THE SMYRNA TIMES.
,SnaT2'WU, DeI.,
Wednesday Afternoon, March 6, 1895
Lady Somerset in Wilmington.

Lady Somerset, of England, made an
address in the New Century Club, of
Wilmington, to one of the largest au-
diences of ladies that ever assembled
in that city. 1t was not known that
she was to make an address, taking
the place of Miss Frances E. Willard,
who was sick. The closing part of the
address was as follows:
"It has been asked how must women
regard the social question? She must
not sit with folded hands when the
world in which she is in is moving be-
fore her. Many say that woman takes
an exaggerated view. Some say that
being called fanatic. A man who
first gets a new idea is called a fanatic;
when more get the same idea an en-
thusiast, and when all have the same
| idea a hero.
1.-THE fanatics of to days reform are
to-morrow's heroes. To-day the pages
of history are filled with the names of
men who were called fanatics. They
are called heroes. The same will be
the future of the temperance cause.
That which is holding down the labor
ing classes is strong drink.
From this We are trying to fill the
world. Temperance is not the only
question. Look at the human beings
forced to live in dens and made TO la
Dor in sweat shops. The home should
be made more homelike There should
no longer be seen women with pale
faces caused by everlasting labor.
Woman should not only understand
the responsibility for her own little
ones, but for other children. Only
when we get the deep sense of sister
hood shall we receive the Divine en-
thusiasm. Remember the Salvation
Army how it was laughed at when i
first started, and the crowd that at
tended the funeral of Mrs. Booth, th,
mother of the army. So long as W.
sit contented while human beings are
starving and the saloon door is open
so long we have not fulfilled our o.li
cations.
v Another question is that of sociA
purity. Man should be made pure
When marriage is no longer a profes
sion for women, then it will be place.
on a higher level. Man should b
: held in deep regard, but man in tn
e past has not held such high regar
for women as we want. Persons hav
looked out and believed that there wa
another class of women made for tn
pleasure of man. So long as sue
l. women are believed tO be necessit
they have no right to be called d,

Perhaps you would not think so,
but very large proportion of diseases
in New York comes from carelessness
about catching cOld," says DR.. Cyrus
Edison. ut is such a simple thing and
so common that very few people, unless
It is case of pneumonia, pay any at
tention to a cold. There are a great
many cases of catarrh and consumption
which have their origin in this neglect
of the simple precaution Of everyday
life. The most sensible advice is, when
you have one, get rid of it as soon al
possible. By all means do not neglect
it," Dr. Edison does not tell you how
to cure a cold but we will. Take
Chamberlaip's Cough Remedy. 1t will
relieve the lungs, aid expectoration
open the secretions and soon effect
permanet cure. 25 snd soc bottles foj

THE LEGISLATIVE CONTEST. The
Democrats took the necessary steps in
the State Senate Thursday to keep
alive the proposed contest of the two
Senators from Sussex County, by
adopting resolution directing the
sheriff of that county to turn over to
the Senate the ballot boxes and tally
sheets of the late election. 1t is not
probable that the contest will take
place this session as the time for ad-
journment is rapidly approaching, and
if the Republicans should elect a ma
jority of Senators in 1896, it will never
take place. The contest, under all the
circumstances, seems to be on the
babyish order, to say the least.

VENEZUELAN COMMISSION.
Gossip About Its Formation and the
Work it will Have Be-
fore IT.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 23-In Off
cial circles there is the greatest reticence
as to the composition of the Venezuelan
commission. Chief Justice Fuller was
a caller at the state department. today,
which gave rise to gossip as to the prob
ability of his appointment. The feeling
is growing that the talk Of report by
next April was premature. as it is said
by men Of the standing of those who will
be Oh this commission would not consent
to rush through a case of this magnitude.
The understanding is that the headquar-
tiers of the commission will be at Wash
ington and that the main sessions will
be held here.
Contrary to the general impression it is
the belief in well-informed official circles
that the commission will go very thor
oughly into the British side of the ques-
ton, not combining itself to the eX-parte
case as presented by Venezuela. 1t is
said this can be accomplished without
direct participation of Great Britain in
the deliberations. There is no doubt Of
the refusal Of the British to make formal
recognition of the commission, nor
is it likely that the British view
of the subjec. will be yoluntari-
~ presented as evidence. But as q
matter of justice, and to save the COM
mission fro.a the imputation of having
looked at on.s one side of the case it is
believed that the United States will
take the initiative to secure from the
British foreign Office statement of the
British case.

FARMERS ARE NERVOUS.
Steps Taken to Secure Patents on Lands
Around KenOsha.

