of a committee of correspondence to
ascertain facts and determine upon
proper action when news was received
from Boston, in May, 1878, that the
liberties of the country were in peril.
The coat of arms given is that OF
Adam de Welles, baron, 1893. The
arms are or, a lion sable, rampant,
whose tail spread itself into two "dou-
BILE quevee," or double "queued." This
popularity of the tail is also noted In
the demi-lion sable of the crest. The
motto is Semper Paratus.
Another arms is described as ar
gent, a chevron voided azure between
three flames of fire; crest. a mailed
arm, clasping a drawn scimitar; motto,
Pro Dec ct Patria. These arms are
supposed to have been granted to the
family by Richard Occur de Leon, as
the name Wells is found in the list of
the knights crusaders who went with
him to the Holy Land. The arms,
motto and crest all tend to confirm
this supposition. Fire betokens zeal.
The great number of royal grants
of farms to the Wells family is en-
blematic expression of and reward for
services to the government in the po-
litical and historical movements of the
times in which they served.

never given him the slightest cause to

Ay, just there was the rub. If Miss

After the dope has been administer
ed to a horse a number of times the
animal becomes a fiend, just as men
contract the habit of opium-eating or
the injection of morphine. Such horses
will not race without the dope. In
time their appetites become impaired
and they become physical wrecks. Oc-
casionally they will run a good race
under the effects of a drug and the
next time perhaps will have no speed.
Then it is that the quantity of the
drug is increased, until, finally, so
much is given that the horse dies.
One of the most apparent signs of
an over doped horse is profuse perspi-
ration. AS soon as the drug begins to
act the horse breaks out into sweat.
The least walking exercise will cause
the animal to '1ather'' as if it had
been raced two miles at top speed on
a hot day. Its eyes begin to look un-
naturally brilliant and it becomes
nervous and sometimes savage. He is
anxious to run everywhere and any
where and can scarcely be restrained
from running away while going to the
post. Such cases are dangerous to the
life of the jockey, for the horse is
Just as likely to run into the fence as
it is to run straight.

hilaration will cause it to be fractions

was apparently "doped" became so I'M
ruly that the jockey who rode him dis
mounted and refused to ride in the
race. The field was started without the
horse and those who had bet on it,
knowing that il had been given
drug, lost thousands of dollars.

BEAT HIS SON TO DEATH.
Negro Father Used a Barrel stave
In His Awful Work.

Brunswick. Ga, June PA story of
murder in Camden county among ne
groes has reached the city, and Tom
Kelly of Halifax, that county, is
charged with the murder of his Is
year-old son.
The weapon used in the murder as
told by people arriving here yesterday
from Camden, was a barrel stave, and
the negro, without any cause what
ever, simply beat his boy to death, and
then, because the mother interfered,
he threatened her life.
1t seems that before leaving his house
Thursday Kelly tied the boy to a bed
stead in one of the rooms. The reason
for this action is unknown. The boy
remained tied to the bed post during
the entire day, but. by working on the
hard knot. he had about succeeded in
untying himself, when his father re-
turned home.
Entering the room, and seeing that
the boy was about to leave, THE man
secured a barrel stave and admins
tered a severe thrashing. The boy
never regained consciousness.
The mother. who was in the house.
entered the room and pleaded for her
sons life. but in vain She was in
formed that if she did not leave the
room she would he given a thrashing
equal to the one the boy was receiv-
ing.

OPERATING ON A SICK COBRA.

A. w. Rolker in July McClures.
A remarkable feat of snake surgery
took place recently in the New York
Geological Park under Curator Dit
mars. Magma, a splendid ten-foot
king cobra, had developed an abscess
next to one of her poison fangs, and
unless this were removed she would
die. To capture the dangerous reptile,
to force her jaws apart, and to cut
the abscess, was the problem. The cur
ator had a plan and he called for an
extra fat snake pill. When the stuffed
snake appeared it was distended to the
bursting point. In more than a month
the cobra had not touched food. Mr..
Ditmars summoned five keepers, arm
ed himself with a surgeons pincers,
and proceeded to the attack. Through
a circular aperture, protected with a
slide, the snake pill was threaded. The
hungry snake took hold of it at once.
Frequently she stopped, in evident
pain, but each time she resumed, I'M
til the long, black thing was half way
down her throat. This was the moment
to act. The door was thrown open and
before the cobra could disgorge her
self to fight, she was seized by the
head and throat. while other hands
grasped her body and tail. Then the
mouth was forced wide apart while
the pincers did their work, and the
finest specimen of cobra In captivity
was thus saved to the collection.

