 Illness of Deacon Willis Hemingway The Little Bluefsh-Bunnell's Drum Corps-At Riverside Park To-Day. Deacon Willis Hemingway is serious ly i'll.
 Alfred Greuner, clerk at W. A. War ner & Bros. store, is taking his vaca- tion this week.
 Little bluefish have commenced run ming in the Quinnipiac river They are very small yet, but in a couple of weeks will be the right size for good pan fish. fevorite spot for fishing is the west pier of the Quinnipiac bridge when the last of the ebb tide and the first of the flow comes about o'clock in the after noon.
 Bunnell's drum corps went to Derby yesterday to attend the convention of the Connecticut Fife and Drummers' association This corps was organized about twelve years ago and was fa- nous throughout the state, being call ed at that time "Bunnell's Solid Five" Tuesday evening about fifty members and friends of Degree of Honor No. 2 went on a trolley ride over the New Haven Street Railway company's line. stop was made at Lake Whitney, where ice cream and cake were served.

for law, his devotion t3 the cause of freedom, his attachment to his country, and his reverence for God; and not un- til these principles regulate the conduct of all who inhabit this land will the la bors of the Puritan be finished. Until that time shall have come, his brave and dauntless soul must stand guard upon the turrets of our temples of lib- erty and progress By the unalterable laws which constituted his rules of life must American manhood be measured; by his standards of right and wrong must questions of governmental policy be determined. From no other course can come the solution of the problems that confront us and protection from the dangers that menace us, Men and women in whose veins flows the blood of Thomas Munson, the preservation in history of the deeds and virtues of our ancestor impose upon us added obliga- tions to society and to our country.
 Through the vista of two centuries and 9 half we may discern his com manding figure upon the rugged shores of New England, in the full vigor of his early manhood. For eight and forty years he walks within our view. As though conscious that every step he took would be subjected to the light of after ages, he turns not once aside from the pathway of duty. His fellow men appeal to him and he answers; the church demands his services and he re- spends; the colony calls to him for pro- lection against the savage and its foes. and proudly he stands forth scorning the fear of death. Oh, my kindred
 how rich in example how worthy of emulation was the life of him who sleeps in wonder grave, Not one of those who are here assembled, nor of the thousands who have borne his name; not one of his descendants who on subsequent fields has won re- nown, or in literature, the arts, or sci ences, has achieved distinction but might turn with pride and salute him, Sire. And here to-day, amid the scenes of his life let US resolve that his noble convictions of right and duty, inspired by the immortal truths of religion, and his high standard of integrity and honor, shall be forever preserved by those who bear the name of Munson.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1896-12-10

The annual report Of the Secretary OF
War urges a continuance upon large
scale of the work of providing modern
defences. which was begun three years
ago, and for which generous provision
was made at the last session Of Con-
gress. During the three years 21S heavy
rife-guns have been completed and 200
more are in process of construction. Ii
Congress adopts the recommendations
of Secretary Lamont, it will appropri-
ate nearly $16,oOO,OOO to carry forward
the work of construction another year.
This amount will require all the public
and private plants to work to their full
capacity in the supply Of ordnance ma
terial The last appropriation was
about $11 100000.

The Gulf Disappearing.

1t is rather a disturbing thought to
feel that great portions of the earth's
surface are slipping away, as in the
case of mountain in Gard, France,
Niagara changing, or that the Gulf of
Mexico is being gradually filed up. The
latter change is predicted by the st.
Louis Republic.
In the years to come, the biographies
will make ne mention of the Gulf of
Mexico, but will picture an immense
tract of lowland in it's stead, the map
probably provided with footnote
something like this: ''Note-There is a
tradition that this level tract of swamp
land was once a billowy sea several
hundred miles long, embracing all that
country between Mexico and Cuba on
the west and east and Yucatan and
Louisiana on the south and north"
This state of affairs is being gradually
but surely brought about by the Mis-
sissippi and other United States rivers,
which annually deposit millions Of tons
of sediment in the CULTS bottom. Ex-
pert photographers declare that the
Mississippi alone annually deposits
mud sufficient in the gulf to cover one
square mile of it's bottom to a thickness
of two hundred and forty feet.

cattle company in New Mexico and was
in the very flush of his fortune when
the storm Of the star route scandal
burst upon him and swept him off his

the clouds of the storm wrecked in for

years he has made his home in Denver

of rehabilitating himself. He has just

The action Of San Francisco theater
in formally requesting women to re-
move their hats while at the show has
been followed by the directors of the
Metropolitan Opera House Of New
York. A dressingroom will be pro-
yided and the headgear will be check
ed. If they dared the directors would
like to compel everyone with seats on
the lower floor to appear in evening
dress. as is the rigid rule in many Euro
pean theaters. So, at least, a represen-
tatiye of the house says. The directors
idea is that such dressing would en-
nance the beauty Of the house at night.
So we presume it would, but is it the
duty Of the audience to beautify the
theaters? Do the directors suppose that
the purchasers of the orchestra seats
60 there as do the owners of the boxes
to make a fashionable show of them
selves? By no means. Most of them
are lovers of music, who often scrimp
themselves for weeks that they may
hear the music to advantage. 1t is none
of the directors affairs how these peo-
pie dress, and their presuming to die
tate in the matter is a gross imperti-

Fought a Savage Lynx.

The ugliest appearing animal that
ever walked a log, killed rabbit or
fought a trap is the lynx, which is just
as ugly as it looks ten months in a
year and somewhat uglier during the
other two. Not only will the lynx fight
anything that walks the woods, but it
will also tackle a visitor from the
clearings, be he man or dog or half
grown calf, if the occasion offers.
Jim Berry was hunting up in Maine
about forty miles north Of Greenville,
when he and his friend came suddenly
upon the carcass of a caribou which a
bear was eating. The bear made itself
scarce, much to Jim's regret, as he
wanted to kill a bear. Without saying
anything to his friend he left camp the
next day and started for the carcass,
intending to watch it in the hope that
the bear would return. He waited and
watched till about o'clock in the
afternoon, when he began to think of
returning to camp. A soft football back
in the woods, the crafty step of some
wild animal, just then sounded in his
ears. Pretty soon the beast was chew
ing the caribou meat, and Jim could
see it plainly. He leveled his buckshot
gun and pulled the trigger when the
wabbling muzzle was pointed in what
he thought was the right direction.
The beast went down and Jim started
for it. Then he stopped with his mouth
open.
The beast had leaped to his feet and
jumped sideways with it's back up. Jim
knew the yell, and he also recognized
the bumped back. It was wounded
lynx spelling for fight. Not having
time to level his gun to shoot, the man
dubbed it, and the blow stunned the
cat little, but the beast got in a rake
on the mans legs that tore his trosuers
and hide, too. Another frantic sweep
of the gun barrel laid the beast fiat and
then a revolver bullet killed the animal.
The buckshot had torn the top of the
lynx's head-enough to make it angry
