Wednesday of last week from
Victor, Colo, is now visiting her
sister, Mrs. M. F. Washburn.
It is about eighteen years since
Mrs. Cooper left Cooperstown,
so that she notices a great
change in the berg that used to
be her home so many years ago.
Mr.. ]. H. Reiner arrived from
Glencoe, Mimi, lsst Thursday.
to spend q few days visiting I.
D. Allen. He returned home
Monday of this week. Mr.. Allen
learned his trade with Mr..
Reiner and naturally did the
best he could to show him a good
time while he was here.
Thursday of last week j. G
Flynn took possession of his new
purchase, the Rhodes livery
barn, and after sweeping the in
stitution out and putting the
place in order, he staggered
across the street and hit Erick
Erickson for q horse trade, offer
ing q few bronchos for Wyan-
dotte. Erick is too good a bust
ness man to turn down a snap
like that aud in three jerks of a
lambs tail the trade was made
and Wyandotte is again the
property of Flynn. There is nc

or sleep unless he owns that
little 'hoss."
Mrs. Theo. F. Kerr left or
Monday for Ann Arbor, Mich
During the twenty odd years
that the doctor and Mrs. Ker,
have lived in Cooperstown they
have made for themselves q host
of warm friends who deeply re
greet their departure. Mrs.
Kerr will be missed very much
by the ladies who have worked
with her in church and social
matters, and who have enjoyed
so many good times together.
Every citizen Of this town and
county who have had the pleas
ure of knowing DR.. Kerr and
his estimable wife will heartily
Join with the Courie r. in wish
ing for them many years of
happiness and comfort in their
new home wherever they may

"A big black coon and an

camped north of town on the

afternoon intending to remain
until Sunday morning. Sheriff
Flynn discovered them and he
and Marshal Chrlstianson went
out and brought them into town
where they were given a hearing
before Justice Rearick. Cir
cumstances and conditions all
indicated that the girls were
prostitutes and that the coon was
q turnkey, but as they had COM
mitted no direct crime they were
discharged and ordered to get
out of the county as soon as
possible.-Sentinel.

There is no excuse for a man
being Idle at this time of the
year. Work is plenty in the
country and wages are good.
Those fellows who refuse decent
wages and won't work, electing to
loaf around town, are here for
no good purpose and should be
made by the authorities to show
cause why they don't work or
means of visible support. Last
week we saw several fellows Of
fered work at good wages but
they wanted from Csc to Soc per
day more-the same old gag.
They set around doorsteps and
spit tobacco juice in puddles all
over the sidewalk. These men
are simply here for no good and
should not be tolerated. We do
not desire to say q word against
the honest Aboring man who
come here for work but against
those social vampires who do
nothing but prey upon those
men who have worked.

The cry of Il free Church and free
State by no means characterizes the
situation in France. Radicals and
Socialists who are in control of affairs
In France have done everything in
| their power to hamper the Church.
Iney, OF course, are opposed to all
forms Of the christian religion and
| under the cry of relieving the treasury
| from the burden of supporting relig-
ion and of according Il free hand to all
| religions, they have in their own esti-
nation struck Il hard blow at religion.
Whether or not their plan will be sue
cessful remains to be seen. They have
taken every precaution against allow
ing French Catholics to combat the
new order of things. They have, as
they believe, made it impossible for the
peasants of France to support the
Church. 1t is from the peasants that
the Church must look for it's support in
are largely in the hands of free
thinkers who are opposed to religion
and to the Catholic religion in partic-
ular because it is the only organized
body which can hope to accomplish
anything in France. The prelates of
the Church are divided as to what the
effect of the new law will be on the
Church in France. Some are inclined
to look at the matter from an optimistic
standpoint and hope that the cause of
religion will be promoted instead of
hampered by the change. There are
others, however, who express the belief
that the free thinkers have in fact
dealt blow to religion that it will take
many years to overcome. The full
effect Of the law will not be felt until
the present generation of priests and
prelates has passed away for existing
priests are to receive certain stipends.
No priest ordained after the enactment
of the law, however, will receive any
aid from the civil government This
feature of the law will enable the
Church to adapt itself to the change
gradually. 1t is to be hoped that before
the full force of the law is felt that the
French peasants will have learned how
to support their Churches independent
ly of aid from the government. After
all this is not the worst feature of the
new situation. The worst feature is
the supervision which the State still
maintains over the religious associa-
tons and over Church property. The
new order of things virtually confirms
the wholesale confiscation of Church
property that was ordained under the
French Revolution but which was in a
measure rcmedied by Napoleon in the
! COncordat which has just been abol-
iShed.

Exclusive Society Event.

In the Minneapolis Tribune we find
the following by Quentin:
THE most exclusive of recent we'd
dings was solemnized in Canadaigua,
N. Y, very recently for it was strictly
an O'Brien wedding.
"Stalwart Daniel OBrien was the
groom and the fair bride was Nellie
O'Brien, while Elizabeth O'Brien as
maid of honor attended the bride, and
Michael O'Brien, the best man, kept
the ring from getting lost. The guests
who were all honored by the name of
O'Brien, We're waved into pews by the
white gloved hands Of M. c. and J. B.
O'Brien, the ushers. After the inn
pressive words of the Rev. John J.
O'Brien had made the young couple
man and wife, the O'Brien guests par
took of the dainty refreshments served
by Florence O'Brien, the caterer In
the midst of festivities young Mr.. and
Mrs. O'Brien bade each and every
O'Brien goodbye and left for the sta
ton in a carriage furnished by O'Brien
Bros Livery, with Dennis O'Brien
himself on the box to drive Them"
Good! May the stalwart Daniel and
his fair bride live a long and useful
life and may their tribe increase is the
wish of another of the name.

