MAN, COW, FIDDLE.
Trio COMMUNICATED on a Tombstone
In a Connecticut Cemetery.


In the old cemetery of Central Vii.
lage. near Plainfield, Conn.,, is the only
tombstone known in New England
erected 10 COW and its owner. In
several cemeteries have been found rec
ords that horses, dogs and even cats
have been laid at rest beside their
masters, but in no other instance on
record has a COW had a slab erected in
her honor
The cows name was Rosa. and the
inscription says that she gave two
pounds fifteen ounces of butter from
thirteen quarts of milk in one day.
This was pretty good record for a
COW, and a Jersey at that, the inscriIt-
ton goes on to say.
On the opposite side of the monu-
ment is the inscription, "All Ready,
Mr.. Cady," and below are the words,
SAt Rest" Above Is the outline of a
fiddle crossed with bow.
Gurdon Cady, to whose memory the
stone was erected, was known from
the Massachusetts line to Long Island
sound and from Providence to the Con-
necticut river half century ago as the
finest fiddler that ever drew a bow at a
country dance. He had two loves,
Rosa and his fiddle, both Of which
found a place on his tombstone.
Marin Kenney's celebrated inn at
Stafford was one of the most popular
fields for Cady and his fiddle From
the time he started until the final flour
ish of the bow, when he chanted "All
promenade to seats" there was some
thing doing every minute. Some of the
residents here can recall many time
when they danced to his music until
the suns rays lighted the ballroom.
He would yell in between times spe-
cial Instructions to uncertain maids
and SWANS. Once, seeing young man
at a loss what to do in the middle Of a
set, he sang out, Swing that girl with
the yellow apron on!' And the girl
was promptly swung. All such diver
sions We're worked in with his prompt
ing, and no one except the persons al
dressed paid any heed.
Ten dollars n day or night and all
expenses Of travelling was the usual
charge of Cady for his services in rem
dering "Money Musk" Chorus Jig"
1.-THE Irish Washerwoman" and "Hul's
Victory" which comprised his roper
toire. During the dancing season he
was continually on the road from one
inn to another.
Outside Of his love of music his most
conspicuous trait was his love Of cat
tie. Before he died he made arrange
meits to have the name Of his favorite
COW Rosa handed down to posterity
with his own.-New York Sun.

Accidents on Warships.

Occasional accidents are as much
to be looked for on a warship as In
an industrial plant. If the officers and
crew are to be fit for service in time
Of war they must practice with the
big guns. They must engage in work
where momentary carelessness and the
neglect Of some seemingly trivial pre-
caution may mean sudden death or
permanent disablement. On a battle
snip, as in an iron or a powder mill,
eternal vigilance is the price of safety,
and In spite of the utmost vigilance
deplorablc casualties may happeN.-

Mike has been offered match with
Joe Thomas by Jim Coffroth. 1t will
likely take place at Colma in Septem
ber after the latter's fight with Young
Ketchell, and it will be one of the
greatest battles of decade. Jack is
wanted in finish fight with Hugo
Kelly at Tonopah by Jack Curley.
But he is after Tommy Burns, who
calls himself since the Frisco fiasco
the heavyweight champion of the
world. Since Jack has already whip
ped Burns the Canuck would find that
his title would read clearer if he should
blot out the defeat by beating the
Cambridge man. The match is among
the probabilities.
Joe Thomas has signed for forty
rounds with Young Ketchel Of Mon
tana at San Francisco on Labor day.
This will be the second time the men
have met. The first meeting was but
twenty rounds and ended in Il draw.
Young Ketchel sprang from Queens
berry obscurity to Il position of pugilis-
tic prominence that might well lie en-
We'd by any boxer in the country. In
getting into the limelight Ketchell per-
formed Il feat that some of the best
welterweights have attempted to ac-
complsh, but failed. He practically
defeated that robust weller, Joe Thorn
as, who has shown such hitting power
that none of the men in his class has
exhibited very earnest desire to meet
him in the ring.

EXPECTS UNION OF

SECTARIAN PICKERING TO BE
STOPPED
Rev. William Horace Day Secs Pros
pect of Congregational, United
Brethren and Protestant
Methodsts Uniting

At the First Congregational church
last night William Horace Day, D. D.,
spoke on 1.-THE Tri-C Church Union" Fol-
a little over year three churches have
been working toward organic union
The United Brethren, the Protestant
Methodists and the Congregational are
so near in essential principles as to
make union seem possible. He said:
"In our Lords last night with the dis
ciples he prayed that they may all be
one.' without the love that was strong
enough to bring unity the best disciple
ship would be impossible. He recog-
nized the necessity of unity if his fol-
lowers were to convince the world. He
prayed for unity that the world may
believe that thou didst send u.s.
"Only so could they reach what he
wished for them that they may be per-
fected into one.' Paul was writing to a
church where they had broken into
competing factions and called upon
them to forget self and recognize 'one
Lord, one faith, one baptism One OF
the deepest passions of the early CEN
turies appears in the ancient creed, !
believe in the holy catholic church.
The consistent ideal of the life of the
church from Jesus time to ours has
been the desire for united church.
Petty Chickering's
Never was impatience with the Sec
tartan spirit of petty pickering more
felt than today, never have the earnest
souls felt more sadly the waste wher
the communion of the saints has be-
come the competitions of the sects.' A
hard headed age condemns the present
methods as bad business, an eXtraVa.
CANT waste of force and funds which &C.
counts for part of the failure of Chris
tendon to make the world know thai
thou didst sent me-
"The difficulty has been to find the
true method of unifying. Three have
been tried-the Imperial, the Intellec'
tual, the Ethical For 1000 years the
church tried the imperial way of sub.
lection. To enforce allegiance to 6
polity, a religious state, the Roman
church as we'll as smaller ones tried Il
command uniformity in organization
and worship, each bitterly fighting the
other, and yet attempting to be supreme
and so universal. A supreme emperor
or over-king was to rule the state and
a supreme bishop was to rule the churcf
and incidentally the emperor.
''It failed, and at the Reformation the
centrifugal forces prevailed. A thousand
fragments were shot off into life. The
lrenescence exalted the intellectual idef
ideal that unification was to be matter
of the creed. Compel every one to be
lieve the same thing and you have
unity. The war of the creeds, Theolo
gians expected that Professionalism, o.
the revolt against political unity would
finally adopt either the Lutheran or the
reformed theology and so much of unity
would be gained.

Coal Famine is
Coming.

Railroad officials in Salt Lake
are predicting a coal famine next
winter that will make last winters
experience along this line look a
mild affair. "From what l can
learn of conditions this city will
be tied up hard and fast OF the
coal proposition early next winter"
said General Freight Agent j.
Rives, of the Oregon Short Line.
"I-cannot urge strongly the neces-
sity of Salt Lakers putting in their
supply this summer, for as sure as
the cold months roll around it will
be impossible to get the fuel. We
will have to move a big crop next
fall. Lots of fruit will have to be
moved, TO say nothing of a big crop
of beets, and we will not be in a
condition to handle coal.
The people of Battle Mountain
would do well to take a tip from
the above and lay in their next
winters coal supply at once.
