DIR. CLARENCE W. MskNIGHT.
A Prominent Young Physician Passes Away After Lin-
 gering Illness.

Clarence W. Mcknight, son of Dr. J.. D. Mcknight, high sheufI of St. Fran. es county. died Thursday morning, July |, 1901, of dysentery. at his home on the old Military Road in Jericho aG- ter d lingering illness 0f several weeks.
 He was born in Fayette ceunty. Ten nlssee, on February -. s6S, and was in his. 37th year. JIe was married Co Miss Lille Martin in la92, and two childl blessed their union, both boys, aged respectively about seven and eleven years, all of whom survive him. and are plunged into the most poignant grief at their awful bereavement. Clarence was a praeticing physician, and has been locafcd at different times at Palestine, Caldwell and other poiu Is, his residence Ut Palestine beiug of the longest duration since he had been practicipg. He was d Woodman and I consistent member of The Baptist chuIch, in which organizations he was 1 Dttu III tilt IT l4ut~l tNbGtlli.
 The precious remains were inferred in the Forrest City Cemetery to-day, under the auspices of the Woodman ol the World, Eld. J. A. MeCord of The Baptist church, cniciating.
 His heart broken widow now lies sick at home and was unable 10 attend the last sd rites.
 In his last illness Clarence had the most devoted care of his relatives and numerous friends, and especially did l his devoted father watch and minister to him. and his great love for his only son was beautifully cxemplitied in the ccaseitsS and untirirg fsithfulness of bis watch and care and anxiety. Al was done taat these devoted ones could think of or science suggest, but the Master had called and like the true servant, he yielded up the ghost.
 In this sad and awful hour, with black, murky gloom enyeIoping their hearts and minds, woldS of sympathy seem So tame that We scarce can write anything that seems adequate to the occasion or that will in the least helr them to bear this great cross. But Vt do sincerely feel their sorrow, and tC the widowed mother, the orphaned children, aud our friend, that faithfu old father, whose devotion has been St beauuful, we extend our sincere anC heart 7elt sympathy aud hope that G0C will bless and comfort them as 1t alone can do.
 Dr. Clarence had a large circle ot friends, who join us in these words which, though poorly composed, are in tended to convey some measure of com fort to the grief-stricken relatives.

~ EARLY ADJOCRyWENT.

Rurnors come from Washington that Congress
intends 10 surprise and delight an incredulous
public hv adiournin- some time in April
The leaders in the House Of Representatives, II
is said. are determined 10 break all records Tor
expedition and are confidently predicting that
the necessary legislation Of l9o3-A can easily be
crowded within The limits Of FIVE months ses-
sion Some Of the House leaders 90 even fur
ther. M Dalzel. Of Pennsylvania, the ranking
member Of the Committee on Rules was quoted
in our dispatches the other day rs declaring a
session Of four months quite sufficient for clear
ir- Tho legislative calendar. we have nothing
to do hut pass appropriation bills said Mr..
Dalzeu. 81 believe we can finish before April l.
Speaker Cannon. we learn. has given orders 10
the chairuen OF committees 10 rush business
along" and is equally anxious 10 force an early
adjournment
II may he that the Republican managers in
the House viii be- able 10 accomplish the uneN-
pected and dismiss Congress some two months
earlier than il has been willing 10 dismiss itself
at any long session since the early years OF the
Republic Nothing is impossible these days in
the House in the way Of accelerating legis-
latiou But the inertia ef the Senate and its
legislative methods have TO be reckoned with,
and nothing short Of a revolution in the deliber-
alive branch would seem to Justify the belief
that the country win find Congress "on its
hands" much before the term set 10y custom for
that annual dcliverance.
In the wear Of a Presidential election prece-
dent now prescribes that the long session shall
end at least a week before the date set for the
earlier Of the two great national conventions.
In 1896 Congress adjourned sine die on June q,
about ten DAYS before the meeting Of the Re-
publican convention at st Louis. In 1900 the
long session ended on June II, nearly two u eeEs
before the meeting OF the Philadelphia conven-
ton But in 1892 the two houses sat until Au-
gust . long after both conventions were over
though serious legislative work was suspended
at Washington while the members Of the House
and Senate were absent on convention business
ar Minneapolis and Chicago.
This year Congress is pretty certain 70 have
finished its work before the Republican Ma
tsonal Convention meets at Chicago on June 81
But that it viii voluntarily put mp the shutters
and extinguish the limelight before June / shat
ters al belief in the ixlty Of habit and the frail
ties Of political human nature. In seeking 10
ahridge the long session Mr.. Cannon and Mr.
Dalzen show n reforming zeal altogether worthy
Of commendation. But they are likely 10 find
reversing the seasons almost as easy as reform
ing the Congressional calendar.

SALT WATER FOR FIRES.

The proposition 10 employ salt water TO eX-
tinc7lish fires in this city has much to commend
fl. There is not to-day any assurance OF too
great a supply Of fresh water for other uses
here for the next few years, and the demands
on il could be sensibly diminished If the fire
men relied mainly upon river water. Indeed,
the underwriters think it not altogether I'M
possible for emergencies TO arise when both re-
sources might be taxed to the utmost. In any
such situation, obviously, it would be better to
have too much water than not enough. The
city government IS TO be commended for look
ing into the matter. In many respects the me-
tropolis is already wei guarded. 1t has a SPLEEN
did building law and an able Fire Department.
Still, it would be foolish to take it for granted
that there is absolutely no chance 70 better ex-
listing conditions.
The ACCESSIBILITY OF adopting the scheme will
depend. Of course. on number Of details. To
lay a series Of pipes across Manhattan Island
from the Hudson TO the East River ought not to
be enormously expensive, but II IS not clear
whether this would he enough. If without any
head I'm the pipes the city's steam fire engines
could reach the upper stories Of the highest
buildings, il might be wise to go ahead. If ii
would be necessary TO install several pumping
stations to give additional pressure, n larger
outlay would be required. Plant and sites
could not be had for nothing. 1t IS desirable.
therefore. TO ascertain exactly what the system
would cost. The Mayor viii be performing an
excellent service # he secures accurate esti-
mates Of the probable cost at the hearing which
he is about TO give. One prominent insurance
man thinks that 100000 or $5OOOOOO would
furnish both pipes and pumping stations giving
a pressure OF two hundred pounds 10 the inch
for the region below Forty -second-st. Even II
the salt water system was kept in reserve for
exceptional danger. an investment no bigger
than this would not he unreasonable