Kenosha, Wis, Dec. 24.-[Special.]-
An effort is now on foot to secure the
proper movement on the Washington
land office by the farmers of this county
to prevent, if possible, the working of
the schemes of land sharks now that the
fact Of the non-issuance of the patents
by the government to their lands has
been discovered. All the difficulty which
seems to have risen before the prosper
Gus farmers of today is the result of
wholesale carelessness Away back in
the early days when the land Office was
in Milwaukee and the land OF this Sec
ton was being taken up under the pre-
emption laws was when the mistakes
were made, which today will cost the
occupants of the various pieces of prop
erty without patent at least good
round sum to perfect their titles, if, in
fact they do not actually lose the land
and their homes.
1t seems that when the property was
pre-empted the land Office at Milwaukee
issued TO the pre-emptor a duplicate GER
tifcate. This certificate was in no sense
a conveyance, but more receipt for the
money paid in which specified the tract
of land upon which the money was paid.
In order to secure the patent all that
was necessary was to forward this GER
tificate to Washington and demand the
patent This was done in a few in
stances, but ID 4 majority of cases the
certificates were held or returned to the
land office. Such a return was made i'll
large number of instances and there
fore there is no record to show the right
of the party to the property. In many
instances these parties who could not
show title have gone on and improved
the land, built substantial buildings and
transferred the property to innocent pur-
chaserS. OF course. the abstracts when
made showed the absence of this link
i'll the straight chain, but the matter
seems to have excited no special interest
and was allowed to pass almost without
notice or comment
There is one large section of the coun-
ty where all these duplicate certificates
were returned and the opportunity is
wide open for some land shark to make
an enormous amount of trouble. Of
course, those who still have these certifi-
Gates or can find them of record can still
have the patents issued on them But
those who cannot show them are in a
Quandary to know what to do 1t may
be possible that they will have to per-
petuate testimony with reference to their
having been in peaceful possession for
many years and are therefore entitled
to the land by right of possession. This
would be a very expensive process and
in the smallest instances would cost over
$3.50.
tiyated farms in this section of country
are affected and some of the most valu-
able manufacturing sites in the city
come under the same extraordinary con-
ditions. 1t is making the farmers hustle
for protection from land sharkism with
greater than political activity. They
will undoubtedly secure an attorney In
Washington to look after the matter as
closely and as quickly as possible.

THREE MEN ROASTED.
Unknown Wanderers Make Their
Bed in a finder Box and
Are Cremated.

Ashland, Wis, Dec. 26.-[Special]-
The sawmill and planning mill of the
Sutherland Lumber company burned at
5 o'clock this morning. The total loss
is $4,000; insurance $4,000.
When the tiremen were at work they
took out a man badly burned, wan
derer who had evidently gone to sleep
in the boiler room He was half crazed
with pain and in his rawlings mentioned
partner. A search was made and the
charred remains of another man We're
found. When the coroner was about
20 put the remains in coffin the re-
mains of still another man were found
underneath the debris only partially
burned His face was burned so badly
that it was impossible to recognize the
features. There was a door within four
feet of where the two bodies were taken
out.
The three men had evidently gone to
sleep on the boiler and must have rolled
off in the seething mass of flames. The
survivor was so badly burned that he
will not live, one arm being burned en-
tirely off.
A coroner's inquest will be held this
afternoon. 1t is thought that the two
dead men are Bill and Jack Noonan,
who are said to be cousins of Jack Car
keek, the champion wrestler. 1t is sup
posed the fire originated in tine billing
room. The plant employs 100 men win

it got into the lumber pits, where a

he began business for himself at Lock
port, where he remained until 1874, when
he came to Milwaukee. Beginning with
a capital of $50, he opened a grocery
and provision store on East Water street,
and soon built up the most extensive bust
ness of its kind in the city, his trade
with the German immigrants being very
large. He frequently agreed to furnish
more goods during days business than
were in the store in the morning.
During the year 1914, Mr.. NewhaH
made his first visit to Prairieville, now
Waukesha. Teams then forded the riv-
er and people crossed on large stones ar
ranged for the purpose.
In 1850 Mr.. Newhall retired from the
provision business, bought the. Phillips
warehouse and began dealing in wheat.
The rapid growth Of his business necessi-
house in 1854, which at that time was
the largest in the Northwest. During
the same year he built the following
sailing vessels: D. o. Dickinson, Mil
waukee Belle, G. D. Norris, L. j. Far
we'll and the M. 8. Scott. These. with
the Lawrence, Speed and Robert Burns,
gave him what was known as the Badger
His ambition at that time was to start
a vessel load of wheat for Buffalo daily.
The year 1856 witnessed the build
ing by him of the Newhall house, costing
with its site $252,OOO. At that time 1t
was the largest hotel between Albany
and the Pacific coast. For years it was
the architectural pride Of the city.
Up to 1867 Mr.. Newhall was the lead
ing grain shipper of the Northwest, his
operations in wheat in Milwaukee and
Chicago and in gold and stocks in New
York, involved the use of millions. Sub
sequent business reverses, however, de-
prived him of a large fortune.
In 1913 he married Melissa M. Tenny
of Orwell, VT, who died in 1856, leaving
six children. The eldest, born in Orwell,
VT, married DR.. A. M. Helmer, now of
this city. The five younger children
were born in Milwaukee. OF the daugh-
tiers, Mr.. Charles L. Pierce of this city;
Mrs. J. M. Whaling of Chicago, and Mrs.
w. B. Douglass of Lockport, N. Y. sur
vive him, as does his sons, Daniel e. of
Buffalo, N. Y, and Arthur Z. of this
city.
Since 1874 Mr.. Newhall has resided
upon the old Hartford place at Woodside,
he having retired from active business.
During the summer season at Waukesha
he was in the habit of disposing of a
large quantity of milk daily from his
dairy at Woodside.
His second wife, who survives him,
was formerly Miss Roxana B. Tenny, q
sister of his first wife.
