The fair in aid of st. Vincent's Or
phanage, which was held at Elitch's
Gardens on last Saturday afternoon,
was largely attended, and it is esti-
mated that the net receipts are be-
tween $500 and $4,000 The amuse-
ment provided were of the customary
high-class and an unusual interest was
manifested in the affair. The success
of the picnic, of course, is due to the
jealous efforts of the ladies of st.
Nincent's Aid society. although many
others assisted materially.
This week there has been a three
days fete in aid of st. Anthony's hos
pital, which has been a splendid sue
cess. A neat sum was realized.
-
Robert Buckley, aged II years, was
buried from Logan Avenue chapel on
Sunday afternoon. Father Cornelius
O'Farrell conducted the services and |
preached the funeral sermon. A de- |
cidedly pathetic feature of the boys |
death was that his mother to whom |
he was particularly devoted, died less |
than two weeks previously. This fact, |
it is supposed, had, in a great man. /
ner, an effect on the boys health.

THINGS SEEN ABROAD.
MIR. Marsden Writes of His Trip to Eng
land
PROVIDENCE, r. I. Aug. Is, 1903.

I PROVIDENCE, r. [. Aug. Is, 1903.
At last I am on good American soil
again. We arrived in Boston on Sunday
evening, August 9th, and on Monday
morning [ started for Providence, r. l.,
where my wife was awaiting me, and
since that time [ have been visiting rela-
tives and friends suppose [ ought to
say something about England and Scot
land. Both countries are generally fine
and the buildings are built Of stone or
brick for durability. Some of them are
very old but in good condition. The
house called "the glass house" where [
was born in 1841, is in excellent condi-
ton. It interested me very much to see
my birthplace. We visited great many
cities and places of amusement, such as
fairs, cricket matches and races. The
stock of England and Scotland is extra
fine. | have not seen better. They are
of the best breeds and we'll groomed.
The crops on an average are fair. They
consist of wheat oats, barley, hay and
turnips. But their mode of farming is
far behind the Americans, the majority
of their machinery being ancient, such
as I should think was handed down from
Adams time. Hay is hauled on two
wheeled carts with two horses one ahead
of the other, and two men leading them.
The cart and harness alone weigh 1850
pounds. I do not like their mode of
farming. They are at the least calcula-
ton fifty years behind the Americans,
but it is hard to make them believe it.
They can't get out of the old ruts. The
people are very kind and treated us in
the best of STYLE and glad to see US and
talk of America and our mode Of farm
ing. It amused me to see from ten to
twelve men and women in one field turn
ing hay with the common hand rake,
where one man and team with a tedder
would do more in three hours than the
twelve would do in one day. The fields
are very small, generally from one to six
acres. The roads in the cities and coun-
try are of the best, covered with cinders
and broken stone and rolled down. They
are kept in the finest condition. The
fields are fenced by stone walls and
hedges. Game is plentiful in most
places. We visited numerous parks and
gardens, also some machine shops, FOUL
| dries etc. Our passage over and back
was very pleasant one and we had
very nice lot of passengers on board. We
had no rough sea to speak of. In the
British Channel we saw England's war
fleet. think this is the last trip on the
old Atlantic ocean for me, it takes SO
long time to cross. We were eight days
and seven hours in crossing over to Liv
erpool. We returned on the Msyhower.
Respectfully yours,

WAITING JANESVILLE'S ACTION.



Members of the party of Milton and
Milton Junction citizens who Eesieged
FL. H. Clough in his Beloit offices Mon
day declare that it is up to the James
vile common council whether or not the
Clough interests will build an extension
, to Madison. They say that be made the
statement that unless the council agreed
to extend the franchise period from 35 to
SO years he would not consider building
the proposed extension.
In general the members of the party
from the twin cities were highly elated
over the outcome Of the trip. MIR Clough
said that he had never seriously consid-
cred any route to Madison save that
which lay through the two cities In
making the surveys other routes were
mapped and the probable results of the
various proposed lines calculated, but
business seemed to demand that the
road EN- brace both Milton and Milton
Junction.
Difficulty has been experienced in at
tempting to finance the road for a period
so short as IS years. Among the alder
men the sentiment appears to be largely
in favor of making that concession, al
though they do not view with favor the
other stipulations of the proposed
amended ordinance which relieves the
interurban company Of number of con-
ditions which were valuable to the city.

Lightning Destroys Farm Property.
lightning struck the large barn on the
farm of Antoine Olson in the town of AL
bion Sunday morning, starting a fire
that destroyed several hundred dollars
worth of property, about six o'clock. Mr..
Olson was in the building milking at the
time and was Frustrated by the shock as
we'll as most of the stock. He recovered
from the shock before the fire gained
much Roadway and released the COWS
from their stanchions and the horses in
another part of the barn. He had just
threshed and his grain and winters sup
ply of hay were destroyed by fire that
quickly consumed the buildings But
for the heavy rain that was falling sew
eral other buildings in close proximity
would also have gone up in smoke.
Neighbors were soon on the ground and
assisted in holding the flames from
spreading, and by dint of hard work
stacks of straw close at hand were saved.
The loss, which viii foot up close to
$1,000, is partly covered by an insurance
of 5000 in the Town of Albion company.
A portion of big bin of oats that were
stored in the barn will be saved as the
fire did not penetrate the pile far.
During the storm Sunday morning
lightning struck two stacks of oats on
Sam Bakers farm near the west church,
in Pleasant Springs township. The bun
dies were scattered about in the rain by
Mr.. Baker and assistants, but neverthe-
less considerable loss was sustained as
the lightning had penetrated through to
1.-The ground.

GRAVES BEING ROBBED.
Anti Saloon Movement at Durham Growing
Rapidly.
Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Durham, N. c., March 16.-Superior
Court convened here this morning with
Judge w r. Allen, of Goldsboro, on the
bench. There is a very small docket
Mrs. Ella r. Mccain was granted a di-
vorce from her husband, John r. Mccain,
at this mornings session.
Arrangements are being made by the
Durham Catholics to erect handsome
church edifice here some time in the near
future. 1t is said that a building to
cost some ten thousand dollars is to be
erected.
The temperance move is being pushed
by those opposed to the whiskey traffic
and tNo cause is gaining ground.
At the First Baptist church last night
Rev. C. J. Thompson, the pastor, urged
every male member of his church to join
the Anti-Saloon League. He referred
to the great harm being done by the
open saloons and said that he had learned
since coming to Durham that for every
graduate of Trinity College that the sa-
looms of Durham were turning out two
drunkards
The league now has somewhere in the
neighborhood CT three hundred and three
hundred and fifty members, all voters.
1t was learned today that several old
graves in one burying ground in Oak
Grove township have been robbed recent
ly, the supposition being that the ghouls
were in search of jewelry. One grave,
that of Royner Watkins, who was bury
led in March 1849, was opened and the
coffin scattered around on the ground.
On the grave was a large slab and this
could not have been moved by one man.
The people are wrought up over the
matter
