is a direct issue of vcracty between the two
men upon certain points but the testimony of
other persons ought to settle such questions
promptly. There is no reason why this inyest-
CATION should lag.
Ifthe United States want big-bore guns, plate
armOr, and frst-cl1ss engines for war ships II
is the opinion of the Ordnance Commission
that we can make them in this county. There
is no reason to doubt this far as can see,
although many Experts say it cannot be- done
owing to the Americans lack OF experience.
At first such work would be experimental but
if Congress is willing to make the necessary APP
preparations there need be no failure in the end.
If the news fTOu Arizona is true, the blood
thirsty band of Apdches under Geronimo Will
arrive at Fort Bowie, as prisoners, while the
body of brave Captain Craw ford still lies there
unburicd. The coincidence ought to make the
Government thoughtful, suggesting as it must,
two serious duties which now press upon the
Federal authOrtirs-the punishment of the
wretched savagos who have been devastating
the Southwest border, and the demand for JUS
tice upon the thieving Mexcans who caused
CraWfOrd's death.
which we hope the Senate Will correct. 1t
passed a bill allowing liqLOr-sellers who cannot
get license from the Excise Board in this city
to appeal TO the courts The correction for the
Senate to apply is to kill the measure. What is
the use of having an Excise Board at all, if it is
not the sole judge of the prOpriety of granting
a license OF course present Board is
worthless, but we ought to have an honest
IL 4 a ito .
Assembly had authorized the courts to declare
as void licenses which respectable citizens
could show to be improper, perhaps something
might be said in its favor.
There ought not to be any opposition to the
bill to increase the salaries of United States
District Court judges to 50, 600; but unfOrtu-
nately there is. The sub committee of the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee, curiously enough has
reported adversely on il and there is said TO be a
probability that the whole committee will agree
to that report. If this result is due to Demo
cratic dislike of increasing the pay of judges
appointed by Republican Presidents, or to
Southern prejudice against the Federal judi
ciary system, it is none the less discreditable
to the committee. Everybody who knows any
thing a1Out this matter is ready to admit that
the District Judges work hard and receive IN
adequate compensation, and that So, 600 would
be little enough. The Senate should act
favorably on the bill. no matter what the
Judiciary Committee reports.
We should be glad to see the Governor and
all the other Democratic State officials act
promptly upon the indirect suggestions
In the Controllers report, viz: to cut
down the salaries Of the 5000 State Of
ficials which Mr. Chaplin thinks are too big.
Doubtless some of them are larger than they
ought to be, and we should not
begrudge the Democrats any credit they
might get in reducing them. The Legisla-
ture Is Republican, but we don't believe

Never has a publication SO thoroughly car
ried out the true meaning of a Family Maya
zine as does Demorest's Monthly. 1t seems
to be the aim to make it indispensable in every
household. The January number, which has
just arrived, still farther carries out this idea,
having added a new department, "Our Girls"
which will show this portion of the family
"some ways of getting the best out of life."
The Household" department is not merely
a series of receipts, but is full of practical
suggestions. A prize is here offered for the
best series of menus for the separate days of
the week; and under the head of "Home Art
and Home Comfort another prize is offered
''for the most practical suggestion of remu-
lucrative work for women, to be done at home"
Many women will watch anxiously to see what
this offer will bring forth, as information on
this point is just what they are looking for.
The new story, "Allan Quartermain; or, A
Frowning City," by H. Rider Hazard, author
of "She," "King Solomon's Mines" etc., etc.,
needs no comment. the world wide reputation
of this author being sufficient. The other sto-
ries are of a high order, and the continued ar
ticle of "Jennie june ("Across the Cont
nent") is very interesting. "The Modern
Pontius Plate" by the Editor, W. Jennings
Demorest, showing moral cowardice of the
people in their treatment of the liquor traffic,
cannot fail to be read with much interest.
The publisher may we'll be proud. Published

The Art Amateur.

The co,ored plate in the New Years Num-
Der of THE ART Amateur, "Marguerites," is
charming rendering, by Edith Scannell, of the
always popular theme,--a lovely child with
daisies. The number also gives a beautiful
decorative head, by Ellen Welby; a pleasing
sign of children dancing, for a piano front;
one of holly for wood-carving, two for chasu-
BILE ornamentation, six for doilies, and two for
china painting (black alder berries and leaves
for a jar and chrysantheums for a paneD, be-
sides a large decorative study of ivy, and a
page of m%onngrams. There is a useful article
on landscape painting; the series on fruit
painting in oils is continued, and a new series
on portrait painting in the same medium is be-
gun, together with one in china painting. An
other new feature is "Talks with Artists. the
first of which, on "The Life Glass;" should be
read by every ambitious art student. The ex-
hibitions of the National Academy and the
American Art Association receive due notice
and there is an interesting illustrated account
of Paul Baudry, THE eminent French decora-
tive artist. The suggestive articles on the
simple decoration of unadorned city apart
ments are continued, and the needle-work de-
partment is richly filed, church vestments
receiving particular attention. 1t is quite ev-
ident from this January number that THE ART
AMATEUR for 1887 will be more than ever dis
tpensable to all practical art lovers and art
students. Price IS cents, 81 a year. Mon

