had promised to swing off with his friends
dog i'm his arms. The idea was 10 give
the dog 'notoriety;" but the friend had
weakened and failed to have the dog on
hand. Just before the drop fell he lifted
up his eyes and said, 80, God for Christ
sake, forgive all my sins" Then he
told the executioner to pull the rope
tight, that he would stand pat, and
begged those around him not to lose
their nerve. In the opinion of the
newspaper reporters, his prayer for for
giveness was nothing more than hollow
mockery, and possibly the reporters were
correct; but all the same, it is likely that
it meant little more. Having given up
all hope in this world, he was not alto
gether past grabbing at straw in the
next.

noble-hearted and Christian man could

BLESSED are the dead which die in the
Lord"
The choir Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. +. f.
Hoyer and Messrs. f. II. Gould and A. E.
Ferry, sang the hymn, "Rock of Ages"
closing the services at the church.
The line of march was then made up,
the band preceding, followed by the Bus
mess Mems Association, the Odd Fellow
Lodges of about $50 men, the Maccabees
with about rs men, and the Uniformed
and subordinate lodges K. of p. with over
100 men. A large number of friends fol-
lowed in carriages. At the vault the
subordinate lodge X. of p. circled around
the coffin and the Division and other
bodies formed larger circles around them
The burial service of the Order was then
read by Knight w. H. Bigelow, the
Knights marching in circle to deposit
the sprig of myrtle. Rev. Cromer pro-
nounced benediction and the remains
were taken into the vault. Reforming
the bodies marched to their halls.
The floral tributes were by far the
most beautiful ever seen in this city, in
Guiding the triangle of the Knights of
Pythias; broken column with q dove on
the top, from the trustees of the church;
a pillow with the emblematic links from
the Odd Fellows; broken wheel from
the brothers and sisters; and number
of others.
During the procession the stores on
Washington street were all closed, and
the Estey factory was shut down. The
funeral was the most largely attended of
any ever held in the city, and showed
the respect of the people for the man
who lived noble and upright life, hon-
est in business, kind and obliging social
ly, and ever ready to lend a helping hand
in time of need.

North Newburg Farmers Club.

MIR. and Mrs. q. w. Lemon kindly
opened their spacious dwelling for the July
meeting of the Farmers Club.
After the arrival of large company the
President called the meeting to order and
the opening music was furnished by the
quaItette. AS this was our regular day for
the election of officers, that work was taken
up, the same officers as at present being
chosen for the remainder of the year with
simply change of committees. The neces-
sary business having been transacted Miss
Fanny Card rendered fine piano solo. In
view of the extra business session no topics
had been assigned for discussion, but a
question box was instituted as a profitable
way of disposing of the remaining time.
Several subjects of practical interest were
discussed, and it proved to be time quite
prodtably spent, music being interspersed
for amusement. A duet by Mrs. Pelton
and daughter was highly appreciated, also
piano solos by John Whelan. We were
then ushered to the dining room where a
delicious repast awaited us.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lemon entertained the club
under difficulties owing to the severe illness
of their daughter Laura; nevertheless every
one returned home with feeling of having
enjoyed a thoroughly pleasant afternoon.

 Interest is already at a high pitch over the Rossow midgets, who have been secured as the star attraction at the Wonderland for next week. These re- markable lilliputians, who have been well styled the wonder of the age, are, besides being the smallest men in the world, the most extraordinary acrobats and athletes. Their wrestling and box ing exhibition is said to be the funniest thing on the vaudeville stage, and the writer, who has seen it, does not hes- itate to declare that on no stage has anything ever been produced which is calculated to create greater interest or induce feartier laughter The engage ment at the Wonderland will mark the only appearance of the Rossows in New Haven

London Aug.

Negotiations were still proceeding with France concerning these questions, he said, and there seemed to have existed on the part of both France and Siam a tendency to underrate the claims and rights of England, but all of the parties were approaching the discus sion of all the question involved in a thoroughly friendly spirit
