The Past and the Present.

Harvey c. Crandall, of Carthage, Mo-,
formerly of Emmett, is again heard from
with his regular subscription enclosure

does him good to read and is next to a
visit with old friends" Forty three
years ago, Mr.. Crandall writes, he was
a subscriber of The Watertown Chroni-
Gle, being one of the first on editor
Hadley's list, and continued patron
all the years of its publication. When
The Chronicle ceased to exist he trans
ferred his allegiance to its successor,
THE WATERTowN REPUBLICAN and has
been a constant reader of the paper
since it's first issue to the present time
His faithfulness should have its reward.
Mr.. Crandall never forgets his old home
nor his old friends and his neighbors of
long, long ago are always glad to hear
of his success in life.

The a. Aamold Concert.

It is seldom that Watertown audi
ence has listened to a concert embrace
ing as much artistic merit as the one
given last evening at Concordia Opera
house by A. Aamold, the Norwegian
violinist, and his troupe. In our limit
ed space we must be brief and can only
say of Mr.. Aamold's playing that for
touch and power on his favorite instru-
ment he would seem a counterpart of
of his famous countryman, Ole Bull.
Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, soprano, has a
finely cultivated voice and her trills
and echoes especially have never been
surpassed by any vocalist appearing
here Miss Phoebe Reade, contralto,
rendered her numbers with great sweet
ness Of expression, and the selections
in elocution by Miss F. Rivenberg were
given in bright and pleasing manner
The pianist, Oscar Werner, was we'll en-
titled to the applause he received for his
part in the concert. The entertainment
was under the able management of Vic
tor Thrane. There is little doubt that
on the occasion Of another visit Mr..
Aamold and his company would be
greeted with much larger house than
that of last evening.

The Ice Harvest.

For some days past the work Of stor-
ing ice has been rushed through with
rapidity, men being at work on the
river day and night. Monday the work
of filing the ice houses of S. NJ. Eaton
& Son was completed, some $500 tons
being stored for summers use by this
enterprising firm. The breweries of
the A. Fuermann Co. and Hartig &
Manz will be supplied with all the ice
they want by the close of this week.
The former stores about s, 900 tons and
the latter about $500
S. NJ. Eaton & Son shipped several
car loads Of ice to Aurora this week.
The parties here last week from Chi
cago and Aurora, ILL.,, looking over the
ground and prospects for cutting and
storing ice at this point, went away
without efecting any arrangement.
They could not guarantee enough of
freight to make it an object to the
Northwestern railway to build side
track to the river, and therefore the
project had to be dropped. The parties
have gone to Necedah to cut.

Richa'so and that
Air brother of him played the drum as twicet
as big as Jim?
And old Hi Kerns, the carpenter-say what's
become O. him?
make no doubt yer new band now's a COM
And plays their music more by note than
what they play by hand
And stylisher and grander tunes; but some
how anyway,
want to hear the old band play.
Sich tunes as "John Browns Body and

And 1.-THE Camels Is a-Comin'," and "John

And dozen others of 'em-'Number Nine"

Heligoland.

The relative value Of national pos
sessions is curiously illustrated by
the fact that England, with her g.
100000 square miles of the earth's
surface, receives for this little island
which is not as large as Central Park
an indemnity representing about hall
million square miles of African soil
Even this may prove less than profit
able, for Heligoland yields an annual
revenue of $4,000. while he would
be bold prophet to assert that auy
European power will make both ends
meet in the administration of the
Black Continent. But though as a
mercantile exchange the British have
received a questionable property
from Germany, still it is matter of
congratulation for the civilized
world that the two greatest Protest
ant nations of Europe, both belong
ing to the same GermaniC race, and
both rivals in the same industrial
field, should have removed from be-
tween them the cause of what might
at any time provoke war.
Heligoland became English after
the defeat of Napoleon and his exile
to Elba. At that time no one but
Gneisenau dreamed of such thing
as mighty German empire, stretch
ing from the ocean to the Russian
frontier, and England had little diff
Guilty in holding it by treaty.
1t lies adjacent to Germany
GREATEST seaport, and commands the
approach to the second in import
ance as we'll. If foreigS power
should claim possession of Block IS
land or Fishers Island, we could re-
alize how Germans regard Heligo'
land in British hands Or if we
could imagine an island off the
mouth of the Mississippi, or between
Sandy Hook and Fire Island, the
cases would be somewhat analogous,
provided the British flag floated over
them. Fortunately Heligoland has
long since ceased to be considered
valuable to England, while to Ger
many it has arisen in importance
with every increase in the German
navy, every addition to Germany's
merchant marine, and, above all,
every indication of having to reckon
with Russian or French cruisers

