Brunswick i most honored and highly
respected citizens died yesterday
morning at o'clock, after an illness
extending over several years, but
which until the last few days. did not
develop into very serious form. He
has suffered for months aud months,
brought on by natural decline in
health and OF late months it would
not have been surprising to those
nearest TO him to have noted his rapid
decline at any time. He was man OF
remarkable will power and extraordi-
nary vitality, and these have served
him in good stead through years Of
suffering which have been borne
without a murmur and with never
failing manner that was cheerful and
accomplishing. His life in this COM
munity has been one that has endear-
ed him to everyone as a model OF
what gentleman should be and it
has been often and truly said that he
was one of the few "Old Time Gentle
men that was left -ts remind The
Younger generation Of the glories Of
the past when chivalry and honor
walked hand in hand with the young
manhood of this country and made the
southland known all over two oonti-
nents as possessing the truest and
noblest meR that lived and had their
being in this world
In Brunswick, Captain King was
known and loved by every one. His
charities were numerous and from the
days OF slavery his liberality was
proverbial. No one ever found in him
an unwilling listener and no one ever
turned from him without a pleasant
word having been spoken or bright
smile having been rendered to make
their way brighter. In his business
dealings he was buIwark OF honesty
and uprightness and no matter OF
honor was ever referred 80 him for
settlement but what received a Just
and righteous decision. His word was
his bond and through long years OF
business dealings, with the many
changes that time wrought in thelper>
sonel OF the business men of this com
munity, it never effected one iota the
confidence Rnd esteem that the people
Of this community held in him. He
was the truest and most faithful friend
that man eyer had and nothing could
swerve him from the path OF honor or
the ties that bound him to a friend,
10 his home life there was the tender
ness and beauty that surrounds the
loving father and devoted children,
Necessarily Of very private nature,
TO one OF his character, there was yet
enough known to the public to make
them honor and respect the man more
and more for his loving care and con
alteration of those near ana dear to
him. Az beautiful example to what
exalted nights man can rise to in bis
home circle. Captain King can be
truly said to have excellsd and the
closing hours Of his life were spent

Russian Mobiles Are natitiea 90 xAsss

aeveRmmemt.

The nobility Of Russia in each and
every province, who form a kind of
corporation in the eyes of the govern
ment with a marshal at its head, are TO
be allowed to establish special board
ing houses or homes for those of their
children who attend the middle-class
schools, but quite separate from such
schools.
The government undertakes to pay
the fah cost ct establishing thsse in.
stitutions, which will come under the
supreme control Of the minister Of pub
lie instruction, and in which the pu-
pills are to receive board, lodging,
clothes, linen, boots, schoolbooks, pc
euniary assistance, and. If necessary,
personal help in doing their home les
sons after school hours. The govern
ment also engages to pay half the year
ly cost of supporting them. The prefer
ence in accepting boatders as well as
gratuitous maintenance will be given
to the children whose fathers hold any
official post in the corporation of their
class or in the sefnstvos. or who have
formerly held such post for not less q
period than nine years. The nobility are
also granted the right of founding
scholarships for their boys in the higher
and intermediary establishments Of ed
ucation, for which the government like
wise provides half the necessary funds.
AT the same time an annual sum OF l86,-
$50 roubles viii be paid out of the i'm
perial exchequeF for the free educa-
tion of AIS boys in two of the new mil.
itary cadet schools.
This curious piece of class legislation
will give the landed nobility of Russia
a far cheaper education for their chill
dren than any that is put in the way OF
the other ANTICIPATED social categories
into which the Russian population Is
still divided.-Psll Mall Gazette.

{ MATTERS. $
A TALE WITH A MORAL.

Here is an incident which shows
the uncertainty of life and the bene-
fits which comes from following
good advice: A brother Workman
had been railroad brakeman for
about nineteen years and knew, as
well as any, how to avoid the dan
gers OF his work. A few days be-
fore the accident occurred which
caused his death, his wife on whom.
like many other Workman's wives,
devolved the duty of keeping his
assessments paid up, said to
neighbor woman: "I don't see how
we can offord to pay these dues and
assessments any longer; 1 believe
that I'll stop paying them; I'll let
'em 60 this month" But the neigh
Dor urged her not to stop, saying:
81 wouldn't stop if l were you; life
is uncertain and what would you do,
with those little tots to take care of,
if he should die?" The wife replied:
"Oh, Ben won't die; he's healthy
and he's been brakeman so many
years, and on this road, too, that he
can take care of himself all right"
"Well, my dear" said the neighbor
woman, "T wouldn't take any such
risk as that. A few dollars month
amt much; you'd spend it somehow,
and you'd better pay it where it
will come back to you if anything
should happen to your Ben. I'd
keep it up If | were you" And she
did. Her friend was a friend in
deed. The unexpected happened.
The Brother is dead, and but for
the timely words from a friend his
wife would have let him become sus-
pended few days before he died,
and she and the little ones wonld
have been left to the heartless strug-
gle for existence, with no money to
get start.-Ex.

