ONLY SMrvjvor Of
G5e Wdr Of 1917.

Over 100000 men were enrolled in the
American armies during the war Of 1872
OF this vast host one single man remains
on the pension rolls Of the United States.
This lonely veteran is Hiram Cronk, of
Dunn Brook, Oneida county, a man 80
years old.
Mr.. Cronk was born on April %, 1900
at humble home in the town Of Frank
fort Herkimer county. He came Of
sturdy Dutch stock, of a family which
has won fame through a litigation to re-
gain the CrOnk estates in the Fatherland
In the early childhood of Hiram the fam
lily moved to Wright Settlement. about
two and a half miles from the city of
Rome. There the family lived about ten
years the boy attending school and help
ing about the chores. From Wright Set
Element the Cronks migrated to a farm
In the town of Western, then practically
IN the wilderness, and in that neighbcr-
mood Hiram Cronk has spent the greater
part of his life In 1887 he bought about
100 acres Of land, on which he erected
the house wherein he now lives, with
his only living daughter Mrs. Sarah A.
ROwley.
Before Hiram was fifteen years old his
spirit was reused over the issues Of the
war, and, with his father and his two
brothers, John and Jephtha he enlisted
in the United States army and went to
Sackets HarbOr, where he served about
100 days Hiram was so young and of
such slight build that the other soldiers
tried to joke with him, saying that, if
need be, his father could pick him up
and carry him to a place of safety. But
such an act was unnecessary, for in a
skirmish with tbs British the youthful
soldier carried himself so well that Capt
Davis, who had command of the troops
said If he had a regiment of such SOL
diers he could go into Canada and fight
the enemy on their own ground. For his
services in the war of 1912 Mr.. Cronk
gets a pension of IS a month He is one
of Agent Orr's pensioners on the rolls OF
the Buffalo office.
After the war the Cronks went home.
and Hiram took up the trade of itinerant
shOemaking, going about the countryside
and repairing the footwear of the people
In their own dwellings. He generally
made the trip twice a year, and thus
kept the farmers boots in condition for
wear.
When twenty-five years of age Hiram
met his fate and married her in the per-
son of Mary Thornton. For sixty years
they lived happily together. She died in
1885. Six children were born them. Five
of them are living. One son lost his life
in the Civil war. OF grandchildren and
great grandchildren Mr.. Cronk has about
a score.

Home of Baden-POwen Surrounded
by Cheering Crowds.
LONDON May 19-London tonight is
in a state of carnival, so far as the thor
oughfares are concerned. The liberation
from toll of hundreds Of thousands of the
working classes in the afternoon to some
extent changed the character of the cele-
brations which in the forenoon had been
marked by the absence of disorder and by
many graceful incidents, more especially
in the West End. Col. Baden-PoweIls
house, which faces Hyde Park, was all
day the center of scenes which must have
been extremely gratifying to his family,
who constantly appeared on the balcony
to bow their acknowledgements. In addi-
ton there was a continuous stream of
carriages bringing visitors leaving cards
of congratulation.
When the great procession, which was
of great length, being joined by mem
bers of the best society, stopped in front
of the house, his mother and sister came
to the window being evidently greatly
moved. His sister fetched a large pic
ture of the colonel, mounted on an easel,
and placed it on the balcony. When the
cheers stopped for minute, the coloneTs
mother addressed the assembly, express
ing heartfelt thanks to the demonstra-
tors. At about this time a beautifully
which there were three ladies, each at
tired in the national colors-red, white
and 1--we The charming effect of this
and similar incidents gave picturesque
tone to the festivities.
Everywhere were professions and va
rious bands in carnival or khaki attire,
with pretty girls or youths collecting
money for VARIOUS funds connected with
the war There must have been millions
of flags sold during the day. The whole
city was covered with them. There were
little other attempts at decoration, but
the effect is novel to Londoners.
Tonight, although the excitement is less
in intensity, the crowds are hourly
thickening, until, 1t is almost impossible
to pass through the streets, and the
scenes of the queens jubilee are far
eclipsed. The crowds are mainly com
posed of people In rough attire. who, after
indulging in cheering, found amusement
in hat smashing, throwing paper and
confetti and in various kinds of horse
play, making the streets hideous with
the noise of tin trumpets, concertinas and
other musical instruments, and in Great
ing ugly rushes along the thoroughfares.

There were professions with bands and
