BLANCHE DEKLYN. »
Another of those distressing bereav-
ments which awaken the tenderest
sympathies of a community, has deso-
lated the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
F. DeKlyn. . Their little nine years old
daughter Blanche, was taken from them
this morning by the relentless hand of -

death. She was 'an “unusuall
and Winsome child Who she :
rays of sunshine wherever her pres-,
once was felt. Fatal typhmd fever
snatched her from earth With terrible
and unexpected suddenness. It isbut
a brief week ago that she was the hght
and life of home and the many, many
playmates and friends who loved her.
All are now left alas, to mourn that
“ she sleeps too early and too long.”
“ 0h sheltering earth. henceforth defend
All thou hast of our little friend.
Within thine all-embracmg breast
Is hid one more forsaken nest,
While in the sky, With folded wings ,
The bird that left it Sits and Sings. ’
C. P. BENEDICT.
Mr. C. P. Benedict, a native of Beth-
el and for a time the Bridgeport man-
ager of Adams Express 00., and later
their Treasury agent in Washington,
was found dead in his-bath-tub at his
home in that city yesterday morning.
He was in excellent health when he
arose, but an attack of apoplexy caused
his death a short time afterward. He
was widely known and well liked, as a
generous-natured and honest-hearted
man.

The Royal Arcanum. _
,A meeting of the new lodge Royal
Arcanum, was held Tuesday evening,
at O. U. A. M. hall, a number of the
Grand Officers being present. The
Council adopted the title of Ponassus,
thereby setting a commendable exam-
ple of resuscitating, to some extent,
this ancient plantation’s primitive no-
menclature. - ._
The city of Bridgeport preserves its
Indian “ Golden Hill,” Norwmh its
“Uncas,” New London its “Pequot,”
and Danbury its “Pabquioque” des1g-
nations, and it might not have been un-
pardonable had Norwalk retained for
West avenue, lower Main street and
the Wilson road the fine old appelative
"Ponassus” avenue. terminating the
same where it is probable the father’s
“Ponassus path” terminated, in the
hunting haunts of Naramake at, Bel-
den’s point,,and close by the presum-
able sleeping place of that celebrated
chieftain. Such an avenue, divers1fied
with its “Mahackemo” house and “Pe-
menante” plaza, and “Owenoke” place.
and bisected with streets named for the
Norwalk founders, would be a sort of
living portraiture of our by no means
to be despised past aboriginal find
English history. We append the hor-
walk Ponassus Council’s argument.
Ponas~sus is the derivation of Ponus.
Ponus was a Mohawk Sachem, and a
brother of Wascussue, Sagamore of the
Rippowams of Stamford. With his
sons, the powerful chieftains Cwenoke,
Taphance, Onox and Powahag. the lat-
‘ter of whom was his idol, he lived on
one of our ancient ridges, and enjoyed
high local reputation. He had passed
away just before the founding _of Nor-
walk, but his name was held in such
regard that one of Norwalk’s oldest
“ways” was called for him, viz.: Ponas-
sus Path, which, winding to the west of
Norwalk river and following the gene-
ral direction of our present West'ave-
nue, conducted, it is possible, to the
city of Naramake, the home of a bro-
ther chieftan of Ponus, at what is now
known as Wilson Point. _ ‘
‘ ‘ Ponassus” is an historic patronimic
and perpetuates the memory of'a red
ruler of power.
Old Peach Trees.
Mr. George Comstock is making a
tour of the County, visiting the
different peach orchards in search of
trees afilicted with the yellows. At
Easton. on the John Kellogg farm, he
found the root of a tree known to be
one hundred years old and from which
he secured a branch in full and healthy
foliage. At New Canaan he found a
healthy peach tree fifty years old. He'
' has ordered several hundred afflicted
trees cut down, and (says that some
growers anticipating a visit from him
cut down the diseased trees before his
arrival.

