rington is set in a frame of
" factory chimneys. In what
Nv ever direction one looks
~ these tall brick stacks pierce
the sky ana with their
smoke throw a cloud over the hills
which form a sort of outer frame for
the busy picture. This smoke means
that the factories are busy at their
score OF varied tasks. and busy fac
tories spell prosperity for any town
that has them.
Although Torrington has been a
town under various names since 1884,
there is little of interest in the early
history and few relics of colonial days
remain. Its one claim for historic
fame lies in the fact that John Browa.
who was SO prominent In the early
days of the anti-slavery movement.
which resulted in the civil war. was
born in a quaint old farmhouse a
short distance from Torrington. The
house is now one hundred and twelve
years old and is remarkably well pre-
served. in spite of the fact that few
alterations have been made 1t is Wis
tied by all who go to the town. and
of it the people are most proud.
John Brown lived in the old house
until he was five years old. Then
his father moved to Kansas with his
family. The friend OF the black man
made several visits to his birthplace
and was pleased to find a growing
anti-slavery movement. In 1887 the
lines between the opposing parties
were closely drawn. and several fights
occurred at Wolcotlville when the
anti-slavery adherents tried to hold
meetings there. Brown paid Torring-
ton an extended visit about this time
and was most outspoken against slav-
cry. An old friend Of the family felt
called upon to warn him, according
to one Of the local traditions.

LANCASTER. Dec. 27.-The body o,
Jacob II. Bostic. the Pennsylvania Rail
road trackwaIker who was killed on Sat
urday night. December 1S. near Balm
bridge. was e1humed yesterday in the
Maytown Cemetery. and Coroner Wilmer
conducted a post-mortem examination in
the hope Of finding evidence that would
lead to the detection of the murderers.
The district attorney believed THAI
Bostic had first been shot. and the be.
lief proved correct. for a twenty-five
caliber bullet was found In the base Of
the brain. It is now conjectured that the
murdereTs first shot their victim ana
that the bullet not proving effective. he
was then dubbed to death, the club be-
ing found near the scene OF the crime
Strong evidence has been secured
against Clarence Mccoy and William
Guterman. who are in Jail awaiting

A nile TO the northwest Of Delhi is a

gallant exploits on the part Of the Brit

the mutineerg in the memorable cam

There is also in the town a large boot

.ALASKANS TO PRESS
TERRITORY'S CLAIMS
Many Abuses Alleged to EX-
ist There.

Before Congress adjourns large rep
rescutaticn cf AlasKeas will arrive here
to press the claims of that territory for
amended laws 10 take he place Of many
they now claim are unjust and unrca-
sonablc. Already there are a number OF
AIaskans on the scene ard all are busy
interviewing the Senators and Repre-
gcntatives as &c the proposed changes.
Although there are but 5000 people
on the peninsula the thought OF State
hood is in the mind Of almost every cit
izen. and IL may not be many years un-
I'll they Will make the appeal fer admis-
sion. At present. however. the time Of
the lobbyists now in The city is occu-
pied in urging amendments to the tax
laws.
Just think. said one Alaskan last
night, that every mile OF railroad built
in Alaska is taxed S1cO. while in the
Western States as much as $1,000 bonus
is given for every mile Of railroad con-
structed. Alaska pays into the United
States 100000 in taxes every year, and
that sum is far IN excess OF the States
themselves. prorortiona;ely.
Every month secs new faces In our
country and # will be but few years
until we will have 100000 people in
Alaska. Alaska Will produce more gold,
I predict, than all the rest OF the
world. 1t will be but a brief period
until all her output will nave ex-
ceeded that Of California in all tht
years OF that States production.
we are opposed to the methods Of
the United States officials In Alaska. or
a part of them at least. I am here
to complain OF the actions Of some of
the deputies who have willfuly violated
the laws they are supposed 10 enforce
They have even conuived to rob miners
out OF their claims. and in many cases
have succeeded.
IF the Government Will only send
us good honest marshals and deputies
and compel them 10 look after the du-
ties Of their Offices instead Of trying
TO enrich their pockets We will have
the best country in the whole world
II they do not. then the Government
must expect 20 abide by the results
OF the quick judgment which some OF
those rough miners are likely to mete
out. "

India is par excellence the land OF
display. This characteristic prevails
throughout the length and breadth OF
the country. il is reflected in the gen

towns. and in the dress Of the natives

oriental mind a gorgeous setting IS OPP

is in prOgress-such as the forthcoming
durbar ceremony--it Is conducted on the
most elaborate scale.
The city OF Delhi has been selected as

memorable durbar at which Queen Vic

The arrangements in force on
this historic occasion will to a great
extent serve as a precedent in the forth

that the fact that the 1903 durbar is a
