Death OF Mrs. l.. A. Parks.

Mrs. Augusta +. Parks, II, wife of L.
A. Parks, died at about o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, after an illness extending over
nearly year On June 70, just four
weeks before her death, Mrs Parks fell,
fracturing her hip, which in her already
weakened condition, probably only fastened
the end, which would have come soon, if
she had not met with the accident. Through
out her long and tedious illness her suffer
iugs were borne unmurmuringly and with
Christian patience and forttude. She was
a native of Winchendon, Mass, but the
larger part of her life had been spent in
Hinsdale. She was a prominent member
of the Methodist church, with which she
became identified many years ago, and in
its interest she has been a Jealous worker,
and where she will be greatly missed, as
well as in her own home Because of her
failing health Mr. and Mrs Parks closed
their home on Nov. 10 and came to live
with their daughter, Mrs. w. f. Fay, by
whom Mrs Parks has been tenderly cared
for during her illness Mrs Parks is sur
vived by her husband and one daughter,
Mrs W E. Fay. She also leaves three
sisters, Mrs. Joseph Priest of Winchester
and Mrs. George p. Wellington and Miss
Ellen Howard of Hinsdale There is also
one grandson, Clarence Fay, to whom she
was devotedly attached. Funeral services
were held at the Main street residence of
| DR.. w. f. Fay this afternoon at 100
o'clock and were conducted by Rev. +. j..
| Deane, pastor of the Calvary Methodist
church. The burial was in Pine Grove
cemetery.

10 RESIDENT s'l y 4 z M'KrNL " \: y LEY's letter
Of acceptance is probably the most
important unofficial document is-F
sued in this country in q quarter OF .
century. The President takes the coun-
try into his onddence and throws 4 new
light upon the history Of the past two
years Irrespective Of Its caustic arraign-
sment Of the critics OF the administers
and its forceful clinching Of the fact that
Organism means the "immed late de-
struction Of the gold standard and SUBJ
stitution therefor Of free silver coinage
at the ratio of 16 to 4, the letter lis i'm. I'M
portant in the historic sense because It
gives the American people their first
knowledge Of the statesmanship and con-
aditions connected with recent epoch max,
ing events. fsS q N
The President, although By nature q
a mild and conciliatory man, can be arols-
ed to a point Of dangerous combs ativeness,
and when the mood is on him he becomes
one Of the most effective debaters we
have mad in this country for many years.
In his letter he wastes no time in what
might be called preliminary sparring, but,
! having definitely located the enemy's
vital spot, which is the free silver heresy,
he strikes at it with force and precision.
The financial question, he says, may not
4 be the paramount issue, but it is the im-
mediate issue. "It will admit OF no de-
lay and will suffer no postponement"
For has not the Democratic party declar-
ed for the Immediate" coinage Of silver
at ratio Of 16 to 17 And is there any
doubt that Mr.. Bryan, who insisted upon
the insertion Of the silver plank in the
platform, against the advice of the best
men in the party, will use every means,
If he is elected, to carry his principles
into practice?
After paying the tribute Of his regret
that the Democratic party BY its nominee
and It's reiteration Of the free silver plank
Of 1896 has made it necessary for the
voters to reafirm their decision Of four
years ago in favor Of the existing gold
standard, President Mckinley boldly
picks UP the gage Of battle on the issue
of Imperialism. What that issue is he
states most happily in a single paragraph
near the end of his letter. After he has
marshaled the facts which place the
whole controversy in the clearest posi-
BILE historical light before the reader, he
says: z# f.s 5s$ 5s 3
The American. question is be- L.
tween duty and desertion-the
z T American verdict will be for duty
and against desertion, for the Re-
public against both anarchy and
imperialism.
AS a campaign document the letter il
regarded as phenomenally strong. Bu
lit is more than campaign document ID
is contribution to history. The Presi
dent deals candidly with the America
people. He is not afraid B to tell then
,what,5h has done or why he did it. III
deals in facts rather than in arguments

on which the hrst, was fought and won. y. s
While regretting the reopenlng OF this
