 The house was built by the late Wentworth Tremaine, lumberman. It was afterward purchased and occu- pied by William Weller, the great mail contractor and proprietor of the line of mail stages running between Hamilton and Montreal for many years previous to the construction and opening of the Grand Trunk rail- way system. Subsequently it was purchased by George Ley, an English gentleman, whose widow sold it to Miss Allan.
 Coburg has of late years grown in importance as favorite summer re- sort, and to-day there is not an avail able residence for occupation in the place.
 It's unrivaled situation on Lake On- tario, with it's ever pure sparkling waters and with balmy, light but cooling and healthful breeze always coming off the lake during the sum- mer months, has mace for it name and a fame. This, with the many palatial private residences in the town and the suburbs, marks Coburg as one of the most beautiful towns i'm the dominion of Canada.
 American visitors, of whom there are hundreds, are charmed with it's situation and health-giving atmos- phere, and many of them have cons tributed much to it's wealth in resi- dences they have either erected on. bought and improved.

lion he silencedN Fort Sumter and se- cured safe anchorage for the Mon- itor inside the bar of Charleston, and in this manner efectually put stop to the blockade running, which had been so successfully practiced. His name is thus linked with that of the world-renowned John Ericsson, the inventor of the Monitor, and our navy is largely indebted to Dahlgren for the great improvements in it's ordnance made since 1S40. It is hardly necessary to add that John Ericsson, whose invention of the Monitor in 1862 made the north su- preme on the sea and shortened the war of the rebellion, was a Swedish immigrant, born in Sweden July 31, 1903. He emigrated to England in 1926 and to America in 1889. In 1929 he invented the fire engine for ex- tinguishing fires, and in 1884 he ap- piled the screw instead of wheels for propelling vessels.
 A large number of Swedes served in the war of the rebellion, and going back to the war of the revolution we find brilliant Swede, Col. (afterward field marshaD Axel Fersen, who in 1779 went to France, where he was appointed colonel of the royal regi- ment of Swedes. At the head of his regiment he served in the later cam paigns of the American war, and dis tinguished himself on various occa- sions, particularly in 1781, during the siege of Yorktown, Axel Fersen also took part in the negotiations between Gen. Washington and Gen. Rocham- beau. He afterward became marshal of the kingdom of Sweden.
 One of the most distinguished Swedes now living in this country is John Lind He was born in Sweden March 25, 1854; came with his parents to Minnesota; was member of con gress from 1887 to 1893 and governor of Minnesota from 1899 to 1901.

AWAIT HIS RETURN.
Two Women Believe That Andree
 Is Still Alive.
Faith of the ExpIorer'ss Mother and Sister In His safety-Have Faith That Their Prayers will
 Be Answered..

Four years have passed since 5. A. Andree started for the north pole in a balloon The Swedish courts have decIared that the explorer may legal " be supposed to be dead. Andree's own extreme limit of time has passed, geogra phers agree that he is lost, his own brother has accepted the be- quests made to him in Andree's will, yet his mother and hls sister are still confident that he is alive and will re- turn.
 These two women live at Grenna in. Sweden. They keep themselves ready to receive him any day or night and dust and clear every morning the rooms in which he made the plans for his expeditions. Say what you may, produce the most convincing proof that Andree must be dead, bring forth the strongest arguments in favor of your contention, the mother and sister will listen quietly and when you have finished they will sim ply say: 'sHan lefver och will oter- yanda.' Gle is alive and will return.)
 It is not merely hope, not merely a strong desire, that makes these wom- -
 of their son and brother. It is their belief that Andree went forth to seek the north pole and to find it in fulfill ment of mission given to him by God. And the Lord has never yet forsaken one of his servants is the way they explain it.
 The mother, Fru Andree, says the New ork Sun, is nearly 70, though her clear, ruddy face, her erect car riage and the continuous smile that plays around her face make her ap- pear much younger. Her rather TO- bust daughter, Fru Emeline Span berg, is lively, good-natured woman, and mother and daughter impress the visitor as pair of the most intimate friends.

They are loyal to American institutions and at the same time devoted to their Swedish inheritance. It may be said of the. Swedes, as of the other representa-- tives of the Scandinavian peoples. that they make excellent American citizens, and that the value of their citizenship is greatly enhanced by the interest they take in the Iancaa1e

 came fully acquainted with all the bu- reaucratic methods, and, like for mer Secretary Chandler, had some unpleasant experiences with naval officers, who relied upon polit- ical influence to continue on ''shore duty" rather than take their turns at sea. He knows all the ins and outs of the department. and has an intimate knowledge of the ring rule in the bureau of naviga ton, which has been one of the most objectionable features of the navy department for many years.
 Admiral Crowninshield's methods in that bureau have often been severely censured in congress, and it was an open secret that Dewey was sent to the Asiatic station in 1897 to prevent him from having any conspicuous com mand in the event of war with Spain, the bureau of navigation not figuring on Philippine campaign.
 It was Assistant Secretary Roosevelt who set in motion the campaign against the Spanish fleet in the Philippines that gave Dewey his great opportu- nifty.
 It is intimated by Admiral Schley's friends that Gen. Tracy will so de- velop this old condition of bureaucrat- ic methods of the navy department be- fore the court of inquiry as to create sensa ton if not a naval scandal which will compel cdnplete overhauling of the department, whatever the result of the inquiry into Schley's insubordi- nation. It is also anticipated that such revelation will be made as to increase the public feeling that Schley is the victim of bureaucratic jealousies.
 Wealthy men in New York and Bos- ton have taken up the cause of Schley and stand ready to contribute all the money needed for the employment of counsel, and it is intimated that there will be other great lawyers in the case when it comes to hearing.

