In the Best Interests of the Community in which
David Sexton Dead.

David Sexton, supposed to be about 92
years old, died on the evening of Sept.
9th, at the home of his son John, on
Main street "Old Davy" as he was fa-
miliarly called by old and young, was
born i'll the County Clare, Ireland, and
came to America over half century
ago, his wife coming over some years
later, joined him at Port Huron where
they resided. Over 40 years ago the
family moved to Brockway township,
settled on a farm now owned by Ed.
Sheehy. Davy was typical Irish
man, full of fun and jolly good nature,
and had a heart always brimming over
with kindness and sympathy for his
fellows. The writer of this obituary
was well acquainted with the old
gentleman for nearly 40 years, and
knows personally of many deeds of
kindness and neighborly sympathy that
would put to shame many who often
make louder profession of love to
God, and love to fellowman, and what
he done was always in the most un-
0stentatlous manner possible, desiring
rather that his left hand would not
know what his right was doing.
No doubt many will remember his
unique appearance at almost every
funeral in the neighborhOod, whether
catholic or protestant, the old gentle
man would always fetch up the rear,
mounted on his old sorrel mare, and on
such occasions, few could express SYM
pathy in looks more profound than our
old friend.
David died as he lived, a sincere
catholic, and the funeral took place
saturday morning, services being con-
Quoted at the chapel at Old Brockway,
by Fr. McCabe, of Port Huron, assisted
by FIR. Cullinane, of Yale.
The remains were laid to rest in Ke-
nockee cemetery.

double Yale's population and wealth
in the next ten years.

"What is dollar, anyhow" asked
one of our friends the other day. A
dollar is what some men promise to
pay for their paper. 1t is something
that a newspaper man eniovs more in
anticipation than in reality. 1t is the
price of days labor for some men
and the price of nights drunk for
others. 1t is what wife frequently
needs but seldom has. 1t is the power
that makes or unmakes man. 1t is the
hardest thing to get and the easiest
thing to get rid of known by mankind.
1t is a blessing in a measure and n
curse in many instances. 1t is a de-
fusion and snare and we are all chas-
ing the delusion.-Ex.

HNTI-SEMlTIC PREJUDICE.
Leopold CObn Calls the Presidents At
tentiOn TO oufraEes on jews.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The alleged anti
Semitic prejudice existing in this country
and displayed in steadily increasing list
of acts of violence toward the Jews in the
poorer quarters of Manhattan and Brooklyn
was made the subject of lengthy letter sent
on New Years day to President Mckinley
by Leopold Cohn, of Brooklyn. The writer
was once a Jewish rabbi but was converted
TO the Christian belief several years ago in
this city and joined the Baptist Church. He
is now conducting missionary work among
the people of his race and has charge Of the
interests of three missions. Mr.. Cohn in
his communication to the President states
that in the prosecution of his missionary
work he has had continually thrust upon
his notice the ever-increasing hatred dis
played in this city toward the Jew until
he has found it his imperative duty to sound
a note of warning. The letter continues:
Peaceful Jews walking the streets of this
city are habitually called by opprobrioug
epithets or arc loudly hooted and insulted,
as though they were mountebanks or Grim
inals, and when the threatening shout will
not attract response then the throwing of
mud and stones is reSorted to, and / re-
peat rot in an isolated instance but con-
stantly as the weeks pass and as a result
of which many have been injured, sometimes
seriously. When a street car passes
through the Jewish quarter hooting, hiss
ing and calling of names from its platforms
are customary incidents, and within these
public cars / have seen Jews pulled by the
beard and pushed from one man to another
ana back again like football, and in which
morse play the conductors themselves have
participated, and in some cases which | am
ready TO prove have crippled their victims
FOR life. a Jew with a push cart is every
where esteemed as a legitimate object TO be
mobbed and robbed. On one occasion saw
Jewish pedder with horse and wagon set
upon by a mob of large boys with stones
the man trying to protect himself by draw
ing his coat over his head. On running TO
his defense L was myself attacked On APP
peaing to group OF citizens and admitting
upon their questioning that the victim was
jew they laughed boistvrously. adding,
with evident sheer that / was myself of
the same deSpiSed race, and upon then APP
pealing to d policeman he coolly replied
very deliberately that the affair was not on
his beat. In the meantime with his head
bleeding, the peddler was driven from his
wagon and the wagon looted and over
turned. Another case similar except that
the wares were scattered about the street
though not stolen, occurred in front of the
boys high school, where young gentlemen
are prepared for college at public expense
largely paid from Jewish taxes The ag-
gressors were the students. and the teach
ers viewed the scene from the windows"

