Died, in the city of waupacs, Wis, at
nine o'clock Sunday evening, May 20, 1900
Mrs. Caroline Stearns Wheeler.
Mrs. Wheeler was the youngest daugh-
ter of Hon. j. K. Parish OF Randolph, Or
ange county, Vermont, in which village
she was born on the 26th OF October, 1913,
and was married at her father's home on
the 18th OF September, 1865, 10 F.F. Wheel
er. Mr. Wheeler is an attorney well
known IN northern Wisconsin, who, with
son and daughter, survives. Immedi-
ately after their marriage they came to
Waupaca, where they have resided most
OF the time since. She had many friends
and aequaiutances in Omro, Oshkosh,
Green Bay, 0conto who will sincerely
mourn her unexpected demise.
The death OF an old citizen who is well
and lovingly known, is a shock to the
whole community. This was particularly
the case in the death OF this esteemed lady
and calls for more than a passing notice.
Active and energetic, self-sacritieing in an
eminent degree in all works pertaining to
the church, sought after and influential
In all social matters, kind and unselhsh
in her works OF charity, generous TO
fault towards the unfortunate and needy,
It is no wonder that In all the walks of
life her mouners are many and their
grief sincere and heartfelt.
To her family the loss IS lrreparaDle, lot

gain, much TO our loss.
The funeral services, beautiful ana inn
pressive, were held from st. Marks

on Wednesday morning, May %, 1900, less
than one month having passed since the

such lives usually end. The quiet resig-

fell upon her like benediction, and as
life with its change and sorrows grew

and thus the poor. tired pilgrim entered
upon the higher life, where there is rest,
eternal rest for her and all like her, who
have performed life's duties so brsvely, so
cheerfully, making the world better by
their toll and notle example. Her broth

If he approaches them with the story
of their life in mind, the whole thing

the days when great passions were let

riots of death.

SLAMS KING WILL SOON BE HERE
The Exotic That He Desires Our
Free and Lovely Land.

After long deliberation and a thor
ough study of the ocean roads by which
he may reach this country, the King OF
Siam has announced his intention of
visiting the United States, if not in
the near future at least within six
months or before another cold winter
shall have settled down. The King be-
ing an exotic monarch, would find zero
uncomfortable and this fact would keep
him from seeing some of the most IN
teresting portions of the United states,
were he to make the trip in winter.
Often has the King travelled out of the
little oblong country into other lands
and several times has he been guest
of England. Between him and the Eng
lish Queen there is a strong bond or
sympathy, and it IS we'll known that he
respects her with feeling, which In
the Orient is called love.
It is now twenty-seven years since the
King, who is named Chulalongkorn as
shorter and more distinguished one than
the others which he bears, was placed up
on the throne of Siam. Though only
twenty at the time, he had a wife and
Immediately added other wives, increas-
ing as he saw pleasant.
No one in all Siam was sufficiently
royal for this boy king, 50 his half-sister
was selected for him, and he welded her,
and, as the Siamese story tellers will
relate, lived happily ever after with her
Certainly not even the oldest inhabitant
of Bangkok ever heard a row in the
picturesque palace, though there are
now five hundred wives living there; and
though the King spends almost all his
time in company with them and his
children, for he is a very domestic man
and loves the joys of the home.
At the time of his corona ton Siam was
an obscure country, known more in jest
than in reality. It's inhabitants were
supposed to be eccentric members OF
tie human family, uncivilized and next
to barbaric; and it is doubtful if the

HOW A CAMPAIGN
IS MANAGED.
Inc Immense Amount of Detail Pre-.
lminary to the Great Presi-
Dental Elections.

The ordinary citizen who has little
knowledge of political affairs has onlv
the vaguest kind of an idea as to fba
detal IN the machinery of the manage
ment OF Presidential campaign. For
some reason it has come to be supnosed
that a Presidential election is a sDonta-
neous outburst of favor on the parr of
the people, and it is not improbable that
this description might have been applied
to elections half a century or SO ago.
Of late years there has been Il great
change in things political until to-day
when the machinery that must be mt
IN motion before a campaign can be car
rled out is as complicated and as exact
III every detail as if the work to be
done was that of great railroad system
1t was not many years ago when
money was not as necessary in the con-
duct of campaign as it is to-day. A
certain amount of money was of course
requisite, but beyond that nothing was
needed, and the chairman of committees
even twenty-five years ago would not
have known how to get rid of the i'm
mense amounts of money that are now
expended in the carrying out of a Presi-
Genital campaign.
In 1864, when there was grave doubt
as " NAAC AC"tiGNliOu Oh Lincoln, consider
able money was subscribed, so much that
politicians everywhere regarded the fund
with amazement and yet the sum that
was at the disposal of Henry J. Raw
mond, the committee chairman, at this
time would seem ridiculously small to
campaign managers to-day.
Prior to the Lincoln campaign money
had received comparatively little atten-
ton. but since that time it has entered
more and more into politics. When the
first step was taken the way was opened
for scores of innovations and improve
ments in the political machinery that
little by little have brought it to it's
present state of comparative perfection,
and some idea of the extent of this i'm
provement may be gathered from the
fact that whereas it was possible to
carry on the Grant campaign by the ex-
penditure of less than 100000 it is
safe to say that the campaign of 1896
cost the Republican party and the Demo-
Gratis not less than $4,0O0,00O, all told,
all of which was devoted to legitimate
expenses,

