Sad and Singular.

The recent deaths of ex-Judge W. B.
Brown, of New Philadelphia, O., and
Frank Brown, his son, only three hours
apart, were most singular and sad.
The son had deep affection for his
father, who lay sick unto death. Frank
had told the family frequently that
when his fathers last hour arrived he
too would die. When his father passed
into comatose condition the devoted
son, who had been in perfect health,
threw up his arms and fell to the floor
dead. The father died three hours
later. Their ages were 81 and Sc, re-
spectiyely,

When Sheriff Jones was at the Cleveland Insane
Asylum last week. for the purpose of committing
patient from this county to the charge of its of
fcials, he made few notes which we are permit
ted to make use of, through his kindness. There
are 675 patients of about equal sexual division,
and l75 attendants. 1t requires three barrels of
flour daily to supply the inmates with bread and
pastry. and 600 pounds of beef are consumed each
day. In the same length of time, SEQ pounds of
milk disappear in the service of the institution.
Sheriff Jones says he was impressed with the
cleanness and neatness apparent on every hand,
as well as the superior Quality of the edibles. A
regular bill of fare is furnished each day, from
which the patients food is selected. either by
himself or medical attendant. The new laundry
department is about completed and taking it all
in ALL he thought the institution was under first
class management.

shall be paid on every share once q month un-

Dick Gatley of Portland, eX-Department Com
mander of the Maine &. A. II. and the omnipresent
representative of the navy, told me, the other day
that he once sold a pint of whskcy that he snug
gled aboard ship, for $40. "Grog ratons in the
Navy had been abolished before our last war be
gam" said Mr. Gatey. "We got an extra allow
ance of 81 80 Il month, instead. But some of the
men were thirsty for the stun that they'd give
anything everything for it. Whiskey
worth $40 pint the minute you got it over the
side; but twasn't easy to get it over the side"
Mr. Gatey may be correct in the price of
whiskcy, but he is wrong when he says that grog
ratons were abolished in the U. s. Navy before
our last war began. As Il matter of fact grog
rations in the Navy abolished Sept, !, 1862,
nearly one year and half after the war began.
1t was great blow to the old sailors, who had been
used to their daily rations of grog and who eager
" looked forward to the time when the boatswain
piped all hands to "spce the mainblace." Many
old man of war men left the navy this account.

Morris Young of Searsmont, Me-, and Aaron
April 18th, 1903. They claim that they are the
oldest twins in America, being 81 years of age
and alive today. There is another pair out
west who are 81 years who claimed they We're
the oldest, but they were born in May instead
of April, so the Youngs are the older.
