Resolutions OF Respect.

At special meeting of st. Fidelis
Branch, No. ll9, Catholic Knights 81
America, held Monday evening June IL
1897, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, il has pleased Almighty God
in His infinite wisdom To call from oul
midst our worthy brother, Sir Knight
JOSEPH NJ. FRIEDMAN, while we bow IN
humble submission TO the will of Hin
that giveth and taketh away, we realize
with profound sorrow the loss our Branch
sustained in the death of Jos. Nj. FRIED
MAN, who was ever true To his principles
and always actuated by a sense of right
doing. In the death of brother FRIED
MAN the community lost an honorable
and upright citizen, one who would al
ways lend helping hand topoverty and
distress. Therefore be il
Resolved, that we deeply sympathize
with his bereaved parents, sisters and
brother, who knew so much better his
many virtues and loving deeds which
his hand and benevolent heart moved
him to do, and we hope that God in His
infinite love and mercy will help them
bear up under this great affiiction which
has saddened their hearts and darkened
their homes, remembering that God,
who will temper the wind to the shorn
lamb, will never forsake-but love and
care for them to the end.
Resolved, that in the death of JOSEPH
NJ. FREEDMAN this Branch lost one of its
most worthy members, who has become
endeared to us during the time he was a
member.
Resolved that we attend his funeral in
a body, and Grape our hall in his mem
DRY for thirty days
Resolved, that the secretary be direct
ed to send to the parents of the deceased
an engrossed copy OF these resolutions,
and furnish each OF the Jasper and
Huntingburg papers copy, with the re
quest that they publish the same in their
respective papers. Respectfully sub
mitted,

The Hon. T. z. O'Connor gives
many reasons why he and other
Irishmen should refuse to partici-
pate in the festivities now in progress
this week in London. He says that
while England has advanced in ma
terial prosperity that the decline in
Ireland during the Victorian era
has been appalling. England's
population has increased 20 per
cent. while Ireland's has decreased
AZ per cent. Fifty years ago there
were only fifty-two paupers per
thousand Ia Ireland and forty-nine
in England. Now the ratio has
risen in Ireland to ninety-fve, while
it has decreased in England to twen-
ty-six. The population has de-
creased in Ireland almost one-half,
and the taxation per capita is
double what it was fifty years ago,
while in England it is not one half
what it was half century ago.
If this appalling arraignment is the
result Of English rule in Ireland one
ceases to wonder why the Irish
heart should feel very frosty to-day
in the streets Of London. Ind.

Brief Authority.

A brook once, pulled up by sudden
shower,
Imagined that he had rivers power,
And roughly dealt with neighbor vines
and trees
His Oldest friends, that he had loved TO
please;
To them he used to sing his songs OF
praise.
Passing their doors upon his woodland
ways;
But after falling to his former size,
He looked too mean foEthem to recog-
nize.
And so it is with some, when lifted high
To brief authority which passes by.

A Judicious Investment.

An Anderson correspondent Of
the Indianapolis Sentinel shows
what proper management by a
municipal corporation can accom-
plish with public necessities. 1t
says: Anderson took the initial
step last evening toward securing a
gas plant and also the Commercial
lighting plant. The water works
is already owned by the city and
not only produces revenue sufiicien,
to meet all operating expenses, bu,
pays enough to care for its bonds
and at the same time give the peo-
pie the cheapest water service in
the country. 1t is now proposed tc
purchase the Commercial light
plant and operate it in connection
with the street lighting plant al.
ready owned. A committee ha.
been appointed by the city council
to investigate and report at the
earliest possible moment.

THE IMPRISONED WHALERs.
Little Prospect That the Six Vessels Will Es-

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 27.-Out OF a fleet OF ten
Pacific coast vessels engaged in whaling in the
Arctic Sea but four will this year escape from
the ice. The other steamers. the Orca. Bclvc.
dere, Fearless, steam tender Jeannic. the
schooner Rosario, and one other sailing vessel.
name unknown. are now nipped fast to the east
Of Point Barrow. This news is brought from
the far north by Missionary Gambell and his
wife. who left ST. Lawrence Island by one OF the
United States revenue cutters on Sept. 26.
1t is the Alexander which brings the news OF
the i'll fate that has ovcrtakcn the greater por.
ton of the whaling fleet. The lucky vessels that
managed to force their way through the ice
were: The Alexander. with a catch of ninc
whales; tho steamer William Bayliss, with
eleven; the steamer kariuk, with seven. and the
steamer Jcunncttc. with ten.
The Alexander mad a narrow, escape from be-
ing caught with the ships. The Captain says
the vessel buckcd for three days and it was by
the most tremendous effort that she got free.
then. as the huge cakes looscned. the ship was
lowed behind and fastened to the field astcrn.
Then the ship would rush at the ice in front and
break n little further into it.
So terrible was the shock of the impact be-
tween vessel and ice on each charge that Capt.
Tilton could not remain ,aloft. where he had
gone to look outside. The hunks of the men were
knocked from their fastenings by the shocks.
The unfortunate six ships still fast in the ice
there is little hope for them Az The ice IN may rsS at
any time crush them with their cnrgocs. How
ever. the crews will in all probability be saved.
Otherwise the loss OF life would tie friGntful, for
each vessel carries u crew Of from forty TO sixty
men.

make their way to al ore over the ice and SO lind
shelter in the Eskimo settlements. They will
have to make their winter fare on seal flesh and
blubber. like the natives, for all the vessels are

CORNER ON FOOD AT DAWSON.
About One Hundred Minc Owners Control the
Situation.

TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 21.-Fred c. Woolsey,
just arrived, is the latest man from Dawson
City. which place he left on Sept. IS. He says
the situation at Dawson is very serious. He de-
clares that it will be impossible for men to get
In with provisions over the snow and ice, using
either horses or dogs.
Neither animals nor men can carry enough
food in winter for tho trip Of $50 miles from
tidewater to Dawson. His party coming out
could not carry enough food for the trip. and
rcplenished their supply at Indian villages
and at Dalton Post on the Dalton trail.
Though starting with all the feed the
horses could carry. several horses died
of starvation en- route because the snow
had covered the grass. making grazing impossf.
BILE. In Woolscy's opinion much suffering will
confront 1000 of the 5000 men who will winter
at Dawson. These 1900 have very little food,
and consequently cannot get work. He does not
think they will starve, yet many will likely die
in the spring of disease brought on by their pri-
vations.
Woolsey says that the foundation Of the pres
ent bad situation was laid in Juno last. when
about 100 rich claim owners went to Dawson
following their big clcanups and ordered great
quantities Of supplies, paying for them on the
spot. Their la-ge orders were accepted
on the plea that they intended to work
Aoiko huAioSio Va iiNh thtS INV oIt
must provide for them. Woolsey says these
rich miners were simply looking out for thrm-
selves. Some Of them were permitted to pur-
chase ten tons OF grub each. These supplies
remained in the warehouses when Woolsey left,
subject to the orders Of the purchasers.
They could not be taken to the mines
slchging possible. Accordin to Woolscy, about
100 men ontrol the labor market through their
corner on grub. They can supply about 1900
men with working rations. Before he left they
were very independent in their attitude toward
men who begged them for an opportunity to
buy some OF their food. I'VE cannot sell. but you
can work for u.s. they would reply. They had set
wages at 81 per hour. which means 81 per day on
an average when the winter weather is favor
able. Woolscy says the men expected to get SIS
to $50 per day this winter. Now. because they
their board, and some miners have had sharp
words with the foo monopolists and have re-
fused to submit to their conditions. They will
take their guns and hunt reindeer and moose
on the ranges. But many cannot do this for
lack of gu 5.
1t is believed at Dawson that the trading COM
panies have gotten themselves into trouble by
accepting gold for guaranteed orders which can
not be filled, because no steamers arrived. The
gold was shipped down river. and by this time
the miners are demanding grub or their money
back, while the stores have neither.
The men who rushed in this fall, Woolsey
keep themselves and consequently cannot re.
lieve the situation. Miners cannot get out for
same reason that food cannot ct in. though
some more will arrive ovcrl md. There are
already several bad cases of scurvy at Dawson
and q new hospital has been opened.

Other nleoueata.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-The will OF tho late George
NJ. Pullman was filed In the Probate Court to-
dny. Although many persons acquainted with
MI tullman expected no would make only n
nlodest provision for his twin sons, George NJ.
ana sanger Pullman, 1t was generally thought
that they would be put on probation for q term
OF years enjoying only an annuity, and that
they would receive eventually handsome inhcri-
tances, such was not the en-. @. The will, which
disposos OF an estate Of $1,000 900. provides
that after satisfying the requests to the widow
and daughters, two portions are to BIO set aside,
each OF which shall yield an annual income Of
$1,000. This income 10 to DO given to the sons
Tor life. and to revert to the issue OF the sons. IL
there be any; IL not, then tho trust funds become
n part OF the residuary estate. No other pro-
vision Is made for the sons.
To tho widow. Harriet Sanger Pullman. go
tho family mansion. furniture, horses and car
riages, which are said to have cost far In excess
of n million; $4,000 the first year, and there
after the income from n trust fund of 81 100000.
To each Of tho daughters. Florence Pullman
Lowden and Harriet Pullman Carolan, the in
come Of $1,000 900 is bcoueathod, and when
each reaches tho age OF 80 onc-half OF tho mil
lion will become hers absolutely.
Florence gots the beautiful summer home.
Castle Rest" in the Thousand Islands, and
the income of $4oo 600 to maintain It. Four
brothers and sisters got 100000 each, and tho
wife of a brother gets $25, 600.
Thirteen hospitals and charitable institutions
Of Chicago will receive $4,000 each. Mr.. Pull
man also bequeathed 5000 oOo for the erection
Of buildings and 81, 900, 900 for endowment OF a
free manual training school in the town OF Pull
man. Every servant in the Pullman household
was remembered in sums Of from $4,000 down
to $3.50, according to length of service and
faithfulness.
Norman Bream and Robert T. Lincoln are
executors OF tho will, which was witnessed by
Thomas II. Wyckes and John 8. Runnels. The
estate, though the largest ever probated in this
county, was only about one.fourth the size esti.
mated by many.
