A CLERGYMAN EXPIRES,

Shortly before three o'clock, We'd
nesday, November %, 1906, after six
weeks OF suffering, Rev. G. III. McIn-
tosh passed from his earthly home
into his Fathers house. His departure
leaves aching hearts in the home in
which his life had been such bene
diction for twenty-six years; sore
sense of bereavement to the church in
which his years choice service has
greatly endeared him, and overshad-
ows the whole community, for the in
tluence of his sterling christian man
hood cannot be shut behind the four
walls of any church or creed. Charles
II. Mcintosh was born at Oswego,
New York State, April t. 1852. In his
childhood he removed with his par
ents to Canada where he was educated
and entered his chosen profession as
a Methodist minister. He came to
Council Bluffs in 1879 and was ordain-
ed as Congregational minister on
July Is, 1880. He was married on the
twenty seventh day of the same month
to Emma l.. Brainard, at Extra, Iowa
His first pastorate was at Anita, Iowa.
His first Wisconsin pastorate was at
Necedah; from there he went to Wash
burn; in both of these places he built
churches, which will stand as lasting
monuments to him. AT Menasha, his
next pastorate, he first felt slight
touch of that disease which was to
wrestle for years with an otherwise
magnificent constitution, aud finally
close his earthly career. Feeling a
change necessary he spent year or
two travelling and lecturing for the
American Missionary Association. In
the interest of this work he went to
Connecticut, where he afterwards held
two pastorates, at Clifford and at
Plantsville. Following his work there
he held pastorates at Washburn and
Worthington, Minnesota. Just year
ago he came to Plymouth as pastor Of
the Congregational church. Toiling
much, enduring much, fulfilling much, "
is the record of that years's work. In
looking back upon it we we find it so
Red Letter Days. The beautiful new
parsonage and the enlarged church
| will be constant reminders of his sum
mer's hard and painstaking work for
the church he loved On the walls of
our high school the picture of Sir
Gal ahad will ever be a reminder of
him who not only preached but lived
the creed of the Pure-hearted
Knight" Many friends in many states
join in sympathy with the bereaved
wife and daughter, Florence Mcintosh,
who survive him. The remains will lie
in state at the Congregational church,
Monday, from eleven until two o clock,
the latter hour being named for the
| funeral service. After the service the
burial will be made in private at the
city cemetery; the church officers act
ing as pail bearers. Judson Ellsworth
D. D., Of Plymouth Congregational
church, Milwaukee; Rev. Carter, OF
Beloit; and Rev. White, of Sheboy-
gan: old time friends of Mr.. Mcintosh,
will conduct the services. Plymouth,

Voted Il Down.

1t is surprising that Guthrie ounty
voted down proposition in favor Of
a small tax TO erect monument to
the soldiers of the Civil war, by a
majority of 400. The amount of tax
to each individual would have been
exceedingly small. That county was
pretty we'll settled and besides send
ing out one or more companies, fur
nished good many individual
soldiers for other regiments. The
proposition should have been sub.
mitted many.years ago.

BENEFIT FOR MGovERN.
Waterbury Friends Are Asked t

There are any number of sports in this city who at one time or another have reaped little profit by backing that great little pugilist, Terry Nc Govern, in his many ring battles. There are many more who have never bet on fighter, but who were always admirers of this little chap. To all these an appeal is now made to come to the aid of the little fellow who is down and out. He has taken the count himself this time, perhaps for all time. His mind has become un- balanced and his condition is pitia- ble one. To make matters still worse he has not dollar in the world. True, he has wasted what he did have, but the best of us do that many times. He has left wife and child, mother and younger brother in destitute circumstances. He was their chief support and to-day they find themselves thrown upon the charity of the world. Terry was a good fellow when he was Terry, but of late years that little old head of his has been going to the bad and at last the brain succumbed entirely and to-day he is a mental wreck. His friends are going to try and do some thing to assist him, and to that end have sent out an appeal to every city where McGovern is known. Water bury has been appealed to and if there are any friends of the little fighter who desire to aid this poor chap and his little family they can send subscriptions to the Waterbury Evening Democrat and the amounts will be promptly forwarded to the committee in New York. It doesn't make any difference how much or how little you give, as even the small est amount will show theespirit of the giver. Send your subscriptions di- rect to the Waterbury Democrat and you will receive receipt for what you give. It will be one of the ways in which you can do charitable act around Christmas time.

