DAVID BOYD.

After an illness of considerable
duration MIR. Boyd died at the home

Broad street early Sunday morning,
April %, of paralysis. He was
born June 10, 1928, near Stockholm,
Sussex county, N. j., and came to
Pike county about thirty years ago,
since which time he has engaged IN
farming in this vicinity. His es-
timable wife died about ten years
ago and he then retired from active
pursuits and came to live here. He
was a good citizen, of quiet dispo-
sition, attending strictly to his own
affairs and by his conduct and de-
meanor won many friends.
He is survived by two daughters,
Jennie, wife of w. L Boyd, and
Lucinda, wife of Henry Ludwig,
both of this borough, and one sister,
Mrs. Margaret Garretson of Bath,
N. Y.
The funeral, conducted by Rev. G.
E. Scudder of the NJ. E. church,
was held Tuesday afternoon and
the interment was in Milford GEM
etery.

The visit of the Cuban committee
to Washington has not only bean
pleasant but it has been productive
of much good. The doubts which
the Cubans said they and their fell
low-members of the constitutional
convention had as to the construc-
tion of that clause of the Platt
amendment in which the right was
reserved by this government to in
tervene whenever in its judgment it
might become necessary to preserve
order in Cuba, was all cleared away
by the explanations made by Presi-
dent Mckinley and Secretary Root,
and they now see the establishing
of naval coaling stations in Cuba by
the United States in Il much more
favorable light than they did when
tho matter was discussed in the
convention. Those two clauses Of
the Platt amendment are the only
ones that were seriously opposed by
the convention. Members of the
committee have said privately that
they would recommend to the con
vention when they return. which

amendment be accepted. and have
expressed the opinion that the rec
ommendation win be favorably
acted upon. The Cubahs aid a grea'

MIR. L. c.. Willis, Mayor of Shell
byville, KY. and a good republican,
who is now in Washington, thinks
the democrats of the state are re-
covering from their attack of parti-
san delirium. He said: II think
that daylight is coming for our
political difficulties in Kentucky,
and it will be a source of much
qualification TO all of our people.
The acquittal of Capt. Ripley by the
jury at Frankfort, the hotbed of
agitation over the killing of Goebel,
is a sign that the court and jury are
determined to give the accused man
a fair trial. That is all that any
body on either side can ask. This
action probably forecasts the acquit-
tai of most of the other suspects
who are yet to be tried. There is
one noticeable difference between
the recent trial and those which
were held last year. The Ripley
jury were drawn out of the wheel,
as provided in the Kentucky law
but last year Judge Cantrill, when
the panel was exhausted, directed
the sheriff to make up the jury. 1t
Is pretty we'll understood what kind
of jury sheriff will get in such
cases.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER

(Froin Our Regular Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. d. G April 20, 1901
President Mckinley left Washing
ton today on the longest trip ever
taken by a President of the United
States The total distance to be
travelled by June o. when the Pres
idential special is due to return to
Washington, is 10, ,5Si miles Presi-
dent Harrison nearly made as long
a trip in 1891, when he Travelled
0,22S miles President Mckinley,
like President Harrison opposes
travelling on Sunday, except in cases
of absolute necessity, and the special
train will be side tracked every
Sunday during the trip, the schedule
giving the following in order named
as the Sunday stopping places San
Antonio, Texas Del Monte and San
Francisco, Cal Spokane, Wash. f;
Salt Lake City, Utah, and Chicago.
Four members of the cabinet, Sec
retaries Hay, Hitchcock an Wilson
ard Postmaster General Smith, left
Washington with the President,
and Secretary Long, who has gone
to visit his daughters in Colorado,
will join him before San Francisco
is reached. One car of the special
train is fitted out as the Presidents 5
Office and the presence of Secretary
Cortelyou and several of the White
House corps of stenographers, will
make it as easy for the President to
transact executive business on the
train as he could in Washington
But unless something unexpected
turns up, he doesn't expect to give
much time to business. There is no
need for him to do so, as there is
little likelihood of anything having
TO be disposed of before his return
that cannot be handled by the three
members of the cabinet, Secretaries
Root and Gage and Attorney Gen
eral Knox, left in Washington. In
fact, the business of the government
is just now largely routine, both
domestic and outside.