RAILWAY RECEIVERSHlPS.
Statement that Shows Effects of Pros
perity on Transportation Companies.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Nearly one-half of
the railroads in the hands of receivers at
the beginning of 1898 were taken from the
courts during the year, according to the
Railroad Gazette. On Jan. !, 1898, there
were 100 companies in the hands of receiv-
ers, owning u, 79S miles, or Z per cent. of the
entire mileage of the country, and operat-
ing $3.50 miles, or per cent. of the entire
mileage. The high-water mark of receiver
ships was reached in April, 1894, when there
were 210 roads, embracing 36619 miles, or 20
per cent. of the entire mileage of the cOun-
try in the hands of receivers. On Jan. J.
1896 there were some 81 600 or II per cent
of the mileage in the hands Of receivers
During the year 1898 of these 100 roads not
less than forty-nine, owning $3.50 miles, and
operating $3.50 miles have had their re-
ceivershIps closed In addition there have
been adGed eighteen roads during the year,
owning ], l32 miles, and operating ], 235 miles.
The net result is that on Jan. ], 1899, there
were eighty-nine roads in the hands of tire
courts, owning 1850 miles and operating TO-
795 miles. The mileage owned has dropped
to about 1-3 per cent. and the mileage OPP
Grated to about per cent. of the entire
mileage Of the country. The aggregate car
ital stock and funded debt under the courts
at the beginning of 1898 was $S1S, 2S6 677, or
about one-thirteenth Of the entire railroad
stock and bonds Of the country.
At the end Of the year the net aggregate
of securities in the hands of the courts was
SOS, 26l IA, or only one-tWentieth of the rail-
road values. With the Baltimore q Ohio
operating over 1000 miles: the Cape Fear &
Yadxin Valley, 1873 miles; the Columbus.
Hooking Valley & Toledo. 323 miles, and
other roads soon TO be taken from the
courts, it is not improbable that the end of
this coming year win see the railroad mile
age i'm the hands of receivers as low as ii
has ever been in the history of the country.
Prior to 1892 the lowest percentage was a
trihe over 4 per cent. which is about the
proportion that now prevails.

There are all extremes among the MEM
bers of the House. The tallest man and the
one who towers above all others is j. M.
HUFF, of Washington who stands not quite
six feet five inches tall The shortest man
is probably Mr.. c. NJ. Brown, of Auburn,
who is about five feet five inches tall.
Joseph Loree Cunningham is far and ahead
the heaviest man and has the most flesh.
His weight is 800 pounds For the honor of
thinnest man there are too many confess
tants to risk picking the winner. The young
est member is Milton +. McCarty, a student
from Burlington. who was twenty-four last
month, and the Oldest member is probably
Sasser Sullivan. of Petersburg, who is over
seventy. Fred Kimbley, the new principal
clerk Of the Houses, is particularly proud
Of the work he did at the last session when
he was engrossing clerk. He handled over
two thousand roll calls and all bills and
resolutions of the session without making
one error. Mr. De Haven, the assistant clerk,
is now holding his first political office. He
was a lawyer at KOkomo. Samuel Gibson,
the principal doOrkeeper, is not novice in
that position, as he was assistant doOrkeep-
er two years ago.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick, of KOkomo. is conceded
by all to have made the finest nominating
speech yesterday. He merely named his man
and the office and sat down.

force stormed the island on which Fedil
took up a position, and some severe fight
ing followed Eventually Fedil fled with
three hundred followers across the river,
where his force was dispersed by the Maxim
guns. On the British side Major Ferguson,

Mrs. Adams had brought me one glass,
in which / put the powder, and then she
got another glass to get the required half
goblet of water. | stirred it repeatedly three
or four times and she took it and drank il.
Mrs. Adams must have left above an inch
of the mixture in the glass, and as soon as
she had swallowed it made some such re-
mark as My, how bitter that is Then she
Immediately started to walk toward the
Kitchen. When she took the glass to drink
had reached for a paper which was on
the table beside me and when she made that
remark and put the glass down, said some
thing like Why, that's all right and
took the glass and tasted the mixture my
self, taking a good-sized swallow. There
was some delay in getting doctor. When
he arrived he did what he could for Mrs.
Adams, but in a short time she was dead.
