Obituary

John Lewis, son of ". ]. and Levie MeNeely. was born Deeem- Der zo, I9oz, and departed this life Nov. $, I9o5, near Selma, Ark aasas.
 The earthly.life of little John Lewis was short; but his departure leaves vacancy in the home circle that cannot be filled, and the fond parents are left sad and lonely Ev- cry effort was made to relieve aud restore the #Glac one to health again; but after lingering for sev- efal days the body gave way under disease, and the spirit returned to Sod who gave it.
 He who said, Suffer little cbil- dren to come unto me. and forbid them not, has taken little Tohu Lewis unto Himself.
 To those who mourn there is hope in the resurrection and com. fort in the thought that reunion is possible in the home, where sad partings never come.

Apart from the question whesh- CT Mf. Henry NJ, Whitney of Bos. ton misunderstood President Roose- velt's position on Canadian reef proeity and quoted him wrongly in the campaign for Lieutenant Gov ernor of Massachusetts. it will not be easy to muzzle tariff debate in the coming session of Congress.
 The President seems greatly ir- ritated at Mir. Whitney, but that is not the only nor the real cause of his refusal to discuss tariff changes with Governor Douglas and other Massachusetts manufacturers who went down 10 Washington to plead for relief from the tariff on raw materials. The same appeal has previously been made by letter to the President through Mr. Curtis Guild, IT., the Republican Gov ernor elect of Massachusetts.
 Whatever may be Mir. Roose. velt's personal feelings toward the Massachusetts men who poster him about the tariff, the real reason for his refusal to discuss the endless subject at this time is his desire to make sure of railroad freight-regu- lating legislation in the coming session. He has set his heart up- on this measure. His ssending of Secretary Taft 10 Ohio to answer Senator Foraker's attack upon this policy is proof that he means to Iet nothing stand in its way. F. erytbing elsa is subordinate and must wait,
 President Roosevelt's utterances of the past two or three years iudi. cate plainly enough that he ls not an ardent tariff reformer, bat 1t Is not unlikely that he would willing y listen to the grievances of Ding ley tariff victims if the attempt to give redress did not endanger the policy which he has made para mount.
 He knows that if the tariff is taken up 1t the beginning of the session the last of it will not be herad before adjournment; there fore lie would choke off tariff until the rates question is disposed of.
 But 1t is not certain that he will succeed. The Western deman d for tariff modification so strongly voiced ia the Reciprocity Conven- ton at Chicago in August Is still urgent, and behind it are some millions of Western farmers and manufacturers who will not pa tienJiy be put oil longer
 Among the manufacturers of Massachusetts, who are suffering from Western and Southern com petition, the situation seems to be becoming acute, and they may be expected to continue pressing their claims to attention upon Congres.

"TEARlNG" STRAW HATS.
New Joke That Sometimes Proves a Boomerang.

From the New York Press.
 Had your new straw hat torn" yet? It's trick practiced more extensively in the theatrical district of the city, but Is gradually extending. Sometimes 1t is attended with sanguinary results.
 The joker creeps up behind his vic tim, who Is usually engrossed in con versation. With a rapid movement he places his hands just above the uncon- scious ones ears, the fingers extended in catlike fashion on the brim of the hat. The nails are drawn across the brim outward, giving forth rasping sound, which to the wearer of the hat sounds as though the straw were being torn. The nerves of the skull act as a sort of megaphone, intensifying the sound.
 The joke is enjoyed most by those standing in front of the victim and who are able to watch the changing express sions of his face. Doubt, fear, anger and disgust are portrayed in rapid suc- cession as the victim claps his hand to his head, expecting to find a brim-' less covering. Then a procession Is formed and headed for the nearest TeIectOry.
 It sometimes happens, though, that man of quick temper will not stop to investigate possible damage, but turns on the perpetrator of the joke with right or left swing, feeling sure that his hat has been maliciously de- stroyed.
 The was almost the case with Bob Fitzsimmons, the pugilist, the day be- fore he sailed for Europe. His tall form was bent as he talked with friend, when Comedian Joe Weber played the hat-tearing joke. Without stopping to ask questions, the lanky pugilist made backward swing with his brawny right, which, had it taken effect. would have sent Weber through the plate glass window of a jewelry store. As 1t was, the atmosphere over the actor managers head was disturbed consid- erap.y and the wind waves nearly took the little fellow of his feet. His share in the general laugh that followed was decidedly faint.

ELECTRIC PLANT
 ID BE DISCUSSED It is Believed Citizens Will Favor the Enterprise NEE TING THURSDAY NIGHT Promoters Are of the Opinion That the Plant Would Soon Pay for Itself
 and Become Good
 Investment.
NEE TING THURSDAY NIGHT

Ensley. July 22.-(Special.) .)-rhe people of Ensley are very much interested in the result of the mass meeting to be held at the city hall next Thursday night to discuss the matter of building an electric lighting plant for the city. This meet ing has been called by Mayor Scott, ac- cording to instructions of the council, which met in regular session last Thurs day night.
 Many of the citizens are of the opinion that the lighting can be done by the city cheaper than by the present method.
 A month ago the committee of streets and lights was instructed to investigate plans and secure estimates of cost and report to the next meeting. This report was made last Thursday night. The re- port showed that the necessary plant could be properly equipped for about $l7,- 900, but the council did not feel disposed to saddle this expense upon the city with out first submitting the proposition to the people for consideration and some sort of decision.
 The mass meeting was decided upon as the best method of getting the question before the public and the call for next Thursdays meeting was issued.
 According to City Attorney Romaine Boyd the city cannot issue bonds for the purpose of erecting the plant and it Is proposed to mortgage the property for the purpose of installing the plant if the people decide in favor of the enter prise.
 It is the opinion of those behind the proposition that the voters and tax-pay- CTS of Ensley will favor the erection of the plant and 1t is believed that 1t would prove to be an economical expenditure as the light could be furnished cheaper, and more lights could be maintained.
 The meeting Thursday night will, no doubt, be well attended.
 Local and Personal.
 Prof. D. J. Moore has moved his family to Elkmont where he goes to accept the position of president of EllSmont college. Professor Moore was the first principal of the Ensley graded schools and has many friends here who regret to lose him.
 Oscar Greenleaf, aged 20, died at his home at Avenue F and Fourteenth street at an early hour this morning of tuber- culosis The funeral will be from the residence tomorrow morning at o'clock and the interment will be in Oakland cemetery. He will be given Masonic burial.
 Mayor N W. Scott and family have gone to their summer home some miles from town to spend the summer. The mayor will come in every morning and return at night.
