BEAUTIFUL RENDITION

OF Gaurs "The Holy City"--Christ
Church. Ansonia, Completely Filled
Sunday Evening.
Large as is Christ church it could not
begin to seat the congregation that
! gathered there Sunday evening. Even
after many chairs had been brought in
and all the spare room filled with them
nearly two hundred people stood in the
| vestibule and about the aisles for two
hours to listen to the magnificent rem
dering of Gauls sacred cantata, 'yThe
Holy City," by the choir. There have
| been many special musical events in the
| church, but in the opinion of those who
| have heard most Of them none other has
| equalled that of Sunday evening" One
| reason for this is the organ, which itself
was one of the features Of the beautiful
rendition.
The prelude allowed Organist Newton
to bring out the fine qualities of the in
strument and the large congregation
seemed entranced. The heavy passages
seemed to fairly make the large struc-
ture tremble.
But it was not the organ and its SUI

strengthened by a mixed chorus Of

tralto, and Ralph Schneeloch, tenor,
and George Simmons baritone, both Of
the Yale Glee club. Mr.. Simmons had
suddenly been seized with an attack Of
tonsilitis, but as no substitute could be
procured he was present, singing one of
his two solos He found himself unable
to attempt the second, however, and the
Congregational church quartette of this
city took his place. The quartette con-
sists Of Miss Mabel Loomer, Miss Ber

A CONGRESSMAN'S DEATH.

Probably Killed Either by Jumping or
Failing from New York Hotel.
New York, Feb. 13.-Congressman
Charles A. Chickering of Copenhagen,
N. Y, was found outside the Grand
had either fallen or jumped from a
fourth story window of the hotel
The body was found by mikman on
the sidewalk of the Forty-tirst street
side of the hotel, under the open window
of his room, which was on the fourth
floor. Evidently it had been lying
there for some time, as the clothing was
saturated with rain. The clothing on
the body consisted of underwear, socks,
night shirt, trousers, and vest with
out coat, shoes or hat There was a bad
cash in the right side Of the head.
Mr. Chickering had been in the hotel
all day yesterday He had complained
considerable of rheumatism, but moth
ing irrational in his actions had been
observed by those at the hotel
The room occupied by Mr.. Chickering
was large and airy, and outside the
window was the iron fire escape. That
suicide was deliberate is evident from
the fact that Mr.. Chickering had to
climb out and then jump over the fire
escape railing. He struck on his head
and side, breaking many bones.
Friends in Copenhagen say he had
been melancholy since an attack of
fever over year ago.
Mr. Chickering was one of the well
known and universally esteemed men in
the house, although a long illness had
kept him away from his associates dur
ing the present session. He was last
IN Washington when the vote on the
financial bill was taken. He insisted

cord his vote for the bill

PAY THE PRINTER.

1t has been long time Since
the Review has said anything to
its readers about the payment of
their subscription, under its pres
ent system the Review has no de-
linquent subscribers, it goes only
to those who pay, and its list is a
roll of homer. AS the subscription
season approaches we would sim
ply ask our readers to note the
subscription date on their papers
and remember that it is time to
pay the printer. The Review will
be sent to each subscriber two
weeks after his subscription has
expired in order that ample time
may be given for renewal. After
the two weeks have expired the
paper will be discontinued to
your address unless payment is
made. 1t is absolutely essential
to our business that this rule be
lived up to without regard to per-
sons, We believe that in no other
place do people receive greater
value for their money than in the
newspapers. We believe that the
efforts of the Review to print a
good newsy paper have been ap-
preciated by its readers, we be-
lieve that those on our list now
are friends Of the paper and are
ready to support and stand by it.
The space that other papers are
Obliged to devote to dunning their
readers, the Review is able to de-
vote to news and we shall not keep
ding donglng our readers for sub
scrlptlon money. The question
is up to you, do you wish the
Review sent to you another year,
or do you not? If you like the
paper, if you think it is worth the
money, if you do not wish to miss
an issue send in your subscription
promptly.

THE BEST YET.

