Robert Browning Thinking Poet.

Browning is dead. He died Dec.
13 at 10 p. NJ, at his residence in
Venice. There had been no an
nouncement of his illness and the
news of his death came Unexpectedly
to all.
Mr.. Browning was born May z,
1912, at Cumberwell, now a part of
London. He was educated in Lon
don. In 1916 he married Elizabeth
Barrett, and they went to Florence
to live, remaining there until her
death in 1861. He then made his
home in England. His first work,
Pauline" was written at the age OF
nineteen, and published in 1888.
His last is "Asolands. He leaves
one son, Robert Barrett Browning,
an artist. And now that the voice
of Browning the singer is hushed,
what of the music? As a verse
maker he was negligent and unskill-
full; as poetic artist he was-he is
master.
One may say of Browning as Cole
ridge did of Shakespeare, "The in
tellectual power and the creative
energy wrestle as in war embrace
and there is the jar and groaning OF
battle"
But | like best to think of Brown
ing as a teacher. He speaks with a
voice of authority concerning things
that pertain to mans highest inter
ests. He is emphatically an ex-
FOUNDER of christian sentiments in
verse. He is a foe of creeds and
cuts straight to the core of mans
needs and destiny. Life, struggle,
immortality, are to my mind prom
inent points of Browning's teachings.
There is a grand far-reaching SYM
patty in this poets works which
seems to comprehend all sorts and
conditions of men. Since Sha ke-
speare has there been so myriad
minded poet-a poet more varied
in the use of all the resources of his
art?
| am mindful of the stereotyped
charge of obsourity. Yet, all the
so-called obscure poetry might be
destroyed and there would be left a
wealth of verse, direct and perspicu-
Gus enough to satisfy all demands.
lyric strains that ring like a trump
ct, and Others soft and musical.

worlds Fair Organization.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Director General
Davis and Secretary Dickinson Of the
Worlds Columbian exposition have
issued a circular letter to the members
of the national commission, in refer
ence to the citizens in various states
and territories organizing for the pur-
pose of securing proper representation
at the worlds fair, making arrange
ments for their exhibits, raising funds
and getting proper measures through
the legislature. Attention is called to
the commendable promptness with
which the people of the state of Cali
fornia held a state convention to inaug-
urate the matter, and the legislature
of Iowa, appropriating $50. 900 for pre-
liminary expenses. with another ap-
preparation to be made next year.
A state convention of citizens is COM
mended as one of the best plans, and
permanent organization should be
effected to carry on the work in the
different states and territories. The
commissioners will be requested to
visit the legislatures this winter and
use their best endeavors to see that
the plan of organization is adopted.

A GIrl,s Horrible Crime.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 4.-One of
the most terrible murders known in
the history of Erie county was COM
mitted at Akron, twenty-four miles
east of this city. A young woman
named Sarah McMullen, aged nine
teen, enticed Della Brown, aged six
years and Nellie May Connors, aged
ten, to the Akron cement works mar
row gauge railroad bridge at a height
of sixty-five feet over Murder creek.
All of a sudden she pushed them off;
the bridge into the precipice below.
Nellie was instantly killed but Della
Brown lives to tell the horrible tale,
although terribly mangled. It is
thought she will recover. The mis-
sing girls were found about 2 o'clock.
this morning.
After committing the act Sarah Nc
Mullen returned to the house where
she was living and said: Il am going
away. Perhaps you will not see me
again" She went to a milldam and
jumped into the water but vas seen
and rescued. No reason is assigned
for the terrible deed, and it is believed
that the McMullen girl is insane.

~
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 5.-The repub-
lican state committee on unofficial re-
turns received from seventy-fve coun-
ties and the remainder estimated claim
that the republican plurality on the
head of the state ticket will be between
IA, 600 and 10, 600. The committee
comedies the defeat of Mckinley (rep.)
for congress by about 200 and Foster
(rep.) by Is OF 100. The democratic
candidates in other close congressional
districts received majorities ranging
from 500 upward, except Cosgrove at
Cincinnati, who is defeated by Storer
(rep.) by 8. 700. One of the most re-
markable democratic gains was in the
Eleventh district, where Pattison
(dem.) is elected by 8, 100, with a gain
of /, 500 over last falls vote. The re-
publican committee comedies that the
delegation to congress will stand seven
republicans and fourteen democrats.
CANTON, O., Nov. 6.-Unless the
official countin Stark and Holmes coun-
ties changes, Mckinley is defeated by
227 votes.
The republican state committee still
claim the election of Poorman (rep) in
the Seventh district over Pearson.
Major Mckinley said this afternoon,
to an associated press reporter, that,
while ~conceding his probable defeat
by a small majority, he is satisfied
with the result. He said the issue
was between the protection tariff and
a tariff for revenue only, clear and dis
tinct, and nothing else entered into
the canvass.
Massachusetts.
BOSTON, Mass, Nov 5.-The vote
for governor shows an overwhelming
democratic victory. The returns on
votes for minor state officers are not
complete. The democrats elect Tref-
rey auditor over Lord, the present in
cumbent, by about 5000 plurality, but
the republicans elect lieutenant gov
ernor, secretary of state, treasurer and
attorney geneneral.
Montana.
HELENA, Mont, Nov. 5.-The dem
ocratic committee claim the election
of Dixon to congress by $50 majority.
The republican committee claims the
state for Carter by 125. The demo-
Gratis claim four state senators and
concede the republicans two with two
in doubt. The republicans claim five
state senator's. The contest is very
close all around and it may take the
official vote to decide it.

Boyd Governor sOf Nebraska.

OMAHA, Nov. 10.-There is no longer
any doubt of the election of James E.
Boyd as governor Of Nebraska. All
but two counties. Hooker and McPher-
son, have been heard from and Boyd
leads Powers by 1,001. The two coun-
ties to hear from have not cast over
$50 votes.
The contest between the candidates
on the state ticket below the governor,
as the counties come in, grow very
close. Only one alliance candidate is
in the lead according to the figures
which were last received, but there are
still nineteen counties to hear from and
ten of these give alliance maiorities of
from 200 to 600 on the vote for COVER
nor. The prospect at present is that
the whole alliance state ticket, with
the exception of governor, will be
be- elected.
Corrected returns from sixty-eight
counties give the followingg vote on
prohibition: For, 81, 31S; against,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 6.-Messrs. Ar
mour, Swift and Morris, the three big
packers, have confirmed the reported
purchase of 8, 700 acres in Lake coun-
ty, Indiana. for stock yards purposes.
They paid on an average of about $3.50
per acre for the land, making a total
cost of a little over $3.50, 900. In an
interview Mr.. Armour said: The rea-
son we have taken this move is to saw
81 on every car that is switched into
our present plant. Switching charges
are 81 each way, while down in the
new place the thing could be done for
so cents. One million dollars put into
a plant there would be able to buck
against the $23, 600. 900 capital invested
at the Union stock yards. Work will
be begun in a few weeks and the yards
ought to be completed some time with
in the next two years."

ture. Returns are coming in slowly
