HOTELS OF LONG AGO
REVOLUTIONARY INNS WORTHY
OF REMEMBRANCE.
Eiourished in the Days When hospi.

tues, and Strong Liquor a Part Of
Every nay Life.

Meeting houses, shops and taverns
In Windham county evolved from
popular demand, says the Norwich
Bulletin. The first provided the
bread of life, the second materia!
necessities, and the third entertain
ment for man and beast. Whatever
may be thought of the convivial ex-
cesses which developed in ~colonial
%taverns, 1t must be admitted that the
liquors furnished were pure in quality
n not the "rectified,' blended" and
adulterated poison which Is dispensed
in modern high licensed hotels and
barrooms.
Windham had its full share of pub
lie houses in time long past. whose
proprietors were men of standing with
the honored inc of Backus, Brews-
ter. Fitch, Lathrop, Parish, Ripley and
Warner. In those days most of the
resident families were connected by
lntermarriage. were on friendly terms

cial life among the better classes was
free, enjoyable n often hilarious,

on the locker always at hand. Large
rooms and halls in the taverns were
frequently used for various festivities,
the merrymakers being ever welcome.
At Windham Green were the public
houses of John S%tinford, Nathaniel
Hebard and John Fitch, all famous
for good entertainment and scenes of
mirth and festivity.
h Widow Cary, who became the
wife of John Fitch, brought to her new
home the little god Bacchus. which
for many years occupied a prominent
position in front of the "old French
tavern" but now fills one of greater
honor in the rooms of the historical
society at Windham Green. Revolu-
tionary veterans ~frequented the tav-
ems and r%ecounted their tales of wal
to everything hearers. One of the
former, who looked too frequently
upon the wine when it was red," &C.
cepted a wager that he could not pass
Hebard's tavern without stopping for
q drink of rum. First fortifying him
self with a glass of it, he succeeded
in passing the tavern without pausing.

tered the place and called for his
favorite beverage. On another occa-
sion, he staggered into an inn bare
headed, but adorned with weeds. A
boy soon brought the old mans hat
from the field where he had been
asleep.
The present Windham Inn, although
not a type of the old-time tavern,
is a reminder of Revolutionary days.
From its outer walls is suspended an
old sign bearing the coat Of arms of
England and the date 1888.
At the old Providence road in Plain

Captain Eaton in ante-revolutionary

are practically in the same condition

at Nuremberg and afterward studied
mathematics and science at Munich.
Then he lived number of years at
Nuremberg. occupying himself as an
author. About the year 1900 he be-
came vegetarian. From childhood
up he had been weakly of constitution,
and ever since 1S94s he had busted
himself with medicine and physicians
in hopes of gaining strength. He
tried all corts of dietaries and after
vegetarianism took to pure fruit
regimen, and then milk and cream.
Cocoanut Declared the
Proper Food for Mankind
"Just as mothers milk is the one
proper and natural food of the suck
ling babe so the cocoanut is the one
natural and proper food for the man.
The cocoanut palm is his mother, it
is his kitchen and his cellar. In its
fruits 1t bestows upon him nutri-
ment whereby alone the greatest and
highest of his bodily and spiritual
powers may be awakened" Mr..
Engelhardt made experiments with the
other fruits and nuts, but from none
received the satisfactory results which
inspired his foundation of the cocoa
nut colony.
1t was in November, 1901, that the
founder of the Order of the Sun left
Germany in search of tropical resi-
dence, thinking 1t might be Ceylon,
and 1t was in 1902 that he landed
upon the happy isle OF Kabakon. A
year later, on the Sd of March, 1903.
he proclaimed Kabakon an open fruit
garden and sungrove. / will settle
1t with fruit eaters"
While comparatively few persons,
in Mr.. Engelhardt's Judgment, now
may be prepared for such a life as
the localities of Kabakon offer, as
these become better and better known
everywhere his ideas will be popular
lied and more and more will desire
to put them into practical execution.

Tonopah, New. Word has been re-
celved here that the stage between
Manhattan and Round Mountain was

Mountain, $4,000 in all. 1t is also stat
ed that there were but $500 In the

was walking on the road in front Of
the stage. He whirled when it came
up, pointed two guns and forced the
driver to throw out the box. The
driver and passenger were unarmed.
Posses are now out from Round

CUBA OWNS ISLE OF PINES.
Provisional Government viii Not Mix
With Its Affairs.

With Its Affairs.
Havana.-The provisional govern
ment will have nothing to do with the
question of the sovereignty of the Isle
OF Pines or with the separation of the
government of the island from the rest
of the Cuban republic. The executive
authority of the United States already
has declared that the Isle of Pines be-
longs to Cuba and has embodied that
affirmation in a treaty conceding the
sovereignty of the island to Cuba, and
this treaty is now pending ratification
In the American senate. The entire
matter being one for the adjudication
Of the state department, the provis-
ional government, which is wholly un-
der the war department, will not mix
therein.
The mode of the government Of the
Isle Of Pines as part OF the Cuban re-
public may be altered or amended but
the desire of Americans in the Isle of
Pines for territorial or municipal gov
eminent as part of the United States
cannot be conceded by any act on the
part of the provisional government of
Cuba or the war department.

The sun order derives its fair name

Kabakon is the new Eden
The OrdGr OF the Sun has estab-
1ished there the strangest colony on
the face of the earth; colony in
which all go naked, all admit the sun
the source of all life, and all subsst

coanut Is the suns representative on

mother Of humanity; the sun is its
creator.
In the Palm Theater of Pure Ma

the International Colonial Empire of
Fruitarianism, founded by the Order
Of the Sun, and there the naked hosts,
Christians, who until few months

many large warehouses filled with
many bad goodies from all the world

coanuts are defined by Mr.. Engel-
