his will. His beouests to that CITY,
it is estimated, will reach 81, ZOO, 600
and possibly moro, in addition to
the S250,000 library fund. We'll
may Winchester esteem his memory,
for truly has he shown for her a
most wonderful love and affection.
He was great lover of the Sonth
and for the cause which he fought
for and lost. He selected years ago
as his burial place lot in front of
and adjoining the centre of Stone.

Confederate soldiers are buried.
His funeral was attended by an i'm

Winchester and surrounding coun

and esteem for the memory aud
character of one who SO splendidly
manifested his friendship for their
battled SCARED city.

jeremiah Lynch Knocked Down on
North Main Street.
At S:25 o'clock this morning jeremiah
M. Lynch was struck by an electric car on
North Main street and his right eye and
the bridge of his nose were injured.
Lynch left his home at 81 Jefferson
street, q short time previous, and after
purchasing q pair of rubbers went
with William Pearl, the bar
Der at 251 North Main street, to
get glass of soda in a neighboring bar
room. After leaving that place they
started to cross the street, Pearl going
ahead. Lynch had crossed the track and
seeing wagon almost upon him, turned
suddenly back in front OF Prairie avenue
car, No. 206, the dasher handle of which
struck him on the head and
knocked him down. The wound bled
copiously and the helpless man was car
ried into the barber shop.
Sergeant Rowe and policeman George
w. Boss were soon at the place and DR.. 3.
8. Burton was called, dressed the wounds
and ordered the man taken to his home
in the ambulance. Just how serious the
injuries Inay become Is not known.
The car was in charge of George d. Ed
wards, motorman and George l.. Reed,
conductor. Mr.. Pearl, who saw the ac-
cident and tried to slgnal the inotorman n
to stop, said the csr was not going rapid
ly and that tie injury was due to the
sudden turning back Of Lynch. 1t is un-
derstood that Lynch Is not q drinking

II report from Bucyrus, Ohio, is
true. disposition is evident on the part
Of our Roman Catholic friends to resist
the papaI mandate demanding that
COMMITMENTS in the Roman Catholic
Church shall not be members OF certain
secret societies, specifically, as we recall
The mandate, Of the Odd Fellows,
Knights of Pythias and Sons Of Tenn
prrance.
Bucvrus is town of about six thou
sand inhabitants. 1t is said that large
number Of the influential members OF
the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, who
are also Pythians, will refuse to re-
nounce their membership III the Py-
THAN order. One OF these, it is
reported, was president Of the church
council, but declined reelection pend
ing expected action on his standing AS a
member Of the church.. The Bucyrus
Knights claim that the orders from the
Pope on this subject are un-American
and in the nature of oppression. The
Catholic members OF the Odd Fellows in
Bucyrus are reported to have made
similar protest against the mandate.
They declare they will sacrifice their
membership in the chNch rather than
in their lodges.
As we understand the relationship
existing between the Pope and the peo-
pie Of the Roman Catholic Church
all over the world, this decision to
abandon their church membership,
in the event of the mandate from Rome
standing, Is the only consistent thing the
Roman Catholic Pythians and Old
Fellows can do. There wonld seem to
be no room for argument in the matter.
II the Pope is recognized as the final
authority on what constitutes eligibility
to mem bership in the Roman Catholic
Church, as we understand he Is, the
Bucyrus Knights and Odd Fellows
should not wait to be put out of their
Church before going. Their action,
whatever its merits, makes it incumbent
on them to leave the Church, just as the
persistence in any other act opposed
to the creed and policy of
their Church. According to the Pops's
ruling, they cannot he good Catholics
and remain in the orders named. We
are unable, by reason of lack of available
statistics. to reckon on how much of a
problem the papal mandate is going to
make for the Roman Catholic Church
or for the prescribed societies. If
the stand taken by the Bucyrus oppo-
nents to ii is going to be taken all
over the country But the issue GER
tainly seems plain enough, whatever
hardship it works or however strenuously
it may be claimed that man can be
good Catholic and good Odd Fellow or
Pythian. As the situation now stands,
the two are incompatible and cannot be
united any more than oil and water.
Nevertheless, we can but feel an interest
to learn il the Church will endeavor to
hold the recalcitrants should they un-
dertake to 60. or drive them out should
they insist on staying.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS:
sIR-THE NEWS of Friday Jan. 25,
reprints an article from the Chicago Inter-
Ocean in reference to the once proposed
statue of Roger Williams on the top OF
Prospect Hill Memorial Column, "230
feet high" The overmuch wise writer
informs US that "Zachariah Allen, in his
diary of that time, says, with amusing
ignorance [sic] Of the problem presented
by the convexity of the earth:
"a statue on the top of this column
would stand nearly A50 feet high above
tide-water. 1t would be conspicuous from
Newport, Block Island, and think from
the State House In Boston,"
IL the writer of that article will turn to
"The Science of Mechanics" published by
Zsehariah- Allen in 1929, which for more
than half a century has been favorite
hand hook with the engineers and me-
chanics OF New England, he will find,
on page 1S1, a statement OF the true curva-
ture of the earth, and O rule for comput-
ing that curvature for various distances: (:
the actual curvature being practically
eight inches to q mile.
Providence being nearly midway be-
tween Block Island and Boston, such q
monument would not only be visible
from Block Island, but with little doubt,
as Mr.. Allen expressed it, from Boston
State House also, tin spite OF the con-
vexity OF the earth), unless the interven-
ing heights at Sharon and Blue Hills,
near Boston, obstructcd the line of vision.

