| Layton on his advance to San Isidro, | and brought back story-short, of course--of every engagement that was fought. They also carried to Manila copies of the letters of the American prisoners. These letters would not be
 passed by the censor for some unac-
 countable reason They followed Gene
 ral MacArthus from Malolos to San
 Fernando, and brought in reports from
 Bagbag, Calumpit, Apalit, Santo To-
 mas and San Fernando. They went
 with General Lawton on his southern
 campaign and reported the battles of
 Morong, and later of Paranaque, the advance to Las Pinas, the battle at Za
 pote river bridge, the taking of Bacoor
 and of linus and the retreat of the Americans from the overwhelming force they met on the march to Das Marinas. They followed General Wheaton to Lingayen bay, and they beat the boat in with the news of a successful landing. Four of the pigeons were lost on that expedition, the distance, about one hun dred and twenty miles being too much for them. Afterward they found their way home, but it was too late for dispatch. Two that were let off at sea near the opening of Manila bay flew around the g1nboat Bennington for a half~hour and at last struck off for the mountains. There was a strong wind blowing at the time and the hills were covered with clouds. They, too, wan dered into their cotes later; but they were slow in their work.
 That anything in active life is sub ject to accident is illustrated by the ex- perience of the birds Two of them were killed and cooked by a native wo- man and served to the correspondents for breakfast The native woman had never heard of carriers before, and all pigeons tasted alike to the newspaper men, But there was much loud talking when 1t was discovered that the basket of homers had been desecrated After that the pigeons usually slept in the same room with the correspondents Once the whole basketful was plunged into the water as the correspondent fell over rice ridge. The prisoners blinked and shook off the wet It was an unexpected bath and not much bet ter appreciated by the pigeons than the man who was carrying the basket At 4 the retreat at Das Marinas the second pigeon let off never got through. He was killed by stray shot as he was making his circle.

when they may be heard continuosly from until midnight. Twelve seconds after midnight a peal of rejoicing is heard If the new day Is week day the chime is popular melodies, but if it be Sunday, hymns are given. The first holiday is Washington's Birthday, and then comes March r, April 19, June +, and July f. The last time the bells were pealed was on Dewey Day. It is a difficult matter to find eight men who can peal the bells in the old English fashion, and if 1t were possible to have pealing it is doubtful if it would be kept up. Generally speaking, chiming is pre- ferred as 1t is thought to be sweeter and more melodious
 In the fifty years history of these bells many a distinguished person has been in the tower when they were speaking to the people. At the time of the celebration over the introduction of Cochituate water James K. Polk, then President of the United States, was present; and, again, Henry Wilson, when Vice-president of the United States, saw the bel-ringer at his work when the one-hundredth anniversary of the HdHSlnS or the laHlerHS was op- served
 Frederick Jewell no longer chimes the bells except on New Years Eve or holiday. His son, Charles Jewell is the ringer. Like his father, Charles began to ring the bells when but a child, and when he was sixteen he became in truth the guardian of the bells. For seventy years these bells have been rung by the Jewell family.-Boeton Transcript.

VETERAN EDITORS ANNIVERS-
 ARY.

Lucius M. Guernsey of Mystic, editor of the Press of that place, has just cele-
 brated the fiftieth anniversary of his marriage. He is one of the veteran printers of New England, having been engaged in the business 60 years. He
 was born in East Hartford, Conn.,, in 1924, and will be 76 years old on the 17th of February. He spent the first thirty years of his life in Northampton and Springfield, Mass, and later conducted l for period of twelve years a printing office and a newspaper business at New | Britain, Con. Here he published the North and South and the True Citizen. He removed to Mystic in 1872, and twen- | ty-eeven years ago began the publca- tion of the Press, of which he is still the editor and proprietor.
 Although he has reached an age at which most men relax their active la bors, he is still daily toiler in the office, varying his task from that of editor-in- chief to the more humble round of apprentice. He eets all the type for the advertisements in the pa per, conducts job printing business. writes his editorial articles and local news between times and runs the print ing press. In his editorial account of his fftieth anniversary he says: Ut was quietly spent by the couple in their usual round of duties, the editor at desk, case and press, and the wife in her household affairs-it was however, a golden wedding in it's "reminiscences of all the way the Lord has led us, of the many friends and glesslngs given Us on the way and of those still remaining to us. Laus Dio!p
 MT Guernsey is active in the religi- ous and reform work of the town, and looks well and vigorous, though he says the years are beginning to tell on hifs strength. He would be glad to transfer some of the burden of wark he now bears to younger shoulders but his mind is clear and he is capable as ever of per forming his editorial duties. He is without doubt the oldest editor in active service in southeastern Connecticut.

