Where Ho Used to Kccuperato and "Wliero Ho Found His Charming Wife How Ho "Was Eegarded ly His Simple Friends 2ear His Country Home. Away Tip in the hills of Norfolk coun ty, nestled among the woods, about a Imile and a half from the town of Walpole, there stands what is now Jmown as the Cobb Farm, but at one time this was the home of the la mented tragedian, Lawrence Barrett, and as such it is known for miles around. The old settlers delight in pointing it out to visitors. These same people also love to speak of the good old times when Mr. Barrett came home. They all speak of the tragedian as "Mr." Barrett. In an interview with one aged resi dent of the locality much of the late actor's career was learned. "Why, yes; every one in these parts remembers the young actor, and also his charming wife. It used to be quite a time when he returned after a long tour, and it was along the shady lanes and in pretty nooks in the woods that he sought rest and quiet for his overworked brain. "But I tell you it did not take him long to recuperate. He would have hardly been here a week -before he "would be wandering off into the woods, book in hand, to study. Come, and I "will show you one of his favorite spots where I have known Mr. Barrett to stay for hours, rehearsing his part, with nothing but the birds and squirrels for his auditors, so far as he knew. But many is the time that a few of us neigh bors have stolen down to within earshot of the actor and listened to his words. It was a great treat for us all." BARKETT E LOVE. In answer to the inquiry as to how Mr. Barrett came to reside among them the old gentleman gave quite a chuckle, and with his face wreathed in smiles, said: "Why, bless your heart, ho fell in love with one of our pretty girls. I say one, because we have always had many in this district. She was a Mary Mayer, who lived with her uncle, John M. Mayer, who then resided at the old homestead. "You see, Mary was a bright, intelli gent girl, who had been given an excel lent education by her father, Philip Mayer. He kept a ccJecti oner's stoie on Tremont street, Boston, and al though Mary lived out here with her uncle she frequently visited her parent? and thero became acquainted with N Barrett. They formed a friendship which soon ripened into love, and mar riage was the result. "After their marriage they made the farm their home. It was here their charming daughters were reared and educated, and I tell you 'papa's' home coming every summer was quite a time for the people of the North End. Wo had grand times, and no one appeared to enjoy them more than did the young and at that time rising actor. "He lived among us many years, and every one in those days had a kind word for Mr. Barrett; ho was respected by all who came - contact with him. Ho was generous to a fault, and many are the people who have lived throughout the year on the bounty he bestowed during his short sojourn in the summer months. I remember that during one of his visits he offered to erect a house for a worthy man and his family and pay the whole bill. "It was his many acts of charity that made him beloved by the people up here. We had stirring times in those days. Mr. Barrett and his friends used to make things lively, and his genial, generous disposition was in a measure infectious, and had a tendency to make every one pleasant. HIS GENEROSITY. "Yes, I have nothing but the most pleasant recollection of Mr. Barrett and his amiable wife when they lived m these parts. "Ho did for others what few men now adays would do with more inoney than ever he possessed. For years he support ed his mother, his widowed sister and family and man' people who had no claim whatever upon him. He always gave largely to any charity, and at times going short to do so. I remember his sister, Miss Barrett, coming to live at the farm, but she soon followed in the footsteps of her brother and married Mr. Tisdale, one of our townsmen. For the newly wedded pair he purchased a $5,000 house in Walpole. "As the summer months began to wane Mr. Barrett used to study very hard, and you could meet him in the road at all times talking to liimself. It was at these times that Mr. Barrett used to cause his friends much anxiety, as this hard study was too much for his over taxed brain, and he several times wan tiered away. On one occasion ho was caught just boarding a train at Dedham for Boston, having walked the whole seven miles with but little of his ordi nary wearing apparel on. But he always came around all right after a short rest. "It was just pie for us country fel lows to get Mr. Barrett to tell us some of his experiences while on 'the road,' as these theater people call it. Wo used to sit on that wall, and Mr. Barrett would hand out the cigars, and after we were all lit up reel off some fine stories that would bo well worth printing if I could only remember them. "I could tell you lots of good deeds performed by Mr. Barrett, but as most of the people are still alive it would hardly be fair. He was a most effec tionate husband, a loving father and a most estimable gentleman, and nothing but regrets were expressed when he de cided to leave us for Cohasset; but what was Walpole's loss was Cohasset's gain.''

