When Mr. st. John came South to
take up his work with the Seahoard
Air Line, he brought with MIN the
resistless spirit N his native State,
broadened by the bluf-heartcdness Of
the West and softened by experience
and a natural magnetism, without
which no man can succeed. He has
had TO fight the hatred of corpora

porationS themselves. Well has he
fought and nobly has he won. The

people suddenly awoke TO find him
backed by corporation money, doing
for them what no individual could
do. All along the Air Zine he has
taught the people by circulating IL
braries, by object lessons and by pie
MICS. In this last he has shown great
wisdom. Like Mr.. Williams, Mr.. st.
John is man Of native literary skill
and finish, the presentations of sub
jects ri different times by either Of
them being models of clearness aud
strength.
Under the management Of two such
men the greater Seaboard Air Line
system enters upon q career which
should have a meaning to the people
OF the South undreamed' of by them
now and a prosperity commensurate
with the resources Of country rich
with the promise Of a development
hardly yet begun.
In this last he has shown his great
est wisdom. Offer a child a bit of
sugar and il will swallow nauseous

Lessons pleasantly given produce a
better impression from such man,
who finds time amidst the severity Of

cordiality which. makes those about
Mr.. st. John love and admire him.

board Air Line gives lessons in beau
ty. cleanliness and higher living ut
every railroad station, and not salts
fled with this, at n great expense, it
sends experts and teaches people al
most in their own homes how to live
more wisely, pleasantly and more
economically. Too much praise and
who organize and carry through such
hnmanizing, elevating schemes as
this.
EXPERIMENT FARMS.
The Seaboard Hir Line has shown
itself keenly alive to the interest of
the people along its lines IT has of
ten hauled, free of charge, cords and
cords of wood for the poor. 1t has
established experiment stations along
its route, to show the farmers how to
raise other things than cotton, and
the cultivation of hops, broom corn,
Boston beans" and celery has been
successfully carried on.
THE SEABOARD AIR LINE BAND.
1t is said that corporations have no
soul This cannot be true of the Sea
board Air Line for it has n band, and
music cannot exist without soul and
a good deal of il. This band consists
of thirty-six pieces. and it's leader. Mr..
Maxim. has determined to make it the
leading band in the South. IT is com
posed of skilled artisans in the shops
and their proficiency as musicians
challenges admiration.
FINANCIAL BASIS.
The Railway Age Of June LIST has
this to say Of the Seaboard Air Line:
The present system owes its form
as we'll as its creation chiefly to the
persistent and effective efforts of the
president Mr.. John SHELTON Williams
and is the immediate result of under
takings entered into some eighteen
months ago by syndicate headed by
John l.. Williams d. Sons. of Rich

There is nothing in the career of Ma
poleon Bonaparte half so worthy of
admiration and hero worship as is
offered us in the life OF Mr.. st. John.
Napoleon rose from the ranks to be
Emperor Of France but his footprints
were married with blood, and when
ever he built up new glories for his
own country he had previously de-
stroyed them in other countries. Mr..
ST. John also rose from the ranks.
Only peace and prosperity have fol-
lowed in his footsteps. II seems al
most miraculous TO read what the man
has accomplished in his short life, and
there is much which necessarily re-
mains unwritten.
At eighteen he was clerk in the gen

with the Great Western Railroad of
Illinois. At 10 he began service

Of Interest to Parents.

Director Tappan has sent the follow
ing to the teachers of our schools.
We believe that patrons will approve
of the course outlined.
To THE TEACHERS
At close of school last night while
the children were on the way home
from school, l saw a little boy about
8 years old, one of the pupils, attempt
to "catch on" a heavy pair of sleighs.
He slipped, was caught across the
small of his back by the heavy runner
and pushed along in that dangerous
position distance of so feet, sight to
horrify and paralyze any parent. He
might have been crushed to death or
manned for life.
l realize how difficult it is for you to
look after these pupils after they leaye
your presence; but think the parents
of the community will uphold us in do
ing everything in our power to prevent
this dangerous practice, either durin &
school hours, or on the way to and
from school. Adopt your own meth
ods, but let us do something to stop it..
If necessary, the board will aid you in
every way possible.

a Yale Man In 1t.

