WHITE AND WASHINGTON.

Richard Grant White. father of the murdered man. was a medical student. but turned to law and then, by force of taste and genius. became a news paper man and also wrote some clever books. He displayed admirable skill in explaining Shakespeare, in which, in deed he became authority. He died at 63, but had lived to see his son one of the smartest young men in New York and already making his mark in that profession in which he won such en- viable rank. Richard Grant Whites best literary production was his sonnet on Washington, which is the cIeverest thing ever written on the Father of his Country, and this being Fourth of July week, l favor my readers with a copy so that they may add a gem to their scrap-boOks:
 High over all whom might or mind
 made great,
 Yielding the cOnqueror's crown to
 harder hearts,
 Exalted not by politicians art, Yet with a will to meet and master
 fate,
 And skill to rule a young, divided state, Greater by what was not than by
 what was done,
 Alone on histOry's height stands
 Washington: And teeming time shall not bring forth
 his mate
 For only he of men on earth was sent In all the might of minds integrity; Ne'er as in him truth, strength and
 wisdom blent;
 And that his glory might eternal be, A bOundless country in his monument, A mighty nation his pOsterity."

Chicago woman prayed for fifteen years before the plaster image of the saint interested in such matters for a husband. Her faith finally failed and she threw the image out of the win dow. That did the business. When the man with broken head opened his eyes it was to gaze into those of the unwilling spinster. She nursed him back to life-married life.

Claim Condemned Cattle We're Not Sold For
Food Purposes.

Boston, Oct 2. The report OF Atty
Gen Q. g. Fits OF Vermont regarding
the sale OF diseased cattle In Massa-
chusetts, has moved George w. Coblis
manager OF the New England Dressed
Meat & Wool Co., to say mo diseas
ed cattle from Vermont are being
slaughtered In this establishment as
stated In an official report OF Atty. Gen
G. @. Fits, made public by Gov o. j.
Bell. This would be impossible as a
corps OF government inspectors ex.
anime every animal received.
J. G. Mayo, superintendent OF the
New England Meat Il Wool Co., natly
denied the charges made against his
company In the report made public by
Governor Bell OF Vermont In which II
is alleged that condemned cattle sent
out OF Vermont have been used for
food purposes.
DIR Austin Peters, chairman OF the
cattle bureau, corroborated the state
ment OF Mr. Mayo and ridiculed the
idea that the charge made was found,
cd on facts. He said that the United
States inspectors at the plant careful
,ly examine every sh pment OF cattle
for signs OF tuberculosis and Other
disease, and where any serious trouble
exists the beeves are rendered and
disposed OF under the eyes OF the In.
spectors. A very small per cent OF the
cattle are found unfit for food pur.
poses and oftentimes cattle are passed
which have some slight trouble, which
In nowise affects their value for food
products. The company could not sell
condemned beef without the knowledge
OF the inspectors.

In published address 10 the policy
holders, Ex-Gov Car. oil S. Page says:
"a mighty struggle is being waged
by Wall street capitalists for the con-
troll OF the five hundred million dollars
OF assets of the Mutual Life. With
the assets OF the Mutual Life the New
York Life and the Equitable Life in
the hands of the Standard Oil and the
j. Z. Morgan interests, panics can be
created and the prices OF stocks can be
moved up or moved down at the will
of those men.
"They-have only to withdraw from
the banks and trust companies OF New
York City the Fifty to one hundred mil.
lion dollars which these three compau'
les always have on deposit there, to
create monetary panic which depr5s
SEES the values of stocks, while the re
turn OF this money to the banks again
relieves the stringency and stocks re-
bound. II is out Of these depressions
and mutations that Wall street has
amassed its millions and will continue
to amass, them, If permitted to use
your money and mine for its own self
