Death of Rear Admiral Thatcher.
BOsToN, April 5.-Rear Admiral Thatcher,
of the U. S. Navy, died this morning, aged IA
Henry Knox Thatcher was born in Thomas
ton, Me-, May, 26, 1906, and was consequently
near IA years of age at the time of his death.
He was a grandson of General Henry Knox of,
revolutionary fame, by whose influence young
Thatcher was appointed midshipman in the
navy in 1928. he rose to be lieutenant in 1888,
commander in 1855, captain in 1861, commo-
dore in 1862. and rear admiral at the close of
the war in 1866. After forty-fve years active
service he was placed on the retired list, MAY
26, 1868. The breaking out of the war found
him holding the rank of a commander, when.
he was promoted to be captain and placed in
the command of the frigate Constellation in
the Mediterranean squadron. He was shortly
called home, however, and assigned to the
command OF the steam frigate Colorado in the
North Atlantic blockading squadron, with
rank of commodore. While in that command
he participated in the two attacks on Fort
Fisher, in December, 1864, and January, 1866,
the latter being successful. /
Shortly after the capture of Fort Fisher
Commodore Thatcher was appointed to the
command of the Western Gulf squadron, and
under Admiral Farragut, co-operated with
General Candy in the operations of Mobile
Bay and the reduction of Mobile. 1t was
Thatcher who received the surrender of the
Confederate naval force in those waters Ad.
miral Thatcher's chief characteristic was
prompt and undertaking obedience to the or
dsrs of his superior officers, let the conse-
quences be what they might. For his gallantry
at the naval battle in Mobile Bay in the fleet
under Admiral Farragut he was made Rear
Admiral. Since retirement from active SER
vice Admiral Thatcher has lived in Boston and
vicinity.]
Disastrous Fire in Bridgewater
BRIDGEwATER, April 5.-The most disas-
trous fire that ever visited this place occurred
tonight, in which the machine shop of the
Bridgewater Iron Company, with all its con-
tents, consisting of valuable patterns and cost
iy machinery, was entirely consumed. The
mill burned was a twoIstory structure, 175 feet
in length and so feet in width. The fire or
iginated in the attic where the patterns were
stored, and the origin is mystery. Numerous
rolling mills and other shops which were in
close proximity were saved, owing to the eff
fciency of the fire system about the works.
The loss is estimated at $77 900, with a posi-
BILE insurance of $4,000. 'Seventy-five hands.
are thrown out of employment until the mill
can be rebuilt.

xLvIth CONGRESSES Session.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, April B..
Bill to facilitate negotiation bills of lading of
and other commercial instruments and to pun
ish fraud therein was indefinitely postponed.
Bill granting pension to Jesse f. Phares
was laid aside.
The Senate took up the agreement with the
Mr.. Dawes opposed the bill. 1t provided for
the support of four thousand persons for an in
definite length of time, and would cost at least
four millions. These Indians would not be-
come self supporting while on the barren soil
OF narrow reservation, subjected to the en-
croachments of enterprising miners and sub
sisting on rations dealt out by the government
from day to day. The bill did not go to the
root of the question as to how we shall treat
Indian tribes. He reviewed the governments
policy toward the Indians, and declared his
belief that numerous wars and immense
amount of trouble were due to the faithless-
ness of the whites toward the Indians. He
would prefer to see the $4,000O00 appropriated
Indians. Such policy would gradually bring
about a peaceable settlement of the Indian
question.
At 40 the Senate went into executive ses-
sion, and when the doors reopened adjourned.

Your shoemaker pads the soles Of your
shoes with brown paper il he is dishonest.
Actors pad in order TO make themselves

the l~iveliest sensations OF love In the
breast Of the susceptible maiden. when I'M

Politicians pad their speeches with prom

their sermons by industriously reading
sermons not usually Accessibility to their
Pensioners. Talmage pads his sermons

The Congressman pads his small abili-

The confectioner pads his wares by the use

banker pads his wealth by charging 12

circus man pads his show by the use OF gor

straightway be christened the age Of pads.