M. Waldeck-Rousseau, the president of the French cabinet, is fond of sport. He likes yachting, particular ly if there are congenial companions on board. But it is the good, old fashioned sport of fishing that he likes best. He is a fisherman enrage.

AFTER VESTS SEAT.
Many Missouri Statesmen Are Anx. ious to Be Elected to the United
 States Senate.

The fight for United States senator in Missouri promises to develop some surprises and the successor of Sena- tor George Graham Vest may not be one of the men so prominently men tioned for the honor at the present time. As a matter of fact, the chances are that a dark horse will carry away the honor. According to current newspaper reports Gov. Dock cry has built up a machine in the state that his friends are confidently relying upon to land him in the GOV eted homer. But ex-Gov. William Joel Stone has fixed his rural fences in such stable manner that Dockery, ex-Gov. Stephens or ex-Gov. Francis cannot shatter them, and this, more than any one other cause just at present, is giving the other candi- dates great deal of concern.
 A correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle writes from St. Joseph that a scheme has just been started in northern Missouri to secure as dark horse man who is known to be the intimate friend of each candidate. It has been taken up by democratic leaders in St. Louis and Kansas City who are anxious to be identified with the success of the winner. This dark horse is Judge O. M. Spencer, of St. Joseph, who for several years has been the general solicitor for the Burlington railway lines in Missouri. Judge Spencer is urged to permit the use of hls name for the exalted post, but he has steadily declined to be con sidered as a candidate, saying that for financial reasons he cannot afford to get into the race. His friends and admirers are persistent, and the tip has just been passed around that he will accept the honor if properly ten dered him, although he declines to make a campaign for it.

A practical and easily constructed life-saving device has now been invent ed. It consists of a compressed air mattress which is made rigid by means of four blanks of wood, one along each side, and which is further strength ened by copper fastenings that hold the blanks in place. Into the interior of the mattress the necessary mate rial for bedding is introduced, and to prevent it from being displaced light ashen laths cross the mattress at reg ular intervals, and the whole is kept rigid by strong bamboo rod.

When Schley failed to execute Crowninshield's orders as he thought they should be he criticised him to the secretary, particularly when Sch1ey turned back from Santiago to go to Key West to coal That criticism constituted the beginning of the Samp- son-Schley eycontroversy Crowninshield was born in New York in 1843, was graduated from the naval academy in 1863 and was immediately assigned to the Ticonderoga. He participated in both attacks on Fort Fisher, became lie1tenant in 1866, lieutenant com mander in 1868, commander in 1880 and captain in 1894. He commanded the Maine in 1897 and was relieved by Capt. sigsbS. sena tor Eodge has been a warm frfegad of the captain for years, and Crowninshield's appoin%ment. to the chiefship of the bureau of naviga- tion in 1897 is attributed to the inf1u- ence of the assachusetts senator.

 ''This mattress boat," says the in- ventor, ''can be used in place of the ordinary mattress on transatlantic or other vessels. In this way passen- gers can immediately lay their hands on rafts which will prove of infinite service to them in case of shipwreck. It can also be used by explorers as an ordinary sleeping couch, and, further more, it has for them the additional advantage that it can be easily raised above the ground and thus enable them to avoid coming in contact at any time with the damp earth. In such cases, however, the space between the mattress and the earth should be filed with dry leaves or small branches of trees. Moreover, as boat of this kind cannot sink, explorers would find it extremely useful in crossing rapid rivers or other streams"
 The inventor has made several tests of this novel craft, and all of them have proved successful.

 They are devout women and Fru Andree invokes grace before each meal. And, oh, Lord, keep Thy serv- ant, my son, and return him safely,'' she has ended her prayer every day for these four years. "Amen! Amen!" responds Fru Spanberg.
 It is impossible to describe the glow of pride and satisfaction which spreads over the kindly face of the mother when she exhibits the first shoe her son wore, when she points out the first prayer-book he used, when she holds up to your inspection the white tie he wore at his confirma- tion. And when she opens the drawer and takes out the various parchments which testify to the success of her son in high school and university, when she handles the various medals he received, when she asks you to read the hattering letters in which countless scientific societies notified him of his election as one of their members, then, indeed, you see in her motherhood glorified.
 Has there ever been a mother more blessed than I?'' she asks, and it must be said that her face gives the answer. From boyhood on my boy has felt that, like the apostles of old, he must go to parts unknown and preach the Gospel. Not in the same way as the regular missionaries. Oh, no! He was never much of talker. But God gave him the capacity and opportunity to study, and that is also one way to make Gods goodness known. Yes, he was to find the north pole, and by his discovery of this much-sought-after region to testify before the world of the greatness of our Lord
