The WATERFOWL REPUBLICAN was
twenty-five years old this week, and the
writer of this article set the first type on
that paper twenty-five years ago, made
up the first forms, and worked off the
first edition on hand press. The beard
less, red-headed boy twenty two years ago,
with much dew on his lip, and more dew
on his board, is now gray, bald and rheu-
matte. The friends Of those days have
many of them gone to heaven or other
wise but Moak, and Cal Cheney, and
Peter Brook, and Doc Spalding, and Joe

We lived in Watertown in those days.
The REPUBLICAN editor had flock of
pretty girls to set type, and G. Washing
ton Peck for foreman. Georges pay was
not large and was mainly in board He
was bashful youth but yet had an eye for
beauty, and the thin spaces which he
bent up in 'justifying' lines while casting
mutton eyes at those girls, still hung
around the cases when we came to have
half interest in the Office eight years
later Speaking Of his board reminds us
of how George came to be spared from
his dignity in the REPUBLICAN Office.
He took his meals at the same table with
the Office girls. Very naturally he felt
called upon to be "smart' quite often,
and one evening at tea he slyly sharpen
ed his knife on the adamantine back of
an ancieut biscuit. The dignifed boss
saw it and remarked that his company
could be dispensed with. George at once
engaged beard at "Van's," the toniest
place in town. At the first weeks end
there was a row between his boarding
boss and employer over the cost of his
victuals, and between the two Georg g

merited reputation of being the most
skillful Optician living, and is endorsed
by the great men of the new and old

To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
Piles is one of the most annoying COM
plants known to physicians. Every one
can tell whether he is thus afflicted by
observing the following symptoms: In

crawling in or about the rectum. Small

are often affected. The more you scratch
the worse the itching. Knowing that my

Delays are Dangerous.

Many happy days have been filled
with sorrow and bitter regrets, and hun
dreds of people are filling daily the blind
asylums and eye infirmaries, because of
dangerous delays in attending to the fail
ing eyesight. When the decline first
threatened, those people put off the use
of the proper glasses, and, instead of con-
sulting an optician of acknowledged abil-
ity, like Dr. Strassman, they trusted eth
er their own judgment, or to that of 9TH
ers who knew less, often making cheap
ness a consideration, until too late to rem
edy the matter. Of DR.. Strassman, who
is now stopping at the National Hotel,
can be secured the most perfect, brilliant
glasses in existence. The professor has
every facility to correct disordered vision.
Besides being thoroughly versed in his
delicate and exacting profession, he car
ries with him hundreds of varieties of
glasses, from which he can supply any
immediate demand. Many scores in this
city and county alone will cheerfully tes-
tify to his great success. As he remains
but a few days longer, patients should
call soon.

Death Of Mrs. Robert McCutch-
cons and the C1sh IL Re-
Vealed.

Pittsburg rost.l
Eight or ton weeks ago Robert Nc
Cutcheon, who is well known both
in and out Of sporting circles in this
city, was sent to Diymont asylum at
the advice of friends. His wife gave
up housekeeping and sent their three
children to Cleveland. Roberts board
ing at Dixmont was paid for a period
of three months, and although he was
not fully recovered, Mrs. McUutcheon
had him released from the asylum
some days ago, and the husband and
wife took a room at the st. Charles
hotel.
Mrs. McCutcheon has been i'll for
some time and last week grew much
worse. She was quite low on Wed
nesday night. On Thursday morning
= LADY, friend named Mrs. Wilson
called at her room and found her ~
ing in bed dead, with her husband be-
side her. Later in the day friends
began preparations for laying out the
body. and one of them got to search
ing through Mrs. McCutcheon's trunk
for some clothing, when she found a
red leather sachel, and investigation
revealed a thick roll of greenbacks,
containing in all S9730, stored away in
one corner of the valise. Fifty dollars
Of the money was taken by Mrs. Rod
gers. sister OF Mrs. McOutcheon, to
help pay the funeral expenses, and
balance was deposited in the Citizens
Bank.
Mrs. McCutcheon's remains were
removed to Mrs. Rodgers residence
on Congress street, and yesterday
morning the funeral services were
held at Rev. Father Landings church
on the corner Of Third avenue and
Ferry street. Neither the children
nor the husband were able to attend
the funeral, as the former are still in
Cleveland and Mr.. McCutcheon was
still i'll. -.
the lady was in very poor clrcum-
stances, and several Of them allege
that they loaned her money, while
others assert that she bought articles
on credit from them. She was a mid
die aged woman and came here from
Cleveland and lived with her husband
on Third avenue for many years.
Some of her female neighbors relate
as another popularity in addition to
that of storing money in a sachel, that
she frequently purchased new dresses,
which she never wore, and at times
she had nearly enough on hand to sup
ply a small store. Her children, who
we're stopping with her relatives in
Cleveland, will probably be brought
on here, and doubtless the Orphans
Court will direct what disposition
shall be made Of the money found 10
the sachel.

WHEN Congress met two years ago.
the Republicans being in a minority
in the House, nominated ex Congress
man Rainey, Of South Carolina, fol
Clerk. Rainey is one Of the best ed
ucated and most capable of colored
men that has appeared il public from
the South. On Saturday, Raincy was
again a candidate for Clerk. This
time the caucus had something sub
stantial to bestow, as a nomination
was equivalent to an election. Rainey
got AZ votes out Of 1916. This carries
its own comment. When there was
no chance of election the Republican,
beasted how they had wiped out the
color line in nominating Rainey. But
when they get a majority, and with it
power aud patronage, Rainey is in
vited to stand back-no darkies need
apply.
