The primitive Inhabitants OF Europe
we're all tehors. Their descendants Of
the present time are baritones. and fu.

races have higher pitched voices than

higher voice than the white man.
Among white races the fair complex

Rev George w. Tomson. pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, who com

hotel. came to his death while suffer
ing from alteration Of the brain.
Second only to the sensation created
by the suicide itself is the excitement
among the members of the fashionable

Mr. Tomson was engaged and the fact
that another woman is quoted as hay-

"The Rev Tomson owes me all the
love and duty belonging TO wife aud

This statement WAS made by the ac.
cuser, who formerly lived in Wood
bury, but who is now in Philadelphia
following the announcement of the en-
gagement between the pastor and Mrs.
Kenworthy.
The woman, humiliated by the pre-
Idicamont in which she found herself,
fled from Woodbury.. il being believed
that she had gone to the Pacific coast

NEGLECTED. BAYBERRlES.

dies by some discovery or other ia
magazine and some stanch old New
Englanders who love TO get out in the
pastures on a crisp fall day-these are
all who gather the bayberrles now.
Left to themselves, the clumps OF
bushes have spread out and In some
cases oyerrun whole pastures. In some
parts of Connecticut the bushes have
grown very tall.
In Branford, on the coast. there are
almost bayberry trees, as many can be
found growing along the highways ten
feet tall aud some even taller These
bayberries must be very old. You can,
net help wondering how many crops
have been picked of them In years
past
AS early as 1T17 the town records
show that the gathering Of bayberries
on the highways and common was for
hidden before Sept. 10, A fine of 10
shillings for each violation was the
penalty. 1t appears that the wax from
the berries was used in making a
blacklng and q salye and that bayberry
wax continued an article of trade in
Branford down to the last fifty years.
Human nature being about the same

probably in I7i7 great complaining
