The plea for Sunday games which ap-

men, the running for men, the wrestling,
the throwing Of the sledge and the pitch

as have at any time heretofore or now

years later, however, all was. changed.

Dolly Madison's Icehouse.

TUST when ice was first stored in win

is probably not a matter Of record. It
Is known, however, that Gen. Washing

At Montpelier, the home of President
Madison, in Orange county, Va. there
still exists the little building, built in
the form Of Grecian temple, in which
Madison kept the ice for summer use.
The upper part Of the building with its
swelling dome Is supported by slender
columns. which. as it stands at the end
Of q walk bordered by evergreen trees.

The story is told that this ice house
Dolly. Madison's wife. And in spite Of
the fact that Mount Vernon had SINH
lar building at that time, it is also relat-
ed that 1t was the only one in that sec
ton, causing great wonder among the
surrounding farmers when 1t was known
that Mrs. Madison was digging out a
house with the idea of keeping ice until
summer.
Madison, who approved of the idea,
met such opposition on the part Of the
overseer Of his plantation and made with
that worthy q bet Of ice for his Fourth
Of July mint julep against fine tur-
key gobbler for Christmas dinner. 1t
Is needless to say that Madison won.
Today the icehouse is turned into a

On Pronouncing Latin.
the sprIngneId Rcpublicar

From the Springfield Republican.
Latin pronunciation in England is again
a. subject of controversy, and 1t is rather
surprising to find SO distinguished a
Latinist as Oxfoid's public orator, A. D:
Cooley. arguing for return to the Eng
lish method as cure for the present
confusion. At a recent assembly Of head
masters attention was called to the sad
lack of uniformity. and the headmaster of
Bradfield frankly called Latin at the uni
versities "a cacophonous farrago.' To
this NJ. Cooley quite assents, but the
least euphonious speakers, he thinks, are
to be found among the most ardent advo-
Gates Of the new" method. which is, Of
course. essentially the method long in
general use in this country. Upon this
question Of euphony what the public
orator of Oxford has to say is Of special
interest. for he is one of the few men
who have to use Latin freely in address
ing large assemblies. On the other hand
It is possible that he may have personal
bias in favor Of the system by which he
was trained. not only because the old
sounds are easier for his tongue, but be-
cause he feels that they may be easier
for his hearers to comprehend, which is
a good thing even when an address is
given in dead language. But while full
weight will be given to his opinion, some
Of his arguments are perhaps open to
question. Englishmen, he says, are sell
dom able to pronounce the languages OF
Latin races, and therefore the sounds
emitted by the learned when they essay
the Roman" method are grotesque and
ugly. That there is an element of truth
in this may be granted: with no special
practice pupils can pronounce Latin as
though it were English, while those who
with no oral training try to pronounce it
in foreign fashion often make it sound
stiff and unreal. book language and not
remotely resembling any human speech.
But with half dozen years or more for
the study of Latin, why should not time
be found for a little actual experience of
one Of the most closely related living
languages like Italian or Spanish?

An Interesting Letter.

G ONE time ago there was sold at auc
- ton in Philadelphia, for the sum o.
$4250, a historical letter with reference
to the battle Of Bunker Hill It was writ
ten by jackson Hall, surgeon in the Con-
tinental army. to Elbridge Gerry. one Of
the signers Of the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence 1t is dated Portsmouth. June
q, 1775, just ten days after the battle
was fought. ~
1t will be remembered that of the 5000
British troops engaged 1,054 were killed
or wounded, while the loss Of the Ameri-
cans was $50 killed and wounded. The
British carried the breastworks on the
third assault and after the scanty am
munition of the Americans was ex-
hausted.
DR.. Halls letter reads:
"On my way home I met with Mr.. Rob-
erts, who came out of Boston Friday
last. His account Of :the killed and
wounded is much the same as that In
Edds & Gill Watertown paper. But when
I arrived home found that George Me-
serve our collector of the customs, had
got from Boston.
He left Boston Saturday, and gives
the following infamous and false repre-
sentation Of the affair-that so OF the
kings troops only were killed and wound
ed that most Of the wounded were since
dead owing to the following circum-
stances, that all the balls fired by our
people were poisoned.
"They were Che said) first dipped into
some glutinous matter, then rolled In
white arsenic and dried; that he himself
saw box containing sixty pounds weight
thus poisoned taken from or Bunker Hill.
This box was sent, or is to be sent, home.
This story is believed here by the gov
ernment party.
HE further adds that the troops were
highly enraged at this unnatural and
savage conduct, and that they swear re-
venge. You see, dear sir, to what straits
they are driven to palliate their disgrace
and shagreen (sic) at so great loss Of
officers and men. to enrage the soldiers,
to deceive the good people at home.
They have continued this abominable
scheme. but hope that you will take
such measures as will make this noto-
rious falsehood add still more to their
shame and confusion"
