a very heavy excess above nor

been almost unprecedented.
The loss to crops by washing
will be considerable, and much
of the low lands will be aband-
oned. Field work has been
practically impossible, except
in very few favored localities.
There is great need of dry
warm weather to Erepair some
measure of the damages and to
secure crops from the uplands
that have been planted. The
acreage of all cereal crops must
of necessity be materially less
than |the area harvested last
year. The apple crop is pro-
missing.

HEWITT MEMORIAL.
Carnegie's EuIogy Before n. Y.
Chamber of Commerce.

New York. Feb. Business was
suspended by the New York chamber Of
commerce today, and a memorial ser
vice held in honor OF Abram s. Hewitt
Mayor Low introduced resolutions
Andrew Carnegie seconded the resolu-
ton, saying:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen: We
meet today in commemorative service
OF fellow member, a great and good
man. Men who attain prominence
among their fellows as ne did, are OF
two classes, those of whom it is said
of death, the evil that men do lives
after Them and those of whom we
say with holy ferVOr. the good men do
lives after them The evil survives
after death in the first class because
it ~predomirated their life: these labor
ed in their day for ignoble ends by
1gnOble means. Members of this class
are found in every field of human ac-
tivity in public and in private life, in
the professions as well as in the world
of business.
In public life they stood for what was
popular because that led to the eleva-
ton of self. not for what was right or
beneficial The end sought, not the ad-
vance of city, state. nation or people
but personal triumph. Intercourse with
others bred no esteem. no friendship,
much less affection When life goes
with such. all goes. Nothing survives
which men can extOl, and even those
who Followed and cO-Operated with them
in life are dumb. for such regard can
rest only upon the virtues, personal
qualities which win approval.
1t is needless to say to which class
belonged the subject of our deep and
affectionate homage of today since it is
impossible that there could have ger
minated in our hearts the longing to
give expressions to our feeling here in
the chamber of commerce. the theater
of much Invaluable service Of our late
lamented friend and fellow member. I'M
less he had been one of that class for
whom we can boldly claim the good
that men do lives after them
If all We're asked to name the citizen OF

state campaign of the kind

a large sum realized for the New Hamp-
shire campaign. Some generous contribu-
lions have already been made. One of the
largest celebrations is to be in Brooklyn
where the Kings County Political Equality
league is to give a dinner at the Claren-
don hotel. It is announced as a Susan b
Anthony dinner
