BROKEN UP By MOSQUITOES.

Milford, Aug. 3i.-Bad luck ATTENDED
the open-air community services that Were
held this year on the Sunday nights dur
ing August, on the Plaza. Only twice out
of five times could the services be hnish-
ed. Twice rain came during the midst
of the services and all the congregation
had TO seek shelter hurriedly.
Last Sunday night, which gave every
appearance Of permitting the services
to go through uninterrupted, presented
new and novel form Of interruption.
Just as the preaching service began,
swarms Of mosquitoes appeared and their
attacks became so unbearable that once
again the crowd was forced 20 disperse
The service on Sunday night brought
70 close the series Of combined services,
as commencing next Sunday night, the

testant' churches which took part in The
open-air gatherings, viii open for the full
fall and winter program and vii hold

FAMOUS HOUSE STILL STANDS
Mansion Erected by Thomas Hancock
on Beacon HILL Boston, Splendid
Piece of Architecture.

The first house of distinction to be
BUILT on Beacon hill, in Boston, the
highest of three elevations which gave
to the city the name Of ''Tri-moun-
tain," and which was the center Of
military, social and religious life, was
erected by Thomas Hancock, an uncle
of the Revolutionary hero. This was
In 1877.
It was beautiful mansion, built
of stones swith the ground laid out in
orchards and gardens, and it was here
that the first tree nursery in Boston
was started Inside great taste was
shown in the furnishings, the drawing
room containing a rare set Of birds
eye maple, covered with red damask.
Hancock was a lavish host, and
gave famous breakfast to the officers
of the French feet.
While the French troops were in Bos-
ton forty or more of the officers dined
at the house every day. On one oeca-
sion, however. so many unexpected
guests appeared that Madam Hancock
was driven to despair to know how
to provide for them, SO she had serv-
ants milk all the COWS pastured on the
common, whether this was agreeable
to their owners or not. The house is
yet considered a splendid piece of
architecture.