hence from alcoholic beverages. We
must avoid heated rooms, especially
when the atmospheric conditions are
bad. This means that we should not go
to crowded places indoors Heat eX
haustion or sunStroke under such con-
ditions may be acquired when the sun
is not shining just as easily as during
the day in the suns rays. 1t is not the
sun that does the harm, but the heat
The commonest cause of sunstroke
is, of course, over exertion in times of
great heat, and by over-exertion we
mean oVermental exertion as we'll as
over muscular eXertion.
If sunstroke were a desirable thing
for man to get and I wished to cause
an individual to have a sunstroke 1
would advise him as follows:
l. Borrow all the trouble you can so
as to fret and exhaust your mind and
then try to drown it with plenty of al
coholic drink. The kind is not essen
tial, any kind will do.
2. Go to some crowded place of
amusement the day before a hot spell
of weather is expected, and the fol-
lowing day keep on the sunny side of
the street and exercise vigorously.
8. Wear warm, uncomfortable cloth
ing while doing this.
These directions, by indicating what
may cause sunstroke, show how one
may avoid it by following just the op-
uosite advice.
One of the best means of avoiding a
sunstroke is to keep the body in a re-
freshed condition by means of a cool
bath on arising in the morning. and a
brisk rubbing with a coarse towel aft
erward. This procedure refreshes and
invigorates and enables one to go
through a day fairly comfortably.

HOW TO AVOID SUNSTR0KE.
DIR. Cyrus Edison, of New York, Gives
Hot-Weather Advice.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal.
The forecast of the weather for the
next three months, made from expert
ence of the past, would indicate that we
are to have an unusually hot summer.
The average daily temperature Of the
early spring was below the usual con-
ditions and to maintain an average
must have some high thermal condi-
tions. and these may persist over
considerable period of time.
Very high, dry heat is not as likely
to cause heat exhaustion or sunstroke
as is a lower degree combined with
high degrees of humidity.
In order to convey an idea as to
what sunstroke or heat exhaustion
really is l cannot do better than to
use a very trite simile which compares
the human body to a steam boiler. The
water in a steam boiler keeps accumu-
lating heat from the fire until a de-
gree of heat is reached which the en-
gineers call the critical point" At
this point the water suddenly changes
its condition from liquid and becomes
a gas. occupying MANY times more
space lndn IL Qlu III lit ltlulu SUITE
The result OF this sudden change is a
tremendous explosion. comparable to
an explosion of dynamite. So it is
with the human body. The body goes
on storing up heat under the suns
rays until a critical point is reached.
when the explosion occurs, the patient
becomes unconscious and grave symp-
toms follow. which we call sunstroke.
The humidity OF the air acts rs a
blanket. preventing the radiation OF
heat from the body. There are de-
grees Of sunstroke, or, more properly
speaking. there are two conditions
which result from the Over-accumula-
ton OF heat These two conditions
arising from the same cause, are very
widely different IN character and re-
auire radically different kinds Of treat

Oyster Bay. L. l.. June 27.-President
Roosevelt's home coming for the sum-
mer was made the occasion of a fete
here. His reception was notable for
its enthusiastic cordiality and likewise
for its vigor. The latter quality was
due TO a slight fractional difference
among the townspeople, the result be-
ing that the President was accorded
a, double reception. The Oyster Bay
Board Of Trade, headed by President
]. Morgan Griffin, had planned an
elaborate demonstration, and ex-As-,
semblyman Maurice Townsend had ar
ranged another. Both were carried out
according to programmes. but as both
we're directed TO the same end, the
friendly rivalry between the factions
resulted only In adding to the enthlsi-
asm OF the reception.
Under smiling skies the President
stepped from his car at 4:3o o'clock. lie
was escorted by the Reception Com
mittee 10 the Town Hall The march
to the hall was between lines OF sch Dol

French Senate.
Paris, June 27-In the Senate to-
day the debate on the government pro-
ject requiring communes to build
schools to replace those of the relig-
ious congregations, brought out a dl-
vergency Of views between Premier
Combes and former Premier waldeck-
Rousseau, the latter re-entering the
debates for the first time in months.
NJ. Combes supported the law and NJ.
Waldeck- Rousseau, who followed,
pointed out the enormous cost involv-
ed in the project, nearly $25, 900, 0c0,
and urged caution, lest the benefits of
the law of 1901 be checked.
Following NJ Waldeck- Rousseau
speech, the Senate, by 1873 to 95 votes,
decided to discuss the law in detail
This constituted a partial check to
the government plan to limit the dis
cussion of the measure as a whole.
The temperance of NJ Waldeck-
Rousseau aroused intense interest, and
his opposition to the policy of his
successor as president of the council
created a distinct sensation.
Following the narrow government
majority in the chamber yesterday
the incident led to much excited COM
ment regarding the permanency of the
Combes cabinet.

The Quednau farm covers $50 acres,
and its dairy handles 1000 gallons of
mix daily. Every part of this farm
is lighted by electricity, and is in tele-

all the houses. This farm has also it's
own thrashing and grist mill, the ma
