Obituary.
Ex-President Kruger of the Transvall
Republic. died In Switzerland. last
Thursday morning. Kruger fled to
Portuguese territory after the fall of
Pretoria in 1900, and the English prob
ably winked at his escape, as they
would not have known what to do with
him. He was a great man, and he
made the English pay dearly for the de-
struction of his little Republic in South
| Africa.
Samuel Plummer McCalmont, one of
the best known men of Venango Co.,

Wednesday, aged 81 years
Thomas S. Bigelow, the millionaire
politician of Pittsburg. was found dead
on his couch. at his home, yesterday af-
ternoon. Heart disease was the cause.

Human Sympathy.

When Peter the Great was founding
the Russian Empire he sent commits
sion all over Europe seeking suit
able religion for his people. The COM
mission examined the Roman Catholic,
the different Protestant, the Greek
Catholic, and all the other forms of
religion they could find, and reported
IN favor Of the Greek Catholic, and it
wa adopted; and Is today the state and
general religion Of the Russian Empire.
That makes . sympathy between
Russia, which grew Great and Greece
which stayed little. and when the Turks
pitch on" to Greece Russia always in
terferes and saves them. Hence the
sympathy of the Greeks for the Rus
slams. You can hear it right here in
Butler.

The most celebrated warlike women
among the ancients, apart from the
tabled amazons, were the Helvetian
ladies'. Caesar praises highly their
military achievements. In more than
one instance the legions of Rome turn
ed their backs on the fair ones of Swift
zerland. During the crusades women
often performed the most romantic and
chivalrous deeds, dying cheerfully by
the sides of their lovers and husbands

There is a story told of the eminent
Dr. Abernethy, who was as blunt as
he was learned. He was called to
prescribe for an old lady in failing
health, who prided herself upon being
and who looked the very pink of neat

cap immaculate, and her friends spoke
Of her as that "sweet old lady" After
much questioning, which was almost
impertinent, and a careful diagnosis oi

went on, 'Your bed is not properly

POLITICAL.

The gentlemen from Kittanning viii
be here today for the purpose OF re-
nominating Senator Williams
Platt says Roosevelt will carry New
York. and if he does there will not be a
shadow Of hope for Parker. Roosevelt
can be elected without New York but
Parker cannot. The electoral college
now counts of 476 votes. and it takes
$50 to elect. Nearly all the northern
states are Republican. all the southern
Democratic-and the supposed to be
doubtful ones are New York, 80; Wis
consin, 70; W. Va, 2; Maryland, 8;
Colorado, s; and Idaho, Montana and
Nevada 8 each.
Bryan is out in manifesto in which
he turns in for Parker-in way. He
finds some points in the Democratic
platform on which he can stand-oppo-
sition to imperialism, the reduction of
the standing army and dislike of Roose-
welt. But he declares that Demo
cratic victory would mean very little
in any progress on economic questions so
long as the party is under the control
of the Wall street element, !" and he
holds that the nomination of Parker
virtually nullifies the antitrust plank.
He has fears Of Parker's tariff revision
views. charges him with deception in
the matter Of his telegram, and appar-
entity does not have much faith in his
election.
That he does not believe there is much
Of q chance for Parker is made evident
by his refusal to consider himself dead
politically. On the other hand, Bryan
has great confidence in himself. ''As
soon as the election is over shall. with
the help of those who believe as do.
undertake to organize for the campaign
Of 1908, y he proclaims. his object being
to defeat the purposes Of the pluto
Gratis who are attempting to direct the
Affairs" of the Democratic party.
THERE is some talk of revising the
laws Of this state regarding the sale OF
liquor; and If that is to be done we sug-
gest paragraph requiring that the bar
rooms and dining open and close
at the same time. Some Butler people
who arrived at the town.of Huntingdon,
this state, after p NJ. the other even
ing, were informed that the dining
room was closed. and were set around
to FISHERS Restaurant" for their
suppers, while the bar-room remained

A Buddhist Funeral at the Fair.

Among the unusual sights witnessed
1t st. Louis, last week, was a Buddhist
funeral-th first one of it's kind ever
held in America, the Japanese inter
prefer said. Mao Saito. one of the
pretty geisha girls in fair Japan" died
Of typhoid fever four weeks from the
day she arrived at the worlds fair. The
dairty Japanese girl was only 10 years
old, and the sole support Of her parents
IN Tokyo, Japan. Several Pittsburgers
had watched her quaint dances in the
theater and praised her grace Of motion.
Last week she was buried in st. Louis,
but the funeral was strictly Buddhis-
tic one. All members of the japanese
colony. some 300 of them, gathered in
the lower hall Of one of the buildings
where Akita, Shinto high priest. who
presides over the temple OF Mo Mon
the temple which has been brought to
the worlds fair, read the burial service.
No American was present during this
worship, not even the undertaken The
priest clad In scarlet kimona and a
green turban, chanted two or three
prayers, and then read the burial SER
vice in Japanese. After this, each of 70
geishs girls present said a prayer for
their young friend. According to their
belief their rretty companion has start
ed over the river Of Ten Thousand
Years, after which time she will reach
the snow-capped mountain Of Fusiy-
anna, the highest point in japan, where
Buddha dwells.
According to the laws of Japan some
part of the body must be carried back
to the fatherland and buried there with
sacred rites, so Mao Saito's shining
black hair was cut; each girl took a
lock Of it and the rest was expressed to
Japan. The Japanese colony at the
exposition paid the funeral expenses
and sent purse to the parents.

OWNERSHIP OF RAILWAYS.
Concentration of Controlling Interest
 in New York is Noticeable.

Concentration of Controlling Interest
 in New York is Noticeable.
 The New York Commercial has call- ed attention of the concentration of the railway lines of the country into the hands of a comparatively few New York capitalists, and the shift of the ownership of the principal lines from New England to the metropolitan city. The fact was made noticeable by the recent election of H. c. Prick and Will liam c Rockefeller as directors of the Union Pacific system. Not a great many years ago the greater part of the large lines of the country were in the hands of New England capitalists, and not few were in the control of Euro pean hnanciers.
 E Most of the large continental lines had their origin in the New England States. The Union Pacific had it's source with the Ameses of North East on, the Northern Pacific began at the hands of the Cheneys and the Bill ingses of New Hampshire and Vermont. the Atchison with the Nickersons in Boston, while the existence of the Burlington is due to the Forbeses, Thayers and Brookes of the same city. C@P. Huntington, who built the South ernt Pacific lines. made his home in Connecticut, while New England capi- tai was responsible for the Michigan Central.
 The control of practically every one of these railroad systems has passed from the hands of New England to New York capitalists. The Union Pa cific Central Pacific and Southern Pa- cific are now controlled by the Harri- man and Standard Oil interests. North arn Pacific and Burlington are con trolled by the Northern Securities company, a majority of the stock of which is owned by New York capital ists. The stock of the Atchison is very widely scattered and no single banking interest controls an actual majority of the stock. The company Is practically controlled. however, by New York capitalists. Michigan Gen. tral is controlled by the New York Central, which is in turn controlled by Vanderbilt and Standard Oil interests. The control of all of these railroads has passed from the hands of New England to New York capitalists.
 A similar change has been going on during the last ten years regarding the foreign ownership of American rail- roads. During the construction pe- riod a large number of the railroads of this country were built with the aid
