WHEN eX-GOv. William Allen died
on his farm near ChilicOthe on last Fri
day morning, in the I'D year of his age,
Ohio lost one of her foremost and best
known citizens. and the country one of
its most devoted and mselfish patriots.
He was born in North Carolina, and in
1910, when he was only four years Old,
was taken to LynchbUrg, Virginia, by
the father of the present Senator Thur
man, who was a young clergyman and
had short time before married Aliens
half-sister. When young Allen was
sixteen, he started from Lynchburg on
foot in the middle of winter with Il
Kentucky hog drover, and after a long
and toilsOme journey reached ChilicOthe,
to which place his sister and her huS-
band had removed some years previous.
In 1892, when he was just eligible to a
seat in Congress, so well known and
popular had he become that he defeated
the Wing candidate in district which
had never before elected a Democrat.
When Allen entered Congress Jackson
was President and a feeling of warm
/ personal friendship sprung up between
/ them which lasted through life. Mr..
I Allen afterwards served two terms in
+ the Senate, during the administrations
of Van Buren, Tyler and Polk, and ac-
quired high reputation as a speaker in
+ the debates on the sub-treasury law and
the Oregon boundary question. After
he retired from the Senate, in 1919, he
remained IN private life until he was
elected Governor of Ohio iii 1873. NJ

WHAT has become of Charles ). Wolfe,
of Union county. the man who origi-
mated the bribery investigation at Har-
risburg last winter. and whose report of
the testimony convinced the people of
the State, although it did not convince
two-thirds of the House, that Petroff.
RUmbarger and Smith ought to have
been expelled ? For that action of the
House Mr.. Wolfe is not to blame, but
he was afterwards placed on the COM
mittee of eleven to institute criminal
proceedings i'll the courts of Dauphin
county against Kemble and the other
implicated members of the lobby, and
the people would like to know what the
committee intends doing about it. Mr..
W. made a State reputation by his vigor-
Gus fight against legislative corruption,
and if he thinks it worth preserving he
can't afford to lose any more time in
getting the committee together and pro-
ceeding with the business cOnfided to it.
Kemble saws he is ready for the ordeal
of a court and iury-that he is an honest
and much prosecuted man, and only
wants the opportunity to cover his ac-
+ cusers with Shame and confusion. Kem-
ble has always insisted that as he views
! it his connection with the riot bill
amounted merelyto 'log-rolling, " which
, he regards as a perfectly Legitimate and
. harmless amusement. and that what the
new constitution defines as bribery and
corruption is and always has been so
prevalent among members of the Legis-
lature that it cannot be prevented, and
that the notion of Furnishing him and
the other ''log-rollers'' of the riot bill
for what they did was never dreamed OF
by such men as Judge Black, Buckalew,
Curtin, and other prominent member.

THE funeral Of the young Prince
Louis Napoleon took place last Saturday
at Chiselhurst, England, with great
solemnity, his remains having been
brought there on the previous day from
Woolwich, at which place they had ar
rived from South Africa on a British
vessel of war. y large number OF
French people, including several mem
bers of the Bonaparte family, as well as
notable persons from other parts OF Eu-
rope. attended the ceremonies. The
Queen of England was present, but re-
manned in the house with the Princes
mother during the funeral procession to
the church. half a mile distant. The
Prince of Wales, two of his brothers,
and the Crown Prince Of Sweden, acted
as pall-bearers. On Sunday Cardinal
Manning preached the funeral sermon
in the church at Chiselhurst. What
ever men may think of the different po-
liticaI parties in France and of then
past struggles for power, as well as theil
present hopes and projects, the terrible
sorrows of this dead Princes eXiled and
childless mother cannot fail to awakeT
/ a feeling of genuine sympathy in every
heart. How romantic has been he
{ history, and what an eloquent illustra
tion it presents of the complete vanit!
of all human greatness. The blows o
adversely have fallen upon her in rapiC

and her country have all been lost, ant
now her only child, her last hope, ha
been taken from her-killed by savage
who never heard of him. and in a caus
to which the land of his birth was
stranger. OF all living women thi
widowed and childleSs Empress is tn
most striking example of the instabilit
of earthly grandeur.

THOMAS JEFFERSON pressed a wish
TO have it inscribed on his monument
that he was the Author of the Declara-
ton of American Independence" and
was satisfied on that one act in his event
full life to rest his title to undying fame.
In 1919. John Adams, the ablest and
most eloquent defender Of the Declara-
tion in the Continental Congress, found
a copy of the Mecklenburg (NOrth.Caro-
lina) Declaration in the Essex Mas
sachusetts) Register, into which paper it
had been copied from the Raleigh
Register. and observing its similarity to
Jeffersou's Declaration, although it bore
date nearly fourteen months before the
4th of July. 17T6, he inclosed it tC Mr..
jefferson, with whom he then frequently
corresponded. In reply. Jefferson said ::
Nor do l affirm positively that this
paper is a fabrication. because the proof
/ of Il negative can only be presumptive ;
/ but | shall believe it such until positive
and solemn proof of its authenticity
/ shall be produced" ." ,JeffeTsOn's letter
/ to Adams was published, and the Legis-
{ Iature of North Carolina made a thor
ough investigation Of all the facts con-
nected with the Mecklenburg Declara-
tion. and established by the most con-
. elusive testimony the genuineness of
that document. Further Investigations
after that more fully sustained its au-
thenticity. and Mr.. Tucker. in his Life
of jefferson. - is compelled to admit that
there is a plagiarism, but insists that
jefferson could not be charged with it.
We Will not discuss that question, but
having stated the above facts, will leave
the matter to the rejection of on
readers. The MeckIenburg Declaration
new no doubt to most of our readers
will be found in another column of on
paper. and the similarity and in the sec
ond and third paragraphs the identity o
Ianguague between it and the Declara
ton proclaimed at Philadelphia on TIN
4th of July. 1776, will be readily detected
. Most of the men who were active in tn
. movement that resulted, in May, LIS
in the adoption of the Mecklenbur
8 Declaration, were of Scotch Irish de
scent-a race distinguished in the rev
. OlutiOnaTv history of this country fO
its hatred to British tyranny in all ii

cred the guilty pair in the depot at !
Pittsburg on Friday night, awaiting a !

the man with his umbrella, smashing
that article in pieces and handed him
over 20 a policeman. Cartwright was
subsequently identified as a deseTter
from the Fifth United States artillery,

could leave town with his wife another
Mrs Eckey put in an appearance and

"A strange sight was witnessed by
Cape May people on Friday. About
noon a buZZard was observed soaring
over the city, with the American flag
fastened to him in some unaccountable
way. The flag and staff were all COM
plete. and its presence appeared to cause
the bird no concern. Where the flag
came from and how it was secured is
mystery that remains to be explained.
1t was first discovered by the carpenters
at work on the new Baptist church, be-
T
O'Clock, moon. The flag was quite a
large one. the staff reaching outward
and beyond the tail, the hunting fully
unfurled to the breeze. The incident
would have had more Importance at

Mr.. Lemuel Virnelson, who resides on

soft eggs, half of which were the size of
ordinary eggs. the rest were of various
sizes. The hen was then Sewed UP. and
yesterday was eating and thriving as
well as ever. This is quite a remarka-

that people at first thought their house.
