YESTERDAY MORNINGS FIRE.
Was in a House on Lafayette Street.
 Small Damage Done.

| Was in House on Lafayette Street. Small Damage Done. An alarm was rung from box 1S, at Mo- 216 Congress avenue, shortly after Il o'clock yesterday forenoon for fire at No. 109 Lafayette street, in house occupied by Samuel Levin and family little girl stepped on a parlor match which was on the floor and a piece of the burning head of the match flew into some fringe on a lounge, igniting it. The blaze was extinguished before any tire damage will not amount to more than $15.
 Lightning on the wires caused two alarms to be rung from box 15, at No. Is engine house on Howard avenue, on Saturday evening, the first alarm at 5:15 and the second at GAY, just as the com panies which had responded to the first alarm were returning to their houses. They responded a second time, only to find that they had been fooled by light ming again.
 A still alarm was sent to No, 7's house at 7:45 Saturday evening for blaze in the basement of J. IT. Frosts store, 97 Union street. The fire was caused by escaping gas becoming ignited by an electric light. The fire was extinguish- ed and the leak in the gas pipe was stopped. The damage done amounts to only about $10

AN ANCIENT HOMESTEAD.
It Has Been Purchased by c. H. Bron
 son of Waterbury.

l IL I1dS beell I'ufClldSeu by C II. loIoil son of Waterbury.
 | c. II. Bronson of the insurance firm of Bronson & Dennison of Waterbury has purchased from the estate of the late Addison Palmer of Torrington, one of the oldest and most picturesque
 places in Litchfield county known as
 the Fowler homestead, and deeded it
 over to his wife, in whose family the
 homestead has been ever since 1775. The Waterbury Republican says" The homestead is one of those old-fashioned
 New England farm houses. It was
 built in 1750, but is as solid to-day as
 the day it was put up. The timbers are
 all hewn oak and maple, the principal
 ones being 12x12, and every bit of the
 lumber was got out by hand and call
 culated to last for couple of centuries
 at least The long low eloping roof of
 the fashion of those days is as good as
 when built and the substantial windows and door castings show little or no signs of the weather wear of a century and a half.
 The house first came into the possess sion of Noah Fowler in 1775. MT. Fow- Ter was a direct descendant of Sir Rob- ert Fowler. knight and baron in the reign of Richard III of England in 11S0, and crusader of the Holy Land. The coat of arms of the Fowlers was a hand and lure. During the crusade a night surprise was planned by the Saracens on the camp in charge of which was Sir Robert Fowler. By his vigilance the surprise was met and complete rout of the enemy was the re- suit. King Richard in recognition of this took away the old coat of arms and gave the family new one, consisting of a shield on the top of which is perched an owl and on the sides are two lions, ram pant. The motto is "Sapiens qui Wig liant" Che is wise who is watchfuD. After the death of Noah Fowler the house passed to his son Norman Fowler in 1925 and then to Phoebe Fowler, who married Addison Palmer in 1855 MT. Bronson's wife is the daughter of Addi- son and Phoebe Fowler Palmer MT. Palmer died in 1897 and MT. Bronson has just purchased the old homestead as present for his wife and to keep it in the family
 His family and that of his son-in-Iaw. and partner, Robert Dennison, are there now, and MT. Dennison stays there the | first three days of the week and MT | Bronson the last, while both pass their Sundays there''

HILLHOUSE CLASS POEM.

Pretty Verses Written by Miss Sara E.
 Beecher.
 The class poem of the gradua ting class of Hillhouse was written by Miss Sara E. Beecher, and was delivered at the class day, Thursday, in the Hyperi- on. The poem was as follows: To-day four happy years, perhaps the
 happiest of our lives, Come to their close; And we have passed one milestone on
 the road of life. We now go forth to struggle in the
 world.
 We leave the valley and the level plains And strive to climb the heights that lie
 before in grim array. Our lives will henceforth be apart, And some of us will meet success, and
 some, perhaps, renown; And some may struggle bravely on in
 battles to One only known, Receiving naught of what the world
 calls gain, But winning that nobility of soul Which. in Gods eyes, is never held as
 dross. The essence of all real and lasting good Is found in truth and strength of will; And he who has these weapons for his
 aid in life, Needs little else to win him bright suc-
 cess. The world makes way for such a man as
 this, And looks upon him as a man of
 strength in all vicissitudes. He who would reach the goal must by
 endeavor Search firmly for the deepmost truth of
 life, and, living true To his most high ideals of right, with
 constancy of purpose, win Gods high approval, for, not what vel
 are, But what we would be counts with God And brings His graciousness to this
 weak earth. Oh, may we each one. in the future time,
 show, day by day, That these four years, These happy years of bright and care-
 free life at school, Have not been spent entirely in vain; That they have had an influence on us |
 all, To make us better men and women for l our life work here below, And may we all, each in his path of life, Bring no disgrace 10 the dear name of Hillhouse, nd ooiuo forth the last class of the |
 dying century. lay ours, by word and deed. Be truly "nulli secundum," second to
 none.

