C. Seaver of Brockton, the former imams champion, won the Massachusetts tennis championship In singles on the Longwood cricket club ourts outside Boston Saturday, defeating N.

Both men havo practically the same rating, but Seaver proved to be in better condition. NIlea played the more brilliant game, earning more of the aces, but his effort to wear Seaver out was unavailing. Niles, had his unsteady periods, and his nets and outs were taken full advantage of by Seaver. For two sets, it was a great match, Seaver winning' the first set, 7 5, and dropping the second, 5 7. The third appeared Just a test of endurance and the interscholastlc man did not havo enough left to make the win.

In the round before meeting Seaver Niles disposed of Cole, one of Harvard's cracks, 6 0 and 2. Funeral of Mrs. C. H. Davenport.

The funeral of Mrs. Charles H. Davenport was held at tho Unitarian church at 2 o'clock Saturday. Rev. E.

Q. S. Osgood, pastor, officiated and Mrs. Harriett Brasor Pratt saner three selections There worn many beautiful flowers from Individuals and from the organizations of which Mrs. Davenport was a member.

Rev. Mr. Osgood paid an appreciative tribute to the many-sided interests and activities of Mrs. Davenport's life and to the courage, energy and fidelity with which she met her responsibilities. The burial was In the family lot in Prospect Hill cemetery, the bearers being Klttredge Has-klns, S.

W. Edwards, Fred H. Holden and Harry P. Webster. A service for the family was held at the house at 1 o'clock.

Rev. Mr. Osgood offered prayer and read some verses which were written by Mrs. Davenport several years ago and which were published at that time, which showed her motherly affection and tenderness of heart. They were entitled "Love's Measure." My girl of nine, and my boy of two, What do they measure and weigh, asked you? Ah well: tho locks of gold scarce reach my waist.

The locks of brown Just touch my heart Xestllng under mother's breast Like a btrdllng safe in its downy nest; And "sixty pounds" claims my lassie true, "Frirty-un-an-a-alf" lisps my laddie of two. Pounds and Inches are easy to tell Can you measure love as well? Yours for them, theirs for you, This lassie of nine, this laddlo of two. Pounds and Inches we all may know, Can we weigh heart of gold or souls like snow? And a "truly love" as the children Bay, Is deeper than oceans and higher than stars. My love for my babies or theirs for mo I cannot measure or tell to thee. Can I measure the love in those clasping arms Or the love that comes with the clinging kiss? Can I tell you In pounds, e'en the smallest part Of the love that fills my-achlng heart? My heart that aches with its weight of love A love that Is born in Heaven above.

Their love for me Is a different thing, They are babies now, what the years will bring 'Twlxt them and me, God knows, and He alone. And I can only pray, that they'll be true, My lass of nine my laddlo of two. Deafness Cannot be Cured Jy local applications, as they cannot reach he diseased portion of the ear.

Greene's nharmnev nolphrntp.i in an lniormni way Tuesday the com pounding of Its 200.000th Dreserlntinn. The public was invited to call at the storo nna soua, cigars, were served free. The store was trimmed for the occasion with streamers of crepe paper and wltli various appropriate signs painted bv W. R. Stuart.

Displayed In the north window were tho certificates of registration In Vermont held by George E. Greene, Wilfred F. Root and Ned C. Ray, also Mr. Root's certificate of registration In Massachusetts and his commission as a member of tho Vermont stato board of pnarmacy.

There were nlso in that window the United States Pharmneouonla. labeled "Our St' and some crude arugs together wuh the following notice: mo most reliable crude drugs that money can buy nnd the skillful manu facture of their preparations Is the secret or our success." In the south window were exhibited the prescription books containing all the prescriptions ever compounded in the store. Tho first and tho prescriptions were displayed to puuuc view. The first, compounded In May 1878, was issued by Dr. George F.

Gale to Georgo A. Hlnes, and tho was Issued by Dr. C. R. Aldrlch.