BRITISH AFFAIRS.

The Queen opened Parliament yester-
day with speech briefly reviewing
British interests at home and abroad.
The speech received properly courteous
hearing and the Opposition to it seems to
be based ON the things that it did not say
rather than on any proposition it adj
vanced. The Government seemed to show
a disposition to make all the capital pos
sible out of the Armenian problem, with
view to taking attention from other
matters which might result in stirring
mp the Opposition, and while the speech
had little comment to make On the
situation, pending the report of the COM
mittee OF investigation, the government
leaders evidently prefer to talk about
Armenia rather than some other
things nearer home. This is a
pleasant diversion, especially when the
Government, in view OF the work of the
commission, Of course, does not have to
commit itself in the Armenian matter.
II is not pleasant thing, however,
that the Opposition seemed likely to
rally for its alta ck about the standard of
a fellow like JAMES KTER HARDIE, the
picturesque Socialist member of the
Commons. Indeed, we are informed by
the cable that the fate Of
the Government actually rested on
the amendment prepared by HARDtE,
and while the prophecies Of the cable do
not always prove so reliable as they are
sensational, Mr.. HARDIE seems to be
IN a very fair position TO make trouble.
His amendment was certainly not bad
one, and il is reported to be
couched in moderate terms. He objects
to the Queens speech because
1t contains no allusion TO the distress
prevailing among the people, and will
ask for legislation TO alleviate the con.
dition Of the poor.
There could be no reasonable objec.
tion to the speech on the ground that II
had nothing to say about the Anti
Lords movement because an address &c
Parliament was evidently no place for
contemplating such an action.
Two matters, while not new, are oI
especial interest in the speech. On,
is the recording Of the fact that with tn,
cessation of home rule agitation. land
league aggressions. off .nses of all kinds
against the law in Ireland have sunk {,

To THE EDITOR nF Tile NEWS;
SIR-It Is currently rumored around Au-
burn that it Is the desire of Providence to
annex this suburb in the near future.
There are those here who are seriously
considering the wisdom of such move as
there Is an existing need of many public
improvements, mainly better streets
the streets being in a shabby condition
owing to the large expenditures of the
towns money on the Pontiac road to the
Budlong estate and the widening and
grading of Broad street in Edgewood,
work having been done on both OF these
streets two or three times to accomplish
the same object. This village has the
largest tax list of any village in the town
of Cranston. In view Of these facts will
Auburn get the much desired improve
ments any quicker by becoming part of

THE tariff reformers promised that a
better demand for fine all-wool goods
would spring up owing TO the decrease
in the price of cloth (Which has taken
place.. A smaller proportion of wool
substitutes would be used, and n
smaller proportion of low grade goods
manufactured. The fact Is, however,
that high grade, all-wool goods
have suffered more than any other vari-
ETY.. Low grade goods are relatively
much better sellers. In the 10 months
ending October 80. 1894 (the latest sta
tistics avaiIable), we imported 1851, 1,315
pounds of waste, rags and shoddy; in
the 10 months ending October 30, 1892,
