Sudden Death of Lyman Tread.vay.

MT. Lyman TreRdway. for many years prominently engaged in the stove business on State street, and one of the oldest and best known merchants in the city, died suddenly at his residence in Waliingford at noon on Satur- day, aged 65 years and 9 months. He had been attending to his business at the store the day before. Until his marriage with his sec ond wife he had resided in this city, since which time he has resided in Wallingford. He was man ofintegrity and much respected and esteemed. For many years he was in business with the late Sherman Warner; also with MT. Augustus Treadway, relative, now in business h Cleveland, Ohio. He gave up business here at one time, and was engaged for an interval in business at Petersburg, Va, returning again to his former stand in this city after some losses i'll the South. He leaves wife and three children, two of whom are mar ried. His demise causes deep regret among large circle of friends The cause of his death was heart disease. Only short time ago, in conversation with an old business as- sociate and prominent citizen on State street, he expressed fear of excitement, as it caused great difficulty of breathing attendant upon an organic affection of the heart. For the past two or three months his health had failed rapidly. Tho funeral takes place at Walling- ford at 2 p. m. tomorrow and in this city on Wednesday at 3 p. m. from No. 42 Grove street.

A Tall Lady Proves Her Courage to a
Snail Reporter.
Virginia Chronicle.
A tall lady with . saturnine countenance
came into the Chronicle Office to day and
demanded of one of the reporters if Virginia
offered q good field for a series of a dozen
lectures on woman suffrage.
II don't think the Comstockers have
thought much about female suffrage" re-
piled the reporter frankly.
Don't say female" said the tall lady
sharply.
"Why not 7" asked the reporter, in limo.
cent surprise.
Because, sir, q term that il used to des-
cribe sex in animals should not be applied
to womsp."
The reporter admitted, in great humilia-
ton, that the point was we'll taken, and
looked up in some alarm at the severe
countenance of the lady, who was . head
taller than himself and manifestly able to
thrash him in the interest Of progress if 80
disposed. The stern countenance softened
somewhat at these signs of confessed infer
iority, however, and the lady continued:
The cause OF woman is the cause Of hu-,
manity. The cause of humanity embraces
all progress. Why, then, should the peo-
pie Of Virginia be Indifferent to wcmani"
They're not" cried the small reporter,
hastily. Far from it, Woman is the boss
in this camp. Everything she wants che
gets, and lot one :na huldred has to do q
lick of work."
"Mere toys" said the tall one, with deep
scorn. "PlaythiDGs for an idle hour. You
would cover woman with silks and gauds
and sink her soul to insignificance by cir
cumscribing her sphere and allowing her
no mission 10 life"
"Well," admitted the small reporter,
"that's about the wav we look at 1t, up here
that's q fact. Women haven't got the nerve
to rustic for Themselves like men,"
"NER-R-R-vE"
She uttered this word 10 a terrific tone,

from his char.
"Nerve! What is there requiring nerve

and are therefore your euperiors in cour

The small reporter Was gazing fxedly a

Electrical storms.

THE narrow escape which the Cathe.
dral of Notre Dame in Paris recently
had from destruction by lightning, and
the unusual frequency of thunder storms
in various parts of Europe, are attract
ing attention. During the summer the
British isles have suffered severely, and
the hail, which often accompanies cleo
trical disturbances, has played sad havoc
with the kitchen gardens in the neigh
borhood of London, and with the glass
under which the rarer kinds of flowers,
fruits, and vegetables are grown. From
all parts of France come reports of ex-
traordinary disturbances, and earth
quakes have been remarkably frequent
during the present year. Unfortunately
the damages have not been confined to
the vegetable kingdom. An electrician
who has published book on electric
storms and the best method of averting
their dangers gives some figures show
ing the loss of life caused by lightning
in Europe and Russia. During the first
half of the last decade 1852 men and
SlS women were killed, and 1902 con-
fagrations took place. In Prussia,
from 1869 to 1877, 1904 deaths by light
ming occurred. In Austria, during
period of eight years, 100 lives were
French have suffered less from the
"bolts from heaven" for in the last ten
years only $50 have been killed by light
ming, of whom 243 were women. The
English returns are Incomplete, but it
is estimated that on an average 100
Englishmen are killed every year by
lightning. The almost total neglect Of
the use of lightning-rods in England is
remarkable. This carelessness seems
the more reprehensible when the words
of Fuller, the church historian, are
called to mind. In 1865 he wrote:
"There was scarce a great abbey in
England which at last was not burned
down by lightning from Heaven" Yet
at the present time st. Paul's alone, of
all the public edifices in the United
Kingdom, is thoroughly protected. Many
of the lofty spires of the cathredals have
no conductors at all, and not one of
them is safe. Several parts of Windsor
Castle, which from its exposed situation
is particularly liable to be struck, are
unprovided with lightning-rods.-New

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

THE stage-coach running between
Pierce City, Mo-, and Eureka Springs, Ark,
was stopped about II miles south of the lat
ter place, in broad daylight on the Goth, by
six men wearing handkerchief masks and
armed to the teeth. The driver, Eldridge,
was commanded to halt at the muZzle of 4
double barreled shotgun. w. H. Champlin
attempted to draw revolver, when he was
fired on by one Of the road agents, the bull
let passing through his coat-seeve. They
then ordered the passengers, eleven men
and one woman, out of the stage, and at the
same time to hold up their hands. One
man did the ransacking while the other
five kept guard. Mr.. A. p. Man, First As
sistant Engineer Of the ST. Louis and San
Francisco Railway, was relieved of his gold
watch and $270 in money; his clerk, w. II.

secured about $3.50. Two gentlemen
threw their pocketbooks away, containing
some ST. 800, but returned afterward and
got them. The United States mails and
Adams Express were not molested at all.
After they had gone through every body they
ordered the driver to skip and then walked
leisurely into the woods. A party of farmers
started in pursuit Of the robbers.

with copper or silver, for ductility and
power of vibration. An experiment
was made in the use of gold wire for the
strings of the piano with marked re-
suits. Not only was the tone consider
ably increased, but its quality was ma
terially improved. 1t has also been used
in other instruments with equal success.
The extra expense can hardly be
weighed against the advantages gained
by its use. .r....
The Providence Or. ~ Journal
prophesies a brilliant future for the
milk-weed, whose "seeds yield finer
oil than linsced. Its gum can be used
in place of India-rubber, and from its
floss fabric resembling Irish poplin
has been made, while the young shoots
are used in the spring by some people
instead of asparagus, which they resem-
BILE in flavor" 1t forgets the chief use,
or abuse, to which the milk-weed can be
put. The earliest Sanskrit Vedas tell us
of the famous soma drink, the water Of
life, which gave immortality to the gods
and prophetic power TO men, and which
was made from the juice of the milk
weed plant, bruised and beaten up and
fermented with grain.
