Old Town House.

give. The narrow, crooked streets of
the town lie along gray edges of rock
and one wonders where the flowers
that grace the little dooryards in sum-
mertime find soil enough for their
tender roots. The town rivals Boston
in the crookedness and the narrowness
of its streets. The little, storm-beaten
old houses stand close together as If
for protection against the gales that
sweep the rocky shores.
The history of Marblehead dates
back to 1888 when Allerton and his
mates built their rude cabins here
while they carried on the industry of
fishing, and for years every man and
boy in the town took to the sea- 1t
is still the home of fishermen, but
fishing is no longer the chief industry.
The first fisherman of Marblehead
came from no one knows where, but
it is certain that they were not of the
Pilgrim band that had to do with the
settling of Plymouth, nor were they
Puritans at all. They were a hardy,
fearless race Injured to hardships by
sea and land. They had none of the
New England conscience" of which
one hears as having been the FREEDOM
inant characteristic of the early set
tiers of the New England towns, for it
is known that they struggled whenever
they could and that they were not
particular as to their manners or their
morals.
TIE women could not have been
much better than the men, for it is
on record that the women of Marble
head once set upon two Indian women
who had been taken prisoners and
brutally murdered them as they were
coming out of the meeting house. And
it is said that when a stranger CHANGED
to appear among these rude and I'M
tutored fisher-folk, who were the early
settlers of Marblehead, he was more
likely to be stoned than treated with
ordinary courtesy
Marblehead played an important
part in the revolutionary war. 1t was
the home of Elbridge Gerry, Azor
Orne, John Glover and other noted
patriots, and the house of some of
these patriots are still standing. In
the town square may be seen monu-
ment erected to a brave Marblehead
man named James Mugford, who in
the stirring days of 1776 captured a
powder boat belonging to the British
fleet. The capture was made in full
sight Of the British feet and the pow
der boat taken safely to Boston, but
when the brave Mugford was again
going out to sea his boat was again
rounded by a number of the British
boats and he was mortally wounded in
the conflict that followed. His last
words were: Don't give up the YES
sell, You can beat them OFF,
In IT'S the town of Marblehead fur
nished and equipped 500 men for the
Continental army Most of the men
were hardy fishermen who did SPLEEN
did service for their country. In the
war of 1872 almost one-fifth of the
population of Marblehead men were in
the English prisons as prisoners of
war. The people of the Marblehead
of long ago have stood on the rocky

The combination lock of the large
vault of the adjutant generals office
is eccentric and goes astray without
any provocation. Mrs. Ella Prior, a
former attache of the office, went into
the vault yesterday afternoon, with
her infant child ip her arms, to use
the telephone, says Trenton IN. ID
dispatch to the Philadelphia Press.
She closed the door to shut off the
hearing of her conversation. When
she was through she discovered that

that she was locked in The office
employees had left, because it was a
half holiday, and she tried vainly for
several hours to make herself heard
She finally struck an idea, and

workmen were using cold steel on the

One will not find on all the Atlantic
coast a quainter seaport than old Mar
blehead. 1t somewhat resembles, in
some aspects, its very near neighbor,
Salem, and there are as many quaint
legends associated with it as there are
associated with the more widely
known town of Salem. The very at
mosphere of Marb1ehead is reminis-
cent of the past and there is nothing
modern about the old town with the
exception of the cottages of the sum-
mer resident, and few of these are
within the town proper Most of the
houses have an air of antiquity that

his hand at restoring the great pile,
but, in his grandson's opinion at least,
most of the old dukes improvements"
added little or nothing to the beauty of
the fabric, and they have been torn
down and entirely rebuilt in the course
of the recent operations. The parts
which have been added include two
great round towers, a new hall, with
open roof and heraldic windows, in the
antique style, and - private chapel or
namented with the costliest marble.
The castle stands on high ground and
is surrounded with a park taking in
miles of the surrounding country.
