The Late Cassius A. Pratt.

The Burlington (Vt.) Daily News of
Friday, April 28th, contained the fol
lowing notice of the death and funeral
of the late Cassius A. Pratt, brief ac-
counts of whose tragic death have ap-
peared in this paper of the past two
weeks:
Cassius A. Pratt, who was run down
and instantly killed on the Main street
crossing by moving car Wednesday
about 9 a. m., was a leading citizen
of the town and most widely known
and respected. He was a son of Cur
It's P. and Celinda Austin Pratt and
was born in Milton August 27, 1S4S.
He had held all the town offices for
years represented his town in the Ver-
mont legislature in 1886, was leader
in the Congregational society and
church, a member of Seneca lodge F. &
A. NJ, and a man his townspeople
could ill afford to lose. For several
years he had passed the winter season
at Crescent City, Fla, and many d
fine crate of citrus fruits of his own
raising had been forwarded to his Mil
ton friends without money and with
out price. Only Monday night he
had returned from the South and was
busily engaged getting in readiness
for the pleasant summer to be passed
at his village home and at his cot
tage at Camp Rich.
On January 81, 1872, he married
Miss Harriet F. Hendricks who sur
wives him with their three daughters,
Lena, Mrs. Arthur Wann of New York
city. Lillian, Mrs. Porter G. Pierpont
of Savannah, Ca, and Emma, Mrs.
John A. Drew of Romney, N. II. Mr.,
Pratt was trying to cross over the
three tracks from the Kennedy store
to the station and reach his home
farther down on Main street. A work
train was standing near the crossing
on the east track and long freight
was passing over the main line west
track. Mr.. Pratt started north on the
middle track and did not notice in the
roar of so much traffic that the way
freight had cut off and was sending
loose cars down the track he was on
until q car run him down and passed
over the middle of his body causing
almost instant death. DR.. Coburn
wos rushed to the scene but he was
hevond human aid. His remains were
removed to Martins undertaking
rooms and prepared for burial. -.

TIRES OF A MOTORCAR.
Why They Are Found Heated After a
Long and Fast Run.


1t is we'll known that after a long
and fast run the tires of an automO.
bile are found to be very hot, and
many have supposed this is the result
of the friction of the tire on the road
The Scientific American says that such
is not the case, at least as to the great.
er portion Of the heat
'The real cause of heating" says that
magazine, "ls the internal friction of
the tire itself, for as the tire is being
constantly detected by contact with
the road the various piles, or layers.
which compose the tire do not act uni
formly, and consequently there is more
or less motion between them that re-
suits in friction and heat. The great.
er the change in shape in the tire as 1t
contacts with the road the greater will
be the friction.
"Of course the harder the tire is pump
ed the less will be the friction, but It
is evident that, while a perfectly rigid
tire would generate but little heat, it
would fail in giving easy riding. So
we must put up with some heating and
consequent wear of the tire. The sub
ject is one that is being successfully
studied by the tiremaker"

The Bartlett Picnic.

