federate army2" / asked.
"No, sah."

Killed by u Train.

G. G. Campbell, a Canadian French
man, 30 years of age, and q teamster
for S. A. Hamlin, at Essex, was run
over and killed by the eastern bound
freight train No. 9. last evening at or
near Essex. Campbell had been to
Verdi and filled himself with whiskey
and started home. He staggered on
the track immediately in front of the
train which was on down grade and
under full head and was hit and
thrown about thirty feet into tho air,
receiving injuries from which he
shortly died. No blame can be at
tached to any one, as Campbell was a
victim of his own folly.--iGazette.

A FAiR SMUECLeR.

A wealthy cabin passenger who
landed from the Arizona the other
day tells the following story:
son Wednesday night when l
turned into my berth l found my
self very restless, and at about 2
O'Clock on Thursday morning, being
still unable to sleep l determined TO
90 on deck and smoke. | dressed
myself, and as it was blowing rather
hard, carried with me a well worn
light summer overcoat that | had not
used in long time. AS the breeze,
though strong, was rather warm,
however, | had no need of the coat,
so looked about for some place to
lay it down until had finished my
cigar. Then / noticed how shabby
it was, al d l held it up by the collar,
wondering whether l had better throw
it overheard or keep it until l
reached New York and give it to
some poor man. A sudden gust of
wind decided the question for me. 1t
filed the old coat like balloon,
dragged it out of my hand and car
ried it quarter of mile to lee
ward. l thought it rather a whimsi-
cal incident, and at breakfast l tried
to make my wife laugh by telling her
about it, but it did not amuse her at
all. On the contrary, she was so
distressed that she hastily left the
table lest any one should see her
sorrow, and when | followed her to
our stateroom | found her in tears.
81 was very much astonished.
Between you and me she is more
than ordinarily sensible woman, and
it seemed impossible that the loss of
a WORKOUT overcoat should have thus
opened the fountain of her grief.
go James,, she said, Il am not
crying for the old coat, but (sob)
there was $500 worth of lace that l
bought in Belgium stitched in its
lining. knew you hated SNUG
Cling, so | didn't tell you about it,
Boo-hoo!" -Star-Sayings.

Talk Ahont Town

Said prominent New Havener yester- day regarding the Italian question: This outbreak at New Orleans, and especially should a war ensue, will greatly cement the fast-growiug feeling of union between the north and south and to wonderful de- gree wipe out the remains of the i'll feeling engendered by the war which still exists in the south. But Italy is not likely to en- gage in war with this country, and aside from weightier reasons to prevent may be mentioned the millions of money spent every year in Italy by American tourists, to say nothing of the mint of money left there in almsgiving by iberal-hesrted Americans. The present rupture will, moreover, prove a national benefit in the fact that it will arouse and greatly foster the feeling that the United States must own & navy equal to the task of protecting our great extent of sea coast

Death ofT. c. Bar,p, MI c

LONDON, April 2.-Thomas Charles Bar. ing, one of the two members of parlia. ment representing the city of London, died in Rome to-day, of exhaustion result ing from surgical operation recently performed. Mir. Barring was for some years engaged in the banking business in New York city and was for more than twenty years a partner in the firm of Barring Brothers & Co.,, London and Liverpool. He was born at Adderbury. Oxfordshire, in 1881. He was a son of the late Charles Barring, D. D., lord bishop of Durham, and was the nephew of the first Lord Westbrook. In addition to being a member of parliament Mir. Bar ing was a justice of the peace for Esser, Middlesex, London and Westminster, and was in the commission of ieutsnancy for London. The deceased was also the author of ''Pindar in English Rhyme" !" ''The Sys- tenn of Epicures" and other works.
 MT. Barring was staunch conservative and a strong churchman. He was edu- cated at Harrow and Oxford, where he was scholar of Wadham and afterwards & fel- low of Brasenose college, and afterwards graduated B. A. in 1852 and M. A 'S5 As the death of MT. Thomas Barring is likely to affect public confidence in the progress of the consolidation of the new company it is announced that the capital will not be withdrawn.

