OBITUARY.
pr. Jo.eph Parker. london.

London, Nov. 2S.-Dr. Joseph Parker,
minister of the City Temple. who has
been seriously i'll for some time past,
died at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
Dr. Parker's end came peacefully.
He had been in extremis for several
days past and had taken no nourish-
nlent since Wednesday. He rallied on
Thursday night giving the doctors
hope that he might live few DAYS
longer. He retained consciousness to
the last.
A simple white card, without a
black border, hangs on the door Of his
residence at Hampstead, inscribed "At
5 O'Clock p. m. DR.. Parker assembled"
DIR. Parker suffered from a cOmpli-
cation of ailments, the most serious
of which affected his heart and was
the immediate cause Of death. He had
been afflicted with insomnia, not hav-
ing enjoyed a natural sleep for six
weeks. His amazing vitality and
strength of constitution led his friends
to hope for his recovery, and he him
self only abandoned hope few days
ago.
He took no farewells, as he was un-
able to talk much during the past
three days. He asked for a piece of
paper and tried to write, but the words
were ilIegible. During his last hours
he took evident pleasure in the singing
Of hymns by those around his bedside.

the rim of the supposed crater the wa
ter is a great many fathoms deep.
Again, in the small lake there are
species of fish not found in the big body
of water. The mysterious pool yields
up black bass Weighing as much as six
and one-half pounds. On the other
hand. few of the fish found in Lake
Michigan are ever caught in the deep
hole in the island.
| The first indication that the island
was in danger of disappearing appear
ed a month ago. At that time II was
] discovered that the shoal sands ex-
4 tending; two miles out from the west
ern point OF the crescent were covered
| to a greater depth than formerly. Lines
let down near some of the buoys
showed a like change. This was not
regarded as being unusual. for the
waves are constantly shifting the sand
deposits.
About two weeks ago, however, the
beach near the lighthouse appeared to
be slightly changed. The water had
crept farther around the boathouse at
the life saving station. Lines let down
from tugboat showed the water to
be nearly twenty feet deep. The fol-
lowing night the boathouse was swa1-
lowed up. With II a long strip of beach
disappeared.
as clear as on the day before. Many
said that the beach had slipped into
the lake. but others pointed out that
had that been the case the clay and
sand would be mixed with the water.
A hurried trip was made to the lake.
The investigators believed they would
find the water gone. and only an abyss
NAL pit remaining. The lake, however.
was as placid as ever, and a number
of Hollanders, who had been fishing
since daylight, declared they had no.
ticed no peculiar phenomenon.
The entire population of the island
then flocked to the beach. The MEM
bers of the life saving crew and the
lighthouse tender expressed the belief
that the entire point would soon be
completely submerged. The islanders
dispatched a boat to Sleeping Bear
point on the mainland of the lower pen
insula Of !. Michigan, and asked Capt.
Lafberg to visit South Manitou.
Capt. Lafberg, who is well versed in
nautical affairs, was greatly alarmed
over the change he saw in the beach.
He warned the people to leave the
island at moments notice. The Hol-
landers laughed at him. They have al
ways lived on the island in perfect Sc
curity, and secuted the idea that the
high sand hills would ever be sub
merged. They were told that many
oceanic islets had disappeared sudden
ly and In a manner that defied expla-
nation.
AS soon as he returned to Sleeping
Bear point Capt. Lafberg sent word to
Washington that in his opinion great
disaster was in store for South Mani
tou Island. He said that the water at
points about the land had increased in
depth from three to thirty feet and that
the bed of the lake was greatly
changed.

TWENTY-FIVE MILLION
FEET OF LUMBER
Were Destroyed In n Great Fire In
Ontario.


