INTENTIONS OF MR. ROGERS.
CURATOR OF THE MUSEUM TELLS WHAT
HE THINKS THE WILL MEANS

George H. Story. curator of paintings of the

evening that no anxiety was felt by the trustees

desirable objects and in the purchase of books

poses exclusively. General di Cesnola director
of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, said recently
that among the needed improvements of the
museum increase in the staff Of expert
curators and increase in the number of cata-
logues. 1t inferred in quarters yester-
day that under the clause mentioned all the In
from the Rogers bequest must be spent In
purchasing objects of art and books for the library
Mr.. Story. however, took different view. He
thought Mr.. Rogers when he made his splendid
bequest to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in
of art purchased should be properly cared for and
properly placed before the public. The employ ment
of additional curators who were experts would
therefore be necessary.
Mr. Story said he would construe the clause men
toned as meaning not only the purchase but the
of objects for the museum. The bequest
naturally intended to cover all expenses at

A New York jury has recently award
ed the widow of victim of a street
railway accident $4,000 damages. The
husbands income was $4,000. On the
same day in the same court Jury
awarded the widow of another victim
of street railways carelessness$150 800,
his income having been about $1,000 a
year. The disparity in the two cases
attracted not little attention, particu-
larly in view of the fact that the usual
practice in such damage suits is to limit
the award to $1,000. The ordinary in
depreciation of the law is that human
life is to be valued without reference
to the earning capacity of the person
while living This rule has no doubt
worked injustice in many instances,
but it has generally been regarded as
unsafe to permit a veritable pecuniary
estimate to be placed upon life, and
hence a maximum of damages obtains
in most states. In the case In point the
widow of the $1,000 man was doubtless
far more seriously in need of help than
the widow of the $4,000 man. The
former must have left his family in
much worse circumstances than the
latter. Altogether the cases cited give
rise to an interesting and rather intri-
cate question of law.

Victor Emmanuel III has been king
Of Italy only little more than two
months, but it has sufficed to show
something of the fiber that is in him.
He seems to know his own mind and
has the courage of his convictions. Not
content, as was his father, to let the
government be run by ministers, the
young ruler at his first cabinet meeting
vetoed several bills which after inves-
tigation he found Objectionable. Fur
ther, he insisted upon taking personal
direction of the department of foreign
affairs, an attitude which his imme-
date predecessors never dreamed Of
taking. In matter of court ceremony
and etiquette he has already shown the
courage of simplicity. AS kings go he
seems to be doing fairly well.

OBITUARY..

Peter Courtney died Feb. End, 1901,
at the home of his parents in Bluffton
township, aged 80 years. Twas but
Saturday afternoon when the feelings
of our people were Swallowed over and
the hearts of all filled with darkest
gloom and melancholy. Sad it was in
deed to see one of orr brightest and
most cheerful faces okase its smiles for
ever. Dreamlike seems to all who
knew him well, but yet too true. Who
of all his numerous friends did not feel
pang or shed tear at the sudden
break Of the unexpected bitter news?
The story of this sad event is told in
words too few. Lung fever and pneu-
monia struck the fatal blow. Until
six o'clock Sunday morning he had
neither word nor warning of his near
approaching fate. Twas then the first
sign appeared in the mystic horizon.
Little did he think at this juncture
that his earthly career was about to
end. Six more days completed his last
page in the book of life. Needless to
say that his anxious people labored as
siduously and resorted to every imagi-
nable means that would restore the
dying man to health, after consulting
two of the medical authorities of Ridge
way and Cresco. but to no avail, as the
cure lay beyond the human hand.
The funeral on Feb. 5th was the lar
gest ever held at st. Bridget's church.
High mass was celebrated by Rev.
Father Norris assisted by Rev. Father
Have. The deceased was but thirty.
two years of age, yet he had large
circle of warm friends, and all who
knew him loved him for his manly
qualities and warm hearted, generous
nature. He leaves a father, mother,
sister and three brothers to mourn his
early death.
Their sorrow is greater, perhaps, be-
cause he was so good, so loving and SO
true. No flower of earthly bloom can
ever garland the grave that was made
in their hearts the day he passed away.
1t has left tn Fir hearts and home DESC
late for time. But sorrow has its
useful lessons, and death is the gate
that opens out of earth toward the
house eternal in the heavens" If
they have lost him here, Heaven has
gained him. If they mourn, he re-
joices; if they hang their harps on the
willows, he tunes his in the eternal
orchestra above, and rejoices that they
shall soon be with him. Their sorrows
shall be drowned in the flood of light
let through the rent veil in the skies
which Jesus entered, knowing that
every step brings them nearer the de-
parted loved ones and their sweet eter-
nal home, which death never enters
and where partings are never known.
He was young in years, but he wore
a glorious chaplet of good deeds nobly
done, and we rejoice to feel that when
that fell from his brow at the gates of
paradise and he passed into the star lit
portal to the land Of which we dream,
he put on an everlasting crown in that
realm where the hues of the rainbow
never fade.

The production of "My Aunt's Neph-

show and contained number of very
creditable specialties. Taken altogether
the performance was very satisfactory.

1t is asserted that the case of Roland

spring, is not likely to be argued on ap-

meantime Molineux is in the death
house in Sing Sing, where he receives
visits from his wife, mother and father
twice a week. His keepers give him
the certificate of being the best behav-