We learn from the Suns correspon-
dent in Rome that the Pope has ordered
a translation of President Roosevelt's
messages into Italian, says the New
York Post. His Holiness, it appears,
following the example of Leo Kill, is
preparing an encyclical on social prob
lens, and Graves the advantage of
studying Mr.. Roosevelt's authoritative
utterances. This is a gratifying rec
ognition of the labors of an American
investigator; for the Presidents mes
sages reveal clearly that he has been
an assiduous student of economic and
social problems. To review his rec
concentrations to Congress, upon these
subjects, since 1901, is to gain fresh adj
miration for the ardor with which he
has pursued his researches in a field
that was rev to him.

Our article of last week commenting
on the views of Alderman-Elect SAKE,
of the Second Ward, caused consider
able discussion, some saying that there
is no law by which the city should con-
denim any property for cemetery pur-
poses. For their benefit the writer
looked up the matter and found the fol-
lowing: Laws of 1895, Chapter 8, Sec
ton 1873, "Cities may maintain a GEM
etery within or without their limits;
may acquire same by condemnat ton"
A number of the active workers of
fraternal organizations say that the
matter should be pushed as funerals are
too expensive. 1t would do much more
good, they say, to give the money to
the widow and her helpless family.
The officers and many members of the
Miners union say that Alderman SAKE
should get the support of all citizens
interested in the welfare of the city.
Think of the consolation it gives one,
says an officer of the union, to walk
out to a cemetery within reasonable
distance and pluck from the grave of
friend or relative a weed and place
in it's stead flower symbolic of love
for the departed. 1t is duty the liv-
ing owe the dead.

RosToN's NEW MAYOR.

On last Tuesday John F. Fitzgerald,
Democrat. was elected Mayor of the
City of Boston by a majority of over
eight thousand after a campaign of
great bitterness and much mud sling
ing. Mr. Fitzgerald is the publisher of
the Boston Republic which is one of
the most valuable and interesting ex-
changes that comes to this office. He
is still young man but has already
had an extended career in politics. He
represented for three terms Boston
District in the Congress of the United
States. He was also for several terms
)wn state.
At the recent Democratic primaries
lie was nominated over Edward J.
Donovan who represented the Demo-
cratic organization i'm the City of
Boston. The bitterness of the primary
campaign made the fight for Mr.. Fitz-
gerald more difficult than it otherwise
would have been. for Boston is always
reliably Democratic when there is no
division in the party
Notwithstanding Mr. Fitzgeralds at
tempt to keep 'the religious question
out of the campaign just ended his re-
ligion was made. cOvertly ut first but
openly at last, an object of attack. 1t
is gratifying to know that the anti
= Catholic feeling is no longer suftie lent
to defeat a deserving candidate in the
City of Boston. Mr. FitZgerald's rec
ord while in Congress furnishes an
assurance that his administration of
the mayoralty of Boston will be
-of action. His work in the House of
| Representatives was such as to draw
from the late Senator Honr high COM
mendation. He is now but forty years
OF age and was first sent to Congress
when but twenty-scven. His CAM
paign for nomination in which he de-
Democratic organization and secured
the nomination for himself has earned
for him the reputation of being the
clevercst politician in Boston" His
election against the passive opposition
of many of the Democratic leaders and
the open opposition of those unfrendly

I he has lifted himself from the WORK
bench at a salary of few shilings a
! week to that of Il Cabinet officer draw
ing ten thousand dollars a year. His
success is due to his unquestioned abil-
ity and to the efforts on the part OF the
Liberal Party to placate the fast grow

leader
men and may, if they take the right
course with reference to the Irish uues-
ton. hold the reigns of government in
England as long as did Gladstone. The
Irish question is bound TO be Stun
bling block if they attempt to evade
it. 1t was the Irish question which di-
vided the Liberal Party under Glad
stone and sent many of the leaders
over into the Conservative Party but
even after the loss of the Liberal Un-
ionists Gladstone was able to control
majority in the country. A straight
| forward campaign in behalf of Home
Rule under the Liberals might send
Lord Rosebery openly and permanently
into the opposition ranks where he has
been for all intents and purposes for
several years last past. Evasion of the
Irish question will lose at once the sup
port of John Redmond and eighty odd
Irish Nationalist. More than that, it
will mean that the votes of 1rishmen
residing in cities in England will be
thrown against the Liberal candidates.
The Irish voters in such cities as
London, Liverpool, Manchester and
Birmingham are sufficient to defeat
many a Liberal candidate OF course
there is no representative of Ireland in
the new Cabinet. Ireland is a part Of
Great Britain but it never takes any
part in ruling Great Britain. No king
would ever think of selecting an Irish
man. no matter how able he might be,
to form a ministry, and no Prime Min
lister has ever invited one into Cabi-
net, yet there are many wellmeaning
people who wonder why there is so
much talk about Home Rule for
Ireland.

John Brady was a brother of T. HI.

ago. He ran passenger train engine
between Galveston and Palestine, Tex
as, which road is now a part of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas system. The
old time railroad men of a quarter Of
a century ago will remember him for
his capabilities and sterling worth. He
was secretary of Division 1874, Brother