Mr. Greene compounded the first nnd the but he was away when tho was compounded. A placard in the south window read: "Wo claim the largest prescription business In the state." A sign over the middle of the store boro the dates 1878 and 1905 nnd the sentence: "Tuesday, June 20. wo compounded our prescription." Another sign was that of a hand pointing to the prescription room and reading: "In that room there have been compounded 200,000 prescriptions." The front of tho prescription room Is the same now as when the store was opened, but the rear haa been changed somewhat by enlargement. Someone has done a Httlo figuring and has found that 200.000 pre scriptions since May, 1878, means one prescription for every 45 minutes for 15 hours a day, Sundays Included.

This la a fine testimonial of the confidence of the public in the excellence of Mr. Greene's goods and the care used In their preparation, and bears out the fact which everyone knows, that the words 'Greenes Pharmacy" are household words throughout this county and the bordering towns in adjoining states. The War as an Advertisement. From Wade's Fibre and Fabric The war between Russia nnd Japan, now practically at an end, may be regard ed as the most stupendous advertisement of modern times If not. Indeed, In the whole history of the world.

It has advertised, for the Russian no bility, their land hunger, their disregard of solemn pledges, their boastfulness and their incapacity to lead their forces to victory on land or on sea. It has advertised, for tho Russian peo ple, their terribly oppressed condition, and has turned so fierce a glare of publicity upon them that for very shame their rulers must consent to some amelioration of their unhappy lot. It has advertised for tho Japanese, their previously unsuspected ability In military and naval operations, the wonderful capacity of their medical department In tlmo of war, their dignity and moderation as victors. It has advertised, likewise, the tremen dous possibilities of the vast empire of China, as a ractor or immense importance In all future consideration of the far East, whether commercially or otherwise. Finally, it has advertised to every think ing man In this country, in Great Britain nd in the nations of continental Europe, the fact that In what Japan has done, and done so admirably, there Is a lesson of becoming humility to all other peoples on tho earth.

The Immensely costly publicity In other words, the advertising of this great wnr has been such as to change the aspect of the whole world for all mankind. Bv as much as we now havo a more Just appreciation of those who dwell In tho great areas ahuttmg.upon tne western shore of the Pacific ocean by as much as wo hold them In increasing respect be cause of the events of recent months by Just so much are we broadened In our concent on or what is aue irom us xo mem in the future; and likewise are we taught the truer patriotism of moderating our own national self-esteem. Sympathy. Give me tho eyes that look on mine, And, when they see them dimly shine. Are molster than they were.

Give mo the eyes that fain would find Some relics of a youthful mind Amid the wrecks of care. Give me the eyes that catch at last A few faint glimpses of the past, And. like the arkite dove. Bring back a long-lost olive bough, A heart that once could love. And can discover even now Lander, 've got my share of trouble, Like every one has got.

Dr. H. D. Holton. secretary of the stntn board of health, hts sent the press of tho state the following letter regarding tho uso or explosives on the Fourth of July.

The letter reads: LETTER OF WARNING. To the People of Vermont: Wo nro again approaching Indenendenco day and must expect that the usual ex plosives will bo In tho hands of tho small boy and tho youth nearlng manhood. What will the harvest be? The nolso Is a source of annovaneo to tho sick and feeble, often producing very serious results. Your attention was called to tne matter last year. In previous years there had been a large mortality from tetanus, the result of wounds from tho blank cartridges.

