Pessed Quietly Away at Her Home
on Hartford Street Sunday


on Hartford Street Sunday
Mrs. Jane Brodhead, reliot Of DR..
Vincent Emerson, who died August
1, 1895, died at the home Of her son
on Hartford street at an early hour
last Sunday morning, November s,
of heart failure
She was a daughter of Col. John
and Sarah Brodhead Westbrook and
was born in Delaware township
March %, 1924. She was decended
from two Of the oldest and most
prominent families in the valley.
Her father was a distinguished oiti-
zen, having been elected sheriff Of
this county in 1917. In 1888 he was
elected TO the legislature and in 1910
to congress, where he served with
distinction and became intimately
acquainted with such men as
Stevens, Buchanan, jackson and
Van Buren, and was one of those who
voted for the appropriation for test
ing the merits Of the Morse tele-
graph system. Her mother was a
daughter Of Judge Richard Brod-
head and sister of Hon. Richard
Brodhead, United States Senator
from this state.
Mrs. Emerson was a woman of
rare mental endowments and in
earlier life taught school in this
town. She was well informed on
current events of the day, but for
many years an infirmity prevented
her mingling into society.
She is survived by one son, Dr..
Henry Everett, we'll known ply
sician here.
The funeral, conducted by Rev.
e. ]. Perot, was held Wednesday
and interment in Milford cemetery.

lyn, vouches for the truth of this
story about Dowie;
"There was a Baptist minister
living in a rural town with a salary
of 5000 a.Year. That minister had
an epileptic son. His wife had come
to have faith in Dowie, and, after
trying every other remedy, the min
lister and his wife appealed to this
healer. What did he do? He
promptly asked them how much
money they had. The good wife,
anxious only for her son, said they
would raise all they could. They
sold their COW and raised SEQ. The
COW was the chief resource of the
family, for it gave more milk than
the congregation. They wanted to
stay with a sister in Chicago, but
Dowie declared that it would never
do. They'd have to stay with the
elect if they wanted to be cured.
That meant they had to board at
the Dowie hotel at enormous rates,
Well, they exhausted that $50 and
raised $40 more, then left Zion, their
boy still the same epileptic.
That, says DR.. Henson, is the way
Dowie has accumulated his millions.

sohaefBer on Education

DIR. N. c. schaefer, State Super
intendent Of Public instruction, gave
some very decided views of the
question of the overburdened public
school curriculum at a recent ses-
sion Of the Lancaster County Teach
ers' Institute. His utterances Gre
ated much comment among the
pedagogues.
He declared it was Of more inn
portance to have a knowledge of
reading, writing and reckoning than
Of whales, butterflies and Baltimore
orioles, on which he had heard a
number of learned discourses
from instructors at summer school
teachers conventions.
DR.. shaefier pleaded with the
teachers to be not distracted by
extraneous subjects to the detriment
Of the three essentials named above,
and at the same time emphasized
the importance Of drawing and
geography. He gave his approval
Of instruction along the lines Of
domestic science and industrial
training.

Farmers' Institutes

Farmers should remember the
institute to be held here December
80 and atDingmans Ferry Decem-
Der 80. One Of the questions which
might be discussed with profit is
how best to reclaim land which has
been covered with sand Whether
where the sand is very deep it would
be practical to plant, for instance,
alfalfa which roots deeply. It is not
likely that any one has had much
experience with just the conditions
which exist along the valley, but
some might have experimental with
very sandy land OF have knowledge
by observation of how best to treat
it and what plant it would be most
advisable to use in the effort to
recover humus.

The Political Situation.

WAsHINeroN. D d. Nov. 1lth.

WASHINGTON, d C.. Nov. 11th
Events in Panama are being
watched here with close interest,
and it is the general opinion that the
revolution will be successful and
thnt the new Republican del Ismo
CRepublic of the Isthmus) viii sue
ceed in establishing its independ-
eence, and gaining its recognition by
this country. The secession of Pan.
anna from Columbia was almost a
foregone conclusion after the Bogota
government rejected the canal
treaty. Panama is geographically
sparate from Colombia and the in
terests Of che two states are antag-
onistic, so that when Columbia at.
tempted to block the canal, a separ-
alton was inevitable. Panama has
declared her independence, adopted
a red, white and blue flag, placed a
triumvirate in the charge of the
governments, expelled all the Colon
bian troops, who would not join in
the revolution, and hasno received
a partial recognition by the United
States. American warship have
arrived at each side of the Isthmus,
marines have been landed and this
country has made clear it's purpose
to maintain an open traffic on the
isthmus, as it is obliged to do by the
treaty of 1876. This treaty was
signed with New Granada, nation
of which Colombia is the remaining
fraction. 1t addition to the obliga-
tion of our government TO maintain
open traffic across the isthmus az all
times, we agreed also to guarantee
New Granada (now Colombia) in it's
sovereignty and property on the
isthmus We have recognized the
de facto government on the isthmus
and authorized our consular officers
TO do business with it. Senator
Cullom, chairman Of the Senate
Committee of Foreign Relations, is
deeply interested in the revolution
and says he hopes a government
will be established so that the
United states can negotiate a canal
treaty and proceed with the con-
struction, His opinion is generally
adhered to at the Capital. In rec
ognizing the sovereignty Of the new
republic we should have to consider
it as the part Of New Granada to
which the treaty of 1s46 applied,
just as we now consider Columbia.
Panama is a very small state, about
$50, 600 inhabitants, and if findepend-
ent, it would come under the virtual
protectorate, If not into actual pos
session of the United States. This
is the opinion held by the European
powers and in their desire to see
the canal completed they seem to
make no objection to the Isthmus
coming under control Of the United
States.

Coneress Meets

Congress convened Tuesday in
pursuance of a call by the President
to consider the legislation necessary
to put into operation the commercial
treaty with Cuba which was ratified
by the senate at its last session, and
subsequently by the Cuban govern
ment.
The Presidents message is a short,
lucid and convincing statement Of the
case and deals with no other subject.
The argument is based on the grounds
Of national interest and national
honor. We have a large trade with
the island which is susceptible Of
great expansion and this reciprocity
treaty will build up the industrial
interests and prosperity of Cuba.

Hearst and German. With the
exception of Hearst's papers, the
entire press Of New York city was
against Tammany, and now the sue.
cessfui candidates are calling at-
tention to this fact and expressing
their gratitude to Representative
Hearst. As Mayor-elect Mcclellan

no doubt support Hearst, who is
making great efforts to win the

the prestige Of having carried his

The annual report of the governor
Of Hawaii has been received by the
Secretary Of the Interior. It shows
that there has been an increase in
commerce in the territory, advises
that limited immigration of Chin
ese be allowed, and recommends a
slight duty on coffee to protect the
native planter who is unable to com.
pete with the foreign importers.
The population of the territory is
composed of Hawaiian, Portuguese,
Japanese, Chinese, scandinavian,
Spanish, British, German and Amer
ioan There are many marriages
between Hawaiian women and white
men and a few between Hawaiian
women and Cinnamon. The off
spring of both classes of marriages
seem to be an improvement on the
pure Hawaiian. Unless there is an
increased immigration from Ameri-
ca, there is grave danger that owing
to the numerical inferiority of Anglo
Saxons, the islands will come under
the complete control of the Oriental
races. The public schools have done
more than anything else to lessen
race prejudice in the territory, and
the mixed populations seem to get
on we'll together. Under the recent
militia law passed by congress, the
Hawaiians have undertaken to build
up-a strong and efficient National
Guard.
