TO OBSERVE
LINCOLN'S

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The
American Missionary Association
has issued an appeal to Congrega-
tional churches, especially to their
Sabbath schools and Young Peo-
pies societies, to observe Sunday,
February II. in recognition of the
ninety-seventh birthday of Abra-
ham Lincoln. The association ex-
poets that at least thirty thousand
young people will respond to this
appeal this year, and that the
Methodist denomination will unite
in the observance of the day. 1t
appeals to other denominations to
do likewise, so that Lincoln Me-
mortal Sunday may become an in

TO BUILD A
HARPER LIBRARY
Csc Rips News Association.)

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 26.-The
sentiment among the professors,
students and alumni of the Uni
versity of Chicago, to honor the
memory of President Harper not
by the erection of a chapel, but by
the erection of an enormous IL
brary, is constantly gaining ground
and the board of trustees has de-
cided to hold a conference for the
purpose of considering the propo-
sition. Many prominent alumni of
the University have expressed
themselves in favor of the plan
and it is believed that a large
amount of money could be collect
ed without difficulty to carry out
the plan on the most generous
scale. The plan will be submitted
to erect a large library building in
memory of the late President Har-
per, at an expense of $1,500,0OO.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 26.-
A movement has been started to
appeal to the American public for
contributions of foodstuffs and
money to relieve the distress in the
famine stricken northern provinces
of Japan. According to informa-
ton received at the japanese en-
bassy here the northern provinces
of Japan are suffering from a Sc
we're famine which only the quick

According to the informat ton OBJ
tanned the rice crop this year has
been only about Is per cent of the
average crop and that the famine
is causing particular suffering in
the three northern provinces of
Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate,
which have together a population
of about 100000. Many of the
people are engaged in the silk trade
and the failure of the silk output
has augmented the general suffer

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.--
A lifetime spent in starving his
body and saving his pennies in or
der that a magnificent monument
might mark the final resting place
of himself and brother, is the story
of a window cleaner, Chas. Betz,
who died here the other day. Fifty
thousand dollars was the result Of
the mans life endeavor.
Alone and in the most wretched
poverty he lived in miserable lodg-
ings on Pacitic-st. The walls of his
dismal room were hung with such
grewsome momentos as the death
notes" of suicides.
Years ago Betz entered into
compact with his brother William,
each agreeing to devote his life to
cleaning windows and saving his
money which was to be invested
and used after their death for the
erection of a splendid monument
They lived in the most abject pow
erty. but seemed contented.
Some time ago William tired Of
his bargain and committed suicide,
leaving a lettle cautioning Charles,
to whom he left his share of their
earnings, to keep TO his agreement.
Charles took the note, had it franz
I'd in gold and hung it at the head
Of his bed.
Then Charles hunted up another
partner, Henry Mason. But Mason
was not long in following the ex-
ample of VIM. Betz. He also left
a letter giving all or his earnings
to Betz, who had Mason's death
note framed in silver and hung it
at the foot of his bed.

goods to Charles. who showed his
appreciation by framing their
death notes in costly style and
hanging them about his gloomy
chamber, until death came to him.
In going through the mans eff
fects Deputy Sheriff Newbert found
evidence showing that Betz had ac-
cumulated big fortune. Slowed
away in the breast of stuffed bird
was a letter denouncing all of his
relatives and bidding them beware
of his return to this earth after
his death.
When Betz' will was filed it was
found that only one of his relatives
was remembered-and that one, a
sister who is a nun in a Fort Madi-
son convent, was left five dollars.
He asked that his body be cremat-
ed at a cost not exceeding s2S and
his ashes mingled with those of his
brother. The balance of the $780,
600 was to be used in placing a
splendid monument over their
ashes.
There is no doubt but that there
will be a contest of the will by the
relatives whom he SO completely
ignored.

grant to the Central Arizona Rail
road company right of way across
the San Francisco mountains for
est reserve. 1t passed the house
and senate, but was checked by
the secretary of the interior and
vetoed by President Roosevelt. who
said
"There is no reason why this
railroad should be singled out to
be favored beyond all other rail-
roads by being excepted from the
necessity Of complying with the de-
partmentaI regulations with which
all other railroads are forced to
comply"
One of the telling forces Of the
senate system which operates for
special interests is irrepressibility.
Mr.. Hansbrough is generously en-
dowed with that quality. He re-
modelled his railroad measure, obvi-
ating the presidents objection, and
the next time it passed unnoticed.
A One-Time Radical.
North Dakota was surprised to
find such bills as these supported
by Hansbrough, who, when he was
setn to Washington, was known as
a "rabid anti-corporation man."
When two North Carolina citi-
zens had before the senate a bill
to grant them a dam franchise on
an available stream in Virginia,
Hansbrough challenged the bill, be-
cause, as he said, the senate COM
mittee on commerce had made it a
rule that grants should be made
"only to corporations"
Even though Hansbrough in 1896
allied himself with the free silver
forces, Senator Payne of Wiscon-
sin, the great road agent of the
Washington system, and Mark Han
ma induced the foremost republi-
cans of North Dakota to forgive
Hansbrough's financial heresy
Hansbrough then was sent back to
Washington. This action followed
a conference at the Merchants no
tel in st. Paul-still to large ex-
tent the real capital of North Da'
kota-at which Jas. j. Hill was
present in person.

Special Correspondence of The
Press.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 26.-
For comparatively new member
of the United States senate, Henry
Clay Hansbrough of North Dakota
has established for himself a repu-
tation as a climber in the special
interests.
Hansbrough, with a common
school education, started life as a
printer. His California and Dako-
ia Territory newspaper experience
was for but a stepping stone to
politics. He leaped from the may
orally of his town into congress,
and from there to the senate.
An interesting reference to his
past is missing from the Congress
sional Recrd. Perhaps Hansbrough
himself could explain why II pages
dealing with an Alaska gold mining
swindle have been dropped from
the permanent Record which has
been bound. Perhaps Senator
Thos. H. Carter, his colleague from
Montana, could.
