Death OF D. M. Enqlish.

ID. NJ. English, who would have been IS
years old in October, died Monday even
ing at his home on Central street OF
Bright's disease, after long and painful
illness.
He was born in Randolph and spent the
greater part of his life in his native town.
For some years he had a farm on Fish hill,
and afterwards removed to Brookfield but,
his health failing, he was obliged finally
to retire from active affairs and took up
his residence in this village.
Mr.. English was OF genial. kindly ma
ture, well-wIsher of his fellows and one
who won the regard of all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, a son, Charles
English Of Brookfeld, and three daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Edward Harlow OF Woodstock,
Mrs. Hattie Lamson, with whom her par
ents have lived on Central street, and Mrs.
Flora French of Everett, Mass, who, with
her little daughter, Muriel, came Saturday
and was with her father the last two DAYS
OF his life.
The funeral was held at the house
Wednesday afternoon at o'clock. Rev.
Fraser Metzger, pastor OF the Christian
church, officiating. A quartet, composed
of w. z. Lamson, Edwin Martin and Miss
es Gail Lamson and Louise Hastings, sang
two appropriate selections. Burial was in
Southview cemetery.

SINCERE FLATTERY,

but that 1t has spurred them into an
effort to strike an equal gait It's
methods of classifying and it's method
of displaying the news Of the day, it's
striking system of news headings, it's
method of playing up war and other
news, every item of detail in its prep
aration as newspaper, has been i'm
mediately and faithfully copied by one
or another of it's contemporaries in
these two cities. There is not a news
paper in either of them in which we
could not point out important and
valuable features adopted within the
last few months and copied directly
from the columns of TIL Globe
Far be it from us to make any COM
plant of this. We mention it rather
in spirit of qualification. If imitation
is the sincerest f1attery, then not even
the readers of the Northwest who are
adding to the circulation list Of T e
G O b e from 1000 to 1000 names ev-
cry month in the year have a more
sincere appreciation of it's merits than
the other newspapers of it's own sec
ton. e Clio b e congratulates them
all upon their watchful attention to it's
work, upon the appreciation they have

and improvements that it has in con-
slant contemplation.

road is not built before an intercon-
tinental airship line, it will not be built
at all, and we have Prof Langley's
word for 1t that the latter line Is the
inevitable result Of the experiments in
aerial navigation Which he and few
others are now conducting. 1t looks,
therefore, very much like a race be-

mental railroad scheme and the aerial
navigation experimenters. But since,

the near future, no one need be aston
ished; for 1t is not probable that the
Chicagoans will permit the world to
forget the fact, now. that It has been
proved, of the Egyptian kinship.
The Chicago lotus explains the art
institute, but 1t also explains the stock
yards. The Psychologist has made us
acquainted with the COW and lotus de-
vice of the ancient Egyptians. In mod
ern Chicago We have the COW and lotus
device again; or we will have as soon as
the Chicagoans are aroused to an
Egyptian consciousness, which will
doubtless be very soon. Most COM
parsons are odorous, we know, but
should Chicago have the courage to
adopt device which will permit the
world to compare her greatest beauty
with her greatest utility, the odor of it
will be forgotten in the audacity Of it.
Looked at from the lotus point OF
view the aspect of Chicago changes
subtly. The Chicago river is no longer
a muddy stream, but a lesser Nile.
The Chicagoans are not engaged in
feeding the fatted soul Of things, they
are working out a salvation for them
selves that will edify a younger people
When the last American is dead. The
city itself is neither crude, material nor
obtuse, but very ancient, very mysteri-
Gus, very wise. The lotus has explained
everything; and the man who is tempt
ed, hereafter, to poke fun at the Windy
City would better study his Egypt.

FROM PARIS TO NEW YORK
OVERLAND

While the steamers continue to short
en- the time which must intervene be-
fore the traveller who steams out from
New York harbor can sight land on the
other side, the general public continues
to dream Of a day when 1t will be pos
sible to travel in comfort and with
dispatch from New York to Paris by
rail. The prospect of substituting for
a week Of NAL de mer a fortnight,
perhaps, of comfortable land travel
with ones nights spent in a Pullman
observation car is too delightful to be
ignored, and it never has been ignored
since the introduction Of steam made it
a remote possibility. But according to
the traveller, Harry De Windt, this day
still belongs to the distant future. In
December, 1901, Mr.. De Windt set out
from Paris with the intention OF ex-
pIoring a northwest land passage from
the French capital to New York. He
has published a book of his adventures
which makes interesting reading for the
general public but discouragipg read
ing for those who have resolved to
stay on their own side of the hemi-
sphere until it is possible to reach the
other side by rail.
Mr.. De Windt journeyed from France
to Russia, used the trans Siberian rail-
road to Irkutsk and thence made his
way to the arctic coast of Siberia. He
intended to cross on the frozen strait
to Cape Prince of Wales, but found it
impossible to do this and was forced
to employ a steamer to reach the
American coast. Bering strait defeat
ed him, and he thinks Boring strait will
defeat the scheme of an interconti-
mental railroad. 1t cannot be bridged
and 1T would cost a fabulous sum to
tunnel it, and Mr. Windt doubts if any
corporation in this century, at feast,
will have the courage to attempt to
span 1T with steel rails.
But if the world waits a century for
this intercontinental railroad, it will
probably never see one built. The trav-

