ner of Broad ard Pearl streets, New
York. 1t is five stories in height, al
though during the Revolution it boast
ed but three. This is Fraunce's tav-
ern. otherwise Black Sans, and is
more closely associated with the IA
ther of His Country than any other
building on Manhattan Island. Its
walls are thick and still firm. The eX-
act date of its erection is lost, but 1t
was about 1730, and the Delaney
family were the owners and occupants.
In 1862 Samuel FEaunce opened it as
an inn, and it speedily became a pop
ular resort with the lively young spir-
its of the day. A number of these
formed themselves into an organiza-
ton known as the Social club and
made Black Sans their Saturday
night rendezvous, passing the bowl
sometimes until the good folk of the
city were preparing their Sunday
breakfast.
Black Sans prosperity continued
throughout the war, and his place re-
manned open during the entire time of
the British occupation, for, although
he was known to favor the cause of
the sons of liberty, his jovial nature
made him a favorite with the Tories
as well, and the excellence of his fare
secured for him a liberation which he
might not otherwise have enjoyed.
When the forces of George III.
evacuated New York more than one
officer stopped at Fraunce's on the
way to the Battery for parting drink.
Sam saw the last of them sail down
the bay, and shortly afterward had

MAN,s BEST FRIEND.

We are asked how it is that a bolt
of electricity will do such wonderful
and extraordinary things in such an
infnitesimal period of time-tear a
tree to slivers, make wreck of a
building, melt iron and copper and all
the long list of seemingly impossible
things which we know that it does.
The wisest men are puzzled as to this
natural force. While in almost univer-
sal use as the tractable servant of
man, no man yet knows what it is. 1t
is said that the bolt which falls from
the summer cloud exercises for frac-
ton of time so brief that ordinary fig
ures can give it no expression a power
equal to that of 100000 horses, which
will give some explanation of the re-
markable work which it does. This
subtle. unknown and unknowable ele-
ment which riffs the summer cloud

The Paris Family of Maine Has a
Musket With Unique Record.
In the old home of Ex-Governor Al.
bion Keith Paris at Paris Hill, Me-,
are many curios picked up by members
of this representative family in all
quarters Of the globe But the most
highly priced relic is fiintIock musket
that did service through the Reyolu-
ton and is today in good state of
preservation.
1t has been in the possession of the
Paris family for over 125 years and
has been fired on every independence
day. 1t was first notably discharged
when the Declaration of independence
was signed.
Every Fourth of July since that mem
orable day some member of the family
has observed this patriotic custom and
saluted the anniversary of the coun-
try's birth by loading the antique arm
and firing it just at dawn.
On one occasion few years ago all
of the male members of the family
happened to be away from home on
the Fourth. A son in Philadelphia,
however, remembered the custom and
wired home. do not forget to fire
gun" 1t was not forgotten.
Ex-Governor Paris received the
musket from his father, Samuel Par
ris, who was an officer during the Rev
olution. The musket was used ON the
British at Bunker Hill and carried all
through that unequal struggle.
Last year it was tied to a fence and
discharged by means of a redhot poker.

THIS DAY 148 YEARS AGO.
Five Days Later the Battle of Brad
dock Was Fought and Lost.

Five Days Later the Battle of Brad
dock Was Fought and Lost.
The Fourth of July, 1855, was an
important day in the annals of this
country. On that day General Edward
Braddock was within five days easy
march of q field on which he was to
fight battle that might almost be
said to have decided the ownership of
the vast territory afterward to be
known as the United States, a battle
that may have had much to do with
settling what language was to be spo-
ken in the land. Though Braddock
was badly defeated, his soldiers and
the English speaking colonials put to
rout and himself mortally wounded,
that battle virtually led to direct
declaration of war by England against
France, out of which after several
years bloody conflict came the treaty
of Paris, giving England mastery Of
the greater portion of that territory
now comprised within the limits of the
territory over which Theodore Roose-
welt presides.
From the diary of Robert Orme,
Braddock's aid-de-camp and Washing
tons friend, we learn of the actual
movements and doings of Braddock
and some of his men on that memora-
BILE Fourth of July Writing on that
date, Orme says:
1--WE marched about six miles to
Thicketty run. From this place two
of our Indians were prevailed upon to
go for intelligence toward the French
fort Ouquesne, afterward Fort Pitt
and also unknown to them) Gist, the
generals guide. The Indians returned
on the 9th and brought in a French
officers scalp who was shooting within
half mile of the fort. They informed
the general that they saw very few
men there or tracks, many additional
works, that no pass was possessed be-
tween us and the fort and that they
saw some boats under the fort and
one with a white flag coming down
the Ohio allegheny. Gist returned a
little later the same day, whose ac-
count corresponded with theirs, ex-
cept he saw smoke in valley. He had
concealed himself with intent of get
ting close under the fort, but was dis
covered and pursued by two Indians,
who had very near taken him."
Orme was wounded in the battle
which followed five days later. Upon
his recovery he returned to England.
He married Lady Townsend, the event
arousing much gossip in high social
circles on account of a previous ar
rangement between the iady's family
and Lord George Lennox by which she
was to become the bride Of tile latter.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
II used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.

by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
