Ancient and Modern Greeks,

OF European nations the Greeks have
been longest settled In their present
territory. The bulk of the present in
habitants of Greece are the descend
ants Of the people whose manners
and customs are described In the poems
of Homer The "Iliad" ana the "Odys.
scy" were certainly in existence eight
centuries before Christ, and they are
probably older. They picture n state
of society of still higher antiquity. so
that the nations who are described as
engaged In the siege of Troy must
have llOurlshed at least 5000 wears
ago. But these people are represented
as having sailed across from the mem
nsula now called the Morea, others
from the region lying north of the Co.
rlnthhn gulf. Even at this ancient
period the Greeks described themselves
rs AutOchthones (sprung from the
earth, which merely means that their
origin dated back to a remote antiaul.
ty. Whether they really fought war
with the Trojans IL not material. 1t
Is certain that IIomer's poems are
nearly thirty centuries old, and that
the Greeks were living in Greece be-
fore his time. No other existing Euro
pean nation can claim such an early
origin.

with Newport and Block Island. Visi- tors from New York, instead of going to Newport by way of Wickford, as they are doing, can be taken via Wes- terly on this line to Point Judith and from there transferred by steamer to their destination. The long water trip which is now necessary to reach Block Island would also be avoided by such an arrangement, and where four hours are now required to reach the island from almost the nearest city, but one hours sail would be required.
 William c. Clark, of Narragansett Pier, is the ostensible head of the en- terprise, but it Is understood that a syndicate of capitalists in New York has bonded the railroad and has agreed to have the line finished to MatunuclS beach by October l. If this plan Is car ried out visitors to the coast of Rhode Island next year will have an opportu- nity to see some of the points of inter- est on the coast which they have never been enabled to visit before.

Possibilities of the Contemplated Sea
 View Railroad.

Possibilities of the Contemplated Sea
 View Railroad.
 New London, Aug. 1S.-For several years there has been more or less talk of building line of railroad along the southern coast shore of Rhode Island, which would take in the many natural points of beauty for summer residences from Wickford to Watch Hill. Plans at various times have been contempla- ted for accomplishing this result, but until recently no great headway has been made.
 It looks now as if in the immediate future such road would be built, for capitalists have taken hold of the pro- ject and surveys are already being made. Stakes have already been driv- en from Wickford to Saunderstown. A line of standard width rails will be laid so that cars of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad can be easi- ly switched over the line, connections being made with Wickford at one end and with Westerly at the other.
 There are several beaches and some high points of land adapted for summer residences, that will be tapped, and all ready it is understood purchases have been made by persons contemplating building summer residences. There are many advantages, prospective and oth- erwise, which such road would bring to the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, and it would not be surprising if in the end it was found that the Consolidated people were in- terested somewhat in the project.
 The small piece of road that now con- nects the terminus of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad at Kingston with Narragansett Pier is about the only piece of road of any con- sequence in Rhode Island that is not now controlled by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. Since the New York and New England road with all it's branches has been absorbed by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, nothing has been left except this small piece of road which is now owned principally by Rowland Hazard.
 The proposed new road would not only give the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad direct entrance to Narragansett Pier, but would also give it an entrance to the new harbor at Point Judith, which, in the near fu- ture, as soon as the sea wall is built, will be one of the best on the Atlantic coast, furnishing, as it will, deep and still water for vessels of the largest tonnage.
 It will be by this means, eventually, that quick connections will be made

come on 50 suddenly and so commonly prove fatal, put the baby without delay on a diet of this splendid nutriment, Iactated food. It fully nourishes the child, yet does not irritate the intesti- nal tract that has been disturbed by hot weather, nor overturn the sick stomach. Weak, pining and fretful ba- bies are quieted by lactated food. They take it eagerly and gain steadily in weight and size, without interruption because of hot weather.
 Parents are apt to wait from day to day hoping for improvement in the con- dition of their child. It is this unwise delay that so often costs the child's life.
 At the first indication that baby is not taking sufficient food for rapid growth, or when the child shows signs of weakness, it's skin continually wet with precipitation, its lips and cheeks pale and it's eyes heavy, it is impera- tive that the little one should be better nourished Lactated food at once im- proves the appetite and makes sure that the child's digestion is supplying strength and the means for steady growth. Babies grow big and strong on lactateQ 1000. ClOSe ODSerVdllOn ol countless weaning babies, and of others not thriving because they cannot be in- duced to eat, or because their food does rot nourish them, led to the prepara- tion of lactated food.
 The thousands of happy parents who write to the manufacturers of lactated food that their babies thrive and keep we'll constantly after beginning to take the food regularly y,-these thousands are but small number compared with the many who recommend it personally to their friends and neighbors. MT. Walter B. Hall of Lowell Mass, send ing picture of himself, wife and child, says nointedly Our baby has always been fed on lactated food, and it has always agreed with him. "
 Practiced physicians prescribe lacta- ted food to be kept always on hand and used at once on the first indication of looseness or loss of strength, or if baby is evidently not thriving on it's present diet Lactated food is the infant food physicians use in their own families.

DEATH OF MRs. ". =. KoN0LD.

Occurred at Antwerp, Belgium, Yesterday,
from Typhoid Fever, While on Her We'd
ding Tour-On'y Daughter of George w.
Ives-Her Parents on the Ocean.
The death of Mrs. Lucy Ives, wife of
William J. Konold and daughter of
George w. Ives, the brick manufactures
of North Haven, occurred yesterday at
the Hotel Europa at Antwerp in Bel
GUM. Mr.. and Mrs. Konold were on
their wedding tour, having been mar
ried January % last at the Whitney,
Vile church. They were about to start
on the return home from Antwerp when
Mrs. Konold was taken i'll, at first with
influenza, which finally developed into
typhoid fever George w. Ives, Mrs.
Konold's father, received a cablegram
a few days ago announcing her dam
gerous illness and he and Mrs Ives
sailed last Tuesday on the steamer
Havel for Southampton, going thence
to Antwerp. H. Konold, father in-law
of the deceased lady, received a cable
gram yesterday announcing her death.
She leaves one brother, Alfred, who
is a member of the firm of George w.
Ives & Son.
MIS-. konoid was the only daughter
of George W. Ives and was doubly be-
loved by the parents on that account
She was a young lady whose fine quail
ties had made for her host of friends
all of whom will be greatly surprised
and grieved to learn of her DEATH
which seemed SO sudden, occurring on
her wedding tour, and away from her
native land.
