NEW YORK, Oct. ls.-Mrs. Elizabeth
Courtney, IA milliner. employed by Joseph
Reshower n Co., died very suddenly
while at work this morning. Mrs. Court
ney was making a dolls bonnet and. as
Mr.. Heck, superintendent for the firm,
WAS passing through the room, Mrs.
Courtney looked up and exclaimed :
Wouldn't this look fine on him 80 There
were several other women employed by
the firm near by, and the ludicrousness
of Mrs. Courtney's remark caused gener-
al laughter. The merriment had not
ceased when an agOniZed expression
passed over Mrs. courtney's face. and she
placed her hand upon her heart. indicat-
ing that she was in great pain. Before a
physician could be called she was dead.

work he thinks. Whenever he looks into
his empty dinner kettle ne thinks. When

children he thinks. When day after day

it viii remain idle and how soon it will
start up that he may get work to support
his family he thinks. When he secs

that they do not get he thinks. When he
sees foreign goods of kind similar that
he hoped to make in the home factory

home product and keep him out of work
he thinks. And finally when he consid-

brought this upon him after false pronis-

WE remind our friends THAT the
election of Senator and members of the
Assembly is of more than ordinary inn
portance this year. The coming Leg
islature will have the duty OF appor-
tioning the State into Congressional,
Senatorial and Legislative districts.
This duty has been deferred because a
Democratic governor stood in the mid
die of the road and barred all progress
unless he could have the entire right of
way. With Hastings in the executive
chair and Republican Legislature at
his back there will be no further trou-
BILE, except as to Republicans agreeing
among themselves. We have candi-
dates worthy in every respect, and the
greater majority We give them the
greater will be their influence in secur-
ing our county in acceptable Republi-
can districts. Give the Senatorial and
Legislative tickets a boost

TAMNANY i in its death throes and
burnt brandy can't save it. The latest
indication that its end Is near is the
fact that Nathan Straus, its candidate
for Mayor of the City of New York,
has withdrawn from the ticket and by
50 doing has carried dismay into the
very heart of the Democratic camp.
Without the immense fraudulent vote
the city habitually piles up for the
Democratic State ticket, Hill is hope
lessly beaten for Governor. With the
power of Tammany broken and its
ranks disOrganized, ii looks now as if
the Republicans will carry both the
City and the State of New York.