An atrocious murder recently occurred at Rising Sun, Md. J. Granville Richards, ex-member of the Maryland legislature, retired early, extinguishing the lamp and leaving the room in darkness. About mid night Mrs. Richards was awakened by a noise in the room. In the dim light she saw a man opening the bureau drawers. She awoke her husband, who, grasping his MRS. J. GRAXVILLE RICI1ARDS. revolver from underneath the pillow, sprang up and shouted: "Who's there? Speak, or I'll Gre." In an instant the bur clar flred, and Mrs. Richards fell back in the bed dead with a bullet in her brain. I Mr. Richards returned the fire, and there was a rapid exchange of shots, two ot which took effect in the lower part of Rich ards' body. Not content -with this the mur derers (there were two of them) beat Rich ards severely with an iron bar. The neigh-! bors were aroused and a lynching party ' organized, but no trace of the ruffians could bo found. A Kiss Followed by a Scream. Here is the story of a girl who made a threat, got a kiss, kept her word, and then pulled her too eager swain out of an awk ward dilemma. The man who had the scare lives at Louisville, and tells the tale himself. While making a call he said that he attempted to kiss a pretty girl, and just as he got his arm around her slender waist she said if he dared she would scream. Not wishing to have a scene, which such an action would cause, he withdrew his arm and resumed his seat at the other end of the ofa. In an instant the pretty girl said, "Oh, I thought you were braver than that." She. however, ob stinately refused to let him kiss her, but she likewise threatened to scream if he should attempt it. He thought he would profit by his former experience, ami-paid no attention to the warning. Re kised her; she screamed. Her mother camo in aud demanded an explanation. The girl camo to his rescue, however, and P.dd a mouse was in the room, and she had screamed as it ran across the floor. Fur thermore, By saying that the young man had gallantly tried to catch the mouse bhe explained his blushes to the mother's Enli&fartjr.g Eno Furniture Co. 106 West Douglas Ave. REFEIGERATOBS, ICE CHESTS and GfflLDBENS CABBIAGES.

A correspondent asks, What is the "dust destructor?" The dust destructor is a group of furnaces set in an inclosed space containing the requisite yards and buildings used for consuming the rub bish which is swept off the London streets, which amounts to many thou sands of tons in a year. The furnace house is approached by an incline drive way leading to a covered place above the furnaces. In this place tho scaven gers' carts shoot their rubbish, which by simple apparatus is dropped into tho furnaces, where it is speedily converted into "clinker." This clinker is then re moved and broken up. Some of it is ground, somereground, and some ground a third time. In the ward are seen piles of broken and ground clinker, some of course lumps, Eome resembling gravel, some looking like the finest sand. For all this material there is a use. Some of it goes to form the foundation of roads; some, mixed with tar, is made into a durable pavement; some makes admira ble sand for mortar and cement, and some is made into imitation stone for sidewalks. In the Battersea district of London the parish wagon houses, stables, blacksmith shops, etc., have been constructed entirely of this imita tion stone made from the refuse of do mestic dust bins and the streets. If any of tho residents of the parish want any of the broken or ground clinker for any purpose they are per mitted to take as much of it as they can carry away in barrows or carts. Noth ing goes to waste. The process of cre mation is cheap, and this method of dis posing of the refuse of a crowded dis trict has had a wholesome effect from a sanitary point of view. In Battersea the death rate has gone down from eighteen to eleven. New York Com mercial Advertiser. How a Great Steelyards Salt Ended. Two Penobscot county farmers had bought an old fashioned pair of steel yards, each paying part of the cost, and both used them for weighing their produce for market After a time a dis pute arose and both claimed to own them. The matter was carried into court. A trial was held before a jury, and the jury disagreed. Then the case, on some technicality, was sent to the L-iw court, and was again sent back for trial. The costs up to this point had reached about 500, about a hundred times the original cost of the steelyards. When it came up again Judge Peters was the presiding 3ustice. He told the counsel that, if continued, the costs would be increased to such an extent that one or the other of the parties would lose his farm in order to pay, and advised them to enter it '"neither party," and divide the cost as it was. After a consultation the paries said that they- Send for W. T. BISHOP & SONS, Headquarters for all grades of CIG-JRS Southwest WHOLESALE BOOTS AND SHOES.

