THRO' THE ROCKIES.
Extract From Letter of E. E. Bartram

Extract From Letter of E. E. Bartram
 Sent From Vancouver, B. C., Sept.
 Huh, 1898
 'On Thursday night. Sept. 8th, we passed through the last of the prairie ride, and at day break entered the Rocky Mountains. I was awake and dressed by five o'clock to catch the first glim pse of the mountains, and it was grand sight. All day long we rode with the snow.capped peaks above us and the canons below, the train winding and twisting it's way in and out as it made it's way up the heavy grades of the noun tains. The observation car was put on in the early morning, and spent near ly the whole day in it, as I could get a better view from it than from our car It was one of the grandest scenes that l have ever witnessed, ,aud it is impossible for me to try and describe it and do it justice. The day was full of grand views and surprises. and far. exceeds any idea that one gets from reading of the noun tains.
 At noon the train made a stop of one- half hour for dinner at place called Glacier, which is at nearly the summit of the mountains. The railroad com pany has an eating house, where good dinner was had. At this place, away up on the mountains in full view, is one of the large glaciers, and the air here IS very pure and clear. and the sight of the vast mass of snow and ice high above us, and the warm sun and the flowers and green of the valleys below makes a scene one can never forget.
 At about two o'clock p. m. we began the descent of the mountains. which was as full of grand views as the morning had been, and although very tired when night came. I was sorry that it came so soon.
 During the night we have left the mountains ploper behind us, and are now riding along the Frazier River. The observation car is on again this morning. and the views along are grand, but today there is dense smoke which hides many of the peaks from view. We expect to arrive at Vancouver at one o'clock. and my fellow travellers are get ting ready to leave the car.
 I have just learned that the smoke is oaused by the burning of the city New Westminster. B. O, city only nine miles from Vancouver and which has a population of 5000. Nearly all the business portion of the oity is destroyed.

'1 can't see how any family lives without Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoes Remedy" says J. R. va. Ala, in letter enquiring the price H dozen bottles, that he might not only have it for use in his own family, but supply it to his neighbors. The reason some people get along without it. is because they do do not know it's value, and what vast amount of suf- fering it will save. Wherever it be- comes known and used it is recognized as a necessity. for it is the only remedy that can always be depended upon for bowel complaints, both for children and adults. For sale by W. H.

William. Coming Home.

Tho family of Hubert Williams of Lakeville received letter from that gentleman last week stating that he was ill near Savannah, Ga. The letter also conveyed the impression that MT Will Hams was not in his right mind. Imme- diately W. B. Perry of Lakeville in company with Lawyer W. B. Smith of Winsted left for Savannah and arrived there Monday night. They easily loca- ted the missing man. who was not physically ill. but had no recollection of his doings for the past two weeks. He was willing to return home, aud the family at Lakeville expect his arrival with Mir Perry to-day or tomorrow.

Louisville won six out of fourteen. and no other club beside the two mentioned won more than five games from Boston during the season. New York won four from Boston and lost ten to the champions.

 games played.

Practical, but Cold Flooded.

have friend here in town, a young business woman, whose common sense is enough to make one's blood run. cold at times. I went to see her new fiat few days ago, and l was delight ed with cushioned divan in one corner of her sitting room. It was, as many divans that belong to young busi- ness women are, a box with hinged lid, but as it had handles on it and was bound with iron bands and was alto gether so much stronger and more de- sirahle than divan boxes usually are. I asked her where she bought it.
 "I didn't buy 1t, ;" said she. "It was given to me. You know the woman where I boarded last year came into a lot of money through the death of her grandfather. The old gentleman died in Florida, and the remains were sent here. They were in mahogany coffin, and the coffin-well''-and she kicked the divan with her heels-"the coffin was in this. didn't see any reason for let ting the box go to waste, and it makes . lovely couch. Don't you think so?'
 And of course 1t does, but then-after all, it's we'll to be practical like that Washington Post.

DEATH OF MISS KELLOGG.

Miss Emeline Kellogg, aged 78 years, died at No. AT Centre street in Wlnsted on Monday afternoon at 4.25 o'clock. Miss Kellogg was afflicted with con- sumption and had been confined to her room since the first of last August. Her death had been expected at any time during the past two weeks. Her funeral and burial will be attended to-day (Thursday The service in Winsted will consist of prayer at her late resi- dence about 9 a. m. and the body will be brought to Canaan on the train ar- irving here at 10 .24 a. m. Funeral ser vices. conducted by Revs o. W. Hanna and s. A. Burnaby. will be held in the Pilgrim Church at p. m. Interment at lower cemetery.
 Emeline Kellogg was born Feb. 2, 1920, in the Farren house immediately north of the Captain Miner place, so called, on the sand road between Ca- naan and Falls Village. The old house was the parsonage for the old Congrega- tional church which stood near it, but both buildings were taken down many years ago. Miss Kellogg was the daughter of the late Whiting Gaylord Kellogg and Fanny Dean Kellogg. She lived with her parents on "the plain" until 1856 or 1857 whom all moved to South Canaan where her parents spent their remaining years and where Miss Kellogg continued to reside until June 1876 when she moved to Falls Village with her brother, the lste W. G. Kel- logg. Miss Kellogg resided at Fails Village until 1891 when she went to Winsted to live with her brother Asahel whose wife had died suddenly of heart disease leaving him entirely alone in his home. Asahel died in 1895 but Miss Kellogg has continued to reside in Win sted with the exception of the winter and SD ring of 1857 which she spent in Waterbury.
 Miss Kellogg had been member of the Congregational Church at South Canaan for many years. She was a genuine Christian. and lived her relig- | ion; not 8 religion of vain words but 8 religion of unfaltering faith and good works. The fragrance of her gentle, unassuming life was an inspiration to all who knew her, and they will cherish her memory. Emeline Kellogg will be missed, but pen cannot describe how much she will be missed by Miss Abbie T. Kellogg who has long been her con- stant con npsnion and been her devoted nurse during her declining years.
 Miss Kellogg is survived by her hail sister. Mrs Harvey Kellogg of Toledo. Ohio, and by several cousins.

It is no longer considered correct for society girls to kiss each other when they meet. Men have always voted such a meeting to be idiotic. and even girls themselves have been known to acknowledge that the kisses exchanged were insipid in the extreme. When two friends meet nowadays there is a murmur of greeting from each, a gentle clasp of the hands, sn inclination of the head and shoulders forward and mom- ent's contact between two downy cheeks. The new sslutation comes di- rect from Paris, and is strictly good form.

Were Ready to Fight.

1t was reported in different sections
that the Eastern Panhandle was not
patriotic enough to furnish the neces-
sary men to fill up their companies.
which is an injustice to this section.
Captain Moore asked for men from
this city and county and we give be-
low the names of those volunteering.
Captain Moore afterward sent word
that they were not needed as he was
compelled to accept men from Sisters
vile and that neighborhood, thus
freezing out our patriots. Company
+, of this city, was one of the compa-
MES which drew numbers emitting
them to membership in the First
Regiment and the Captain should
have insisted on using those recruited
for his company from our neighbor-
hood. 1t may be possible in the
course of events that an election of
officers will be necessary and the men
from the western part of the State
may have the power of saying who
they shall oe. Perhaps that was the
whyfore of their being taken.
