A FRENcHMAN's BIG FAMILY.
Forty-One Children Born 10 n Resi-
dent of Rhode IsInsd.


NORTH FOSTER, R. l., May 14.-Levi
Bresson. an old Frenchman of this place,
celebrated the birth Of his forty-first child
"a boy Of ter pounds-on Friday. II was
born to his third wife. who is the mother
Of fourteen children. His first wife bore
him fifteen children and his second wife
twelve. Thirty-two of the children are
still living, or were up 10 q few months
ago, when the father last heard from them.
Most of them are married and raising
families OF their own, and they have be-
come so scattered that the old man can
scarcely keep track of them. He kept
the names of his grandchildren until they
numbered over 100 and then gave up the
record.
Bresson ran away 10 this country from
Canada to marry his first wife and settled
in Connecticut She presented him with
triplets within the first year and with
twins the next, and they all lived In 1862
Bresson went to the war The family
commenced to grow again as soon as peace
was restored and has been growing ever
since.
After the death of his first vile Bresson
married a neighboTing farmers daughter,
who in her lifetime thrice bore him twins
in addition to six single babies. All Of
his children were remarkably healthy. He
had sixteen down with the measles at one
time. When he moved here from across
the Connecticut line few years ago the
authorities thought an orphan asylum was
coming to town.
All his life Bresson has been engaged
in hard manual labor. He still retains his
strength and vitality in spite OF his age.
He is unable to tell the exact year when
ne was born, but thinks he is wen past
seventy. His own-fa father. he says. was
the father of eighteen children, O. which
he was the eldest.

September Sd. Is the>day set for the cele-
bration and according to the plans of the
labor unions there will be great doings
ficm the rise of the sun until its setting
and long after.
Yesterday the committee appointed last
week by the laboring men of the city call
ed upon Governor Dole and arranged with
him the details of the celebration. 1t was
quite formidable dele gation when 1t was
all gathered in the Governors Office. near
ly every laboring union in the city having
representative in it. The members OF
the committee were as follows: E. II
May, maohinists; j. H. Conncrs. plumb
ers; j. j. Ryan, bo.lermakers; j. Kosick,
bricklayers: H. G. Reed, patternmakers

tcrers. and w. M. Villinsworth, carpen-
tiers. r. H. May chairman and George
r. Stoil secretary.
Governor Dole after receiving the dele
cation said that by consulting the stat
utes he had ascertained that Labor Dav

cd States, and hence it was unnecessary
to make 1t such in Hawaii by special
proclamation. All Government offices
would be closed on that day. he announc-
ed and throughout the Islands it would
be observed as a public holiday.
Chairman May asked for the use of the
drill shed for the ball of the evening, and
Governor Dole said that he thought there
would be no difficulty in securing it, al
the ugh he would have to consult the mil
itary authorities. The band was promised
to play for the parade and also for the
bah. Governor Dole declined the commit
tees offer of a place in the parade, say
ing that he preferred to view it at some
point, so II was decided that the process
SIGN would circle through the Capitol
grounds, so that ii might be reviewed
from the steps.
The matter of securing the use of Ka.
piolani Park for the games and races of
the day was not settled, as the Governor
said that the park was leased to the Ha
waiian Jockey Club, but he stated that
ne believed there would be no difficulty in
obtaining 1t for the occasion.
There will be meeting of the labor
unions OF the city at the Plumbers Hall
this evening, at which the reports of the
various committees will be received and
plans completed for the celebration of the
holiday.

ROMAN TOWER BUILT ON THE.
RHINE

Under the patronage OF the German
kaiser, extensive research is being
mace on the upper Rhine, and specially
near Homburg, for the remains of an
Client Roman Notifications. The ex-
cavations have brought :, light evil
dence of three different systems of de-
Tense. which succeeded one another IN
the many generations of Roman do
minion in Germany.
An effort is being made to reproduce
portion of these Notifications in their
original extent and in the original STYLE
of construction.
The accompanying Illustration
SHOWS a wooden watch tower as re-
constructed. 1t belongs to the second
period, the earlier defenses having con-
sisted solely of wall or earth rein
forced by system of palisades. built
to guard the military road leading up
from Italy.
Tnis watch tower stands on the site
or one which was standing in the early
centuries of the Christian era. The
connecting earth walls, bitches and
palisades are also restored and ii is
peiieved that the work is a faithful rep
resentation of the Roman originals.
Remnants of all portions Of the an
Gent works are found save roofs. and
broom corn is now used for this pur-
pose. as IT was most easily obtainable
py the Romans, and it's perishable ma
ture would explain the failure to find
any evidence of its existence in the
course of the excavations. The gallery
which has been added is copied from
those shown in Roman pictures of the
stone watch towers of the latest period
1t is the plan to restore the Roman
castle at saalburg, together with the
outlying defenses. and to establish il
the castle museum OF local Roman
antiquities.

In 1870, from July "a to August
4, a period of eleven days, Ger
many was able to convey in l, 500
railroad trains 10, 299 officers, l6l,
SSl horses and l6, 8S3 cannon and
baggage wagons to the seat of war.
So great has been the progress
made by Germany during the in
tervening thirty years, that she
could at the present time transport the
same number of men and same quaint
ity of war material to the scene of ac-
tion from Two to four days, which
shows the enormous strategetical i'm
portance of the railway. A great
French military authority considers
that by means of seven double track
railway lines, 100000 men could be
transported to the frontiers of Ger
many in twenty four hours, and in 2O7
trains on each of the seven lines. This
would be total of 1,449 trains. Ger
many is not far behind France in ithis
ability to mobilize troops and lao
trains bearing 100000 men can be
dispatched from Berlin with in twenty
four hours to any district of the en-
pire, SO that the two great neigboring
powers could mobilize great armies
and begin war simultaneously with its
declaration.
