Washington Dec Representative
McCleary of Minnesota has addressed the
following letter to some $500 persons,
those addressed being representative men
in each state and territory in the union:
1T has been suggested to me by sew
eral men interested in national banks and
deSirouS of rendering them as useful as
possible to the communities in which they
are located. that it would be well to to
permit national banks in the smaller
places, where the clientele of the banks
is largely rural to loan portion of their
resources on real estate securities. If
the proposition seems wise to those who
i may. introduce a bill after the holidays
providing for the amendment. With that
ment in the matter and I will appreciate
an early answer to the following ques-
''First-Do you believe that such an
amendment would be in the public inter-
.'Second-If your first answer be affirm
ative, where would you draw the line be-
those that may not make such loans2
Would you make the capitalization of the
bank, or the population of the town where
classifi cation? Why?
what would you specify in the amend
ment2 Thai, is. would YOU grant the per-
capita of the bank or as to a certain
percentage of its loanable funds? Why?
40 per cent of the capital of the bank have
been made.l
OuFlL-N OulO you llInll the operation
of amendment to farm loans OF would you
include town property? Why?
''Fifth-WOuld you permit loans under
the amendment on first mortgages only,
or would you permit such loans as meet
the approval of the board of directors?
Why?
''Sixth-Would you require that all loans
under the amendment should have the ap-
proval of the directors before being made?
Why?
'Seventh-Have you any other sugges-
tions to the proposition of amend
ment, if it should be made?
''Eighth-Are you willing to have
quote you on the above points in any re-
marks that I may make on the subject?''

END COMES
TO SEWELL.
United States Senator From
New Jersey Passes Away
After an Illness Which Has
Lasted Two Years.
NATIVE OF IRELAND.
Served Through Civil War and
Became a General.
Was Serving His Third Term in
the Senate.
NATIVE OF IRELAND.

Camden, N. J., Dec! 27.-United States
Senator VIM. j. Sewell died at his home
here at $50 a today. He suffered
from diabetes, complicated with Stom-
ach and heart trouble. Senator SewellS
illness had extended over a period of
two years, but his condition was not
considered serious until about year
ago. His constant attention to the du-
ties devolving upon him in his official
capacity resulted in 1899 in a collapse.
A trip to Europe was beneficial ana
he. soon recovered sufficiently to re-
sumo his duties.
Toward the end of the last session of
congress he developed a complication OF
diseases, and acting on the advice of his
physicians again visited various health
resorts in Europe. Upon his return his
condition showing no Improvement, SEN
ator SeweH went. to Asheviile, N c.,
where he remained two months He re-
turned to his home about four weeks
ago, and for a few days slight inn
prOvement in his condition was noted.
Within the past two weeks succession
of sinking spells greatly weakened him
and compelled his physicians to aban
don the hope of prolonging his life When
gathered at his bedside. He had been
unconscious for some time before the
end.
SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
William Joyce Sewell, of Camden, was
born in Ireland in 1885, and came to this
country at an early age. He engaged
in mercantile pursuits and at the out
break of the civil war was commits
stoned a captain in the Fifth New Jer-
Sey volunteers He served during the
war, and was brevetted brigadier gen
eral for distinguished services at Chan
cellorsville, and major general for gal
liant services during the war. He was
wounded at Charlottesville and Gettys-
burg.
After the war Senator Sewen became
connected with the railroads in New
Jersey, branches of the Pennsylvania
from Camden county in 1872, was re-
elected in 1875 and again in 1878 and
was president of the senate in the years
1876, 1879 and 1880 when his party was
in power. While yat & member of the
legislature he was elected to the United
States senate in 1881 as the successor of
Theodore T. Randolph and served until
elected a delegate to the national Re
publican convention of 1876 1880, 1884
1888, 1892, 1896 and 1900 and on eacn
occasion was made chairman of his
delegation. He was one of the commits
SionerS for New Jersey at the Worlds
fair in Chicago. He was vice president
of the board of managers of the Ma
tional Home for disabled volunteer SOL
diers and was also in command of the
National Guard of New Jersey He
was also connected with the manage
ment of various banks, trust com panieS
and philanthropic societies. At the op-
ening of the war with Spain he was ap-
pointed major general but at the re-
quest of his fellow members in the Uni
ted States senate did not take the field.
He was reelected to the United States
senate in 1895 to succeed John r. Nc
Pherson, Democrat, and was again re-
elected in 1901.

TEACHING OF MUSIC.
Subject Ably Discussed by Prof VIM
Tomkins.

Kansas teachers secured a good many
new ideas from the lecture on music
in the public schools by Prof William

Tomkins is recognized as the foremost
authority in America on this subject.
He said that mere sound was not the
only thing essential to the proper mu-

training We're done in such a manner
as to influence the mind, heart and will
