CALVIN G. WILLIS.

After an illness of about four years Calvin G. Willis died Monday noon at his residence, 36 Pearl street, Norwich He had been unconscious for two days previous to his death. The Bulletin says of him:
 MT. Willis was born in Mansfield Conn.,, in February, 1926, and was the son of Abram Willis. He learned the carpenters trade and in 1S47 went to New Haven, where he worked for his brother. In 1852 he came to Norwich and was for many years a prominent builder, erecting many of the large res- years collector of the West Chelsea school district retiring about four years ago, when his health began to fail.
 Mr. Willis was a man of strict in tegrity, and all his business relations were characterized by fairness and im- partiality. He took his chief pleasure in his home and was invariably genial in manner and generous of heart He was a member of the First Baptist Ecclesiastical society and was a regu- lar church attendant. He leaves a wife, one son, Irving J. Willis, and a grand daughter. He is also survived by three brothers, Frank and Philander Willis, of Scotland, and Lee Willis, of Leba- non,

NATURES TODDY SHOP.

Nature has her rum shops, her sa- looms. She produces plants which de- vote themselves to the manufacture and sale of intoxicants. The South American toddy tree is we'll known to naturalists. It is well known also, to the South American beetle, the Oryctes Hercules. When the latter goes on a spree, he never goes it alone, after the neighborly habit of the human drunk ard. He collects his friends and ac- quaintances to the number of thirty or forty; the whole crowd run their short horns through the bark of the toddy tree, revel in the overflowing juices, and while inebriated are esaily caught by the human natives.
 The toddy tree parts with it's liquor free of charge. There are other plants which are less generous. They exact no less a penalty than the death of the unfortunate drunkard. And what do they do with the body? Strange as it may seem, they eat it. In this manner they obtain the food which nourishes them and sustains their healthful ex- istence. At the end of each of their long green leaves these plants have a pitcher-shaped receptacle. We might style this the growler, but it never needs to be rushed. It is always full of what with special appropriateness might be called bug juice-a watery liquor, sweet to the taste and inebriat- ing to the senses. Only in fine weather is the growler open for business. On rainy days it is firmly shut up to keep out the rain that would dilute and spoil the contents.-Lippincott' Nigga zine.

Colon went on. But the battle was on for men not visible. Down deneath the protective deck informed only of the glories of that days fighting by Cap tain Cooks bulletin, through the speak, ing tube, men worked in pit below the water in a temperature of over 16O degrees, From the tunnels the black smoke pouring forth told that stokers and coal passers and tiremen were working like fiends to give the ship more momentum, so that the foe would be captured. At the engines Engineer Carter and his assistant, Mir Patton, watched every pulsation and encour- aged the men to great efforts to pro- duce more steam. In the stoke holds men toiled amid fierce flames that licked out at them each time the doors opened for coal or the long slice bars went in. The rush of air that comes in goes out only through the furnaces, creating what is known as forced draught," Cautiously enough, it is more comfortable in the stoke hold when forced draught is called for than ordi- narily for the extra air forced down helps the men as well as the fires. The heat, however, was intense only July and several times the big steel cage opened to let out men who had tainted. Yet the instant they w,re recovered back they went with as much esprit de corps as any one on deck.
 Slowly the Brooklyn gained on the Colon, until the last Spanish ship went down. So did the Oregon. The fire and engineers corps of the two ships had won the day and caught the last of the Spanish fleet.

The Late John Durrie, the Artist.


 The remains of John Durrie, who died last Monday in East Orange, N. J., will be brought to this city to-day. for bur ial. The interment will be in the Grove street cemetery. MT. Durrie died at the home of his brother, Dr. William Durrie, whither he had gone on visit. He left here about two weeks ago, be- ing then in feeble health, but yet able to take the journey. His strength was. however, fast waning, and he arrived at his brothers to die. He was seized with paralysis, his third attack, on Sat- urday last and became unconscious, and without recovering consciousness passed away.
 MT. Durrie was an artist of unusual ability, and many portraits and fruit pieces executed by him are highly priz- ed by their owners. His speciality was portrait painting and pictures of fruit. He studied his art under the tutelage of the late Nathaniel Jocelyn of this GUY, STauuldlHeI Ol JuQSe SlcaNSltLSi of our probate court. He was an apt pupil, and his life was devoted to his art. In his boyhood he attended the old Lancasterian school. MT. Durrie was a son of the MT Durrie who was for many years of the long noted Chapel street firm of Durrie & Peck, booksell- CTS of this city. He was a man of very quiet, unassuming life, very interest ing and entertaining companion when with sympathetic and congenial minds, and he was a great lover of nature and fond of taking long walks into the country for health, recreation and ob- servation. He leaves two brothers, Dr. William Durrie of East Orange N. J., and Austin Durrie of New York city, who is connected with the Associated Press, and one sister, Mrs. Simmons of Richmond, Va

