Mr. Mulcahy has held his position for 28 years and has just returned from a six weeks' visit 1o Ireland, bringing two of the canes with him. The one which he presented Comptroller Dunn is a perfect speci- men of the kind and one of the hand- somest blackthorn canes in the coun- try, beyond a doubt. Unlike many, it is light in weight, perfectly straight, with the knobs at very regular intes vals,’and makes a fine looking stick, Arrangements Perfocted.

Jackeson street has been greatly im- 'proved by the recent work put upon it by the street department, and it s regrettable that more money is not available to put it in shape all the way. The street has been graveled from the city line to the top of the hill near the Park spring, some 400 loads of gravel having been used. For the balance of the way all that the department can do is to patch up the holes for the present. The next places to be tackled, are West Main and Pleasant streets. Stores Closed. Willimantic was not a very lively city Thursday with practically all of the stores closed on account of the clerks ‘outing, and many others taking advantage of the fact to go away for: the day.

Lathrop Willimantic Camp Ground Fourth Day of Camp Meeting—Largest Attendance So Far—Services of the Day. The fourth day of the camp meetings “was another dog day, and showers al- ternated with Sunshine; yet the at- tendance was the largest of any of the days so far, The auditorium is found o be a most commodious and com- fortable meeting place this hot and humid ~ weather. year's new, spreading roof is of great value. The sunrise meeting at the (aber- nacle was attended by about half a hundred, and was led by Rev. Frank Chamberlain, of Eastford. The eight o'clock prayer and conference meeting at the Stafford house was led by Rev. J. M. Potter of Gales Ferry. “Nahum, the Prophet.” The above was the title of Dr. E. A. Blake's third Biblical lecture at ten o'clock in the auditorium. The meet- ing opened with the singing of Nos. 18, 26. 123 and 125 from The Gospel Message, and hymn 7 from the Hymnal Prayer was offered by the v. C. H. Van¥atter of Warehouse Point. The book of Nahum is a small jew- el, but it as kare gem. It has sirong and brilliant and poetical language like Micalx or Isaiah. He draws a dark picture vz th e doom of Nineveh on account +of its wickedness. Afternoon Servic £ M. Jane E. Read held the children's Lieeting at one o'glock in the New London house, and during the same period there was a social service held at the Stafford Springs society house, addresses by Miss Cannon, who is a guest of Captain Henry M. Randall, Fosgter avenue.

Rev. John Oldham of Wakefield, R. I, read the Scripture, and Rev. George D. Stanley of Jewett City, oftered prayer. The speaker was Rev. L. D. Birney, D. D. dean of the School of Theology of Boston univer- sity, whe_dellvered a masterly ad- dress on Wednesday evening of last Week, during the sessions of the Ep- worth leagne. For a text he took John 12.28, “Then came there a voice from Heaven.” Heaven will never open until man has the same attitude of surender Jesus had when God en- couraged him in the text. What pains Christ most today is that men hear no good and see only things. Beauty and music can be realized only by ex- ercising those particular capacities of the soul adapted thereto. Neglect us- ing your capacity for God and you lose I Don’t Know Perhaps you need a Hammock, Lawn Chair, Swing or Settee, some Matting, Curtains or a Summer Stove. Anyway there is no better place to get them than at Lin- coln’s, down in the mid- dle of Main street, that is the place.

The interdenominational _spirit of this Methodist camp ground was seen Wednesday evening when one whom the district superintendent characteriz- ed as “the greatest Baptist preacher in New England,” was the speaker, the Rev. 0. P. Gifford, D. D., of Brookline, Ma Tre usual praise service was held at seven o'clock. Scripture was read by Rev. Harry H. Critchlow, of Burnsids and fervent prayer was offered by Rev.

Man has two big lessons to study, econgmics for the body, and religion for the soul. The problem of immigration is our greatest problem. for our immigrants are not spiritualiy minded like Abra- ham and the Hebrew race were. With clear and vivid _illustration he showed how the law of self-cruci- fixion was the law of any life that would help the world. We must get beyond ourselves, our family circle, our church, our denomination, . our country, our embrace in our thought and consecration the whole® wide world. Dr. Gifford’s style was clear, his language elegant and his illustrations vivid. He brought his discourse to a close with a praver and the benediction. The people evervwhere were expressing their appreciation of this masterly sermon, What is Going On Friday. At 10 a. m. Dr. Blake will speak on Song of Songs: Its Message For Today 2 p. m.

