DEATH OF MRS a. W. GREEN.
The death Of Mrs 81. W. Green on Sat
urday night was hardly unexpected te
those who knew her actual condition
She had not been in her usual health 70,
some time. During the heavy shower oil
last Thursday, her nervous system re.
ceived such shock that she passed into
q state Of insensibility from which she
did not rally. She leaves q daughter,
Lulu, who has the sympathies Of the
community in this loss Of her mother.
Mrs Green has been a great sufferer, al
most from childhood. It has been a
wonder to all how enc so frail could suf-
fer 80 much and 60 about as much
as she did, yet never complaining.
It would almost seem the capacity for
enjoyment had been destroyed through
this constant, ever present suffering. We
can al say He giveth his beloved
sleep,'' ssBlassed rest" Her father and
mother, two brothers, Joseph G., Ed
ward K, and one sister, Lucy A., survive
her. The funeral took place in st Paul's
church on Tuesday at lao p. M, Rev Mr.
Whitcome conducting the service, the
interment being in the family LOT In
Lands End cemetery. The heart Of the
community involuntarily goes out to Mr.
Green who has spent 30 much time and
money In fitting up SO comfortable a
home for his family and the .disappoint-
mont that must follow this loss. Mr.
Green has In many ways endeared him

he has done and Is doing In the way Of

Velocity of the Wind.

A writer in the Chicago Record fig
ures out that all estimates Of the We
locity of the wind at Galveston and at
Chicago when the storm reached there,
are away above the reality, The esti-
mate at Galveston was 110 miles An
hour; at Chicago so miles an hour. AT
an average rate of 81 miles the storm
should have travelled from Galveston
to Chicago in 16 hours, but it actually
required two days and II hours. The
writer made his own observations at
Chicago, and concludes the gale blew
there at the rate of 81 miles an hour
He may be nearly right about the
wind velocity at Chicago, though his
method of calculation is crude; but he
is in error in trying to estimate the
velocity of the wind at any particular
point by striking an average for a
long distance.
Storms are circular--that is the wind
blows around a comparatively calm
center. A storm moving across the
country at the rate of 20 miles an hour
may have a wind velocity of 60 or rs
miles an hour. In fact, the rate of
progress of a storm bears little rela-
tion to its wind velocity, and while
passing 1000 miles the wind velocity
may vary from 20 miles an hour to. 100
miles The Chicago writer character
ICES the Weather Bureau instruments
as mere toys, but the average man will
prefer the record of the thermometer
to the straws that are blown about as
a measure Of the velocity of the wind,
if not an idicator of its course.

BRYAN'S FOOL BREAK.

Even the calm of the Chicago Rec
ord was broken by Bryan's Indianapo-
lis break about the soldiers and the
forts at the cities, and it is moved to
announce and declare that "the man
who sows discord among the people
for his political profit, who arouses
class hatred in a land where there
should be no classes, in order that he
may get an office, Is Enthusiastically
working his own undoing. Mr.. Bry-
ans cause can not prosper from the
moment that he begins to cry out that
Americans are seeking to infringe on
the liberties of Americans. The free
man who is enlightened as we'll as free
knows where he can find arms"
All this is true, and 1t tallies exactly
with the Republican position on this
question all the way through. Yet
there is some excuse for Bryan in
these speeches. He Is literally wor-
ried to death. The nearer the day of
defeat comes on, the less control of
himself he'has and of his speech, and
the indianapolis insult to the inde-
pendence and integrity of his coun-
trymen is only like his Salem, Ills,
declaration, that his own party is full
of purchaseable voters and election
officers, who will be bought up, and
thus defeat him. The American peo-
pie have no use for such, man for
president.

was never refused. He perhaps was
worth more as janitor and porter than
as instructor, but it was our misfor-
tune not to find out that fact until he
had left our employ, and filed his
claim with the justice.
SO 1t went on until we were forced to
oust him and presuming that although
inefficient, unpopular and ungentle-
manly he might still be honest, he was
asked after we had paid him in full, to
pay the $1,000 Of his brothers tuition
he had agreed to pay and he refused.
Here we leave him, having yet in store
facts concerning his career in this and
other places that the future may re-
quire us to disclose.

CONSIDER YOUR VOTE.
Why Vote For Aguinaldo and
Lose Your Job?
DON'T GET ISSUES oEsOU2-D.

Agninai"o Got $4,000 From spain and
car People Mead Not Waste Their
sympathies on Him,
One of the errors of mankind is to
become SO eIgrossed by a theory as
to forget to look on the other side.
In 1892 the theory of free trade cap
tured the American people. They neg
lected to consider the practical side of
the tariff question. Result-a panic,
followed by four years OF business de-
preston, with tens of thousands out
of employment.
This year Bryan Is preaching that
we have no right to the Philippines,
on the theory that 1t violates the con
sent of the governed" clause of the
Declaration of Independence.
This is pure theory, with nothing
practical in it, 1t took four years Of
terrible war to establish the authority
Of the Union over the Southern Con-
federacy, without the consent of the
governed"

silver, with its menace to the financial
stability of the nation, to our indus
tries, our trade, and our workingmen.
What shall 1t profit a man to aid
Aguinaldo in establishing a dictator
ship in the Philippines, and thus lose
his own job?
Why vote for Bryan's theory, when
1t means vote for hard times, dull
trade, idle workmen and public soup
houses?
Mr.. Bryan has fine and lofty scorn
in his public utterances-for pros
porous times, when everybody is max
ing money. He can not deny that our
present prosperity is the result Of Re-
publican policies; but he exclaims
that the Republicans are putting the
dollar above the man. Mr.. Depew
made a most complete answer to that
when he said, I'VE are simply putting
the dollar within the reach of the
man."
Why should any workingman be 80
devoted to the political fortunes OF
Aguinaldo as to vote, not only to put
the dollar out of his own reach again,
but to cut its value in two?
Bryan is disgusted at the talk abou'
the full dinner pail which he says i'm
plies that man has no idea above a
full stomach. A full dinner pail i'm
plies good wages and steady employ
ment, so that there will be money in
the worllingman's pocket to buy food
clothing, and all the comforts Of life
for himself and family.
Mr.. Bryan is anxious to provide foI
his own family-to have them live in
the White House, rent free, with
$4,000 annual salary for himself
wherewith to provide them with good
dinners. Why, then. should he raj
at the workingman for voting for goot
dinners for himself and his OWE
family?
Self-preservation is the first law o.
nature. We doubt If Mr.. Bryans argu'
ment for Aguinaldo will lead the
American people to neglect their OWL
best interests, when they go to the
polls on November 6.

who obtained control of sufficient
stock to give them a majority of the

rest of her days in putting into books
the thoughts and experiences of her
busy life. She tells an interesting
story of her struggles to recover the
wrecked business which her husband
left on his death. His last request to
her was to pay his debts and save his
name. She says:
"When it appeared certain to me
that everything would have to go and
I would be driven upon the street
worse than penniless, woman came
to see me- She was a stranger. She
said she had heard of my brave strug-
gle and threatened ruin, and handed
me a check for $4,000. The name on
the check was Eliza Jane Smith. God
bless her She did not want security,
but wanted to make me present of
the money. l would not accept it but
gave her notes, payable in installments
of $1,000 each. / paid the pressing
debts, and with these out of the way
was able to boom the business. Six
months later the first note became due,
and l met with such success that l
was able to give my benefactress the
entire $4,000, instead of $1,000. Dur
ing the first year lived in a garret and
spent only $50 on myself. l made an
average of 100000 a year, paid off
the debts of my husband and laid by
enough to take care of me to the end
of my days-a good enough record for
a woman"
