Washington, April g. The Pres-
dents selection of Benjamin r. Barnes,
his assistant secretary. TO bc post
master of Washington, has raised a
storm u is being criticised as a car
pethag' appointment, Barnes being
Jcrsnyman. Members of the House
and Senate criticise it.and 10 is reported
that an effort will be made to defoat
the confirmation.
The feeling on the subject was shown
last night i'm the appearance of the
Evening Star. the administration
strongest supporter In the city press.
The Barnes matter breaks out all over
the paper. First there is a cartoon
representing the President handing
the District of Columbia an April
fool cigar. which explodes, the face of
Barnes appearing i'm the smoke.
while the President shouts, april
fool. - Next there are three columns
of interviews with prominent citizens
OF the District and members of Con
gress, all condomning the appointment.
Barnes, who was assistant secretary
to President Roosevelt, figured in the
violent election of woman from the
White House, recently.
The leading editorial article is de
voted to the subject, and says the
President has rewarded 'his tactless
and too strenuous bouncer' by giving
him the Washington postollice at
double his present salary. "There re-
mains logically to be rewarded" saws
the editorial, "at the expense of the
I District the policeman who shared with
I Mr.. Barnes the honors i'm the Morris
/ drag-out. What shall their harvest
be-a local iudgeship, commissioner
ship or superintendency Of policeY"
The Star prints a string Of clippings
from other papers ridiculing the ap.
| pointment Then all over the editorial
page are scattered detached paragraphs
! like these:
'The application of White House
strong arm methods TO the local postal
service may relieve the patrons Of the
office of the necessity Of licking theii
own stamps. -
Much as Oyster Bay approves OF
the President it would rise in indigna-
tion if he used his influence TO sup.
plant its local men in local Offices. -
The April fool wage becomes less
violent as the years 90 by. His styl,
Of humor is falling into disesteem anC
is but seldom exploited to any shocking
extent The recent appointment of Z
postmaster for Washington offers
contrary argument but it is only on,
Of those exceptions which proves the
rule. -

City Council.

The City council met Saturday
night pursuant to adjournment. All
members were present. The meet
ing was held primarily for the pur-
pose Of signing the amended con-
tract for lighting submitted by the
Manchester Light, Heat & Power
company. The original contract had
been rejected by the Council because
of the fact that under its terms the
city became liable for any damage or
injury occasioned by the erection,
construction or maintenance of the
lighting plant. The amended con-
tract submitted by the Council for
approval by the lighting company
contained provision to the effect
that "the city shall not be response
bic for any injury or damage oc-
casioned by the erection, construc-
ton or maintenance of said plant
and that should action be brought
against the city for any damage or
injury SO sustained, and judgement
rendered by the court, this company
shall assume the full obligation of
said judgment, and the fact that
such Judgment is rendered shall be
sufficient evidence thereof The
prices submitted by the company,
and accepted by the city are as fol-
lows: $1,000 per year for each l6
and 80 candle power light; and
1928 per month for eacharc light.
The contract was dated September !,
1905, and continues in force until
Sept. l, 1910.

real novelty is the chorus, the ladies

all, is the keynote of success of all

Rollin Lewis, Dead.

Rollin Lewis was horn in Lorain
county, Ohio, seventy-six years ago,
and was there united in marriage
with Miss Mary Zimmerman in 1854.
They came to this county a. few
weeks after their marriage and set
tied on the farm in Delaware and
E,Honey Greek townships, on which
they have ever since resided.
| He is survived by his wife and
two children, Oliver II. Lewis OF
this township, and Mrs. Mary Rol-
Inns of Lorain, Ohio.
The deceased enlisted in Co. f.,
21th Iowa Vol. Infantry and served
as member of that company for
nearly three years, having been hon
orably discharged before the expira-
ton of the term Of his enlistment,
because Of wounds received in the
line OF duty, which prevented his
further service, and rendered him a
cripple for the remainder of his
life.
By his death which occurred ut
his home on the Goth inst, this
county loses one Of its best citizens,
his widow and children kind and
devoted husband and father.
All Of the members of the family
Of the deceased, and his grand
daughter, Alice N. Lewis of Jack

reayement.
The auditorium of the Method
ist Episcopal church was packed to
its fullest capacity early last Sunday
afternoon by the eager audience who
assembled to hear Dudley Bucks
beautiful Christmas cantata, 1.-THE
Coming of the King given by the
choir of the church under the d.
rection of Mr.. Howard L. Ram. Tt
was probably the most finished
choral service ever rendered in this
city by an amateur choir. There
was q mastery of technique and a
comprehensiveness of detail evidenc-
ed throughout that materially aided
the successful rendition Of such a
theme. The solo parts interspersed
throughout the service were sung by
Mrs. D. w. Williams, soprano; Miss
Blanche Baxter, mezzo-soprano; Mrs.
W. q. Gildner and Mrs. Il L. Ram,
contraltos; Mr.. Noble Arnold, tenor;
Mr.. E. B. Stiles and R. @. Keagy,
basses; and Mr.. Alton Durham,
Baritone; all Of whom fulfilled the
expectation of their admirers. Much
of the success Of the occasion is due
to the individual efforts of the
chorister, H. L. Ram, and Miss
Lillian Fleming, who presided al
the organ with rare ability. Fol-
this benefit of those who were un.
able to gain admittance last Sunday
the choir will repeat the choral ser.
vices next Sunday afternoon at {
lo'clock.