A circular recently sent from the
head Office to deputies called atten-
ton to "newly-married men and
those contemplating such a step,'
as likely members. Why protection
at that time is more desirable is a
mystery. as later on in life more
than one poor brother has been met
at the door by a broonstick upon his
return from Lodge.
Fraternal progress keeps rolling
in and reminds one of the remark
made by green Irishman who,
during his frst day on a man-of-
war, was ordered to pull in a very
long tow line which was trailing in
the water, After working some
time and the end was not appearing
he turned to the officer and said:
"Bad luck to me, sorr, if l don't
behave someb .dy's cut off the other
end of this line."

Cat Adopts Four Rabbits.

A cat on the farm of Andrew Harris,
near McKeesport, Pa, has adopted four
baby rabbits in place of the litter of
kittens which she recently brought
into this world and which Mr.. Harris
thought the world could get along
without. The day after the kittens dis
appeared the cat was observed carrying
something to the barn in her mouth.
Three times she was seen making the
same journey. and then Mr.. Harris made
an investigation. He found, hidden in
the hay. three baby rabbits. While he
was looking at them puss appeared for
the fourth time. carrying another little
rabbit in her mouth. 1t was deposited
with the others, and she lay down with
them, purring with the greatest of
pride and satisfaction. The young rab-
bits are getting along finely. They hop
all about their foster mother. Mr.. Har-
ris is proud of his cat and is permit
ting her to raise her queer family un.
disturbed except for the visitors who
are constantly calling to witness this
queer freak.--N. Y. Sun.

Gratitude has been defined as ''a
lively sense of favors to come" Like
most cynical utterances upon life and
conduct, the measure of truth 1t holds
is not so absolute as to make it stand
ard for universal application. Here is
case in point: When the Klondike
fever was rifest, New Yorker, out of
work, penniless and despondent,
touched the sympathies of generous
friend who gave him an outfit and suffi-
cient money to reach the gold fields.
The New Yorker prospered, and re-
turned home recently to find his bene-
factor dead, and his widow and chill
dren impoverished.
At once and without solicitation he
not only returned his friends gift and
the cost of the outfit. but bought and
presented to the widow small house;
and here, happy with her children, she
has taken up the trade of dressmaking,
relieved from the anxieties of the fu-
ture. Gratitude is not yet an extinct
virtue.--Youth's Companion.

President Lincoln and the Flowers

President Lincoln, with his great,
kindly nature to which children and
music appealed so strenuously, was, of
course. passionately fond of flowers,
and during his administration the con-
servatories assumed a form very sim
liar to their present appearance. Very
often when Lincoln wished to be abso-
lutely alone he sought the solitude Of
the conservatory, and those about him,
as soon as they became appreciative of
this fact. exercised the greatest care
that his wish for privacy should be re-
spected Often when the cloud of war
and desolation hung darkest over the
country the old gardener in charge
would come suddenly upon the presi-
dent standing dejectedly among the
foliage, his eyes bedimmed with tears.

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

In very timely and well-considered
editorial. the Atlanta Constitution calls
attention to some remarks by a writer in
the Philadelphia Bulletin. who shows how
virulently that great apostle OF liberty
and democracy, Thomas jefferson. was
attacked by the plutocrstie forces of his
day
The Constitution very correctly observes
that the epithets and charges that have
been hurled at some OF the democratic
leaders OF today "as the archdemons of the
democratic movement" are mild and harm
less when compared with the lurld de-
nunciations OF Jefferson by the plutocracy
which was already organizing for bust
ness" in his time.
In standing for the rights of the COM
mon people and opposing centralizlng
schemes and special privileges TO special
classes. Jefferson mot only wounded but
alarmed that growing element that had
begun to antagonize the true democracy.
and was seeking to control legislation
and policies for selfish ends Then 1t was,
our contemporary remarks, and as II al
given signal, that the organs and agents
of this comparatively small but powerful
clique FELL upon jefferson, tooth and nail. "
To quote the Constitutions:
lie was charlatan and fraud he was
an enemy of law and order; he was a pan
derer to brutal and ignoraut mobs: he was
an organizer and leader OF the most dangerous
forces known TO society he was an incen-
diary, traitor. anarchist time-server. dnma.
gogue, prohigate, he was an enemy of God
and man he was blasphemer, n seducer AND
an adulteret.
The abuse OF Jefrerson's great discpi,
of today, William j. Bryan, has not beer
quite so virulent as this, but It has com,
very near TO 1t. 1t has stopped short only
in the matter OF Mr.. Bryan's moral at
tributes of character which his bittcres
enemies have not had the temerity to as
sail. II is historically correct, also, thai
in that earlier day sermons were preached
and pamphlets written to prove that tn,
doctrines OF Jefferson would cause chill.
dren to dsobey their parents. lead tn,
young to cease TO venerate the old, create
contempt for lawful authority and finally
bring about an awful season Of riot ant
murder worse than the horrors OF tn
French Reign Of Terror.
What is the moral OF 1t all?--asks the
Constitution. 1t Is this:
Let us shake hands all around and con.
erstulate ourselves that are true fol-
lowers Of the statesman who stood for tht
riehts OF man and the PRIVILEGES OF the com