All at once one of the contestants went over to his counsel in the court room and asked: "But who is going to get the steelyards? I'll be hanged if he shall have them." The other contestant made the same declaration. Then the counsel rose and said the case was just where it was before any talk of settlement had been made. They were willing to stop litigation and divide the cost, but "what could be done with the steelyards?" "I'll fix that," said Judge Peters. "Let the sheriff of the county take the steel yards at night and go down and throw them into the middle of the river, let ting nobody know the exact spot, so they never can be recovered by any one." The contestants agreed to that proposi tion, each paid his proportionate part of the cost, and the case was dropped. Lewiston Journal. An Abused language. It is curious to note what vulgarisms creep into the American language, even the language spoken by well educated, not to say cultured, people. Just at pres ent the ear is harrowed by a phrase, or rather a word, much used by our belles who assist afternoon hostesses at that function called a "tea." "My dear," says one girl to another, "I'm invited to pour for Mrs. Commonwealth next Wednesday." "Oh, are you? Y,rell, she asked me to turn, but I had another engagement." Heavens and earth, I thought, what is the meaning of "pour" and "ram?" It was eome timo before the verbs and their implied noun made a connection in my brain, and then the desire stand these young women in a corner was so intense I retired to avoid a demonstration. The century has indeed grown old and lazy where the tongue find3 so small a word as "tea" difficult of utterance. To pour tea is about as simple a phrase as can be spoken, and to drop tho final word tea is to render it intolerably vul gar. The custom at large afternoon re ceptions here of having two good look- j ing girls perform this service, generally j imposed on servants in well appointed J houses in London, is thoroughly Amer- . ican, and so, too, is the abominable fault ' which has grown out of it, Boston Herald.

One of Them Averted a War The Sources of Inspiration of the Tour 'Writers Straage Fact About the Mcsio i of "America" How Key Composed His Lyric The four great lyrics of our country are "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,'' "Hail Columbia," "The Star Spangled Banner and "America." The first named was written by Tim othy Dwight, ancestor of Timothy Dwight, the present president of Yale college. He wrote other patriotic an thems, but "Columbia" is the only ona by which he became famous. Dwight was a native of MassachusettsJand a graduate of Yale. He studied law, intending to adopt it as a profession, but there being a dearth of chaplains in the Revolutionary anny he became one in Parson's brigade of tho Connecticut line and served some timo there. It was during this service that he composed the immortal song "Colum bia," which at once attracted general at tention, and from tho first becamo fa mous. It was composed without much thought, the times being full of patriotic feelings, which inspired the poet, and ho is said to have expected no moro than passing fame for his production. It was caught up, however, by tho patriots, and soon became known throughout tho struggling colonies. After tho war Dwight went baclc f o the pursuits inter rupted by his entering tho army, and eventually became president of Yalo college, a position which ho held until his death in 1817. Tho author of "Columbia" was a vol uminous writer, turning out many ex tended poem3 and books, but all seem to have been forgotten but the great lyric which he gave to his conntry dur ing tho strugglo for freedom. It will ever remain his monument. A EONO THAT TOLD. The word and music of "Hail Colum bia" were composed under tho American flag. Its author, Joseph Hopkinson, was a native of Philadelphia and tho 6on of a signer of the Declaration of Independ ence. Liko the composer of "Colum bia," ho was the author of many other things in proso and verse, but nothing has como down to onr day with any fame but his national song. "Hail Columbia" was written in tho summer