A New Creature

A Scotch girl was converted under
the preaching of Whitfield. When
asked if her heart was changed, her
true and beautiful answer was:
IS m9thing l know is changed; it
may be the world, it may be my heart;
there is a great change somewhere,
I'm sure, for everything is different
from what it once was"
"How wonderfully" says an ancient
writer, "Goes the newborn soul differ
from his former self! He liveth q new

age being sc years, z months and 6

I6 years, l month and seven days.
During this time she had united her
self with the church OF Christ at Mill
Greek, under the ministry of Elder ].

sist8nt member, always ready to ad-
minister to the wants of the untortn-
nate and dis treseed.
During the late war between the
States, while her husband was in the
Fervice as soldier, she was left in charge
pf the home, to care for it, which she
did with much skill and good judg
ment.
Although she was not the mother Of
Rny living children, she was vigilant
Rnd Watchful in the care of her domes-
TIC affairs. She leaves a husband,
who was a veteran Of the late war.
Although this impaired his muscular
usefulness, he has been successful and
good provider for his household.
However, he is somewhat on the decline
II life, but he hopes to meet his dear
Pne on the portals OF that golden shore,
where ali is bliss and happiness.

And far beyond the taking and the

PLACES IN STATE DEPARTMENT.
Judge Day Selected for Assistant
SccrcfnrN of Sfnfc.


WASHINGTON, April 23-President Nc
Kinley has decided to nominate William r..
Day of Canton, o., to be first assistant secre-
tary Of state and ex-Representative Bellamy
storer of Cincinnati to be minister to Bel
GUM. These nominations were to have
been sent to the senate today, but owing to
that body's adjournment over until Monday,
will not go in until next week.
The filing of the office of first assistant
to Secretary sherman ends a yexatious
problem that has bothered the president con-
siderably. MIR. Storer was slated originally
for this appointment, but the nomination was
opposed strenuoLsly by Senator Foraker and
other well known Ohio republicans, who
protested against 1t on personal and party
grounds.
Judge Day, who will be named to succeed
Mr.. Rockhill as assistant secretary of state,
is said to be a fine lawyer and his name has
been mentioned frequently for solicitor gen.
eral. He and the president are on close
terms of intimacy, and at the personal re-
quest of the president he recently began an
inquiry as to the facts concerning the death
of DR.. Ruiz, an American dentist. in a
Spanish prison, preliminary to a visit to
Cuba, where he will attend, in a legal
capacity, the investigation by the Spanish
authorities into allegations that DR.. Ruiz vas
murdered.
Bellamy Storer is a native of Cincinnati,
where he was born in 1S47 and has lived
since his graduation from Harvard in 1857.
He is a practicing attorney and was first
elected to the Fifty second congress, serving
on the foreign affairs committee and taking
a prominent part in debates on diplomatic
questions, and also on interstate
legislative problems. The post he will get
is one which was sought by ex-Representative
Aldrich of Chicago.
Judge William r, Day has twice resigned
from judicial positions. He was elected to
the common pleas bench and appointed
United States district judge at Cleveland.
From both of these positions he retired to
resume his law practice. He has declined
other high offices. He ranks among the very
first of Ohio lawyers. He IS a son Of the
late distinguished supreme court officer,
Judge Rufus Day, and came from Ravenna,
o.. to Cantor over twenty years ago, where
he married Mary Schaffer, a daughter of
the late Louis Schaffer. Though holding
no official position no one was more thor
oughly in the confidence of Mr.. Mckinley
or more active in important work during
the recent campaign than Judge Day. He is
a quick-witted orator, a graduate of the
University of Michigan and a man of keen
Intelligence and polished manners. The
Day residence in Canton is but three doors
from the famous Mckinley home, and Judge
and Mrs. Day have been almost lifelong
friends Of the McKInleyS.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The republican
senator's In caucus today decided to accept
the proposition made by the opposition for
the filling of the senate committees, leav-
ing tho arrangement Of the details to Sena-
tor McMillan's committee. The caucus also
considered the question tof filling the
elective offices of the senate and the manag-
ing committee was authorized to negotiate
with the opposition to the end of securing a
division of these places. Both the secretary
and the sergeant-at-arms Of the senate are
democrats and the republicans think they
should be allowed to name'a man to NIL one
Of these places. The negotiation will be
left to a subcommittee consisting Of Messrs.
Mcmillan, Lodge and Spooher.

Senator's Allison, Mcmillan, Lodge and
Spooner and in opposition by Senators Chand-
Ter, Wolcott and Proctor. The only new

Gated acceptance. The vacancies In the

BEAR 1MBIBEs TOO MUCH LIQUOR
Makes Things Lively for Several Men
Who l~nppene1 In.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-Three men
had an encounter with a drunken bear
Yesterday and received mementoes of the
meeting Which they will keep for some time.
Michael Rooney, proprietor of the st. Louis
hotel, Pacific street, is the owner of two
small black bears that a friend sent him
from Alaska. Apparently life at the sailor
boarding house has demoralized them, for
both have acquired an unquenchable thirst
for porter. Steam beer has few charms for
them. while the harder liquors are left
severely alone.
Yesterday the bruins thirst was still I'M
satisfied WREN George McColyan and Will
liam Richie. 'longshoremen, went into
Rooney's place and proceeded to have some
fun with the bears. In some manner the
chain by which one was fastened became
unlocked. The brute made a dash at Nc
Colyan, and with one blow of its paw
knocked him down. Richie went to his
chum's assistance, but a cuff on the ear
made him retreat and the bear again turned
to McColyan, digging his claws into the
mans face and breast and biting him
viciously. McColyan's screams brought the
cook, Barney Britain, to the rescue, but the
bear. now thoroughly aroused, attacked him
furiously, severely decorating his face and
arms. 1t was only when Rooney appeared
that the bear ceased hostilities, being
effectually sobered with a club. McColyan
and Britain had their injuries dressed by a
surgeon.

an arm broken, his wife was rendered I'M
conscious and was severely bruised, and the
little daughter of J. C. Chandler was slightly
hurt, The storm apparently spent itself a
short way outside of Newton and wrought
no further damage.
The storm lasted only fifteen minutes. 1t
came from the southwest and was preceded
by a heavy rainfall and was followed by a
terrific hail storm. Its path was a mile ana
a half long and 100 yards wide. 1t struck
william Apsley's residence, situated one

in the exposed side Of buildings for a distance
of a couple of miles. The stones were
extremely large and banked up in big piles.
Every skylight in town was demolished ana
much damage will result to merchants
stocks. Railway trains coming into Newton
lost every pane of glass in the south windows
The passengers were badly frightened, put
none were hurt.
MANY cattle were killed and whole orchards
and groves were uprooted. The damage to
fruit in the immediate vicinity Of Newton
will be great. 1t is not thought that the
storm was Of great extent, although definite
reports have not been received from sur
rounding towns.
