boat ran with little vibration and her en-

over the course six times. and 1t was not

keep up the 3o.S clip for two hours. and
the question now is If she can keep up a

a willingness to donate $780, for the
building Of public library in Syracuse,
provided the city will furnish a suitable

Senator Fairbanks spoke slowly and
earnestly yesterday as he referred to his
friends death. "He was a worker, a
faithful worker said he. "a man who
never gave up when he felt it his duty to
press or further in what he had under
taken. Personal comfort was not a con-
sideration with him. He had his ideal of
duty, and tried 20 live up to it. His po-
litical life was made up of this kind of
personal sacrifice. and 1t could never be
said of him that he deserted a friend or
adherent in peril. nor that he left stone
unturned wher r. could serve them

and stood by him while day after day he
expended what was best In him on the

ranks, and by his own labor and his own
hands. He hired farm in Indiana when
he was young fellow, and worked it so
successfully that later he was able to buy
it. Then he bought the adjacent far.as
and so built up his fortune. He had seen
some service in the war. but was essen
TALLY a practical agriculturlst. and it
