 OUR COAST OFFENCES.
Senator Joseph Hawley on Thei Weakness-Descrlpt ofNew Ship to Re Built.

senator Joseph HaWley on Their Weakness-Descrlptt ofNevv Ships
 to He Built.
 HARTFORD, Conn.,, April 7.-Senator Joseph H. Hawley addressed the Hartford
 board of trade this morning on the subject,
 ''The Weakness of Our Coast Defences." :" General Hawley reviewed the ups and
 downs of the American navy and criticised
 the indifference of the people in recent
 years to the matter of adequate coast de-
 fence. He described the new classes of
 ships and the new steel guns which are to
 be made, and explained the workings of the various contrivances for harbor de- fense, such as torpedoes, rifed mortars, mines and rams. The recent complica- ity with which trouble might come. Hkli fax, less than two days sea journey from Boston, is perpetual menace to our un-
 protected coast, for England in case of war, would assemble her fleet there. Gen
 eral Hawley said the cost of adequate de- fences for the coast might be S125, ,0G0, ,000, but this would be extended over term of years. No exorbitant tax would be neces-
 sary because of the appropriation of this
 sum and the investment would prove wise
 in all respects.

THE WAYS.Dt SPRING..

Fair dweller by the dusty way,
Bright saint within q messy shrine,
The tribute of a heart today,
Weary and worn, is thine.
The earliest blossoms Of the year,
The s"weetbrier and the violet,
The pious hand of spring mas here
Upon thy altar set.
And not to thee alone is given
The homage of the pilgrims knee;
But oft the sweetest birds Of heaven
Glide down and sing to thee.
Here daily from his beechen cell
The hermit squirrel steals to drink:
And tlocks, which cluster to their bell.
Recline along thy brink.
And here the WAGNER blocks his wheels,
To quaf the cool and generous boon:
Here, from the sultry harvest fields,
; The reapers rest at noon.
And oft the beggar masked with tan,
In rusty garments gray with dust,
Here sips and dips his little can,
And breaks his scanty crust.
And lulled beside thy whispering stream
Oft drops to slumber unawares,
And sees the angels of his dream
Upon celestial stairs.
Dear dweller by the dusty way,
Thou saint within a messy shrine,
The tribute of a heart today,
Weary and worn. is thine.

THE HOUSE WITH II OPEN WINDOW.
Thomas G. Hodgkins was born in Eng
land in 1902, married young, removed to
New York city at the age of twenty-nine,
went into the manufacture Of candy and
p%rospered greatly. His wife died and the
two orphan daughters of his sister went to
live with him, rs he had no children. When
the war began he was rich; he sold his
business plant and invested the results in
such a way that in two or three years he
was immensely wealthy. He then retired
to this lonely place, but one of the nieces
married and left him. The other became
rs fond of seclusion as her uncle and re.
manned with him till her death, two years
ago.
For thirty years the old mar has lived
there, very rarely venturing back to the
city at any time, and for many years past
not at all. He is Il great reader of popular
science and his hobby is the study of the
air. He has given $500, 600 to the Smith
sonlan institution to encourage the study
OF ventilation and pure air in medication,
and announce his intention to give a
great deal more by will. His surviv-
ing niece and only relative is wealthy,
and so he will endow Il library in Setau-
ket and make other charitable requests.
But the time seems rather distant, as he is
an unusually healthy old Englishman, a
fact attributed to his love of pure air and
strict attention to cleanliness.
Visitors, when admitted to his room,
which is seldom, find him in the coolest
weather well wrapped up and sitting by
an open window. That is never closed,
even in the coolest weather. A farmer
named Andres and his wife attend to Mr..
Hodgkins' wants, which are few, and the
farm is very well cultivated, but he never
sells anything and gives away all the sur
plus. He is quite plain spoken as to his
desire to be left alone, but is kindhearted
and charitable. Mr.. and Mrs. Andres,
however, are very sharp tongued to people
who try to intrude, and it is supposed that
their style suits the old gentleman.

LONG ISLANDS WEALTHY HERMIT

His Large Gift of Money to the Smith
sonian Institution.
Southwest of Setauket, l.. L., stretches an
open, level tract usually called Old Field,
and in a lonely part OF it stands a queer old
farmhouse. Apparently it was originally
a small and cheap affair, to which all sorts
of wings, additions, porches and sheds
have been added without plan or thought
of beauty. There is little sign of life about
the place and it has a slightly uncanny
look, yet it is the home of a wealthy man,
a hermit and a scholar in his way.
