Canada is evincing a laudable de-
termination to purify herself Of Amer
ican boodlels aud bank wreckera. The
action of the dominion parliament in
transferring the Weldon extFadtion
bill to government orders, and The
remarks of Sir John Macdonald IN
support of the motion demonstrate
this conolusively. While the closing
of this avenue of escape to defaulters
and others of that class from the
United States is not likely TO lessen
greatly the number of such crimes, il
will, however, materially assist in
securing the apprehension aud pun
ishment Of the guilty. Canada owes

Frozen Milk.

Exchange,
At a recent meeting Of the Agricul-
turaI Society of France, M. Guerin, oI
6randvilles, read paper on new
method of preserving milk. He
showed that when it was frozen, milk
could be transported with the greatest
ease, and that, after being kept for
days and weeks, and then simply
lhawed out, it retained all tho char
acteristics of fresh milk. The paper
dealt first with the method of freezing,
which could BE- carried on in the ordi
nary ice machines if done on a suf
ticiently large scale, and then described
the experiments made to ascertain the
precise temperature at which the best
results might be expected.

These few lines are dedicated to the
memory of Minnie f. flanagan, of Calcaseu
p. o., La, who departed this life on the 23d
day of March, at the tender age Of seventeen.
Minnie flanagan was born to Fl s. and
Mary E. Sweeney, in Cameron parish, on the
4th day of July, 1872. Her life was an I'M
eVentful one, for the most part spent at home
amid the tender associations of a fond
father, mother. brothers and sisters.
On the 9th day Of October 1887, she was
baptized into the fellowship of the Vincent
Settlement Baptist church by the writer, and
forever afterward displayed the marks of
an earnest and devoted Christian. She was
modest aud unassuming, and the lOveliness
OF her character was apparent to all. On
June 18Th, 1888, she stood before the altar
and pledged her love and life to John A
flanagan, noble young sailor, who had
wOOed and won her tender heart. Thus the
stream Of life flowed smoothly on until about
the first Of last October, when she was
attacked by a stubborn case of diarrhna
which became chronic and finally resulted In
her death on the 23rd day of March.
Her suffering was borne with the fOrttude
and presence of a true Christian heroine
Not murmur escaped her lips during all
these months Of suffering aud sorrow. Her
only concern seemed to be for those who
suffered on her account A few weeks be-
tOre her death a wee baby boy was given her
as it were, that she might in turn give 1t over
into the hands of her bereayed companion
and friends as a dying legacy. May the Lord
RraCiOusIy grant that the little fellow, John
Richard, may live to bless the home of his
grand parents and the heart of the poor
bereaVed father, and keep fresh in the
memory Of all fond reCOlGCIiOns of her who
lives again In the child Nav God send His

| JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept "a. "A tornado
OF great violence passed over Pablo beach.
sixteen miles from here on tho Atlantic
coast, at o'clock Monday night 1t arose
In the southwest, and without
any warning except the backening
OF the sky, it struck Murray HALL,
an immense beach hotel, twisted
the tin roof from tho main structure and
towers, burst In the windows and doors on
| the west side and left it in a generally
shattered condition. The bowling-alley,
servants quarters and carpenter-shop west
OF the hotel are completely demolished, as
is also the greater portion OF tho beach
pavilion.
Prince O'Neil, aged l3 was standing by a
horse and buggy near the dancing pavilion.
The horse, vehicle and boy were lifted into
! the air and blown nearly 200 feet to the
beach, whore they were found ten minutes
later, all in heap. The boy was killed out
right, the body being terribly bruised and
manglcd. A freight car on side track was
lifted in the air, turned over twice and
landed on the north side OF the main track
sixty feet distant passenger train due
at o'clock was half an hour late owing to
distractions on the track. Had it arrived
on time hundred cottagers returning
from the city would doubtless have
been killed or seriously injured The
forco OF the wind was such that
pieces of timber were driven through
the two-inch plank flooring of the railroad
station, and were with great difficulty ex-
treated for the passage of the train. The
cottagers escaped with little or no dam
age, and no serious injury to persons is re-
ported beyond the death OF the ONeill boy.
The damage to Murray Hall and surround
ings Is roughly estimated at $4,000 1t
closed for the season last Wednesday.
Telegraph wires arc down and all COM
munication is cut of. Ton minutes before
the tornado swept over the place the oper-
ator in the office at Murray Hall was warned
by wire from Jacksonville of cloud-burst
in this city, and Mt that very moment an
electric charge on the wire burned a
cash in the operators hand. Great
excitement exists even now among the
cottages, but perfect calm in the weather
prevails. The tornado covered an area OF
not over seventy five feet in its revolu-
tions. People and buildings outside of this
circle were uniniured. 1t passed off toward
the northwest, and was less than three
minutes in duration. Aside from the de-
molished roof and broken glass Murray
Hall stood the attack of the tornado re-
markably well.