The picnic and fish fry given by Mr.
j.. L. Bartlett in the oak grove and on
the banks of the pretty lake in front
of his home, Coax Crest" last Sat
urday was one Of the best attended,
most thoroughly enjoyable affairs of
the kind this friend of picnics ever
gave-and he has given many. 1t
was also as enjoyable an affair as any
one ever gave in this section.
The people began to arrive early
in the forenoon; by noon there was
an immense crowd. Nearly if not all
the county candidates were present
from Palatka and other points.
DR.. j. H. Ross, president of the
Florida Citrus Exchange, Mr.. L. D.
Jones, secretary and business mana
ger, and other Exchange officials were
also there.
The dinner was served promptly at
II o'clock. Mr.. Bartlett had long ia
bles in the grove, substantial as
they had to be to hold the great guam
titles of food which was thereon
spread At his own expense he serv-
cd over 500 pounds of fish, and gal
ons of black coffee. The other peo-
pie brought baskets. The invocation
was delivered by Rev. Mr.. Stubbs of
the Methodist church.
The young people and children en-
joyed the swimming in the pretty
clear water lake.
At the close of the dinner, Rev. R.
L. Bonsteel, pastor of the Baptist
church, was introduced to preside over
the speaking program. He said some
gracious words of welcome for Mr..
Bartlett and calculated to make the
strangers feel at home. He then in
troduced DR.. Ross of the Citrus Ex-
change DR.. Ross is pleasing, en-
tertaining speaker. He told of the
conditions confronting the citrus
growing industry; how fast it was
growing and the difficulties in get
ting good prices for the grower under
the present system of competitive
handling, or marketing Of the crops.
He estimated that in a few years the
total crops of California and Florida
would reach 100000 boxes, when, un-
less the growers protected themselves
by uniting in a common marketing
agency, they would find the business
DR.. Ross told of the
methods employed by the Exchange,
said that it was a cooperative agen-
cy of the growers themselves and was
under their direct control. When he
left the platform there was no doubt
in the minds of his hearers, but that
he had made friends for the Exchange.
Short talks were made by Candi-
dates for the legislature, Messrs. Rus
sell, Mckenzie and Tilghman, and also
by Mcssrs. Calhoun and Blackwell,
candidates for county judge.
1t was growing dusk when the last |
Of the picnicers left the grove re-
uctantly. They will all long remem-
Der the hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bartlett, and their charming young
Miss Martha, who looked
after the happiness of the children.

village cemetery. Mr.. Pratt was born
here. where he had always lived with
the exception of the winters which he
had passed in Florida for number
OF years. He will be much missed
by a host of friends, and especially
by the Congregational Church, of
which he was trusted member, and
OF which he was deacon for several
years. He was also trustee of the
permanent fund.

Hanged the Clever Foraer.

OF curious petitions against the
death penalty being enforced one re.
calls the eighteenth century case OF
William Lyland. who was sentenced
for forging bill for ELLA on the
East India House. The forgery was
a work Of art No less than thirty
signatures were initiated, and at the
trial not one Of the victims could
swear that the signature was not his
own However, with the help Of the
paper manufacturers Ryland's guilt
was brought home. Then came the
petition of his friends. So clever a
man ought never to be hanged, they
pleaded. His craftsmanship should
save him. 1t gained him a respite.
He was allowed to finish a fine en-
craving he had begun. but nothing
more. Though the engraver was IA
vorite of George H.. that king quite
failed to see how forgery could be
excused on the ground that it was a
clever forgery Pail Mall Gazette.

Perstmmons as Food,

The only fruit, says bulletin of
the department of agriculture, which
equals the perSimmon in its value as
a food is the date. Nevertheless many
persons with fine persimmon trees in
their possession are allowing the fruit
to go to waste, either through ig-
norance of the many uses to which it
may be put or through prejudice.
There is saying in the persimmon
country that persimmons are good for
dogs, hogs and 'possums." This, how
ever, is declared to be . gross injustice
to very valuable product.
One reason for the neglect of this
fruit Is the mistaken idea that per
simmons are unfit to eat until they
have been touched by frost As a
matter of fact. much of the best fruit
is lost every year because 1t ripens and
falls to the ground, where, not being
touched by frost it Is left to rot Such

CHICAGO, July 14-Wheat showed a downward tendency most of the time today, influenced largely by cooler weather in the nortn vest, a condition likely to retard black rust.

 Considerable selling pressure was inducted by London and Petrograd despatches referring to possibility of a separate peace with Austria. Re ports. however. that some fields in South Dakota already displayed evi- dence of black rust damage led to a general rally in prices.
 Announcement that the British gov eminent was to fix prices tomorrow on a large amount of reserve supplies at Lire pool s,,i elsewhere dld a good deal to check new buying here. Ad- vances in ocean freight rates counted likewise against the bulls.
 Corn sagged with wheat. Oats were relatively firm.

BOSTN. July 14.-The zinc stocks were the feature of the local market today, selling up a couple points. The selling pressure seems removed in the issues now and they should enjoy a good rise from here. Traders raid ed the war stocks again today but did not force out any new liquidation. Around the closing hour there was q buying movement by short who car ried prices up rather brickly. There is still a very large short interest in the market and will be forced to cover. Stocks are scarce now and prices will advance sharply under this urgent buying.
