Died at His Post.

Matthew Donzelot is still remembered
in Paris as one of the most faithful and
courageous men who ever served paper
as a reporter. His last assignment and
what came of it is told by Nj. Trimm in

One day riot was apprehended, and
Donzelot was sent to the Pantheon to re-

stones were flying, and the lawless mob
had begun to tear up the streets and bar

One of Donzelots friends saw him as
he was running by, and said to him:
"What are you doing herep Run and save

Donzelot made no reply, and again his
friend urged him to leave so dangerous a
spot.

"but as you are going, kindly take this

How American Visitors Saw Tennyson.

Mr.. V. G.. Scott O'Connor contributes
to the Century an article on Mrs. Cam
eron, Her Friends and Her Photographs. ."
The following new anecdote of the late
laureate is told:
Mrs. Cameron's house at Freshwater,
the rendezvous of many distinguished men
and women, was in some sort the refuge
of many whose hearts desire it was to
know Tennyson. No one she could help
was ever turned away; none willingly
would she have left "out of the feast OF
life." With Tennyson she was on terms OF
friendly intimacy being in her relation
ship with him, as in all other matters, a
law unto herself She could and did say
anything to him, though always within
the limits set by high bred feeling and a
heart that was never at fault. One day
some American acquaintance of hers, Wis
itors at Freshwater, went up to Earring
ford in the expectation of seeing Tenny-
son, but soon after they returned to
Dimbola with rueful tale of disappoint-
ment. "Oh, he won't see your" she said.
"Come with me!' And thereupon, hastily
throwing on her shawl, she took them
straightway to Farringford, entered the
open hall door and marched them into the
drawing room, where Mr.. Tennyson and
his wife were seated. ALFRED" she said,
"these strangers come from a lar country
to see the lion of Freshwater, and'-wav
ing her hand-'behold, bear!"
Tennyson, ever gentle with his friends,
caught her direct humor and broke into 6
hearty laugh, receiving his visitors in the
kindliest manner.

GUNS. RAMS AND TORPEDoES.
Some Debstable Matters In the Methods
Of Modern Marine Warfare.

of Modern Marine Warfare.
We know that the bigger the gun the
less likely it is to hit the target, but,
again, our data only suggest that the best
possible lies in mean-a mean that Is
left to individual Judgment. A year ago
the 12 inch gun embodied this mean. AL
ready the French have discarded 1T for
heavier weapon, and we may look to see
other nations following suit.
The ram, tested by results, has proved
itself more likely to be fatal by accident
than by design. From an absolute belief
in it, opinion gradually changed till 1T was
spoken of as an impossible weapon, and
the French, previously so partial to enor-
nous spurs, SO far discarded their old
ideals as to build their battleship Brehnus
without any ram at all. Yet, at the same
time, the United States were busy over
the Katahdin, "ram" pure and simple

much exceeding quarter of a mile. At
that distance the big gun can hardly miss,
and it's devastation would be quite as ap-

Crossed the equator. In the distance it
looked like blue ribbon stretched across
the ocean. Several passengers kodaked it.
We had no fool ceremonies, no fantasies
no horseplay. All that sort of thing has
gone out. In old times a 81 Tor dressed as
Neptune used to come in over the bows
with his suit and lather up and shave ev-
erybody who was crossing the equator for
the first time, and then cleanse these I'M
fortunates by swinging them from the
yardarm and ducking them three times in

Alan Told where the Money Was

II has been known for some time that
willard Foster, one OF the three men who
- ;mnlicated in the Calumet postoffice
.ohherv. had made a confession, but as
.be LAWYERS and others interested.in the
ease thought it better to suppress the
storv of the confession until the time OF
rial il has never been published. AS the
,oots If the confession have in some man.
nor leaked out we here give synopsis OF
The robbery as given by Foster:
Foster, in company with. Manning and
Carlson alias Woods, arrived in Calumet
two days before the night OF the robbery
which was on Friday. The men took
their meals at the Michigan House on
Portland street and camped at the old
target range back OF the the Tamarack
location. After looking over the field
the men decided the postoffice would be
the easiest place to perform a robbery
successfully so they spent the two even
ipgs previous to the robbery in keeping
tab on the nIghtwatchman. The men
TINS knew at what time the coast would
he clear to commence operations, an at
o'clock Saturday morning the men en-
tered the postoffice through a side win
dow. After breaking the dial OF the safe,
soap and nitro-glycerine were inserted
and discharged, the only noise being
made by the explosion OF the cap.
After securing their booty they started
on foot for Hancock and arrived at the
Boston about daylight, where they struck
through the woods and came on Por-
tage Lake near the power works. Here
3they divided the plumber and buried a
lot of postage stamps. On returning
here they could not find the boat which
they had left ready for use, 80 Man.
ming and " GODS started out to look for
it, but as they failed to return, Foster
determined he had been shaken by the
! other two and started for his homestead
back OF Ontonagon which he eventually
reached. Woods and Manning proceeded
to Chassell where they took the train fol
Ontonagon. When Foster met them
there some ill-feeling arose between the
men, Foster thinking the. pair had not
treated him fairly and that the $3.50 hi
had received was not enough. At On
tonagon Foster informed the officials o
the Sis that was hidden in the Porcu
pine Mountains. This money was re
covered about FIVE weeks ago. Oh TIT
balance OF Fosters share $50 was sent
to his wife at Cleveland and similar
amount was paid to the attorney who
had charge of the case at the examina
ton before United States COMMISSIONS
Finn.
Fosters confession may not be to hi
advantage as he thinks it, for the cas-
against the men was clearly established
at the examination.

The Glass Was Crooked, but Clearer.

The Glass Was Crooked, but clearer.
1.-The glazier of 30 years ago, says
Maine man of experience in the business,
worked differently from what we do to-.
day. Glass was very costly then compared
with present prices, and much of 1t was SO
warped and crooked 1t would be curios-
ity in these times. Owing to the cost, we
had to be very careful In setting 1t, ana
the glazier of that day had to be WOOD
carver as we'll as a man OF putty. Inc
warped panes would be laid into the sash
and their shape 'scribed' on the WOOD I'M
derneath. This was then cut away, so as
20 make the glass fit into place. Now
adays the glass is tolerably true and De-
sides is so cheap that we never STAND LOT a
at. 1t is sprung into its place, and II IL
breaks it is thrown aside. The old crooked
glass was, some of it, of superior quality.
This was known as Boston crown glass,
or Berkshire crystal. 1t was clearer ana
more brilliant than most modern glass.
Only the better quality houses had this
kind, but there are still many old resi-
dences throughout Maine In which IT may
be found. "-Lewiston Journal.
