called 70 This City BY Democrats to Con.
suit on Financial Matters.
Samuel Dana Horton, the distinguished
writer upon monetary topics, died at the
Garfield Hospital last night of Bright's
disease. Ten days ago Mr.. Horton came 10
the city at the request of leading members
of the administration for consultation upon
the financial situation, and was striC ken
10y the disease from which he had long suf-
fered.
Mir. Horton was native Of Ohio, was
born IN 1874, and was son of Valentine
ID. Horton, formerly member of Congress
from Ohio. He graduated from Harvard
in 1864, resided for a time in Pomeroy
Ohio, and has oflate years lived most of the
time abroad, in England and the continent,
where he, perhaps, WIS better known than
in America. He had written much for the
best known books were The Silver Pound, -
published in London in 1859, and "Silver
in Europe" published in 1892. Mr.. HoT-
ton was a delegate to the first monetary
conference, and was made secretary of that
body, and unofficially attended the last
conference, where his advice was of great
value TO the delegates from the United
states. The term "b;met alism" wGs dis
tasteful TO him, and he advocated interna
tiOnal parity or gold and silver.
Friends say that overwork was the real
cause OF his death. He leaves a Wife, who
is at Bath, England, and son at school in
Switzerland.

A FINE NEW RESIDENCE.
Harrild & ollinger's Work Putting
Up the Rineman House.


One of the finest new residences In
Salem is undoubtedly that of M. T.
Rineman, recently built by Messrs.
Harrlld q Ollinger. The building Is a
great credit to the contracting firm,
and must certainly prove q comfort
able home for the occupants. 1t Is one
of the few fine houses built without
the aid of an architect, as Mr. Harrild
made allithe plans himself.
The building lie S4x54 feet, with two
stories, basement and attic. In front
the porch Is assembled by broad, easy
stairs, and the reception ball Is entered
through handsome vestibule. The
hall Is handsomely arranged with
double window seats, an elegant man
tie and CRATE, with compact double
landing stairway. The grill work over
the stairs and the balcony seats is a
very artistic piece Of work, aud was all
designed as well as executed by Mr..
Harrild. To the left cf the entrance is
a large parlor, with splendid corner
CRATE. From this heavy double door
leads into the dining room, to the right
OF which Is very cosy sitting room or
side parlor. The rooms are all finished
in beautiful cedar, while the stair work
is light ash. From the kitchen at the
rear are two outside doors and porches,
as well as stairway to the second
story. Between the kitchen and the
diring room Is convenient arrange
ment Of pantry, with pass.way to the
sldeboard. On the opposite side of the
kitchen Is bathroom and lavatory.
The second story contains four large
bed rooms, a sewing room and store
room. All have com modious closets,
with clothes presses and many little
conveniences IN any household. A
neat marble lavatory in a niche In the
upper hallway is unique convenience
and an original idea. All the trim
mings are In antique copper, which set
of the doors and windows 10 excellent
advantage, and lend richness becom-
lug to the surroundings. The entire
house, even the attic and some OF the
closets, are well lighted and ventilated
The large attic affords the children q
commodlous play room, aside from
furnishing storing facilities.
Ia the past two yeaIs Messrs. Har-
rid q Ollinger have built three of the
best residences in Salem, viz: the DIR.
Porte house, the Judge Murphy house

DENTON ATTACKS ATHLETICS
His Subject Last Evening. Athletics
Gone to Seed"

AS had been previously announced
through THE JOURNAL Rev. II, A.
Denton, pastor of the First Christian
church, last evening delivered ser
mon on "Athletics Gone to Seed"
The speaker was greeted with a good
audience and after the usual prepara-
tory services read as O scripture lesson
Judges 10, 20 81 relating the story
Sampson's destruction Of the temple.
His subject was chosen from the first
verse of the scripture lesson. The
speaker referred to Sampson as the
athletic of athletics--the strongest
man ever known IN the worlds history
and described his qualities as such.
Before proceeding with the discourse
Rey. Denton wished 1t understood that
he was not wholly opposed to athletics.
Toe physical development Of the body
should commence at the cradle, AS II
has an Influence on the soul. The
happier he was. 1t was not 30 much
ie physical development hs was get
ing after as those who made athletics
professional business. Foot ball and
base ball games, pole vauiting and big
jumps did not tend t. develop the body
physically but was strain on the
whole system. R9v. Denton spoke OF
the best men from college being chosen
and formed into foot ball and base ball
teams for the purpose of travelling
throughout the country for sport
their only object being to defeat their
opponents-not for the physical de-
velopment Of the body. Not only the
boys but the girls should also have
exercise. II such was the case there
would not be 81 many sick, puny girls.
Athletes intending to become prize
lighters had not the right object in
view. Expert wheelmen are always
endeavoring to beat q successful COM
petitor. Prize fights are being done
away with. Professional athletics 90
hand In hand With gambling, fast
women and finally leads to hell. The
condition of down fallen puglllsts Is au
example to professional athletics. r..
% a professional athletic for sport is
athletics gone to seed. = ,mpson's
downfall was due to the sam. cause
The speaker related the story Of Samp
1In's marriage In plain forc,bit
manner. Rev. Denton scarcely touched
he bloomer question except to say
thAt the "giddV" of some women to
dJn the apparel of the male sex would
have entirely disappeared from the
peoples minds within 25 years.

named they supplied all the plans, and
each OF the buildings Is a gem In lts
way, and the work all done In hrstclass
shape. The firm IL now engaged on q
large contract at Rosebu'g, where un-
der Mr.. Ollinger's charge force OF
Salem mechanics are getting the bene-
ut Of this firms enterprise and repu-
tation for good work.
Mr.. Rineman, who is known to
everybody rs a pushing business man,
and as proprietor Of the famous "Fruit
Palace" grocery business on State
street, is to be congratulated upon the
acquisition Of this magnificent new
home for his family. He has worked
hard and increasingly, overcoming
many obstacles that would have
baffled man of less energy and ac-
tivity, and for this reason alone must
doubly appreciate tho fruit of his
labors. II is home Of which he can
be proud rs long as he lives. Mr.. Rlne-
man came to Salem six years ago and
commenced his now fiourishlng busl
ness at his present stand, which was
then considered too far from the busl.
ness centre, but today II is the heart of
bssy trading street. His good judg.
ment in selecting a location, coupled
with the facuthat he thoroughly under
stands his business, has been crowned
with the richest success 10 his efforts.
As evidence OF this be has been com.
pelled to double the capacity OF his
store b. building large addition and |
adding other facilities for the better
handling Of his growing trade.
