EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND STARVED
TO DEATH.

A newspaper clipping, brown with
age, yet intact and readable, telling
of "a Year Without a Summer" is
in the possession Of Major William
II. Talcott, who recently rescued it
from the wall of his bookbindery,
says the Hartford Times. 1t was
cut from the Times thirty or forty
years ago, pasted en- the wall and
had held its place all these years.
The clipping follows: "a Year
Without Summer" In the year
1916 there was sharp frost in every
month OF the year in the Northern
states. 1t was known as the year
without summer. The farmers
used to refer to it as eighteen hundred
and starve to death. In May ice
formed half an inch thick in Hart
ford, buds and flowers we're frozen
and corn vas killed In the adjacent
towns. Frost, ice and snow were
common in June throughout Con-
necticut, and the snow fell five in
ches deep in New York and Mass
achusetts ten inches deep on June

frost and ice. On the sth ice form
ed to the thickness Of a window glass
in Canton, Conn, and throughout
New England and Pennsylvania
corn was nearly all destroyed in
many sections. In August ice
formed half an inch thick in Litch-
field. A cold northern wind prevail.
ed nearly all summer, with heavy
rainfslls. Corn was frozen so that
a greater part was cut down and
dried in fodder. Farmers were OBJ

corn in 1875 for seed for the next

The Republican Party Does Not want
To Curb The Trusts.

The President declares his enmity
against the Trusts. But has he and
the Congress he has under him ex
hausted the means now at their
command against them1 Until they
have done so, shall they be taken
seriously1 Does man cry for fear
of starvation and leave uncaten

the Trusts which il now protects
shall be deprived of shelter.
q. 1t can rengthen the hands of

sion so that body may cffec,ually
interfere with the criminal con-
spiracy which exists between the
railroads and the Trusts, the purpose
of the conspiracy being to shut out
competitors.
8. II can amend the Sherman
Anti Trust law so as to make pros
ecution of the Trusts speedier, and
increase the penalties for infract tons
| Of the law.
The Department Of Justice, which
is wholly under the Presidents con-
troll, can do these things:
/. 1t can prosecute offenders
under the existing Sherman Anti
Trust Law in good faith and with the
same energy that Attorney General
Knox would have shown in prosecut-
ing any rascals who might have tried
to break into one of the Trusts for
which he was the attorney before he
took office.
.. The Department of Justice,
whenever it elects to do so, can
proceed against the Trust law
breakers criminally as we'll as civilly.
Antitrust talk without anti trust
action, Mr.. Roosevelt, amounts to
nothing. Or, to quote your own
language:
"Words are good when backed
up by deeds, and only So"
The Republican party for six
years has been in full possession Of
the Federal Government.
During that time it has done moth
ing to curb the Trusts.
Because the Republican party
owes its election to the campaign
fund contributed by the Trusts.

PAYING THE WEDDING FEE
Brooklyn Eagle.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Queer things happen in the ex-
perience of parsons. One of them,
while out of town was called back
by rush letter, telling him that
joyful couple waited him to be made
one. He took the first train for
home, and shortly after his arrival
the two presented themselves. After
the ceremony, the bride, who ap.
peared to be the business partner,
drew him aside and asked, "Parson,
how much will this be1"
"Oh, have no fixed charge for
weddings" answered the clergyman.
Anything you please.
''Well, say" continued the blush
ing fair, "can you change dollarr"
And, as Huckleberry Finn says,
che done it."
On another occasion happy
pair met at the clergyman's house,
and the bride got there first. In
order to speed them on their rosy
way as quickly as possible, the
clergyman started to fill out the
marriage certificate while waiting for
the husband to be. "And what is
the first name of the groomp" he
asked the young woman.
"Well, now, amt just sure, but
folks call him AL. l don't know
whether it's Albert or Alfred. I'll
have to wait and ask him."
So the paper could not be filed
till the groom arrived. Mustn't
she have caught him in rushf
One of the most remarkable yarns
of this sort is told of clergyman in
Brooklyn, and it is true. He was
called to his door one evening by a
stout pull at the bell, and found
there sailor and his sweetheart.
They had come to be married. He
performed the ceremony. At the
end IF it the sailor asked the amount
of the damage, and was told there
was no fixed charge. "Will a
dollar dor" asked the sailor.
Certainly"
The mariner considered for
minute, pulled some money half
way from his pocket, considered
again and thrust it back. Then
said he: "I'l see how she wears,
and il she's worth it I'll pay you
later"
The clergyman laughed and the
couple departed. A year or so later
he heard a noisy hail in the street,
and 10, there was the sailor crossing
to him with light bounds.
"Here's your dollar, parson," he
cried. "She's worth it,"
People wouldn't believe that in a
novel or play. but you can ask the
clergyman.

