The celebration of Dewey's victory
was of a wide scope, and in order to
properly care for the maze of people
who would come from all over tho
States, the authorities foresaw,
among many other things, the neces-
sity of having proper hospital facili-
ties at different points throughout the
city, and Miss Kathers was placed
at exactly the same location at which
we found her at the beginning of this

an officer of the deck, needless of

his efforts strained his weakened con-
situations, so that hemorrhage re-
suited. Just as soon as the fleet an

charge of the hospital tent at which
Miss Kathers was located saw the
impossibility of getting the victim to
the ambulance on account of the
densely packed crowd, he had him
brought to his tent.

Mr.. PlcKWIck's INN.
Leather Bottle Much the Same as
When Dickens Lived There.


The Leather Bottle Inn of Pick
wick fame is still standing in the
quaint old village of Gotham. Dick
ems spent several days and nights
there before and after the writing
of "Pickwick," and his visitors at
Gads Hill were generally taken for
walk through the woods to be
shown the picturesque inn.
Today it is shrine for Dickens
pilgrims, according to the Queen. who
visit it in increasing numbers and
leaves their names in the well worn
bulky visitors books. Still the
house remains a village inn of an
older time. with low ceilings, oak
panels. small windows and heavy
furniture.
1t is very much as it was
when the immortal Boz spent his
time there creating the scene which
is at least as well known as any 9TH
er in the story of Mr.. Pickwick's
feasts and fancies; but the Dickens
room, the bar parlor and in fact the
whole house is overlooking with
prints and pictures and sketches Of
the famous novelist and the creations
of his fertile mind. .
1t was in the churchyard across
the road from the Leather Bottle
as it was then known. though now
more often called the Pickwick Inn
that Mr.. Pickwfck reasoned long
and earnestly with the respondent
Tupman. who had fortified himself
at the Leather Bottle for prema-
ture departure from an irresponsible
world.
The one street of the picturesque
village of Gotham forms an avenue
of neat cottages, with an atmosphere
of contented old age characteristic
of the county so famously described
by Dickens as unapproachable for its
apples, cherries, hops and women"
1t is in one OF the loveliest parts OF
Kent. about three miles from Roches.

Barns And Calves Burns.

Rockville.-Two fine barns. a
granary and several smaller out
buildings on the Admiral Selfridge
farm, three miles from Rockville,
were burned. A large quantity OF
grain and feed was consumed and
two calves persisted in the flames.
The loss is placed at about $4,000,
and was partially covered by insur-
ance. How the fire started is not
known definitely, but it is thought
to have been caused by the careless
ness of farm hand in smoking In
or near one of the buildings.