Last year was a splendid one in
Denison. The railroad builders
were here, engineers, superintend-
ents, contractors and laborers.
The Boyer Valley was lined with
camps and improvised towns and
the new population broughtn
certain amount of trade to Denison
merchants. This year has been
better. There is not a merchant
in Denison who has not done bet
ter. Is it not remarkable? With
fewer people in the immediate vi
clnity, with presidential cam
paign which usually is hard on
business, there is not merchant
in town who has not done better
this year than last. 1t is the uni
versal prosperity of the farmer and
the laborer that has done it.
Good prices for farm produce
mean more to the merchants of
Denison than all the railroad
booms we can have. The pessi-
mists declared last year that Deni-
son had seen its best days, that the
new towns would take away its
tradeland that Denison was a gone
goose. The startling and exceed
ingly pleasant fact remains that
Denison has done better this. year
than last. In times of financial
depression we believe it would be
true that Denison would feel the
blow harder than ever, on account
Of small towns. People can buy
the absolute necessities of life al
most any place and if they are
compelled to buy only these they
will go to the nearest point to pur-
chase them. When, however they
are using luxuries they go where.
they can get the best selection.
People are now coming to Deni-
son from miles away because they
know they can get just what they
want and because competition is
strong enough here to make prices
exceedingly reasonable. The Re
view congratulates the people Of
the county upon the continued
prosperity that has blessed them
and the merchants of Denison up
on the fact that they have receiv-
ed their share and have been re-
warded for their enterprise and
push.

peril in which our records are
placed, the expenditure of money
for good roads is the most pressing
necessity before our people today.
The REVIEW would like to hear
from the people on this subject of
good roads, we would like to hear
from the business men of Denison
and of all the other towns in the
county, we would like to hear from
the farmers, and perhaps, if all
unite, enough pressure can be
brought to bear upon the board to
get them to inaugurate some sys-
tenn which shall result in perma-
nent highways. People complain
of high freight rates but the truth
of it is that it costs the farmer as
much to get his load of produce
from his farm to Denison as it docs
to get it from Denison to Chicago.
The great railroads are recognizing
the necessity for improved road
ways; they are expanding much
more money in cutting down
grades, strengthening curves, and
building double tracks than they
are in building extensions and
branches. In the same way this
county does not need more roads,
but better roads, although it is a
fact that the roads Of Crawford
county compare favorably with
those Of any county surrounding it.

MR.. BRYAN HAD A PAPER.

Mr., Bryan will start a paper.
1t reminds us of the old poem a.
bout the farmer who had a. son
who was no good on the farm, a
failure as a clerk, a dullard in
school and so the old man thought
he wonld make an editor of him.
Mr.. Bryan has so far made a fail
ure OF everything he has undertake
en- and we believe that after the
first success, caused by his notori-
ETY., the new paper will be a flat
failure. ooh that mine enemy
would write a book" should be
changed in this day and age tossOh
that mine enemy would edit a
newspaper. Just as a worn out
pugilist seeks the stage, so the
worn-out politician seeks the press.
The pugilist's first night is a sue
cess and SO doubtless will be Mr..
Bryan's first paper. After that
Mr.. Bryan will find that COMPETE
ton is strong in the newspaper
line, that there are hundreds Of
trained minds in the profession
and that writing something new
once a week is a much more diff
cult task than talking the same
thing all the time.

AlB European Governments Except
Russia Have SiEnified Their Will.

Guarantees Demanded-Most Inn

matte Service for Many Years.

Chicago, Dec. 30-A special to the
Record from Washington says:
All Of the European governments
except Russia have notified the de-
partment of state that they are pre-
pared to give in writing the guarantees
requested some time ago by the meI-
chants and manufacturers in the mar
kets of China. wherever their spheres
Of influence" extend. This is the most
important commercial proposition
that has engaged the attention Of our
diplomatic service for many years and
it is the first time the United States
has assumed or expressed determine
ton to assert itself in Oriental affairs.
1t marks one more departure in our
diplomatic policy and adds another to
the long list of innovations which has
characterized the present administrar
ton. .a
In the PARTITION of China we have
taken no part. England, France, Rus
STA, Italy, Belgium. Japan and other
powers engaged in struggle for conf
mercial and political supremacy there,
have divided the territory among them
and have agreed not to interfere with
each other in the commercial and In
dustrial development of the provinces
they have selected. This allotment
has been recognized indirectly by the
government Of China i'll granting rail
way concessions. While this division
of the great empire has been going on
the United States has been invited by
the powers to participate and has been
appealed to by China to intervene for
it's protection, but it was determined
by the president and his advisers that
American domination should be eX-
tended no farther than the Philippines.
At the same time it was the duty OF
this government to protect this coun-
try's Asiatic trade Therefore it was
determined to request assurance that
it's commercial interests would not be
interfered with. These pledges have
been sent to our government and APP
proved. but with the understanding
that they will not be binding unless
signed by all the European powers in
terested, and at this time only Russia
holds out.
