As He Ordered.

Not long ago an anxious mother
brought her daughter to see famous
London physician. The girl was suffer
ing from what some people call" gen
eral lownesS." There was nothing much
the matter with her, but she was pale
and listless, and did not care about do
ing anything, even eating.
The doctor, after due consultation,
prescribed for her q glass of claret
three times day with her meals. The
mother was somewhat deaf, but appar-
emily heard all he said, and bore off
her daughter, determined to carry out
the prescription to the letter.
In two weeks she was back with the
girl, who was rosy checked, smiling
ard the picture of health.
The doctor naturally congratulated
himself on his skill, and said cordially:
Il am glad to see your daughter is so
much better"
Thanks to you, DOCTOR" exclaimed
the grateful mother. "She has had just
what you ordered. She has eaten car
rots three times a day. and sometimes
oftener-and once or twice she had
them uncooked; and now look at herr

magistrate fallen by the hand of an as
sassin. George Bancroft, the historian,
eulogiZed Lincoln, and to Blaine fell the
duty of speaking of Garfield. 1t was emf
nently fitting tbat the last public cere-
monial of sorrow for the lamented Nc
Kinley should take place in the forum
which had echoed his voice, in the arena
where he won his spurs.
Anniversary of Garfield Service.
BY a strange coincidence Thursday was
the twentieth anniversary of the day on
which Blaine in the same hall delivered
his eulogy of the martyred Garfield, and
Mr.. Mckinley was the chairman Of the
committee that had charge of the ar
engagements on that occasion.
Only one year before, less five days,
at the head of an imposing civic and mil
itary procession, Mckinley passed along
Pennsylvania avenue for his second in
auguration. Six months later the tragedy
occurred at Buffalo, and another but diff
ferent procession tenderly bore his body
through the streets to the rotunda of the
capitol, where the brief funeral grafton
was delivered over his coffin and the trib-
utes of the nations of the earth about his
bier bespoke universal sorrow.
If the exercises of Thursday possessed
more imprsssiveness than those for Linz
coin and Garfield it was doubtless due to
the startling sameness in all three of the
crimes, the utter uselessness of the acts,
and the problems presented by them that
the peoples representatives feel it their
bounden duty to solve.
This, at least, was the burden of the
address presented by Secretary Hay, the
orator of the occasion. Mr.. Hay referred
in his Introductory remarks to the blame
less life led by each of the martyred Pres
idents, to the obscurity of their assas-
sins, and particularly to the strength of
this wel-ordered republic, which had seen
three chief executives fall without feel7
ing the slightest tremor of fear for the
nations safety. He spoke of the crime
Of revolutionary anarchy that had only
done injury to itself in striking at the
nations head, CT the dark anu intricate
problem which This peculiar form Of
criminality presented, Snd he expressed
his confidence that it ought to be within
the compass Of democratic government

A Menacing oliearchy.

The oligarchy in the United States
Senate is dangerous. That Messrs.
Aldrich, Allison and Platt and proba-
bly, two more Senators can thwart the
viii the people, can bid defiance to
the PRESIDENT. can absolutely control
the House of Representatives, is recog-
nized by all who live in Washington
and know the facts about Congress.
That these men should have this
power is more than unpleasant to con
template. No one of them is free from
the suspicion of being influenced, upon
various occasions, by self-interest. No
one of them, unless it may be Allison,
could ever have been elected Presi-
dent of the United States by popular
vote. Minneapolis Times.

hope of escape the long luxury of scan
dalous days in court and the unwhole-
some sympathy of hysterical degenerates,
and so by degrees to make the crime not
worth committing, even to these abb
normal and distorted souls"
Then came an eloquent and glowing
tribute to William Mckinley, who was
'from his birth TO his death typically
American" His probity. piety and pat
riotism were pre-eminent In the day Of
unfolding, in the time of youth, he pre-
pared himself for what life might bring,
and when the time came to act he was
ready. He did not hesitate; he perform
ed his duty, whether in the field, in the
quiet of his law Office, on the fierce bat
tlefeld of politics or at the head OF his
State or nation.
Secretary Hay spoke feelingly as friend
does of friend, and his words fell upon
sympathetic ears. What he said the ma
ton indorses. And the institutions which
did not tremble when Mckinley fell
which bore that even greater Stress u
Lincoln's death, surely viii prove strong
enough to render OF little effect the ele-
ments of disorder aud violence which
gave occasion to the memorable day.

Salaries of Officials.

Propositions to raise Washington sal
aries Will generally be regarded with
suspicion. The explanation that the
officials are sacrificing large private in
terests to accept low salary from the
government has been stretched to the
limit. The fact is that comparatively
few men can earn $1,000 a year in the
law or in any other profession. Al
most any town could entertain COM
fortably a convention of those earn
ing more than this amount. With a
few conspicuous exceptions the office
holders in Washington are paid liberal
ly. The country sees no occasion for
the flood of bills to increase salaries

JEALOUS HUSBAND' S CRIME.
Murders Wife and Boarder and Then
Takes His Own Life.


Takes His Own Life.
Woodstock, H., was thrown into a
frenzy Of excitement about $50 o'clock
Friday morning by one Of 1.-THE most start
ling double murders and suicides which
has occurred in northern Illinois in years.
Jealous of the attentions of an old man
to his wife, 4 husband entered the room
in which his wife ard Anderson were
and, with revolver opened fire.
Not to be killed without q struggle,
the aged victim closed with his antago-
mist, and in L desperate hand .to-hand en-
counter was finally compel;ed to succumh
to the superior strength of his younger
opponent One hole back of the left ear
told the story of the death of the wife,
while bullet in the left temple showed
how the husband had taken his life. A
son, 20 years of age the pnly surviving
member of the household Is under arrest
charged with completely in} the affair.
Benjamin #. Ellsworth was n well-to-
do business man OF Woodstock, owner of
a large machine shop. Mrs. Ellsworth
was q prominent society lady Of Wood
stock. Amos Anderson was II years
old. lie was before retiring largely in
terested in farm lands ana was consid-
cred to be the wealthiest man in Wood
stock
Something over a year ago he went to
board at the Ellsworth hCmc He had
been on very friendly termsi with the fam
lily for years and it was with the idea of
making his declining years ones of happi-
ness that Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth asked
him to come and live at their home. 1t
is said by intimate friends pf the parties
that there was no cause whatever for the
husbands jealousy.
AS to Ellsworth himself old residents
of the town assert that he had heredi-
tary faint for the shedding Of blood. 1t
is recalled that his father, enraged over
a discussion with his hired man, seized
a shotgun, blew out the mans brains
and then killed himself
