Being aman of independent spirit, this finally got. on 'Dr. Aked's nerves. There was also an impression abroad in the land that Dr. Aked has been appointed Mr::Rockefeller s almoner and that he had millions of dollars at his disposal to dispense in alms. Dr. Aked repeatedly denied that such a relation existed between him and the oil magnatem amd the denial was widely published in the public prints, but the truth never caught up with the lie. Boggers of all kinds and de- krees, from those who sought the Price of square meal to,those who would be contented with nothing less than a few millions, swarmed about the Aked house and made the life of the clergyman miserable. Several secretaries had to be employed to as- tend to the mail, which consisted largely of begging letters from al? Parts of the world. A majority of the letters were from obscure churched which wanted money to life mortgages, erect new edifices or pay. the salaries of pastors, but each mail also brought scores. of epistles from those who wanted money for purely personal purposes. Dr. Aked was born in Nottingham, England, Aug. 27, 1864, and was or dained to the Baptist ministry at the age of twenty-two. He first visited America in 1893, and from that year until he accepted the pas- torate of the New York church he mad annual lecture and preaching tours of the United States and Can- ada.

One of this well remembered pair, Waino , died five years ago, but Plutano lived until a few days ago.

Chauncey Morian, Barnum's fat man, died a few days ago at Elwood, ML, and his wife arranged the funer- al for five o'clock in the morning to keep the curlous away.
