Hannah Walsh, the five-year old

The Congregational church at Bedding

When the free system was inaugurat—

there are over 1,800 _names on the sub-

Selectman Northrop, of Brookiield, has
settled with Mr. Squires, of Roxbury,
for the damages he sustained in the ac-
cident at the Junction on Fair week, for
$35. This amount he expects to collect
from the railway company.

Judge Gardner, of New ‘Fairiield,
takes the prize thus far bunting. One
day last week the judge was fortunate
enough to bag fifteen partridge, twenty
quails, live foxes and teihsnipes; but he
modestly admits carrying one of the
snipes out with him in the morning.

general agent of the Berkshire division
at Pittafleld, the northern terminus of

The boys of the Stamford High School
have adopted the following yell, which,
uttered in unison and with lusty lung

The entering class decided upon this:

THE RUINS AT ANGKOR.

 

Evidences That a Highly Civilized People
Formerly Lived on Their Site.

Recent events have attracted attention to
the great lake between Cambodia and Siam,
Tonic Sap, and to the two Siamese prov-
inces of Angkor and Baitarubong which
adjoin it. A few months ago The Progress
dc Saigon issued an account, illustrated by
native wood engravings, of this great lake
of the two provinces and of the famous
ruins of Angkor. The region ls described
as lying to the north of Cochin China, be-
tween Slam, the ocean and the unknown
Laos districts, and although now but. thinly
populated. It was in former times theabode
of a race which was great among the peo-
ples of the east, and which for long centuries
was governed by a famous line'of sover-
signs.

The great lake is formed duringthe rainy
season by one of the branches of the Me-
kong, and is then navigabieby large steam-
boats, which go to Siamreop at the head of
the lake, and near the river ofAngkor,
the greatest remains of Khmer civilization.
These ruins were discovered by the Portu-

ese and Spaniards in 1504, and they were
rst described In a volume published in
Barcelona in the following century. There
are Chinese accounts of a much earlier
period. and one of these, written in the
thirteenth century by an embnssadorto the
Cambodian court, was made known to
Europe by Abel Remusat.

it. includes descriptions of the two is
alone temples of Angkur‘vot and Ang-
kor Thom. which correspond with the
ruins of the present day. Since then they
have been invastignted by French servants,
and quite u splendid work on the subject
has been published by M. Fournercnu. It

miles long and 8:27 bread. The illustrations

erul subsidiary temples. innumerable fig-
ures of fantastic mythological animals, gal-

etc. The surface of the large stones em-
ployed in the buildings are covered with
pictures and engravings. These huge
blocks are believed to huve been conveyed
to the great. heights at which some of them
are found by means of inclined planes.

Angkor Thom, which is a few miles
away, Is still more ancient, and around It
arc the ruins of the old Khmer capital,
Proathong, which have been invaded by
the forest, giant buuyaus having their roots
below the foundations and their branches

DR. CARAWAY.

For three at rtal months the editor of
The Wagon ire Warwhtigp had been
calling for a ph slclan. It not meant to
be implied that or this length of time the
able Journalist had been rolling about the
floor of his cities in violent pain Imploriug

that there was an urgent do and for can
At last his altruistic efforts were revvsrded.

his name might be, Where he might be

Wagon Tire. A great wave of the quinine

When The Wnrwhoop appeared the next
day, it announced that, “thanks to our su-
perhuman efforts for the good of the city, a
physician has located in our midst at. last.
He is Dr. Benedict Caraway, hi. 1)., lately

a firm hand. Ills prescriptions were in-
variably long and caused t no owner of the
One Price pharmacy to whistle softly to
himself asha compounded them and cut
up the charge with the aid of a 10an pencil.

When asked privately by a soniewlmt
wavering patient as to his opinion of Dr.
Caraway's ability. this amiable Cllt’llllai re-
plied: “Ob. Doc ain’t none of your big,

been burned at sea.

A small boat, In which were the second
officer and ii other persons from the City
of Alexandria, entered the harbor here and
reported the loss of the steamship. They
state that an explosion occurred on board
the steamship and that shortly after the
explosion she was burning fiercely. The
cause of the explosion is unknown.

The fire gained such headway that Cap-
tain Holman saw it would be impossible to
save the vessel, and orders were given to
abandon the ship. The stem-hip had 400
hogshsads of rum on board, and this. when
it caught fire, caused Immense masses of
flames to ascend from the hatchways, the
hatches having been blown off. The scene
of the burning of the steamship was only
25 miles from Havana.

Ordered to Abandon Ship.

At first there was great excitement
aboard, but. the officers soon suweeded in
restoring order. As soon as the fire alarm
was souudud the crew went to their fire
stations. and the stewards began to carry
provisions to the boats. There was com-
paratively little sea running, and not much
difficult y was found in lowering away the
boats when the bell forward tolled the sl -
nnl. “Abandon the ship." The officers It