ONE MAN WHO SAYS IT is THE
- FINEST seem. as THE WORLD.
How the Wild Boats of the Jungles of
India and Northern Africa Are Hunted
by Enthusiastic Sportsmen of Other
Countries—Plenty of Danger.
As an ardent pig sticker I may be for-
given for advancing the opinion that it
is the finest sport in the world. By “pig
sticking” I of course mean pig sticking
as it is practiced in India and in north.-
ern Africa and perhaps in some other
English colonies—viz, riding down the
pig on horseback and, dispatching him
with spears.
The Indian wild pig varies naturally
according to his home. The biggest I
have ever seen were in the Vindhya
mountains, where I used to shoot them
as food for my heaters. Sometimes they
were of vast size, bigger, I think, than
even their Ganges cousins.
A peculiarity of the wild pig is the
straightness of his tail as compared with
the curled appendage of his domestic
brother. From the top of his low fore-
head to the end of his snout is almost a
perfectly straight line, and he has a far
longer snout and jaw than the English
market pig. His skin is a kind of
bluish gray and his bristles gray or
black, though sometimes an almost
brown pig is found. The wild pig will
never live far from water. He is hap-
piest in the long grass, often 12 feet high,
that grows along the banks of the big
Indian rivers, and above all rejoices in
“jao,” a kind of evergreen brushwood
that is as common as the grass. He only
cats at night, and about 10 p. m. he sal-
lies forth from cover and will go many
miles to find the succulent sugar cane or
other luxury, returning as a rule about
an hour before thefirst streaks of dawn.
Pig sticking begins usually- about
Christmas week, when the giant vegeta-
tion of the rains has died down sufficient-
ly to get at piggy, and the marshy
ground where he lives is firm enough for
horses, but it is not till the end of Feb-
ruary that really good pig sticking be-
gins, and it improves as the weather gets
dryer and hotter till the June rains come,
and pig sticking instantly ceases.
At about 6 a. m., after a light break-
fast, the sportsmen set out-usually in
“tumtums”—-to the meet, having sent
their spears and horses on ahead over
night, together with the all important
mess tiffin basket, in which v. huge block
of ice and innumerable soda water bot-
tles and beer bottles figure largely. It
is rare to gather together more than 12
men. It may have been different in
olden times, but polo is a formidable
rival to pig sticking newadays, and the
ordinary British subaltem can rarely af-
ford time and money for both. Indeed.
from my own experience, I should say
the average field was not above five, and
personally, I much prefer, except from
the social point of view, very few com-
panions. '
The omcer in command divides the
party, if large enough, into little sections
of three, and each section separates from
the other and keeps together all day,
either at one end of the line or in the
middle. The coolies are usually about
50 in number and form line, covering
about 200 yards of ground. Each is
armed, or should be, with a big stick,
and the end men carry flags, which can
be seen above the long grass and helpto
keep the coolies in line. Behind them
marches on each wing one of the shi-
kari’s satellites, and in the center is the
shikari himself on horseback, and these
omcers, like sergeants, keep _ the line
straight, and exhort, often in language
more forcible than polite, the apathetic
coolies to strenuous exertions. The
sportsmen generally ride a few yards in
advance of the line, unless, rom the na-
ture of the covert, the pig is likely to
break back.
A pig lies usually ina. kind of form
like a bare and will sometimes let a
man or horse almost tread on him be-
fore moving, and being often covered
with mud or dust is very dificult to see
in the grass and weeds. When, how-
ever, he does jump up, he slips along at
an incredible speed for the first 30 or 40
yards and then settles down to avery
fast gallop. I have known boars at once
.on being ‘put up make straight for the
first man or horse they see before they
have been wounded or touched, and, as
all know, the tusk of the wild boar cuts
like a razor, though luckily the wound
is usually a healthy, clean cut—very dif-
ferent from a mauling by the fetid claws
of a tiger or leopard or the thrust of a
stag’s horn. ,
Wherever a pig gets up one of the
sections go after it, and there are various
little rules as to how the pig should be
attacked and in what order. The most
important rule is never to drop your
spear, still less throw it at the pig, as
some beginners have been known to do.
Spears are weighted with lead at the
handle, and when dropped from the hand
in the long grass, the sharp end, being
the lighter, naturally sticks up, so that
the next. horseman or heater may be
wounded. I know of several horrible ac-
cidents that have happened in this way.
The man who first draws blood gets'
“the first spear” and is entitled to the
carcass. The body is given to the coolies
to eat, and the head is taken home by the
triumphant sportsman to adorn his bun-
galow hall, or the tushes are taken out
and made into some knickknack. Of
course he is in honor bound to help
fairly kill as well as prick his foe, but it ‘
is the second horseman, riding perhaps
four lengths behind him, who has the
most dangerous part to play. A pig
when wounded rarely pursues his for-
mer Course, and the leader often loses
touch with him, while his follower has
to bear the full brunt of a terrific charge.
It is fatal to receive a boar’s charge at a
walk or trot. One cannot go too fast—
not strai ht at the pig, but at a slight
angle to im as he charges.
In Bombay along spear is used, and
the boar is stuck by an “underhand”
thrust. -~ In eastern Bengal a jabbing
spear is used and is more deadly, I think '
Of course it is'unlawful to stick sows
They cannot fight wall. having no tushes.

