10 our write-up of our visit
to the home OF Col. and Mrs.
Gene Sullivan, last week, we
stated that Mrs. Sullivan was
the proud owner OF 2co young
chickens. We should have
stated 500. The chickens roost
high and Gene owns a fine
shotgun and has an eye that
never sleeps. Beware. Mrs.
Sullivan, through the goodness
Of heart, gave US two beautiful
brindle pullets which each had
two gizzards and two livers.
Thanks, awful.
Some time ago we offered
thirty cents for the wherea-
bouts OF Fay Branstetter, Carl
Sanford, Jesse Bratton, Gro
yer Harris and Art Landman.
All have "come back'' but
Landman. Poor Art, poor
Art. But we learn he is happy
on the way back, and il his feet
don't give out, he'll be back.
In the memorable words Of
Col. Bob White, "They all
come back We shall Dor
row 80 cents from DR.. Marks,
pay the reward and give the
whole bunch a dove and big
fat pickle supper at the Hotel
Waverly. Great rejoicing!

Trade, crop and Industrial reports are
rather more irregular. Interest as TO dis
tributive trade has now largely passed
from the wholesale and jobbing branches.
to retail trade, the development and pro-
portions of which will be closely scrutin-
lied from now on. So far the reports as
to this line are conflicting, being best i'm
parts of the Northwest, Southwest and
South, and relatively slackeSt at the East,
which needs sharp, cold weather for best
activities. Jobbing business is fair as a
whole, it being noted that house trade is
very quiet, while hlling-in orders vary
with sections reporting The money
stringency is an additional feature which
attracts attention, affecting as it does the
item of collections on past transactions.
As to this item of collections, too. it may
be said that holding of crops has been a
subject of complaint from several points.

OpuIence I'm Old Document.
While the body of Mrs. Cassie l.. Chad
wick was being lowered into the grave at
her childhood home-W oodstock, Ont
the Other day, there was made public in
Cleveland a will she made two years be-
fore her strange criminal career was ex-
posed. There is a remarkable contrast
between the pathetic funeral scene in the
little Canadian cemetery and the picture
of opulence told in the words of the viii.
Altogether the document is one of the
most interesting yet found in connection
with Mrs. Chadwick's operations. The
will disposed of over 81 100000 worth of
property, in which her son, daughter and
husband, a retinue Of servants, relatives
in distant cities and friends all were to
share to the extent of hundreds of thou
sands. Charitable institutions, ten Of
them, including Charity, Cleveland and
Lakeside hospitals, are remembered to the
extent of $4,000 to 100000 each. The
Humane Society was to get $J0,OOO.
Western Reserve university, an especial
object of favor, was bequeathed $780,
600 cash and was to benefit under other
generous provisions. In every case of be-
quest to an institution Mrs. Chadwick
stipulated that she should receive full
credit, ordering that the funds be named
Chadwick memorial funds" and that if
buildings be erected they be called Chad
wick" buildings. The WILL made in Jan
uary, 1902, was, of course, revoked by
that made since her Imprisonment. In
any event it would have been totally in
operative in the light of later develop
ments. The document was made public
by Nathan Loeser, receiver in bankruptcy
for Mrs Chadwick.

Mrs. Besant Against Moral Code.
In her address before the twenty-first
annual convention of the American sec
ton of the Theosophical Society Chi
cago, Mrs. Annie Besant the new world
president of the organization, took pro-
nonnced stand against the adoption of a
fixeG moral code, and against tho impos-
zion of penalties by the society for any
individual action. She held that TIC
osophists are at one in their desire to
raise/the moral tone of society, and they
differ only as to whether their ideas
should be enforced by penalties. For her.
self, she would stand for the affirmation
of their ideals and for efforts to live up
to them. She said Il appeal to the un-
folding divinity in man, and not to the
beggarly elements of coercive laws; |
gladly affirm my brotherhood with the
lowest, as / reverently hope to be ac-
cepted as brother by the highest" She
said further that none Of the great re-
ligions had a penalty enforcing its COM
mandments by exclusion, but, on the con-
trary, they regarded it as a primary duty
to try to improve their evil-doers. She
thought the Theosophical Society would
not wish TO copy the example of those
churches which employ heresy trials and
accommodations. Such a code would
be the denial of brotherhood. In illustrate
ing her point of view in one of her talks,
Mrs. Besant used the personality of John
d. Rockefeller as an example, saying that
in his next incarnation he would probably
reappear as a highly developed and per-
fected individual; in fact, almost an
angel She explained that he would prob
ably retain all of his capacity for doing
things, and slough off the baser motives
and aims actuating his present career.
The society voted by large majority
against the proposed code
