IN MEMORIAM.

Kate Nora Cleveland-Green was born at
Zanesfeld, Ohio, January 5, 1857. Nearly all
of her life was spent at home with her parents
She was married to Mr.. George Green, June
l6, 1897. Their brief married life was full OF
cheerfulness and hope. Strange indeed that
it should be cut short by what may seem to us
her untimely death.
She joined the M. f. church in Zanesfield
September 6, 1891. under the pastorate of the
Rev. Frederick Miller. Since her marriage, on
account of distance, she did not have the
privilege of regular attendance upon the SER
vices of her own church, but was frequently
seen ut the services of other churches and in
other places.
The last year, especially, of her life was full
of afliiction and suffering. At times her
suffering leSSened, her strength somewhat
returned. her hopes frightened, and we all
thought she would get well, only to see her
again Frustrated, her suferings return, and
the ravages of disease doing their fatal work
During her long and affiiction, and
intense suffering, She not given to COM
plaint or murmuring; she bore her suffering
with cheerfulness and in patience; was kind
to those who ministered to her peeds; had a
word of kindness for all who visited her sick
chamber.
The last few days of her earthly life She
| sank rapidly away, until July II, 1899, wher
she passed quietly away, at the age of 4:
years, months and L. days.
She leaves husband, a father and mother
one sister, besides many relatives and a host
| of friends to mourn her loss.
| We bury all that is mortal of Nora Green
| May we not hope that the deathless, immorta
spirit has gone home to be with God and tn,
angels forever? Where the wicked ceas,
from troubling, and the weary are forever a
rest BoNAR.

DR.. N. M, KEEP
Marries a Beilefontaine Lady Mon
day Afternoon.

Auglaize County Democrat.
DR.. NJ. NJ. Keep, of this town, has
been making mysterious visits to Belle
fontaine for several months, and his
friends here have been considerably
worked up over his strange conduct.
Tuesday the sequel camein an announce
ment that DR.. Keep, of Wapakoneta,
and Miss Emma Horn, of Bellefontaine,
have been married in the Methodist
parsonage in the latter city Monday
afternoon. 1t seems that the couple
had stolen march on their friends at
both Wapakoneta and Bellefontaine,
and the announcement of their mar
riage was complete surprise in both
places. DR.. Keep and his charming
bride arrived here Tuesday and re-
ceived hearty welcome at the hands
of the doctors bachelor friends, tc
whom he gave private tip that there
were many more pretty girls over al
Bellefontaine and that it would pay
them to go over and look around.

CAPT. MCCALLA, of the Navy, while
commenting the gallantry of Hobson
and his companions, says the sinking of
the Merrimac to block the harbor of
Santiago. was a mistake-that every
effort should have been made to force
Cervera S fleet out of the harbor, and
not to keep it in. The fnality proves
that McCalla is correct. Cervera's s
escape from the harbor, resulted in the
destruction of his fleet, as he predicted,
and caused the surrender of the city.
Had he remained, his vessels and men
might have prolonged the siege till our
army was decimated by disease; and a
good part of our navy might have been
sunk trying to fight its way into the
harbOr.
The tactics of the navy, in the Span
ish war, except in the case of Dewey,
were not up to the standard of the
American navy. Standing off five
miles and bombarding an old disman-
tied fort that q regiment of militia
could have captured, was not of the
David Porter or David Faragut type OF
fighting. The fighters were kept in
the rear, and only thro' the interven-
! ton of a kind Providence was a blood.
less victory thrust upon us.

CONDITIONS BETTER IN IRELAND.

