PERRY'S LAKE ERIE FLEET.
"Reminiscences That VIII Prove Inter-
estIng at the Worlds Fair.

estIng at the Worlds Fair.
In view Of the fact that Perry's victory
on Lake Erie in the war OF 1872 will
probably be fully illustrated at the Oc-
tober ceremonies at the Worlds Fair, in
formation as to how that fleet was built
may prove of interest. A. W. Brown,
the last1 representative of the Brown
family which built that fleet, furnishes
the statement of Noah Brown, his great
uncle, as regards the work.
The Brown brothers, Noah and Adam,
engaged in6the shipbuilding business at
New y ork in 1904 with Furman Cheese
man. AS to the Perry fleet Noah Brown
says:
ain 1913 we were called upon by the
United States Government to go and
build Perry's feet. l started from New
York February 18th, and with a small
gang arrived in ten days at the town of
Erie. The weather then was stormy and
the snow deep. More hands arrived the
last OF April and we began to drive busi-
ness with considerable speed, and the
navy agent Of Philadelphia sent on men,
and they began to arrive in the middle of
May. In all there had collected about 200
men, and then we were short of iron,
Oakum and pitch; but there was British
schooner of in the ice. We proceeded to
her and got out about twenty barrels of
pork and quantity Of rigging and cables.
w z nldu6 Odkuill OF lu6ln anu burned
the schooner and got the iron. 1t helped
us with the gunDOats, and L rode all
around the neighboring towns and
bought Of all the merchants every bar of
iron l could find. The Government was
to send iron, pitch and oakum, but
the roads were so bad that l had almost
finished the fleet before any arrived at
Erie.
"My men several times declared they
would work no longer if they could not
have better fare. l satisfied them by
giving them liberty to go and buy all the
cattle and other provisions they could
find. Several were gone four or five
days. and when they came back their re-
port satisfied them all, so l had little
trouble atterward.
The enemy often appeared before our
harbor, and several times came to anchor
within three miles OF us. Our men vol
unteered to protect the shipyard, but the
enemy did not venture to land, and we
We're as willing they should not land as
they: so we had no use for our arms.
I'VE had completed our vessels by the
middle Of June, as follows: Three gun
boats armed and fitted for sea; two brigs
and one sharp schooner for a dispatch
vessel and lookout, as she could outsail
anything in the English et."-Chicago

WIDOW OF THE LAUREATE.
Sketch of Lady Tenny-
sons Personality and Life.

sons Personality and Life.
In the summer of 1850 Thomas Carlyle
wrote To his wife gossipy personal let
ter containing this paragraph: alfred
looks really improved, l should say;
cheerful in what he talks and looking
forward 10 a future less detached than the
past has been. A good soul, find him
where or how situated you may. Mrs.
Teunyson lights up bright, glittering
blue eyes when you speak to her: has
wit has sense, and were it not that she
seems so very delicate in health | should
augGr really Weu OF Iennyson's adven-
ture."
The reference was to the marriage OF
Alfred TennySOn and Miss Emily Sell
wood which took place on the 18th of
Jane in that year, and one sentence of it
was sadly prophetic, for the lady has
been little better than an invalid since
the birth of her younger child. Her
father. Henry SellwOod, was the last save
one of family OF country squires who
settled IN Berkshire during The reign Of
Charles l. Her mother was a sister of
Sir John Franklin, and her sister mar
ried Charles, the brother of Alfred Ten
nyson.
The year 1850 may indeed be spoken of
as TennySOu'S annUS mlraDllS, for in
that year he was married, published his
.Tn Memoriam' and was made poet
laureate. Despite the lady's i'll health
their married life was singularly happy,
and the rare references 10 her in his
writings are due to that extreme shyness
or reserve which characterized him in all
matters relating to his home life. The
surest way for any acquaintance TO ac-
ouire his dislike was TO take notice of
his home life and give any facts, how
ever triling, to the public. In the deCli-
cation appended to '.Enoch Arden" he
speaks almost with freedom OF his wife.

