"Who WAS Guy Fawkes 2"

The name of Guy Fawkcs is known To )
every child, taught or untuught, but OF those>,
elders who arc acquainted with the great
historical fact which has rendered the name
OF Guy Fawkes notorious, few know who
the man really was. 1t is not unfrcquently
said of him that lie was an Italian by birth,
and that his real name was Guido. Not So
''Guyc" was the name bestowed on him in
baptism. lie was native of York, and it
is in that grand old cathedral city that his
family associations still lnger. There Is
abundant evidence to show that the parente,
OF Guyc, az also his grandmother, were
members Of the Protestant Church. In one
of the earliest books of the parish of st.
Michael-lc-Bclfrcy,' In which they resided,
occur the following entries. Among the
names OF those who were communicates on
the 9th of July, 1873, are Mr.. Edward
Faux, et mater fjus ct acOr fjus; and the
same entry occurs on the I'd Of February,
1874, and again on Christmas day in tie
same year. Guys mother was a member
of the Protestant Church during her first
husbands life, but there Is every reason to
believe that her second husband, Dionis
Baynbridge, was Catholic. His relatives,
tho Pcrcys of Section, were also Jealous
Catholics, and it Is. supposed that Percy,
oiAS oAeSi-uSSciiPilSC Va oNJO ruWhCS
longcd to that family. His wife was Mar
tina Wright. These had become perverts
to tho Catholic religion through the in
fluonce, 1t is believed, of their brother-in-
law Percy, who, a convert himself, Is de-
Bcribcd as ian enthusiastic devotee." Guye
Fawkcs, during his residence at Scotton,
would naturally be thrown into tho society.
OF Percy, his connections the Wrights, and
that Of three others of the conspirators
namely, Thomas, Robert and John Winter.
These brothers belonged to an old Roman
Catholic family who held large estates in
Worcestershire, and were sufferers from the
severe prosecutions to which Catholics were
at that time exposed but their mother was
n sister of Sir William Ingleby, of Ripley,
whose property lay in the immediate vicin-
ity of Section, and who had intermarried
with some of It's families. Surrounded by
influences such as these at the very outset
of his career in life, it is hardly to be won
dcrcd at that Guy Fawkes was led to desert
the religious principles In which he had been
educated, and to become imbued with that
spirit of fanaticism which eventually led
him to play 80 prominent a part in that
memorable plot known as the Gunpowder
Treason. tt i.s5Sf tslta si5 IT,

But h,s memory in New England
No winter SHOWS can kill

And among these treasured lego Ids

When sound OF distant thunder
Broke tho quiet of tho pIace.
Now tho meadows Of tho Closby's
Lay full within his sight,
AS he glanced from out tho window
Which stood open Oh his right.
Aud tho groom and fragrant haycocks
by tho acros thoro did stand
Not meadow like 10 ueacon's
Ear or noar in all the land
Qnicls and loud tho claps Of thunder
Went rolling through t. skies,
And the Palson saw his Deacon
Looking out with anxious evcs.
"Now my .brothron," called the parson,
And he called with might aud main,
''We must got III Brother Crosby's hay.

And he slut the great rcd Bible.
And le tossed his sermon down
Not man could run more swiftly
Than tho Parson in that town.

The first schooner launched in this coun-
try was built at Cape Ann in TIA. The
first lime was made in New England and
burned in NewbuTy, Mass, by James
Noycs. The first cotton factory in the
United States was established at Beverly,
Mass, 1877. 1t continued in operation u,-
til 1902, and then stopped, ninety per cent.
of the capital having been sunk in the en-
tcrprisc. The first cast-iron editicc erected

sylvania, February II, 1908. The tulip
was first introduced into Europe by the cc-
lcbratcd botanist Conrad Gcsncr, about the
year 1863 It's beauty soon made it so
much of favoritc, and there was 80 great
desire To possess it that what is still
known as the "tulip mania" sprang up in
Holland. One plant was regarded as max
ing its posscssor rich, and was often given
as munificcnt marriage portion to the
bride. More than two thousand dollars
were given for single plant-a great sum
In that country and in those days. Inflam-
mablc gas was first evolved from coal from
1886 to 1899. A use of the gas was first
attempted Mt Cornwall in 1902. The first
display of gaslights was made at BouIton
& Watts foundry, at Birmingham, on the
occasion of rejoicngs for peace in England

WHY VICTORIA LEFT HIS REsERvATIoN.-The
Indian Commissioner to-day received from In
The Ute Troubles.


