Established 15W.J A general breaking up of prices is running along the Dress Goods shelving like an ocean wave breaking and wasting itself upon the beach. Prices are sagging everywhere, here a dime, there a quarter, everywhere a something a yard at less than it ought to be. No "fake" bargains here. No, it is only one of the shop's" characteristic pranks. Just to do something out of the ordinary something no other store has done or will do for you make cut price bargains in mid-season.

alias Francis Truth, the healer, who recently tried his powers In a different direction on two Hartford constables and paid a fine in the police court was not at home yesterday morning. Inquiry at No. 553 Asylum street re vealed the fact that the "doctor" left for parts unknown Saturday mornlnir mm mat ne was followed by his wife Saturday evening Th nn) thin- at the home' were the telephone, a Will Bemis, Alias Francis iTruth. superannuated dress suit case and some empty beer bottles. The colored porter was removing: a few hods of coal to the family butcher's, as payment on account.

The milkman, the porter declared, had not been so fortunate. "But de servant girl an' m'se'f pot ours all right, dat's suah." chuckled the Southern boy. 'Twan't but $3, anyway," in a rather apologetic way. In answer to an inquiry, William Rls-bee, the porter, declared that "Dey's a pretty swift push. Dey live pretty high.

Dey used to have a mighty lot of champagne, an' wine, an' beer, an' de doctor he used to have plenty whisky. De Florida cracker wus in great luck, suah 'nough." "Who's the Florida cracker. William?" inquired the interviewer. "He's de bloke w'at does de religious ack. He's a poor white from Florida, He got up de meetin's an' de doctor he done de healln'.

But he ain't no good, nohow. He drank a heap and you ought to hear 'lm swear. He wus swearin' 'roun' all de time, I tel you, t'lngs has been mighty lively 'roun here. De doctor, he got off all right, but I guess he had a pretty close call." However that may be. It is doubtful if the doctor will find It desirable to return.

There are many creditors who would be pleased to see him. GOLD STREETHEARING. Arguments Made Yesterday and Will be Completed To-Morrow. The Gold street Improvement matter will be with the committee for a decision after Wednesday. The matter was before tha committee yesterday and two of the arguments in the case were completed.

It Is the desire ofthe committee and counsel that the arguments be finished at the next session on tomorrow and counsel expect to finish by that time. When the hearing opened yesterday witnesses were called in behalf of the Aetna Life Insurance Company. Among those who testified were ex-Governor Bulkeley, H. W. Fox, Thomas H.

Bis-sell and J. M. Allen. Their testimony was to the effect that the Aetna would not be benefited by the Improvement. Mrs.

Holcombe, one of the members of Ruth Wyllys Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, who has been quite active in having the improvement made, was called in behalf of the city. She told the committee of the work which, was intended. Street Commissioner E. J. Mulcahy also gave testimony in behalf of the city.

City Attorney McConville made the opening argument in behalf of the city. He said that unless there was some great and manifest injustice done, the committee ought not to disturb the assessments proposed by the board of street commissioners. The city of Hartford Is to be assessed about one-fifth the entire cost, he said, and it ought not to be assessed more when it is questionable if the park or cemetery would have an added value of $1. Besides the city will have to improve the street at further expense and he doubted, if it had been left to popular vote, If the city would have voted a dollar. He claimed the improvement was manifestly great to adjoining proprietors.

The First Ecclesiastical Society, he said, contributes $5,000 by submitting to an assessment which might not have stood test. It should not be assessed more. Judge McConville claimed that the improvement was demanded. A change in assessment may delay and defeat it, but the parties complaining would be the greatest losers. General Charles M.

Joslyn, who represents the Clapp and Hubbard estates, made the only argument in opposition yesterday. He did not touch upon the law In the matter but discussed in a general way the benefits to the property and discussed somewhat the testimony of witnesses. The other lawyers who will argue on Wednesday are Mr. Hunger-ford, Mr. Sperry, Mr.

McLean and John W. Coogan. William Waldo Hyde will make the closing argument for the city. DENTISTS EXAMINED. Examination of Candidates by the Dental Commissioners.

Jones, of Holland, Va. "My wife was troubled with a cough for nearly two years. I tried various patent remedies, besides numerous prescriptions from physicians, aiT of which did no good. I was at last persuaded to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which promptly relieved the cough. The second bottle effected a complete cur-j."

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. Track Meet with Springfield, at Char-1 ter Oak lai k. At this season of the year H. P. H.

S. takes especial interest In her track team. The boys have been training: under "Steve" Daly for the past month and are now In pretty good condition or the dual meet with Springfield Saturday afternoon at Charter Oak Park. Last year II. P.

H. S. was overwhelmingly defeated by Hotchklss, but now that she has a cha-nce to try conclusions with a school of her own class she ought to make a good showing. The records-made in the preliminary field days held by each school indicate that they are very evenly matched and the contest Is bound to be close and exciting. Jasper.

1900, seems to bo Hartford's best short distance runner. His time in the 100-yard dash in the school field day was given out as 10 seconds, although many look It as fast as 10 seconds. Springfield's best man in this event is Rogers, a post graduate, whose best time is 10 seconds. In the field day at Springfield last Saturday Rogers won the 220-yard dash in 26 seconds, the 120-yard low hurdle and the 220-yard low hurdle in 30 seconds. Hartford's time in the 220-yarJ dash was 25 seconds, made by Jasper, and the 220-yard hurdles was won by Captain Ingraham In 30 seconds.

In the 440-yard dash also the teams are very evenly matched, Springfield's time being 66 seconds, made by Whipple, and Hartford's best time being 57 seoonds, made by Jasper. In the mile run Springfield has a very fast man in Jacobus. His time Saturday was 6:8 and he is capable of running inside of 6 minutes. Hartford has Grant and Arnold, who are both good runners and ought to give Jacobus a good race. Springfield is especially weak In the broad and high Jumps and Hartford ought to take these events easily.

Hartford's time In the mile walk was 9:16. while Springfield's was 9:34. Springfield is strong In the shot put but weak In the hammer throw. In the 2-mile bicycle race Springfield has a fast man In Robertson, whose time on a quarter mile track was 6:2. Lycett Is Hartford's best man.

He won second place in the meet with Hotchklss last year and is riding fast. Taking everything into consideration the meet is bound to be closely contested and there should be a large crowd at the games with pome of their old-time H. P. H. S.
