Iezem Bovey and Thomas F. Lynch
contributed S. each to the village treasury
Monday. They also paid S45l each to
cover the cost of prosecution for disturb
inc the public peace. Lynch attended the
show at the Auditorium Saturday night,
after which he visited the Elliot street fish
market. Upon leaving the latter place
with several friends he saw two men stand
ing near the bank corner and he set out to
determine their identity. One OF them
was Bovey and in Il few minutes the two
men became involved in an alteration
which resulted in the exchange of several
blows of their fists.
Cbief.of. Police Hall and Policeman
Worden. who were standing near the en-
CINE house. heard the disturbance and they
went to the scene just as the men fell.
The fighters were arrested but as 1t was
cold in the lookup they were allowed TO 60
home after agreeing to appear before
Judge Newton Monday morning. In court
Lynch pleaded guilty to disturbing the
peace but said that Bovey struck the first
blow. He said that he had recently re-
turned to Bra,tleboro, having served term
of enlistment on the battle ship Texas in
the United States navy, and that he had
never been in trouble before. His tne and
costs amounted to SOL. Lynch Is a
Young man who has had good reputation,
and it is to be regretted that he was III
volved in an ARRAY of this kind. Bovey
pleaded not guilty but retracted his plea
when made to realize that otherwise ms
fine would probably be much larger Ills
fine, which was also SOL, was paid 10y

prised when confronted by Policeman
Thaver but he confessed to Judge Newton
and was fined S2O57 He said he was un-
able to pay the fine on such short notice
but that he could get it of his fellow work

RuriaI Of IL. Knriz.

Not drum was heard, not funeral note,
AS his corpse 10 the ooneyard was carted
Nobody cared for him after the vote,
For his usefulue ss the 70 had departed,
They burleo his carcass At dead of night,
] ne sod with coal shovel turning
The grave diggers even got SICK at the sight,
And kept old rags and things burning.
Naught In the form of prayer was said,
Not word OF sorrow was spoken:
The hole had BET dug and they dumped in the
dead
Whose political neck had been broken.
o. Myers may sigh for the spirit that's gone
And so may the m N that made him
But little nell reck, for hell have 10 sleep on
In the grave where McLean's gang has laid
him.
Quickly and gladly they threw him down.
With his body all Shiny add CORY,
In week he arose TO sort Of renown-
And the same week ended his story.
-Cleueidnd Leader.

Author of Alice in wonderland Dead

Charles Lutwide Dodgson, 6G, clergy
man, mathematician and fairy tale writer,
who died IN England Friday, wrote two of
the finest fairy tales in English literature.
The beautiful inconsequence of AlIce's
wanderings IN such a wondeT-world as was
never before invaded and exploited, was
enchanting TO all readers IN whom even so
slight a matter as fancy dwelt and 10
those who possessed Imagination it was
magical indeed. 1t would require large
survey OF these journeys in Wonderland
and Through the Looking Glass to eX-
hibit the secret of the fascination but it
may be said to rest in delicious fantasy
on which wit and humor without serious
ness-a rare conjunction-are budding like
flowers on furze. An unaoyed graft
tude belongs to this serious clergyman,
who, amid his mathematical work, con-
ceived these delightful adventures. Alice,
the heroine thereof, is strangely enough
very vital personality, and one grows at.
taChed to her, and finds her quite as real
as any heroine ever was, and much more
so than many actual children ever will be.
Then one must not forget The Hunting
OF the Shark Some have said that this
is covert satire on public affairs and men
OF England, but of that We care to know
nothing. The Shark, especially in his
character Of Boojum, is well known to all
who have lived few days beyond the first
flush OF youth, and the several personages
OF the epic, from the Bellman to the
Badger, are familiar characters in expe.
Renee. The Alice books and the "Snark
have gone through many editions. Mr..
Dodgson wrote many other works which
have not become so generally known.

Death OF the Author of the ShRkspere
Concordance.

Mrs. Mary Victoria Clarke, who died
few days ago, was of the elder generation,
10 which Lamb, Leigh Hunt, Coleridge.
Barton, Proctor, Shelley and Keats be-
longed, and she knew them all. She and
her husband, Charles Cowden Clarke, were
intimate with these men and with their
wives, daughters and sisters with Mary
Lamb, Dorothy Wordsworth, Sara Cole
ridge, Adelaide Proctor, Mary Wollstou,
craft, and so many others of their day.
She takes us back TO the early Years Of the
century, when Scott was writing and be-
fore Iennyson was known. Her life is
tull OF "reminiscences of that day, and her
book of recollections is a treasure of agree
able memories, for Mrs. Clarke was one
who followed the motto OF the sun dial.
She numbered only the pleasant hours. Her
concordance to SHAKESPEARE is her most i'm
portant work, and it has been exceeded in
later days, but she was II years in making
It, and II was a labor OF love. In the
course of this she wrote her "Girlhood of
Shakspere's Heroines.' She was the
daughter of Vincent Novello, a composer
and musician, and her sister Clara was a
noted soprano in London. She married
Charles Cowden Clarke, in 1928, when she
was - years old they had no children,
but lived life of rare unity and affection
for 40 years, for Mr. Clarke died in 1877;
both OF them were constantly employed in
literary labors, and in touch with the best
people of their craft all their days. Some
OF the works which the couple undertook
together, such as The Shakspere Key"
and the "RecollectiOns of Writer'S" were
published after Mr.. Clarke's death. Both
lived in Italy for long time before Mr.
Clarke died, and near Genoa Mrs. Clarke
passed all her later days in the Villa Novel
10, favorite resort of English and Ameri-
cans of literary bent, She was a lovely
and beloved woman, and her death re-
moves us farther from the days of Lamb
and Keats and Wordsworth.

The Japanese cruiser which is to be
launched at Cramps shipyard on the 10th
will not be christened with a bottle of
wine, as is customary in this country, but
with flowers and the release of doves. The
latter is a much more impressive and pict-
uTesque ceremony than the former. and
meets the objections of those people who
deprecate the use of wine Oh principle. 1t
seems to be a sensible innovation.

VIRGINIA WILD LANDS.

It is not generally known that there
is still in Virginia considerable guam
tity of public land, and that every year
several hundred acres are taken up
and become private property. The
register of the land office during the
year has issued grants to $500 acres of
land located in the following counties:
Amherst. Buchanan, Botetourt, Bath,
Floyd, Frederick, FluvanDs, Giles,
Grayson, Lee, Montgomery, Roanoke,
Scott, rszewell and Wythe.
Mr. Richardson has mailed certified
abstracts of these grants to the clerks
Of courts of the counties in which
the land is located, aud to Safe Audit
or Marye also. The county clerks
will deliver copies of these abstracts to
the commissioners of the revenue, aid
the land, will be placed upon the laad
books, and their values added to the
taxable property of the counties in
which they are located.
There is still good deal of "wild
land" 10 Virginia, though several hun
dred acres are taken up every year.
Some of this land is covered by good
timber; much of it is thought to prob
ably have valuable mineral deposit 8
under it; a great deal of it is Of that
character that makes a man worse Of
by its being his property.