list of names of places will show. '
among the 58 counties of California there
are no less than “which end with the
wound letter. They are El Dorado, Fres-
no, Inyo, Mendocino, Mono, Sacramento,
San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego,
San Francisco, San. Luis Obispo, San
Mateo, Solano and Y010. It is to be ob-
served that only a portion of these are
named from masculine saints in the
Spanish calendar, Fresno, Inyo, Mono,
Solano and others being presumably In-
dian names, though the termination may
have been put on by the early Spanish
settlers. When we come to towns in
California whose names and in 0, their

In the compilation of this imperfect
catalogue the towns and cities named for
saints have been omitted, as the list
would be entirely too long, running from
San Antonio through most of the letters
of the alphabet to San Ysidro. There is
said to be a. reason for all things, and it
is not unlikely that the names given by
the early and pious Spanish settlers to
their settlements may have sounded
pleasant to the gringos who came after
them and have influenced them, perhaps
unconsciously, to confer upon their own
mining camps and villages and towns

A Touch of Fellow Feeling.

.. ning Off her white cap and giving its
=.':- dainty bows. few deft, reconstructing
touches, "and many interesting and di-
verting episode's also. Not long ago I-
was sent for to attend a. minister’s wife
and must confess that I responded to
'the‘call with some trepidation and ap-
prehension. It was my first experience
in a minister’s family, and I was afraid
that my patient might ask me to pray
with her or 'read the Bible to her, which
most excellent ofiices would be wholly
out of my line and would cause me
much embarrassment.
“When I reached my post of duty, I
found the minister’s wife suffering a
great deal, and my first oflice ‘was to
make and apply a mustard. plaster. l
concocted it with a generous and con-
scientious hand, and it must have been
pretty warm, for several seconds after I
had deferentially applied the mustard
plaster on the person of the minister’s
wife she groaned dismally. Leaning
over her to discover whether her pain
hadincreased, I heard her murmur softly
but energetically:
“ ‘Oh, jiminyl It’s too hot!
stand it!’
“Perhaps you can imagine how my
heart leaped toward the dear woman at
this touch of nature. We had a delight.
ful time together when she got better.
Shewas a good women, too, but like the
rest of us she had her favorite ejacula-
tions under compelling circumstances"

and her only free night was Thursday.
Now, I often take my boy to see a play,
but I make it a rule it shall not be on a
night preceding a school day. ~ So on'
thisoccasion I explained to my son that
he could not go, and as an offset to his
disappointment arranged an outing for
the Saturday following. He acquiesced
most dutifully and beautifully, and the
matter rested. Thursday came, and as
the afternoon waned, I found that my-
son was to be all alone part of the even-' . ‘

going with us. At last I made up my
mind, and calling him said:

You are'going to be alone, and I know