By reason that tho public wero better Informed of tho dangers nttendlng this class of Injuries, the deaths from tetanus last year were reduced in the whole country "5 per but the deaths from other explosives was Increased 50 per cent. Tho press have urged a reform In tho celebration of this day; for the safety of our cniiuren wo woum most earnestly endorse a change, which shall do away with Are crackers, dangerous fireworks and the careless firing of cannon and other fire arms. Tho Increase in mortality last year was rrom wounds by these explosives. If a wound is received from either the blank cartridge of a toy pistol, or other explosive, no matter how trivial, do not temporize with It, call a surgeon at onco and have It dressed In a thoroughly antiseptic manner.

a convict, was allowed a valet In Jail, was convicted Saturday by a Jury after six minutes of deliberation. He was charged with breaking Jail. His defence was that he simply walked away, finding the Mld-dlebury Jail door open while confined there on the charge of forgery. He pleaded guilty to two of the five counts of the forgery Indictment and sentence was deferred. His escape caused a sensation, but It was speedily eclipsed by public surprise over tho story that Ketchum.

a United States prisoner, and "high finance" Banner, who is serving a seven years' term for complicity In the wrecking of tho Vergennes Farmers' National bank, was permitted to ease nennl servitude lu xurious life and the attendance of a aiet.

Tho youth who Is said to have been his alet Is one Henry Davis, a native of Malta, where his family Is wealthy and Influential. He was brought to Vermont by soldiers who had served In the Philippines.

Ketchum and Davis had a quarrel when the bank wrecker accused the lad of rorging his name to a Jl check. Davis was arrested and the case nol nrossed.

DUNHAM Gen. Gomez, the Cuban Commander, Dead. Maximo Gomez, commander-in-chief of the Cuban army, died in Havana Saturday evening. He was born of Spanish parents in Santo Domingo, nnd first showed his aptltudo for warfare In his natlvo country. Ho entered tho Spanish army and served in the island of Haytl.

After Santo Domingo had gained its Independence he went with the Spanish troops to Cuba, and while at Santiago became disgusted with the cruelty and ofllclal dishonesty of the Spanish general. Vlllar, upon whom he made personal assault, withdrawing thereupon from the Spanish service. He became a planter, but on the outbreak of the Ten Years' wnr In 1S68 ho Joined the Insur gents, nnd received a command from tho uuoan president, Cespldcs. Together with the latter and General Agraraento, Gomez capiurea several towns, participated In Important battles and gained the rank of major genoral. Upon the death of jon.

Agramento, Gomez succeeded him ns commander-in-chief. In 1878 the Spanish governor-general. Martinez Campos, persuaded the Cuban leaders to ncccpt terms of peace, where upon Gomez retired to Jamaica and later went to Ban to Domingo. Ho was engaged In agriculture there until sent for br tho Cuban revolutionary president, Marti, at tno ouiDreaK or the second revolution, in 1895. There were planned the hostilities that did not end until the American victories over the Spaniards in 1S98 re sulted In tho freedom of Cuba.

The Cuban Congress had Just voted Gomez 100. 000, in addition to (50,000 which wns paid to him soon after the close of the war. Chicago, America's Wonder City. Leslie's Weekly. Chicago in 1905 Is the fourth city In the worm in point or population and wealth.

The only towns which lead It are Lon don, New Yor.k and Paris. Canton Is sometimes assigned a larger population but this Is estimated, for there has never oeen any census taken of Its population. Berlin has Just crossed tho 2.000,000 mark In Inhabitants, but it Is safe to assume that Chicago Is ahead of the German metropolis. It. Is likely to keep ahead, notwithstanding the wonderful growth of that capital, unexampled In Europe's annals.

Nearly all tho world's great cities Paris, Berlin, St Petersburg, Vienna, Madrid, and others, aro far Inland. Even London, the nearest to deep water of all of Europe's great capitals, is over CO miles distant from the boo. Now York is tho only city of commanding Importance In any civilized country which Is in sight of the ocean. Chicago feels that somo time it will have the same preeminence In the United States that Berlin has in Germany or St Petersburg in Russia. It Is growing faster than New York, has several suburbs which It expects to absorb within tho next five or ten years, and figures that It will pass New York by 1950.

Ten or fifteen years prior to that date New York will have passed London, so that If Chicago ever beats the metropolis on the Hudson she will be the greatest of the world's cities. as she is already the most marvelous of them In her sudden, rise and swift expansion.
