L A KE VILLE-SE VENTEEN YEARS AFTER. By Rev John G. Oakley, D. D. A few weeks ago. when Northwestern Connecticut was ablaze in autumnal glory. I stopped at Lakeville .to visit some old friend; and I went to the cem etery on Town Hill, also to the one at Salisbury to see the grave of a little boy who bore my name to the tomb and the love of my heart to Heaven. , As I walked among the monuments in the cemeteries, and read familiar names, it seemed to me that there were more of my Lakeville friends asleep than awake. Seventeen Tears ago last spring I left New York for Lakeville, having , been appointed pastor of the Methodist Epis oopal chnroh in that beautiful village. When I arrived at Millerton, I learned that I would have to wait two hours and a half for a train to Lakeville. But who ever wanted to wait two hours aud a half in Millerton ? Taking the rail road track for a guide I walked to Lakr villa. ' I found the chnroh there not over attractive, and the parsonage was mnoh less attractive than the obnrch. 1 he fence around the parsonage wa still there, but much of it was lying, ap parently in great comfort,on the ground The parsonage had evidently been painted onoe, bnt there was no paiut on it then that was wort'i speaking of very definitely. The church had a big tow er and a big debt on it. It occurred io me that things might be changed for the better by taking the mortgage ff the church and putting some paint ou the parsonage. The ladies of the con creation fixed up the interior of the parsonage so that it was really inviting. I took a- hammer and removed the o'd Bash from the windows which Lad very small lights made of curled, kinked, knotted glass, and put new sash in which had large and clear glass through which we oould see things as they were. Then I mounted a ladder and painted the house. 1 also dug some post boles, put in some new posts, rebuilt the fence. and painted it. I reconstructed the walk in the front yard, went into land scape gardening and made some flower beds, and put a hitching post and store horse-block in front of the gate. The result of all this was to so change the appearance of the place that the people who drove in from the conntry for the first time since I commenced operation". would stop their horses in front of the parsonage and take a good look to se- what had happened. The people of the place approved of my plan to pay the church debt and made such liberal sub eoriptions that it was soon accomplished But 1 had an addition put on the par sonage which burdened them again with a small debt which was pil some time after I left. ; That addition now . form a part ol the beautiful new parsonage which is a great credit Mo the. L'xkevil'e Methodists and makes a very striking contrast with the old parsonage of seven teen years ago. I did not fall in love with the Like ville people at first sight: but sfrer I got thoroughly acquainted with them, I fell so deeply in love with them that I nev er have been aide to get .out. It ha never been my lot to live -among and serve a kinder, truer, more trust worth v people. During the three years I lived at Lakeville the people of all the church es, and those not belonging to any of the churches, were very kind to me.and I believe ihey are to everybody. In its scenery, in lis institutions, and in its social life, Lakeville is a model New England village. Bntto.be true to- the fact in the case, I must say that the place has greatly improved since I left it, and it may le that it wonld im prove still more if some others should leave it: but upon the whole it is about as nice a place as they make either in or out of Connecticut, I feel lonesome now when I visit Lakeville. I can count more than fif tv of my old friends, .who, during the past' seventeen years, have gone the wav wueuce mey win noi return. ji tne , it. . ;, . . . entire Official Board that I found in the Methodist chnroh not more than one i left io town..-! I am glad that improve ments hav been made in the place: but if I could see' Lakeville and the people in it as they were seventeen years ago my viHits would yield me much more pleasure than they do when I visit Lakeville not as it was, but as it is, 1 go to the western boundry r of mv old parish and find the houses in which I used to visit, but I do not ; find Peter P. Everts, Daniel Cook, James Van Deu sen, uol. Harris, - (Jharles and if red Everts, and Homer Oibbs. I walk little way eastward and stop at that beautiful residence near the lake where a friend need to show me his library and lend me a book, bnt (governor Hoi le v is not there now. I look no the road toward Mt. Riga, but there is no use of going np that way, for Esther Brad lev and Orville, too, have moved from that street, i 'I stop at the Lakeville post office, bnt I do not see Lot Norton who used to band me mv letters. On Town Hill I mine John Cleveland and manv others. But what a grand institution of learning crowns Town Hill now! Tliev tell me that a woman caused that dream of beauty to crystalize in stone. . May her name still live and be gratefullv re membered when a thousand years shall have rolled away. Returning toward the center of the village I notice a Stat Asylum on my left Yes; that is th place where ut. tx. ox. Jinight.gave me such cordial greetings when I called. A little further down the hill on my right is the house where lived aud died one of my truest friends. When I say that Col. Lorenzo Tnpper was that friend, I am quite sure that every one who knew him will say, "tie may have been yonr friend, but he was my friend, too. Once in a while we meet a man who seems to be a friend to everybody. Snob a man was Col. Topper. He has gone but he will not be forgotten Doctor and Jfred Cleveland are no longer seen going -about the village as in Hyears gone by. Frederick Holley came with his wagon to meet me and u5y family when we moved into the Diane and took ns from the station to ""le parsonage, xxe was a spienuiu .. .....