WON'T YOU HELP THEM
More than a Thousand Children
Waiting for Invitations to the
Country.

Thus far this season but few
Country Week parties have been
out. but this is owing solely to the
lack of invitations. About fifteen
hundred children are already regis
tered as Country Weekers, and the
Fresh-Air Fund management is es-
pecially DESTROYS that all its out-of-
town friends send in their invitations
as soon as convenient, not only to
secure the desired holiday for the
little o'es already promised an out
ing, but that no invitations need be
refused this year on account of the
opening Of the schools in the
fall, as was in several
instances the case last season.
Mr.. w. w. Coe, pastor of the pres
byterian church at Wenona, Ill. has
the honor of securing the largest
number Of invitations thus far.
Next Tuesday twenty five little girls
and four boys will leave on the Chi
cago & Alton railway for Wenona,
all going in charge Of Mr.. Coe, who
will take each youngster to the home
selected for him or her, as the case
may be.

be visitors to the country. ooh, l
am just overrun with Them" said

must tell the readers of the Daily
News how many there are longing
for Of country life and green fields;
and then it is so hard to refuse
them. Why, yesterday two little
tots camo here with bag and bag
gage and insisted on going then and
there. ITS summer, isn't it?' quav-
cred the younger one, as thought
after all the hot weather some little
doubt remained in her mind, since
the 'Country.Week, was not in ac-
live OpCldIlOIl. k'IOlAAloNO ~ oNhO

ed
The DAILY News would again
call to public notice the fact that
this charity can be aided by all;
those who desire can pay S. and
send "Country-Week guest for
fornight's outing; those living out
of town can send an invitation for
some little visitors, or, if it is impos
sible, can stir up the interest of their
neighbors who can entertain the lit
tie ones. A postal card sent to the
DAILY News office Will bring by re-
turn mail a full explanation of the
methods of the "Country-Week" and
advice as to the securing of a
large party, sending invitations, etc.

Where Pumice Stone is Found.

We often hear it remarked, and paT-
ticularly after an eruption of vol
cano, pumice stone ought to be plenti-
full and cheap, as quantities must have
been elected during the volcanic dis
turbance. AS matter of fact, how.
ever, none of the white stone in general
use is obtained from active volcanoes.
It comes from deposits of the article
discovered in one or two quarters OF
the globe the best of which is at
present to be found in the Island OF
Lipari, situate in the Tyrhenian Sea.
The island is mountainous in character,
and consists of tufts and lavas, and OF
highly siliceous volcanic products. The
district where the stone is found is
called Camyo Blanco or Monte Petalo
Q,5OO feet above the level of the sea-
After riding considerable distance
partly along precipitous paths suttl-
GENTLY dangerous to be interesting, and
partly through vineyards and over the
grassy plains, one almost suddenly
comes upon seemingly snow-clad,
narrow valley inclosed by hills, also
quite white, and the whole glaringly
bright on a sunny day. Into these
hills workmen are ceaselessly digging
deep burrows, working within by
candle light In their excavations they
come across many Jumps of pumice
stone, which are placed in baskets, sub
sequently being conveyed along the
valley to the seashore, where small
boats are loaded and sailed to the sea-
port near by, where the stone is sorted
packed and shipped to distant parts,
either via Messina or Leghorn.
