"Ladies of the Carter"


The creation of Queen Alexandra as 4
LADY of the Garter is the revival of an old
practice usual in the early history of that
order. Although nothing is now known of
the form of admitting ladies into its ranks
the description applied to them in the rec
ords during the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries leaves no doubt that they were
regularly received into it. The Queen Con-
and some other women of exalted position
were designated Danes de la Fraternite
de St George" and entries of the deliv-
cry of robes and carriers to them are found
at intervals in the wardrobe accounts
from 1876 to 1895. The efligies of Margaret
Byron, wife of Sir Robert Harcourt. h. e.,
at Stanton Harcourt, and of Alice Chau-
Ger. wife of the Duke of Suffolk, IA G., at
EweIme which date from the relgnS or
Henry VI and Edward ~, have carriers
on their LEFT arms.
In 1881 an attempt was made TO revive
the nractice of issuing the ensigns of the
order to ladies'. The chancellor of he or
der moved the sovereign that the wives of
the knights Companions might have the
privilege of wearing IA garter OF the order
about their arms. and an upper robe at
festive times according to ancient usage"
The matter was referred by Charles | to
the Queen, and another chapter was ap-
pointed for the purpose of taking 1t into
final consideration. But, owing to circum-
stances over which Charles | had no con-
troll. nothing further was done. and 1t has
remained for King Edward VII TO revive
a practice which lapsed more than four
centuries ago.

TO this class belong tolls for land mi
mails. trammels and gill nets for equa-
tic animals.
Among the archeologic treasures Of
our National Museum are many net-sink-
ers. which would lead US to the conclu-
sion that netting is an old art among the
aborigines. The great majority of mesh
ing devices are for aquatic animals, but
tribes on the coast of British Columbi 4

order TO capture migratory geese and
ducks.

they fell tree for browse and when hee

leSg by means of pole that starts up
and catcheth him.
"Clutching devices are best exemplified
by bird-lime. Of which last there is not
a specimen in the Natural Museum. The
ordinary jaw trap of the hunters may be
placed in this class; the common steel rat
trap is a good example. 1t is possible that
spring nets may have been used in GER
tain parts of America before the discov-
cry, but the principle involved in the me
tallic clutching trap was not known.
The Professor includes under the class
of killing trap: the weight-fall, dead-fall

A more subtitle device can scarce be con-
ceived than the form of trap known as
the wolf-knife. sharpened blade was

trap was common in Alaska.

Gloucester County's Democratic Com

unanimously endorsed ex-Congressman
Terrell for the Democratic nomination for
Governor, being inspired to this action by
the report that they had simply nominated
him as s'favorite SOM that the delegates
might be delivered to some other candidate
at the proper time. They are exceedingly
hopeful of his nomination and sanguine
that their efforts are to be crowned with
success. Mr.. Terrell has elements Of
strength possessed by no other candidate it
must be admitted, and it will be lively

and the other counties in South Jersey to
roll up their biggest vote should he be
named as the candidate

The Public Ledger's New Jersey political
article last Monday had the following to
say of Gloucester County's Gubernatorial
candidate =
'sAt this writing strong tide has set in
for the nomination by the Democrats of
former Congressman sTom'' Terrell, as
the working mans candidate" Mr.. Fer
rell stands well with his party, and has
participated in its hardest fought battles.
Once he defeated Secretary of the Navy
Robson for Congress in strong Repub-
lican district. With the new life in the
labor organization Of the State in the
past few years, the politicians have been
more careful than ever not to jeopardize
this class. That Terrell would appeal to
them strongly, and, at the same time, hold
fast the allegiance of old time Democrats,
sometimes characterized as conservative,
is beyond dispute. Many Democrats be
lieve that he is the one available man al
this time, in view of the expected nomina
ton of Mr.. Murphy by the Republicans, OF
the ground that he is all that Mr.. Murphy
is not. ~

Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. a.
President Mckinley died at 215 a. m.
He had been unconscious since 750
p. N. His last conscious hour on
earth was spent with the wife to
whom he devoted a life time of care.
He died unattended by minister Of
the gospel. but his last words were
an humble submission to the will of
the God in whom he believed. He was
reconciled to the cruel fate to which
an assassin's bullet had condemned
him, and faced death in the same

His last conscious words, reduced to
writing by Dr. Mann, who stood at his
bedside when they were uttered, were
as follows:
Goodbye All goodbye. 1t is Gods
way. His will be done, not ours"
Before 6 o'clock last evening it was
clear to those at the Presidents bed
side that he was dying, and prepare
lions were made for the last sad Of
fees of farewell from those who were
nearest and dearest to him. Oxygen
had been administered steadily, but
with little effect in keeping back the
approach of death. The President

in this period, when his mind was
partially clear, occurred a series OF
events of profoundly touching char

tear-stained faces, members of the
cabinet were grouped in anxious wait
ing. They knew that the end was
near, and that the time had come
when they must see him for the last
time on earth. This was about 6
o'clock. One by one they assembled
the stairway Secretary Root, Secre-
tary Hitchcock and Attorney General
Knox. Secretary Wilson also was
there, but he held back, not wishing to
see the President in his last agony.
After they left the sick room the
physicians rallied the President to
consciousness, and he asked almost

