An odd Little Parish.

The parish Of Upper Eldon, In Hants,
England, is probably unique among the
parishes of the United Kingdom. 1t is
situated about five miles from Romsey
and boasts a population Of ten. The vii
lage church stands in the center Of the
farmyard of one Of the two houses In the
parish, and the farmyard Is also the VII
lage cemetery. The building dates from
the eleventh century and contains read
ing desk, communion table and rails and
FIVE pews, but does not boast a pulpit.
The living is of the annual value of $22o,
but there is not at present an incumbent.
Occasionally a clergyman will visit the
district or pass through on walking
tour. The bell will then be rung, and the
parishioners will attend an impromptu

A young tenor singer of London was
asked recently at smoker" to favor
the company with a song. He gave a
very fair rendering Of the once popular
"Happy Be Thy Dreams" but did not
aspirate the letter "h" once. When he
had finished, he resumed his seat, which
was next to one occupied by baldhead-
ed old man, who bluntly remarked:
'You have a good voice. young man,
but you didn't sound one single h. and

Quaint Hannibal Hamlin.

To the day of his death Hannibal
Hamlin was a figure that men would
turn and look at a second time on the
street. His tall form, which in old
age was but slightly bent, was always
clothed in the old fashioned black
swallowtail suit, and he always wore
a tall silk hat, generally back num-
ber," tilted slightly back on his head.
For years he was famous as man
who never wore an oyercoat, and to
his death he never burdened himself
with that, to him, unnecessary gar
ment except on the most severely cold
days. For a half century he never
changed the style Of his clothes. He
walked with swinging gait and had
so many friends and acquaintances to
whom he had to bow that smile seem
ed to be ever on his face.

But when the stomach ING vther orgaaa
Of digestion and nutrition are diseased,
the nutritive properties are not extracted
from food, the blood becomes poor, the
body lacks adequate nourishnient and
the flesh cfalls away" The weakness
consequent on this loss of nutrition will
generally find its expression in some one
organ which has been longest starved.
Thus as starvation causes weakness,
when the nutrition falls short of the

occur soon.
There is reason to- believe that the
United States government will adopt a
vigorous line of action in case the city
of Panama is attacked or there is any
interruption of the transit facilities of the
isthmus. Owing to treaty arrange

HEARD WILLIAM ]. BRYAN
GUEST OF HONOR AT CHICAGO
JACKSON DAY BANQUET.

CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-William ]. Bryan
was the guest of honor at the annual
banquet of the Andrew Jackson league
which was held tonight at the Sherman
house. 1t had been planned by the local
Democrats that a reception to Mr.. Bryan
should be made part of the days cele-
bration, but during the afternoon a tele-
gram was received from him saying that
1t would be impossible for him to reach
the city until late in the evening, and the
reception was therefore abandoned.
Mr.. Bryan did not arrive until tonight,
and was driven direct from the depot to
the banquet hall, where several hundred
of the members Of the league and their
friends, awaiting his arrival, greeted
him in enthusiastic fashion.
Mayor Harrison acted as POSTMASTER,
and it was long after 10 o'clock when
he raped for order, and in a neat speech
introduced Mayor Rose, of Milwaukee, as
the first speaker of the evening. Mr.. Rose
responded to the sentiment, Party 10y
atty, and his remarks were received
with much favor. Samuel Altschuler, the
Democratic candidate for governor of IlIi-
nois in the last campaign, was the sec
ond speaker, and he spoke on 1.-The State
We Live In" He made a clever and hap
py address, as did Judge Edward F.
Dunno, of Chicago, who replied to the
toast, Retrospect and Prospect" Some
of the preliminary addresses were of con-
siderable length, and 1t was after mid
night before Mr.. Bryan, who had the
the last place on the programme rose to
make his address.

Ala, for some weeks past on account of
the rejection of material. Recently the
troubles between the two men were made

TNENIY-E|GRT ARE DEAD
ROCHESTER, ORPHAN ASY-
LUM FIRE
FIRE ESCAPES INADEQUATE
Blaze Started From an Explosion In
the Engine Room and Spread
With Frightful
Rapfdity.

ROCHESTER, Jan. 8.-Twenty- eight
dead bodies lie at the morgue and twelve
others more or less seriously injured lay
a the different hospitals tonight as a
result of the terrible holocaust which oc-
CURED early this morning at the Roch-
ester orphan asylum. OF the dead, twen-
ty-six were children of both sexes, rang
ing in age from two to fourteen years,
while the remaining two were adults.
The first which was discovered at Ito
a. m. and was doubtless caused by an ex.
plosion of-gas in the boiler room adjo.n-
ing the west wing Of the asylum, spread
SO rapidly that many of the 109 inmates
of the institution were overcome by the
flames and smoke almost without warn
ing,
In all the long and dismal record OF
fatal fires in Rochester, none can be
found which can equal this one in It's
great horror in the pathetic scenes in
which so many lives werV blotted out, in
the gallant sacrifice of lMes OF the at
tendents, in whose care the children were
and in the sad scenes at the hospitals and
morgue.
That so many children were saved from
the burned wing of the building seems
little short Of miraculous and one mar
Veled today that the death roll was not
even larger. ,.
SCENE AT THE FIRE
The scene Immediately after the alarm
and the accompanying explosion was one
that turned the stoutest hearts. Firemen,
attendants and policemen sought to re-
lease the children from their perilous
position. The dormitories We're filed
with smoke from the fire and the little
ones were being slowly suffocated. Most
of those saved were lowered to the
: ground by means of ladders from the
second and third floors. The ambulance
of every hospital in the city reached
the scene almost as soon as the fire de-
partment, but they proved totally made
quate in providing for those rescued.
Many sufferers and the dead were re-
moved TO houses in the immediate neigh
bOrhood. There were awful scenes
around the asylum at this time. Most Of
those rescued from the burned building
were unconscious from the effects of the
smoke 1t soon became apparent that
the building was doomed. A general
alarm was sent in and the entire fire
department was soon on the scene. The
fire was stubbornly fought from every
available point, but it was over an hour
after its discovery before 1t was under
control.
WHOSE THE -RLAME
There was joint meeting of the board
of managers and the trustees of the
asylum i'll City Assessor Pord's office to-
cay Ihe meeting was hurrtedly called,
but the assessors large room was filed
to the doors with members of the board
and those interested in the institution
While all sorts of excuses We're put for
ward for the disaster there was unan-
unity in conceding that the managers
had been derelict in that there had not
been better and more complete system
of fire escapes provided One Thomas
c. Montgomery frankly expressed the
ODi-1iOn that the mana ha bear
negligent in that they did not employ
night watchman at the asylum and that
they had not had the building patrolled
nightly.
