White With \ Vengeance.

Here is astate OF things which probably
not the wealth of the Astcrs could by
in America. Lord and Lady Abingdon
have place in Dorset known as the
White farm. Everything is accordingly
white. All the farm buildings, the
house itself, and even all the animals on
the place are white. Rabbits, cats,
guinea pigs. Eens, horses. cows, donkeys
and all the creatures are spotless.
But this is not the most remarkable
feature. The free and independent Brit
ism men and maids who till the soil and
churn the butter are compelled to attire
themselves in white smocks and white
frocks to bear ont the general impression

They stood in front OF the AstC. House
looking about them in a dazed sort Of

the street, but the long line of trucks

Presently she clutched hila by the arm
and anxiously, even nervously, looked
into his face.

''Yer right" replied John. Cant

She clutched his arm, and with bur
ried steps they proceeded down Barclay

A party Of gentlemen on the steps of
the Astor House had been watching the

between them.

The philosophical gentleman looked

covered with ice and he looked as II he

he entered one OF the local saloons this
morning he unbuttoned his coat and
throwing il back he struck his hands to-

letters implied, but when the truth
dawned upon him he began to execute
war dance around the countryman, What
he said cannot be mentioned, but when
he attempted to make an assault upon
the inofensive man he was seized by those
who were present and held until the
matter could be investigated. The irate
man then explained that the farmer was
a member OF certain proscriptive or
ganization known as the American Pro-
tective association, and as this was the
first man of that genus that he had met
he wished to exterminate him ct once.
The farmer, now thoroughly surprised,
denied this charge.

report of the trustees of the hospital

the hospital Is in prosperous condition.
The report OF the medical and surgical

X. OF T.. Presentation i'm Westminster
Ihsa,er Last Night.
Fifty or more of the members OF Elm
wood lodge, X. of p, attended the even
ing performance at the Westminster
theater last evening for the purpose of
welcoming Carr and Tourjee, who are
members of the order. Mr.. Tourjee Is a
member OF Elmwood lodge and Mr.. Carr
is member OF Oriental lodge. The Elm
wood boys had something besides
the performance on their mind
for, during the performance in which
these gentlemen took part they were in
terrupted by Past Chancellor Reuben s.
Bemis, who in a very pleasing manner pre-
sented Mr.. Tourjee with a beautiful piano
lamp. As soon as the recipient had re-
sponded Mr.. Bemis requested to be intro
duced to Mr.. Carr, who was told that
while he was not member of Elmwood
lodge, he was part and parcel of
Mr.. Tourjee and a member of
the order, and was entitled to
the love, esteem and good will OF every
member OF the order and he, too, was pre-
sented with token, it being in the form
of gold headed cane. Mr.. Carr has been
upon the stage for many years, but it was
evident that the occasion was rather too
much for "Pop" Carr, and it was with
considerable difficulty that he responded.
The incident was pleasing one and the
audience entered into the matter with as
much heartiness rs II they were all men,
bers of the order. Mr.. Tourjee is a
resident of this city and has a beautiful
home on Portland street. Mr.. Carr's
home is in Bristol where he can be found
during the summer months.

SPRINGFIELps Mass, Dec. Is. - The
Springfield Union today shows that the
report that Zella Nicolaus, who sued
George Gould to recover $4,000, did not
sail for Europe under the name of Harris.
M. Il. Harris of Beckett was seen by a
Union reporter. He said that the Mr.. and
Mrs. n. w. Harris were his brother and
sister-in-law and resided in Chicago. "Mr.
furris, ne SKID, n of the firm Of n. W.
Harris g. Co., one OF the largest banking
houses in Chicago, and is irreproachable
in character"
Mr. Harris was very much exercised
that his brother should have been mixed
up in the Nicolaus-Gould affair, and was
surprised that the mistake should have
occurred, rs there was no secrecy in re-
gard TO their sailing, and the steamship
officials should have been able TO put
newspapers right without any trouble.
