New York. Nov. 14.-Expecting
Hyde to be called as a witness in the
insurance investigation this morning.
large crowd. including many ladies,
was present. The seats not occupied
by witnesses and attorneys were given
to women, Hyde, accompanied by At
torney Untermeyer, entered and ap-
peared unconscious of the attention
he was attracting.
John McGuiness, comptroller of the
Equitable, was the first witness.
Hughes read a number of letters from
Equitable officials to A. c. Fields, ex-
pressing disapproval of certain legis-
lation pending at Albany.
Hyde was then called. There was a
stir in the room as the young financier
was sworn. He was asked first about
his connection with the Equitable,
and declared he was educated by his
father in the life insurance business,
and brought up to understand he
would succeed his fsther.
He ente-edy yhe service of the Equi-
table,in =. 3 sfll Of '9S as second vice
president and felt qualified to fin the
position. He declined any salary when
he entered. In 1900 he accepted a sal
AIRY of $4,000, which was in 1902 in
creased TO $4,000. When the salary
was increased he was made chairman
of the finance committee, with in
creased duties. He insisted that In
both cases salary was offered and in
creased without suggestion from him,
but by volition Of the members of the
executive committee.
Hyde could offer no explanation of
the testimony of Depew before Hen
bricks in which the senator was "un-
certain whether Hyde asked for an
increase, but thought he did, and
thought he asked for more than Al
eXander."
Hughes asked Hyde IL he would
have continued at $500 If 100000
had been refused. Hyde replied,
Yes, because didn't believe I could
get as much elsewhere"
Profit on Side Lines.
Hyde says he was given authority 10
receive the money from the cashier
without any other voucher than his
own.
He became director in the Equita-
bic Trust company previous to 1901,
and vice-president later, at salary
Of $4,000, which was increased to s12.-
200. He claimed much credit for
building up the trust company.

Conspicuous among the multitude of famous and interesting persons whom Moncure D. Conway mentions in his autobiography Is the poet Longfellow.
 At the time MT. Conway was study ing in Cambridge in 1853 Longfellow was the professor of poetry in Harvard university, and it is plain that the af- lection and reverence the poet then in spired in the young student have sur vived the half century that has passed.
 "Longfellow's personality was po- tent among us," says MT. Conway. 'His modesty, his amiable man to man manners toward the young, the absence of airs or mannerisms, his transparent veracity of mind and respect for all sincere opinions, were very engaging. He was universally beloved"

A GREEDY CORMORANT.

He DevOured Two Pounds of Stones
 as Part of q Meal.
 When I was a keeper in the National Geological park in Washington l ob- served a remarkable example of the well known greatness of the cormo- rant.
 Four little cormorants came to the ZOO and were placed in cage in which dogs had once been kept. Outside was a pebbly yard in which the dogs had exercised. The eormorants waddled about this yard and seemed to be hay ing a fine time until one morning no ticed that one of them was sitting on the ground unable to rise. He did not waddle up to get his meal of whole fish, each usually about half as long as his own body, and as the others came rushing toward me to get their share I knew that he was i'll. I went into the cage and lifted him up. What was my amazement to hear something grat- ing and clanking inside of him! And he seemed surprisingly heavy. I at once called the head keeper, who de cided to investigate by means of a sur gical operation.
 He took out two pounds of stones, one of which was four inches long, two and half inches wide and about half m inch thick! The poor chap seemed to feel relieved. In few days he be- came convalescent, ate his food regu- larly and seemed to be doing well. Then that hooked bill reached under the feathers and tore out some of the surgeons stitches, which were un- doubtedly irritating, as the wound was beginning to heal. As result of this interference the wound opened, and, as the weather was hot, the patient died five days after the Operation.-St Nicholas.

and the trite saying, "Our value we stamp upon ourselves,'' was a charge to be remembered. Dr. Gowing has been heard in Stafford before, and each time with much pleasure and profit. Miss Isadore Durham made a very pleasing valedictorian. Ava rado Howard, chairman of the school board, with timely remarks, presented the diplomas. Lynch's orchestra fur nished music.
 The Staffords won their fourth shut-out game last Saturday. The St. Aloysius of Holyoke did not get a man beyond the second bag, and at no stage of the game did it look as if they were likely to score. The game was too one-sided to be interesting. The attendance has begun to dwindle, and unless the management secures stronger visiting teams the home nine will soon be playing before empty bleachers. It will be necessary to pay more money and secure opponents in the class of the home team, and have a shorter season if need be, if it is desired to have the attendance kept up or increased. We certainly have a strong aggregation at present, and it is hoped that the season will not be failure. If games like the last two Saturdays are continued the team will soon be playing in a lifeless manner, and will be found wanting when the opportunity arrives. Col lins pitched good game and allowed only one hit. Cobb was given try out in the box after tbe sixth inning, and showed that he can be depended upon when needed. In the three in- nings he did not allow 8 hit and struck out five men. In the fifth in ming McClelland had his hand badly spiked while sliding to second base, but it is expected he will be able to play in the game with the Indian Orchards next Saturday. A one- handed fly catch by Connors in center field in the third inning and diff cult one handed stop by Reeves in the sixth, which prevented what looked to be a sure base hit, were much ap- Dlau6e6 The SC.Ora

