GOOD ADVICE
For Railroad Men-Mr. Connors Puts
Premium on Marriage

1t is learned that General Super
irtendent NJ. S. Connors of the
Hooking Valley, Ohio Central and
Kanawha and Michigan, in the
course of his speech dedicatlng the
new Railway Y. N. c. a. at Mid
dleport, put a premium on matri-
mony by offering to credit any EN-
ploye of the road with 80 days
good time, if he were married
within 60 days.
Already one young man has
written in to ask Mr.. Connors to
redeem his promise, and several
others are known to be about to
take advantage of the offer, which
still has 80 days to run. 1t is re-
ported that committees represent
ing other divisions under Mr.. Con-
nors will shortly wait on him, ask
ing him to make similar offering
to them.

each of the participants an excel.

She was forced to respond to two
encores, which We're rendered in an
exquisite manner.

NEUROLOGY
Death Of Iehn s. Brasee

Judge Brasee, one Of the deans Of
the legal profession In Central OHIO,
died at his home on West Fifth
avenue, Lancaster, at 9:30 Thurs
day morning of last week. The ILL
ness that resulted in his demise
dates back about two weeks, though
he has been an invalid for some
years.
John Scofeld Brasee was born in
August, 1882. He was the son of
John Trafferd Brasee, one of the
pioneer attorneys of this section,
who practiced law with Henry
Stanberry and Thomas Ewing.
Judge Brasee was educated at
Kenyon College, Gambler, O., and
studied law with his father, in
this city.
In 1875 Governor Hayes appoint
ed Judge Brasee a member of the
codifying commission and he served
in this capacity for four years,
with Hon. NJ. A. Daugherty and
George B. Okey. During this
time he lived at the Neil House
in Columbus, spending Sunday
with his family in this city. For
many years Judge Brasee was one
of the bright legal lights of this
county. Endowed with wonder
full legal mind, he was for years in
the front rank in the local bar as
sociation, was employed as counsel
by the c. & NJ. V. Railroad, and
up to a short time ago was still
consulted by attorneys in railroad
cases. About three years ago, on
account of failing health, he was
obliged to retire from the active
practice of law. At one time he
was rendered the position of gen.
eral counsel for the Pennsylvania
lines west of Pittsburg, but as it
would necessitate his moving to
Pittsburg he declined the post.
Mr.. Brooks, who was afterward
Vice President of the entire Penn
sylvania system, took the position
declined by Judge Brasee.
On the 9th of last December Mr..
and Mrs. Brasee celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary at
their home here, and kept open
house. All their children were at
home to celebrate the affair.
The deceased is survived by his
wife, formerly Mary Ann Dickin-
son, daughter of DR.. J. A. H. Dick
finson of Newark, and six children,
John T. Brasee, assistant to Com.
missioner A. I. Vorys in the State
Insurance Department, Columbus !;
Charles D. Brasee, attorney at law,
of Lancaster; Mrs. Charles Saw
yer of Muskogee, Indian Territory;
Mrs. Frank Sands, of Meridian,
Connecticut; Miss Anna Brasee,
Mrs. Clara B. Towt, and brother,
George Brasee, of Lancaster, and
two sisters, Mrs. j. H. Hamhill, of
Newark, Ohio, and Mrs. j. H.
Salisbury, of Yonkers, N. Y,
survive him.
! The funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon, with large at
tendance. The Episcopal service
was used; the Bar Association at
tended as body; a special train
from GAINESVILLE brought officials of
the C. d NJ. V. Railroad and other
citizens to the obsequies; the flo-
raj tributes from Bar Association,
c. & M. V. officials and friends
were magnificent. The pallbearers
) were Judge John G. Reeves, c. w.
: McCleery, Hon. A. 1. Vorys, VIM.
Davidson, Thomas H. Dolson and
Chas. c. Pickering, local attorneys.

teachers deduct from their proper
ages because some School Directors
are opposed to employing teachers
over 80, as they are generally
cranky"
Why should applicants for GER
tificates to teach be required to
state their ages2 Is it not suffi-
cient to qualify as being old
enough under the rules laid down 2
What business is it of a Director
whether woman teacher is 25 or
So? The discrimination is unjust,
and is itself ''cranky." There is
too much effort to regulate en-
ployment by rote. The absolute
qualification for the duties of a
teacher is the thing that should
tell. There may be good many
"cranks'' in the teaching profess
sion. It would be amazing if
there were not. Teaching is a
business by itself. The person en-
gaging in it usually becomes
speedily unfit for any other occu-
patton. 1t is terrible cross to be
obliged to deal with the "young
idea'' by wholesale. The troubles
of SO families may be concentrated
in one teacher. There ought to be
great deal of allowance for
"crankiness'' on the part of
woman who has risked her amia-
bility for 10 or u years in a pub
lie school-room. If she is not a
crank, she is not fit to teach school.
She is mistaken in her occupation.
She ought to be an angel.

weatherwi.e River Men.

River men who have followed the
Potomac from youth to old age are full.
Of wise weather sayings that come as
near being correct as do the predictions
Of the more scientific observers. An
old river man who as master on sailing
vessel and steamer has travelled to and
fro on the Potomac for the past fifty
years said that he had often noticed
that as the weather is on the first
three days Of December in each year
SO will the weather be in the, three
months of winter-that IS, as the 1st
OF December is so will December be;
January will be like the I'd and Febru-
ary like the Sd. Another saying is as
the weather is on the Thursday be-
fore the new moon so will be the
weather for the greater part Of the
moon.-Washingto Star.

With Only One Opening

Acknowledgement Ellis in an
opinion recently rendered upon re-
quest of State Mine Inspector Har-
rison held that no shaft mine in
the state shall be operated with
but one opening.
There are many small mines in
the state with but one opening,
and it has been heretofore held al
lowable to operate them as long as
no more than 20 persons were EN-
ployed in the mine. Mr.. Ellis
holds that such mines cannot be
operated at all for the production
Of coal, and miners can enter. and
work in them only for the purpose
of making a second opening.

TRAP SHOOTING.
Slaughter Of Birds Brutal and Without
the Pale Of Sport.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph
Naturally the ammunition makers and the
gun clubs are opposed to the passage of a
bill that would prevent the trap shooting of
birds. And, also naturally, influence can
sometimes prevent the passage of desirable
bills in every legislature. If the bill to pro-
hibit trap shooting in Pennsylvania should
become law ammunition makers would
lose a considerable source of income. be-
cause many thousands Of birds are annually
slaughtered In this state by the gun clubs
slaughtered as a gambling affair or for
pleasure. They would perpetuate the brutal
slaughter SO that their income might not be
lessened.
Generally speaking. the gun clubs-or trap
shooters-are of two kinds. The first shoot
for money. Each contestant in a match
puts up certain specified stake and he
who can Kill the most birds from out a pre-
scribed number wins the blood money Some
OF these shoots are continued for days
The second kind is composed of gentlemen
who shoot for fun They are not pro-
no less execution than the others. They
have no inclination for legitimate hunting
They prefer that their victims be brought
to them, so that the fatigue and-to them
discomforts of hunting may be avoided.
And so at their ease. having obtained the
birds. they shoot. MAIN and kill to their
great delight, with no law to prevent the
shameful deed. To say that these men shoot
birds to improve their aim is nonsense. TO
say that this barbarous so-called sport Is
necessary to fit Americans to protect their
country is silly. 1t is all to glut the lust of
killing The legislature should pass the
trap-shooting bill at this session.
