WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. D. G.. April II. 1891
Mr.. Blaine has lost none of his old time cum
ming. He wishes to give the country the i'm
preston that he is running the Department of
State entirely Independent of Mr.. Harrison,
and to help that idea along he waited until after
Mr.. Harrison had gone ON his grand gote hunt
ing tour before he delivered copy of the re-
ply of this government to the last dispatch of
the italian government to Marquis Imperiali
the Italian charge d'afaires in this city. for
transmission to Rome, although, I have it on
excellent authority, that reply had been entire
ly written and approved by Mr. Harrison and
the cabinet as long ago as last Saturday.
This reply is one of the longest and most
elaborate documents ever sent by this govern
ment to a foreign nation, and it informs the
Italians in unmistakable language that the
United States does not propose to interfere with
the regularly constituted State Courts under
any circumstances. and that when it shall have
been proven that any citizen or citizens of Italy
were among the members of the "Mafia'' lynch
ed at New Orleans, it is willing to take up the
question of paying to his or their families a
money indemnity. 1t is in short thoroughly
American letter. Mr.. Blaine has many faults,
but lack of Americanism isn't one of them,
thank heaven.
TEDDY" Roosevelt is the happiest man in
Washington since he found out that his Civil
Service Commission was to have added to the
number of people over whom it tyranizes about
900 employees of the Indian service mostly con-
nected with the Indian schools. A non partisan
Indian service may be very desirable. but it
will never be accomplished as Ion as the agents
and their employes-not under "Teddy's"
supervision-are republican strikers, as they
are now.

The NlicrObe of La Grippe.

The LEADER in a recent issue published press
dispatches from Chicago announcing the dis
covery of the living parasite-or microbe-of
La Grippe by Prof Gentry. the famous micro
scopist OF that city. The public and the medi-
cal profession now have, therefore, full con-
firmation of the French and German theory
that the epidemic now raging throughout the
world is caused by the propagation of poison
GUS animalcules in human blood and that the
natural cure is by the new microbe killing
principle which forms the base cf William
Radam's scientific formula, which proved so
universal and SO infallible remedy in the in
fluenza epidemic of 1890 The specific energy
of that wonderful medicinal water is in its
direct counteraction and naturalization of ali
| forms of poisonous microbic life in man, 1t
| liberates the entire system and the entire Cir
culation from all living disease germs, and is
| accepted as the most powerful curative agency
ever given to mankind. 1t is called Radam's
| Microbe Killer in literal and precise definition
of its action on human blood. and under that
name is now staying the ravages of La Grippe
and justifying its wide fame as the most 1ndis-
pensable remedy in the pharmacopoeia of the
world IL Cleveland Leader.
E. c. Belden is the Ravenna agent for the
| above remedy.

Julius Woodruff died at his home on West
Main street last Wednesday afternoon at 415
O'Clock, of u complication OF ailments that com-
pleteIy prosurascd him during the past four or
five months.
Julius Woodruff was born September 80 ISL
at Green, Shenango county, N Y. Both sides
of his parental lineage led back to tolid Con-
necticut stock, the maternal line of ancestry
being that of the family of Yales, the founders
| and promoters of the great institution of learn
| ing bearing their name. Be came to Ohio with
his arents in 1898, the family locating at Burg
Hill. Trumbull county, When about 20 years
of age he went to Wisconsin and was elected
Surveyor of Grant county. retaining his office
for about years. He then returned to Ohio,
and n 1916 was married to Miss Elvira Lee, of
Poland, Mahoning county who died in Deem
| ber. 1856. leaving three children, Lucius L.,
born April 18th, 1917; Wendell P, born Oct.
14th, 1858, both of whom now residents of
| Salt Lake City, and Roswell 5, born March 18th,
1S49, deceased.
In November of the following year MIR. Wood
ruff married Miss Sarah Reed, at Orangeville,

Of this union, Julius r.. born Dec. 2s, 1859, de-
ceased; Chauncey B.. born June p. 1881, now

After his first marriage he returned to Wi
| consin. where he engaged in farming for several
years; thence returning to this State. he en-
| gagged in the manufacture of inks, mucillage,
&C.. dividing his time between that and travel
| ling on the road, until coming to Ravenna in
the spring of 1865. whe re he continued to reside
up to his decease. Since his marriage, fully
| one-half of Mr.. Woodruffs time was spent on
the road, I'd there were few statesmen better
| known than he.

| to Maple Grove Cemetery
! Of the life and character of Julius Woodruff,
there is little need to speak The noble sim
plicity of the man, his conscientious rectitude
| in all the affairs of life were well known all
who ever became acquainted with him. He was
man of large mind and heart. firm in his con-
| Yictions of duty, and faithful in the discharge
of every known obligation His integrity COM
marded the most unbounded confidence of his
fellowmen. and he never betrayed the trust re-
posed in him As husband, father, citizen and
| friend, no man ever approached the end of his
Aife with a higher or better record
The citizens of Ravenna will perpetuate the
me- emory of Julius Woodruff for the simple
grandeur of his life. and while other lives have
called forth the NEST extravagant panegyrics,
such an one as Mr.. Woodrun's needs not that
the language of lyrical rapture he substituted
for the more enduring tribute of q simple testi-
moniAl.

to be talked about by the administra-
ton until Mckinley has had an oppor-
tunity to bamboozle the Ohio farmers
by telling them of what they owe him
for the cluaser in his tariff act shutting
