Nntlonal Monument 20 McKInler.

NallOuHA monument TO McAlnleys
The Mckinley National Monument
Association has been organized at
Cleveland with Judge William R. Day
as president and a full list of officers.
A board of trustees has been elected.
The objects Of the association are
the erection and maintenance at Can
ton, O., of a monument which will be
a suitable memorial to the late Presi-
dent Mckinley and will p%erpetuate the
recollection Of his character and pub
lie services. 1t is a most worthy en-
terprise of patriotism and popular af-
lection. The amount of money which
is to be raised for the purpose is not
announced. 1t should be ample to pay
for the design and erection Of a me-
mortal structure adapted to the end
in view and which will fifty express the
sentiments of the American people in
regard t. the distinguished martyr
whose name it will bear. This en-
deavor should be accomplished. There
should be no failure for want of effort
in the collection of the necessary mon
ey and in the completion of the work.
Some of the most elaborate monument
enterprises in the country have -four
ished for a time while enthusiasm on
the subject was at fever heat. Then
effort has become languid and finally
ceased altogether. Such should not
be the case in this instance. There
should be no doubt of success.-Chi-

The authorities of A%shtabula, Ohio,
and the people generally are much in
terested in unearthing the individual
or individuals who have made four
consecutive attempts upon the life Of
Miss Lillian Hawkins, a young lady of
that place, whose reputation is of the
highest. So far the mystery remains
unsolved and meantime the young vic
tim is slowly recovering from the
shock of the fourth attempt upon her
life. She declares she knows no per-
son who should seek her life, nor any
reason why she should be attacked.
Last December the first attack was
made upon her. Shortly before Christ
mas while visiting friends in Rock
Creek, near Ashtabula, she was left
alone in the house n day. When the
family returned they found the girl
bound and gagged, lying on the floor,
and with a mark around her throat
where a cord had been tightly drawn.
She had been attacked from behind
and while being choked she became

The action Of the Reformed Presby-
terrain church in Boston in suspend
ing a member because he had de-
clared his intention of becoming a
citizen Of the United States, brings up
an irritating, disturbing question in a
new shape.
The Reformed Presbyterians, a
church not having more than 10, 000
communicates in the United States.
take no part in politics, do not vote,
express hostility to the constitution
of the United States, and hold to the
suficiency of church government in
managing the affairs of men. A large
majority of the members oppose the
use of ornamental music in churches,
oppose the singing of hymns other
than the psalms, and insist on strict
enforcement of the doctrine of non
participation in political or govern
mental affairs.
The Reformed Presbyterian church
had 10 1000 communicates in 1874. II
had 1873 in 1900. Nevertheless this
small body of unprogressive religion
lists kept up a continuous agitation
against the constitution of the United
States and against the form of govern.

A. curious custom exists in the Prus-
sian royal family of selecting every
July a half dozen young couples toe
poor to marry and having them wed
ded in the garrison church at Pots
dam on the anniversary of the death
Of Queen Louise of Prussia. After the
ceremony each bride receives a gift OF
a sum equivalent to about $125 and a
handsome family Bible. The function
took place as usual a short time age
in the presence of Princess Marghar-

REAR ADMIRAL BUNCE.

He served also in the attack on Fort
Sumter and in the siege of Charleston.
In 1863 he became a lieutenant COM
mander, a commander in 1871, a cap
tain in 1888, a commodore in 1895 and
a rear admiral in 1898. His latest
service in the department was rendered
as commander of the Brooklyn navy
yard, to which post he was assigned
in 1897.
In all respects Admiral Bunce was
a model naval officer, and possessed of
high ideals of duty and service. He
was liked by his fellow officers and re-
spected by the sailors who knew his
record and admired his courage.

Government in America is practi-
cally shaped in the caucus. For the
Christian man the primary meeting
should be as sacred IN appointment as
the place of prayer, and if the Chris
tian men of a community would inter
est themselves, they could get good
men nominated" These words, spok-
en- at the recent Christian Endeavor
convention, embody a truth familiar to
all, yet one that it is well to emphasize
during the month before election. The
evils which exist in politics are large
ly the result of the neglect of duty
by the very men who most loudly
complain of them.

three other cases of embezzlements by
bank employees, which brings the total

Cold weather Adv,o..

A great mistake made by many is
that clothing gives warmth, whereas
It only retains the warmth that is pro-
duced by the food eaten. Therefore
the best way to keep warm is to take
plenty Of heat-giving food, such as
milk, butter, cheese, oatmeal, pota-
toes and the like.
Always wear wool or silk next the
skin, breathe deeply and regularly,
keep your mouth shut. v miss a
meal, try walking to business instead
Of budding yourself up in the corner
OF a car or omnibus, and you will
have no difficulty in keeping warm.

GLACIER
Beautiful Alaska Ice Field Named by

Q. NJ. Fulton Of Scranton, Pennsylvas

scribes the Denver glacier:
Denver is the name given In Alas
ka glacier which is becoming one Of
the famous show places of Alaska. 1t
was named by two former Denver
men, Alfred Williams, now the divis-
ion engineer of the White Horse &
Yukon railroad, and II. G. Barley, for
merly a clerk in the p%Ostotlice here.
The glacier is in a valley about three
miles from the line of the railway and
fifteen miles from Skagway. 1t is
about a quarter of a mile wide, 800 feet
high, and no one knows how long. Mr..
Williams and l climbed it for three
hours, and then were only One-third of
the way to the top. The Alaskan gla-
ciers are not like those of the Alps,
mere masses of dirty snow, but are of
blue ice, perfectly clear. l never saw
such a beautiful blue as in looking into
one Of the crevasses. The scenery all
the way over the White pass is mag
nificent."

One Of the great lessons Of the Boer
war was to show the value Of the
South African horse. If the Beers had
not been so excellently mounted as
they were, on horses bred in the
Transvaal, Orange Free State and
Cape Colony, the war would have
worn a different aspect. The South
African horse can live on much less
food than an English horse; he does
not suffer from the climate; he does
not tumble into holes; he is sounder,
is more sensible, and learns better to
stand alone without being tied up.
