Obituary..

Nearly two years have passed
since the sad news spread over
our little city that our esteemed
fellow citizen and friend, Robert
E. Lear, was stricken down
with para ysis, aud in critical
condition. Anxious inquiries
seemed to come from all direc.
tions from his many friends, only
to be answered that it was too
true
But, through the mercy of a
Divine Providence and the best
of medical skill, together with
all that could be done with kind
and owing hands. he was spared
from death at that time and in a
few weeks was sufficiently IT
stored to be seen on our streets
again. though left a cripple, A
few months later. seeing that he
could not engage in active bus
mess again owing to physical
ina biIity, his ambition and en-
ergy led him 10 believe he could
and must be doing something,
and subsequently formed CO
partnership with Mr.. D. r.
Davenport in the real estate and
insurance business, in which he
successfully continued up to
Friday evening Oct. 10, 1902,

tinuing in this condition up to
Sunday evening, when, at $40
the curtin of death gently closed
around his last sleep of human
existence and his spirit returned
to God who gave It. Thus end

VARIETY IN KRCKWEAR.
Dainty Combinations of Velvet. Lace
and SILK Are Now Much
in Favor.

1t Is the little accessories and details
Of dress which furnish the greatest
variety, and this is seen nowhere more
In evidence than in the neckwear de-
partment. SAYS the New York Sun.
AS to stocks, they are legion, varied
in every possible combination of vel
vet, silk and lace. A simple stock to
wear with a lace scarf or one of crepe
de chine is made of dotted crepe de
chine in pale blue or pink-laid in mar
row folds turning upward. This COW
ers the entire band to within a half
an inch Of the top, which is very white.
A pretty stock is Of pink silk, with
two rows Of narrow black velvet at
the top and French knots In black be-
tween. White silk. with black taffeta
bands dotted with white silk knots,
forms other designs, which may be va
ried as to coIOrs, of course.
Applique designs in lace are very
prettiIy added in the center Of one kind
of stock embellished with French
knots, while another shows the lattice
Iacing of black velvet ribbon which is
so popular now. 1t is variously APP
piled to bodices and decOrates the belts
and collar bands.
In neck scarfs there is a great vari-
ETY., especially in lace worn around the
lower part of a simple stock like a
necktie with bow and ends in front.
Soft ties of crepe de chine variOusly
finished on the ends are among the
prettiest-
Some are hemstitched, others have
applique lace ends, while others have
a transparent lace net band covered
with three tiny bands of the blue, dot
ted with French knots or tiny beads.
These are especially attractive.
Very pretty scroll designs are used
on the lace stocks, wrought out with
the little silk bands Joined with the
open stitch. All sorts of changes are
rung on this idea.
Then there are the palmer, strictly
shirtwaist stocks made Of two cOlors
IN the Barathea silks, the narrow tie
fastened in front with two fancy but
tons, with a plain buckle or with snaf-
fe bit In gold.

CLIMAX OF BITTER DEBATE.
Senate Passes Philippine Tarin Bill
by a Strict Party VOte-sOuth
CarOIinans in Contempt.

Washington, Feb. 25.-After eight
hours of tumultuous debate yester-
day the senate shortly before seven
o'clock in the evening passed the Phil
ippine tariff bill by vote of 40 to 20,
a strictly party vote. Senator Till
man and Senator BIcLaurin, the two
senator's from South Carolina, who
on Saturday last were declared by the
senate to be in contempt because Of
their fight in the chamber, were not
permitted by voice or by vote to par
ticipate in the proceedings. The
question as to their right to vote pre-
cipitated a sharp debate, lasting near
ly two hours The president pro tenn,
Senator Frye, held that the two SEN
atOrs could not vote and he was sus-
tanned by a majority Of the senate.
During the debate on the Philippine
bill Senator McComas and Senator
Wellington, of Maryland, became in
volved in a controversy, during the
course of which the latter declared
that if Senator McCOmas should
make his statements outside of the
senate chamber he would brand them
as a malicious falsehoOd. He was
called to order promptly and resumed
his seat amid considerable excite

ga CAPTAINS BATTLE
HOoseveIt says Neither sehIey nor
Sampson Deserves Particular
Credit for Santiago Victory

Washington, Feb. 21.-In reply to
the appeal Of Rear Admiral Sehley for
a reversal Of the verdict Of the court
OF inquiry, President Roosevelt says
the court Of inquiry did substantial
justice" in the case and he refuses to
interfere with its decision. He says
the Santiago battle was a captains
fight" and neither Sampson nor Schley
deserve especial credit. He declares
Sampson's claim rests on his work as
commander-in-chief and his standing
orders about the blockade and then
says:
Admiral schley IS rightly entitIed-as
is Capt Cookie the credit Of what the
Brooklyn did in the fight On the whole
she did well: but agree with the unani-
nous findings OF the three admirals who
composed the court Of inquiry as to the
loop" It seriously marred the Brook
lyn's otherwise excellent record, being
IN fact the one grave mistake made BY
any American ship that day. Had the
Brooklyn turned to the westward, that is,
in the same direction that the Spanish
ships were going instead OF in the con-
trary direction, she would undoubtedly
have been in more dangerous proXim-
fty'' to them But IL would have been
more dangerous for them as well as for
her. This kind Of danger must not be
too nicely weighed by those whose trade
it Is to dare greatly for the honor OF the
flag.
The president concludes by saying:
It was just to Admiral Sampson that
he should receive a greater advance in
numbers than Admiral Schley-there was
nothing done in the battle that warranted
any unusual reward for either. In short
as regards Admirals Sampson and Schley,
I find that President Mckinley did sub
Efa0ffa1 f11Sffca and that there would q
no warrant for reversing his action
The president heartily cOncurs in
the recommendation of the court of
inquiry that no further action be
taken in the matter, as to keep it
alive, he says, would damage both
the navy and the country.