HORRID DEATH.
Mrs. s. C. Miller Burned to
Death
While Lighting a Gasoline
Stove in North Topeka.
NO ONE WAS PRESENT
When the Accident Happened,
But Her Dead Body
Found When the Flames Had
NO ONE WAS PRESENT
Found When the Flames Had

Death with all the horrors of crema-
ton visited the family of S. C. Miller
at Ala Park street, North Topeka, on
Easter morning.
At $3.50 o'clock Mr.. S. c. Miller, who
is a member of the Topeka board of
education, stepped outside his summer
kitchen and went to the barn to milk
the COW. Mrs. Miller, his wife, was
making preparations to get breakfast
for the family. She went into the
summer kitchen, turned the valve in
the gasoline stove and put a lighted
match to the cup. Suddenly there was
a roaring flame shooting up from the
stove, the floor, and the walls of the
small room. Just what happened af-
ter this will never be known, for the
only eye witness to it now lies cold in
death. The general belief is that in
stantly Mrs. Miller'S clothing caught
fire and that the walls of flame
which were fed by the gasoline which
had soaked into the woodwork, proba b.
ly from the night before, isuffOcated her
She fell to the floor, her body lying
midway between the corner where the
gasoline stove stood and the door lead
ing into the back yard.
Mr.. Miller happened to come out of
the barn soon afterward and he dis
covered the flames enveloping the sum-
mer kitchen. Frantic with the dread
that his wife was within the walls of

flame, he ran to the door of the kitchen
only to be driven back by the intense
heat. He then ran to the side door
and forced it open. Advancing few
feet to the entrance of the summer
kitchen he was again driven back gasp
ing. But with heroic determination he
craWled on the floor to the door and
vainly tried to find his wife. The
flames were whirling and seething in
the 6xS feet room and he could not en-
ter it, nor could he see into it. He
two daughters and two roomers to es-
cape from the house. All this took but
moments time, but the flames had
gained incredible Roadway. An alarm
of fire was turned in and fremen ar
rived in prompt time and did excellent
work in putting out the fire. From
the time the fire was first discovered
until the alarm was sent in was about
eight minutes.
There was no doubt now that Mrs.
Miller had persisted in the flames, and
efforts were made to find her. But the
flames drove back firemen and citizens
who took part in the search. Finally,
when the summer kitchen had been
destroyed by the fire and enough of the
burning emberS could be removed from
it to allow of entrance, a terrible sight
was revealed. There on the floor of the
Kitchen lay the charred remains of Mrs.
Miller. Her clothing had been burned
from her body, and all the flesh on the
limbs and the trunk of the body was
burned black. 1t is believed Mrs Mil
Ter must have fallen unconscious on
inhaling the flame and suffered little
bodily pain.
Undertaken Willis removed the body
and it was afterward given in charge
of Undertaken Shellabarger.
But few saw the body it lay on the
kitchen floor. Those who did, saw a
sight which they will never forget. An
old gentleman who assisted in remOV-
ing it said: IT am thankful that Mr.
Miller did not see her there. I hope L
may never have to look again upon
such a sight,

Been Attacked.

Madrid, April 9.-Upon receipt of dis
patches from Senior Polo y Bernabe de-
nying the report that the Spanish lega-
ton at Washington had been attacked,
an official denial was issued to the pub
lie.
Much indignation was expressed even
among Spaniards at this sensational at

1t was a deliberate attempt. The
statement that Senior Bernabe had been
attacked was made in flaming head
lines and hundreds of boys and men
were crying the papers in front of the
church doors and wherever the crowd
was thickest all day long. The square
in front of the American legation ex-
cept for the police, was almost deserted.