WORK OF TORPEDoEs.

Discussion Paused Among Army Officers by the Recent Naval En- gagement in Chili-Heavy Ordnance Shells.
 WAsHINeToN, D. C., April 2.-Current events in our own country have quickened the interest felt in naval matters and the report of the recent naval engagement in Chili. A fact that at once attracted at tention among these officers was the fail ure of the fish torpedo. Our own cruisers are nearly all furnished with devices for ejecting these automobile torpedoes, but instances of their practical utility are lacking, and it was not comforting to the torpedo enthusiasts to learn that the tor pedo in this case has missed its target and destroyed a drydock probably worth half a million of dollars, in which the insurgents who are at sea, and who directed the tor pedo at the foe were probably more deeply interested than the government forces which are mostly on land. It was perceived that these weapons might, as had been feared by some officers, prove to be dan gerous boomerangs that would destroy the vessel that elected them or another of their own squadron, Then, too, the off, cers who had leaned to the belief that tor pedo boats would prove to be powerful means of defending our almost unpro- tected ports were surprised to learn of the ease with which a simple sloop of war the O'Higgins-knocked such a craft all to pieces at one broadside. The terribly de- structive effect of one modern heavy ord nance shells was also noticed with interest, as was also the fact that the forts man aged to chase away the sloop of war with ease. Altogether, the engagement has not been without profit to our naval officers, who are awaiting with interest an official report of the affair from some of our own ships at present in Chii.

HAVOC WITH THE WIRES


 Old winter apparently does not wish te leave us without a struggle, as was evi. dent by the small blizzard which started its effective work early last evening. The snow was of that particularly disagreea, able kind, each flake of generous propor. tions, which, when it struck, formed 8 good big drop of water to trickle down one's neck or elsewhere.
 The storm raised havoc with the fire alarm and telephone wires. About mid. night the alarm bell kept up a continual ringing, due to the breaking of wires. The telegraph service was also badly crippled. Communication with most of the out-of. town places was cut off and the local wires were tangled badly.
 The telegraph service suffered with the rest. At an early hour this morning only two wires were open to New York and one to Hartford. All communication with Boston and points east of Hartford were cut off The storm was one of the most serious of the year in its damage to the

PROMINENT MASON DEAD.
Demise of Grand Commander Albert Pike of the Scottish Kite Masonry
 Sketch of His Life.

Demise of Grand Commander Albert \ Pike of the Scottish Rite Masonry
 Sketch of His Life.
 WASHINGTON, April 22.-General Al bert Pike, grand commander of the Scot tish Rite Masonry of the southern juris- diction and the chief of the Royal Order of Scotland for this country, died this evening at the home of the supreme council of the order, where he had lived for several years. The cause of death was paralysis of the organs of the throat, which has prevented him from taking either food o1 drink since March 21. It is said that Gen eral Pike has appointed Josiah H. Drum mond of Maine as his successor as head of the Royal Order of Scotland, and it is probable that his successor in the Scottish U. s. N., Thomas H. Caswell of Califor- nia or Thomas M. Dudley of Kentucky.
 Albert Pide was well known to all per sons interested in Free Masonry. He wa. born in Boston, Mass, in 1909, and entered Harvard in 1926 but did not graduate, leaving college to become principal of Newburyport Grammar school. In 1881 he went west and finally settled in Fort Smith, Ark, where he taught school and edited newspaper. He fought in the Mexican war and on the Confederate side in the late war. After the war he edited the Memphis Appeal and then moved to Washington to practice law. He hal written many Masonic works of great re search and has been for years the highest authority on Masonic matters. He also wrote many poems and other literary works. He was an intimate friend o1 Webster, Clay, Calhoun and other famou. men of ante-bellum days.