Dear. near and true-no truer Time himself

SNOWY" THE SPARROW.
An Interesting Little Denizen of Cen
tral Park With n History.

tral Park With History.
Snowy" the sparrow, a winter resi-
dent OF the Central Park menagerie, is a
bird little noticed by the public, but has,
nevertheless, quite an interesting history.
Two winters ago, one morning, when the
snow was thick on the ground, Philip
Holmes. the keeper, who has charge of
the deer, antelope, .butfaloes, camels and
zebus, was cleaning up behind the shed
given up to the American bison, when he
espied nearly white sparrow lying on
the snow under small bush on the bank
near him. He took up the bird, and find
ing 1t still had little life LETT i'll it, took it
down to the antelope house, and wrap
ping 1t in some flannel placed it near the
stove. The bird soon began to recover
and Holmes fed it with some soak ed
meat. BY the evening il was quite chip
per and went to roost on one OF the
beams of the house. All the winter
it made its home here, taking
its quota of food from that sup
piled to the animals, and became
quite tame. When spring came round
''Snowy" would forage for food out Of
doors, but always came back before the
house was closed for the night and roost-
ed on the old beam. one DAY Snowy
disappeared, and "Phil" thought his sinai
feathered pet had probably been killed by
somebody who wanted an albino spar
row in his ornithological collection. This,
fortunately, however, was not the case,
for at the latter end of the fall ''Snowy"
came back with a piebald family, which
were introduced into and housed in the
antelope house for the winter. Last sum
mer Snowy" went away again, and only

1t Was Made on the English Coast One

The longest swim ever made without
the aid of artificial help, such as life pre-

Samuel Brock, Yarmouth EngIand)
beachman, the night of October II. 1885,
says the St. Louis Republic. On the after
noon OF the 14th Brock had noticed a shin
at sea signaling for a pilot. He, in COM
pany with nine other seamen, started for
the vessel in the yaWl Increase. At4 O'Clock
they came up alongside the ship, which
proved to be the Spanish brig Paduette
de Bilboa. y pilot and three beachmen
were put on bOald and the Increase then
headed for shore, which was twelve miles
distant. At 6:3O O'Clock, when the nearest
land was still SIX miles of, squall
sunk the Increase and drowned all on
board except Brock. From the way that
floodtide was beating off shore it soon
became evident to the man in the wafer
that if he ever did manage to reach the
land alive he would have to swim about
fifteen miles in a roundabout way.
A swell sea drove him out over Cross
sand ridge before the clock bell tolled
at st. Nicholas gate, and it was a long
two hours and a half later before the
nearly exhausted swimmer caught sight
of the bell and light buoys themselves. It
was now nearly midnight and Brock had
been in the chilly water about five hours.
Within the next hour he sighted a vessel
at anchor, and by an almost superhuman
effort managed to get within about two
hundred yards, when he hailed the look
out. \ boat was Immediately lowered
and the hali-drOwned man taken on
board. The vessel proved to be the Betsy
of sunderland, and her place Of anchor
age about sixteen and three-quarter
miles from where the Increase capsized.
Thus it was proved that Brock had made
the remarkable distance Of nearly seven
teen miles in seven and half hours on
that chilly October night.

CREAMERY UNCHANGED.

The Elgin Butter Board Does Business ct
Last Weeks Prices-Dried Fruits IN
Sharp Demand-Seeds Higher and OaSs,
Hay and Wheat Firmer-Revised Prices.
TUESDAY, Nov. 15
No change in prices was made at the
session of the Elgin butter board yesterday,
and consequently there will be no alteration
in quotations current here this week. The
market is quoted very strong. however, and
commission men are confident that the top
has not yet been reached. Supplies are
light, and owing to the successful war
against oleomargarine. legitimate goods
have a monopoly, with the demand running
mainly to creamery.
Coffee is quoted strong at Mondays ad-
vance, and sugar is a trif1e weaker ut the
late decline.
The demand for dried and evaporated
fruits is steadily increasing and prices are
tending upward. big trade is expected
until after the holiday season.
Oats and hay continue to show strength,
wheat is a little firmer ana corn, flour and
grade of flour used by bakers has materially
increased Oflate.
Glover and timothy seed are higher under
All improved demand and in sympathy with
higher markets in the West.
Demand continues good for prime stock oil
most all varieties of potatoes, but where n
preference is shown it usually falls to white
descriptions. Receipts have been liberal
for some time, and supplies on hand now are
fair. but at same time there is no disposition
on the part OF the market to weaken, prices
ruling firm as quoted.
AS the weather grows cooler and conse-
Quently favorable to goods in the dressed
poultry line, more interest is naturally
manifested. During the warm weather con-
sumers are mainly supplied by local Dress
ers, but in short time retail dealers will be
looking for their supplies from the produce