Does any one wonder that I feel lone some when I visit Lakeville where I pent three happy years of my life? he scenery about the place is about the same, but somewhat improved. The people may bo as wise and as good as ever, and the village a little more beau tiful. But the Lakeville of to-day . is not so dear to me as the Lakeville of seventeen years ago. ."Friend after friend departs, Who hath not lost a friend?" FORTY POISONED. On Nonunion Telegraph Operator oa th hlgb Killed by Arsenlo. Wilkksbarke, Pa., Dec. 11. G. W.

He Says He Threw the Missile Which Did Such Havoc Tn the Chamber of Deputies and Aimed It at President Dnpnys Head Sixty-three Persons Injnred. Paris, Dec. 10. While the chamber of deputies was in session Saturday a bomb was thrown from one of the galleries, and after a double report exploded in the midst of the lawmakers. A scene of terrible ex citement followed. The crowds in the gal leries were seized with panic, and through blinding smoke and dust fought fiercely to escape from the building. - Both in the galleries and on the floor of the chamber many persons, including wom en, were hurt more or less seriously, but so far as known only one person was fa tally injured. The number of wounded is over 60. Paris, Dec 11. After a day of great ex citement, following the explosion of a bomb in the chamber of deputies, the au thorities have announced that they have the bomb thrower in custody. The mis- creant is named Marohal. He is an an archist and has made a full confession. Marchal, it appears, was among the in ured persons taken to the Hotel Dieu, the large hospital on the north side of the Place du Parvls, Notre Dame. Marchal soon fell under the suspicion of the author ities, and, pressed by the prefect of police, he decided to. make a full confession and did so, glorying in his dastardly crime. The Anarchist Confesses. ,- Early in the day M. Lepine, the prefect of police, the publlo prosecutor and the ex amining magistrate visited the Hotel Dieu and had a long interview with Vaillant, who at first protested his innooenoe and" was apparently quite indignant at the na ture of the questions put to him by the dif ferent officials. . Finally the public prosecutor said to the suspect: 'Your name is Vaillant and not MarchaL as you claimed when you came to the hos pital." , After a moment of hesitation the sus pected rjan admitted his identity and con fessed 2at he had thrown the bomb, which, in exploding, wounded nearly 100 people in the chamber of deputies. When questioned as to his reasons for attempting to take the lives of so many people, vaillant replied defiantly: I wished to deal a thoroughly dramatic blow at the institutions of the country and wished to cause a great sensation. I en deavored to aim the, bomb at M. Dupuy, the president of the chamber of deputies. I glory iu the act, and I only regret that my hand swerved and that the bomb did not explode near the mark." This bold and defiant statement from the lips of the bandaged prisoner caused a sen sation even among the stern officials of the law, who were accustomed to startling sit uations and used to surprises of all kinds. There was so much bitter hatred in the an archist's tone as he delivered his defiance and gloried in his crime that even the pub lic prosecutor started and seemed to turn pale. Vaillant is a big blond man, with a heavy blond mustache and a hardened expression of countenance, which seemed to light up with a. strange nro as he described with much gusto and in great detail how the bomb was used. How the Bomb Was Made. Vaillant said that the bomb he used was a little iron saucepan which he bought at a bazaar near the Hotel de Ville quite re cently. He said the bomb saucepan, when loaded, contained "a number of nails which you found on the floor of the chamber. In side the saucepan was a tube with a com pressed center. In the tube were picric acid and prusslate of soda, these being sep arated at the point where the tube was compressed by a small ball of cotton sat urated with sulphuric acid, which at a giv en moment would be consumed by the sul phuric acid, thus allowing the picric and prussiate to mix aud cause an explosion." Experienced detectives, whose duty it is to devote themselves entirely to watching anarchists and reporting upon their do ings and sayings, express the belief that vaillant had a number of accomplices, but Vaillant replies to all questions on this subject with the remark: "You need not put yourself to the trouble of searching for accomplices. I alone did the deed." It is said that the total number of the in jured is 63. Of these 80 are deputies and 43 spectators. . Paris, Dec 12.

