THE MOURNLNa.

It is not perfunctory mourning that shadows this land, but grief deep and sincere. The more President McKin- ley's character, talents and services are contemplated the more splendid they appear and the greater seems the loss that has come upon us. With heavy hearts the people will take part to-day in the formal and public ex- pressions of the national woe And while they mourn they will turn with humility and with fervent appeal to Him who rules the affairs of men and nations, and whose ways are ever right, though they may not be under stood by His creatures.
 Let us further so use to-day as to make ourselves truer patriots and citi- zens. The President has been slain. but the republic lives. It is the duty Of every man who does not want to see government of the people by the people for the people perish to do his full duty toward maintaining and pre- serving it. Therefore as we sorrow to-day let us not sorrow without hope nor without new and strong resolu- tion to be worthy citizens of a free country

FEW BA CTERIA IN ICE.

Those who have refrained from using ice all summer on account of the germ theory will be glad to learn that the Boston Board of Health has been con- sidering for some time the question whether typhoid fever turks in ice and is prepared to report that there Is little danger. In natural ice the bacteria are thrown out by freezing, and in ar tificial ice they are killed by sterilizing. Dr. H. Winslow Hill, director of the departments bacteriological labora- tory. reports that If ice be formed by the ordinary process of freezing down. ward toward the bottom, the mere act of freezing itself results in dminu- tion, by physically throwing out the bacteria to the extent of 90 per cent, the remaining 10 per cent being reduc- ed in proportion to the contamination already given, and in two weeks the percentage remaining in the ice, as compared with the number in the wa ter originally, would give nearly the

sPOILING CHILDREN.
If Parents Were Less Unselfish Their Youngsters Would Make Better Husbands and Wives.

If Parents Were Less Unselfish Their | Youngsters Would Make Better 1 Husbands and Wives.
 l We hear, in these days, a great deal spect of American children toward their parents. That the parents then-
 selves are to blame in most instances
 cannot be denied by anyone who will take the trouble to study the cause of this state ot affairs.
 When fathers and mothers realize
 that lack of discipline comes nearer to
 cruelty than to kindness we shall have
 fewer children who have not learned to respect old age, and who do not know
 the beauty of the fifth commandment.
 Fathers and mothers work and save and deny themselves for the benefit-of their offspring, consoling themselves with the hope that when the little ones are grown their reward will come; but 1t too often happens that when the sons and daughters reach the stage where 1t Is possible for them to make life easier for their parents they have become so accustomed to seeing father and moth- CT doing without that they never re- alize that this condition of affairs ought to be reversed.
 The one argument in favor of board ing schools for children whose parents are living is that in them a child learns to take his chances with other children. At home his parents love him whether he is cross and surly or sweet-tempered and affectionate; at boarding school he soon discovers that if he would be loved by his teachers he must he lova- ble; if he would win friends among his companions he must show himself friendly.
 It is not fair to child whose parents have allowed him to grow up selfish that the world should blame him be- cause he is so: but the world does just that. It is too busy to probe below what we seem to be to learn what we are, and when 1t finds a man or woman who Is selfish, who expects too much of 1t, 1t does not argue the matter--it sm- ply lets that man or tbat woman alone
 That is why parents should look be- yond the present moment in dealing with their little ones. We all desire for our children, when they shall have be- come men and women, happiness, sue cess. power Shall we not, then. do all we can to fit them to fill the positions we crave for them? Do we not all know people whose power to control others is lost through inability to con- trol themselves s?-Philadelphia Press.

JAMES GOODWIN PATTERSON.

James Goodwin Patterson, one of
 Connecticut's most useful and distn-
 guished citizens, has rested from his labors. Some idea of the extent and from the following list of his connec-
 tions President and director of the
 Travellers Insurance company, the New
 England Granite Works, Patterson & Elsie, New York; director Hartford Ma tional Bank, Case, Lockwood & Brain ard company; vice-president Wads- worth Atheneum, member Colonial Club, member Connecticut Society Sons of the American Revolution. member American Statistical Association, mem Der Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis, member Hartford Scientific Society, member Connecticut Horticul- tural Society, member New England Society of New York, American Asso- citation for the Advancement of Sci- ence Yale Alumni Association, Hart ford Board of Trade, and for thirty years a Fellow of American Society, Civil Engineers.
 Tn addition to being great business man Mir. Patterson was a scholar of no small requirements. For instance, he attained such eminence in Greek that he was elected member of the exclu- sive Greek Club of New York city He was an effective speaker and q strong writer and he exercised much influence in public affairs. Few men can do so many things as well as MT. Patterson could do them
 One of the great things which this versatile and efficient man did was to build the Capitol of the State of Con- necticut and the Hartford Times sug- gests that one of the pedestals on the exterior of the Capitol which await the marble busts and statues of the emi- nent men of the State who may be found worthy of such commemoration be occupied by a statue of MT.

 "All of us bragged nightly on our bringing about this exodus, but it was awfully troublesome-the lack of the negro. I lived at the county seat. No Southerner knows until he exper- ences it, the many things you want negro to do for you which you don't wish to ask a white woman, man or boy to do for you, unless you are living in some Eastern city, where all the help is white. I have never had that experience and don't banker for it.
 With us in Comanche, the chief trouble in this particular was that every man, woman and child in that village was practically on the same social plane--excepting, of course, the debased. I couldn't ask such folk to do my little chores-I mean the run ming of errands and hundred little things that we don't hesitate to ask a negro to do.

THE TRIAL OF THE 1fSS1SSIN


 The people are eager to see the Pres ident's assassin punished for his crime, but there Is less talk of lynching him than there was It is now settled that he Is going to have a thoroughly fair trial He will be defended by ex- Judges Lewis and Titus, both lawyers of large ability and experience. Ex-Judge Lew is was fourteen years on the New York Supreme court bench. and eX-Judge Ti- tus was District Attorney of Erie coun- ty for three years and was elected as a judge of the Superior court of Buffalo the last four years of his term being served as Supreme court justice after the abolishment of the Superior court by the Constitutional Convention in 1894. These gentlemen have accepted the very disagreeable task of defending Czolgosz as duty they owe to the law, and at the request of the Bar associa- ton of Buffalo. The president of the association points out that there has never been better opportunity to rem der the law real service than in sec ing that CZolgosz has a fair trial.
 The proceedings will be watched with deep interest. It Is expected that they will be carried out with dignity, ability and justice and perhaps the spectacle will be as impressive and as good for the country as speedy lynchlng would have been.

Failing to agree, day was appointed

BesieS's Waukegan Brewing Company.
1t Is with pleasure that we call the
attention of the trade, and private fam
lilies, to the fact that owing to the in
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter of undOubted purity and of the
finest quality, we are now bOttling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops In the
manufacture Of malt liquors has re-
suited in an inquiry for an article OF
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything of u harmful or deleteri-
Gus nature, and ut price that would
commend its use to all. The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers to purchase imported
goods at a high price.
Therefore we are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter
uneXcelled in quality, equal In every
respect to the imported, at much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the hest
hops in the market, no substitutes
whatever being used, and, being bottled
by ourselves at Waukegan, enables us
to offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty of their purity apd quality.
| Families can obtain these goods OF
all the leading fancy srocers, the prin-
cipal hotels, restaurants and druggists.
