Miss Ida V. Roraback was a native of Salisbury. Ct, where she was born in June 1855. Her parents removed to Sheffield a few years later. After at tending the schools of that town she at once began teaching. She taught pub- lie school and private school at Lake vile, Conn, for three or four years In 1879 she accepted call to teach the centre second primary school in this town, (Gt. Barrington.) Her peculiar fitness for her occupation was soon demonstrated and recognized and two years later she was promoted to the po- sition of principal of the intermediate department, and year later to assis- tant at the High school, position she held at the time of her death. During her career here she was an active mem- Der of the Congregational church and took not only an active interest in church work, but in all public improve ments. Her work in the High school canno- be too highly commended, and it is said that had it not been for her devotion to her parents in Sheffield, which kept her here, sue would prob- ably have accepted some one of the more advantageous offers made her to teach in larger towns and cities. F. A. H0smer, president of Oahu college, Honolulu, Fl. l., made her a tempting offer to take charge of the mathemati- cal department of said colleges but for the resons already stated she declined the offer. She had the esteem and love of her pupils, and was woman of far broader education and knowledge than was generally supposed. The High school at Ct. Harrington has been clos ed on account of her death.
 At this point it is proper to state that the NEWS desired to publish in full the sermon which the Rev Dr Marvin deliv- cred at the funeral of Miss Roraback. On Monday the editor of the NEWS wrote to Dr Marvin and requested the

WISCONSIN SENATOR.
Democrats Think His Name Is
knight.

MADISON. Wis, Jan. 16.-The friends of
John H. knight of Ashland, claim that
the caucus of Democrats to nominate a
United States Senator will be brief and
that knight will be named unless Bragg
of Fond du Lac. and Mitchell of Milwau-
kee, succeed in forming a coalition for
some dark horse.
knight claims thirty y-thrce votes on the
first ballot with sufficient number Of
members fayoring him for the second
choice to exceed AZ, necessary to
nominate. The springiuG OF a dark
horse might deplcte the Ashland mans
ranks. and it is thought by many that
he is over-sanguine.
The death of Senator Fred Horne OF
Cedarsburg Yesterday, takes one vote
from Mitchell's and one from Bragg S
list of second choice legislators. but it
does not reduce the number of the AZ
votes necessary to make a majority OF
the caucus. Eiehty-two ballots would
have been cast with Horn; his death
leaves 81, but still 40 votes is ma jority

Caucus of Republicans to Deter
mine an Order of Business.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-There was a
caucus of Republican Senators this
morning to arrange the order of busi-
ness to follow the anti-option bill, which,
it is expected, will be disposed of Wednes-
day. Nothing final was done because
of the report of certain Senators to bind
the caucus to take up the silver report
resolution Immediately after the anti
option bill. AS was expected the silver
Senator's bitterly resisted this attempt
and the caucus adjourned to meet to-
morrow.
The House today is engaged in dis

various executive departments having
the matter in charge for statement oi
the amount of Southern war claims
allowed and disabled by them.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS.
They Gained Nothing by the he.
cent strike of Miners.

BERLIN, Ian. 16.-Whatever may be
the future intentions of the Social Demo-
Gratis to inaugurate a general strike
among tho German coal miners, there
can be no question that the present
difficulty, that had its origin in a So
cialist desire to spread their doctrines
and gain converts has resulted in an
ignomiou us failure. Notwithstanding the
efforts of certain malcontents to keep as
many Of the miners as possible from re-
turning to work, the men who quit their
employment some days ago are anxious
to return. In the Gclsenkirchen district
all the miners, with the exception o
those suspected of haying been implicated
| in the la wlessncss that characterized the
strike are at work, and no further
trouble is apprehended.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Ian. 16.-Never in
the history of the Central South has
there been so much suffering from cold
weather as at present. Allthc rivers are
blocked with ice and snow. rendering
passage over them impossible. Many
trains are late, some abandoned by their
suffering crews. Most intense suffering
is prevalent among the mountaineers.
The snow is from ten inches to three feet
deep in eastern Tennessee and western
North Carolina and eastern Kentucky,
and all kinds of labor are suspended.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 16.-Not for
thirty years has there been such severe
weather as now prevails in this section.
The thermometer is far below zero, and
dozens or more of people are reported
frozen to death. Business of all kinds is
suspended, and the united efforts of city
officials ard church members are being
utilized to aid the poor. All trains are

MIR. cLEVEI.AND's CABINET
Neither Illinois Nor wisconsin
I.ikelv to be Represented In It.