Bishop Ireland has just returned from
Europe, and speaking of Ireland, in a
recent interview, gave the following
encouraging news as to the conditions
in that country:
"And by the way, the last thing I
did before leaving, was to give a ten
minute talk at Cork, which | called my
message to the Isrish people, on tenn
perance. I told them that all they had
to do was to follow the lines of Father
Matthew and they would be among the
first in everything. There has been
great improvement in the conditions in
ireland. The county councils, which
formerly were named by the grand jury
and were practically the landlords. are
now elective, and give a large measure
of home rule. So far as it goes, the
system is remarkably good. 1 will say
nothing as to giving ultimate satisfac-
tion. Mr.. Balfour, to whom the whole
thing is due, is well pleased with the
results. There are schools everywhere
in Ireland, and the Irish people today
are well educated. The immigrants we
get in the future will be so.

SYRlANS CHEER DEWEY
ROYAL WELCOME WAS GIVEN
THE ADMIRAL AIRPORT SAID.
Syrians Wore Miniature U. S. Flags
Arrested for 1t, But American
Consul Had Them Released.

A. f. Darouge, of this city, repre-
sentative of Syrian and Egyptian news
papers, yesterday received letter
from friend at Beirut informing him
of the royal welcome which has been
extended to Admiral Dewey at Port
Said by the Syrians. According to the
letter, it was a gala day for the people
of that section of the world. Excursions
were run from nearly every city, town
and hamlet within a radius of 200 miles,
and more than 5000 took advantage of
the opportunity to look upon the hero
of Manila. The letter states the day
was cool and pleasant and sky was
cloudless, and flags of all nations were
seen in profusion at Port Said. A num-
ber of Turkish and Egyptian authorities
boarded the Olympia and extended a
welcome to the Admiral. Among them
were lot of Syrians, citizens of the
United States, who had returned
to the mother country to visit friends.
Each of the latter wore miniature
United States flags in their button
holes. Upon the return of the Syrians
to Beirut they were arrested by the
Turkish authorities and thrown into
prison. The news of their arrest
reached the ears of the United States
Consul, and he made demand upon
the Turkish Government for the i'm.
mediate release of the prisoners, which
was complied with after a show of re
luctance. The liberated Syrians weni
in a body to the Consul's residence
and thanked him for his pro
lection. In closing his letter, the
writer says that the welcome to Ad
miral Dewey marked the biggest day
ever seen in the land of Syria.

TEDDY
Is i'm it-Has Great Influence With
President Mckinley.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Tribune, under date of July
%, says:
The President of the United States
pays great personal attention to Gov
ernor Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt
has greater personal influence than any
one man on the continent. 1t was noted
with some surprise at the time that
Roosevelt had been summoned to the
White House to discuss army appoint
ments with the President. 1t now
transpires that Roosevelt wrote letter
to Cabinet officer, urging the retire
ment of Alger, the removal of Otis
from the Philippines and the succession
of Brooke in Cuba by General Leonard
Wood. The letter was at once shown
to the President, who attached great
weight to it, and later consulted Roose-
welt on it's contents. 1t is said that
Roosevelt criticized severely the course
of the War Department. The defer
ence which the President pays to
Roosevelt is due to the fact that Nc
Kinley recognizes that he is the only
man on the continent who has threat
ened his denomination, not of his own
volition, but through a popularity
which, if not curbed, would pass beyond
control

MAYOR OF ST. LOUIS OBJECTS TO
CHICAGO SEWAGE.
Asks That Orders for the Opening OF
the New Drainage Canal Be
Revoked.

St. Louis, July 29.-Mayor Zeigen-
helm, of this city, today took hand in
opposing the opening of the Chicago
Drainage Canal by addressing a lengthy
protest to President Mckinley in the
name of the citizens of ST. Louis.
The Mayor lays particular stress on
''the danger to the people of St. Louis
and to the people of the Lower Missis-
sippi Valley, should the sewage of the
city of Chicago be discharged into the
Mississippi River, which furnishes the
supply of drinking water to thousands, "
and asks that the permit recently
issued by the Secretary of War to the
the trustees of the sanitary district OF
Chicago, authorizing them to cause the
waters of Lake Michigan to flow into
the Chicago River and the drainage
canal, be revoked.

