Spaniards Played Fair.

In the year 1746, when England
was engaged in war with Spain, Capt.
Edwards, of the Elizabeth-of London,
coming through the gulf from Ja-
maica, richly laden, met with a violent
storm. The ship sprang leak that
obliged it to run into the port of Ha-
vana. The captain went onshore, and
waited on the governor, and told him
of the occasion of his putting in, add
ing that he surrendered the ship as
prize, as well as himself and crew, as
prisoners of war, only requesting good
quarters, mo, sir" replied the gov
ernor; "if we had taken you in fair
sea, or approaching our own coast
with hostile intentions, your ship
would then be lawful prize, and your
people prisoners but when, distressed
by the hand of Providence, you come
to our port for safety of your lives.
we, being men, though enemies, are
bound by the laws of humanity to af-
ford relief to the distressed who ask
it OF US. We cannot, even against our
foes, take advantage of the act of
God. You have leave, therefore. to I'M
load your ship. If that be necessary to
stop the leak. You may fit her here.
and traffic so far besides as shall be
needful to pay charges. When re-
paired you may depart. Twill give you
pass, to be in force till beyond Ber-
muda. If after that you are taken,
then you will be lawful prize, where
as, now, as you are only stranger,
you have a strangers right to safety
and protection"
Here was fairness. The ship depart
ed and arrived without any other &C
cident in the port of London.

PEAcHAM.
Death Of DIR. Parker.

DR.. Luther F. Parker who died Sept.
IL, was born in Coventry, Sept. %,
1921. He was the second son OF Isaac
and ArabelIa Cobb. Parker. About 1910
he came to Peacham and fitted for COL
lege, and taught in the Academy. In
1914 he entered Burlington College and
took one half Of the course, being compel.
ed to leave at the end OF the Sophomore
year on account of i'll health. After re-
gaining his health he studied medicine at
Peacham, and in the medical department
of Dartmouth College, and began prac-
tice in Barnet about the beginning of
1850. In 1854 he moved TO Peacham
where he has ever since resided. In June
1850, he was married TO Louisa Martin
who died in 1896.
DR.. Parker inherited strong constitu-
ton and vigorous mind. He had the
good fortune of having both a paternal
and maternal ancestry of exceptional
physical and mental strength who have
been identified with the progress and de-
velopment of New England almost from
the landing of the Mayhower.
Of the character and life OF Dr. Parker
much might be said, but little need be
said. The history OF his life is indelibly
recorded wherever his influence has ex.
tended. He has been closely identified
with this town, its people and institu-
tons for nearly 60 years, constantly de-
voting his energies in advancing their
best interests, always a relentless foe OF
evil and an untiring friend of the good.
How deeply he was rooted in the hearts
of the people was proven by the tear
stained cheeks of the great number as
they took their last look as he lay in
the casket. He was loved as tender
and sympathetic physician, a great
hearted man and devoted friend.
Generous to fault and of the broad
est sympathies, he was always sacrificing
his personal interests to help others. He
neither spared his strength when sickness
called, nor his energies or money when 6
good cause required promoting.
| In his death this community has lost g
physician of the first rank and the warm
est friend of it's material, educational anc
religious interests. He leaves one son

Manila, Sept. 20.--The Philippine Re-
public asserts that an attempt was made
to poison Aguinaldo on Friday. A
steward, it is added, saw Spanish
prisoner, who had been allowed his free
dom, make movement which appeared
like tampering with the bowl of soup in
tended for Aguinaldo. The steward
tasted a spoonful of the soup and died.
Eleven Of the Franciscan friars are al
legged to have been engaged In the con-
spiracy. The populace, 1t is further said,
attempted to lynch all the Spanish
prisoners, but Aguinaldo interviewed.
At Saturdays session of the national
assembly, it appears, Aguinaldo was
absent, but his representative related
the story of the outrage to the members,
who unanimously adopted the chair
mans proposal that they all go to
Aguinaldo's house, express sympathy
with him and congratulate him upon his
escape. During the evening a special
Thanksgiving service was held in the
church at Maolos.

New York, Sept. 19-The following
dispatch has been received at the office
here of the Associated Press:
Manila, Philippines, Sept. 49,
The Filipino government desires to
inform the American government and
| people that the many rumors circulated
| regarding the strained relations be-
| tween the Filipino and American forces
are base. malicious ISLANDERS of the en-
| envy to both parties, are without any
truth and are circulated for the pur-
pose of prejudlcing the appeal Of the
Filipinos for their release from the OPP
preston and cruelty of Spain.
The relations of our people and yours
have been.and will continue to be of the
most friendly nature, and we have with
drawn our forces from the suburbs OF
Manila as an additional evidence of our
confidence in the great American re-
public. Aguinaldo.

Too Much for Him.

Citizens of Jamestown, Pa, are
mourning the death of one of the
characters of that place, and the cir
cumstances of his taking off, as told
by resident are indeed sad, says the
New York Press.
Joe, as he was always known, had
been an inhabitant of Johnstown all
his life, and nobody knows just how
long that was. Whatever money he
earned was by peddling apples and
candy from basket which he carried,
and, as he grew older and feeble, his
income dwindled until it was barely
enough to sustain him. Coupled with
this was the fact that he began to
lose his teeth, which, up to that time,
had always served him faithfully.
This troubled him exceedingly, and
it was his habit to request persons to
buy his wares in order that he might
save enough money to get set of
teeth. Nobody knows just how long
it took Joe to save enough, but few.
weeks ago he received the teeth and
he was as proud of them as a mother is
of her first baby. Nothing would do
but he must MUNICH an apple for every
acquaintance he met to show him how
the new worries worked.
WELL" the old resident said, reflec-
, lively, Joe must have eaten about 100
apples that first day, and when the
next day came he couldn't get out of
bed, he kept on getting worse till he
died.
my wife says the pleasure of receiv-
ing the teeth was too much for him,
but I've got an idea that those apples
had something to do with it,"