THoMAs-Hezekiah Thomas, one of
the Oldest men in the country, died at
his home in Morgan district near the
old Collins Ferry, on Wednesday Feb
ruary 2lst. He had been i'll and prac-
tically helpless for some time before
his death. The age of Mr.. Thomas
is reported from 100 to 1914 years. A
neighbor who had known him for for
ty years informs Us that the best evil
dence obtainable fixes his age at 104
years. No one who knew him can
tell his birth place or how long he had
lived on the little farm on West Run
but men well up in years says he has
lived there ever since they can remem-

KANSAS CITY. JULY 4.
Democratic Convention to Open
on independence Day.
BRYAN TO BE THE NOMINEE.
conoensus of Opinion of Those at the
Committee Meeting In Washington.
Chicago Platform Also to BE Readopt-
ed-western Delegation Celebrated.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The next ma
tional Democratic convention will be
held at Kansas City, July 4. This was
the decision of the Democratic national
committee, which met at the Hotel RAJ
leigh to fix the time and place of
holding the convention. Milwaukee was
the only other city which competed for
the honor of entertaining the eonyen-
ton, and the poor showing she made
when the vote was taken tthe re<ult be-
ing Kansas City, 30; Milwaukee, 81,
caused general surprise.
The claims of tie rival cities as to ho-
tel accommodations, railroad and tele-
graphic facilities were presented in open
session by representatives of each city.
and subsequently in executive session.
Governor w. j. Stone, on behalf Of
Kansas City, and National Committee
man E. @. Wall ON behalf of Milwau-
kee, explained the financial inducements
which the city he represented was will
ing to make. Each offered the commit
tee $4,000, but, in addition, Kansas
City was willing to furnish hotel accom-
modations for the members of the COM
mittee and the hall with decorations and
music free of expense to the committee.
One of Milwaukee's strongest argu-
ments was the political effect which the
holding of the convention i'll that city
would have upon the German American
voters, who were represented to the
committee as wavering III their allegi
ance to the Republican party. 1t seemed
to be taken for granted by at least two
speakers that Bryan would be nomi-
mated and that the Chicago platform,
in substance, would be reaffirmed. OPP
position to trusts, expansion and I'M
perialism, together with every mention
of Bryan and the Chicago platform,
aroused enthusiasm, but during the
open session of the committee there was
no allusion to the issue of free silver.
Three dates for holding the conven-
ton were proposed, May Q, by Mr..
Townsend, of Oregon; June IA, by
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
Virginia. A speech by Ex-senator Cor
man in favor of holding to precedent
and naming date later than that for
the convention of the party in power
had considerable influence in causing
Independence day to be chosen.
After the committee had selected the
"Gate City, of the west, the Kansas
City boomers held jollification meet
ing in their rooms at the Raleigh. Ex-
Governor Stone addressed the gather
ing, predicting that those who attended
the convention would depart with
praises upon their lips for the hospital
ity they had received and that the nomi-
nee of the convention would be the VIC
tor at the polls in November.

COMING SURE.
Chief Engineer States What We
May Expect.

Extension From Brownsville Within
Thirty Days win be Let for Contract.
May Use B. & o. Tracks from Point
Marion South for a Time-Mere
Trains for MorgautOwn.
Mr.. Edward Herd is back at home
after a visit down the river to his
old stamping ground. While down
there he saw the chief engineer of
the Pennsylvania lines and was Civ
en- piece of news that is OF impor
lance to the people of this valley.
The assurance was given that the
road from Brownsville would be here
sure before very many months.
The first effort of the Company is
to get from Brownsville to Browns
Landing to connect with the roads
from the new Fayette county coal
fields and haul out the products of
the development there that viii soon
be wanting an outlet. The contract
for the construction OF this part OF
the extension is to be let within the
next thirty days
The road viii come up on the West
Side to point just below Freder-
icktown where it will cross and re
main on this side until it reaches
its first goal. AT Browns Land
it will be about eight miles from
Point Marion and on the same side
of the river.
The engineer in question stated to
Mr.. Herd that it was the intention
of the road to extend into West Vir-
ginia at once but that the line might
not be constructed for some months.
In the meantime it was intended
to use the tracks of the b & O. from
Point Marion to Fairmont. Event
ually however shey are to build a
line of their own along the valley.
Assurances of this kind are what
we have been wanting. All OF the
talk heretofore has been from those
who are not in a position to know
what is to be done. This announce
ment may be taken as correct and
within the next few months we will
see the Pennsys cars running past
this place. No matter whether we
get new road now or not we will
have more trains and that is what
will help us out.
