Death Of DR.. Gleason's Father.

A few weeks ago DIR. Gleason's father,
Henry A. Gleason, Of Austin, Mimi, and
his wife came here to visit with the doc
tor and his family. Shortly before COM
ing he had accidently broken his arm.
He thought of remaining at home, but
concluded to come on and let his son
care for him. After reaching here he
seemed to be getting along well until
Tuesday evening when he was severely
attacked with heart trouble, something
that had bothered him occasionally for
many years, and died very suddenly and
unexpectedly Tuesday evening at 10
o'clock.
Henry A. Gleason was born in Berk-
shire county, Mass, October 10, 1922,
hence died Tuesday on his seventy fifth
birthday. He came to Princeton, Wis,
in 1855. In 1866 he moved to Blooming
Prairie, Mimi, and to Austin four years
ago In 1850 he was married to his pres
ent wife, Miss Jane Il. Hough Eight
! children were born to them, two daugh-
tiers dying when young. Those living
are DIR. G. w. Gleason, of this city, Mrs.
Laura NJ Moulton, Flushing, l.. l.; En-
erson j., Rock Rapids, Iowa; Mrs. Mar
ian l.. Burnham, Fred Il. and Mrs.
Lillian b. Harmeks of Austin, MINI.
About twenty years ago the deceased
was badly overcome with heat while
fighting fire, since which time he has
been occasionally badly afiicted with
heart trouble. His broken arm few
weeks ago seemed to aggrayate this
trouble.
The doctor accompanied his mother
with the remains to Austin, MINI, last
evening.

The Review Of Reviews: The
close of the century will have wit
messed the beginning Of a profound
change in the Industrial conditions Of
China and the adjacent parts of the
Orient. Besides the great trunk rail
roads that the Russians are to build in
the north of China, and the Chinese
lines that will be built by the Belgian
company recently chartered, it is an
nounced that the French government
has completed important arrangements
for the extension Of railroads from
Cochin China, the Tonquin region, well
into the adjacent Chinese provinces. On
the west the transcaspian lines are ap-
preaching Chinese territory, while rail
road building under English govern
mental auspices in the Malayan penin-
sula is progressing with much enter
prise, and new concessions have just
been Wrested from the Chinese govern
ment. Several million dollars is about
to be spent for constructing 200 miles
of road as an extension Of existing
lines. All this work in and about China
means the gradual opening up of an
enormous commerce with that rich and
productive empire.

Queer Place for a School

Miss Daisy Doud is the teacher of Il
school on the Farallone Islands, which
are part of the First Ward of the city
of San Francisco. There are four light
hOusekeepers on the islands, which are
rocky and rough, and Miss Doud
teaches the children OF the keepers.
There are ten little ones, and, says the
New York Tribune, Miss Doud's school
house is probably one of the Oldest in
the world. All kinds of sea birds live
upon the rocky island coast, and if Miss,
Doud's little ones are inclined TO the
study of natural history they will have
ample opportunity for the feathered
and filmed part of it. at any rate. Deep
sea fish and shellfish are in abundance
at the foot of the schoolhOuse, and the
spray sometimes dashes angrily up the
steep rocks and washes the windows OF
the SchOOlrOOm.

A special cable dispatch from Paris

A special cable dispatch from Paris
says that the Countess Of Ancaster has
publicly announced that dancing has
become a lost art" We are constrained
to believe that Lady Ancaster is in er-
ror. While it is true that the stately
minuet and the quadrille of another
generation have gone the way of all
earthly things, other dances which be-
long to a higher form Of art still hold
the center of the stage. Who was it a
few years ago that restored American
diplomacy in Paris to the lofty position
it once held: Il. Jefferson Coolidge.
And what means did he employ to win
that diplomatic triumph? Loie Fuller
and about a hundred yards of cheese
cloth. Certain forms of the dance have
disappeared, but others remain un-
changed and apparently Interchangeable.
The dance performed before Herod
when John the Baptist was beheaded
was the star attraction of the Midway
during the Worlds Fair. To-day it is
keeping the dime museum circuits busy
The cotillon has gone and the polka and
the schottische are going. But what of
that? The new dances make up in lati-
tude what the older ones have lost in
longitude. High art in the dance is no
longer measured by gracefulness and
genteel department. 1t is measured
with a yardstick and is entirely mat
ter Of altitude. The dance undoubted-
ly has degenerated. But so long as a
young woman of little grace and less
modesty can earn on the stage as a
dancer" larger salary than is paid to
