the people. he has lifted the veil of
calumny and misrepresentation, dis
PEELED the clouds of doubt and pre-
JUDGE and won the united support
of thousands of voters through the
open, frank, manly and intelligent
discussions Of the present campaign.
Reckless charges have been easily

follow. Never we're the people

strong partisans sometimes set aside
their political principles and their
action is justifable expedient in
the accomplishment of those results.
Many who have formerly supported
the Democratic ticket will cast their
votes for Murphy this year on the
question of statehood.

Mrs Brewer. BodyFound.

Mrs Fidelia Brewer, aged oyer 80, disappeared from her home in South Sandisfeld, Mass, on the night of Fri day, September 29. She lived with her two sons and domestic. Her dissp- pearance was not noted for three days as her sons thought her absence was due to her being at her daughters a mile distant. Still another daughter coming to call on her, and not finding her at either place, made known her disappearance and it was found that all her clothes excepting her night dress, shawl and low shoes were in her room. A dlligent search was instituted but her wherabouts could not be discovered. i. Her two kittens were found moving at a brook about half mile from the Brewer home.
 At different times large parties have searched the neighborhood without re- suits and clairvoyants have been em- ployed.
 Mrs Brewers body was found on New Years morning in 8 swamp meadow about a quarter of a mile from where the kittens were found. The discovery was made by her elder son Julius, who claims to have been directed by a Chi cago clsirvoyant to search that swamp meadow, and which he has been doing when he had time. The meadow Is im- passible in the summer and the grass was high and had not been cut. The flesh had nearly all fallen from the body which was frozen down. It was dress. ed in the night gown, shawl and low shoes. An inquest was conducted by | Coronor Beebe of Great Burlington, Mass. assisted by pr O. H. Callauder of New Boston after the body had been thawed ont with hot water. The cor oner is convinced that the woman s death resulted from natural causes.
 The funeral of Mrs Brewer will be | held from her late residence tomorrow at II a m., burial in Southfeld.

The Passing of a Picturesque Industry.

The Passing of Picturesque Industry.
 In the January number of "The Ma tionAl Magazine" Maitland Leroy Osborne writes of "Old Whaling Days in America" and portrays typical New Bedford "old salt" as follows:
 He was seated on broken spar on the sunny side of boat house, smok- ing his black, short stemmed pipe; gaunt, bronzed and grizzled, with a far-off look in his dimming eyes and the deep -graven traces of tropic suns and artic winds in his face.
 "There was money in whaling before the days of mineral oil and substitutes for whalebone,' said he. But it was a hard life, at best. What with the chances of poor season and scurvy and bad food, and perhaps being ice. bound three or four winters running, it wasn't all roses by any means We got two irons in an old scragg once an eighty bsrrell bull whale-snd down he went to the bottom. It was deep water and he took out five hundred fathoms of line before he stopped. Pretty soon he rose right under the boat, lifted it about twenty feet out of the water and tumbled us all out The captains boat picked us up and the old man put a lance into him and brought blood and killed him. Another time we got fast to fifty foot bowhead in the Okhotsh Sea. He got wound mp in the line ard charged us. One fiuke came down across the boat amidships and killed an osrsman. We all jumped and swam for the other boats, leaving him to smash ours into little pieces.
 "'Queer things about whales con- tinued the captain. knocking the ashes from his pipe, is their fuke. It's smooth on the outside, and yet inside the bones are like those in man's hand. Then. too, though they live ir the water, they're warm -blooded animal and suckle their young.
