WILLIAM MCKINLEY

The earthly career of one of the
best presidents who has ever ruled
over the destinies Of this great ma
ton is closed. He was good in the
best sense of that word. He was
wise, he was noble in all his in
stincts, he was a statesman, and he
was devout Christian. His long
experience and upright character
alike fitted him for the exalted sta
ton he occupied. His counsels
guided the ship of state through
troublous waters and brought her
TO harbor of honor and supremacy
During his administration this coun-
try emerged from comparative OBJ
scurity TO shine as one of the world 5
greatest powers, known and re-
spected, wherever the flag which he
fought so gallantly to uphold, floats.
His noble life, his teachings, his
counsels, are engrafted in the hearts
of his people, and as the years roll
on their memory will add new lus.
ire to name which now illumines
one of the brightest pages of our
history. His work will be monu-
mont more enduring than the pol
ished marble, his record will ever
stand amid the sacred archives of
this land as one Of its proudest pos
sessions. The world weeps at his
glave and the legacy of his life, so
prematurely closed, is one of the
richest treasures which adorns his
country. His pathway in life, be-
ginning at an humble station, led
onward and upward until it reached
the loftiest sunlit summit of
achievement. No example in his
tory can be more alluring TO the
generations to come than that of
our martyred president, William
Mckinley.

REV. THOs. NICHOLS RnsIaas
Resolutions of Esteem at Parting
With Him After a Pastorate
of Eleven Years and
Half.

At a meeting of the congregation
of the First Presbyterian church of
Milford, Pike County, Pa, held on
Tuesday evening, September 10th,
1901, a communication from the pas
tor, the Rev. Thomas Nichols, was
read by the moderator, the Rev.
George r.. Gillespie, to the effect that
the congregation concur with him in
asking the Presbytery for dissolu-
tion of the pastoral relation and that
commissioners be appointed to petit
tion that body to grant his request
Mr.. Nichols felt impelled to take this
step because of his continued i'll
health. 1t had been hoped that his
malady would abate and that he
might again, after a temporary alb
sence, be able to resume his labors
but this hope having proved illusive
it has seemed necessary to him to
take this action. Therefore, ON ac-
count of their esteem for their pastor,
the following resolutions have been
framed by the committee who were
appointed by the congregation for
that purposes;
Whereas, Mr.. Nichols has labored
faithfully and earnestly with this
people for eleven and one-half years
and his labors have been signally
crowned with both spiritual and
temporal success;
And whereas his Christian deport-
ment has won for him an enduring
place in the church and community;
And whereas, because of physical
infrmity, it seems necessary that
these relations shall no longer con-
tinue;
Therefore, be it resolved that,
while we bow in humble submission
to the divine will, it is nevertheless
with great reluctance that we part
with our devoted pastor and able
preacher of Gods word under such
sad circumstances.
Furthermore we do most earnestly
commend him in his infirmity to the
tender mercies of God, praying that
he may speedily be brought back to
his accustomed health and strength
and that his declining years may be
even happier and more useful than
any that have gone before.
All of which is most respectfully
submitted. a

should cheerfully assist the efforts
Of the board Of health in furthering
this object. A quarantine may be
irksome and inoonvenient because
it restrains, but remember that
viewed in the sordid light Of dollars
and cents it may be less expensive
than funeral. and when the loss
of child or children is considered
there certainly can be no conpari-
son between that aud the annoyance

1aE GAVE lAW.

The letter of DIR. Joseph Kllbfus,
secretary of the state game commits
sion, published elsewhere, should
give parties who contemplate hunt
ing under the provisions of the
county law fair notice. The state
owns considerable land in the ooun-
ty and it proposes to allow hunting
over it, but the commonwealth will
insist that it must be done within
the law. Therefore any persons
found hunting on its domain in vio-
lation Of law will most likely be
prosecuted. After publication of
the letter referred to no one can
plead ignorance or justification with
good grace, and if caught and ar
rested 1t win not lie Ia their mouths
to say they had no notice or that
the state officials are prosecuting
them. This opinion was obtained
and is published because it was un-
derstood that parties have already
been hunting and that others con-
templated doing so under the coun-
ty law, believing it to be yet in
force, or having been so advised.
