DEATH ROBERT BURNS

! s t
 :. Robert Burns, the famous Scottish poet, died on July 21, 1796, at Dunn fries. The last months of his life were spent in sickness which render ed him almost helpless. His wife at the time had a very hard time strug- gling along with five children, all of them infants. and expecting a sixth. Burns left his family almost penniIess and shortly after his death a subscrip- ton was taken up for them The great poet was buried on July 18th with military honors from the town hall of Dumfries. Burns himself was member of the Royal Dumfries. Volunteers and these were among the chief mourners. The whole country side followed the bier to its final rest ing place. The widow of Burns sur vived him a time equal to his own en- tire life-thirty- eight years. She died in the same room that he did, in March 1884. The celebrity he gave her As "bonnie Jean rendered her an object Of much local interest.

 years weighs upward of fifty stone, efourteen pounds to the stone), or Ieighty-Se stones, four pounds, London weight. which is ninety-one
 pounds more than the great MT. | Bright weighed. MT. 14ambert will cadilly, next Albany, nearly opposite St. James's church, from eleven to five. Tickets of admission, one shiil- 1 ing each Lambert died suddenly He went to. bed well at night, but ex- pired the following morning So great was his body that the. coffin, which contained 112 feet of elm, had to- be made square to fit. So heavy was the coffin that it had to be 1 built on wheels and rolled to St. Mar tn's churchyard. Of course, the re-
 mains could not be lowered inte~the
 grave in the customary manner,\so an incline was built which ran to it's bot
 tom. When the coffin was taken out of the house hge twalls had to be broken to permit it's passage to the open. The "great MT. Bright men | toned in Lambert's exhibition an-
 nouncement, was a grocer in Maiden,
 Essex. Bright came of a family Fknown for the. size of it's members
 who were all noted for their enormous
 appetites. Night married at the age
 of twenty-tw8 and had five children
 when he died lat the age of thirty,
 weighing 616 pounds. His coffin was | three feet deep and was drawn to
 the cemetery by. twelve men and was let down into the grave by an engine,
 fixed up at the church for the pur-
 pose. After his death a wager was
 laid that five men each twenty-one
 years of age, could be buttoned in his waistcoat. It was decided at the Black Bull Inn, at Maiden, when not
 only five, but seven men were en-
 closed in it, without straining a stitch I or breaking off a button Another | famous fat man was John Love, a l bookseller at Weymouth. Love in his l youth was so thin that his friends call ed in a physician as they thought he was going into consumption. The physician advised nutritious foods.
 Love, he became prosperous in his business, could indulge in these and soon greaw remarkably fat. In fact
 1t was fat that suffocated him at tAe age of forty, when he died, weighing 264 pounds.

CHAUNCEY OLCoTT

 2 How many Irish hearts have not
 beat a bit fast at the sight of Chaun-
 cey Olcott, that famous son of Erin,
 whose real name is John Chancel1or, born. in Buffalo, N. Y. fifty seven
 years ago. Of course to look at
 Chauncey, you wouldn't think he was that old. He looks as beautiful as ever and the girls all fail in love with him just. s-s much as they did twenty years ago. Chaunqey's love for things Irish naturally ledA him to the singing of sentimental Irish ballads, and what girl can resist good looks and an. Irish song? it was in 1880 that Olcott made his first appearance as a ballad singer with a minstrel show. Two years later he joined an- other organization of the same kind. Then followed a period with the Den man Thompson company and after that was engaged in light opera in
 ''s,''~ dr''nhia. After several years in
 England he returned to America to
 s,4 l14i .4rlsn or amas, in which he has made his greatest success He is re-
 garded as the leading Irish romantic singer in the country. He spends part of each year at his home in Fruitvil1e, CaE, and the rest at his beautiful residence in Saratoga, N. Y.

Certright reports that the first half of the plot, which was planted a. week earlier than the sec ond has produced a normal crop, put thatIthe later planting has been struck by blight, and insect pests, and Will be, by reason of this fact, almost a complete loss This plot, on which the peas have been raised, will be replew- ed and replanted during the coming week, with beets, turnips and parsnips.
 Whittier school began it's harvest ing yesterday in the picking of Refu- gee snap beans. Webster school be- gins on Monday, and from now on, the school parden produce will enter into te markets of Bridgeport in varying quantities. The children in the gar dens will share in the vegetables from the beginning. and are picking the heans and peas on shares, retaining one-third for themselves.

 and MT. Gortright discussing means for improving the school garden work, and plans for the coming harvest. District No. 1, with MT.

GERMANY BUSHES
 PLANES TO FIGHT
 AMERICAN PLIERS
Makes Feverish Prepara- tions for Great Air Of
 fensive by U. $.

Geneva, July 21--Reliable reports from Romanshorn say that airplanes of the latest models manufactured at the Zeppelin factory. at Friedrfchshafen are to be seen flying over Lake Con- stance.
 i The reports add that cessation of the manufacture of Zeppelins was due to the fact that German headquarters became convinced that Zerpelins were of little war value and that supre- macy in the air in the future belonged to airplanes.
 The Germans are also said to fear an extensive American aerial pro gram, and that therefore counter areial preparations have been started by them. It is stated that the work men in all the Zeppelin factories in Germany have been doubled in num- Der and that the airships on hand have been removed to unused sheds.
