Reared in a Cody Home.
1T was humble home in which he was
born. Narrow conditions were around
MIN; but faith in God had lifted that lowly
roof, according to the statement of some
great writer, up to the very heavens and
permitted its inmates to behold the things
eternal, immortal and divine; and he came
under that training. It is beautiful thing
that to the end of his life he bent rever-

mo stain was upon his escutcheon; no
syllable of suspicion that ever heard was
whispered against his character. He
walked In perfect and noble self-control.
Beyond that this man had somehow
wrought in him-I suppose upon the foun-
dations of very happily constructed ma
ture-a great and generous love for his
fellowmen. He believed in men. He had
himself been brought up among the COM
mon people. He knew their labors. strue-
giles, necessities. What he was in the mar

purvieW and desire to help all classes and
conditions of men, all Municipalities beside
his own. 1t was this man.
The Beautiful Home Life.

l WILL hardly advert to?' The tenderness
OF that domestic love which has so often
been commented upon? pass it with only
that word. take it that no words can set
forth fully the unfaltering kindness and
:carefulness and upbearing love which be-
longed to this great man.
And he was man who believed in right.
who had profound conviction that the
courses OF this world must be ordered in

WILL never be reached; that no nation can
expect success in life except as it conforms
to the eternal will of the infinite Lord and

Great Concourse of People Pays Last
Respects to Dead President.
As soon as the rotnnda was cleared
of those who had been invited to at
tend the religious services, the bier
was prepared for the inspection of the
general public. The floral offerings
which covered the coffin were put aside
and the lid was lifted from the head of
the coffin. Some time was required to
put things entirely in order and it was
1880 before the throng which had been
waiting from early morning on the out
side was admitted.
AS the coffin rested upon the cata-
falque it was just about high enough
to permit of easy inspection by adults.
The crowd entered through the east
door of the capitol and passed out
through the west exit. The people
came in double file, one line passing to
the right and the other to the left of
the casket. Only a hurried glance was
permitted to see anyone, as it was an
nounced that the ceremony would close
promptly at $3.50 o'clock. Whenever
there was an attempt to linger espe-
cially over the casket, as there was in
many instances. the person making it
was admonished by the capitol police
to "pass on When they still remained

tainted and others were more or less
hurt. The crowd consisted of men,
women and children, and all colors and
ages were represented. Many children
were carried through the building in
the arms of their parents. As the
body of the dead president lay in state
it was guarded by representatives of
all branches of the nations martial
service, under command of Gen. w. F.
Randolph, chief of artillery. Directly
at the head of the casket stood ma
rine, who faced another at the foot.
On each side of the marine at the head
stood an artilleryman, while the ma
rine at the foot of the casket was
fanked by seamen. Other artillery
men, seamen and marines formed a
lane through which the people passed.
Back of them on either side was a
line of floral pieces. There were over
hundred of these. The whole scene
was photographed scores of times.
Apparently the throng was in an ap-
prehensive state of mind, for every
time flashlight picture was taken
piteous screams were heard from the
people about the entrance.

Showed Defects.

D. B. White, of the state dairy de-
partment, claims that some of the men
who have been winning premiums at
fairs need instruction in the art Of
butter-making. That at the state fair
was scored on Monday of fair week,
and on Saturday a second inspection
was made by experts, when it was
found that some of the prize-winning
product had greatly deteriorated in
flavor, which proved that there was
something radically wrong With the
methods of the prize-winners. The
state dairy department will try to To-
cate the defects.

During the six days OF fair week the
conductors in the employ of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company collected
2,265 ,032 fares, of which 46s, 235 were
in the shape of transfers. The increase
over the corresponding week of last
year was about 16 per cent. The
mileage covered by the company's cars
was 347, 64s miles, and there was not a
single accident. The biggest day Of
the week was Thursday, when 42e, Ill

Fair. Receipts.

The total number Of admission tick
cts taken at the state fair during the
entire six days of it's session was 1885,
5s4, against 1876, 279 for the year 1900.
This number does not represent the
total number of persons who entered
the grounds, for there were many tick
cts issued for two persons. Every day
of the week beat the corresponding day
for last year.
When all the money is collected and
all expenses paid, there will be very
nice balance. The money will be used
in fitting up the grounds and increas-
ing the facilities, in order that next
years fair may be better and brighter
than the one just closed. The state
fair management already has decided
to expend portion of the surplus for
the erection Of new sheep barns and
other improvements, which, it is ex-
pected, will be decided upon soon.

the foundations of the town. but not in a fashion
that would permit Mr.. Mines seismOgraphs to
take note thereof The disturbance is purely
local. and not felt at any distance away from
the town itself
The secret of this singular phenomenon is that
NOrthwich lies directly over valuable deposits
of salt. and the latter has been extensively
mined. OF course if the salt We're deep enough
to leave a considerable thickness Of earth above
it, removal might not work any mischief. or
if suitable pillars were left here and there in
the workings sustain the roof. equal immu-
nifty might be enjoyed Evidently, however.
there has been carelessness in the management
of the mines. and the result is only what might
have been expected.
There are two strata of salt under the town.
one comparatively near the surface and the
other $50 feet down. These are mined inde-
pendentIy. The removal of the lower stratum
probably makes little difference with the situa-
ton above. But excavation in the other one
causes almost hourly sUbsidences of buildings.
