Death OF Annie Mattoon.

Little Annie Nation was taken to the
hospital last week to have an operation
performed for appendicitis. In spite of
every precaution and the best surgical
aid, the sufferer succumb bed to the dread
ailment on Saturday morning. A child
Of fifteen, she was unusually bright and
winsome and the whole city was pain
fully shocked to learn Of her unexpected
death. Loved and loveable, the treasure
of the household, the idol of her grand
parents and priced companion of her
school mates, no saddei afllictiOn has De.
fallen the community in years. The re-
cent bereavment of the family in the
deat tn of another child makes this strok
a peculiarly heavy one to bear, by the
devoted parents. Reverends Hawk and
Dent conducted the funeral services from
the home of the grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. L. Nation on Sunday afternoon
at > O'Clock, and large crowds of sorrow
ing friends attested their sympathy by
their presence. The pail bearers were A.
B. Flint, Robert McComb, |. n, Navarro,
J. B. Braden, w. A. Bell an! Walter f.
Tuesley.
The following lines to the memory of
little Annie Nation are contrib nted by
friend of the family:
She has risen!
From ont the temple of clay,
Her earthly prison,
She is free and away.
She has risen
With the lovely, gone before
In fields Elysian
She win wander evermore
She lBs risen
on, Annie, could YOU but speak
What is the mission
Your soul would bid us seek
What IS the secret
Your lips guarded keep,
As in your casket
You lie there IN sleep
We say farewell
Loved child, sister, friend;
when swings eteruity's bell
We shall meet where love knows no end

v and leave it a II day.

Mr.. Brashear, the Allegheny telescope niahei
therefore asked Professor Hastings, OF Yale,
who has spent nearly a lifetime IN the STUDY vi
optics, to devise a lens which would obVlate all
the troubles here described. 1t was meant TO be
used in combination with a concave plate, and
during the recent falls of Leonids and An
dromedes a trial was made of the new principle
at Allegheny. Mr.. Brashear had completed a
pair Of Photographic doubets, OF four inches
aperture and spanning an arc Of 80 degrees or
LOCO square degrees. The desirablllty OF TINS
improvement will be recognized when one
learns that in many attempts to photograph
meteors in the past the trail has been narrow
and sharp at the centre of the plate and wide
and diffuse near the edge. Gratifying results
attended the experiments at Allegheny this
year.
Conclve plates were used at the ferkes OBJ
eervatory last month also. but not with lens.
They were adjusted in the focus Of 21-nch
reflector, which was admirably adapted to
Photographic work.

CONCATE PHOTOGRAPHIC PLATES.
NOVELTY THAT Is ATTRACTING ATTENTION
AMONG ASTRONOMERS.


In some Of the accounts of preparations FOR
photographing meteor trails this fall mention has
been made Of concave plates. Although the idea
is not altogether new, it has probably had more
successful application this year by reason OF the
invention Of a new Photographic lens
The concaye plate should not be confounded
with the curved films whose use Sir Norman
Lockyer suggested year or two ago for widely
extended eDectra He used a fiat celluloid film
that was bent in only one direction. The new
plate = Of glass and is a section Of hollow
sphere. having the sensitizing emulsion applied
to the inner surface.
Although great advances have been made in
astronomical photography within the last ten
or fifteen years perfection in that class Of work
has not yet been attained one Of the diff
culties encountered related 10 focusing equally
we'll on all parts Of a plate. Even with lens
made especially for stellar work, il was found
that when the stars were nicely focused at the
centre Of the plate certain distortion, due to
astigmatism would develop a few degrees away.
Then somebody suggested trying concaye
plate. But if this were done, and the operator
used an ordinary camera lens. slightly differ
ent distortion occurred. The images would be
correct at the centre and edge OF the plate but
defective between those two points.

the old Sherman mansion of Fairfield,
CT, Judge Sherman, a nephew of Roger
Sherman, one of the signers of the dec
IaratlOn OF lnuependence, ana royal
host to many of the most eminent men
of the nation. Judge Sherman was es-
pecially fond of children, but while his
two sons grew to maturity, they did not
survive him, so that he was left child

sion bright and merry with many little
people.
All through the years since the house
became the minister's home, the hand

costing the interesting scenes of long
ago.
Today the Sherman mansion is filed
with children, and it was in response
to their earnest opportunities that Mr..
Child wrote his fantasia, investing the
story with the atmosphere of the place,
seeking to bring his blithe troop Of boys

There is place in the pilgrimage of life where
the fondest husband must unclasp his wife's hand
and let her go on alone to tread the "Valey of the
shadow Of death" Presently, perhaps, she comes
back to him, white and wan, babe at her breast
and new light in her eyes, the light of the dawn
Of motherhood And sometimes the husband
gropes through binding tears to white cold bed,
to look upon a white, cold face, which cannot feel
the kiss which falls upon it.
Motherhood is the supreme glory of woman.
And spite of pain and peril in endless generations
she treads that ovalley of. the shadow" happy to
come back again to life and light with the mag
nifcat of Mary upon her lips.
No man can share either the mysteries or rniseries
of motherhood. Only a mother, who has tasted
the same cup of blended sweet and bitter can SYM
pathize with mother. Only mother can fifty
have message for other mothers. And this mes
sage for mothers comes from those who speak by
right of suffering
The greatest and grandest message that any
mother could hear would be this Motherhood is
robbed of its pangs and perils 1t is possible to be
the "joyful mother of children" without the pre-
natal anxiety and depression, the postnatal weak
ness and suffering so generally asso-
ciated with maternity. That is the FTTTrTr

CENSOR HOLDS SWAY.
No Play Can Be Produced In England
Without His Approval.


No play may be publicly performed
in England until it has been passed
upon and agreed to by the stage cen
sor, says the Chicago News. A certifi-
cate must be secured from the lord
chamberlain, who is an official not to be
confused with the hereditary great
chamberlain of England. He has moth
ing to do with the great offices by which
England's laws are made and executed,
and he is accountable only to the queen,
who rarely NEEDLES in such matters.
The lord chamberlain himself does not,
of course, read all the plays submitted
to him, but the work is passed on to
the examiner of plays, who is not al
ways a man of education or discretion,
and who in many cases has been sus-
pected of letting things pass because
managers have made it profitable to
him to close his eyes to supposed
faults.
In addition to various methods he has
of securing unto himself salary he is
allowed the sum of $40 for each play
which he examines. This means much
in England, for the English stage right
Is lost if play be presented first in
America. Thus authors who have writ
ten plays which they do not expect to
give to the English public Immediate
ly, have to arrange a copyright per-
Torrance, and at each examination
makes his little levy.
The story is told of one of these ex-
aminers who was moved to strike out
drunk as a lord" in one of the plays
submitted to him. There used to be an
old rule that the word heaven" should
{ submitted in wage lines wherever
the name of any of the persons in the
Trinity came up. So this clever exam
iner changed the line to read, las drunk
as a heaven"
The penalty for disobeying the ex-
aminer is a fine of $3.50, which may be
levied on any person connected with
the forbidden performance-call boy as
well as star.
