ward. = So much of said city as lies within the territorial limits of the pLresent Greeneville school district shall be and remain one (1) ward, by the name of the Greeneville Ward.

Bacon Elected President and Delegate to National Meeting. An interesting meeting of the Nor- wich McAll auxiliary was held on Tuesday afternoon at the Norwich clud house, with about forty persons in ac- tendance. The meeting was conductea by the president, Mrs. Leonard W. Bacon, who opened it with-responsive scripture reading, followed by prayer by the Rev. Richard R. Graham an.l | the singing of the hymn Valiant Army of the Saviour, with Mrs. Charles H. Haskell at the piano. Miss klorence S. Baldwin of Boston then gave 3 brilliant and most entertaining address upon the mission work as she saw it in_progress last summer. Of the 39 million people in France, only four million are nominally Catholics, 600,000 are Protestant and all the rest—over 34 millions—are atheists and frees thinkers. The McAll mission does no zttempt to proseiyte. If any one has a perfectly good religion, what 'is the | use of changing it! But if one hus abeolutely no religion at all, that is-a different matter, and should be attend- ed to. Many of this class will come to a McAll meeting when they would not 80 near a church or a minister. She cdescribed her visit to a mothers’ meet- ing in the Fanbourg St. Antoine. This is a district of Paris where, if paving stones are going to be torn up in the city, they are torn up first in the Faa- bourg. She found about 60 mothers assembled here. The oldest one was 96 She lived in a miserable Ilittls room too small to hold a stove and way up in the top of a building, so that she had to climb on a ladder to get inte it. All the women had brought their work. Some had stock- ings to mend—the holes being so largs she didn’t see how they could fill them One was making bathing shoes for 7 cents a dozen and another bead leaves for cemetery wreaths at 17 cents a hundred. They have a horror of gu- ing to the almshouse and so are allow- ed a pension of $ a month instead. A room costs them $2 and the other $4 must pay for food and clothing. So they earn what they can besides. Oae fainted away at an early meeting from lack of nourishment, so Mrs. Graves also furnishes chocolate at each meet- ing now at her own expense. Miss Baldwin then told of her sit in Lille, i which she was especially interested, as that is supported by the Bostcn auxiliary. Here she pictured the Sun- day school held in the Peopie’s home. At least 200 children brought in out of the slums are learning songs truthe and temperance lessons. men in Lille are largely ironwork | and the girls work in the lisle thr factories—a terrible place for gir ¥From the foreman down, they are constant danger: 60 of these girl having a C.

Lately he and his fam- ily gave a tableaux vivant of their life before he signed at all. which was an impressive lesson to their audienc Miss Baldwin concluded with.a visit the military zone outside the fortifica- ticns of Paris, where the Apaches live: Here is where Dr. Anderson goes on his errands of mercy—the worst place anywhere. Even the gendarmes can- not make the place safe. Here Is the rag market and the free fair. Miss Baldwin also told of the poor woman who wantéd to entertain three dele- gates. Her landlord lent her a vacart room for the night. She let one sleep on the mattress, another on the spring. while the third had fhe rest of the bed, and she herself sat up all night After the address the annual reports for the vear were given by Miss Louise E. Meech, secretary pro tem. and by Mrs. Samuel H. Howe, treasurer. Miss Sara L. Huntington was given a hearty vote of thanks for her long and faithful service as secretary and her resignation acecepted with regret. Election of Officers. Mrs. B. P. Bishop gave the report of the nominating committee aud the following officers were electe Presi- dent, Mrs. Leonard W. Bac first vice president, Miss M.
