hotel. He WAS then seized With apo
plexy, his lei; side being paralyzed.
Physicians were summoned from this
city and littsblirg but they could do
nothing for him. Ills daughter, Mrs.
james a. Garfield Of Mentor, was
called by telegraph, and She reached
her fathers bedside at noon, with her
brother, John i. Newell OF Cleveland.
He was still conscious ut that time, but
could not speak. Death came painless
ly two and Il half hours later.

age. He entered the railway service
i'll 1916 as Il rodman and was afterward
assistant engineer of the Central Yer
mont railway. In 1851 he worked on
the extension Of the Champlain Il st.

GRADUATED sugar sold at wholesale
In eastern cities June 80, 1889 for
. 1-2 and 9 rs cents pound. In
March, 1891, five months after the
passage of the Mckinley act, putting
raw sugar on the free list, it was sell
ing IN the same markets at wholesale
for 4 3-4 and 4 rs cents pound, and
that continued to be the price with
slight variations for more than three
years. On July Z, of this year, it
was 4.76 and 4.S9 cents a pound.
When the passage of the Havemeyer
tariff bill became a certainty the
Wholesale price went up, and last
week 1t was 5.15 and 5.2S cents in
eastern markets, with other advances
expected as soon as the bill became a
law. In San Francisco there has
been an advance of three -fourths of a
cent pound since May l when it
was reasonably certain that the sugar
trust dominated the democratic con-
gress. The consumers of sugar must

Shifting the Burden.

Our democratic friends here have
nothing to say about Cleveland, the
tariff or the main issues, which were
mutilated by the last Congress, but
are busily engaged in lamenting the
victory they gained at the last cleo
ton, and shifting the burdens on
others. It is shallow, but it helps to
keep up the nerve of those who are
trying to live down the party's faults
and failures. The following from the
Snohomish Democrat is fair sample
"The republicans never were so
lucky as in sustaining defeat at the
last election. They escaped from
power at the very moment when the
natural result of their own policies
and practices, and of the national sin
of wild speculation was ready to fall
as an affliction upon the people. But
their ready and hypocritical cry that
the democrats are responsible for the
hard times will not deceive the sensi-
BILE men permanently. Election day
will show that the people are not SO
easily fooled, ,.but recognize in demo
cratic control the conservative, mid
die ground of safety from the evils OF
both plutocracy and mobocracy.

Objecting as Usual.

The Northe Pacific railroad will this
year present new reasons in support
OF petition for exemption from taxa
ton. They will ask that their line of
road and the thousands and thousan ds
of acres of land be not assessed for the
reason in the first instance that the
road is in the hands of receivers and ia
therefore temporarily the property of
the government, and in the second in
stance that the company has not vet
secured patents on its lands. On the
the other hand it is contended that
company has done everything necess-
ary to entitle it to receive patents, and
equity can therefore not follow.
The company's receivers have filed
with the county commissioners q
statement claiming that their right of
way in Thurston county to the extent
OF 200 feet on either side of the tracks
including all ground occupied for
stations, workshops, depots, machine
shops, turn-table and water tanks used
in the operation of the main line of
railroad and Cascade branch in the
state of Washington, and also the
roadbed, track and superstruction is
exempt from taxation. They protest
against any part of the property being
assessed for the pupose of taxation.
In support of this petition, the rail
road claims that its main line is in the
hands of receiver, and is therefore
the property of the United States.
This applies only to the main line
They also claim exemption on all land,
which have not been patented to
them, and in accordance with such
claim they express a willingness to
pay for 1861 acres, for which patents
havo been issued. This leaves 69,934
acres in Thurston county on which
they don't want to pay taxes, on the
contention that it is government prop.

The Famous Giantess.

was for many years the leading at
traction with Barnum and other
showmen On account OF her enor-
nous bulk. Miss Swan was a sister
of Mrs. Robert Mcintosh, of Tum-
water, and related to the Swan and
Mcintosh families residing in this
county. The following from the Pic
tou, N. S., Advocate, will be of inter
est:
1t was lately the writer's privilege
to visit the old home of this woman,
whose abnormally large size was a
ver'table freak of nature which caus-
ed the knowledge of her existence to
travel forth from the rural solitude of
her birth place in New AMMAN, and
literally to spread around the world.
1t will be six years in August next
since Annie Swan died, lacking one
day of having reached the forty
second anniversary of her birth. She
had seven sisters and five brothers,
being thus one of a family number
ing thirteen among whom were twins.
She was the third eldest child.
At seven years of age Annie was
taller than her mother, who is nearly
of the average height. At II years
she was 6 feet and l inch tall. At the
age of II she had grown to the almost
incredible heighth of feet 6 inches,
and by this slime had attracted the at
tention of Barnum, who persuaded
her to join his great show. He gave
out that she was s feet l inch high,
and 30 tall did she appear that few
doubted the accuracy of the state
ment. However, feet inches was
Annie Swans actual height, and she
was we'll proportioned. A shoe of
hers measured about 13 inches in
length and her foot is said to have
appeared small in it.
After being with Barnum about
five years, she was married to a man
only one inch shorter than herself
His name was Bates and he was born
in Kentuckey. His great size attract
ed the attention of man engaged in
Barnum's occupation who, upon hear
ing of Annie Swan, determined to
have her travel in his company as a
complement of his giant, Capt Bates
The marriage of these two was readily
conceived and duly consummated,
Annie being then % years of age and
her husband not much older The
two travelled together and had plenty
of money. They were engaged to
show themselves in leading cities of
America and the old country for a
period of IA months at $1,000 per
month. Two childen were born to
Annie Swan, but beth died when only
few days old; they were abnormally
large at birth as was their mother,
weighing about 20 pounds.
This New Amman giantess died of
wasting consumption. Her husband
still lives. He has a fine place in
Ohio. The doors, rooms and windows
were made purposely high to allow
the large pair to pass in and out COM
fortably. At the time of her going
with Barnum she had an ordinary
common school education, and there
after took music lessons and became
otherwise accomplished. AT the time
of her death she was worth SIC, 900.
Her people were thus placed above
want.
