II is a sad pleasure to pay some triD-

Willard calls for sincere TESTIMONIAL
of affection and respect.
He was very widely known, having
served in both branches of the New
Hampshire legislature and also Tor
sey eral years as railroad commissioner
Always greatly interested in political
affairs, these public offices gave him
large acquaintance and he was positive
and outspoken in his convictions, a
man who could be depended on both
for honesty of purpose and integrity
of action.
Mr.. Willard was blessed with kind
illness of manner that made him most
agreeable man to meet on all occasions.
He was as gracious to children and
common people as to those of the great
est distinction.
A merchant in Oxford for many
years, having succeeded his father.
Stedman Willard, he was always
known in the Connecticut valley as a
man of the best business ability. he
was also associated in the management
of the Connecticut River Valley Fair
Association which was an institution
long identified with the best agricul-
tural interests of this section. he
was very active in church and Sunday
schoo, natters and faithful to his high
est duties there. AS citizen he was
honorable and kind and best of all, he
mac q model family man.
One of his most marked character
istics was keen sense of humor which
gave him peculiarly genial quality OF
companionship to his nearest personal
friends.
He was man whose memory will
last for great many years to come
in the communities where he was
known and respected.

years previous to 1892. These reports
are of great value to some, but of no

cause they take no interest in their con-

doubtless go to the latter class, and
many are duplicated by the other
Members of Congress from the State.
1t seems to me if they are worth hav-

that those who really care for them,
and to whom they will be most useful,
will be glad to write for them Twill

Gigantic Extinct Bird.

The giant of all the feathered bipeds
was the colossal epiornis of Madagascar.
The scientific announcement of the dis
covery OF the remains of this gigantic
species of bird was made by Geoffroy
st. Hilaire, the great French savant, on
Jan. 81, 1851. The specimen of which
he gave description had been found
in guano bed and stood over IL feet
in height The egg found among the
bones, described by the scientific French
man, was as large as a two gallon jug,
an experiment proving that il would
hold the contents of six large African
ostrich eggs, or 148 common hen eggs.
The giant moa, which is believed to
have but recently become extinct in New
Zealand, was larger in point of weight
and bulk than the epiornis, but it only
stood 9 feet high, quite high enough,
however, when it is known that its
weight was not less than l, 1000 pounds
The great aux is another species of
bird but recently extinct. The most re-
markable thing about this large aux is
the fabulous prices now asked and given
for specimens of its eggs. Quite recent

college boys. Last year, however. the
games were on English soil and the
change of climate had something to do
with the inferior work of the visiting
team. This year the advantage will be
on Yale's side.
The Cambridge men are figuring on
this hewever, ana will arrive in this
country within a couple of weeks, which
will give them an abundance Of time to
become acclimated. They expect to make
a showing, equally as good as if they were

men are fortunate enough to give them

Mikes Wages Were Saved

New York Word: A pale, delicate little
woman sat in an open Caule car yester-
day with a well worn :eticule hanging
on her arm. At Chatham square she
moved along the seat to make room for
other passengers. At the same moment
the reticule slipped from her arm and fell
to the ground between the two tracks,
and in moment was left far behind.
With an ashen face the little woman
cried: Its Mikes wages"
Then she tried to jump from the car.
The conductor caught her and rang his
bell for the car to stop. Then the wo-
ma n dashed back among the cable cars.
horse ears, trucks and wagons which at
that hour cross the lower Bowery. Men
shouted at her; gripmen pounded their
gongs, and she became more and more
confused. She was in imminent danger
of being run over, but her only thought
was to regain that precious bag Sud-
denly the driver of a horse car was seen
to wave the shabby black reticule. In an
instant the woman dashed toward him,
regardless of her life amid the trucks, but
man ran out and caught and held her till
the car driver could reach her. With a
smile he handed her the treasure she had
lost.
Meantime the cable car had been held
for her by the sympathetic conductor.
And as the passengers saw the big tears
of Joy IN the woman's eyes and saw the
relief expressed in her face they did not

means. The Cambridge team is weak in
this event, however, and even if October
9th should prove one of Richards off days
he should have no difficulty in placing
the run to Yale's credit.
Williams and Wilding, the Cam bridge
pair entered for this event, could not get
near G. A. Jordan at the Oxford Cam
bridge games OH July Sd last, Jordan win
ming as he pleased in 10 3-5. A few
days before this, at the Camb bridge games
with the United Hospitals, on June 26th,
Wilding and Williams were easily beaten
by II. G. Woodgate in 10 2-5. In view
of these facts, if Yale fails TO land the
1O0-yards dash, it should be due to very
poor management.
In the 300 yards dash, an unusual dis
tance for American sprinters, the Yale
boys will probably have to run from start
to finish in the dust kicked up by the
BILE feet of Fitz Herbert, the Cam bridge
man, and the finest amateur runner at
the distance in the world. Williams and
Wildman may also start in this race, but
Fitz Herbert would lose them more easily
than the Yale boys, Richards, Burnett and
Gerard.
Fitz Herbert has run quarter of a mile
in :4s 30, and on paper it looks as ii he
would surely capture both the 800 yards
and tie quarter mile for the visitors. Fitz
Herbert does not depend upon sprint
in the final finish dash to win race, He
makes a heart breaking pace from the
very start and holds 1t to the line. He
earned the title of "The Flying School
boy' in 1893, ana when he defeated E. G.
Bredin, the great London Athletic club
crack, at the latter's favorite distance, he
was deemed a wonder. To accomplish
the defeat OF Bredin was no small task, as
be had not been beaten once at a quar-
ter vi mile in six years. With Fitz Her
