kSs ESSX EGa mystery.
EsgZ2eI ARNU Upon the man-shape
mound which marks his
new-made grave in Gods Acre, lit
tie way out from the sleepy drone OF
Dana, Mass. two offerings of flowers
rest side by side-one the remem-
brance of a friend of Lorimer, the
star of the drama, the other the token
of friend of Lowell, the pastor OF
flock
Lorimer was both. He lived his
life along parallel lines. He believed
he was called to deliver message to
mankind But, while knowing In
which direction his life work lay. he
was not so certain how he should
play his part. And so he told his
story, now to a congregation in lit
tie church with helpful voices in the
organ loft. and now to an audience in
a theater, with orchestra in front of
the footlights. He was dramatic in
the pulpit, he preached from the
stage.
And at thirty-seven. believing that
he had failed in his mission. he fixed
day on which it should end, and
died tragically
One may not write the full story
of this actor-preacher's mysterious
life. There are gaps in it which are
hard to bridge, as there are things In
1t which are hard to explain.

May Be story of His Life.

1t may be that in the novel Against
the Tide" which he himself penned
during his early ministry, and which
strangely turns up just after his
death. the story is told Rev. DR..
Baldwin, Baptist clergyman of Troy,
who prepared the preface to 1t. says
that 1t is.
While he. whom theater goers knew
as Lorimer, was still slip of boy
In Athol. Mass, he was left an or
phan. A family of the name of Low
ell, at Cape Elizabeth, up the bleak
Maine coast near Portland, adopted
him and gave him the name-Walter
M. s. Lowell-by which, In turn. he
was known.
A fund was forthcoming to educate
him-a fund large enough to see him
through Colgate university and per-
NIT him to enjoy the broadening ad-
vantages of Oxford university, Eng
land. As student he became an
idealist. He took step to the seri-
Gus.
Returning to this country he enter
ed the ministry, believing, as he said.
that one whom kindly fortune had
favored with an education should use
his talents in field wherein there
was an opportunity to uplift others.
His first pastorate, as the story now
Is told, was in the arsenal town of
Watervliet, suburb of Troy, in 1902,
where he was admired alike for the
fervor of his oratory aud his earnest
ness and enthusiasm in the service of
his flock

 The presentation of the cup was a very great surprise to the members of Hammonassett tribe, and large at tendance of members gave the Strat- ford tribe a rousing welcome. St. Claire Corson, drillmaster of the To- cal tribe,- was also surprised with a handsome loving cup as a token of his efforts on last Labor Day when Ham mOnassett tribe presented the finest appearance in line in the great Strat- ford parade.
 Okenuck tribe trailed to New. Haven in a special car, 65 strong, arriving here about o'clock. Nearly all of Hammonassett's members were on hand and many visitors from N1nigret and Tountenemoe. The nature of the evenings fun was kept from all until the Stratford men filed into the room

They left town in a special car at Il clock after vowing that indeed, Ham monassett had entertained them roy ally and after Hammenassett had thanked them many times for the splendid cup. that Is now on exhibi- tion on Church street. /: |.

LORD NoRTHLAND, WHO WEEDS
 TO-DAY, IS A GAY BLADE

s.- - t-Fr
 His Lsordship, Yiscount Northland, son and their sof. "a, betted earl, is a brave young man, even if itsis ,whis- pered in London drawing rooms that he is a gay blade, not to mention be- ing something of a sad dog. Lord Northlands bravery consists, of defy ing superstition of being born and marrying on the thirfSenth day of a month, said month being June. Thirty years ago today, June. 13,. 1SS2,. an heir was born to the Earl and Coun- tess of Ranfirly, and to-day, According to cables from London, thes young mo- ble will marry Miss HiIda Cooper, younger daughter of the late Sir Dan- formed at St. Margaret's, Westmins- ted.
 Among the scions of British nobility there are not few gay blades who work regularly at the job, but quite the gayest. according to report, was young viscount Northland. Gay blades have always been popular with the ladies, and as Lord Northland is Independently wealthy, with big es- tate and more imposing title in pros pect, and moreover handsome young ster, he had the choice of the mar riageab1e women of England. That his choice fell upon the younger QduSQCeT or UdIOucl ID d ti1OuIV ~ her beauty and charm.
 Not for worlds would mar the hap piness of the occasion by dragging skeletons from their closets. There fore. if the reader does not remember that Lord Northland figured promin- entity in the scandal that was aired in public as the result of the divorce suit brought by Capt. Sterling against his wife, lovely American actress, he need not look to me for information. Let the dead past bury it's skeletons.
 Lord Northland comes of a family long prominent in England and Amer ica and is a descendant of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania. The first titled member of the family was Baron Welles, created in 1781. Ten years later the title. of Viscount Northland was created. Baron Ran furly, of the United Kingdom, dates from 1926, and the EArldom of Rah- furly from 1881. The father of to- dayis bridegroom is the fifth Earl of only child of the seventh viscount Charlemont. The Earl of Ranfurly IS f1fty-nve years of age and since his succession to the title Tn 1875 has been prominent in affairs of state. He was formerly governor and commander-in- chief of New Zealand, and owns con siderable estates In that country and in Australia, as we'll as in England.
 The brides father, the late Sir Dan iel Cooper, owed his fortune and title to the Australian activities of the first Baronet, who was a wealthy mer- chant, banker and statesman of Syd- ney. New South Wales He was the first Speaker under the new constitu- ton of Australia in 1856, and later was president of the Bank of New South Wales. The mother of the bride was Harriet, daughter of Sir James Grant Suite, whose baronetcy dated from 1702
 To-day's wedding is the most impor tant of some three score ceremonies, uniting persons of social prominence, that have been performed or will take place during the month in England.