The Kingdom of Siam has in its long
history had several changes of dynasty.
But just as all the Roman Emperors
were Caesars and the old Egyptian
monarchs Pharaohs, so all Siamese kings
have borne the half-name half-title Of
Phra, which indeed is probably closely
akin to Pharaoh.
The present dynasty according to the
late Phra Chomklau Chau Yu Hua,
or Somdetch Phra Naha Mongkut, father
and predecessor of the present King,
was founded by a family living formerly
in the city of Hanswatty, in Pegu. Mem
bers of this family became great Min

first Siamese Embassy to France, in the
reign of Louis XIV Another, about the

great majority of Englishmen and Amer

through the immortal Siamese twins.
These youngsters of Siam, joined by n
ligament, were the curious connecting
link between Siam and the world
As soon as the young King became
firmly seated upon the silver and tur-
quoise throne which is Slams greatest
possession, he began the making of new
laws. These We're along the lines of
progress and reform such as existed, he
had read, in other countries, where the
work of man was done by powers Of
mechanism. The labor saving principle
was in his head, and he carried it out.
Immediately after his coronation Chu-
lalongkorn began work of reform and
progress which has now reached results
of magnificent proportions. He began
by adopting, save on special occasions,
European dress. He abolished the old
form of salutation, by touching the fore
head to the ground, and babe his visitors
walk up to him and shake hands like
men.
He proclaimed religious liberty
throughout his realm, and decreed the
protection of Christians in their OBJ
seIvance of the Sabbath.

dicial branches of the Government, light
ened taxation, partially abolished slave
ry, opened new canals and roads, estab-
lished an admirable postal service, built
telegraphs, lighthouses and railroad,
surveyed and improved all navlgable
waters, founded fine system of public
schools, built hospitals, asylums, temples
and art museums, introduced innumer-
able useful inventions, and set to his
people personally an admirable example
of vlrtuous, temperate, industrious, up
right and exalted manhood.
LIKES THE ENGLISH.
In doing this he found it necessary to
take journeys into the world and, so.
England and the continent were shown
him. He journeyed everywhere, saw ev-
erything, and studied all he saw. His
sons, too, grew to benefit by this pater-
nal progress. One went to the English
Naval Academy; another to Elton; both
were bright; and soon they became more
English than Siamese On their trips
home they took modern furniture and
the drawingroom at Bangkok soon came
to resemble the grand salon at Windsor.
Even the bric-a-brac was mOdernized,
and in place of the hideous little idols
and squatty jars there were choice pieces
Of statuary and the busts of celebrities.
These trips have been described with
much spirit by visitors to Bangkok who
declare that the Siamese sons are every
whit as English as the sons of the Eng
fish Queen.
The King himself did not enjoy all
these advantages of education, but has
made up for it since, and is, as far as
Orientals go, extremely civilized. He
dresses in the European fashion, his
clothes being made by the best London

Several Hints for Those

This is the time when the eyes of the
world are turned toward Paris. For
many people the present summer means
the opportunity for their first view of
life on the Continent and they are look
ing forward to their experience with the
most delightful anticipatiOns. There is
a certain glamour about Paris, that is
possessed by no other city in the world.
Even the confirmed globe-trotter and the
habitual tourist are never entirely obliviOus
to the sentimental influence that the city
exerts, while to the novice in touring,
the first visit to the French capital, the
first sight of French life and the French
people are fraught with intoxicating an
ucipatiOns.
While it is true that many of these
anticipations will probably be realized
by those who visit Paris in the proper
way and with the proper spirit, there
are certain hints that may be given that
may aid the novice in the labor of avoid
ing pitfalls, or assist him to take full adj
vantage Of the countless opportunities
for sightseeing that this visit will pre-
sent to him. OF course the first sight
to be seen is the Exposition; but, so far
as that is concerned every man may be
his own guide.
In the Exposition grounds each man can

lives.

The Darkest England" scheme has
proved the genuineness of the principles
on which we affirmed at the outset that
work for the outcast poor should be car
ried on. l am not sure that this is not,
after all, the most valuable result of the
experiment. What are these principles?
Character must be changed in order to
assure a change of conduct. 1t is folly
to expect that any alteration in the en-
vironment of the individual will affect
any abiding improvement in his moral
condition. 1t is the man you want to
alter.
Every man must work out his own
salvation, or it will not be worked out at
all. The drunkard, the loafer, the IN
fortunate must be a co-Worker in effect
ing the deliverance desired.
Industry is necessary to reformation.
Where there has been the ability we have

man win not work neither shall he eat
| Nothing for nothing" is the rule, vigor-
ously carried out through every branch
of our operations.
Then, also. without discipline little car
be done with these classes. To take hold
of men. and women who have from theiI
childhood been Ishmaelites, whose very
ruin has come because they would not be
subject to any decent rules of living OF
working, and make them not only willing
but cheerfully obedient to orders and
regulations, has been one of our most
difficult tasks.

bureau" and since that time it has be-
come one of the most important features
in political work, the bill of the Repub-
lican party for printing alone in 1896
being, it is said, more than 100000.
As the organizations that managed the
campaigns of 1896 were the most perfect
that had yet been effected, it is but
natural that one should refer to its work
when outlining the labors that must be
accomplished by the organization of 1900.
Prior to 1896 it had been the custom for
political parties to locate their head
quarters in New York. In that year,
however, this custom was changed, and
both parties decided upon Chicago as the
head centre from which the great po-
litical wires could best be laid.
It was Il unique innovation, but it
turned out so satisfactorily that the same
location will probably be selected this
year. From these headquarters viii ex-
tend wires, the influence of which will
be felt in every hamlet in the United
States.
1t is difficult for the uninitiated to fully
appreciate the immense amount of work
that must be accomplished by the nation
al committee within an extremely short
time. Upon the adjournment of the
convention practically nothing has been
done, but within a few days at the most
the wonderful machine must be set in
motion.
1t is the effort of the committee to set
the citizens of the country thinking along
given lines and to accomplish this there
are many things that must be done.
The country must be flooded with litera-
ture, not cheap, poorly printed dodgers,
but books and pamphlets written by the