Minister Willis Beaews His Assoranoe to the Provisional Government President Dole Guarding Against Any Move of the Boyaltsta. San Francisco, Dec 9. The following hews from Hawaii was received by the schooner Transit, which left Honolulu on Nov. 19: During the afternoon the Alameda sailed Minister Willis made a statement virtually that nothing definite would be done here until he had received a reply to dispatches sent to Washington by the Alameda. This statement was published in The Star. Yes terday The Bulletin published a letter from Minister Willis in which he said he wished his remarks in The Star to apply to the entire press of Honolulu. The stand taken by Minister Willis In his Interview with The Star, which was revised iu proof by him before publication, caused considera ble anxiety in government circles, owing to the intimation that any breach of the peace would be punished by the American minister. To the Associated ..Press his words were, "Any trouble preSpitated on the other side would be stopped at once by the United States forces." On the morning of the 17th, the day after the Alameda left. President Dole called upon Minister Willis to learn how far the authority of the United States was expect ed to be carried in case of an emergency. Upon bis return It was learned that the provisional government was fully satisfied with the explanation and limitations made by Minister Willis. It is the general opinion that the original language used by the United States minis ter conveyed more than he intended it should. Willis Beaasares Dole. It is understood that President Dole very clearly informed the minister that the pro visional government commanded the situ ation and would require no aid from the United States unless it was called for. The president assured the minister that any breach of peace which might occur would be speedily dealt with by the Hawaiian govern ment. The provisional government re ceived assurances on the points mentioned which were perfectly satisfactory. It is understood that Minister Willis said he would stand back of the present govern ment until the present difficulty was set tled.. An interview with members of the pro visional government develops a determina tion to stand on the defensive and take nothing on trust until the United States government is officially heard from either directly or through Minister Willis. In the meantime troops will be kept fully armed and a reserve guard ready at a min ute's notice. From a source almost in touch with the American legation it is learned that the contingency which has caused delay in Hawaiian affairs unAil Washington is heard from is tbeact that the provisional government and resident Americans would openly resist either compromise or restora tion. - V t lillaokalaal Seeks Protection. Honolulu, Nov. 23. Since the advices by the schooner Transit, the ex-queen has applied to the provisional government for protection, claiming that she fears violence from foreign residents. The government at once granted her request, and a detail of six police was at once ordered by the marshal. Has Tburstoa.

' ...... - V STRIKERS HOPELESS. OLNEYVILLE MILL WORKERS LOCKED OUT INDEFINITELY. The Settlement Falls Through, and It May Be Sprlac Before the Mills Are Started Again Many of the Strikers Are Al ready Destitute. Providence, Dec 12. Not only the 4,000 strikers, but the many business men of the Olneyvllle- district, where the big strike has.beeu in progress since the 1st of Octo ber, have been given an nnlooked for set back, and the settlement of the strike has been indefinitely postponed. For a number of days the business mec have been hard at work endeavoring tc bring about an amicable settlement be tween the mill owners and operatives. Twice last week it looked favorable for a settlement, but at the last moment the op eratives were found unwilling to accept the offers of the manufacturers. In the meantime the mill owners tried hard to start their mills, but owing to the inter ference of the strikers were unable to se cure the necessary help. . At Fletcher's Providence National mills the attempt to start was abandoned Saturday, while at the Riverside and Weybosset mills it was necessary to have a strong guard of polios on hand morning, noon and night to pro tect those who ventured to accept situa tions, i , The operatives of the Providence Nation al and Saranao mills met Monday after noon, and when it was made known that they voted to accept a new list presented by the manufacturers there was great re joicing. . The list Is practically the an me as that which prevails at the Saxon Worsted company's mill, which was adopted last week, thus affording employment to 800 strikers. The new list differs from the manufacturers' compromise which was re jected by the strikers in that It makes no distinction between piece dye work and fancy weaving, nor does It make any men tion of fast running looms. A Fatal Hlteh. When the operatives voted to accept the new schedule, it was stated by the man agers of the National and Saranao mills that the mills would be opened Wednes day morning, when work would be re sumed. The operatives were surprised to learn that Messrs. Fletcher of the Providence Na tional and Farwell of the Saranao mills had issued notices to the effect that their mills would not be started until such time as the owners of the Riverside and Wey bosset mills agree to adopt the same sched ule as adopted at the Providence National and Saranac mills. This is One of the bit terest of blows to the operatives, nine- tenths of whom were anxious to return to work at once Following this came the announcement that notices had been posted in the Wey bosset and Riverside mills to the effect that the mills would shut down at bell time for an indefinite period. This 'makes the situation anything but encouraging. The owners of the Riverside mill have concluded to make no conces sions, but to open their mill when they see fit at the scale of prices now paid by them. This alone will keep Messrs. Fletcher and Farwell from starting their mills. ' Present Indications are that the manu facturers will keep their mills closed for some time perhaps until spring. It is con ceded that had the operatives shown abet ter disposition to come to terms last week the strike would have been ended now. The operatives in the majority of cases are in distressed circumstances, and it is prob able that the city will be appealed to for assistance. ' The strike has already cost Olneyvllle nearly half a million, and the end is not yet in sight. The operatives generally con demn the course pursued by the weavers in voting not to accept the manufacturers' offer at the meeting Saturday, and to this move is largely attributed the action of Messrs. Fletcher and FarrelL President Bitot Stirs Up Prohibitionists. Boston, Dec 1L The speech of Presi dent Eliot of Harvard university at a mass meeting in Cambridge, in which he stated that he was a moderate drinker and did not believe in prohibition, has created a great hubbub among the "no license" ad vooates in this city. The Rev. Dr. Lewis Albert Banks, in a sermon at the First M. E. church, handled President Eliot with out gloves. . . m Train Bobber Meets His Match.
