QUEER MIDGET CANINE,
Only Five Inches Long and
Rides Inside Mr.. Nc.
Lures Vest.
BIDS DEFIANCE TO ENEMIES.
Is Great Traveller and Has Been All
Over the World-A Fighter
From Away Back.

J. Y. Mcclure of Troy, Ala, who has
been on a visit to Cuba, Venezuela and
Guatemala, is among the arrivals at the
Grand. Mr.. Mcclure has strange travel
ing companion, in a miniature canine,
only about five inches long, which occu-
pies q coign of vantage next to his shirt,
on the inside of his vest.
In this position, with his head thrust
over the top OF the vest, the small dog
bids defiance to enemies of whatever sort.
His bark has scarcely more volume than
the notes of a canary, though it is, as may
be supposed, pitched in different key.
Many huge mastiff has had his curios-
ity aroused by the defiant challenges
hurled at him from some unknown quar-
ter by the Lilliputian canine.
Mr.. Mcclure secured the prodigy in an
obscure town in Alabama. It is of light
ish dun or somewhat yeilowish color, and
the hair is as fine and soft as that on a
mole. The little fellow is perfectly formed
in every way. The eyes are bright and
ssucy and the teeth are as white as ivory.
Mr.. Mcclure has been offered plenty of
money for the canine, put no money can
get 1t OF him, for in the long years that he
has travelled he has become attached to
the midget and the latter to him. 1t
parent.
The dog has plenty of pluck, but, despite
the air of bravado which he assumes from
time to time be is so little that any one
would think Norway rat In free fight
would throttle him to death. This is the
opinion that numerous persons have en-
tertained of his prowess. However, in a
real battle the dog is said to spread terror
to beasts much larger than himself.
This little fellow has been over good
part of the world with me-" said Mr.. Me-
Lure, land he knows as much about me as
any man alive--knows all my whims,
when l am sad and glad, and governs him
self accordingly.
at is needless for me to say I wouldn't
sell him. / have been offered large sums
at different times, but none OF them were
any temptation. 1t is too valuable dog
for me to sell. After all, there are things
you don't want to part with for money, no
matter how much you get"
Mr.. Mcclure was here about q wear ago
and had the dog along then. The gentle.
man will be here few days, and viii then
proceed to his home in Alabama. He
travels for large picture-house in which
he is interested.

the task. While lighter beams could have
been made here, the weight and price
would have been 80 per cent greater.
"The whole matter was fully discussed,
and the representatives of the rolling
mills had several consultations with us.
The only feasible plan submitted by them
was that of intermediate columns, but
owing TO the extra weight our engineer
did not think it practicable. Now you
have all there is to the matter"

SUFFERS FROM APHASIA
A Young Man Who Appears Not
to Know His Own
Name.
His Peculiar Case Is Puzzliug the
Physicians at the Receiving
Hospital.

The physicians at the Receiving Hospital
are puzzled over the case of a young man,
and he is being Kept there for ''observa-
tion," as it is expressed on the register.
Early Yesterday morning Policeman
Jerry Dinan was attracted by the peculiar
actions of well-dressed young man on
Bush street. He seemed to be under the
influence of liquor, and Dinan accosted
him, asking his name. He got no reply,
and further questions met with the same
stubborn silence.
the youtg man was taken to the Ca lifornia-
street station. There he also refused to
answer any questions, and was booked as
John Doe."
Yesterday morning he was taken to the
City Prison. There he also refused to an
swer any questions. When asked his
name he looked in the desk sergeant's face
with broad grin. And so 1t was wit b
other questions.
About 10 o'clock he began to talk to him
self, and another attempt was made to
learn his name. He stopped talking and
looked blanklv at Sergeant Lindheimer,
who several times asked him his name
without eliciting q reply. 1t was de-
cded to send him to the hospital as the
prison officials were afraid that something
had happened TO turn his brain.
II think the young man" said DR.. Bum
nell yesterday, sis suffering from a form
OF aphasia, which in plain language means
a loss of memory. He can speak all right,
but he does not seem to remember any,
thing. 1t is a peculiar case.. No, L don't
think he is simply stubborn, or that he is
suffering from delirium tremens. The
latter supposi:ion may prove the correct
one, but that will soon be developed"
There were no papers in the young
mans pockets which might lead to his
identification. In fact, his pockets were
empty, and the police think it probable
that he had been drugged and robbed and
is still suffering from the effects of the
drug.
He is in a padded cell in the hospital
and keeps continually mum bling to him.
self Unless there is a change in his con-
dition this morning he will likely be taken
before the Insanity commissioners.

