Death of William SIade.

/The gainesville (O.) Evening Tele-
graph of Sept % has the following to say
of the death of William Slade:
Hon. William Slade died at his apart
ments at the New Cowles House at Z
o'clock Wednesday morning of gastric
fever, after an illness lasting only a few
days. The remains will be taken to
Cleveland and inferred by the side of his
wife and children at Woodland cemetery
The deceased was born in Middlebury,
VT, in 1916, and was therefore in his
eighth fifth year. He was the son of
Governor William Slade, whose name
stands high among the prominent men of
the Green Mountain state. He studied
law and was admitted to the bar. He
married one of Middlebury's most promi-
nent young ladies, and three children were
horn to them. The children all died of
typhoid fever and Mrs. Slade passed away
about ten years ago. They are buried at
Woodland cemetary, Cleveland.
President Lincoln appointed Mr.. Slade
United States consul at Nice, France.
RETURNING from Europe at the end of his
term, Mr.. Slade and wife came to Paines-
vile and spent several summers at the
Cowles House. They later made their
home In Cleveland, where he practiced
law and took an active part in politics,
being elected to the general assembly as
state senator from Cuyahoga county.
During President Cleveland's first ad-
ministration he was appointed consul to
Belgium, resigning and returning to
America shortly before the expiration of
his term.
About three years ago Mr.. Slade again
came to gainesville and has since re-.
sided at the New Cowles. He told
his few intimate friends, several of them
friends of early days, that he had realized
that he had only short time to live and
had come here to pass the last days OF
life at the scene of former happy days
near the graves of his loved ones, beside
whom he desired his last resting place to
be. Hon. II. c. Gray, one of the old-timt
friends of the decea 'ed, was called here
from Cleveland the first of the week by
letter from Mr.. Slade written on Satur
day, and spent Tuesday with his dyins
friend. Mr.. Gray will carry out the las
requests of the deceased.

the fact that the first Decoration day

The speakers were James NJ. Slade, ex.
Gov. Stewart and President Kitchel OF

cluded The planting of two elm trees al

\ TRANCE CT tom in a Greek Island.

A very strange custom still prevails,
as it has prevailed for centuries, on
Telos, a little island about ten miles
west Of Rhodes. The island. which Is
inhabited by Greeks, is an out Of the
way place. No steamer ever anchors
there, and only very seldom does a
boat come there from Rhodes The re-
suit of this isolation is that the island
ers live practically the saE, life as
their ancestors have lived for centu-
ries. Many curious customs they have,
but most curious is the one to which
Friedrich Won ElncenZ, the only trav-
eler who has visited the island for a
very long time. has just drawn atten-
ton.
The eldest daughter Of a family In
Telos is her parents sole heir, and she
gets everything, while her brothers
and sisters get nothing. In the

1lottOin os. Pit in the I'aIf.atIcA

Hundreds of thousa rds Of New
Workers gaze at the Palisades, on the
New Jersey side Of the Hudson every
day, but not ore in ten thousand
knows there is over there a bottom
less pit, as great a curiosity in it's way
as is the caldron in the Devils Lake
region of California. 1t is situated in
West New York, about three miles
north of HOboken, on the summit Of
the Palisades At this point the TOP
of the ridge is c27 feet above the top
of the level of the Hudson River al
its base.
This pit apparently ends in water,
which rises and falls with the tides
in the Hudson. but the attempts Of the
authorities. as we'll as Of private indi-
vidua1s. to fill it up have proved FL
tile. 1t is still there, and the trees,
rock AMI earth that have been dumped
into it have disappeared as if into the
bowels Of the earth. Soundjngs have
been made, but no stable bottom has
been found
The West New York authorities sev-
eral years agO thought they had sue
ceeded in finding a bottom. They had
thrown into the water I large quantity
of rec tops. and upon these had heap
ed a pile OF stone. This sank to .
certain depth and then appeared TO e
stationary. On top OF this were de-
posted hundreds of carloads o. earth,
with logs crosswise, thus making \
goadway over which trucks and V hi
cleS passed
The next morning, however. there
wasn't a trace Of the filling. The Wa
ter at the bottom Of the pit was as
clear as before. The surface Of the
lake covers about half an acre, but
there has never been a fish hauled
from its depths.
It stood in the way of the West
Shore Railroad. when it was ahouF to
be built in 1880. The road intend d
TO run it's tunel from the We3naw.1Pn
terminal to the opposite side Of the
Palisades, ct New Durham. directly
over this pit, but after the right o.
way had been bought, the compeny
had to abandon the route and go about
One thousand feet to the south.

HE MEANT WELL.
An ObliEinR Man Who Made an Em-

South Twelfth street. The landlady
said frankly to him: II will tell you,
sir, that my husband is worthless fell
low. l haze to support him, and he
sometimes comes home very late.
drunk. There is no other objection to
my house." The editor said this was
no matter and thought no more Of 1t
until q few nights later, when a great
uproar In the street awoke him. He
looked out of the window and saw q
man lying on the doorstep shouting rib
ald' things. "The husband" thought
the editor. "I'll go down and let him
in"
He ran forth in his pyjamas, grabbed
the husband by the neck and, jerking
him into the hallway, proceeded to drag
him up stairs. But the man made
strong objections to this treatment. He
howled oaths and abuse, kicked, strug-
gled, even pulled out handful Of the
young editors hair, but this was in
vain. for the youth Is strong and of a
determined mind, and he was bound
that he would do his landlady a good
turn.
He had got perhaps three parts Of
the way up stairs with his burden
when two heads were poked In the dim
light over the balustrade, and the land
lady's voice said, why, Mr.. Blank,
what are you doing"
The editor painted as he took fresh
hold and at the same time ducked n
sharp uppercut: I'm bringing your
husband up, ma'am. He's drunk again.
I'm sorry to say"
From the other head ON the landing
these words then issued in q deep bass
voice: what do you mean, young fell
Ter, by drunk againT I'm this lady's

Instantly realizing his mistake, the
