POLICE COURT DOINcS.
Judge Burpee Sends Boy to the State
 Reform School for a Term

small boy named Daniel HofAn yielded to evil temptation and in conse- quence he was committed this morning by Judge Burpee in the city court to lAe state school. The boy was charged with theft of two watches and two watch cha ms, the property of Mir and Mrs .. D. Pinney of Livery street and valued at $S0. though MT and Mrs Pin ney said they were worth about $89.
 The evidence of Mrs Pinney showed that about month ago she wrapped up the articles and placed them in drawer, which she then locked. She had the only key to the drawer. Soon after she engaged Horan as bell boy. A week ago Mrs Pinney had occasion to go to the drawer. To her surprise she could not find the key where she had left it. She was wondering what had become of it when Horan said he knew where it was. The boy then went into the dining room and Mrs Plnney saw him take key from his pocket and open the drawer. When asked where he had got the key he said he saw 1t on the sideboard, A few days after he got through, as he did not get along with the other help.
 Last Saturday Mrs Pinney discov- cred the watches and chains were gone nhu lumeulRlety the Incident Of the key flashed through her mind and she suspected the, boy could explain the absence of the articles. The police being communicated with she found she had surmised correctly. Horan made clean breast of the theft to De. tectiye Kennaugh. He had taken the articles and sold them for $7 to deal- CT in second hand goods on Bank street. The police expect to recover them
 Horan was very sorry for his con- duct. He wept bitterly on the witness stand. but 1t availed him nothing. and he will have to stay in the state school until he Is 21 years old, unless paroled for good conduct. He did not seem n vicious boy. His father is living. but his mother is dead
 The eases against Frank Zelo. On- gelo Marcella and Angelo Sylvester for keeping and selling liquor without a license were settled for $40 The liquor seized will be destroyed, though an order to that effect has not been granted

MASS FOR MISS RYAN.
Friends of the Deceased Attend the
 Service in Large Numbers.

The requiem high mass which was sung at St Thomass church on Satur- day morning for the repose of the soul of Mary Louise Ryan, was attended by the nuns of the convent of Notre Dame and many members of the Alumnae as- sociation. They were present at the service to pay honor to the memory of one of the most loyal pupils ever grad .uated by the congregation of Notre Dame.
 During her girlhood Miss Ryan stud led at the convent in Waterbury, and then went to Villa Maria, where she completed her course, taking special honors ill the languages. She spoke French fuently, with an ease and idiomatic grace surpassed by few lin guists Her command of English was not limited to prose expression, for she was gifted with poetic temperament and wrote verses which gave great lit erary promise. Had her health per- mitted her to take up writing as a pro- fession there is little doubt but that she would have done tine work in the field Of letters.
 But Mary Louise Ryan is dead. Her life was not long as years are counted, but she left behind her the memory of a spirit which remained untouched and unspotted by the world. She was as guileless as child, never unkind, never uncharitable. and always inter- ested in the well being of her many friends. Her faith was great and ahid- ing, and her religious fervor was a source not only of happiness to her during life, but comfort and a tower of strength in her last moments ere God drew up the bright soul-sword on
 high
 Out of the body's frail and fragile
 sheath.
 May she rest in peace"

The 3ManleysIand Furbees.

The venerable Harrison Maniey, OF
Grant district, father of the Demo.
cratic candidate for. sheriff was twice
elected to that Office, the two terms
consisting of eight years, During
was deputy sheriff During an inter
vening term, when the late C. B.
Carney was sheriff, Charles E. Man
ley was his deputy. AS deputy sher-
if. therefore, Charles E. Manley serv-
ed for twelve consecutive years He
then sought the Office of Clerk of the
County Court, and secured it, serv-
ing for six years, when he was re-
elected, serving six years more, max
ing twelve in all. So it will be seen
that the father and son have been in
by far the best Offices of the county
for the long term of thirtytwo years.
The Democratic Times in discuss
ing Mr.. Manley's candidacy the other
day showed some EN- barrass1nent,
we thought, on account OF his thirst
for Office, but tried to make it ap
pear that the Furbee family had
been conspicuous officeholders also.
The fact is that never until the pres
ent campaign did a Furbee ask the
people of this county for an office of
profit. The late Hon. James H. Fur
bee, father Of our candidate for sher-
if, was elected more than once to
each branch of the Legislature, but
in every instance as to him it was
the office seeking the man, not the
man the office. Howard R. Furbee
went to the last Legislature as dele
gate, but everybody knows that his
going meant a sacrifice to his bust
ness. No one can go or has gone
there without making more or less of
q sacrifice. In these modern times
it means great sacrifice-more's the
pity
To say that any of the F'urbees
have shown a hungering for Office is
saying something that cannot be veri-
fed. On the contrary in the case of
the Manleys such hunger is chronic,
many of their own party taking this
view of it. not few of whom have
told us that they think they have had
and they will say SO by
heir votes on the Sth of November.
Charles E. Marley, if he doesn't know
low, is sure to know on the date
named that he asked for Office once
too often.

The Race Cry.

The Republicans have obtained
their large ascendancy in this State
through the colonization of thousands
of colored voters from Virginia and
other States South and it behooves
all white men, Irrespective of party,
to stand together in the present con
test. rescue us from the gigantic at.
tempt to Africanize the State--l'ar,n;

Here the Democratic demasosle in
all his paint and feathers is bowling
about the race issue. The fact that
the people of this State believe i'll pro,
lection and sound money put West
Virginia in the Republican column and
will keep it there. Who is attempt
ing to Africanize the State and how
do they propose to do II? The Farm
ers' Advocate must be mighty hard
up for issues to conjurc up the ne
gro bugaboo in State which has
only $4,000 black men In population
of over a million. Such talk is an in
suit to intelligent voters.

DO YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR
ROOSEVELT? DO YOUkNoW
HOW? MAKE NO MISTAKE.

Many Democrats say they want to
vote for Roosevelt but for no other
Republican candidate. You cannot
do so by scratching out Parker and
writing Roosevelt OF the Dernocratic
ticket.
No man can vote directly for eth
er one OF them. Their names count
for nothing on your ballots You
must vote for the. Republican electors
If you desire Roosevelt's election.
That is the only way your vote can
be counted fer Roosevelt. On the
Democratic ticket are prtMed the
names OF seven Democratic presiden-
tial electors, who, if elected, viii
cast the vote of the State for Par
ker and Davis. On the Republican
ticket are the names of seven Repub-
lican Presidential electors, who, if
elected, will cast the vote of the
State for Roosevelt and fairbanks.
NOW LISTEM-iF YOU WANT. TO
VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT ON THE
TICKET, You must
scratch OUT the names of the seven
Democratic Presidential electors on
that ticket, and then write the names
of the seven Republican electors in
their places. Then you must see that
the flames of all other persons you
want to vote for are on the Demo
cratic ticket and deface all the other
tickets on the ballot sheet.
