alton OF lime and salt, and which was very
explosive 1t was intended to supply small
consumers with cylinders Of the gas cal

gas has been tested and was found to he
satisfactory, but highly explosive On the

ored men about whom there are interest
ing stories. William Turner. one of the
belimen, is noted as traveller who has
had strange and dangerous experiences.
He was for two years valet to ex Governor
John G. Downey. and travelled with him
over the world. He was also for several
summers valet to Peter Taylor, the
wealt v lum berman.
Prior to this he was in an awful ship
wreck, the story of which caused thrill
over the globe, Turner Is native OF the
West Indies. He began work in hotel
there Kept by Frederick Lewis Cleveland
brother of President Cleveland. 1t was
the Royal Victoria Hotel, and Turner was
for good while steward IN it.
In 1879 he came to America with Mr..
Cleveland, acting as his valet. They re-
mained several months and then sailed,
ACCOMPANIED by Cecil G. Cleveland, an
other brother of the President, in the
United States mail ship Missouri for the
West Indies.
During a raging storm the Missouri
took fire, ard the flames spread so fast
that out of 1913 persons aboard but seven
teen were saved. AAH the others were
either burned TO death,.or crowned. Turner
was an expert swimmer and he was one of
the first TO reach boat that had been
hastily lowered. He and seven others got
in and were rescued a day and half later
Another boat with nine persons aboard
drifted for eleven days. OF these five died
of exposure and starvation.
B. l.. Tyrrell is another one of the hotel

is a native of British Guiana and served
six years in the American navy. He
served on the famous ship Tennessee, on

during the days that it was in charge of
the little maidens from the land OF the
Mikado-the odd structures from the
Orient. the fantastic roseries, the ponds
filled with lilies between the stems of
which swim beautiful gold and silver fish,
The compartments wherein are kept the
gigantic storks who delight to rest on one
leg, and the stunted pines all serve to
make up a picture of oriental beauty. On
the north side an attempt was made to re-
produce in miniature one of those great
gardens OF chrysanthemum ums that are one
OF the wonders of Japan, but somehow it