WASHINGTON, Ian. 13.-Unless Mr..
Cleveland changes his mind during the
next few weeks the chances are that Illi-
nois nor Wisconsin will have a represen-
tative in the Cabinet. A Senator who
has been recently in consultation with
Mr. Cleveland reports to his anxious
colleagues here that both of the Western
States which threw their electoral votes
to the Democratic column are likely to be
left in the cold as far as representation in
the Cabinet is concerned. The only man
who has been seriously pressed upon the
President-elect from Illinois is Col. Nor.
rison, and Wisconsin's S one candidate is
MIR. Wall. AS things now stand Mr..
Cleveland doesn't want either of them in
his Cabinet.
AS for Illinois, Mr.. Cleveland believes
| that State already has sufficient honor
| under the government. He is represented
| as saying that Illinois has the Vice-Pres-
idency, the Chief Justiceship, and at the
present time the Chairmanship of the
| Committee on Ways and Means III the
House. and that this was enough for
any State. Possibly this is mere ex-
cuse for leaving Illinois off his Cabinet
slate. His objections to Wall and Nor
rison are not entirely personal. Geo
graphical considerations have much
weight, and just now the Chief trouble
which Mr.. Cleveland is struggling with
is to fit the geography of the country to
the men he has under consideration for
the various places.
Although it is only seven weeks to in
auguration day. he has not made much
progress with his Cabinet. Carlisle and
Lamont are the only certainties. Dor
Dickinson has once declined to be Secre
tary of State, and Mr.. Cleveland is after
him again. The friends of the Michigan
statesman think he will succumb thi
time and take the place. While this re
mains unsettled Mr.. Cleveland naturally
has some geographical embarrassment
as to Illinois and Wisconsin. To add te
the complication, it is believed that thu
post now held by Jerry Rusk has beer
offered to ex-Gov. Gray, of Indiana, ane
if Dickinson should accept and Gray de
eide to become Secretary of Agriculture
that would make three Cabinet officer
in row-kentucky, Indiana, and Mich
igan-and render it we'll nigh impossible
to take two more from the adjoining
States of Illinois and Wisconsin.
Mr.. Cleveland can make no furthe
progress with his Cabinet till he hit
upon Secretary of State. There is lit
tie reason to doubt that Don Dickerso
will be the man, and that Wisconsin an
Illinois will be left out in the cold.-N.

BOON TO ELDERLY LADIES.

Elderly ladies who prefer black to
colors will hail the return of the
duchesse gown. 1t is such a bright,
handsome fabric, and adjusts itself so
we'll to the figure, and is none too fine
for every day service. Indeed, as the
old settlers say, you can wear it to
mill or to market. 1t is just the thing
to wear in this electrical age, and il
you happen to spill a cup of tea OF
coffee over the front breadths, you
can sponge il off and the satin will
never show a crease. Formerly when
this goods was used it had stiff effect,
but probably that was on account of a
lack of trimming. But we gild the
rose and paint the lily in our day, and
wide lace bretelles will add beauty to
a handsome satin gown. One reason
why this fabric is again popular is
that the coming outside garment will
be jacket, and satin is the only ma.
terial that will slip easily into the
Jacket sleeves. Detroit Free Press.

A Scouts Tribute to Custer.

Living in comparative retirement
in a neat cottage on Ashby avenue, IN
South Berkeley, is a man who enjoys
the distinction OF being, pei hapS, the
only white person who witnessed the
massacre OF General G. A. Custer
and his little band OF cavalrymen
BY hostile Sioux on the Little Big
Horn River on juno %, 1875.
Josiah ]. Rose is the man. He
spent nearly six years with General
Custer as scout, first entering the
service In 1859, after Clusters restora-
ton 10 his command. Custer was at
that time suffering keen mental tor
ture because OF his suspension two
years before for cruelty to his men
and for having left his command
without permission.
The charge Of cruelty against Gus
ter was, in Roses opinion, absolutely
groundless. This judgment Is based
upon his subsequent intercourse with
the general In the Bad Lands Of
Dakota "a relationship which re-
suited In the discovery by Rose that
Custer was "a whole souled man with
a heart like wOman's."
81 have often read, here and there,
articles upon General Clusters char
acter as a man and soldier" said the
ex-scout to the writer. Nearly all
Of these were incorrect, particularly
those In which he was charged with
being cruel and heartleSs towards hii
men, and all that sort Of thing. Now
/ know he was man with big
heart, kind and considerate. He was
a strict dlsciplinsrian, however and
this, no doubt, was the cause OF the
attacks upon him. But he was a
thorough soldier, with a soldiers idea
OF duty and discipline. That cannot
re regarded as a fault in a command
ing officer on an expedition where
the observance Of all rules OF army
discipline is essential to safety and
success. San Francisco Chronicle.
