o,conneII a. an orator.

Few orators have been so fortunate as Daniel O'Connell in their physical appeal to the senses. Grattan, Cur ran, Emmet, Shell and Meagher were small men, not the least impressive to the eye. O'Connell was a man of royal aspect. His voice was seductiyely musical-the most musical, according to Disrneli, ever heard in the house of commons. It was soft, of great com pass, capable of expressing every i'm aginable emotion. His eyes, light in color and full, flashed or beamed or burned, according to the sentiment ex- pressed. His contemporaries all men, tion the expressibil,,.,y of his mouth. His gestures were fE9 and bold. not in the least suggestive of elocution and yet infinitely graceful and apt There was nothing in his manner indicative of preparation. His manner was easy and without effort. Wendell Phillips. who heard him, says in his lecture: "We used to say of Webster, This is a great effort of Everett, It is a beau tiful effort but you never used the word effort in speaking of O'Connel. It provoked you that he would not make an effcrt. ."-"The Irish Orators. !" by Claude G. Bowers.

AMERICAN RED
 CROSS. WORKERS
 HERE NEED HELP
Women Meet Daily at Home of Mrs. Glover to Foil for
 Soldiers Comfort.

Although from 10 to 25 women are
 devoting their mornings to working
 for the American Red Cross branch,
 meeting each day at the residence of
 Mrs. Henry S. Glover, in Fairfield,
 the work is of such great proportions that more people who can give their time to it are needed urgently. In addition to making bandages and preparing comfort bags" for the sol- diers at the Mexican border, the | workers arrange the various other articles to be sent them. Miss E. Mac farlane, a graduate nurse, who is de- voting much of her time to the work, 1 has been at Mrs. Glover's home sev- | eral mornings teaching the proper
 methods of preparing bandages and
 other surgical dressings.
 There is great need of old linens for the bandages which may be sent to the branch at Mrs. Glover's. Peo-
 pie wishing to contribute money to the
 work will receive the gratitude of the
 entire branch as well as the consola-
 tion of knowing that they are adding | to the comfort of the defenders of their country. Magazines of all kinds, | and books are also much desired. As the dust where the soldiers are is parching to their threats, contribu- l tions of chewing gum are much so- | licited.
 Each comfort bag includes black | sewing cotton, No. 30; white sewing cotton, No. 30; black alarming cotton;
 needles, No. 5; alarming needles, needle case; buttons, black and white, me- dium size; large thimble; blunt-point- ed scissors; cake of soap; safety pins. | medium size; common pins; small | comb; tooth brush; tooth powder; small round mirror; handkerchiefs; lead pencil; writing pad and envel- | opes; playing cards; collapsible alum
 mum drinking cup, and pocketknife. All contributions should be sent to
 Mrs. Glover as quickly as possible as
 the need is a present one and the workers will endeavor to dispatch them to the border immediately.

Curious Tornbstones.

On a gravestone in the parish churchyard of Great Yarmouth, Eng land, there is sculptured the unusual representation of a clown seated in a tub, which is being drawn down a riv- CT by two swans. Beneath this stone drowned years ago by the collapse of an iron suspension bridge on which they had crowded to see a clown pass underneath in the manner described The feat, which was novel form of advertisement by a travelling circus, was actually performed, but the rush of people from one side of the bridge to the other after the man had passed under caused the tragic ending.

1ha Evil Eye.

It is probable that the "evil eye" for which many hapless old women were harried to their death on the suspicion of witchcraft in 'the good old days" was no moro than a common suuint. A least" in the eye, or "bossing," as it is called in many parts of the country to this day, writes Dr. N. Bishop Har- man in the British Journal of Chil- dren's Diseases. Not only was the squint thought to be of evil signifi- canoe, but the defect itself was con- sidered to be the work of evil spirits. In "King Lear" we find the following in the scene on the heath at night:
 "This is the foul fend Flibbertigib- get He begins at curfew and walks till the first cock; he gives the web and the pin, squints the eye and makes the harelip, mildews the white meat and hurts the poor creature of earth"

Especial to the Farmer. )

Newtown. Aug. At the district meeting of Sandy Hook, Saturday evening, the resignation of John L. Sanford, district collector, was accept ed and choice was made of John H. Keane as his successor. The latter will proceed at once to collect the un- collected balance of the tax levy, about $200, which amount will be ap- piled in paying the expenses of car rying out the recommendations of im- provements suggested by the board of education.
 Mrs. Paetsch of Bridgeport vistcd her daughter, Miss Winnifred Paetsch Sunday.
 The future of baseball in Newtown looks dubious, owing to the discour- agement of the team members and manager caused by the failure of the citizens to properly support their eff forts.

There were no lightning rods in an cient times. The first one that the world ever saw was set up by our own tllustrious countryman Benjamin Franklin shortly after the year 1752. He had just had his celebrated expert ment with the kite, in which he dem onstrated the identity of lightning with electricity, and was therefore prepared for the construction of the rods for which the world had waited so long. It is not generally known that Franklin was as distinguished in science as he was in statesmanship and diplomacy.-Exchang

ALL IS READY FOR
MAINE-BATESR RUN At
LEWISTON TODAY

The stage is all set for the State cross
country run at Lewiston tomorrow. Ar
rangements have been made for the in
specting of the course and all possible
care will be taken to avoid the mishap In
the Maine-Bates race when Gregory Of
Bates lost to Dempsey Of Maine by a
narrow margin after being directed from
the real course. The Bates track is
partly torn up, but this will not inter-
fere with the race, so the management
asserts.
Sparrow Robertson of New York has
consented to act as referee of the race.
He Is we'll known official in New York
and is starter at many of the big races
there. Everything promises ideal condi-
tons for the race. Most of the men are
familiar with the course. Bates and
Maine held dual race over it two weeks
ago and the Bowdon men have been over
it also. They walked over it and then
some ran over it Tuesday. Colby men
then are the only ones who may not feel
at home over the fve-mile route.
Maine has won this race in the four
times that the State title has been in
competition in cross-country and by vir-
tue of that has secured permanent possess
sion of the cup which was first offered.
The cup which is put up this year will
have no lien on it and this should cause
all the harder scramble for the first leg.