HANLON sHAKEs.T UP.

Manager Hanlon of the Cincinnati team has decided upon the biggest kind of shakeup before the Reds take the field in 1907. He has already sold Shortstop COrcoran to the New York Nationals and may let Joe Kelly come here too unless Pittsburg exerts q prior claim. Jim Delehanty will go to the St Louis Americans, Chick Fraser 10 the Chicago Cubs, Livingston and Siegel to Indianapo- lis and Bob Wicker to Columbus. Hanlon has made an offer to the St Louis Nationals for Catcher Mike Grady, upon whose services McGraw is said to have waived claim. He has also picked up tho cream of the playing talent in California and has also drafted many promising young sters from the minor leagues. First Baseman Deal will be suppIanted by John Ganzel. while Right Fielder Jude is slated for release. Hanion Is adopting the same methods which yielded a champion ball team for him in Baltimore twelve years ego. He wants a young blood team which will obey orders and hustle all the time.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
HOLY GROSS ATHLETICS.
Strong Team for Boston Games Lar.
 kin New Football Coach.

Worcester, Dec 1S.--Holy Gross track athlet1ca are on the boom just now. There are about fifteen men in
 the squad which daily shows up for
 from two and half to three hours practice in the gymnasium. The
 coach expects to have 8 strong team
 in the Boston A. A. games. Candi- dates for the team include many of the football players and number whose chances for the baseball team are considered excellent.
 Manager Eugene Mccarthy will
 not call out the candidates for the
 baseball team until after the Christ
 mas holidays. Some of the aspiring
 candidates for the team are anxious and are already practicing during the pleasant weather. Captain George Cashen expects that this year there
 will be plenty of candidates for the vacant positions and the coach, Dr Carney, will be greatly assisted by
 John Flynn, last years captain of the team and then first baseman of the Toronto team. Flynn after the league season was over, returned to
 the college and intends to remain un- til he graduates in the spring. Mo- Carthy is still busily engaged in com-
 pleting his schedule and is hopeful
 of it's being the best in the history of the college. He is experiencing
 much trouble with institutions whose
 dates he had thought already ar
 ranged for, as most of the managers 0s~ &~lv from home continuous.
 George E. Morris, graduate man. ager ot athletics. announced last night that Timothy F. Larkin of
 Worcester would next year coach the
 football team instead of George w.
 King of Springfield. Larkin was graduated from Holy Cross two years |ago, playing quarterback every year
 he was there in fine style. With green
 material he has placed, in two years,
 the Worcester academy team among
 the best in the country.

 Some painstakinS person has fig ured it all out that during the year about to end more fatalities occurred on the diamond than on the football field.

PIPE SMOKERS IN THE LEAD.
Some Tobacco Statistics About Yal9
 Class of Umpty.Nine.

A report of the investigation of the, freshmen class year ago at Yale by Dr William G. Anderson of the Yala gym, to ascertain facts relative to the amount of smoking among flrst-yea1 men in the university, is given in th4 Yale Alumni Weekly. Many of tkef men interviewed showed unexpected modesty in their statements .regard}I ing the use of tobacco and 1t Is saf4. to say that their returns have nOt been exaggerated. E9 There are 3S9 members enrolled n the class of 1909 and of this number 14S were smokers. Of the 148 mehs personal interviews were held with 122. The following questions wef0 answered in writing: Do you smoke a pipe. cigar or cigarette?" How many of each do you smoke daily3" How long have you smoked?" 'sDtd you smoke in your prep schpol?F From what school did you conn, and what were the rules abont Smok- ing?" How has smoking affecteds you?" .What comments have you 10 make?"
 The result after examining the pa. Ipers shows that the selection of the kind of smoking is as follows:
 Freshmen. Pipe only .............s... 30 Cigarettes only ............... Pipe and cigars only .......... q Pipe and cigarettes only... 47 Pipe, cigars and cigarettes. ..... 17 Sworn on. but smoked in prep
 school ....s... .Y........e..
 120
 Of the 120 men, no smoked ini their preparatory schools. Fifty eight schools were represented by the smokers. Andover leads the list with g, Exeter and St Paul's (Concord). each 6.
