OtAIH OF MRS. o. KlODER.

Our citizens, nearly all of whom have
been acquainted with Mrs. Kidder,
were very much shocked Sat
death at an early hour Saturday
morning. Two weeks ago to-day
she was taken i'll and at several times
since has been considered dangerously
sick, but during the last day or two she
had seemed better and her friends who
had visited her sick room reported her
improving and all hoped for her speedy
recovery. at o'clock a. m. there was
change came over her for the worse.
The physician was summoned, and he
at once pronounced her as much worse
and said there was nothing that could
be done for her. From that time on
she gradually grew feebler until 6:15
when she passed to the great beyond.
Although she has suffered much dur
ing her illness, she passed away like
one who falls asleep, apparently with
out pain or suffering. Paralysis of the
bowels was the immediate cause of her
death.

the old residents, as she came here
nearly twenty years ago from
Reading, Massachusetts,, where she
now has an aged mother
and two brothers living, She engaged
in the millinery business on east Sixth
avenue. hers being the first millinery
store established in the city. From
Sixth avenue she removed her store TO
the second story of the building now
occupied by G. w. Newman &Co., and
later when the building was remod-
eIed moved to her present location on
west Sixth avenue. She was loved and
highly respected by host of friends,
by her employees and by many with
whom she met in business life.
The deceased's sister, Mrs. L. S.
Jones, died in this city year ago in
February and her father has since
passed away at their old home in
Massachusetts. Mr.. L. s. Jones, who
is located at Usage City was notified
at once when she became worse but
did not arrive in the city until about an
hour after her death. Her cousin
Mrs. A. A. Newman of Arkansas City
was also notihed by telegram and ar
rived at noon. Mrs. Kidder was forty.

New Years Greeting.

At the opening of New Year We ex-
tend to all our rerders the compliments
of the season. and wish them all health,
happiness and prosperity. To secure the
first we know of no better service we can
render than to commend Gilmore's Aro-
matte wine, the best tonic and vitalizcr
for men, women and children ever pro-
duced. For ladies who are suffering
from general debility and diseases pecul-
lar to their sex, ii has no equal. For if
teen years it has been the standard rem
edy in many localities. and has received
higher endorsement from physicians and
persons who have been benefited by its
use than any other medicine ever intro
duced.

Young men are apprenticed 10 the best
farmers all over the kingdom for two or
three years, under the oversight of the
royal agricultural society. They work
for good farmers for one year as learners,
receiving small sum besides their, board
and lodging. At the end of the year, the
apprentice is removed TO a farm in anoth-
er part Of the kingdom, ani his third
year is spent on still different farm in
district where a different kind of agriccl-
turc is practieed. The society gives each
apprentices number of agricultural books
at the outset which becomes his proper
~ upon the completion of three years
The apprentices report to the society at
stated intervals, and from these reports
and other records where they have work
ed. In. society judges Of their progress
aud grants diplomas accordingly. The
young men must get thorough knowl-
edge of all kinds Of practical farming. but
they have to work for il, as they are at
hard labor from a. m. to .. m. except
the meal hours. The society has started
the system of apprenticing young men in

TO MARRY Or MOTTO MARRY

To marry or not to marry; that is the ques-
ton:
Whether 'tis.wiser in the man to suffer
The jeers and taunts of outrageous relatives,
Or to eSchew the sea of troubles,
AID by SO doing 'scape them? To love; to
marry;
All mel and by ones marriage o say he
weds
The heartache and the thousand awful woes
A Benedict's heir to, its contamination
'twould seem
One should avoid. To love; to marry;
To marry, perchance TO rue it. Aye, there's
the rub;
For in that marriage, hate may come
When one has taken on this fatal moose,
He cannot hope escape from save through
the door
That makes calamity of all ones life;
For who would bear the stigma of the di-
vorce court,
The uplifted brow, the ill-concealed scorn.
The pangs of desp;sed love, the laws delay,
The insolence of wife, perchanoe of child,
That all too quickly from its mother'd learn,
When he himself a life of peace may take
With brier pipe? Who would the fires
make,
To grunt and sweat with furnace CRATE,
But that the dread OF thousands of tongues,
By which the Bay States men Outnumbered
are,
Rebukes us, puzzles the will,
And makes us leave the ills we have
To fly to others that we,know not of?
Shall sensitive souls be thus made towards
ally
And shall our peace of mind
BE shaken-mayhap broken,
And single bl essedness-happy stale
With this regard be ever turned awTy
And lost in bliss of living? Soft you now;
o critics, scribblers, in your comments
BE all pros and cons remembered.

tlst for more dental work, while if Har-
rison were victorious the dentist agreed
to allow the lady to extract one of his
(the dentist's) teeth. Yesterday the
lady, armed with big pair of ''horse"
forceps and accompanied by some
friends, went to the dentists Office to
claim the wager. Neither the dentist
nor any of the spectators seemed to
think the lady would really claim the
forfeit tooth, but as she showed an in
clinatiOn to do SO the dentist adjusted
his chair. took his seat and pointed out
the molar which he proposed to sac
Frifice.
The lady seized her forceps. where
upon her female companions all fed
from the room. She fastened the for
cepS upon the tooth and gave a pull.
The foreeps slipped off. Then the
dentist told her she must give the for
ceps little twist, instead of merely
pulling at the tooth, and he showed her
how. Again she grasped the tooth,
gave the requisite twist and pull, and,
to the establishment of the onlookers,
she held the tooth up before them.

FOR THE ENGINEER.
A Series Of Questions He May or
Nav Not Answer.
no the Editor oil die Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Allow me. through the columns of the
GLOBE. to ask City Engineer Rinket ct
al, few questions of public interest.
First-Have you not always opposed
the day labor system in public works,
because it did away with fat contracts.
paving, curb and gutter, for instance?
Second-Have you not indirectly done
all YOU could for two years past 10 IN.
crease the cost of the construction OF
water mains and sewers under the gay
labor system, in order to make 1t hard
for the taypayers. so that the old con-
tract system would again come into
use. and the few particular contractors
whom YOU always favor could again get
chance to fatten at the public eX-
pense, as was their wont in the Dalmy
contract labor system days?
Tbird-Why should the specifications
on curb and gutter work be such tnat
but one or two certain men can furnish
the stone?
Fourth-Is it not fact that such IS
the case?
Fiftb-Is it not fact that the curb
ing ordered for next year, without any
gutter, will cost the taxpayers as much
as if both had been ordered?
SiXth--IS it not fact that ABOUT every
six months. since you have been city
engineer, there. has been an lnVestl-
CATION, or something of that sort, i'll re-.
gard to your methods? -
Seventh-Is it not a fact that the
center pier of the new steel arch bridge
was furnished by Coolidge u Co., OF
Chicago, at all enormous expense, ana
that bids were not advertised for, as re-
quired by the city charter? e.
Eighth-Is it not fact that not man
is employed in your office who would be
retained if he did not always have
story ready to back any statement which
you might make?
Ninth-Is it not fact that you are
irving to have created board OF public
works. so that there would be rat
place for you?
Tenth-Is it not fact that you, who
such short time ago rendered your
resignation as city engineer, are to-day
using every means i'll your power 10
bolster yourself up in order to secure
reappointment?
Eleventh-Is it not fact that you
changed your opinion in one night In
regard to the Gaskell & Worthington
pump?
Now, questions Of similar import
might be asked Mr. Rinker intermina-
bly,, but these few will do for the pres
emit. AL d. ERMAN.
