PecuIiarfties of Lichens,

The lichen is remarkable for the great
age to which it lives, there being good
grounds for believing that they endure
as long as Il hundred years. Their
growth is exceedingly slow, almost be-
You'd belief, indicating that only little
nourishment is necessary TO keep them
alive. In dry time they have the pow
er to suspend growth altogether, renew
ing it again at the fall of rain. This
popularity alone is enough to make the
lichen u vegetable wonder, as it is a
property possessed by no other species
of plant. Another interesting fact about
lichens is that they grow only where
the air is free from dust and smoke.
They may lie said to be sure indica-
ton of tie purity of the air, as they are
never found growing in cities and
towns. where tie atmosphere is impreg-
mated with dust, SCOT, smoke and other
impurities

One Died.

Randolph, Dec 2--The community
was saddened yesterday on learning of
the death OF Euia. the eight years old
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Wal
cott, who lives on Prospect avenue. Miss

Wednesday evening she was taken very
suddenly i'll and died Thursday night.
During her short illness she suffered in
tense agony and had several spells Of
convulsions. The cause Of her death
was potomaine poisoning. It is thought
by the girls parents that the poisoning
was due to the candy which the child
ate. 1T ii known that the child pur-
chased one cents worth Of candy, which
was shared with her playmate, Helen
Ranney, daughter Of Mrs. Harry Chase,
and that the little Ranney girl was also
ill "Wednesday evening, but her illness
was nothing serious Az yet no action
has been taken by the health officer to
determine the cause Of the death.

Feared That Nineteen Lives Were Lost


On Lake superior.
Chicago, Dec. Alt is believed that
the steel steamer Ira H. Owen has been
wrecked and that its crew OF 10 men
is drowned. The ship was last seen
on Tuesday, 40 miles from Outer island,
in Lake Superior The Chicago owners
have given up all hope for the vessel.
The Ovens captain was Joseph Multi
gan of Buffalo.
The latest tidings of the Owen were
brought into Ashland, Wis, yesterday
by Captain Chamberlin Of the steamer
Sir William Siemens Captain Cham
berlain reported that at ten o'clock
Thursday when ~ miles east OF Afichi-
gan island, wreckage apparently from
the Owen was seen. Floating in the
midst of the wreckage were several life
preservers marked IS. S. Ira II. Owen .
Capt. J. G. Keith, manager Of the

was apparently gone.

happened to the Owen he said. "She

Commissioner Yerkes has issued cir

The date first set for the tax to go

turers and wholesale druggists protested
that it would be an injustice to them
to tax the large stocks which they had

such tax would be laid.

WORK OF THE FEDERATION.
Requires Funds and They Propose to
Raise Money by Having Sale.

With the opening OF the winter sea-
son the Civic Federation is planning its
work for the coming year. In the year
about closing the usual responsibilities
of the federation have been met These
include the care Of the park, the contri-
buttons to the Boys Club, the mainte-
nance of the sewing school and the sup
port of the district nurse. The two last
mentioned objects are deserving special
mention. The school has proved of much
benefit to the girls who gather there
every Saturday afternoon, and who thus
learn much besides needle craft.
In the support of the district nurse
the federation feels that great good is
being done. Our physicians have ex-
pressed their appreciation of having a
skilled nurse at hand in the many cases
where her timely and efficient service
has done much toward the comfort and
recovery Of the patient. In the last
IL months Miss Matson has made 99l
calls.
To meet the expense of these branches
of its work the federation has for several
years given more or less elaborate en-
tertairment, continuing four or five con-
secutiye evenings. From a financial
standpoint they have been signally sue
cessful, but the outlay of time and
strength by those connected with them
has been very great. The thing most
to be regretted about this kind OF enter
tainment is the demand 1t makes upon
the children in the middle of the school
years. The way and means committee
are most anxious to meet the federation
expenses this year in some other way,
and to this end they ask the co-opera-
tion of everyone interested in the vel
fare of our city whose betterment is
the sole object of the federation.
This committee proposes to begin work
by holding a rummage sale Dec. Sth
and 9th in the store occupied by the
gas company, Main street, opposite De-
pot Square. Contributions of clothing
of all kinds, underwear, millinery, al
sorts of household articles, books, maga-
ZINES, etc, are solicited It win be
impossible for the committee to per-
sonalv solicit these articles, therefore
they ask that the donors will kindly
leave them at the above mentioned place,
anytime during next week. Almost any
article viii bring some price, and "mony
. miclSle mak's muckle," so please
help the work along by your contribu-
tions.

legged that there are 81 protested ballots
in the box that were counted for McClel-
Ian.
Under Justice Amends amended order
as signed yesterday these ballots cannot
be taken from the box or passed upon

appeal will be taken next week to the
appellate division of the supreme court
asking for ruling as to the right Of
The Hearst counsel to protest these ball
lots on the recount, and have them pass
ed upon by Justice Giegerich.
The second feature OF the recount was
the number of ballots found that had
been counted that should have been
thrown out as void in the various dis
tricts in which the count was found to
be correct, the teeth election of the Sc
cond assembly district, it was claimed
by the Hearst attorneys that they found
51 void Mcclellan ballots and seven
