To the Editor Of the Globe:
In yesterdays GLOBE in answer to 81. of
Dec. 81, 1885, you give a history of the
author of the song, 1.-The Sweet Bye-and-

and nearly correct that in interviewing the
authors brothers, DR.. L. l.. Bennett. preSi-
dent of the Farmers National bank Of this
place, and also his brother, George
Bennett, who is running the largest stock
farm in this section, they say the name is
DR.. S. Fillmore Bennett, and lives where
you report, and wrote the song at Elkhorn,
Wis.,, in 1868. The account as published
by you is pronounced correct until after the
writing, when lawyer, Mr.. Spooner, came
in and read it, and called the attention of
several to the song. When Uncle Crosby
read the words he uttered the prophecy,
''That hymn is immortal" DR.. S. F. Ben

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
A Good word For sparks.


To the Editor of the Globe
l notice in the papers of the 25th instant
a decision of Commissioner Sparks which
has the right ring to it.
He says that public land occupied by
settler, and claimed under the homestead
or presumption act, at the time of the def
mite location of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, or the withdrawal of the land from
market. is excepted from the grant. He
further says that the validity of the claim
of the settler is matter between him and
the government. This is the old-fashioned
doctrine 1t was the old Democratic doc
trine from the earliest days of the Illinois
Central to 1861. 1t was the Republican
doctrine from that time until 1878.
1t originated in the case of Wilcox VS..
Jackson, Is, Peters 1913, where the court
says: when a tract of land has once been
legally appropriated to any purpose, from
that moment the land thus appropriated
becomes severed from the mass OF
the public lands, and no subse-
quent law would be construed to
embrace it, although no reservation was
made of it," Since that early period, this
principle has been repeatedly affirmed by
the same court together with the statement
that the question of the legality of the
claim of the settler was a matter solely
between him and the government.
The Republican party when it came into
power found this doctrine firmly adhered
to in the land Office, and it remained the
rule of that office until the last days of the
official life of Secretary Delano.
A notable instance of Republican adhe-
sion to this rule is found IN the case of
Hans Schwerin vs. The Western Pacific.
Railroad Company.-Copp Land Laws, 400.
Hans had settled on quarter section of
public land inside the railroad limits, and
made valuable Improvements. He had
lived there fifteen years-was there when
the land was Withdrawn from market.
Among the points made against his right to
the land was the fact that he did
not file on the land within three
months after the survey, as required by
law; that in fact he never filed upon it IN
til long after the definite location of the
road and the withdrawal of the land from
market.
But the land department held that all
these omissions were matters between Hans
and the government. that Hans settlement
and occupancy of the land excepted it from
the grant, that the company did not take
the land, even if Hans claim to the land
was not according to law. that the railroad
company had no standing as contestant of
his right to the land.
! This decision was made in 1872. Shortly
after this time this long line of decisions is
completely reversed and the railroad corpor-
ations have full sway. Thousands of hon.
est settlers along the lines OF the different
railroads are turned houseless and home
less into the streets and their property given

But this system of. legalized robbery, I
think, is stopped. Sparks has only re-
turned to the rulings of the land Office in
the days of the Democracy and the earlier
and better days of the Republicans. No.
honest settler is going to get hurt by Sparks,
but the railroads, cattlemen, timber thieves,
land and town site spectators, money loan
ers and fraudulent deposit surveyors must

An interesting industrial exhibit had been
secured and placed on exhibition in the
hall without by Prof. W. A. Pike, pro-
fessor of engineering in the state univer-
sity, which was viewed with much interest.
The display consisted of samples of forging
and wise work from the college of mechanic
arts of the state university, wooden models
and specimens of casting and forging from
the Chicago training school, wooden models
OF lathe work and specimens showing
methods of joining timbers from the st.

mems of manual work from the Boston
public schools had been promised, but failed
to arrive. The display will be on exhibi-
ton to-day. The first paper of the after
noon was by c., W. Hail. professor of
geology and botany at the state university,
on The Essentials of Scientific Training
and the Relation of Such Training to the
Material Interests of the State.
He reviewed the resources and the ele-
ments and promises of future prosperity
and greatness of Minnesota. predicting that
twenty-five years hence the twin cities
would be two Chicagos and the struggle be-
tween the cities and the country would be
waxing warm. The true greatness of a
state lies in its men and in the development
and elevation of the spirit and practice of

A TOWN DESTROYED
BY FIRE N AVERY SHORT TIME.


