where elaborate plans have been lasd
out for important experiments.

Through the efforts OF a rival concern,
scandal that was hushed up by the
war department year ago has become
public. The Drigg-Seabury Gun and
Ammunition Company, which was civ
en- free use Of government machinery
in the Frankfort arsenal, to enable it
to fill the contracts with this govern
ment, and while il was months behind
in its deliveries, it dropped U. s. work
and accepted two contracts for similar
work from the government of Colombia,
using the machinery belonging to this
government to make them. When Sec
rotary Roots attention was called to
the matter he asked the contractors to
explain, which they did by saying that
the Colombian contracts were profita-
BILE that they needed the money, or
words to that effect. And Secretary
Root accepted that as q satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION. But the end is not yet. The
rival company is threatening a suit in
court, and in any event the matter will
be heard from in congress.

1t has come ct last. Brownlow wins

Bristol. Knoxville will not be hurt in
q financial way, but she doesn't like to
be held up in such ''highwaymAn"

Q good excuse to listen to the suave

The friends of Mr.. Meiklejohn, late
assistant secretary Of war and present
candidate for the U. s. Senate before
the Nebraska legislature, are saying
publicly that he retired from the war
department voluntarily, while in pri-
vate they are saying unprintable things
about Secretary Root for pushing Mel
kleiohn ont, which they fear will queer
whatever chances he had for election
to the senate. Secretary Root was no
doubt actuated largely by selfshness
in getting an assistant secretary who
would perform the work of that Office
during the past six months Meikleiohn
has been away from Washington prac-
tically ell the time but has regularly
drawn his salary-but even he was, his
doing so was creditable as an indica,
ton Of his belief that man should no
draw public salary without perform
ing any public duties. 1t is also cred
table to Mr.. Root that he refused Il
be bluffed by Senators Plat and Depe7
and insisted on having Col. Sanger
his personal friend, for assistant score
tary of war.

"If some Of the good things that are
said Of man after he is dead were said
of him and TO him when he was alive,
this world would be much more salts

osophic and somewhat cynical senator,
who had been discussing the praise be-
slowed upon the late Hon. Benjamin
Harrison by prominent members Of his
party, who had for years lost no oppor-
tunity to sneer at him. 1t does seem
that the death of man of prominence
serves to bring out striking bits Of by
pocrisy in other men Of prominence.
Why, is one of those mysterious things
which no one is ever able TO account
for in any satisfactory way. 1t is
known to all the world that while he
was president, and since. Mr.. Harrison
was hated heartily by every prominent
member Of his party, for one or another
reason, but siuce his death these men
haye been trying to Guido each other
in saying extravaganza words of praise
Of him. The public is very forgetful,
but it isn't quite 80 forgetful as the
talk of these men indicates them to be.

j. herpont Morgan had a long pri-
Vate conference with Senator Hanna
in Washington day or two ago. 1t
was given out that the conference was
in regard to new annex to the big
steel trust, to control all vessels en-
gagged in carrying iron ore on the great
lakes, Mr.. Hanna being heavily inter-
ested in that traffic. 1t is also highly
probable that Mr.. Morgan issued few
orders for the administration to follow
in dealing with his trusts and other in
terests, prefering to give those orders
TO the man to whom he gave his big
campaign contribution, rather than di-
rectly to Mr.. Mckinley.

IN MEM0RIAM.

'Ts it so, oh Christ in Heaven, that
whichever way we go
Walls of darkness stand before us
things we would but cannot know?
That the infinite must bound us like q
temple veil unrent,
While the finite ever wearies, so that
none attain content?
The sudden death OF Mrs. Tate L.
Earnest, in the meridian of her days
and just when it seemed she was most
needed here, was shock to the COM
munity, and inestimable loss and an
unmeasured grief TO her family, and
gave sense of personal bereavement
to all who knew her. In Mrs. Ernest
were united o character of unusual
strength and loneliness, an attractive
person, winning manners, fine intel
ligence, a heart that harbored no guile
and lips that spake ne evil. To know
her was to love her, and to love her
once was to love her always. In every
relation Of life she put forth all her
powers to do her duty, and she made
duty lovable, pleasant privilege. But
it is not for us to tell of her beautiful
home life, her consistent walk as a
member of her chosen church, of her
loving kindness to those around her,
of her strong and unfaltering attach
ment to her friends, and of the deep,
unselfish love manifest in all she did to
her very own-mother, husband, and
children. Her pathetic death has EN-
phasized how absolute was their de-
pendence upon, and how imperative
their touching need of her.
AS representatives of the Monday
Club, OF which she was a member, we
have been appointed to give expression
to its sense of loss, and to the grief each
member of it feels at her untimely death
Reverently, with hearts sorrowing, We
speak OF our dead. Both in abilities
and in attainments Mrs. Earnest
was far above the average woman
A sense OF humor added to her compan.
condolences. Her reading was eXten
sive and wisely chosen. Whatever was
fine in literature appealed to her, and
her memory had stored away many o.
its choicest treasures.
The lives of all of us are touched By
the loss of our friend and companion
and if we looked at her death only
through "these poor, dim eyes of NOR
tails" it would seem oil unnecessary
and ihexplicable; but we wait in hope
until day-dawn, for we know that
"He has called her from her labors
While the shadows round her creep,
And silently watching over her
He giveth His beloved sleep"
We realize at such times how utterly
inadequate are words for our use. w
can only record here how sadly we mis-
a member SO loved, and tender to he
family our deep sympathy in this hou
Of bitterest trial, and try to solace on
hearts with the knowledge that
i "In Gods own time and way
Her hands are folded DER her breast
In the Amen of infinite rest"
We send copy OF this memorial t
the family, and the secretary will re
cord copy in the minutes OF the Mon
day Club, and request the press to pub
lish it.
