LONDON. Nov. 23-The Duke of De
vonshire, addressing the volunteers at
Eastborne to-day, referred to the eulogy
recently pronounced by Charles Francis
Adams, of Boston, upon General Robert
E. Lee.
The Duke said he was quite sure that
had General Lee failed to recognize de-
feat when it came, and had he allowed
the Confederate resistance to degenerate
into the sort OF guerilla warfare now be-
ing carried on in South Africa, not only
would the Federal Government not have
granted the Southerners the honorable
terms it did, but Lees name would to-day
have been generally execrated by every
patriotic citizen of the United States.

Fire at New London.

New London experienced some ex-

time when the hotel barn was discov-

result and the barn with it's contents
was totally destroyed. Five horses
and two COWS were burned to death,
and four sets of harness, and guam
tity of hay and feed were destroyed.
With the wind from the northwest,
there was some danger that the fire
would spread to the buildings along
the west side of the main street, but it
was soon placed under control by the
fire company. This is the first real
hot fire that New London has had
since their efficient water works were
erected many years ago. The proper

Rev. Irl R. Hicks Is Not Dead.

Notwithstanding a widely current
rumor that the Rev. Irl r. Hicks was
dead, he never was in better health,
and never did harder and more suc-
cessful years work than that just
closing. He has just completed his
large and splendid Almanac for 1902
and, with his staff of able helpers,
has brought his journal, Word and
Works, justly forward into inter-
national reputation. For a quarter
OF a century Mr.. Hicks has grown in
reputation and usefulness as the peo-
pies astronomer, and forecaster of
storms and the character of coming
seasons. Never were his weather FORE
casts so sought after as now, his time
ly warning of serious drouth this
year having saved the people from
loss and suffering. Millions of BUSH
els of wheat were harvested through
his advice to plant crops that would
mature early. The American people
will certainly stand by Prof. Hicks,
when it costs them so little and the
benefits are SO great. His fine Alma
nae of 200 pages is only Csc, and his
splendid family journal is only one
dollar year including the Almanac.