A destructive fire broke out last night
shortly after ten o'clock in the large
Touring mill at Burlington, Ohio, a small
village on the Belmont and jefferson
county line, about Ave miles above this
city. The town or hamlet contains per-
haps less than 200 people, and the only
industry ofimportance was efouringmill
which did an extensive business. There
being no means of fighting The FIRE, the
flames quickly destroyed the mill and
spread to adjacent houses. Many Of the
dwellings are small frames, set closely to-
gether, aud fire once gaining Roadway,
there would be little hope OF saving any
part Of the village. Several fine residen-
ces are in tho neighborhood.
The flames lit up the sky brightly, the
reflected blaze being seen by many per
sons in the city, and causing much Curl
osity. It was finally concluded. however,
that It was the light from one OF the gas
wells up the river.
WHEELING APPEALED TO FOR AID.
About eleven o'clock o telephone mes
sage was received by the Wheeling fire
department asking that an engine be sent
mp to save what was left OF the village.
The messenger who came to Martins
Ferry to telephone for aid said the village
was doomed. It was concluded to send
the Atlantic engine over, and Mayor
Grub and Chief Dunning accompanied
1t, leaving about midnight.
But meagre particulars could be obtain
ed last night. The loss of the mill, how
ever, even II no other building had been
consumed, would be severe blow to the
village. It is almost certain that at least
eighl or ten other houses would also be
burned.
LATER PARTICULARS.
About O'Clock this morning it was
lie rned that after the large mill, which
belonged to the Dougliery's, OF Steuben.
vile, and a small stable had been burned
to the ground and several houses nearby
badly scorched, no further damage was
done by the fire, the citizens being able To
prevent its spread. II was well they were
able TO do this for owing 10 the breaking
OF one OF the Atlantic's axles, Wheeling
could send no aid. The Atlantic was got
ten ready and relays oil horses provided,
but at the postolllce corner, an axle
cracked and it was not safe for the city to
send an engine out Of her limits with a
disabled one also on hand.
The loss connected with last nights
/ fire will be between $4,000 and $4,000;
this is partially covered by insurance in
the Lupton agency Of Martins Ferry.
The fire is supposed to have been acci.
dental and to have started in n corner Of
the cellar where there was stored five bar
rels OF oil. One OF the owners OF the mill
managed to reach the place soon after the
fire had started.

DEATH OF 4 NOBLE WOMAN.


Mrs. Hannah n. Hopkins PasSeG Away After
D Lito OF Pious Devotion.
Mrs. Hannah n. Hopkins passed away
yesterday at her residence CD EoFth Main
street. OF irail physique, long patient
sufferer, she outligad by many years the
prophecies Of tllemost accumulated ply
sicians. Her remarkable will power,
cheerful temperament and .contlding trust
in the God 10 whom she devoted hor life
sustained her through the years Of pain.
Mrs. Hopkins was a woman far above
the ordinary, She had O fDe literary
ssnse, gas sparkling writer, brilliant
conversationai;at, in short very gifted
person, But the charm OF her beautiful
character was in her modest piety, aa de-
vout as it was radiant. To her religion
was a joy, not severe duty. Ever ready
at proper times and in proper places with
good counsel her example was in itself a
rich volume Of moral and religious pre-
cept. She went shcnt doing good, adding
to her beneiaetions the-good cheer Of her
sunny nature. She was beioced by all
who knew her, and to them her loss will
DO 6 personal pain.
ltls. Hopkins was for many years one
of the active members OF the Fourth
Street Methodist Episcopal Church, in
whose work abe tjok q gealous part. Her
gentle influence will be misued from the
congregation. Her sweet voice, 80 often
heard in prayer as powerful as It was SIM
pie, Ia pushed forever. Wheelinghas lost
o true and noble woman who would have
shons in any sphere. 'tHe giveth His be-
loved Sleep"
