HIS MESSAGE TO ANGELS.
Ere il Had Risen Far the Child's
Spirit Sped Past in Upward Flight.

(New York American.)
angels, 1 am coming to Heaven to
see you"
SilVio Casartelli wrote the above
words on a slip of paper as he stood
on the roof of the house in which ne
lived at No. $50 Second avenue, and
then affiXing the message to the tail
of his kite sent the kite into the air.
the kite shooting upward carried his
message nearer and nearer to the
skies.
Silvio, at the edge of the unprotect-
ed parapet of the roof, felt q sudden
tug at the string, then a snap as the
string parted. He sprang forward to
catch the end of the string and fell
headlong to the Jagged stones of the
pavement sixty feet below. On his
motionless body clattered two shutters,
torn from their hinges as he fell His
skull was fractured and he was dead
before the doctors reached his side.
Mrs. Casartelli, the mother of the
boy, returning with her youngest child
from visit to a physician at the mo-
ment the body with its fractured skull
was laid in the hallway, fell into
swoom.

the children" said a woman amid the
tears as she told the story last night.
They think that the kite will carry
the appeal to the angels and make
their place in Heaven sure

Remember There is Yet a God

Public opinion needs to rise upon it's
hind legs and kick the stuffing out
of it; at least to kick it into a realiz
ing sense that there is something yet
greater than money and partyiSm and
patronage; that the machine is not
invincible; that there are yet peo-
pie; that there is still God.
Nor ever could a change of parties
be effected with so little danger to
existing conditions. What risks do
even honest Republicans take in set
ting Roosevelt and Fairbanks aside,
and in preferring Parker and Davis?
The money of the country is safe be-
yond human agency to disturb 1T. The
revenue laws are not likely to be adj
justed to suit me, and men like me,
until the manufacturers come to see
as they surely will, that the protective
tariff is a hindrance and not help
to American industry. Where, then,
is the danger? My able, learned and
ingenious friend, the recent secretary
of War, finds it in the age OF our noml-
nee for Vice-President. If Mr.. Parker
is elected President, says Mr.. Root, he
may make Mr. Hill Secretary of
State Then, Mr.. Davis, the Vice
President, might die. Then, some
Guiteau or Czolgosz might remove
President Parker-and then-and
then-why,, then Mr.. Hill will be
President. That recalls the familiar
story of the good wife who was found
by her loving husband in the throes
of a great sorrow. suppose, she
said, between her sobs, suppose our
Mary Jane should grow up and marry
a man by the name of Jones; and
! suppose they should have a little baby
named Sallie Ann; and suppose the
baby should fall into a we'll and be
| drown-n-ded"! But even this luxury
OF grief has been denied Mr.. Root, for
