MARSHAL IMAGINATION.
The French Soldier and Statesman
Passes AWAY

LILO ITGLcH SO!ulGr ana statesman
Passes Away.
PARIS, Oct. 17.-Marie Edne Patrick
Maurice de MacMahon died at 10 o'clock
this morning. MacMahon died at Chateau
la Forest on the river Loire. He was
able to take food till yesterday. During
the night his strength gradually declined
until the end came peacefully. The men,
bers of the family were at the bedside.
MacMahon was a Marshal of France
and exPresident of the French Repub-
lie. He was born at Sully, July l3, 1905,
and derived his descent from an Irish
family, who risked and lost all for the
last of the Stuart Kings. Marie Edne
entered the military service of France in
1925, at the school Of st. Cyr; was sent to
the Algerian Wars of 1880; while acting
as Abide Camp TO General Archard took
part in the expedition to Antwerp in 1882;
attai ed to the rank of Captain in 1888,
and, after holding the post of Abide
Camp to several African Generals and
taking part in the assault of Constantine,
was nominated Major of Foot Chasseurs
in 1910, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Foreign
Legion in 1912. Colonel of the Forty-irst
of the line in 1915 and General Of Brigade
in 1846. When, in 1855, General Canrobert
left the Crimea, General MacMahon,
then in France, was selected by the En-
peror to succeed him in the command
of division; and when the chiefs of the
allied armies resolved on assaulting Sc
bastopol, September 8th, they assigned
to General MacMahon the perilous post
of carrying the works of the Malakotf.
For his brilliant success on this occasion
he was presented with the Grand Cross of
the Legion of Honor; and in 1856 was
nominated knight Grand Cross of the
Bath. General MacMahon, who took a
conspicuous part in the Italian campaign
of 1859, received the baton of Marshal,
and was created Duke of Magenta, in
cOmmemoration of that victory. He con-
Quoted the siege against the Commune
and assisted NJ. Theirs in reorganizing
the army. When NJ. Theirs resigned the
Presidency of the republic MacMahou
was elected to fill the vacancy. He
formed a conservative administration.
The Senatorial elections at the beginning
of 1879 gave the Republican party an eff
tective working majority in the upper
Chamber. NJ. Dufaure's Cabinet was at
once pressed to remove the most con-
spicuous anti-Republicans among the
Generals and officials. Marshal Mac
Mahon refused to be a party to these
measures, and, seeing that resistance was
idle, resigned on January 30th, and was
succeeded by NJ. Grevy. After his cleo
ton as President OF the republic, Marshal
MacMahon was decorated with the in
sigma of various foreign orders.

HARVESTING Machinery.

The harvester was invented by McCor-
mick in 1881. Since that time this ma
chine has been brought to such perfec-
ton that, it is said, it will cut and bind an
acre of grain in forty-five minutes. To
such an extent has machinery superseded
hand work in the grain farms of the
Northwest that it is estimated that the
labor of one man will raise enough grain
to support thousand men for year,
while the labor of second will transport
it to market, and that of third will pre-
pare it for food.

GRIEFswALD (Pomerania), Oct. IA
startling tragedy occurred at the resi-
dence OF the princely family of Blucher
de Wahlstatt, descendants of the famous
Marshall Blucher. The family is wealthy,
with marriage connections in England
and the United States. Countess Blucher
became dIspleased with and dismissed a
pretty maid servant with whom the
Counts gardener was desperately in love.
The man pleaded with the Count and
Countess in vain for the retainment OF his
inamorata. Later the Count and Count
ess were looking out of the window,
when the gardener jumped from behind
bush with rifle and fired, killing the
Count, the same shot wounding the
Countess in the neck. The man then SUI
icided with the same weapon.
ANOTHER VERSION.
BERLIN, Oct. 7.-At a late hour to-
night what is probably correct version
of the murder of Count Blucher reached
this city. 1t now appears that the man
who murdered the Count was a game
keeper named Thiel, who had been re-
buked for misconduct by the Count.
Thiel soon afterwards returned with a
gun, which he aimed at the Count. The
latter attempted to seize the gamekeeper,
and struggle followed. Thiel managed
to shake himself free, and fired both bar
rels of the gun at the Counts head, in
tllcuing injuries from which Count
Blucher died quarter of an hour later.
The Countess, hearing the shots, hur-
ried to the scene, and was fired
upon by Thiel, the shot entering her
shoulder and arm. The Countess is still
alive. Thiel had frequently been re-
buked for dissipation.

"The Democrats are doing themselves all
the harm that could possibly be done
them as a party now, and they do not
need any help from the Republicans"
said he. 81 cannot say what our people
will say about the reported compromise
on silver until we know of its terms.
They want all they can get of it, and they
