little memoir brings ont INTO bold re
lief that which MAS known before by
all who were Intimately acQ 1slnted
with the subject.
John Ferris was indeed remark
able man, and VIVA. - best he was a
sel.madesman. Au orphaned boy, he
went to q trade when boy IN Pnua-
delphia, away from tue endea7ments OF
home, but with a manly CHARACTER
already developed in the boy, be WAS
as safe away from home As il under the
eye OF his noble mother. He learned
the trade OF cabinet making and came
back to his native city with the name
OF an honest young man. There are
numbers of our citizens who know how
he succeeded Fortune followed him
because be was frugal, honest and on
6erprising. Instead of speniing his
money in saloons and in going TO see
operatic ballots, he put it out at COM
pound interest. Som he retired from
business with an independent compe-
tency. But only then being IN the
zenith OF Life, his course OF usefulness
and duty WAS naturally marked ont
for him. Such q man was Just the
man to befriend the widow and thu
orphan In the settling OF estates known
to be honest, to him was committed i'm
portant trusts and he faithfully per
formed them all.
When John Ferris, full Of years anI
honor, not the honor Of the ruler o.
lawmaker, for he never sought public
office and never filled one but honor
which crown the glories Of aR homes
man, came to die, 1t is not 10 be Won
dered ut that he should think OF leavin
1913, 1913 to organize and endow schoC
for the proper mental and moral educi
ton of inoorrigible youths, and no
appropriate that the school should
named the Ferris Reform school. TIL

The editor of the WiImingtOnlG11'
(Dem.) seems to be mad with the Al
ministration about something. 1t says:
Grover Cleveland has made more mis-
iit nominations to Office in the few
months that he has been in the Chlet
Magistrates chair, than Presloeh'
Arthur made during his entire term.
It takes the President about three
months to climb down from the. fence
to make a given nomination, and wheh
the spirit moves his ponderous frame
he invariably crawls down on inc
wrong side. ,.

Carlisle defended himself the best he
could, and struck his assailants several
times, but before they were stopped
his face was scanned with gashes and
streaming with blood.
Mr.. Carlisle will enter suit at the
October term of court for heavy dam
ages, and he says he will fight his as
sailants in court no matter what the
pecuniary loss is. No arrests have yet

There was no participant in last years
contest 50 blind Ms not to sec that the main
motive which induced the Mugwumps to
sustain Cleveland with so much zeal was
personal hostility to Blaine; and If thoy
could have accomplished his defeat with
out olecting Cleveland, they would have
accepted tho latter alternative with
alucrity..
How much more sensible has been the
course Of the stalwarts? They desired to
prostratc Blaine as intensely as did the
MuEwumps; aud whom the fight was
ended thoy took the result as their share
Of the victory. They accepted it as pay

Many technical points arc raised to

Let them be candid and act like men
having great responsibilities. An ex.
pcndituro Of $1,000 and proper attention

complaint Of polluted water, and relieve
the people of this city from the bad effects
and disagreeable necessity of drinking
such beverage. II the authorities fail
to do this President Cleveland should
