DEATH OF THE LARGEST WOMAN IN
the WoRLD.-Our Brownsville cores
pondent sends us an important item on
the death of Fanny Wallace, the cele-
brated American giantess. For many
years she had Travelled with circuses, and
became well known throughout the
country.
The largest woman in the world, Mrs.
Ruth Bcaton, alias Fanny Wallace, died
at her residence in Vernon county, Wis
consin, on Friday last. She was 81 years
of age, seven feet four inches in height,
and weighed 5S5 pounds. Her coffin was
made in this village, and was seven feet
eight inches in length, three feet six inch
es in depth, four feet wide at the center
two feet at the head, and twenty three
inches at the foot. II required eight
men with block and tackle to lower the
remains into the grave. She was q kind
good neighbor, loving mother, and was
beloved by all who knew her, knowing
that she inevitable must shuttle off the
mortal coil, all the necessary prepara.
tons were made, and she died surround

py, contented, with an unshaken belize
in her adopted religion, which was tha

RAILRoADsSUBJECT TO STATE LAWS.
The United States Supreme Court has
given a final decision in the case between
the Grangers and the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad Company, by which
the position of the Grangers is fully sus-
tanned. The principle underlying the de-
cision is, that railroad companies are sub
ject TO legislation made by virtue of au-
thority derived from the general railroad
law OF the State in which they are incor-
porated. The railroad in question was
built under the general railroad law Of
Iowa, which reserves to the Legislature
the power to regulate its tariffs. The in
ference is, that if the general railroad law
Of Iowa had not reserved to the Legisa-
ture the right to regulate railroad tariffs,
that right could not be assumed on gem
eral principles by the Legislature. The
Court says that the company might, as a
condition to the building of the road, have
demanded Of the Legislature to fix per-
and ifthat demand had been conceded, ii
would constitute contract against fur
ther interference. But as no such limit
was fixed, the company must abide by the
terms of the law, which are not invalidat-
ed because not assumed earlier. The de.
cisio1 settles the question as to the subor-
dination Of railroad companies to laws of
State made in pursuance Of authority
granted by the general law existing at the
time the company Incorporated. But
Legislatures assuming to regulate the
tariffs of railroads must look to the Con-
sttution or general law existing at the
time of incorporation for authority to do
so.-T0othiU 7idtngs.

BAD FAITH.-Thr tests of Democratic
faith do not bring it out as altogether
lovely. For instance, there is the Chris
holem massacre in Mississippi, as foul an
Outrage as ever disgraced civilized
country, yet no man for moment be-
lieves the murderers will be brought to
justice. Now comes another exhibition
in proof Of the fact that the "era Of good
feeling" which it was hoped Mr.. Hayes
conciliatory policy would bring around
has not reached Louisiana, at least Wells
and Anderson of the Returning Board are
being prosecuted for forgery. In the
present state Of feeling in Louisiana those
in power can bring about conviction of
the members Of the Board on any charge
which may be trumped up against them.
But such a policy is not one to max e
friends for Southern Democrats, who show
that about the first use they make of their
long g-wished for local government"
is to revenge themselves upon their enc
mics.

DARING RoBBERY.-A robbery which
for daring, and GOODNESS of execution
could hardly be surpassed occurred at
San Miguel, San Luis Obispo county on
the 2Sth ult. The proprietor ofa store and
his two clerks were in the hotel and at 0
O'Clock in the evening sailed out to their
respective quarters. AS each emerged he
was confronted by m armed man who
marched him into the store, when the
robbers compelled the proprietor to open
the safe. from which they took every
thing valuable. They then took the
money and jewelry from the persons of
their prisoner, cut the cords.thnt bound
them and left.

DIED,

Of paralysis at her residence in Som
ers, Kenosha Co., Sarah B. Leet, aged
II years.
Mrs. Leet was born in Bristol, Hart
ford Co., Conn, May 21st. 1900, and re-
moved with her father, Mathew Niard
and his family to Meredith, Delaware
Co. N. Y. in 1904, where she resided
till the year 1882, when she married
Mr.. Charles Leet Of Delhi, Delaware
Co., n. Y, and in 1887 removed with
the family to what is now Somers
Kenosha Co., where she continued to
live till her death.
Soon after their settlement here,
both united with the Episcopal church
of Kenosha, and both retained their
love and attachment for that church to
the last. Mrs. Leet was an active and
stirring Woman,-a devoted Christian
attached to her family, and DESTROYS of
bearing her part we'll in the affairs and
business of life. During the time
when the reason of her husband was
IMPAIRED, and he was helpless as a
child, she exhibited the virtues of pa
tience and fortitude, under circum-
stances calculated to test those quail
ties to the utmost, was ever cheerful
and had kind word for ALL A nu-
merous circle of family and friends,
will cherish her memory and remem-
Der her good words and deeds long
after the vision of her form and ap-
pearance shall have faded from their
minds.
The funeral obseQuies were very
largely attended-the services being
conducted by the Rev. J. B. Palmer of
Mount Pleasant. The remain were in
tered by the side of her husband in
the pretty lockwood Cemetery" of

was one of the last things in which the
deceased took lively interest. Its
neat and tasteful fence and gateway,

Inhabitants of that vacinity, and it's
surroundings, tending to Danish the
gloomy associations connected with
the burial of the dead, are a pleasant
