NJ. j. BAILEY Co..

In a North Missouri town not long
ago a boy was required by his teacher
to write an essay on "The Mouth" and
and this is what he wrote: 1.-THE mouth
is the front door to the face. 1t Is the
aperture to the cold storage of our an
atomy. 1t is the hotbed of toothache
and the bunghole Of oratory. The
mouth is the crimson aisle to the river
it is the fountain Of patriotism and the
tool chest for pie. Without the mouth
the politician would be a wanderer on
the face of the earth, and GO down TO a
dishonored grave. 1t is the grocer's
friend, the dentists hope. 1t is the
temptation lunch counter when attached
to a pretty girl. and a tobacco fiend when
| attached to q man."

LORD ROBERTS IS VERY IL
He Will Resign As Commander
 of English Army.

The Office He Now Holds Will Prob ably Be Abolished-The Appoint
 ment of 8 Royal Commission Is
 Taken As a Forerunner of This
 Change
 London, Nov 2S.---Although no pub lie announcement of the fact has been made it is understood that Lord Rob- erts is about to resign ELS commander in-chief. He has been much more ill than is generally known, is still abed and the condition of his health re- quires him to spend the winter in a southern climate, probably the Ri- veria.
 The appointment of the royal com mission (announced November 6), to advise the government concerning the creation of board for the adminis- trative business of the war office, and the consequent changes involved, is generally regarded as foreshadowing the abolition of the post of command er-in-chief, or at least making the pos sition largely ornamental and Lord Roberts is understood to consider that
  tune excuse for his retirement, thus leaving the field clear for any changes which may be recommended for the kings approval by the commission.
 From the terms of the reference to the commission 1t is quite evident that 1t was appointed to find practical means of carrying into effect the re commentators of Lord Esher, mem Der of the commission, which were ap- pended, as note to the commission 8 report. Therein Lord Fisher specifi- cally urged the abolition of the post of commander-in and the ap- pointment of general officer to com mand the army, making him responsi- ble to the secretary for war for the eff f1ciency of the military forces. His lordship further recommended the es- tablishment of an advisory and ex, ecutive board, presided over by the secretary for war, on the lines of the admiralty board.

ROW OVER 4 POOL CAME.
One Nan Threw a Pool Ball With
 Fatal Results.

Man Struck Became Unconscious and
 Never Recovered-His Assailant
 Arrested and Coroner is Investigat-
 ing.
 Taftville, Nov 2S.-Tn a quarrel of a pool game, Exodias Fregeau struck Ovila Caron with billiard ball in Fournier's saloon Friday evening with fatal results.
 The men were engaged in friendly pool contest, both sober, so far as appearances showed It was 10 o'clock when the row took place and Caron, who was hit near the right temple, dropped to the floor. He par tially regained consciousness, but at once lapsed again into state of coma from which he never rallied Caron was taken to the Backus hospital and died three hours after he was struck.
 Fregeau was arrested by Constable Reeves early this morning. He was entirely overcome and claimed he did not mean to hit Caron, that in an in- stant he had committed the crime without a second thought. There was no evidence presented before the city court in Norwich this morning and consequently the case was continued until Monday at the suggestion of Acting City Attorney Kelly.
 Coroner Brown is Investigating the case to-day and accommodating eyi- dence. Medical Examiner Paddock performed an autopsy this morning to determine the result of inc blow and the cause of death. Caron was 28 years old, of French descent and mar ried. Fregeau is also French and married with one child living. He is 26 years old

CHARLESTON, s. C., Nov. 28.-- Mgr. D. E. Quigley, vicar general of the Roman Catholic diocese of Charleston, is dead. He was born near Glasgow, Scotland, in 1885. Tn 1864 he accompanied Lynch of South Caro- lima as private secretary on his mis- sion to Rome as representative of the Confederate States. Mgr. Quigley's private papers contain valuable unpub- lished documents showing the scope of the negotiations or conferences be- tween Bishop Lynch and the papal nun cio at Paris relative to the proposed but never consAmmated recognition of the Confederate States by Pope Plus TX. Tn 1885 pr. Quigley was appoint ed monsignore and is said to have been the first Roman Catholic prelate in the south who was so honored.