 Under a canopy of laurel and June roses Miss Laura B. Stafford, daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. William H. Staff ford of East Boston, was married to Ralph Waldo Wight, son of MT. and Mrs. Henry K. Wight of Indian Or chard, Wednesday afternoon at the home of the brides parents, 26 Fall con street. The officiating clergy man was Rev. Frederick W. Gardner of the South Boston Baptist church. Only immediate relatives and friends of the contracting parties witnessed the ceremony. The matron of honor was Mrs. c. H. Converse of Boston, and the best man was Charles W. Walker of Northampton. The bride was given away by her father, and the wedding march was rendered by Miss Maude l.. Fowler The bride was becomingly attired in gown of brussels net, with val lace and white ribbon trimmings, and carried a large bouquet of lilies of the valley. The matron of honor was dressed in a gown of white point d'esprit, with lace and pink ribbons. She carried sweet peas. The house was profusely decorated with palms, ferns and streamers running across from one side to the other. Following the ceremony reception was in order, and the couple received congratula- tions from all, and innumerable val uable presents. The principal one was a house and lot at 87 Hampden street, Indian Orchard, completely furnished. The groom is assistant treasurer of the Indian Orchard com pany, a director of the Springfield board of trade, and member of the common council. The grcom's pres ent to the bride was a sunburst of pearls, with large diamond in the center, and the groom also presented the best man with a pair of solid gold Masonic cuff links. The matron of honor received as a present from the bride a shell comb with rough pearl setting. After a wedding trip through England and France the couple will be at home after September 1 at 87 Hampden street, Indian Orchard. Among those present were MT. and Mrs. H. K. Wight, Fred Hubert, MT. and Mrs. Walter Bradbury, all of Springfield, Mrs. w. o. Judd and Mrs. F. D. Thorpe of Holyoke, and MT. and Mrs. Clarence Booth of Ware. Springfield Republican.

Cockneys are the best natured people under the sun. It Is notorious that a big London crowd is of all crowds in the world the most harmless and the easiest to manage.

Wisconsin than any other place in |
the United States.
The ground is rolling and is not
sandy, nor is it rocky. Of course,
there are places where there is some
rock, but nothing disagreable. The
Chippewa valley is the choicest agri-
all GOOD. Whenever the country is too
new for the tame grasses, the wild
grass and wild peavine grow in abund,
ance so the cattle always thrive and
get fat on it.
The cattle Of northern Wisconsin are
as fat and shiny as sea-lions by the
middle of August every year, running
wild in the woods. There is no waste
better than others, but it is all good.
The resources are varying, first the
timber value, and the second-class tim:
Der, third class timber, cordwood and
fuel in abundance. All farmers sue
coed who work and improve the land.
The only menace we have in Wiscon-
sin is politics, and I suppose all local.
ties are subject to this scourge, more
or less.
There is an abundance Of waterpower

up against the great mining regions,

iron mines in northern Wisconsin and
upper Michigan, and Minnesota adjoin-
ing, is said to be thirty to forty mil
lion tons Of iron ore. annually; this
furnishes employment for many people
and a market for the products Of the
farmer.
One will only have to look at the
map of Wisconsin to see its location,
and 1t certainly seems strange that this
piece Of territory, or neck Of the woods,
Is not occupied by at least two million

is no yellow fever or other epidemics.
But scattered thru the northern half Of

raising is another industry that has been
proven successful.
Health and Recreation.

One consideration which the people Of
this section never fail to impress on
friends and visitors is the beauty and
healthfulness Of the country. The eli
mate is ideal for health all the wear
round. It is seldom either too wet or
too dry, and living in the pine clearings
and breathing the pure ozone is like
drinking at the fountain of youth. There
is always plenty of recreation at hand,
abundant. The country is full of lakes,
and the lakes we'll stocked with fsh''
which the authorities guard zealously
from pot-hunters. It is hard to find
a spot that is not in easy driving dis
lance Of good fishing.
Railroad facilities are good now, but
as the country fills up and traffic in
creases they will become better right
along, and new lines will be built to
North Western, Omaha, Wisconsin Cen
trail, 500, St. Paul, South Shore, and
Northern Pacific traverse northern Wis
cohsin in every direction, new lines are
being built and others surveyed or pro-
jected. The railroad companies, anx-
ious to increase their business, are do
ing their share in advertising the re-
sources of this section, and are not only
attracting farmers, but calling atten-
ion 70 the many business openings IN
the cities and villages, which are grow
ing with the growth Of their depend
ent rural population.
Homeseekers' Rates Continue.
A big share in the growth and devel-
opment Of northern Wisconsin in the
future will be due to the concerted, en-
terprising efforts of the Wisconsin I'm
migration & Development association,
an organization composed of the most
progressive land owners and dealers,
who are banded together for mutual in
terests, and to make an effective cam

branches the science Of agriculture and
manual training, with cooking, sewing
and domestic economy for the girls, a
training which many have found in-
valuable.
Communication Is Easy.
Railroad facilities in Marathon are
good. The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul crosses the county north and south
and the Chicago & North Western east
and west, each about the middle Of the
county, while the Wisconsin Central
cuts the southwestern corner. The man
ufacturing industries which have made
Wausau town Of $4,000 inhabitants
benefit the country around.
A complete telephone system joins
Wausau with all the smaller villages Of
the county, and farmers lines have
been strung in every direction With,
rural free delivery the farmers are kept!
in close touch with the outside world.
A proof of the public spirit and EN-
terprise Of the county, as well as it's
rich resources, was furnished when
Marathon took the prize for best coun-I

in succession over the older southern
counties, and then dropped out to give