CHICAGO AND THE IOTUS

The versatile Mr.. Triggs' enforced
retirement from the University Of Chi
cago was surely premature. The trac-
ing of affinities was, we believe, the
professors speciality, and had he re-
manned he would probably have expe-
rienced no difficulty in discovering a
reason for the affinity which exists be-
tween modern Chicagoans and ancient
Egyptians. The lotus has disappeared
from the ponds of Lower Egypt; it has
reappeared in the ponds Of Chicago and
its environs. Man, to be sure is re-
sponsible, in part at least, for it's re-
appearance in Chicago; but the Egyp-
tan lotus had all America to choose
from, and the fact that it finds the
Windy City best adapted to it's needs
is not without significance; or so at
least 1t will appear to the Chicagoans.
short time ago the outside world
was startled to learn that the Chicago
native had been converted to sun wor-
ship. This is not so unexplainable when
considered in connection with the lotus
ponds Of the Windy City. To treasure
the lotus and not worship the sun
would be still more inconceivable. 1t

THE LABoRER AND HER HIRE

Tx ENDOhER AMI TEN Tine
Miss Hattie A. Haines is suing Mrs.
Mary Reynolds Ireland in the New
York courts for $4,000 for services
rendered as companion and musician
in-chief to the remains of the late Mr..
Ireland
Miss Haines declares that it was her
daily duty to accompany Mrs Ireland
to the cemetery wherein was located
the Ireland mausoleum, to remove the
lid from the coffin occupied by the re-
mains Of Mr.. Ireland and to set in mo-
ton music box and grind out the ia
vorite tunes of the lamented. 1t is
admitted that she performed this serv-
ice. AS Mrs. Ireland has the price Miss
Haines should get the money. If peo-
pie must have luxuries they should be
made to pay for them-and it is not to
be disputed that playing tunes to a
corpse is by way Of pandering to a
luxurious taste.
1t has not yet transpired what par
ticular object Mrs. Ireland had in view
in serenading the remains of her dear
departed. But the fact that she pro-
vided music box from which tunes
were produced by feeding it rolls of
perforated paper would indicate that
she had hopes Of bringing Mr.. Ireland
back to life. The experience of the
! common people with the paper-fed
music box is that 1t is calculated to
stimulate dead and lifeless matter to
rise up and rebel and to stir the living
to deeds of desperation. On the other
hand, it is possible that the widow was
merely getting even, by a refinement
Of cruelty, for abuses suffered at the
| hands Of the dead one. If there be any
| thing in the contention that the souls
Of those apparently dead do not at
| once desert the tenement Of clay but
linger on as though loath to part from
the habit Of lifetime, then was the
widow taking a fiendish revenge.
In any event it must have been rath-
er trying upon the young woman to
perform this duty. Perhaps she has
some music in her soul Possibly
sweet sounds mean something to her.
In which event those of us who love
music cannot withhold from her some
touch of sympathy for being compelled
| to pander to a taste that demanded the

A COMMON ENEMY.

The rumor comes from Republican
sources that an attack upon the state
board Of control is to be renewed with
vigor at the next legislative session.
We hope sincerely that this may be
true. In it's brief existence that body
has already demonstrated its ineapac-
ity except for evi1sz EiYensanzabl thon
est man when placed npenaeitz finds
himself powerless< to steH@ tl1eseaFrent
created by improper opportunffys and
inevitable tendency to wrongdoing.
The principle of the board of con-
troll is ineradicably bad. In practical
operation it works out, as it necessarily
must, human nature and average pol
itics being what they are, into COM
plete political machine. In this state
eficial results whatever, except such as
might have been gained by a mere
board of audit. That is all the central
authority that should exist. A COM
mon purchasing agent, a common
scrutiny Of accounts, might benefit our
public institutions and serve the state.
A common control of those institutions
degrades them and creates and ele-
Yates the machine.
Besides this the Minnesota board of
control has laid itself open to fierce and
unanswerable attack. 1t has placarded
itself before the public as either dis
honest or incapable. In no other state
in the Union, not even the most debas-
ed and boss-ridden, are public scandals
publicly smothered as the prison affair
has been here. The greater the limo
cence of the party accused and the
more plainly it can be made to appear,
the more insistent is he upon imme-
date inquiry and vindication.
In this state a responsible man, one
in position to know the facts, Mr.. w.
B. Jordan, former contractor for prison
labor specifically and definitely charg-
ed Warden Wolfer with a pecuniary
interest in the company controlling the
labor of the public institution where
he serves. The matter was brought
officially and in detail before the board
of control and the governor. They
have made no investigation, they have
offered no explanation beyond bare
denial. The only possible conclusion is
that they dare not.
In this scandal, deepened and made
convincing by their own act, the gov
ernor and the board of control are impli-
Gated. 1t may well be that the people
of Minnesota, seeing this new-f1edged
institution declare itself to be either so
incompetent or SO shameless, should
move with one impulse and without re-
gard to party to wipe it out of exist
ence.
