In Memoriam,

These are the words spoken by
Harry Chapman as lie was dying
Tuesday morning, November 19,
1907. That he was so happy and
willing to leave this world in death.
He told US how glorious it was in
the other world and how this world
was not good enough for him to live
in any longer. He told us how the
church he belonged to, or believed
in was Our Holy Catholic Church
and it was the same in Heaven.
Every time he closed his eyes he
told us that the Priest was standing
in the center Of the world blessing
the people, and that there was no
sorrow and that the people were so
happy. He prayed and sang so
nice and made us pray with him,
and we tried with all our strength
to save him but he said we couldn't.
He said even our Jesus Christ was
crucified, died, and was buried, so
why should not he go to that Holy
land. He said for us to stand in a
row, three of us, and We did, and
he made us keep quiet and bless
ourselves and when we did he said
now the people are coming for me,
so he shook hands with us and bid
us good bye and told us not to cry
as it wasn't necessary to mourn.
He showed us all the good things,
how nice and holy everything was,
and how we were suffering on this
earth and that he was going where
they suffer no more. So at 12:4O
a. NJ. he passed away.
Mrs. CLARA CHAPMAN.
Mrs. LENA ORION.

 A STATEMENT

W Y. Dwyer, the Main street butcher. who had d fight witht A. T, Whitclaw. q local attorney, Fri- day, yesterday sent the following statement to the Graphic:
 Your paper of Friday had an article about personal difficulty between A. T. Whitelaw and my self. In regard to same will say, l had some words with him over the phone a few days ago, and thought no more about it, as he has passed me several times on tne street. As l was coming from my dinner Friday, I met him about half way between Sixth and Sey- enth avenues on Main street. paid little attention to him, just as l got near him he struck me in the face. l had on my heavy over coat and my hands in my pockets. l have but very little use of nay right arm at all. We went togeth- CT and while l show little the worst of it, I did not ask bystand- CTS to .ake Whitelaw loose from me and hold him till I could get away. as ne did. It did not happen, es stated. in my place of business.

AMERICAN
 TO BE A LORD

Londuon, Dec. G.-Albert Kirby Fairfax, the New York clerl. has de- cided to assume the title of Lord Fairfax and to take his seat in the house of lords. When the fact that he had inherited the title and estate Of Lord Fairfax was first announced to the young man he declared that the English peerage had no attrac- tiens for him, that he could refuse to assume the title Since then how eyer. he has apparently changed his mind and will renounce his alle- glance to the United States and be- come subject of King Edward. Many legal preliminaries will have to be accomplished before Lord Fairfax can take his seat in the house of lords, but he will likely be able to participate in the next ses- sion of parliament. It is said that Fairfax will be the first American citizen to occupy place in that au- gust body.

BICYCLE RACE
 AT GARDEN
News Item

New York, Dec. 7.-The annual six day bicycle race will start tomorrow night at midnight and continue until Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. Radical changes have been made in the rules governing the long grind and it is thought that former disgraceful episodes will be eliminated. Unfair Or foul riding will be severe ly penalized under the regulations pre- scribed by the officials of the Nation al Cycling association. Never in the history of the fourteen contests of this kind which have taken place in the garden has such an array of American and foreign talent entered for the race, and the struggle for first honors will doubtless be an ex- citing one.

Even coal is affected by the fi- nancial stringency and a material slump has resulted. E. G. Hickey, official of one of the leading coal selling agencies in the south who is in Little Rock today makes this statement: "The slump in the coal market will be over about the mid de of January,' said MT. Hickey. but little coal is being sold at the present time There are many reasons for this. It has been an open winter and very little coal has been used in residences. On ac- count of the financial stringency the manufacturers are not pur chasing any more steam coal than is absolutely necessary. The cotton crop was short and about the time seed reached the oil mills the finan- cial stringency came on and the New York purchasers of the oil would not accept the contracts and this caused a shutdown in the cotton
 oil mills. On January 10th the
 miners and operators meet to agree on new mining scale. which will go into effect April 1st. There is one chance in ten thousand that an agreement will be reached at this time as there is but little stock now at the mines the operators must get busy very soon, as the consumers xwill lave to buy ahead in anticipa
