Wedding Gifts in Sixteenth centur

Wedding Gifts in Sixteenth Century,
In the list of presents received at
the wedding Of the daughter of Mr.,
Moor of Loosely in 157, from M. Balam,
Esq, out of Marshland in Norfolk
appear the following: "Cranes, nine (;
hernshawes, five; curlewes, one;
ducks, mallards, forty-four; teeles,
twenty-six; plovers, nine dozen ;
swannes, nine; larks, thirty:eight doz'
en-; bytters, sixteen; knots, four
dozen and four; styntes, seven doz.
en-; goodwytts, twenty-five"
It Is a formidable list, including
some $50 birds, of which 456 are larks
and must one would imagine, have
been something of an embarrassment
to Mr.. Moor's daughter.

d. BOOTH COMPANY SUED
By Father of Hol1en Boy. Drowned at
Susie Island This Spring. =

Susie Island This Spring.
John HoIlen of Duluth, father of the
boy who was drowned off the Steamer
America last spring has sued the A.
Booth Company and Seivert Peterson
and jacob Hector, officers of the Ameri-
ca, for 5000 damages.
Harvey Hollen was drowned by falling
through the gangway OF the America on
June 9Th last. Since that time his father
has been diligently following up the case
and his advertisements, "Who saw Hol-
len drown" have been appearing regu-
larly in the Duluth papers.
Yoang Hollen was employed as por-
ter on the America. He was only Is
years of age, and it is claimed that he
unemployed without the consent of his
parents.
In the complaint, as reported by the
Duluth, Herald, it is alleged that First
Mate Peterson negligently put across
one of the gangways on the lower deck
of the America what is known as the
gangbar, that he left the BARN an inse-
cure and dangerous condition
by not firmly inserting it IN the socket
provided for the purpose. tits claimed
that young Hollen, in the exercise of Or
binary care, leaned agaisst the bar when
it gave way and he fell into Lake Super
ior and was drowned.
1t is further alleged that the transport
tation company is guilty of gross negli-
gence and criminal carelessness because
it neglected to use proper aud reasona-
BILE effort to save the boys life. Mr..
Hollen alleges that Capt. Hector unlaw-
fully hired the boy to work on the boat.
and was negligent in not having his crew
trained to efficiency in the art of saving
lives; that because of the alleged inetf-
cheney OF the crew, the efforts to ave
him were disorganized and ineffective.
1t is claimed that Capt. Hector was re-
spensible for the plug that was missing
from the life boat and that much valua-
BILE time was lost after the boat was IN
the water in the search of something to
use as plug.
The transportation company is held
by the father to be liable for che death
of his son, by reason of the alleged acts
OF omission of its officers.

New Haxen.-An inquiry into the
railroad collision ah Alling's siding
on the Berkshire division of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road has just been made by Medical
Examiner Barnett of West Haven,
but his finding will not be given out
until it goes to the coroner.
The facts seemed to point to a slip
of memory ON the part Of Engineer
Johnson of the train from Ansonia,
and who was killed. in not slackening
speed as the train came down to the
siding, although reminded of the pass
ing point by Conductor Barnes only a
short time before. Johnson was In a
wreck some time ago on the Highland
division and had recently been rein.

in the wreck last spring in which

All the persons who were hurt In
the wreck are reported as being re-

Wreck at TiIton, N. n.

Tilton, N. H.-The south-bound
freight train, No. 8, in charge of con-
ductor Moulton, jumped the track
about ten rods beyond the station in
this town Wednesday night, causing
bad wreck. The train passed the sta
tion at 1890, and while some of the
cars were still in front of the station
one of them left the rails. bringing
others with it.
Several cars were derailed and one
was smashed to kindling wood. The
roadbed was torn up for number of
yards, and the trucks of some of the
cars were thrown over on the rails of
the Franklin & Tilton branch, block
ing traffic on that line.
The Boston express, due here at
1920, was ordered to proceed over the
Franklin division from Concord, but
was unable to do so because of the
wreck as both tracks were blocked.
1t is supposed that one of the cars was
caught in a frog, jumped the rails,
and in this manner caused the acct
dent.