THE LATE MARY WELLS GAY
 LORD,

l The Newington correspondent of the Hartford Times says: Your correspon- dent just received interesting facts in
 the history of Mrs. Mary Wells Gay
 lord, aged eighty-siX, widow of the Rev.
 Reuben Gaylord (founder and first pas
 tor of the First Congregational church
 of Omaha). who died last winter in IT, vington, Neb., where she was spending
 the winter with her daughter, Mrs. Sa rah G. Brewster, a cousin of Joseph | Camp of this place. Mrs. Gaylord was native of Newington, the daughter of James Wells and his wife, Eleanor, who
 was an older sister of the late Colonel
 Joseph Camp, father of Joseph Camp. Their home was the brick house on
 Doud street that was burned down
 some years ago-the site on which Ed ward S. Goodale's house now stands.
 The family consisted of a son James
 who died, unmarried, in middle life,
 and three daughters; Eleanor, who
 married Heman Seymour of West Hart
 ford, who removed to Iowa in 1S3S;
 Anne, who married the late Deacon
 Jedediah Deming, then a widower, and
 spent her life in Newington, and Mary
 the subject of this sketch, Being left
 motherless in early life the daughters
 were members of the family of their un-
 cle, Joseph Camp, and his sisters. All
 were noted as successful school teach CTS, and were prominent members of the church choir. In March, 1S41, she took
 the long journey to Iowa to join her sister, under the care of the Rev. Reu
 ben Gaylord who had been the second Congregational minister to settle in Iowa in 1888. She there began as a school teacher, but in November of the same year che was married to MT.

Here he be- | gan the work of his life, founding Con- gregational churches, first in Omaha l and then in the regions around, as he , had previously done in Iowa. In his later years he preached on the line of |  as Colorado, also in Wyoming and Utah. Mrs. Gaylord was left a widow In 1880 and made her last visit east in lSS7 after an absence. of twentythree years. Her health was such that for the last twelve years she passed most of the winters in a mild climate, California being her favorite place, though Flori- la and Texas were visited. Becoming unable to travel she passed her later winters at home The life of her hus- oand an interesting book of over four hundred pages, was written by her when seventy-five years old, showing Ter remarkable mental vigor and ca ,acity. The funeral in Omaha at the First Congregational church caused the presence of many of the oldest settlers The bearers were old settlers or repre- enting the families of old settlers, and our pastors of Congregational churches n Omaha took part in the services:

BooK-1NJuRING INSECT PESTS.

A review of the different families of
 insects whose habits under favorable l conditions lead them to infest books and bindings will show them to be more or less well defined, according to their | feeding habits. The book scorpians and mite, Cheyletue eruditus, which, as we | have seen, do not come under the head of insects, are primarily carniverous, | and their presence in books may be due to the fact that they find there animal as well as vegetable food. This is cer- tainly true of the book scorpion, which feed on mites, book lice and other small fish" the "book lice" and the cock reaches" can have no other reason for infesting books than their liking for farinaCeous substances, such as are used in and about the bindings and la bels of books. For this reason the dam age done by them is largely confined to the exterior or interior of the bindings, and only so much of the book itself is injured as comes in their way in search of food. The ''white ants" feed princi- pally on wood, and in ard about books there is more or less wood fibre which would be to the liking of these vora-
 
 are the borrowers and borers They seek retired places in which to lay their eggs where the larvae will be surround l ed with food for their growth The moths and some of the beetles are more | given to burrowing in the bindings, l keeping close to the outer surface for | the purpose, it is thought, of making 1t easy for the imago to emerge after the change is completed; while others bore | straight tunnels, often from cover to l cover.
 A natural conclusion for one who has gone over the literature of book-iniur- ing pests to reach is that the many per- sons that have been industriously look ing for the bookworm as we'll as those l that have reported the finding ot iso- lated specimens, some dead, some alive, have had in mind the one crea- ture which bored holes in books. The freqent use of the terms genuine bookWorm," 'the real bookworm" etc. reveals the fact that the users of these phrases approached the subject with preconceived idea of the kind of crea- ture they should find to account for the ravages only too apparent on scores of volumes which pass through the hands Of booksellers and b0ok-keepers To many the boring beetles are the only creatures which are rightfully called boolSworms, and in their search other book pests have not been taken into Austen in The Popu- lar Science Monthly.

Hon. P. ]. Mccumber was born in
Chicago in 1858, and the same same year
his parents moved to Rochester, MINI,
where he resided until he came to Dako-
ia territory in 1881. He was educated in
the public schools Of Minnesota, gradual
ing from the Rochester High School, after
which he took the law course at the
Michigan State University, graduating at
Ann Arbor in 1880. He then read law
with Hon. c. c. Wiston of Rochester and
came toWahpeton the following year and
commenced business for himself. The
firm of Mccumber.& Bogart is one of the
leading legal lights of the state. In 1884
he was elected to the lower house of the
territorial Legislature of Dakota, and in
1886 he was elected to the council of the
same body; in both bodies he was a lead
er ON the floor as we'll as a hard worker
in committee.
Since statehood it has been rare that
he has not been an important factor in
every state convention. In the first state
convention, when the memorable John
Miller contest occurred, he was the leader
Of the successful faction. Whether sue
cessful or defeated he has always been
a prominent figure, esteemed highly by
those who opposed.
He is an excellent debater, a clear
logical reasoner and may be depended
upon to ably present the interests that
may be trusted to him on all occasions.
He is independent and seems just as hap