INDIANA NEGROES
Issue Memorial Regarding Race
Troubles-Death Penalty for As

Indianapolis, July 28.-The Indiana
Afro-American League today issued a
memorial to the country at large perti-
nent to the race problem. 1t pronounc-
ed in strong terms against the taking
of human life without trial by jury, and
charged that within the past seven
years over l, 300 people had been lynch
ed or burned alive in the South. Less
than one-third of these, it was asserted,
had been even accused of assault. 1t
favored the death penalty for the crime
of assault after conviction in the courts,
and anathematized the Government of
those States where provisions of the
Federal constitution had been nullified
by the disfranchisement of black citi-

COMMANDS THE IOWA
Capt. Goodrich VIII Relieve Capt.
Terry.

Washington, July 29.-Captain C. F.
Goodrich has been detached from COM
mand of the cruiser Newark and order
ed to assume command of the battle
ship Iowa on September 1, relieving
Captain Terry, who is ordered home on
waiting orders. The assignment is of
special interest in connection with the
plans to make the Iowa the nucleus of
and execute an extensive program of
naval manucuvers. Being the only
battle ship of the fleet, the Iowa will
probably rank first among the ships of
that station, and Captain Goodrich
doubtless will have command.

1t is common occurrence for the
Washington monument to be struck by
lightning, the shaft being so high it
attracks every bolt within wide ra-
dius. There is no less than hundred
and eighty lightning conductors fixed
into the cap of the great structure,
and each of these leads into q thick
wire which carries the electricity
down the inside of the shaft. 1t is said
if the conductors were placed on the
outside, as on other structures, there
would be many accidents and the hand
some monument would be SCARED and
Clipped by the frequent bolts. Dur
ingstorms the elevators are stopped, and
the inside is considered as dangerous
place to be during thunder storm.

THE PASSING OF INdERsOLL.

Robert Greene Ingersoll, the world
famed agnost!c, died at his country
home on the Hudson, at midday of July
q, aged almost &c years. His wife and
family were about him, but he died in
his chair without moments warning
and without word of farewell.
In his departure the world loses one
who has made profound impression
upon the thought of the age in which
he lived, but how enduring that i'm
preston will be no one can foretell. He
arrayed himself against the accepted
religious beliefs of his time, and all
the charms of oratory and beauty of
diction were used to lure his hearers
and readers from the paths in which
their fathers trod. In so far as he
taught sympathy, and mercy, and lib
erty and liberality of thought, his
work was helpful and healthful. But
when he willfully struck down the
religious hopes and ideals of the people
and offered them nothing in return, he
did a positive harm. However, he
went to such extremes in both his
religious and his political utterances
that he made few converts, and while
he entertained and seemingly swayed
his hearers he did not convince and
convict them. Even his masterpiece,
the speech nominating James G. Blaine
for the Presidency in the Cincinnati
convention of 1876, did not secure for
the Plumed Knight the coveted prize,
but rather reacted in favor of a more
conservative candidate. Indeed he
studied to shock people, and his sarcasm
was so keen and cutting that it often
defeated his purpose as leader.
The chief criticism we would pass
upon his teachings is that they are not
satisfying. His voice was like that of
the ship-wrecked and disconsolate
mariner constantly taunting and tor
menting his fellows with the cry that
they would never get ashore. In Ian
guage of SURPRISING beauty he ridiculed
all sacred things. The world asked for
bread and he gave it stone. The
soul yearned for Immortality and he
offered it dust. The mother wept for
her child, but he couldn't comfort her.
His teachings were negative; they de-
stroyed but did not build again. He
battered down the castle of hope only
j to leave us in darkness and despair.
He taught not evolution but revolution
in our beliefs. His was not the philos-
|ophy that exalts the heart of the hum
BILE and points the storm-stricken
mariner to star. At best his testi-
mOny was that of a witness who could
Ionly answer, I don't know. 1t proved
nothing, and left the world more dis
contented than before. Budget.
