Funeral Of Joseph Parsons.

We mentioned in our last issue the
death of Mr.. Jos. Parsons, father of
our townsman, j. F. Parsons, who has
returned from paying the last mark of
respect to a kind parent. Mr.. Parsons
has received many kind expressions of
sympathy from our citizens. The
Lock Haven Republican says:
"Alderman Joseph Parsons, one Of
the Oldest citizens Of Lock Haven, died
Thursday morning at $50 o'clock at
his residence on Water street. He is
survived by two daughters, Mrs. Mary
E. Garfield and Mrs. Georgia Deitrick,
and four sons, John F., of Emporium ;

F., all of this city.
Deceased was born at Wolemsdorf,
February 18th, 1917, and was conse-
quently aged 81 years / month and 5
days.
He was engaged in his early life as
superintendent and contractor in the
construction of the state canals, in
building dams and schutes. In 1868 or
GA he came to Lock Haven where he
has since resided. He was a great
student and man of more than ordi-
nary intelligence, well informed on
current events as well as havinga COM
plete knowledge of general history.
Alderman Parsons was highly es-
teemed by all who knew him. At the
time of his death he was serving his
fifth consecutive term as Alderman of
the Second ward.

According to the expectation of all
concerned the Steamer Regulator
was successfully launched yesterday
afternoon and put into the mouth of the
locke. In launching the boat, however,
a piece of one Of the ways was forced
| through the bottom of the craft and
alter launching the water poured into
the hull rapidly and soon the vessel
was laying on her side in a rather bad
condition. The managers of the D. P.
and A. line have sent for $50 more bar
reis and after placing them in her hold
hope to be able to successfully float the
craft to Portland. The most difficult
part of the whole matter will be taking
the boat through the swift water below
the locks; this will not be attempted,
however, until it is put in shape so that
there will be little danger of any further
accidents.

Before the appointed time arrived, how
ever, the Noouday company filed stay
bond with the sheriff, and took an ap-
peal to the supreme court, the sheriff
relying upon the stay bond and refusing
to sell the property as advertised. The
sheriff's disregard of a stay bond made
him liable to suit for damages brought

personal property, and Ia not subject to

Shortly after Sheriff Kelly stepped in

OFFENSIVE PARTISANSHIP

The last convention of the Republicans
Of Los Angeles county adopted, without
division, resolution condemning the
participation in active politics of public
servants. 1t declared that county and
township officers should not aspire to
seats in the conventions of the party.
1t was. in fact, reiteration of the Cleve-
land doctrine of offensive partisanship
-partisanship being offensive when it
becomes self-seeking. But, as was an
parent at the time, the action was taken
only for the purpose of placating the
small yet influential element in the
party that stands for an outward show
OF morality and decency at least. The
bosses did not take it seriously, and In

SLAP THAT FIGURES IN HISTORY

It has come to be pretty we'll understood
that there is an old feud between Commo-
dore Schley and Rear Admiral Sampson,
the two naval officers just now making his
tory for themselves and for the country.
When Schley was an ensign he was on
board ship with Sampson. then a lieuten-
ant, and a difficulty occurred between
them, and ever since grudge has ranked
in the breast of Sampson. The difficulty,
years and years ago, originated In this way
One day Sampson missed some bananas
which he had hung up in the ship to ripen.
He was very angry over the loss Of the
fruit and tried to find the thief Finally he
came to the conclusion that a certain ma
rine was the culprit and sent for him. The
marine replied Indignantly that he had not
seen the bananas, and that he was no thief.
This Infatuated Sampson, who said: II
will punish you for lying as we'll as steal
ing! Sampson sent for the druggist and
gave the poor marine an immense dose Of
ipecac.
Schley was ashore at the time, but when
he returned he saw the marine suffering.
Schley asked Sampson who had admins
tered the powerful drug that had caused
the suffering Of the sailor.
Sampson told the whole incident. The
matter SO incensed Schley that he ex-
claimed: mo gentleman would treat poor
marine that way!
And schley, following the exclamat ion
slapped Sampson In the face
Then scene followed. Sampson de-
manded satisfaction.
Schley reminded him that It was against
the regulations for naval officers to receive
or send challenges to fight duel, but add
ed: THAT need not prevent you getting
satisfaction, sir. We can both resiKu to-
day and then fight 1t out"
Sampson did not resign, did not see sat-
isfaction. and the matter apparently
dropped there. But 1t appears that Samp-
son has never forgotten the episode and
the sting of Sohley's slap is still felt,

GROUNDLESs FEARS

The papal nuncio at Madrid Is said
to have yesterday assured Sagasta that
the Vatican had nothing to fear while
the Philippines remained under the SOW
ereignty Of Spain, but that he could
not answer for the treatment Of the
religious orders in territory occupied by
the natives or Americans"
The nuncio has studied history to lit
tie purpose II he apprehends that Ameri-
cans are not to be relied upon to treat
all classes with uniform fairness, regard
less of religious conditions. This coun-
try, we had supposed. enjoys something
of reputation as a land of religious
liberty, an asylum for the oppressed of
all nations"
1t has not been many days since the
pope appealed to Governor Merritt to pro-
tect certain clericals on the island, who
were threatened with violence by the
subjects Of Spain.
