Mr.. Dodge, who lived almost his whole life
in New York city, was born near Hartford,
Conn. He knew the responsibilities OF bust
ness from his boyhood. The first consider
able enterprise OF his own was as proprietor

father.in-law, Mr.. Arson G. Phelps, started
business in importing metals known as that

continued to maintain an active life as a
member of the firm above named until about
three years ago He possessed property in
mines, railroads, lumber, real estate, etc.
Mr.. Dodge was known extensively in several
countries as an earnest philanthropist He
began his humane work when young. pick
ing up scholars in the slums of the metropolis
and in every practicable way making life
better for them. He continued this work
quarter of century, and always manifested
great interest in Sunday-school operations.
His work in the cause of temperance was con-
tnued throughout more than half century.

an office he held ever since. The well-re-
membered visit of Father Mathew to the Uni
ted States resulted from Mr.. Dodges action,
and the sweeping Washington movement was
greatly assisted in its progress by him. Mr..
Dodge married daughter OF his business
partner Mr.. Arson G. Phelps, lady whose
sympathies were always in accord With the
benevolent activities of her husband. He
assisted in the Moody and Sankey meetings,

IT is a curious course of reasoning that I'M

not appear that the vessel that crosses the

JACOB FEsTNER owns a paper in Omaha.
The immense income from its business seems
to have turned his head. He turned up in
Chicago the other day, and bought car
load of pianos for his Office. The principle
is correct, but carried to an extreme. There
are few printing Offices that have more than
four pianos at one time. More than that
number have hitherto been deemed super
fuous, but, of course, with the advance in
other directions newspapers will have to
make some show of keeping up This will
be severe on some editors but it should be
cheerfully and patiently borne.

THE Rev. John r. Fisher. nine years a
preacher in Jersey City, has resigned, giving
as a reason that there are too many churches
for the business in that city. This is Il new
and decidedly original idea in view of the
fact that several people in Jersey are still out
OF the fold. Perhaps if Mr.. Fisher had done
his work we'll he might have created neces-
sity for his services and demand for the
church that he has so ANONYMOUSLY aban-
doned. He evidently did his best work when
he concluded to quit There are not too
many of the right kind of churches and
preachers. The unsaved world is crying
aloud for deiverance and it is the duty of
Christians to push forward the work unceas-
ingly and at every point along the line Mr..
Fisher is evidently not "a fisher of men"
such as the Master made when on earth.

HovEY, the assassin of his sster-in-law,
now in the Tombs at New York awaiting
hanging on Friday next, confesses that he
is not prepared to die, and pleads for short
extension of time in order that he may
make peace with God His position has
provoked much sympathy, and the Gus
tomary twaddle is being INDUCED in over
his melancholy fate. His victim had no
time to prepare for DEATH but little syInpa-
thy was wasted on her. We burlesque COM
mon sense and outrage justice when we
blubber over such rascals as this Hovev.
He ought to turn pale and tremble at his
doom. 1t is no pleasant thought to lie
down in sleep to awaken in eternity with
the stain of unprovoked murder on the soul
II is not strange that a creature who would
wantonly. murder an inoffensive and de-
fenseless woman should draw back from
death, He invited his fate, and deserves il.

orable people a sympathy he does not de-
serve and would despse were he set free.

If the wretch that murdered Ada Akin
son is not lynched it will not be the fault of
officials and certain newspapers, notably
some in Chicago. They have invited vio-
lence, and the shame of mob law will be
theirs in case the people are persuaded
to hang Melting. 1t matters not
what his deserts are, the people of Ben
ton county owe it to themselves
and to the State at large not to disgrace
themselves and all Indianians in common
by dshonoring law and order and butcher
ing even a fesd. There can be no possible
justification for mob violence in this in
stance. The guilty party is safe in custody,
his guilt seems established, and his
proper punishment by due pro-
cess of law is assured Besides, it
may be that, if legal trial is had, others
scarcely less guilty may be implicated. The
whole truth should be arrived at, and this
cannot be unless wise deliberation is had.
In any event. lynching could but result in
lasting disgrace upon the community that
was weak enough and wicked enough to per-
mit if