STORY OF ELEVEN POOR BOYS

John Adams, second president,

moderate means. The only start he
had was a'good education.
Andrew Jackson was born in a
log hut IN North Carolina, and was
reared in the pine woods for which
the state is famous.

yearsssof his life helping to dig a
living out of a new farm in North

New York farmer, and his home
was an humble one. He learned
the business Of clothier.
James Buchanan was born in a
small town in the Allegheny noun

wilderness.
Abraham Lincoln was the son OF
wretchedly poor farmer in Ken
lucky, and lived in log cabin until
he was al years old.
Andrew Johnson was apprenticed
to tailor at the age of ten years by
his widowed mother. He was

picked up all the education he ever
had.
Ulysses S. Grant lived the life of
village boy in plain house on the
banks OF the Ohio river until he was
seventeen years of age.
James A. Garfield was born in a
log cabin. He worked on the farm
until he was strong enough to-, use
carpenters tools, when he learned
the trade. He afterwards worked

salary and large family. The boys
had to earn their living.
William McKinley's early home

HOME or NO, Ell DEVICES.
How Eyerard u. wilton Runs His
Household by Electricity.

There is home in Shore View
Park, Jamaica, in the borough Of
Queens, New York, where nearly
all the household work is done by
electricity says the New York Herald
Everard b. Wilton, a retired hard
ware dealer and an inventor, &C.
cupies the home, and it was his
cunning hand that devised and set
in operation the many electrical APP
planes that evoke both the admira-
ton and awe of his nelghbors.
His meals are cooked by electri-
city, his baby is rocked by electro
city, his rooms. are swept and dust.
ed by electricity, his doors are
opened and shut by electricity, his
house and grounds are lighted by
electricity, the opening and closing
Of his front gate are controlled by
an electric button in the house,
telephones are in all the rooms and
connected with his stable, where
his horses arc curried by electricity.
There is an electric spanker to
which the youngsters are at times
introduced, and even the move
ments OF a flock OF pet pigeons
belonging to one OF the boys are
controlled by electricity, for the
doors Of the pigeon house are opned
and closed by current. Electrical
mosquito exterminators guard the
windows and doors.
After the family has retired for
the night an electrical burglar alarm
isset, and no one could surreptitious-
ly enter or leave the house or grounds
without setting in motion hundred
and one different devices, ringing
the electric alarms, lighting up the
house and grounds, tumbling every
body out of bed, starting the cradle
going end sounding an alarm in the
police station and the nearest FIRE
house.
All the power for all these many
tricks and contrivances is generated
by an innocent looking windmill
planted in the yard thirty feet back
OF the house, where it pumps water
all day and night and incidentally,
by means OF an endless chain device,
operates a dynamo, which is con-
nected with storage batteries.
Thus far only one Of Mr.. Wilton's
inventions has got the better Of him.
1t was an electric lawn mower.

Almost Ont of Jail

Madison, April z. What might
have been wholesale delivery OF
federal prisoners confined in the
county jail took place yesterday.
J. M. Francis had nearly cut his
way through the brick wall. He
was discovered by Turnkey Gus
Peterson just in time. He had
made saw of the case knife
with which he ate, and used a
table leg as hammer. Had he
escaped he would have probably
effected the escape of the other
government prisoners there.
Francis is awaiting trial for the
robbery of the postofice at
Whitehall last November.

Fire in Lumber plant.

Oshkosh, April 2.-The Paine
Lumber company sustained a loss of
about $4,000 by fire today in the
boiler room and dry kilns. For an
hour after the fire started, it seemed
as if the fremen had it under control,
but when the dry stock was once on
fire it began to blaze up. The roof
was burned off and portions of it fell
in, through which openings the flames
could leap through.
A portion of the floor fell in, but
machinery in the main plant was not
DESTROYED. The building damaged
controls the entire factory, and until
it is rebuilt it will be necessary to
close the entire plant, throwing sew
eral hundred men out of employment.
The loss is covered by insurance.
James Lewis, captain of No. hose
company. Assistant Electrician John
O'Conell and August Koehn, an en-
ploye of the Paine Lumber Company,
fell with a burning roof into the boil
er room, a distance of twenty five
feet and all escaped without serious
injury and Mr.. O'Connell with no
injury at all.

that struck the Irishman's fancy.
"And will yez tell me what yez
would tax me fer the loikes OF that?'
Twenty five dollars, said the clerk.
s:Twinty-fve dollars? Howly
