 President Roosevelt has taken care of James Jeffrey Roche of the Boston Pilot for the good work he did for the republicans last month, and be didn't wait a great while to show his gratA tude either. But now that Editor Roche is provided for. what is be going to do for Patrick Ford, who is publishing pages of testimonials about his own good work in the recent cam, paign? Isn't there a vacant place in some foreign shore where he can abe placed. How about appointing him as an assistant to Ambassadors Choate, so that be can be in a position to twist the British lions tail so that it will creak? And then there is T. St John Carney. what is there is store for hign ? Surely President Roosevelt will hot overlook his services.

 Representative Howard of Georgia has induced the agricultural depart ment at Washington to start an inves- tigation of the manufacture of white paper from cotton stalks Successful experiments have already been made in Atlanta, Ga, and Houston, Texas, and it is said the white paper made in Atlanta from cotton stalks exceIs the usual product made from wood pulp. and 1t is believed the cost of nanufac. ture is considerably less. MT Howard has persuaded Secretary Wilson and his assistants to look into the expert mental process already established, and the departments has announced that it will make more complete in. vestigat1on as to the cost and process of converting the stalks into paper and issue a public bulletin containing all the information ohtainable.

 To those who are now preparing for the greatest holiday of the year, the following from a writer in Leslie's Monthly may be of interest: First let us remember what Christmas stands for, and then let us try to realize the qualities of the great personality which gave the day its meaning and signia, cance let us honor them truly in all our celebrations. If we do this we shall, at the same. time, be truly honor ing the qualities and Eespecting the needs of every friend to whom we give, and our gifts, whether great or small, will be full of the spirit of dis eliminating affection, Let US realize that in order to give truly, we must give soberly and quietly. and let us take an hour or more by ourselves to think over our gifts before we begin to buy or to make them. If we do that, the helpful thoughts are sure to come, and newalife will come with them. A wise man has described the difference between heaven and hell by saying that, in heaven, everyone wants to give all that he has to everyone else, and that in hell everyone wants to take away. It is the spirit of heaven that belongs to Christmas,

away with the dual season. If sports men of north or south would feel called upon to lay down their arms. the difficulty would it once be overr come, but I srayely suspect that it would require not a few orntthological Bull Runs and Gettysburgs to con- vince either party of the wisdom of such course. Northerners and south erners rightly having equal claims up on sport and game, there can be no such thing as legialation favorable to one over tue other. The sole feasible remedy appears to be 8 judicious cur tailing of gun privileges at both ends of the migration flight, till the present destruction has been reduced to point which will permit the fowl to hold their own. Should this finally demand an open season of only one weeks duration, even that, to my notion, would be much better. than the entire loss of the game in question.

Like "a bolt from the biue'' the crash in Wall street came when least ex- pscted and when all seemed serene, says Banker CIews. The truth is, the market was ripe for break. For weeks and months stocks continued to rise without interruption until specula- ton, overstimulated by increasingly favorable outside conditions. carried the market up to the point of collapse. Sentiment everywhere was so oven. Whelmingly bullish that weak spots were ignored and a situation created where only shock of some sort was needed to force wholesale liquidation, This shock came in the form Of an at tack upon Amalgamated Copper, which promptly exposed the weakened condi- ton of the whole market. Stocks. it was then seen, had passed from strong into weak hands. The big men who bought freely at the low prices af 1908 had disposed very largely of their holdings, and when the crash came there was little or no support from this quarter. Liquidation of overbought accounts became imperative, and prices were so high that no substantial buyers could be found except at such heavy declines as exhausted WeaR margins and frightened tinid holders out of their senses.

 The appointment of James Jeffrey Roche of the Boston Pilot. to be United States consul at Genoa, is a proper recognition of the personal ser vices to the president of the United l States rendered by the editor of the well known Catholic weekly paper at the Hub. MT Roche was a most en- 1 thusiastic advocate and defender of MT Roosevelt during the campaign, and wrote such satisfactory articles I that a large number of copies of his paper were bought each week by the republican national committee and sent out gratis, as campaign sdocu- ments.

One of the greatest dincnlties in the path of the wise and earnest pro- tector Of game is the migration of such families as the waterfowl, snipe. blower, etc, says writer in Outing. We are prone to the framing of such laws as appear good for our own grounds. while forgetting that the ez- tensiye movements of the birds compel them to run the gauntlet of two open seasons in one year. When the law of the north declares the open season to be at m end. the law of the south al. lows the shooting of returning feather ed travellers. This. of course. means. that the fowl get no respite except during the actual breeding-season, a. state of affairs which few species will for long be able to stand. Were there no shooting in the north. the south would have plenty of birds for many years to come, and vice versa. but ull- fortunately t ia impossible to do

a Former EmploYe of the sentInel

A Former Employe Of the Sentinel
Dead.-Last week we received notice Of
the death Mr.. William Henry Hoffman,
aged "a years, which occurred on the 9th of
December, 1904, at his home in Fort Wayne,
Indiana. In the early sos the deceased
came from the North to this town with his
widowed mother, sister and brothers. The
family removed from here after short stay
and Henry remained in the SENTINEL Office,
under the proprietorship Of the late Matthew
Fields, TO finish his trade. He was an exem-
plary boy, Of ambition and higher order of
intelligence. He was respected by his EN-.
ployer for the aptness and industry he dis
played at his trade and by the public for his
attractive demeanor generally. The "llttle
gentleman" was received and accepted by
the best society in the town. He was of
the Presbyterian faith and his religious du-
ties were consistently observed. With the
fulfllment of the apprentice years here, he
went to Washington, D. g., to learn that
part Of the business which could not be &C.
quired in a country Office that he might be
master Of bis trade. He entered the Office
Of Thomas McGill. He was not there long
before he was elevated to the foremanship,
and 1850 he went from there TO his Western
home against the will of his employer, but
with bis best wishes. At Fort Wayne his
adopted home, he resided until death, and
embarked In the lumber business with his
brother. Later the business was transformed |
into the firm Of Hoffman Brothers Co., Of
which he was vice-president, and 1t ranks |
with the larger and richer enterprises Of the |
west. Forty-four years have passed since |
the deceased left for the west and since then |
most ell Of bis intimate friends have passed |
to eternal life or removed from here. But |
amongst those who are still here are Mrs. |
R. G. Fields, widow of Matthew Fields,
successor to the proprietorship Of the SEN |
rINEL, and Mr.. Sam'l A. Matlack, who has |
been constant attache Of this paper since |
/ was founded. In the family of Mrs
Fields the deceased lived during his appren-
lceship and received the tutelage of son
q the Office he was taught the art Of print
ng under the skillful and experienced hand
If Mr.. Matlack. Both o! these personages
,ave approached the "sere and yellow leaf
If life, and In the interval Of the absence Of
n Mr. Hoffman from this section his chris
ian life, which combines all the lovable at
ributes, was many, many times referred to. |
They and others mourn with his family his
,arly death.