Partisanship and True Citizenship.

Under the above headline, the n. Y.
Press, in its editorial columns, gives prom
inent place to the following question and
answer. The subject is of so much political
importance that we commend it to the
special attention of every reader of The
TIMES:
$40 the Editor of The Press: Can man
be strict party man and true citizen?
Respectfully, L. l.. M.
New YORK, Sept II. - .Ai-1
q Most certainly he can. Let him examine
the history and tendencies of parties, ascer-
tain to the best of his ability which party is
most truly progressive, morally and intel
lectually, in its tendencies, and most in ac-
cordance with his own convictions of justice,
right and sound policy in its principles, and
adopt that party as his own. He not only
can do this and be true citizen, but he
should do this before he can, strictly speak
ing, be called true citizen; for it is duty
of true citizenship to regard means as well
as ends, and a desirable end can sooner be
attained in public affairs by cooperation,
organization, a party, than by the partial
waste of countless individual efforts.
Having chosen his party, the true citizen
helps it by saying what he thinks and assert
ing his individuality as much as is consist
ent with the recognition of the rights of
others. That will help to make his party
strong. Nor does he fly off at tangent If
the majority of the party disagrees with him
and dominates candidate to whom he is
opposed. Unless his objection to that can
didate is vital, he should waive his individ-
ual preferences and support him ardently
from the time he is nominated If, on the
other hand, his objection is vital, this is
land of free silence as well as free speech,
and no party law can require him to declare
that he personally admires the candidate.
But he should vote with and stand by his
party in any event, if he votes at all, as he
always should do, and not support or even
vote for the opposing candidates. He will
thus be able to exert much more influence
over his party for good than IL he bolted
even temporarily; the conscientious element
of IL will be so much larger for him, and the
protests which 1t makes so much more likely
to be respected by the officials.
If all true citizens were active partisans
and took frank part i'm the preliminary
work Of campaign, there would be no
candidates to whom there were vital o0jec-
tons. There are very few such candidates
surprisingly few, all things considered
anyhow, but such as do run away with
party nominations get them as the result of
the neglect of the party duties by more or
less true citizens" who leave the primaries
TO the least disintercsted element of poll
ticians.
An overwhelming majority Of the true
citizens known to The Press are members
of the Republican party"

AS bearing on the question of free text
books for our public schools the following
item clipped from the Concord n. III. Moni-
tor may he of some interest: 1.-The Hart
ford Post, commenting upon the result of
the school election in New Haven, on Mon
day, thinks the school book manufacturers
will profit by the adoption of free text book
plan, ''as hundreds of families provide
books for their children for home use."
Such has not been the result in this city,
where we have had free text books in large
part of the city for several years past On
the contrary the better care of text books
under this free system makes them last
about twice as long, on the average, as when
provided by parents, and the demand for
books to read from the public library is
largely increased. There is no question
about the saving of expense in the purchase
of text books, or in the better care taken Of
them under the free text book system.
Parents generally are not inclined to furnish
an extra set of text books for home use, as
there is no need of it, for the pupils who are
required to study out of school hours have
the use of the free text books at their
homes"