Gen. Sheridan has sent to the War depart
ment his annual report of the operations in the
military division of the Missouri, a which he
says of the war with the UteS:
s"The recent and unexpected outbreak of the
Utes at the White River agency seems to have
been brought about, as far as can ascertain,
by local causes. The Indian agent wished them
to engage in farming, and many of them were
uncompromiS1ngly hostile to anything in the
way of labor, which might assist in making
them Self-SuppOrting. AS soon as knowledge
of the trouble was communicated by the Indian
bureau to the military authorities force which
was deemed more than sufficient by the agent
was sent from the nearest pest under command
OF Major Thornburgh, 4th infantry. Before the
troops reached the agency, the agent, Mt. Nee
ker, and most of his employees were murdered
Major Thornburgk's force at point IS miles
distant from the agency killing MAJOR Thorn
buTgh and 12 of his men and woundtEg 40 Others,
officers and men The ground selected by the
Indians was exceedingly favorable TO them, and
they succeeded In beleaguring the command
and holding 1t until 3t was relieved by Col.
MerTittS command which was thrown forward
with great rapidity to it's rescue The troops
under Col Merritt then pushed on the agency
without opposition, where they discovered the
dead bodies of the agent and his employees. At
present large column of troops is held at
White River agency, another aarge column is
being organized at Fort Garland, and still an
other at Animas valley, pending the action Of
Gen. Adams, and these troops will be held at
these points, awaiting the result of Gen. Adams
negotiations with Chief Ouray for the surrender
OF the murdererS" !"

HALIFAX, n. s., Oct. 30.-The storm OF yester.
DAY morning was felt severely in the eastern
portion OF the province. AT Port Mulgrave a
terrific hurricane from the east ragged all the
morning, doing immense damage to the build
lngs and wharveS. The schooner Mary Alice OF
harrington, dragged out OF Port Hawkesoury
ana Is now ashore at McNair's Point Three
scnooners are ashore at Hastings, and one Is
ashore at cape Jack Light. Seven buildings
were blown down. Such a severe storm was
never experienced before in that section OF the
country. telegram from Port Hastings saws
the most severe gale ever experienced In that
locality ragged from early In the morning until
noon, when it reached its height. number OF
buildings were blown down and the roofs OF
others were blown to pieces and carried away by
the wind. Scarcely a building in the place
escaped injury. II is reported that house blew
down at Cape Jack, killing an elderly woman
just as she was leaving IT. Three or four
schooners are ashore, but will probably get on
without much damage. A number OF buildings
were blown down at Cariboo Cove and Port
Richmond. AT Antigonish, by 10 am, the
wind had increased TO terrific gale, several
trees on Main street being uprooted. II. S. Lind
sey Co.'S coach house, Allen McDonald's barn,
and the tannery of W. r. Cunningham were
blown down. The roof of st. Nfnian's Cathedral
sustained serious injury. At Bayfield, Anttgon-

be total loss. The former Is insured for 81 600.

Political Notes.

There arc some faint signs Of Mcclellan
boom in New Jersey, but the probability is, that
like everything McClelanish it will not get fairly
in motion until after the close OF the presiden-
ual campaign.
Mr.. Horace White has written from London
letter to the independent (scratching) repub-
ncans of New, York city, commencing their
movement to defeat Cornell and SOule, and sub
Scrtbing 800 for their cause.
The Columbus (ohio) Democrat has been
revived and reorganized with capital of $50, 900,
under JohnG. Thompson as president. It is
understood by the Cincinnati papers that the
editorial management will be offered to John
Cocker1ll, formerly of the Enquirer and Wash
ington Post and now OF the Baltimore Gazette.
-Thefaot stated by the New Kork Post that
the registration listsin Rochester show that one
thousand fewer votes are registered than were
registered last year, indicates certain degree
OF political apathy this year in the Empire state
The stalwart democratic Times, Of Hart