MYSTERIOUS VISITORS.
President Roosevelt Has a Long Con
sultatlon With Two Men.

oyster Bay, N. Y.-President Roose.
welt had two mysterious visitors We'd
nesday, of whose presence Secretary
Loeb and Assistant Secretary Latta
denied all knowledge They arrived
at 1914. One was a stout iorid man
with a black moustache, about 40
years old. The other was smaller,
smooth shaven and apparently about
35.
Instead of engaging a cab at the
station they went up to the Octagou
hotel, and from there hired a hack
man. AS the conveyance approached
the house on Sycamore hill it was
waved back by the secret service man
on duty, but the elder of the two pas
sengers drew letter from his pocket
and held 1t up. The hackman was di.
recteu To approach ana the letter was
handed over and read The visitors
were at once driven to the piazza and
alighted.
The President received them there,
Chairs were brought out and they re-
mained with him for nearly two
hours in close consultation. 1t was
impossible to discover their identity
or the purpose of their mission, made
under such unusual circumstances.
The invarlable rule has been for all
callers to visit the executive officers
first, If no appointment has been pre-
arranged, and to obtain written pass
from Secretary Loeb, which is scruti-
nized by the President and accepted
or rejected as he deems best.
Don't know anything about such
visit" said the Presidents secretary;
perhaps they were workingmen."
That Orlando Torland, the man
caught skulking around President
Roosevelt's house on Sycamore hill
recently, was a dangerous lunatic is
proved by his talk ON the train, on
which he was placed by secret SER
vice officer. He insisted that John d.
Rockefeller owed him $65,000,0O0, but
he possessed the peculiar cunning
which marks the paranoiac and he
showed this in the manner In which
he escaped from the train in Long Is
land City.
Whether he crossed the ferry or got
away In the darkness into Long Is
land City Is not known to any of the
train crew.

which a mass-meeting was addres ed
by Gen. H. c. Corbin, U. S. A., re
tired Adjt. Gen. Joseph Neall, of the
G. A. r., Senator Foraker and others.
Senator Foraker said:
Never before the civil war, nor
since, until within the last two or
three years has the slightest counte-
nance been given by the American
authority, to any suggestion from any
source that our constitution should
ever be nmended oNoePt only IN ac-
cOrdance with its own provisions,
much less that the judicial depart
ment should prostitute its great pow
ers in an effort to change the consti-
tuition by judicial construction, OF
that the people or the officials of gov
eminent high or low, should disregard
its limitations or in any manner over
step the powers it confeTs in the
slightest degree under any preteXt
whatever.
For more than a century we found
a way, and without difficulty, OF meet
ing every exigency that has arisen,
consistently with the constitution.
Notwithstanding this long and
successful experience, there is now
abroad in the land a widespread and
dangerous sense, not only of impa-
tience with the restraints of the con-
stitution, but of positive purpose to
disregard, violate and overthrow them
if they cannot otherwise be evaded
ITO say that the constitution or
any part of 1t has become obsolete is
simply to deal in a rhetoric which vio-
lates sentiment as well as contradicts
facts. No greater calamity could be-
fall this country than for it to SO
change it's constitution as to authorize
the federal government to deal with
all, or any considerable part, of the
subjects over which the states re-
served control. The many powers Of
the federal government conferred di-
rectly and by implication to deal with
national and international affairs

possible for the congress to carefully
consider, thoroughly debate and prop.

New Bedford.-Henry H. Rogers
went motoring again Wednesday with
Mark Twain, despite a chill wind,
leaving his mansion at Fairhaven
at $3.50 p. m. r. Rogers, as in Tues
days ride, was at the steering
wheel, and was bundled up to the ears
in heavy fur coat, while Mark Twain
wore his white suit, broad brimmed
straw hat and a light overcoat.
They took a 1O-mile spin around
Fairhayen and returned in time for
dinner. Mr.. Rogers appeared to be
in rare good spirits as he stepped
from the machine. His face, which
for the last few months has been
ashen pale, had assumed ruddy
glow, and he smiled genially when
asked as to his health.
The oil magnate, with a deprecat-
ing wave of his arms, hastened up
the steps of the veranda and disap-
peared into the house with Mark
Twain after him. Mr.. Rogers refused
to utter a word, but those who saw
him were greatly impressed with
his improved appearance. He looked
nearly as well as year ago.
DR.. Charles A. Pratt of New Bed
ford, who has made daily visits up to
within week ago, now considers Mr..
Rogers so much improved that he has
ceased his calls altogether. The doc.
tor said:
''Mr. Rogers looks immeasurably
better now than he did after his nerv-
GUS stroke in New York, but he is
not entirely well, by any means. If
he continues to rest as he does now
there will be no reason for apprehen-
sion as to his condition.
HE has entirely recovered the pow
er OF speech, which for a few days af-
ter his attack was considerably af-
fected. The day after the stroke he
was hardly able to speak a word
Gradually the paralysis disappeared
and there is now no trace of it,"
The millionaire has been taking
quiet exercise each day with Indian
clubs and each morning after break
fast he takes a stroll about his es-
tates.
Mr.. Rogers has become resigned to
the step advised by his relatives of
relinquishing all business cares. He
sent his son-in-law, Urban Broughton,
to New York Tuesday, in his private
yacht, the Kanawha, to arrange for
turning over his affairs to others In
the Standard oil family
1t is now practically certain that
Mr. Rogers will never resume his
position at the head OF the giant cor
poration. When he RECEIVERS his
health he will probably live In re-
tirement.