Ratportage, Ontario, Nov. 2S-One
of the worst fires that ever visited the
Ratportage lumber district started at
Norman, near here, his afternoon, and
notwithstanding every effort, the
flames spread swiftly through immense
piles of lumber to the docks and from
the. docks to boats, until stopped in
that direction by the waters edge
Dense showers of sparks were car
ried inland toward the residence Sec
tfon of the city, and one by one the
houses went up in flames and smoke.
When this dispatch was sent the fire
was still burning
Twenty-Five million feet of lumber
were destroyed, as well as Lemay's
shipyard. six steamboats,, two barges,
eleven dwellings and one stable
The boats burned are Phantom, ST.
600; Kenen, $4,000; Spray, Pearl, Mid
get and Deystar, 81 900 each.
3 p. ma number of wooden struc-
lures in the path of the fire were des-
troyed and the progress of the flames
was checked. A dozen houses and
barns were destroyed The lumber
yards are great masses of glowing EN-.
bers, but there appears to be no fear
of a further spread of the fire.
No accurate estimate. of the loss can
be secured tonight.

LAND OF THE ANGELUs.
Landscapes i'm and the Religious De-
cline of Normandy.
From the London Express.

Landscapes In and the Religious De-
cline of Normandy.
From the London Express.
There is much in the Normandy
country to bring to mind Millets most
famous picture; much also to recall
that other picture of his-less known,
but no less loved by those who do
know 1.-THE Woodcutters."
Around the seacoast country OF
which / am writing stretch tier upon
tier of hills. yellow. when / first saw
them last year, with wheat or oats or
barley, or green with clover and sugar
beet; but wheat predominates. The
fields are not so much separated by
hedges as in England, and one gets
therefore more frequently and upon a
bigger scale the open-air feeling in
duced by great expanses of earth and
sky, which explains the charm of Mil
let's "Angelus"
All the elements of that picture are
here. The horizon is dotted throughout
the long days-and at harvest time
they are very long days for the peas
ants-with silhouettes of the patient,
Woodworking Norman folk. Save that
the men make sometimes bright patch
es with blue shirts and trousers and
bright red sashes there is not much
gaiety In this human addition to the
view; and there is always a suggestion
Of sadness in the woman workers.
Their dresses lack color, their faces
and bent shoulders are eloquent Of
monotonous labor.
Particularly does one receive this
impression at the frequent sight upon
the edge of the forest OF an old wo-
man, wonderfully wizened and hard
of feature. bending with head almost
upon level with her knees, under the
weight of huge bundle of faggots tied
upon her back
But-and here again one is reminded
of Millets work-the somberness of the
inhabitants, though tinged with mel
ancholy, has none of the gloom of the
factory or the SUM. there is always
the healthy naturainess. of the country
side. To complete the resemblance
there Is mostly somewhere in view the
village church, showing a quaint, slate
covered steeple through O clump of
trees, whence twice or thrice a day
the bell reminds the faithful of the
central fact of their religion.
But have not observed here the de-
Vout attitude of the two human figures
In the picture Of the Angelus. Per-
haps for that we should go TO Brittany
where the folk have preserved better
the old spirit Of devotion that seems
to be the case In Normandy.
Englishmen fall into error when they
assume devout Catholicism to be an
essential factor in the lives OF the
French people. I should say that a
considerable majority of the inhabi-
tants Of the village from which 1 am
writing do not even trouble to go to
mass on Sundays, though their relig-
Ion forbids abstention under pain OF
mortal sin. and the church would at
least bring some relief to the monoto-
ny OF their existence

OF Capt. Davis, also practiced on
Franklin Field this afternoon. The
players were put through signal drill

''Middies."
The West Point cadets are full of
confidence, and hope to win easily. The
navy expects to get a beating but
Jim" Robinson, the Princeton trainer,
who is looking after the men, said they
will play hard and put up a fighting
game from beginning to end.
"A large number of visitors from New
York. Washington and other large
cities are already in town. \ large
party of officers of the army and navy
are expected to arrive from Washing
ton Tomorrow
President Roosevelt, who attended
