II one were looking for type Of sub
stantial, persevering character, it could be
found in Chester b. Dexter, who died in
this city yesterday. For more than a half
century he conducted business at one place,
and the immediate vicinity was as well
known by his name as by the title of the
street. Better than that, the product
which he diligently and ceaselessly pro-
vided for the public made his name synony-
nous with the best in his line of trade.
Willing to give and 10 labor for the sue
cess of the political party which claimed
his allegiance and of the church in which
his faith rested, his long life was a model
of that desirable citizenship which, having
taken its place in the community's work,
holds that place with the one desire TO dis
charge its duties as becomes true man.

On Monday afternoon between 8 and 4
o'clock, fire was discovered issuing from
the two barns on the premises of John G..
Whitcomb, prosperous farmer, living
about two miles northwest of the village.
Mr.. Whitcomb and sister were not at home
at the time, but we're in the immediate
vicinity and where they could see the
smoke and flames and could at once reach
the scene of the disaster. Word was i'm
mediately sent to the village and the citi-
zens went to the assistance of Mr.. Whit
comb, and although too late to save the
barns, they were able to render valuable
aid in saving other farm buildings. Twenty
fivetons of hay were stored in the barns. The
estimated loss is S1l00, partly covered by
an insurance of $3.50 The fire was un.
doubleday of incendiary origin and suspic
ion points strongly to a tramp who called
at the house, but was refused admittance
by the young girl left in charge.

ISIS HOPKINS HoMELY PHILOSOPHY.

ISIS Hopkin" is only a mythical
character,serving to tighten up roar
ing stage farce, but she gives forth a
bit OF homely philosophy that may be
widely applied and which epitomizes
modern human nature when she says:
"They amt no sense in doin' nuthin'
for nobody whut won't do nuthin' for
you" :.
Doctrinares may talk all they want
to about the beauties of civil service re.
form; but the average American will
continue to insist upon having some
bread and meat along with his princi-
pies, and contend that they who win the
victories shall enjoy the bulk of its ben
efts. In short, "To the victors belong
the spoils," and the people have come
back to realization that this healthy
doctrine is the only plan by which
government like ours can be success
fully operated. Nothing has so con-
frmed this idea as the ridiculous hum.
buggery and shameful partiality prac'
ticed in all the departments in the name
of civil service reform. isis Hopkins"
is right, and the black man in business
and politics is making up his mind not
to do "nuthin' for nobody whut won't
do nuthin' for him."
