House, which stands on the same spot

tive tavern. She is perhaps GO years
old. though her silvery hair and cal re.
worn expression gave the impression
OF 40. On the register she inscribed: :
Mrs. Annie Welland. Northampton,
Mass" While curiously enough the
old mill sign is plain: Annie WeIIand
Mills" Mrs. Welland tells her story
this way:
Just after the close of the war,
while living in Boston, / met and was
married to Frank Welland, a Lleuten-
ant in the Federal army. His home
was at Northampton, where we at
once moved. He had been wounded
during the war. and had Just recovered
after long attack Of brain fever. He
was heir to large fortune. a portion
of which he insisted upon making over
to me. The rest he converted into gov
ernment bonds and carried In a large
cane made for that purpose. We had
lived together but few months when
Frank was again afflicted with brain
trouble. One of his hallucinations was
that he had charge Of a large mill
which he must run without help. One
day he disappeared and though have
spent thousands Of dollars and travel
cd all over the country, I could flnd no
trace Of him. In June of this year I
came to the Tennessee centennial,
While In machinery hall one day

and they told me the story Of its build

Frank King are one and the same.

never know. l shall not do anything
with the mill. He must have named 1t
from the memory of his love for me.
and it shall stand as he left 1t until
time or accident has worked its de-
struction.'
Mrs. Welland has gone home, after
ordering a monument placed at the
head of her husbands grave. Mean-
while. the old mill stands bleak and
bare, its timbers falling away, its doors
and windows gone, a habitatiOn for

when the mill would start. Everything
was in readiness with the exception
Of engaging help and obtaining pro-
duct to grind. Men had asked King
for work and had been told that he had
sufficient help. One venturesOme far
mer offered to sell him wheat, and was
told that none was required.
1t was three days before Christmas,
1857. that King moved into his mill.
He barred the doors and until New
Years eve was not seen or heard. At
just II o'clock New Years the town
was startled by prolonged whistling
from the mill. Running to the scene
the astonished natives saw great vol
unes of smoke pouring from the Chin
neys and heard the rumble of machin-
cry, although not n light appeared. The
great mass of machinery continued to
run until morning. This was repeated
every night for a week, and still no
door was opened.
Then one night all was quiet. The
next day Squire Jim" got together a
crowd of men and broke down the
door of the mill. In the engine room
they found the lifeless body of poor
King, twisted around the piston. torn

The way to Branksome. when the dan

roads into Mcreside was passed, was level
and good, and they reached the little town
before the last glow of the sunset had
faded behind the hills. They took turn

tacks a Simiau at n Paris Museum.
So far as the members Of the French
Academy Of Medicine have been able
to ascertain, Cynocephalus Is the first
monkey that ever had the measles.
Zanzibar was his birthplace. He was
brought to Madagascar, where he was
sold to a superior officer In the French
army. AS a companion for him, the
officer brought another monkey, a
vagabond, who had no name, and
whose birthplace was unknown. The
weather being cold, the pets were
placed in a warm house. P, pri-
vate In the ZOuaves, who was serving
the officer, attended to their wants, and
often frolicked with them. One day
P went to the doctor. complaining
of an eruption on his body. The doc
tor saw at once that he had measles
and hurried him Off to bed.
X, another soldier, was put In
charge Of the officers garden and mon
keys. -Four days later he noticed that
Cynocephalus kept to the corner of his
cage and refused to eat. The same
doctor who treated the zouaye was
called In. An examination showed an
eruption on CynOcephalus' body and
all the other symptoms Of measles.
The same treatment was given to him
as to the zouave.
The other monkey was in no wise
afflicted To begin with, 1t Is reported

FIGHTING AT ANNAPOLIS.

It is not known that the authorities
of the Naval Academy at Annapolis
encourage fighting. There is nothing
in the published rules urging the cadets
to follow the advice of dead Sam Ran
dali. and "get together as often as
possible" But it is certain that they do
not discourage it. There are tales
among the embryo admirals, handed
down from class to class, of how the
preceptors have stood afar and watch
ed the battles through spy-glasses,
grunting at each well-delivered blow
and betting gleefully among them
selves on the results. The consequence
of this laxity is that the younger ca
dets-those in their first year-come in
a little while to believe that the pow
ers are very friendly to a fighter and
would offer active encouragement to
combats if it were necessary-Wh1ch 1t
isn't. This state of affairs may not
conduce to study, but it does conduce
to the development of muscle and the
fattening of the fighting instinct. Not
long ago a cadet took leg leave OF the
academy and wandered into Baltimore,
where he spliced a multiplicity OF
main braces. AS a result he first whip
ped a cab driver, then whipped two po-
licemen who had walked up in time to
see the end of the fray. He got back
to the grounds badly battered, but
standing up we'll under the canvas.
The affair made some noise and per-

The Governors appointments to the
Commission of fifteen for revising the
Constitution of the State are probably
generally satisfactory. There is ability of
high order In the membership and an
acquaintance with the history and
traditions OF the State as well as
thorough touch with the demands

every political element TO be found
today. The law rightly predominates
I'm the professions represented by the
board and the distinguished jurist whose
name heads the list is surely one of the
most eminent and best beloved of living
Rhode Islanders than whom none other
could have been so fitly chosen. Judge
Stiness, U. S. C. District Attorney Cor
man, Judge Blodgett Mayor McGuinness,

and moro or less intimate association

movements that have eliminated i'm the

not only business man Of distinction,
but an attorney ms well, whose experience
at the bar and as chief prosecuting officer
of the State have peculiarly qualified him
and he will doubtless be most valued
member Of the board. In much the same
way Senator Freeman combines business
training with n long legislative career and
he is a recognized authority on Constitu-