of 179S, when wo wero having complications with Franco which threat ened to end in war. Hopkinson had an actor friend named Fox, who w.13 to have a benefit at a theater, and it was for him that the song was composed. Tho music which accompanied tho song, and to which it is sung today, was originally tho "President's March," which was written ten years before, on tho occasion of Washington's visit to New York, by a German orchestra lead er named Fyles. "Hail Columbia" sprang into sudden popularit, and it is said to have averted tho threatened war, as it incited national pride and roused the whole country. Joseph Hopkinson lived until 1842, fill ing various important offices and loved by all for tho great song ho had given to his nation. Ho helped to revise tho con stitution of Pennsylvania, was a warm friend of Joseph Bonaparto's during tho ex-kings sojourn in this country, and at the time of his death was holding tho office of United States judge for tho eastern district of his native state. INSPIRED BY BATTLC SMOKE. Of tho many national song writers none have enjoyed moro enduring famo than tho author of "Tho Star Spangled Banner." It is perhaps the greatest and most popular of all our songs and lyrics. It was composed amid tho roar of can non and the bursting of bombs, and 6eems to have sprang without efTort from the mind of its author. Francis Scott Key, tho author, was a prisoner in the hands of the British when the song was composed. Ho had gono down the bay at Baltimore, then being attacked by the British fleet, for tho pur pose of securing tho releaso of a friend who was held by the enemy. He carried a message from President Madison ask ing for tho prisoners release. The Brit ish commander agreed to tho request, but told Key that ho inu3t bo detained during the attack. Key and his friends were therefore held back, and it was while thev watched the terrific bombard ment of Fort McHenry, now and then losing sight of tho flag that waved over its ramparts, that ho wrote "Tho Star Spangled Banner." This took placo in 1814. "When ho was released Key took his poem back to tho city, where it was speedily printed to tho music of an old English song, "Anacreou in Heaven," and in a short timo was being sung all over the country. Dr. Smith's beautiful ode "America"' was also adapted to an English air, that of "God Save tho Queen." Strange to relate, this same melody anawera for tho national eong of tho German empire, Great Britain and Ireland, Bavaria, Switzerland, Brunswick, Hanover, Nor way, Prussia, Saxony, and does service m 'tho United States as "3Iy Country, Tis of Thee." "America" has no stirring history sur rounding its composition. It was com posed in 1832, and was first enng at a children's celebration at the Park Street church, Boston, on tho Fourth of July tho same year. Samnel Frand3 Smith, its author, i3 still living.

The Sarossa fca. The Sargossa sea is a region in tho At Iantic, about midway between southern Europe and America, extending from 21 to 23 degs. north latitude and between: 29 and 45 degs. west longitude. It de rived its name from a Portugueso word signifying a grape, and was so called be cause the seaweeds characteristic of the region bear on their branches small ait cells, which in shape are not unlike tha. grapo clusters. Tho weeds themselves are among the most peculiar of vegetable productions, sinco they liave no roots, nor any signs of fructification, and ara propagated by division. They float m tho water, sometimes in dense masses ex tending for miles. This portion of tho Atlantic is a great eddy, littlo affected by tho currents which surround it on every side, and tha stillness of tho water, it is supposed, had contributed to tho development of tho weeds in tho vast quantities in which they aro found. The floating masse were noticed by Columbus and his men, to whom they were a source of uneasi ness, as tho sailors bupposed they indi cated shallow water. Detached masses of the weed are often seen in tho Gulf stream, and tho long, yellow lines of floating weed are a sure indication of its closo proximity. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
