WELCOME END.
Hon. Roberi C.. Winthrop Passes to
tn Great Beyond.

Hon. Robert Charles Winthrop, the last re-
preventative Of the school OF BostOn's public
men during the anti-slayery struggle, died
quietly and peacefully at his home, llO MARI
boro street. Although It had been ioreseen,
the end came suddenly, and his only son,
Robert Charles Winthrop, Jr., together
with the two nurses, were present to
witness the passing Of tins great, noble life
To him 1t came as a relief to his intense phys
lcal suffering, and during the last days he
had often openly expressed himself as long
Ing for the end to come. natural weakness
OF the heart, which had greatly increased
with his advanced age, was the immediate
cause Of death. Robert Charles Winthrop
was born in Boston May II, 1909. His father
was Thomas Lindall Winthrop and his
mother Elizabeth Bowdoin T,mple-WIn-
throp. Robert c. Winthrop was descended
from two governors Of that name,
from Chief justice Waite Winthrop, from
Governors Thomas and Joseph Dudley, from
Governors james BowdOin Of Huguenot
blood, from Hon. John Erying, one q. the
kings counsel before the revolution; from
Hon. Edward Tying, one Of the kings coun-
sci in 1851; from Hon Simon Lynde, the
father and grandfather Of two chief justices /;
from Francis Brown, the ancestor also OF JUS
tice Joseph Story
His mothers father was Sir John Temple,
ernor Bowdoln.
Mr.. Winthrop studied law in the Office OF
Daniel Webster for three years. His mastery
OF legal lore was never put to a practical ap-
plication. but it was undoubtedly Of great
benefit to him in after life. While having no
craving for office in the sense ofthe politician,
he yet had II desire to enter into public life.
| He was the youngest man ever clectcds speak
| er of the Massachusetts house Of repre-
sentativeS. He was only rs years old when
elected to the legislature, and only four
| years older when called upon to preside over
| its deliberations. concistent whig he was
elected to congress in 1910. serving there ten
years, and filling the speakers chair during
the last three years OF his service. In 1850,
Daniel Webster, having been called to the po-
/ sition OF secretary Of state under Pres. Fill
more, Mr.. Winthrop was appointed by the gov
ernor to the vacancy In the senate. The next
year he was the whig candidate for governor.
| Mr.. Winthrop was the orator at the inaug-
uration of the Franklin statue in 1856 "a
statue which he origimriiy 5;.SiScst"dl at the
Inauguration OF the statue OF Gen. Warren in
1856; at the unyeiling Of the Webster statue
in Central Park, New York, In 1876, and at
the centennial celebration in Boston the same
! year, ut the unveiling Of the Prescott statue
at Bunker Hill in 1884, and at Yorktown Va,
| on tue occasion of the centennial Of the sur
render OF Corvallis Oct. lS, 1881. While
| MIR. Winthrop vividly painted his historical
| pictures in all these addresses, the greatest
value Of his orations lay in his clear concep-
! tion and analysis OF the underlying causes oi
! the events he narratcs.

DIR. OsgOod Tells How to SteTilIZe

The work OF the Massachusetts, Cattle

Tuberculosis, or, plain English, the food
upon which the tuberculosis bacillus thrives

animals, and within 10 to lG hours
a reaction in the form Of general fever
is obtained. On the strength Of this reaction
the animals ARE condemned and killed.
When it is considered that the present state
appropriation Of $50. 900 forms the limit Of

that there is u virtual quarantine on every

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.
Bradstreet's Finds Increasing Conf
dence in General Trade.

Bradstreet's trade report says perhaps
the most conspicuous favorable feature OF
the general trade situation is found in num-
erous reports from merchants and manufac.
turers throughout the country OF q disposi-
ton to regard the business outlook
more encouragingly and with increased
confidence in an early improvement
In trade. Even In many portions Of
the South and Southwest, advices from
the interior are that the country mer-
chants are doing an increased volume OF
business, based ON favorable weather and
large crops This is the more striking. in
view Of continued reports Of the unfavorable
effect on trade in the South OF the low price
Of cotton. From Georgia 1t Is learned that
fertilizer manufacturers have arranged to
curtail their output next season, In some in
stances rs much as 40 per cent. In eastern
centres manufacturers OF glass, leather, lum-
ber, cottons and woollens, tobacco and
agricultural implements. as well as
jobbers in general dry goods, hard
ware, groceries, heavy clothing and
shoes in numerous instances report an in
creased volume OF business, indications OF
this tendency being corrobOrated by bank
cearing5 in rs cities amounting to sl,0l9, :
O0,OOJ, gain Of 7.6 per cent, as compared
with the week before; l per cent heavier
than in the Ike week last year, and % per
cent less than in the second week of Novem-
Der, 1892. This Is the first week in which
the volume Of clearings has equaled or ex-
ceeded IL .000,0 0 since early last January.
The heavy gain in shipments of shoes from
New England manufacturing centres Is con-
hnued, with total of l16, 900 cases, COM
pared with SO, 900 cases last year

In view of the great number OF post
o.ice burglaries and highway mail
robberies recently, the Postmaster
General has deemed it proper to offer
rewards for the conviction of persons
concerned in such transactions, which
emil race $1,000 for conviction OF rob-
hing the mails while being conveyed
in mail car on a railway; $500 for
conviction of robbing the mails while
being conveyed over any post route
other than railway; $3.50 for an
attempt at such robberies; 500 Tor
breaking into and robbinR post
Office, and $500 in the latter case,
where the amount stolen exceeds $ooo'
The Trenton True American thinks
these rewards ought to stimulate the
work of detecting and pursuing post
Office robbers.
