Wondering what the man could be

noticed the ancient and quaint custom
which is observed every evening dur

warns members of the inn that It IL
time to dress for dinner in the hall ut

Temple itself, where 1t alone exists.
At about $50 p. M. the wardcr on

commencing In FOuutnincourt, blows n

In New court, Essex court, Brick court,

operation lasts about ten minutes, and
when II is over the warder, who Is a

the horn to the buffers pantry.
Nobody seems to take any notice of

Because of his championship of
tariff tax reduction MS means of
curtailing the power of the trusts, The
American Economist viciously attacks
Congressman Babcock, compares him
TO Benedict Arnold, aud demands that
he be dropped from the ways and
means committee, and from the chair
manship of the Republican Congress
sional committee, A long article from
The Economist, which is ro-publishcd
in some of our local Republican OK
changes, exhibits the same degree of
wrath which almost choked the old
Tory protectionists In the English
Parliament when Sir Robert Peel
proposed the repeal of the corn laws.
The tariff question is coming TO the
front again in American politics.
Not nearly SO many people rs former.
ly are deluded with the notion that so.
called protection is blessing to
labor. That tariff taxation Is the
foster mother, II not the real mother
of trusts Is becoming we'll settled
conviction. The tariif barons now
have control of Congress; but--this
may not be the case after the elections
of 1902. A good strong open fight
over the tariff question could only
result in victory for the friends of
commercial freedom,

Mrs. James w. Hutchinson.

AS announced in the Democrat OF
last week, Sarah Genevieve Phillips
wife of Mr.. James w. HUTCHINSON,
died suddenly on Wednesday night,
June fifth, at about ten o'clock.
The announcement of her death cast
a deep gloom over the entire commun-
ity. She was born in Mineral Point,
where she grew to womanhood and
where she has always made her home.
with the exception of fifteen months
spent in California. She was very
highly esteemed for her kindness OF
heart and her womanly graces,
She leaves to mourn and fee
their loss, her husband, three sons
three daughters, her mother, Mrs. p.
+. Phillips, her sister, Miss Annie,
her brothers, Hugh E., Edward A,
Frederick W., and Robert, besides a
wide circle of friends. The Joy over
the birth of a son and daughter was
in one brief hour turned TO mourning
IOI JllC lONCu Sl5JeT, NuG anu IlOGIlGt.
The funeral took place on Saturday
morning at 10 a. m. from Trinity
church.
Rev. George Mortified held short
service at the family residence.
The church was beautifully deco
rated with flowers. The hymus sung
we're: the beautiful resurrection hymn

Kindly Light" The Rector, Rev.
M. Chase made a few remarks, in
which he APPLY applied the lines of

"Idyls of the King" Rev. Merri-
field said the service at the grave.
CO Sunday morning Rev. M. Chase
preached on "The Communion of the
Saints" and in the course of his SER
mon paid tribute to Mrs. Hutchinson
as a true and faithful member of the
Parish. He contrasted spiritual real
tiles with artificial distinctions and
estimates, and cOnventiOnalities OF
of life, and went on to say that there
is no greater word that can be spoken
of any one, than that he has done
some manly or she some wOmanly
thing. All the cOmmendatory ad iec-
tives Of the language are included in
that term and we feel that there is no
higher attainment, which we can
reach in this world, than simply to
have deserved it. Admiration, he
said, goes out spontaneously to the
one who truly deserves it. And SO
we think of our dead sister. We
think of her as the true woman, and
that while she has gone from sight
we feel that her influence in these
spiritual relations, still goes on here;
and that it passes on to something
more than a beautiful memory of the
true mother and her children. This
picture of home, which means all that
is true and lovely in this world, is
a provision of thai of which we sing,
and which exists forever. How real
all this is us we interpret it in rela-
ton to our belief in the communion OF

running at large within the city limits
prohibiting the deposit of rubbish In
the streets, and requiring lot owners
TO keep all grass and weeds cut in
their respective portion of streets and
alleys, All good citizens ought to
comply with the mayors very reason

ters. Let all good citizens keep up
their horses and cattle; and, whore
they have not cleaned the streets and
alleys adjacent to their premises, let
them turn in and do it at once, and
then keep them clean. and keep the
grass cut and cleared away. We all
owe this much to the community. Twice
