OBITUARY.
CALVIN THOMPSON.
ment.

Calvin Thompson, widely known and
highly respected farmer living near
Basking Ridge, departed this life on
Good Friday. Mr.. Thompson was the
son of Luther Thompson and Ruhamah
,Chedister, his wife. Luther Thompson
died in 1875, aged 95 years. Mrs. Mar
garet Thompson, the wife of Calvin
Thompson, died in September, 1895.
Five children are left Anna, wife of
Charles B. Durham; Amy, wife of Louis
D. Reynolds; Miss Kate, who is living at
the homestead; ex-senator L. A. Thomp-
son, who is now Clerk in Chancery, and
Joseph w. Thompson, who is engaged in
the insurance business in New York.
Another daughter, Miss Fannie, died in
1890.
The services were presided over by
Rev. E. G.. Mason, of Basking Ridge.
DR.. ]. G. Rankin, who for fifty years was
Mr.. Thompson's pastor, at the urgent re-
quest of Mr.. Mason, spoke, principally
of Mr.. Thompson's church work and of
his association with him therein. Mr..
Thompson was an elder of the Presby-
terrain church at Basking Ridge for thirty
years, and also served the Sunday school
of the church as superintendent for
twenty years.
His figure was familiar one in Nor
ristown, where he had large circle of
friends. His health had not been of the
best for some time past, but his condition
was not deemed serious by his family
until few minutes before death, which
resulted from heart failure.
JASON EVANS.
Great regret is expressed on every side
at the death of Jason Evans, only son of
Benjamin F. Evans of Madison avenue,
which occurred at Pasadena, CAL, last
Monday. Mr.. Evans had returned from
Pasadena only last week, leaving his son
in his usual health which makes the
shock all the greater as his sons death
was so unexpected.
CHARLOTTE CORNISH HOWELL.
The sad intelligence was received by
wire this morning of the death of Mrs.
Charlotte Cornish Howell, wife of Geo.
W. Howell of this city, which occurred
at the residence of her daughter, Mrs.
Young, in Providence, Rhode Island.
Mrs. Howell had been seriously ill some
time, and at the time of her decease her
husband, daughter Miss Charlotte and
Mrs. Edward Howell were present.
Death was the result of a complication
of diseases. Mrs. Howell was born at
Cooperstown, N. Y, and was about 81
years of age. She was married in 1868.
The funeral services will be held from
her late residence No. % Early street.
at 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon.

For example, the Editor of the CHRoN-
ICLE and some of his friends, on their
way home about midnight on Saturday,
saw the beginning of what was most
shameful orgie. An intoxicated man had
for his companions in wagon two colored
women. They drove past Police Head
quarters, along the Park, and up Wash
ington street at breakneck pace, the wo-
men screaming all the while. They
turned near the Court House, and drove
back down the lane by the old Masonic
Hall. 1t was thought then that they
were taking the rig to a livery stable.
We have since found out that they were
in that lane for the best part of an hour
Loud swearing, screaming, and cries of
Murder, ""You are choking me, ;" ming
led with indecent language, woke up the
neighborhood, but did not disturb the
police. One gentleman got out of bed
and, leaving his frightened wife in
the house, went to look for a policeman.
When one was at last found, he said it
was about time for him to go off duty,
but he would send the officer who would
relieve him. By the time that man ar
rived the parties had driven away.
Our police force needs shaking up.

TAKE HIS FLINDERS OFF.

There appeared in the .Jerseymdn of
last week an article inspired by the City
Marshal, in which it is made to appear
that the Editor of the CHRONICLE refused
to give information in his possession re-
garding the whereabouts of certain gamb-
ling houses, and thus failed to do ..the
first duty of good citizen, to aid in the
enforcement of the law
We refused the Marshal information;
that is true. But we think that Chief
of Police of SO many years experience
who is unable to find the location of po-
ker joints, either in person or through
his officers. is not likely to be able to sup
press them when told where they are.
They are not at all scarce in town. The
two we mentioned shifted their quarters
Immediately after publication of the
statement in the CHRONICLE regarding
them, and they are now carrying on
business in their new rooms. Another,
started since we made the statement that
has so stirred up the Marshal, came to
grief on account of the proprietor going
on prolonged spree.
If the Marshal were to show little of
the zeal displayed by Theodore Roose-
welt when he was Police Commissioner
in New York, and even occasionally went
out after bedtime with his official blind
ers off, he would not be appealing to
newspaper editors for information as to
the matters it most concerns policeman
to know.

William Waldorf Astor has trodden on the pet corn of the British by building a high wall round Cliveden and shutting out the public from all access to the park, gardens and house The liberty granted or the courtesy shown for centuries is taken away The London Chronicle, referring to the old principle of English law, "Once highway, always a highway" says: Under ordinary circumstances, there is no wish to press the maxim, but, when we see so gross violation of the ordinary rules of courtesy of English life, we may fairly take advantage of the law intended to keep the enjoy ment and right of way on English soil open forever to Englishmen, ard give a lesson to wealthy strangers, who would not dare to strain the rights of property in their own countries" Mir. Astor may find English life has it's unpleasantnesses, too.

matter off, and to make their mortu- ary comfortable at a hotel. He was already provided with a sword cane, but she seemed to have a preference for revolver. They went out after what was to have been their last din- ner, and purchased the weapon, which, in the privacy of their apartment. he presently proceeded to misuse. He took, that is to say, a pot shot at her dimpled chin. As sine did not die, he came little closer and fired again. This time he grazed her damask cheek Satisfied that all was over now, he shot himself in the mouth. No fatal result followed, and she, not unnat- urally, made remark, whereupon he proposed to begin all over again, with the sword cane. But she had had enough, and very properly rang the bell, and had them both taken to the hospital. In due course he came be- fore the assize court, and was, also in due course, acquitted. Then, the unusual thing happened. She sued him civilly for damages, and the same jury gave her 9S0 directly. Thus, while they acquitted him of the murder, they substantially mulcted him for failing to commit it.