We clip the following from the Daily
Pioneer-Times, published at Dead
wood, South Dakota:
Isaac Gibbard, of Rochester, n. Y.
and b. r.. Noble, of Yale, Mich, have
purchased thirteen claims near Custer,
containing the recent discoveries of ka-
oln clay, marble, onyx lithograph
stone and mica, and have organized
the Black Hills Porcelain Clay and
Marble Co. Mr.. Noble is president of
the company; Mr.. Glbbard vice presi-
dent, and Fred w. Wellington, of
Detroit, Mich, secretary and treasurer.
The company is capitalized at 5000 900
shares of par value of one dollar each.
II will begin operations at once upon
the marble, onyx, lithograph stone,
and kaolin clay, and it means the es-
tablishment of a gigantic industry in
Custer county within few months.
On the property that has been secur-
ed there are also large ledges of yarie-
gated marble, gray marble, and red
mottled marble. One of these marble
lodges is 40 feet wide. There is also
an immense body of tombstone gram
ite, that polshes finely, and would
make fine stone for building purpos-
es. In fact there is marble on the
property fit for any use to which mar
BILE could be put. 1t has been stated
by competent critics that the white
marble would be equal to the finest
Italian marble, by getting down far
enough on it to be beyond the influ-
ence of the weather.
There is ledge Of onyx IL feet
across, and some elegant specimens
have been taken out. To all appear
ances it is equal to any that is used in
the country, and it has been opened
up sufficiently to demonstrate that it
can be worked commercially.
Kaolin clay is largely used in the man.
ufacture of china and porcelain ware,
and in the manufacture of particularly
fine wedding paper. 1t is in big demand,
and seventy-five thousand tons Of it are
imported annually to this country from
Paris. for the use of the manufacturers.
On the property of this company, at
the base of Harney Peak, there is vein
of it twelve and half feet in width,
and going down into the earth, there
is no telling how far, and analysis
proves it to be a first-class article.

"Kingdom Beautiful"

The fourth treat in the Yale High
School course occurred in Central Hall
Wednesday evening, and consisted o.
IA lecture by ReY. ID. f. Croft, of Bos-
ton, who presented the topic of "King-
dom Beautiful" The speaker made
many good points and clinched them
with wonderful array of anecdotes
and witty illustrations. The general
effect of the lecture upon the audience
was uplifting and an inspiration to
better thought and life. The hearers
came away with the sense deeply inn
pressed upon them that the "Kingdom
Beautiful" was not a far away fancy
land, which few could see, live in and
enjoy; but each one might be kings
and queens in every day life, in the
soulful manner in which they might
do life's noble duties. There was an
immense audience present almost
every seat in both floor and gallery be-
ing filled. This speaks we'll for Yale's
taste for the higher classes of amuse-
ment, and our peoples appreciation
of the more solid form of mental food.

OBITUARY..

Died, at Brockway, where he has
lived for about 13 years, on Sunday,
March IL, 1900, VIM. Patterson, aged
~ years, 2 months, and 8 days. The
deceased had been in poor health for
long time and his departure was not
unexpected by his friends.
Mr.. Patterson was born in County
Down, Ireland, near Drommarra. He
came to this country in 1858, first TAX
ing up his residence in st. Clair, Mich.
During the war he enlisted in the lst
Michigan Engineers, in which regiment
he served about two years. For many
years he resided near Lakeport, in this
county, coming to Brockway in 1887.
He was married about 33 years ago,
and his widow still survives. To this
union were born two children, John,
who resides at home, and Mrs. VIM.
Wilkes, who resides in Brockway town
ship.
Mr.. Patterson was for many years,
previous to his death, member of the
NJ. Z. church. He was a thorough
Bible student, perhaps as well posted
on that books teachings as any man in
the county. He was great reader,
especially the older class of books. But
no class of reading was so interesting
to him as works on theology and kin
dred topics.
lie was a man of strong and clear
cut opinions. Neither his church or
political creed was obtained second
handed, but thought out for himself
and when adopted, openly avowed. He
was also conservative man, making
few changes in his opinions and rela-
tions, and as such was not liable TO be
blown about by every wind of doctrine.
He was. in spite of his conservatism,
very radical man in views and policies.
1t is to be regretted that the generation
of men, of whom he was type, are
fast passing away from the earth.
The funeral services occurred OH
Wednesday, the l4th, and the inter
ment made in Elmwood cemetery,
Rev. j. a. Rowe conducting the rites.
These obsequies were attended by
large company of friends and neighbors
who have long known and respected
the deceased.

INTERIOR oFlUNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER

Our nation is passing through e great
political crisis. Whether our national
policy is to be ono Of territorial expan-
sion, or whether we are to remain aloof
from International complications, is tho
supreme question confronting our Con-
gross. The attention of the world is di-
rected toward US. The deliberations of
cur Congress have come to be of inter
national Importance.
But this consideration affects only
our external welfare. Our domestic
problems are not one bit less import
ant. We have serious questions before
us that relate only to homo interests.
Chief among them is the health of our
people. Catarrh has already become q
national curse. Its ravages extend from
ocean to ocean. More than one-half of
the people are affected by it. It has be-
como such serious matter that 1t has
passed tho boundaries of the medical
profession and become q national ques-
ton. Senators arc talking about it;
congressman are discussing it. They
are not only considering the extent and
chronic nature of the disease, but the
possibility Of finding national remedy
to meet this national calamity.