The Republican Rally.

Saturday afternoon an interesting
and enthusiastic meeting was held at
Village Hall, commencing at three
o'clock. Many ladies were present.
Col. II. E. Parker, the member of the
State Committee for Orange County,
presided. Prof. Markham, the famous
compaign singer was introduced and
rendered a patriotic selection that
aroused the enteusiasm of his listeners
to the higeest pitch. Major Josiah
Grout, candidate for governor, was then
presented and made most candid and
convincing argument on the money
question:, creating a very favorble i'm
preston upon those who heard him for
the first time. He held the closest at
tentiOn of his auditors for nearly an
hour and at the close of his address
liberal applause was given him. After
Prof. MaXham had responded again
and also to an encore, Hon. Frank
Plumley of Mortified held the audi
ence for nearly an hour by his logic and
The speeches were of that
class that will make votes for the party
of protection and sound money, and all
present seemed well pleased with the

was great success and the effect will
be seen when the votes are counted in
the first Tuesday in September.

The first term of court held in Chelsea

having been held for several previous
years at Newbury.
These exercises are held under the aus
plces OF the Orange County Bar, which at
the last June term appointed a committee

Death of Deacon Sawyer.

Deacon John H. Sawyer died on Fri
day, August IA, after a long and pain
full sickness, from functional disease OF
the heart He had been a patient suf
ferer for many months, and was fully
prepared for the end when it came.
In the death of Deacon Sawyer this
town loses most valuable citizen, q
man of sterling worth and integrity,
and one whose place will never be fill
ed. He was christian man of gentle
and courteous demeanor in his inter
course with his fellow men, but one
who was intieXible in his regard fol-
principle and firm and immovable in
his stand for the right A large mum.
Der of mourning friends and relatives
attended his funeral Sunday last at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Ellis Nc
Duffee. The house was more than
full notwithstanding !. the thunder
shower. !, Rev. H. 7. Barnard and Rev.
F. w. Lewis conducted the religious
services. He was buried in the large
cemetery near the house, by. the side
of his beloved wife, who died more
than two years ago.
John Hiram Sawyer was born Nov.
%, 1918 OH the farm where he, always
made his home, and was the grandson
of Capt. Ezekiel Sawyer, who came
from Rowley, Mass, about the year
1895 and purchased the farm where his
son John and grandson John H. lived.
The subject of our sketch began to
team for the Tyson Furnace Co. in
and later drove an eight horse team
between Bradford and Boston for the
transportation of goods, as that was
before the days of railroads. In 1S47
we find him making out contract to
grade several miles of the Connecticut
and Passumpsic Rivers Railroad, and
later he eXcavated a difficult cut OH
the Concord and Montreal railroad.
Between 1S47 and 1857 he built rail
road in Indiana. Upon his return
home he hired the saw mill then CON
nected with the brick grist mill and
got out timber for the Cheshire rail
road and continued in the lumber busi-
ness for some time. In 1850 he mar
ried Sarah, daughter of Major Hib-
bard of Piermont, n. H., whose farm
lay directly opposite that of Mr.. Saw
yer. 1t required but little shrewdness
on the part of the neighbors to guess
why Johns canoe found its way across
the placid river so often in the shades
of Sunday evening. They had no
children. Mr.. Sawyer united with the
Congregational church May ), 1867,
while Rev. j. X. Williams was pastor.
and was elected deacon November 10,
1871.
He cast his first presidential vote for
Gen. VIM. III. Harrison in 1910, and
when the Wing party ceased to exist
he became-a republican and was an ar
dent patriot during the war of the Re
bellion. He was highly respected dur
ing his life and will be deeply mourned
in his death.