If it be true, as the esteemed Ga zette states, that Governor Franklin has not been to New York in over ten years," we can only say that it is the ex-governor's loss. It is recalled however, that neither the Gazette nor any of the Franklin administration da- nied the report at the time, that the governor had gone to New York to sell bonds. So little is really known of the bond transactions of that ad- ministration and the expense ac- counts of some of it's members that a certain amount of conjecture must enter into any statement regarding these matters. In commenting on Governor McCord's first half year in office we only sought to state the facts without refiecting on any one. If the comparison was odious it was not the fault of The Republican. The Ga zette and ex-Governor Franklin may be consoled by the assurance that should any future six months of the present administration be reviewed by this paper the plain truth will be told whether the comparisons made be complimentary to Governor McCord or not.

The Globe Silver Belt is now after the capitol building bill and says in substance in late issue that it is devoutly to be wished that the bill may be defeated and the capitol lost to Phoenix altogether. We must inform the Silver Belt that wishing" for something was never known to ac- complish it. If it did, the readers of such anarchistic teaching would be wishing that some one would h.t the Silver Belt with telegraph pole It becomes daily more manifest that the most creditable act of the Seven teenth legislature was refusing to pass a little job for the relief of the pub fishers of that paper.

The failure of the anti-Hanna men at Columbus to make any of their bri- bery charges stick as to Hanna or his authorized agents was not uneXpect- ed. There is a deep suspicion that the man Boyce, who is said to lave given $1,500 in cash for the vote Of MT. Otis, was in reality an anti-Hanna emissary, sent to Columbus for the purpose of laying a spacious founda- tion for poodle story. The Hanna
 managers now recoliect that during the campaign they received telegrams signed by Boyce of New York, saying that the sender believed he could se- cure several votes for Hanna and of fering to come on to Columbus No attention was paid to them, as Boyce

Famine and pesti1ence are raging in Russia again, on a scale far more serious than in India a year ago. Those who charged the Indian wees against the British government will please take notice. As for the scourges of Russia, there is 1ndisput- able evidence that they are largely the fault of the government in refusing cated and thus able to till their land better and improve their sanitary con dition. It insists that they shall re- main in ignorance and squalor, and the result is that they are now dying like flies in a frost.

The Gazette's Washington cores pondent is either a great humorist or else he has no regard for the truth In his letter of a week ago he stated that the appointment of Mayor Ad- ans as postmaster of Phoenix was due to the efforts of prominent Arizona republicans then in Washington. The letter published yesterday lays this ap- poihtment to the influence of Governor McCord and says that those same Ari- zona republicans opposed MT. Adams. People who fail to see any humor in this extraordinary situation will won der in which letter our contemporary s correspondent juggled with the truth. Those familiar with the Gazette's methods, however, will be forced to the conclusion that neither epistle was over burdened with facts.

FIT AND MISS CHAT.

Sometimes when the editor of newspaper is rebuked by a reader for some error or discrepancy in his pa per the news dispenser fortifies him. self by calling the attention of the dis satisfied person to the magnitude of the undertaking of publishing a pa per; to the skill, the care and brains required in the business. Another edi- tor will reflect on the importance of his position by sarcastically inviting the kicking subscribers to come and run the paper themselves, dilating the meantime on the little skill required to set type, write editorials, read proof and run the press-all a sort of side play, you know, to show the admir- able genius and skill of a newspaper editor. But I never realized how dan gerous this latter individual is to the profession and how little. skill it re- quires to publish paper till just the other day. A young man accosted me and enquired if there would be any chance for him to get work in the of fee that he might get in practice set ting type again. He was a sort of printer he said but more particularly writer. Did you ever know of a case" said he, "of man going into a printing office for the first time never having seen type, press or a proof sheet, and issuing paper with out assistance?" Such thing, of course, had never been heard Of But if ever felt any self esteem or undue importance of my calling it was all knocked out of me when he showed me copy of paper issued under the conditions he had named.
 ***
 He took a package from his pocket and began to unwrap. He unwound and unwound till finally the precious document was exposed and he careful ly unfolded for my inspection the first copy ever published of the American Incident" I believed he had told the truth. If he had given his solemn oath it would have no more firmly con- vinced me that he had never seen a type, press or the inside of a news paper office. Never before had I seen such contortions of types, leads, col umn rules and the English language. It seemed he was politician at that time and the "Incident' had been founded for the special purpose of de- lending his character against the charges of his political enemies. who it seemed had even threatened his life. MT. Mckinley was the governor of Ohio and this abused man had taken his troubles to the governor, who re- piled in a formal note of sympathy
 This note was published in the copy of the paper he exhibited and the sig nature was Mckinley" Proceeding to explain the he says the signature was genuine but that the governor writes so poorly that he could not make out his "sirname'' He said he would not take thousand dollars for the paper. This simply means he does not want to part with it. If it were mine l would value it more highly. It is precious document. You would only need to see it to realize it's value as curiosity.
 The parties had agreed to bring the

was not known The theory thai Boyce was a stool pigeon of the anti Hanna clique is further strengthened by the interview he has recently giv- en out in Montreal, in which he hints darkly at further developments, , speaks of protecting men high in authority and declares that he will speak when the time comes. The whole clumsy plot will doubtless be laid bare in good time.

It seems to have been the intention Indiana should sail on land as we'll as sea, but her machinery is so confused that she can do neither, and big sister of the squadron has to haul her around by the apron strings. However, this is not the first instance where New York has pulled Indiana out of the hole.
