OBITUARY..
Miss Catherine Sullivan.

The death of Miss Catherine Sulli-
van occurred at the home of John E.
Webster, Jr., at Rockville Center, Long
Island, Thursday morning, after an
illness of two months, death being due
to apoplexy.
Miss Sullivan was born in Ireland,
daughter of Michael and Ellen Cas-
ey Sullivan. She came to this country
when very young, and settled in Nor
witch, where she was a domestic.
Nearly twenty years ago she went to
work in the family of John E. Web
ster of New York, where she has been
looked upon as a member of the fam
ity and where her death was felt .sas
keenly as in her own family circle.
Miss Sullivan was well known in this
city, where she visited quite often. She
was of a charitable disposition, al
ways ready to help those in need and
ever ready to help charitable institu-
lions. She is survived by a brother,
jeremiah Sullivan of this city, and a
sister, Mrs. Michael D. Daley of New
London; also nieces and nephews. The
body will arrive in this city this after
noon, but arrangements for the funeral
have not YET been completed.

ASK ABOUT 1T.
The Swordfsk.
ASK ABOUT 1T.

The swordfish has arrived. We have
called attention hitherto to the state
ment of naturalists that these fish are
never found small and young on our
Atlantic coast. They are born across
the seas in the Mediterranean. When
they begin to feel the spirit Of adver-
ture they start over for a Summer
along the North Atlantic shore. He
they spend the season and, If they are
not taken to market, they disappear
again when the water cools and off
they go. They are taken by harpoon.
1t is their custom to lie on the surface
of the ocean, their great back fins
swaying in the air. Apparently they
sleep. But nobody would call them
sleepy after the harooon hits in. a
considerable line is attached to
barrel at one end and harpoon at the
other Tho fish is struck and then over
goes line, barrel and the whole out
fit. The fish sets off madly, but after
a time tires and in a dory the fisher
man draws up to him, sticks him with
a knife must as pig is dealt with
on the farm, the ocean reads for a
space about the boat ana then several
hundred pounds of fish are hauled on
board the larger craft. Last year
swordfish were scarce and the fisher
men got as high as Is cents a pound.
This year the Boston market is giving
the princely sum of cents a pound.
OF late years New York has taken to
eating swordfish, but for a long time
the meat was unstable there and New
England did all the eating. Few fish
furnish a more delicate food.-Hart-

MADE A BEDQUILT
CONTAINING $500 PIECES.
Fine Piece of Needlework by Charles
H. Ames, Who is an Artist at Such
Handwork.


Charles H. Ames, caretaker of the
Arcanum club, has completed another
bedquilt which is the hardest one he
has ever attempted. from the fact that
it is made of $500 pieces and repre-
sents months of work with the scissors,
needle and thread. He worked at it all
last winter and finished it but recently.
1t is made of dark and light pieces,
triangular in shape. A dark and light
piece are sewed together. the long sides
of the triangle being placed together,
thus forming a square about an inch
square. Of these squares there are
1900, and to those who are familiar
with sewing the amount of work which
was required to sew those pieces to-
gether can be well understood. The
quilt is two yards wide and two ard
one-half yards long and the pieces so
placed that a light and dark one come
next to each other.
A number of quilts with fancy pat
terms have been made by Mr.. Ames,
who delights in this pastime, and ne
is now at work on another which is
made entirely Of isosceles triangles,
but which does not rival the previous
one for the amount of work. Mr..
Ames has received many compliments
on the Quilts

MURDER RESULTS
FROM JEALOUSY.
Body of Woman Found Near that of
William j. Mullen.


Exeter. n. H., July 13.-An investi-
cation of the death of William J. Null
len here Yesterday, believed to have
been caused indirectly by the heat, re-
suited today in the disclosure of a
double tragedy. Mullen was found
dead in a three foot spring of water,
and while the body was being EXON
inted two bullet holes were discovered
in the back. A revolver was later
found in the spring.
1t then became known that Mrs. Nell
lie Durant, with whom Mullen had been
intimate, wac missing, and a search
was instituted. Early today her body
was foun in an open field three hun
dred yards from the spring in which
Mullen met his death. There were
two bullet wounds in her chad, and
the local police are of the opinion that
Mullen shot and killed Mrs. Durarnt
and then shot himself at the edge of
the spring. To make death doubly
sure, the police say, Mullen threw him
self into the spring water.
Jealousy is believed to have been
the cause of the double tragedy. For
some time past Mullen and Mrs. Du-
rant had been intimate. For time
she kept house for him, but of late
another man had been receiving her
attentions, and this is believed to have
made Mullen Jealous. Both Mrs. Du :
rant and Mullen We're about so years
of age
The medical examiner held an au-
topsy over the bodies today.
Mullen, according to the police, had
berry and other offenses. Mrs. Durant's
husband, the police say, is at present
an inmate of the Rockingham county
farm at Brentwood.

now that can be attempted this sea-
son as the funds are limited and the
season is well along. The additions
TO the funds are few and far between,
it is reported, although the treasury is
always ready to receive more.
1t is probable that the association
will make plans in the fall for the
establishment of some skating ponds
about the city which will be safe and
allow the participating in that sport
which is now within the reach of only
a small portion of the children and
older people. The details of this plan
have not been worked out, but will