Interesting Figures from Old Diary. prices for foodstuffs have gone sky- rocketing within the past 10 days some figures from an old diary found in the selectmen’s office gre interest- ing at this time, both from the stand- point of high and low price. The little book shows that in 18 5$ was selling at 7 pounds for & % This announcement is not taken as an excuse for beating that record at this time however. In 1833 potatoes were selling for 27 cents a bushel, oats for 30 cents a bushel. The man that wrote the diary set down that it cost him 17 cents {o bave a pair of shoes tapped in 1823; that he paid 25 centa a day for board and received $1 for the same period for his labor. An in- teresting quotation for beef d mut- ton, in 1315, is 6 cents a_pound. Another curiosity dug up by Borough Clerk Wilson Thursday was a receipt for a barrel of flour, which he bought Just after the close of the Civil War. The man that signed the receipt took $17.50 of Mr. Wilson's money, so the flour men still have some records to shoot at, and they will probably shoot. Army Worms Have Disappeared. As suddenly as they came, the army worms have disappeared from towns in this section of the county, so far as can be learned, and no man knows —nor cares—whither they have gone. Protective measures taken against the pest were very ‘effective in this sec- tion and the losses from the visitation are not as heavy as it was anticipated would be the case. MILK SHIPMENTS FALLING OFF. So Says Secretary of State Board of Agriculture—Starvation Prices Of- fered to Blame. Leonard H. Healey of North Wood- stock, secretary of the state board of agriculture, says that shipments from towns in this section of Windham county t oBoston contractors has shown a big falling off within the pa: few weeks and he quotes a man in close touch with shipments as saying that the number of jugs of milk now going into Boston each morning is far below the normal for years The starvation prices offered by the Boston buyers for good Connecticut milk bas caused some shippers to quit in dis- gust and Secretary Healey says that some of the farmers are drying off their cows. Mr. Healey is very anx- ious to ve a large attendance at the conference of milk producers schedul- ed to be held in Putham within a few days, for he is firmly convinced that means and measures may be adopted that will allow the farmer to get at leist_a reasonable price for milk. Mr. Healey, who has been a shipper from the Quinebaug station to the Boston market, is one of those who has stopped sending milk and he sa: that this practice has become so gen- eral that the Boston supply has been curtailed to an extent that forces the producers to go far into northern New England for sufficient milk to supply the city trade. Items Concerning Local People. Miss Vinnie E. Shaw is spending her vacation visiting in the state of Maine. George Heifeault and Edward He- feault, Waterbury, leave this week to spend a vacation of several weeks in the Adirondack region Postmaster and Mrs. C. A. Potter are arranging to occupy their mew home in Westfield next week. Mrs. Alfred Reed returned Thurs- day from Hyde Park, Mass., where she has been visiting with relatives for several weeks. Henry B. Pettis of Meriden was a visitor * with friends in Danielson ‘Thursday. Miss Olivine Milot, formerly here, but recently at St. Frances hospital in Hartford as a nurse, has been visit- ing with friends in Danijelson. # Unverified Report. There was an unverified report here Thursday that Rev. Victor Faure, formerly an assistant at St. James' church, has returned to France to Join his regiment. Mrs. E. P. Fuller of Mt. Vernon, N. Y. is visiting with her sister, M J. Q. A Stone, and other relatives for a few weeks Miss Mary Monohan, who has been ill for many weeks, remains in about the same condition at her home on Maple street. Borough Clerk Wesley Wilson has gone to Cape Cod on a vacation trip of a few days. Mr. and Mrs. John B. Grenier of Pawcatuck are ‘spending a few doys with relatives in Danielson. Miss Mary Harrington of Hartford is visiting with her parents, Mr. end Mrs. John Harrington of East Brook- yn. Members of the Fraternal Benefit League have planned an outing for the organization at Alexanders lake St- urday afternoon. Jailer Albert S. Fields estimates that the yield of potatoes from the Jjail farm this season will be 2,500 bush- els, and thes emay bring a revenue of $1 a bushel. [STEP TOWARDS GIVING PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE House Committes Has Favorably Re- ported the Jenes Bill. Washington, Aug. 20.—Another step toward giving the Philippines inde- pendence was taken in Congress today when the house committes on insular affairs favorably reported the Jones bill, which would declare definitely for the'first time the purpose of the Amer- ican people as to the future political status of the islands. Representative Jomes of Virginia, chairman of the committee, announced his purpose to press the measure for consideration at this session. A new feature of the bill is de- signed to meet the commercial paraly- sis of the archipelago resuiting from tHe Buropean war; situation. At pres- ent all tariff and _internal . revenue tax laws for the Philippines are en- actedly by congress. The law would expressly confer on the Philippine legislature the right to en- act all tariff laws, except those which affect the trade relations between the United States and the Philippines. The _Philippine people, representa- tive Jones said today, “must have means of supplementing their revenue just as we have in this country. At present their hands are tied and they can only look to the United States.” Russia row has 17,356 manufac- turing establishments, employing 2,151, ves._- PUTNAM County Sealer Johnson Here Today— Will Make Headquarters in Muni pal Building. Charles J. Johnson of North Grosvenordale. county sealer of welghts and measures, is to be in Put- nam today (Friday) for the conven- ience of the people of the city and will test dry and liquid measures. Seaicr Johnson is to be at the office of the captain of police in the municipal building on Church street. It is well to remember in connection with nis visit that « state law provides that any person who has a weighing or measuring device which has not been ed by the sealer of weights and eusures within one year shall e fined not less than $20 and not more than $200, or imprisoned for not more than three months. Distributing Premium Lists. Leonard H. Healey of the Woodstock Agricultural society is distributing the premium lists for the 53d annual «x- hibition of the society, to be held dur- ing the coming month. The unfortu- nate accident at last year's fair, in which George Bernler, Jr., of Mechan- icsville lost his life in a balloon acci- dent, and the trial that has since fol- lowed to secure damages from the so- ciety, will in no way affect the holding of this year's fair. The decision in the superior court here was in favor of the agricultural society, but an appeal has been taken to the supreme court and will probably be heard during Octobar. The case has been ready for the atten- tion of the supreme court for several months, but could not be reached be- fore the summer vacation season, ne- cessitating the delay until fall. Trestle Work_Progrgssing. Trestle builders of the John Marsch Construction company have completed the trestle to the concrete abutment of the Grand Trunk raflway on Main street in Webster. The completion of this part of the work marks the pass- ing of River street, which has been wiped out by the new railroad. More than 20 houses, the majority of them four anq six tenement flats, have been moved from the street or torn down to make way for the road. Nothing now remains of the street, which has been replaced by a gigantic wall of rock and earth dumped in the fill oy the construction trains of the crews of ‘builders at work. Civil Cases Awaiting Trial. A mass of business awaits the su- perior court at the opening of the Sep- tember term on the first Tuesday in the coming month. The number of new criminal cases number just over a score. Nothing of these, howexer, indicate such lengthy trials as occu- pied the attention of the court last year, when the Howarth-Cain and Lawson cases were disposed of, and it is believed that the criminal business will be quickly taken care of. There are a great number of civil cases due for trial at the coming term of court, some of them of considerable impor- tance, and these will occupy the at- tention of the court during the greater number of days that it is to be in ses- sion.. Putnam Personals. Frank H. Cordier, who is a natient in a Worcester hospital, is rapidly re- coyering after a recent operation. Mre. Mary Belanger, a patient in the Day Kimball hospital for _several months, returned to her home in Danielson. Miss Mae Tibbets of New Hamp- shire, formerly of Putnam, is visiting with friends here.