Despite the fact that vitality con
tinued to ebb as midnight approached
no efforts were spared to keep the
spark of life glowing. DR.. Janeway,
of New York city, arrived at the Buff
falo depot at 11.40 o'clock. George

drove at a Rrealneck pace to the

an examination of the almost mani

Secretary of the Navy Long arrived

This was his first visit to the CITY,
and he had the extreme satisfaction
of seeing the President alive, even
though he was not conscious of his

a doubt that in the approaching death
of the President a complete change
in the executive administration of the
government would ensue. When Mr.
Roosevelt would take the oath of office
was wholly matter of conjecture.
President Arthur took the oath al

and in that case Justice Brady, of New

Before these lines reach a majority OF
our readers all that is mortal of William
Mckinley will be laid in the family tomb
at Canton, Ohio; his spirit passed to Him
who gave it at 2.15 a. M, last Saturday,
the 18th inst.
Such is the painful ending of the anarch-
lists bullet fired into his body with deadly
intent on the 9Th inst.
The nation mourns this triumph Of
anarchy; the nation to-day is bowed with
grief about its martyred Presidents bier.
Here in Woodbury., and all over our land,
citizens of all shades of political beliefs,
excepting one, mourn the temporary
triumph of anarchy, and with her who is
the chief mourner will gather about his
open grave and bear testimony to their love
of the principles of which he was made the
martyr.
Anarchy has triumphed in bringing sor-
row to the land, but in striking with fatal
force one heart it has not palsied the hand
nor the heart of the nation; it has
removed q life, ended useful career,
brought desolation to one home, but in the
accomplishment of its purpose (as its pur-
pose is understood it has committed fatal
blunder.
The American Union lives and will live,
the millions of strong hearts that comprise
it will outlive this thirst for innocent blood
will shackle and make odious the scheme Of
assassination for governmental destruction,
and arise from this perio mourning
re-baptized and consecrated to the cause Of
constitutional government.
Political divisions here extend not to the
foundation stones Of the Republic they
are theoretical rather than fundamental.
Such trials as these are proof Of this truth.
The hand that struck the President aimed
its shaft at every man who owns allegiance
to the flag; at every institution of our gov
eminent; at every home, and at every fire
side. 1t aimed to disrupt and tear down
Che edifce of the fathers and make fol
naught the labor of the best government
builders the world has ever produced
Anarchy's first blow in America has filled
the land with sorrow; it has sent tremol
of amazement into every heart, and it ha:
caused a rude awakening, too. An awak-
ening to the fact that this must not Longer

erty Of license, or the liberty to destroy.

Governor,s Proclamation.

The dreaded event has come and a
nation mourns. The mad deed of an
enemy of mankind has ended the life of
soldier, statesman and Christian.
Treason has done its worst. A peo-
pies chosen ruler sleeps the sleep that
knows not breaking. Henceforth the life
of William Mckinley, President of the
United States, is memory. But, as on
the pages of an open book, to be read of
all men are written the deeds of one, in
youth Drawing the dangers of battle and
offering his life as ready sacrifice for
his country; in the years of manhood,
serving the people long, earnestly and
unselfishly, he lived to see the fulfill
ment of his hopes coming nearer. He
thought not of the hatred of any, and
yet, in the fullness of his honors, strong
and well beloved, his last public words
were those of hope and good will. He
fell suddenly as in the twinkling of an
eye. Horror stirs our souls and grief
lays its hold upon us, but the life Of
William Mckinley and his gentleness,
heroism and undaunted courage when
death drew near. endear him to the
will abide for generations to come. In
the hope that his death may strengthen
the life of the nation, and that He, in
whose hands are all events, may watch
over us as people and keep our rulers
from all harm and that we may be wit
ness to our grief for our president dead !:
l, Foster M. Voorhees,, Governor Of
New Jersey, do hereby recommend that
the public buildings be draped in mourn
ing and the flags thereon be placed at
half staff for thirty days, and that on
Thursday, the nineteenth day of Septem-
Der, nineteen hundred and one, the day on
which the body of the dead President
will be laid in its last resting place, the
people of this State do cease, SO far as
they can, from their usual business, and
in their usual places Of worship gather
together for prayer and other appropriate
services, at the hour Of eleven o'clock in
the forenoon of that day.

HoWIsoN WAS REJECTED
Court of Inquiry Sustained Admiral
SchIey's Protest.

Schley's Protest.
Washington, Sept. 13.-Within three
hours from the time of converting the
court of inquiry yesterday it was an
nounced that Rear Admiral Howison
was disqualified from serving as a
member of the court and was excused
from further duty. This brought the
proceedings to an abrupt termination,
and caused temporary adjournment
of the court in order to permit the
navy department to designate an off,
Ger to succeed Admiral Howison.
The first skirmish was opened quietly
by Admiral Schley rising from his seat
and speaking in strong voice, calmly
and deliberately, challenging Admiral
Howisons eligibility as member of
the court. Three witnesses were
brought forward in support of this
challenge, namely, Mr.. Francis S.
Frost, Mr.. William q. Spon and Mr..
Foster Nichols.
Frost said that Howison had told
him that Sampson had arranged the
campaign and the order of battle. 1t
had worked out according to his plans,
and he was therefore entitled to the
credit for the victory. Frost said:
"Howison said that Schley was not as
competent as Sampson. He was not
as highly regarded by naval officers.
He did not have as high standing. l
was impressed with the fact that How
ison had no use for Schley personally.
He said he was rash, hot-headed, and
not SIMPSONS equal
During the cross-examination Admi-
raj Howison said very emphatically:
II have not the slightest desire to force
myself on this court I do not want
to sit on it. It is not agreeable duty
for me. i have no desire whatever to
do it; and I am not making any ex-
cuses for myself or for any of my
private discussions with any one out
side. / think that is my own affair,
and nobody else is asked about these
private discussions. l am perfectly
willing to get OUT
The inquiry will usreme its ses-
sions on Friday morning. Definite
plans for the daily work of the court
have not been completed, but the ex-
pectation is two sessions will be held
daily.
