Ridgefield, Conn.,
months ago the town
took to collect a bill
ward Lahey of Danbury for a tax on 30
acres of wood land. Unique formalities
were observed in taking possession of the
land. On going to the land Constable Tay-
lor announced that he entered thereupon
by right of a court order and, picking up
a clod of earth, read over it the decree
of judgment of the court and the paper of
foreclosure. He .then handed the clod to
First Selectman Keller, the official rep-
resentative of the town, and the property
was declared to have been handed over
to the town by due process of law. The
costs of the court proceeding were about
$150. The land is almost inaccessible.
Demands $3,000,000'Damages for Ruining
His Oil Business. ’
Trenton. N. J., Aug. 24.—George Rice,
of Marietta Ohio, instituted suit in the
United States circuit court Friday for $3.-
000,000 damages against the Standard Oil
company for the alleged ruining of his
oil business.
Rice charges that the Standard Oil com-
pany corbelled railroads to charge his
customers exorbitant freight rates; opened
grocery stores to break down his competi-
tion. and in other ways succeeded in
taking away from him 4000 customers, an
oil refining plant worth $750,000 .and a
business worth $50,000 a year.
This suit is brought under the inter-
state commerce, act of 1890, and is similar
in character to one entered in the court of
chancery of New Jersey by Rice, in which
he seeks to compel the revocation of the
company’s charter under the laws of New
Jersey.
While the damages claimed are $3,000,000,
the actual amount is $1,000,000.

Descendant of William Penn is Given Din-

By Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 24.—Members of the
Pennsylvania society in New York have
given a dinner In honor of the Earl of
Ranfurly, governor general of New Zea-
land, and a great-great-great grandson of
William Penn. The earl’s cousin. Major
Dudley Alexander, also was a guest.
Lord Ranfurly is now on his way home
to England to surrender his governor gen-
eralship, which office he has held for a
long time. He Is a direct descendant of
Thomas Penn, the second son of William
Penn by his second wife, and who. next to
his father, was the Pennsylvanian most
interested in the development of colonial
Pennsylvania.

The great recepton held at the store of
Mr. F. E. Mistnot, on Tremont street,
last evening was a decided success. Many
hundreds of guests flocked into the store
and were taken in tow by some of the 50
odd young men or women for whom the
reception was given. These young folks
showed the visitors through each depart-
ment and then to the elegant club rooms
which have been fitted up by Mr. Mistrot
for the exclusive use of his employes. It
is the store owner’s idea that if things
are made pleasant tO' the greatest degree
for employes better results will be ob-
tained from their work. This is the only
result he expects. The comfort and en-
tertainment of his employes may be said
to be a hobby with Mr. Mistrot, for he
has it continually in mind. A commercial
school for his employes is also another
purpose which he is contemplating and
has hopes

store. At the head of the stairway lead-
ing from the second floor is a large recep-
tion hall, sumptuously fitted throughout
in old style Flemish oak mission furni-
ture. Th® entire scheme of decoration and
furnishing carried out the mission idea,
both in detail and color. To the right of
this hall is an elegantly furnished room
fitted up as a pool and billiard hall, where
the employes may enjoy that feature of
club life. Back of this is the library and
reading room, where the very best litera-
ture is on file at all times, as well as a
well stocked library of the best books for
young minds. The furnishings here are
done in quarter-sawed oak, and the rugs
and tapestries are rich. Across the recep-
tion hall from the library is a smoking
room, which, like the other rooms, shows
decidedly good taste in decoration and
furnishing. Another room, whi<;h is ex-
clusively for the young ladies,' is elegantly
fitted throughout -with everything that

and lounging quarters. Back of this is
the dining room, fitted with buffet, side-
board, with all the things to stock it, and
large dining table and chairs to match,
done in quarter-sawed oak. A kitchen,
fitted up with all the necessities for a well
regulated place of that kind, stands back
of the dining room. The large S'3-3 range
and the utensils are all there. The kitchen
and dining room are arranged for con-
venience, and afford the clerks a place to
prepare their own lunch and a place to
enjoy eating it. A large, airy room south
of the kitchen Is being rapidly equipped
with all the apparatus necessary for a
good gymnasium. Baths—tub, shower and
pool--are all well arranged, as well
other accessories.
Mr. Mistrot’s commercial school plan
quite ingenious. To enter, according
the plan he now'has, each applicant willl
be required to become a member of the
Retail Clerks’ Protective association, or,
as it is better known, the Clerks’ union.
The student will then be given the neces-
sary examination as to his or her qualifi-
cation to take the branches taught. Once
becoming a student, the management of
the store will require only just so much
of the time of the student as occasions de-
mand to help in the rush days in the sales
departments of the store. There is where
the practical part of the training comes
to the student. The enrollment will not
/
be allowed to go over 50—25 to each sex.
Mr. Mistrot proposes to furnish the
teachers and equipment, and when a stu-
dent has sufficiently mastered any branch
he (Mr. Mistrot) will have the option of
giving employment in the store to the suc-
cessful student. In this manner he ex-
pects to equip his store with young men
and women thoroughly trained in the de-
partments, and thereby better able to cope
with the conditions of trade.

