HuntOOn.

MISS MARY HUNTooN, whose sudden
death from apoplexy occurred at the resi-
dence of her sister, Mrs. Chloe Batchelder,
in Plainfield, on June 30tb, was one OF those
whose useful and blameless lives illumine
many q1iet nook, and encourage those
who are ready to despair Of their race to
think more hopefully of humanity. Pro-
foundly conscientious, she earnestly sought
the welfare of others, and delighted in pro-
noting their happiness. By conviction a
Universalist, (Which she attested by be-
quest in her willy her sympathies were
not limited to her sect, for Christianity
was more than dogma to her; and her long
sustained interest in the cause Of temper
ance illustrated the practical character OF
her religion. Music was one Of her chief
delights, and "Home, Sweet Home !" was
her swan-song. The de ath stroke came al
most before its tones had ceased to rever-
berate through the house. Her funeral was
held in the Congregational church, its pas
tor, Rev. E. o. Grisbrook, and Rev. l.. F.
Fortney assisting Rev j. E. Wright in the
services. j. E. W.

A SPLENDID FREE sHow.-The united
street parades of the great Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers shows. The two per-
formances Of the above named enormous
consolidated shows at Montpelier, on Thurs
day, Aug. 26, and will be preceded by a
morning parade of unprecedented magni-
tude and attractiveness, which it will cost
nothing to see, and which no one with an
eye for spectacular splendors, pompous dis.
plays and holiday sensations should miss.
The single parade Of either of the big shows
represented has heretofore been classed as
a wonder OF wealth and magnitude in its
way, and now that the two are consolidated
and many new, striking and elegant features
added, the result must be an overwhelming
arenic highway demonstration. The three
grandest herds of elephants, Cleopatra's
gorgeous barge OF state, whole menagerie
of rare wild beasts in open and performing
dens, many led animals from distant climes,
hundred ornate and pictured chariots,
cages, Mother Goose golden illustrations
and Arabian Nights equipages; hundreds
OF the most beautiful horses, ponies and
armored and Orientally appareled partici-
pants, are among the brilliant sights which
will richly reward the sightseeing pilgrims.
And low excursion rates will afford all
cheap opportunity to take them all in, as
well as Americas Greatest Shows Consol-
idated.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 16-Impregnabl bic
Esqulma ait, the Gibraltar OF the Pacific,
where the British warsh.ps lie in wait
ready to pounce out north, south or west,
is soon 10 re eceive an addition 10 her feet
that will make the North P4cific station q
most important part OF the British naval
system. For years, as every Well posted
resident of this country is aware, the
British have been necessarily at WORK
making a citadel on the North Pacific so
near TO tie United States line that the big
guns could almost exchange courtesies
across the straits. Heretofore. however,
the British Admiralty mas contenIed it.
self with placing at Eeqaimalt one first
class cruiser, ana a number of second,
third, or even fourth c.ass vessels-gun-
boats and dispatch vessels. The emer-
gencies deemed possible 10 arise in the
northern waters called for nothing more
formid able.
But change has come. and speculation
will be rife as to the cause. Instead of
one trsi-class cruiser, the British Govern
ment has oIdereI two more to that sta
ton, max ng ihree vessels of the first class,
two of them equal TO our Olympia and
superior 10 the Phil adeiphia or Baltimore
class OF cruisers. The third, the flagship
Imperieuse, is superior TO the olympia
and almost up 10 the ColGm bia or New
York.
Officers of the British gunb boat Wild
Swan have given ONE information on
this subject, though they decline to dis
cuss the most interesting phase OF it
why the British Government finds the
North Pacific more important than here
toiore. The w Id Swan is now in port, on
ner way 10 Plymouth 10 go out OF COM
mission. Sns is an old woo len gunboat
carrying loo men. She is o be replaced
by the Phae,o on. cruiser OF 64O0 ions, ca

Accompanying the Phaeton is the cruiser

Amphion, so ordered 10 join Admiral
PallIser's hdgshlp al E,quimali. The

TWO Of the swlftesI torpedC-desIroyers OF

the first of their kind TO be sent N o this
part of the Pacific. Tney are the Spar

OF thirty men. They are said by the Off
GERS of the Will Swan to be ty pes of the
most modern ideas as TO engines, m odel
and guns designed for tffecuve work In
either deep-sea or alongshore work.
These desiroyers are hot, however, de-
signed for long cruises, ana must be in
comm un ication with a cOaling station or
coal tran-ports. For this reason they are
com PEELED to call a several ports Oh the
way to Eequimat. They will touch at
Callao and Acapulco before reaching San
Diego, and may cal at San Francisco.