Arousing Interest in Coming Mesting. Activity upon the part of those that are determined that milk producers Lereabouts shall have just compensa- tion was particularly noticeable Wed- nesday, when much effort was being put in toward having a large gather- ing of farmers at the meeting sched- uled to be held here on Aug. 26. T meeting is certain to be of great in- terest and probably of much benefit to the farmers. Appointed District Nurse. Miss Olivine Milot, whose home this city, has been inted distri nurse by the Metropolitan Insurance company in the territory extending from North Grosvenordale to Plain- field.

Storm Did Dam: The electrical storm which began at 7 o'clock Wednesday evening and reached its climax at 2 a. m. Thurs- |day did considerable damage in the valley.

Constipation and Heat Often Fatal Regularity of Bowels Very Im- portant to Health at This Time. At no time of the year shoyd peo- ple be more careful of the c« ndition of their bowels than in hot ‘weather. Many things may cause constipation in summer, but whatever it may be the trouble should be promptly remedied. A constipated person lays himself or herself open to serious and often fatal diseases. That feeling of congestion. lassitude or dull headcahe is the first warning of trouble. Don'L‘ try to remedy it by the ex- cessive eating of fruit, which usually has a laxative effect but lacks action in extreme cases. What is needed is a rellable but mild laxative-tonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Take a dose of it at night before retiring—it is pleasant-tasting and free from grip- ing—and by morning your bowels !l“ be emptied and your head clear. You will feel energetic again. You cannot obtain such results with cathartics, purgative: salts or pills, as, unlike Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, they are without tonic value and en- tirely too harsh. Among the thou- sands of dependable converts to Syrup Pepein are the families of Mr. F. C. Harris, Live Oak, Fla, who now finds his stomach better than it has been in ten years; snd s T R, Remer, 585 San Pedro St. Trinidad. Colo. who iz cured of various digestive troubleg after all the doctors that she knew had failed. A bottle can be ob- tained of any druggist at fifty cents or one dollar, the latter size being for family use. Results as claimed are guaranteed or your money will be refunded. This grand remedy is the safeguard of health in thousands of g00d American familtes. Families wishing to try a fres sam- ple_bottle can obtain it. postpald, bY . addressing Dr. W. B.