A Preparation Discovered That Will
Destroy the Dandruff Germ.
For some time it has been known that
dandruff is caused by a germ that digs up
the scalp into little white flakes, and by
.sapping the vitality of the hair at the
root, causes falling hair, and, of course,
finally baldness. For years there have
been all kinds of hair stimulants and scalp
tonics on the market, but there has been
no permanent cure for dandruff until the
discovery of a preparation called Newbro’s
Herpicide. which destroys the dandruff
germ. Destroy the cause, the effect will
cease to exist. Kill the dandruff germ
and you’ll have no dandruff,
scalp, no falling hair. Sold

Newcastle, Ind., Aug. 24.—J. W. Kip-
linger, a farmer in moderate circumstanes,
this week refused an offer of $38,000
his 40-acre farm south of this city. On
farm is located a well of water noted
its medicinal properties. The well is
feet deep. The water, according to an-
alysis, contains per gallon 234 grains of
mineral matter, namely, sodium, chloride,
calcium chloride, calcium carbonate, mag-
nesium chloride, etc.
Mr. Kiplinger makes no charge for the
water. It is free to all and many are
benefited * by its use. He would rather
give it away, he says, than sell the farm
for the handsome sum to the syndicate
because he desires to attain the greater
happiness by helping the afflicted.

thoroughbred sheep belonging to Morrow

40 miles east of Pineville.. While the
herder was alone and occupied with the
care of his flock about 20 horsemen, with
faces blackened, emerged from the timber
and approached within a short distance
of him, when a command to throw up his
hands was given and complied with.
Leaving him near a tree and behind it, for
protection from the bullets, a general
fusilade with Winchesters was com-
menced b ythe mob, which lasted nearly
two hours, by which time the entire flock
had either been killed or scattered in
every direction. No clew has been

The high crowned hat has made desper-
ate efforts to catch the fancy of American
women of fashion but until the past
month met with little encouragement.
Late summer importations show them in
stunning models and they are sure to be-
come popular for dressy occasions.
A delightful creation in this line is. a
straw of palest creamy yellow, the high
tapering crown draped the entire depth
with tulle slightly deeper in shade than
the straw. The brim,, comparatively nar-
row at the back and sides, but wide in
front, droops gracefully close to the hair
at the back and also at the right side,
and lifted sharply at the left side. In
front, posed high upon the croyyn but ex-
tending out upon the brim and softening
the angle of crown and brim, is a cluster
of the huge petalled roses now so much
used by the smart milliner. These roses
are in tea rose shades of creamy pink and
yellow, toning perfectly with
and tulle.
Another charming model is
the same shape, but trimmed
plumes that droop over the upturned brim
on the left side and fall low upon the
hair; and still another is a shape whose
broad brim droops froqt and back and is
only slightly raised from the head at left
side, where a large rose is tucked under
the brim, against the hair. The crown,
higher and more tapering than the two
just described, is quite, hidden, save on
top, by folds of soft silk, and a little to
the left of the front, this same silk is
gathered into a,huge lO’Ose rosette.. The
shaded silks are^especially good for such
a purpose, being^folded so that they will
shade from dark ne^ct the brim to light
at the crown top, whil^ the. deep tohes
are in the hear^t of the rosette and the
light shades at yie outer edge.
Hats of the alcove -type, however, must
be knowing wor.^1, and would, not be be-
coming to every woman, nor harmonize
with eyery sort of attire, and heaven for-
bid that we should see such hats worn
with our beloved shirtwaist suits.
It is when adorned by the bird of para-
dise that the new hat is most imposing,
and a large percentage of the high-erown-
e<^ hats are decorated with the bird or, at
least, the waving plumes of this gorgeous
bird. The birds are -used in most striking
colors, and luckily their cost will keep
them from general use. Plumes, while not
so ultra-modish and new as the bird of
paradise, are immensely popular as trim-
ming for the high-crowned hat; and the
preference is given to full plumes of mod-
erate length bunched to stand up against
the crown and curl out over the brim,
rather than to the very log plume of last
season.
A host of new shades with such fantas-
tic names as. “lion’s mane,” “cockchafer,”
etc., have been added to the gamut of
browns and there seems little room for
doubt that brown will have even greater
vogue in the fall than it had last winter.
White plumes trim many of the hats in
white or pale color and white and black
tips are bunched upon straws In some of
the stronger or gayer colors such as the
new carnation pink or rose red. Bright
blue shaded tips are much used and tips
of vivid green are also popular.
Of the flower trimmed hats fully three
out of five sport pink roses; though upon
the severe models intended for wear with
tailored rather than frivolous costumes
orange tones are the favorite relieving
notes. The orange shades appear, top. In
the dressier hats, but for wear with the
dainty muslins, dimities, laws and laees.
the pink rose trimmed hat is first favor-
ite. They are used in innumerable ways,
these roses—bunched against high crowns, ■
wreathing lower crowns, lining flopping
brims, banked against the sharply up-
turned brims and nestling under drooping
. . vnri ot n
brims.
Streamers or strings of one sort or an-
other are considerably im evidence among
the new hats, althousji 4IieY belong rather
to the flat shapes and Jgo.^s than to the
Directoire of Louis gjiap?^ English mil-
liners favor strings begipping at the sides
of the low crown upon flat, wide brimmed
hats, running out ovep.the brim just above
the ears and tying loosely under the chin,
or fastening at one end uppn the hat and
not tied at all under the chin, but only a
woman with a prejty faage should follow
this example. f
Lingerie hats and hats fashioned wi-
tirely from plaitings andc-shirrings of tulle
or silk mousseline are charming with
summery thin frocks in corresponding
colors; and hats made of innumerable
rows of narrow Valenciennes lace
among the prettiest models of what
be called the lingerie designs.

two great springs, or holes, in the north-
west part of the la*ke. One of these holes
covers an area of three acres and is 100
feet in depth, while the other is 75 feet
deep and is an acre in extent.

merely holes in the ground the engineers
are unable to say at present, but the dis-
