his early youth, and being a licensed
auctioneer, has gathered about him a
collection of old objects which cannot
be duplicated in Worcester county, and
certain rooms in the old Griffin home
stead groan with many articles over a
century in age.
One Of the most remarkable Of Mr..
Griffins possessions is an old lantern,
which antedates the beginning of the
present century by nearly hundred
years This lantern, by request of many
friends, has been placed on exhibition
in G. X Mellor's pharmacy at Worces-
ter and is occupying much attention.
The above cut gives a fair idea Of how
this ancient relic appears.
The lantern is known to be nearly 200
years old, and was an heirloom of the
old Miller family in Westminster for
many generations. 1t was finally ae,
quired by the family of George w,
Whitney of Princeton, where it re-
mained for several years, and some-
thing like a year ago was secured by
its present owner. Mr.. Griffin values
this old relic very highly, One of this
gentleman's greatest delights is riding
in an old chaise, wooden axle affair,
which was built in 1881, and is now in
a good state Of preservation.

sHooTING THE RAPIDS.

Perhaps the most interesting Of the se-
ries of photographs of the Klondike coun-
try and Alaska that is now being offered
to the readers Of the Spy are those pic
turing the various rapids lying between
Lake I4inderman. where. the overland
water route begins, and Dawson City,
where 1t ends.
A personal interview with the chief OF
the Photographic expedition sent to the
Klondike country last summer by syndi-
of photographs referred to, brings out
some interesting details. In discussing his
trip through the White Horse rapids, he
says: This river Is about mile and a
half wide. When it gets to the place
shown in the picture, which Is quite mar
force. 1t throws spray over to the centre
of the stream from both sides, and gives
one the impression of drove of white
horses daghing over a precipice, those in
the rear leaping over those that seem n
fall in front. 1t is from this that the
rapids take their name of White Horse
Other views Of rapids shown in the Sc
ries OF photographs are fully as interest
ing as the one here described. The pho
tographers Of the expedition have been
most fortunate in securing these and other
views of the northwest wonderland under
propitious circumstances. Pictures en-
route, of miners in camp, watercraft
plowing the lakes and daring the rapids,
have ali come before the focus of the ca
waiting world, that they may see mir
rored the beauties, the dangers, the
strangeness and grandeur OF that vast and
almost unknown part of North America.
The photographs are now being offered
Spy readers in portfolio form at a nominal
cost of 10 cents each. Six parts will COM
plete the series. each part containing q
full page photographs.

PROTEST ENTERED.
Lancaster People Appear at Bos-
ton on Clinton Sewage.
object to Present Plans as a Menace TO
Public Health The Town
Full Case.

Lancaster, March 22.--About twelve Of
hearing in Boston today upon the bill
now in the hands of the committee on
drainage, concerning the disposal of
Clintons sewage. This bill authorizes
the town of Clinton to take land in the
town of Lancaster situated between the
road from Lancaster centre to Bolton,
and what is called the old turnpike or
seven bridge road, east of the Nashua
river.
This comprises a strip of interval land
extending from "the meeting OF the wa
ters," down the winding Nashua, past
the great elnl-the largest elm tree in
New England-and includes the site Of
the old road from Lancaster to Groton
taking about a mile and half of land
along the prettiest part of the river in
Lancaster
The people of Lancaster are highly in
dignant at the prospect of Clinton being
allowed to take this land for the pur-
pose of locating its new sewage system
and they are straining every effort to
prevent it,
La>as aster claims that Clinton has
paid more attention to land in Lancaster
since it has been located as a site for its
sewage than it has to lands in its own
town, where they claim there is land
fully as suitable as the place they are
asking for in Lancaster. To prove this
claim, Lancaster has employed expert
engineers to examine certain locations
in Clinton, and they report that with
the extra cost of pumping to higher
ground Clinton could dispose of her
sewage in her own town upon much bet
ter land than that for which she asks at
present Furthermore, they claim that
with their sewage system in their own
town there will be more natural induce
ments for them to properly care for it
than there would be if it We're out Of
their way entirely, and simply troubling
Lancaster people.
Lancaster people claim that what is
known as "the railroad lot" an unoccu-
pied piece Of land north of Clinton, is as
suitable as any that has been suggested
in Lancaster, and today testified to that
effect before the committee.
Since Lancaster has urged her obiec-
tions to the location asked for in the
bill so strongly, Clinton has turned her
attention to another lot which it was
stated today the state board of health
favored.
This lot is situated east OF High street
extension and north of Mill street near
the line between Lancaster and Clinton.
ana Is known as the cemetery lot" as
1t adjoins the new Catholic cemetery.
Lancaster people are not so strongly
opposed to this site, as it is farther from
the thlckly settled portion of the town.
and nearer to Clinton; still they insist
that Clinton should care for irs sewage
in its own territory.
Herbert Parker conducted Lancaster's 8
case at the hearing today, and submit
ted Clinton's argument to rigid cross
examination. John w Corcoran looked