Christmas at the Children
Hama

A little after ten O'Clock on Christmas
day, our kind-hearted townsman, uncle
Geo. Chambers, drove up to the Home,
in carriage, loaded with choicest nuts,
candies, apples and oranges-his
eChristmas Gift'to the forty-three chill
dren of the Home. AS he entered the
sitting-room, followed by many an eager
glance, and sat before the cheerful blaze
of the CRATE, his eyes fairly mirrored
the gladness of his heart, as he watched
the little ones peeping at the mysterious
packages in the corner and half suspect
ing their contents. Said he, "such fell
lows as Uncle Jim Bruce and myself,
who have no children of Dur own, should
make somebody else's children happy"
Presently all gathered into the school
room, where, with cheerful songs and
quaint Rotations, the children welcom-
ed, thrice welcomed their old friend,
upon this, his second annual Christmas
visit to the Home. Meanwhile the Su-
perintendent and MatrOn, assisted by
Mr.. Jehu Campbell, who, with his
daughter Posa, had brought Uncle
George out to the Home in his carriage,
were engaged in distributing well-fflled
plates with fruits and candies. None
enjoyed the scene more than Uncle
George; and of the groupe of visitors
there, one at least, will never pass from
the memories of those children.

Exit Wnrrens,

This celebrated humorist, in a well written
article in a recent number ofthe Sunny South,
published in Atlanta, Ca, says:
Everywhere | go l hear of unadvertised and
remarkable cures effected by "Swift's Speci-
fc," and this is compelled to be the expert
ence of every man who travels and talks. For
example, l was going in a buggy to town
(Senoia a few nights ago with Mr.. John Nc
knight, when the conversation turned to the
possibility of curing cancers.
"They can be cured" said he. "I cured
one-a genuine, well developed, long standing
cancer-and it's been we'll several years, and
the former victim is stout and healthy"
GLOW did you cure it ?" l asked.
81 cured it with :. 5. s."
"Did you inform Swift of the cure p"
"Why, no; what's the use? Swift knows
his medicine will cure cancers"
This incident is one of the numberless pro-
phecies that are daily predicting the future of
Swift's Specific. l might go much further
with this branch of the subject-might show
the wonderful growth of the business-might
show the expense in 1879 at $50, 900, and 1856
at $3.50, 900. l might enlarge upon these and
many other facts, were l writing an advertise
ment, which 1 again assert l am not.

OBITUARY.

HENRY BANTA was born near Lebanon, War
rem county, Ohio, Nov. q, 1903. Died at his
home in West Manchester, o., Nov. %, 1886,
lacking but three days of eighty-three years.
He was brought up in Warren county, and
was married there to Mabel Gustin, July 3,
1923, thus having completed over sixty-three
years of welded life with his now aged and
bereaved companion.
His parents were devotedly religious, being
Jealous members of the New Light denomina-
ton. This early religious training no doubt
had much to do with the character of his after
life. He was a man of strict honesty in all
his dealings with his fellow-man, greatly at
tached to his family and uniformly kind and
generous with his friends and neighbors. He
was literally ga man of few Words" but on
any question of right there was No mistaking
b 8 position.
He felt in latter days that his work was
done, and approached the end without fear or
complaining. His religious views were best
known to his immediate family, and with
them there is not a shadow of doubt as to his
present and eternal happiness.
He leaves a wife, two sons and a daughter,
twenty zone grandchildren and sixteen great
grandchildren living. His oldest son, James
D., and his daughter Sarah, having preceded
him to the Heavenly world.
The deceased had been q resident of this
community for nearly fifty four years, and
his life and character are as well known to his
friends and neighbors as they are to the writer
of this brief sketch.
The deceased was a man who, during a long
life had the good fortune to make few, if any en-
emies, and died with the respect of the entire
community. His life was one that seemed to
have been complete, in that, from the strength
and vigor of youth and manhood he lived
happily and gracefully to a green old age.
When he first came to Preble county, fifty
four years ago, he entered upon the work of
making a farm in the heavy green woods that
at that time covered almost the entire coun-
ty. he built his cabin, made his own furni-
ture, mostly with an ak and saw; felled the
trees that stood in dangerous nearness to his
abode, and then brought his wife and babies
to their new home. With remarkable physi-
cal, strength and the courage of the early pio-
neer, he hewed out a good farm and lived
amidst plenty and comfort.
His father had been a Revolutionary sol
der, and after the war had helped to wrest
the bloody ground from the savage red man.
From such an ancestor he inherited that in
domitable spirit that knows no fear, and is not
overcome by ordinary obstacles To such
men we are indebted for this grand country,
with its beautiful farms and happy homes.
He was the last of a family of fourteen chill
dren-all his brothers and sisters having pre-.
coded him to the world of spirits. AS the old
pioneers fall, one by one, it is becoming and
right that we should remember what they
have wrought for US, and how great the debt
of gratitude we owe to them. Peace to the
| ashes of the pioneer, and may We by our lives
! prove worthy Of duch an ancestor. ~
