WIDOWS OF SOLDIERS.

''Seven widows are still drawing pen.
sionS rs the widows of men who saw ac
tive service in the war of the Revolutions;
women whose husbands served under
Washington more than Il hundred and
twenty years ago writes Clifford How
ard in the February Ladies' Home
Journal. The eldest of these surviving
widows of the Revolution is living mt Los
Angeles, California. She is Mrs. Loyey
Aldrich, now in the 9Sth year of her age
Her husband was Private Caleb Aldrich,
who was born III the year 1853, and served
as IL soldier boy in the New England cam
paigns of the war Mrs Nancy Jones,
of ,Jonesborough, Tennessee, whose hus-
band was Darling Jones, asprivatc in one
of the North Carolina regiments, is the
youngest OF the Revolutionary widows,
being now about 50 years OF age. The
other five are Nancy Cloud, who is living
at Chum, Virginia, and is the widow of
Sergeant William Cloud, of Captain
Christians Virginia line; Esther s. Da-
mon, of Plymouth Union, Vermont,
whose husband was Private Noah Damon,
of Massachusetts; Mary Snead, living at
Parksley, Virginia, widow of Private
Bowdoin Sncad; Nancy a. Weatherman,
who lives at Elk Mills, Tennessee, ard
whose first husband was Robert Glascock,
fifer in one of the Virginia regiments,
and Retecca Mayo, living at Newbern,
Virginia, widow of Stephen Mayo, II sol
der from Virginia. That these women
can be widows of Revolutionary soldiers
is readily understood in view of the fact
that their husbands were well on IN years
when they married. AS, for example,
when Esther Sumner married Noah Da.
mon in the year lS35--52 years after the
close of the war-shc was buc y while
lie was i6. The last Revolutionary widow
pensioncr who had married prior to the
close of the war, and had thereto ore actu'
ally lived during Revolutionary times,
was Nancy Serena, widow of Daniel +.
Bakeman. She died about twenty seven
years ago, only Il year or two after her
husband, who WAS the last of the Revolu-
tionary soldiers on the pension roll.

 TAKERS" IN LYME PONDS.
These Trout Will Grow to Large

Size
 Middletown, Nov. 15.-Fish Commits soner James A. Bill of Lyme put into Rogers Lake and Hog Lake in that town last Saturday about 10000 lake trout averaging about five inches in length.
 The fish, which are called finger lings" to distinguish them from fish of larger or smaller size, were obtained from the United States government. When Mr. Bill arrived at the lakes the fish were very strong and active, and when liberated immediately took to deep water. These lakes are believed to be particularly well adapted to the propagation of these fish and the eXper- iment is expected to produce good re- suits. These fish are a species of trout common in the Maine lakes where they are commonly known as Takers" The water in Rogers Lake is in some places sixty feet deep, and the sandy shores make natural spawning ground. The trout are sufficiently large to take care of themselves and this insures better results than could be expected if the lakes were stocked with small fry.

POli,s Wonderland Theater.

Toii VI onueFlanu lneaters
 The veriscope pictures of the Corbett- Fitzsimmons contest created tremen- dous sensation at Poli's Wonderland theater yesterday. Immense audiences were in attendance both afternoon and evening, and hundreds were turned away It was in anticipation of the immense week, however, and in order that all might be given an opportunity to see the exhibition that Manager Poli arranged for four exhibitions every day, in the afternoon at 2:10 and 4:3O and 7:45 and 9:45 in the evening. The doors are to be opened at 1:15 and 6:45 in order that the house may be filled before the first exhibitions are given. The pictures themselves proved to be quite as thrillingly vivid and interest," ing as promised; every motion of the contestants, and every incident of the contest, are shown as distinctly as though the observer were at the ring side. And, what has been found in other cities, the ladies enjoy the mar velous spectacle quite as much as the men. The regular vaudeville bill that is given in addition is excellent, being contributed by such fine artists as Reno and Richards, MT. Grant and Miss Norton, Jones, Grant and Jones and Miss Alice Linton. Prices remain the same 10 and 20 cents, and ladies in the afternoon, 10 cents.
