De found in the world and it is from this
town that is shipped each year the fat fowl
that graces the White House table on
thanksgiving day. The records of the
town fail to show how the practice of
sending New England turkeys to Washing
ton each year originated, but for many
years Judge w. H. Hilliard of North Ston-
mSton, Conn.,, made it his particular bust
ness TO send turkey to the President.
Last year Horace Vose, esquire, had the
honor of sending President Har-
rison the annual gift. This particular tur-
Key weighed only thirty-eight pounds, and
was raised on the farm of Horace Bright
man. He was big, bronze-backed, yell
loW-legged, red-wattled fellow, not quite
one year old. When he shipped him to
Washington Mr.. VoSe said, well, if l live
until next year and Grover Cleveland lives
until then, / will send him the finest tur-
key ever raised in these parts" Fortu-
nately, Mr.. Vose is alive and well, and so
is Grover Cleveland, and the loyal Rhode
Islander is now securing the rocky farms

In 1892 sixty tons of turkeys were shipped
from here to eastern markets, and the
amount is apt to be increased this year.
1t appears to be one of the local duties of
a United States Senator to assist in select

senator Anthony, an epicure of world
wide fame. always took great in

turkey in the Westerly lot was
shipped to Washington. Anthony is gone

Turkey raising, however is not the chief

Gives His Home to the Poor.

A dispatch from Waverly, Ia, says:
To the INDECENT people Of Bremen county
the prospects of journey cover the
hills to the poorhouse" will henceforth
be robbed Of many of it's terrors, for,
through the generosity of Mr.. Abraham
Simmer, those who are so unfortunate
as to become public charges will dwell
in marble halls. Mr.. Simmer today
dropped into the county auditors office
while the board Of supervisors was in
session and pleasantly surprised that
body by presenting it with a deed of
his palatial mansion that overloolls the
city from the west, and which, with the
beautiful park surrounding it, is valued
at $40, 900. The only condition Of the
transfer is that the dwelling should be
used exclusively. home for poor per-
sons. and the donor takes it upon him
self to pay the expenses of the establish
ment till his death.

FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.

Terrible Result of n Joke Played by Boy
on His Little Sister.
A pail hangs over the house of John
Powell, who resides in the little hamlet
of Prospect Plains, N. j., about 10 miles
from this city, by reason of the untimely
death of Mary Powell, his bright 12-
year-old daughter. Her death was the
result Of practical joke played by her
brother, who is nearly crazed by the out
come of his thoughtlessness.
The children were playing about the
house In the evening when Mary be-
thought herself Of some doll clothes she
had left in the cellar. She was of quiet
and timid disposition and did not enjoy
trip into the darkness of the cellar. She
finally conquered her fears sufficiently to
hurry down stairs, and justa as she thought
she was out of harms way her brother
appeared, and the thought occurred to
him that now was his opportunity to
give Mary a fright. He availed himself
of the chance and quickly closed the eel
lar door as Mary reached for the knob.
When the girl realized that she was
alone in the dark, she screamed in ter
ror. To increase her fright, the boy gave
vent to series Of sounds that made the
little girl nearly frantic.
The boy listened to his sisters cries
until her screams grew fainter and
finally ceased entirely, when he became
alarmed.
His alarm increased when he called
the girl by name and received no reply.
and he was terrified when he opened the
door and found his sister lying on the
floor.
Receiving no reply to his questions,
he rushed in search of his mother, who
was Mortified to find her daughter was
dead. A physician was summoned, who
gave it as his opinion that the little ones
death was the result Of aspasm produced
by fright. The boy, who was the cause
Of his sisters death, lies in bed, tossing
about and moaning, and refuses to be
comforted.-New Brunswick Special.
