JOINED THE MAJORITY.

After brief illness, Chas. A. Gard
ner died Friday morning at his home
in the village of Mosinee, the cause of
death being attributed to gall stones
He was in the city the week before in
attendance at the county board meet
ing and at that time was feeling in
pretty good health. The Monday
following, he was taken i'll, but remained
on his feet until Wednesday, when
he become so i'll that he was forced to
60 to bed.
Mr.. Gardner was one of the best
known men in the county. He was
born in this county in Novemb Der, 1857,
and lived here all his life.
In early life he followed farm
ng and numbering, but in the sum-
mer of 1887 with his brothers, George
and Henry, he opened general store,
in the village of Mosinee, under the
name of Gardner Bros Three years
later the brothers retired from the firm
and Mr.. Gardner had since conducted

Gardner & Co.
He was married in 1887 to Miss Effie
P. Locke, resident of Oshkosh, and
one son was born to them.
Mr.. Gardner took an active interest
in politics. Several years ago he was
elected chairman of the village board
and served as faithful and intelligent
member of the county board At the
time of his death he was chairman of
several important committees.
Besides the brother named he is sur
vived by his wife and son, Raymond.
The funeral was held yesterday after
noon, great many members of the

A pamphlet issued by the Warren
brothers, when they were in the asphalt
| instead of the bituminous pavem ent
business, contains the following:
when coal-tar is exposed to the vary
| ing conditions of the weather, as it is in
pavements, the volatile soil slowly
evaporate, leaving a coke. which is
| friable and which rapidly crumbles
under traffic.
eff an effort is made to defer the
period of crumbling, less oil is distilled
from the tar in its preparation; the
pavement, when laid is too soft in
summer and lacks the essential quality
of firmness. A long-lived coal-tar pave
ment has three phases of condition. (aJ
When first laid it is soft in hot weather;
it then (b) gradually loses the softening
oils by exposure to the weather, and for
a short period is quite acceptable; but
| it soon (c) loses all the oils and becomes
| friable, as already explained.
1t does not appear to be practicable
to determine with certainty the result
of any trial e coaltar in pavement,
owing to the difficulty of controlling
the process of distilling. Coal-tar, is
sensitive to changes of temperature,
and as pavement, gets hot enough to
become soft under our summer sun II
is impracticable to combine in a tar
| pavement the qualities of firmness in
summer and Elasticity in winter"
The report of the department of
public works in Brooklyn, n. Y, con-
tans the following extract: 1.-The
older the coal-tar pavements grow the
more easily and faster they fall into
decay. There seems no way of treat
ing them but by patching, and that has
been done as best it could, leaving them
still the subject of complaint"
| General q. A. Gilmore, a well known
authority, who was asked to advise the
Philadelphia authorities in regard to
paving material, said: "The coal-tar
| pavement is not recommended, for the
reason that the cementing substance is
a product of gas-tar obtained by distil-
lation of that compound. When placed
upon the street and subjected to
atmospheric influences, a slow and
gradual oxidation takes place by which
the tar loses its cementing qualities and
becomes inert. The particles of sand
then lose their cohesion and the pave
ment rapidly disintergrates
The Clay-Worker, issued at Shreve-
port, La, says: About twenty-five
years ago party of adventures came
through the cities of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois and perhaps other states, pro-
noting and selling what they called a
new kind of sidewalk pavement. 1t
was made of coal-tar, broken stone,
gravel and sand. The promoters OF
this kind of sidewalk pavement were

Negroes and Crap-shooting

There is a class of Negroes in
Springfield whose highest ambi-
ton apparently is to be allowed
to gamble. Whenever they think
the law will not be enforced they
gather tn mselves toga+her and
form crap game usually on Sat-
urday evenings when they should
take their money and pay their
grocery bills and other bills and
take something home to their
families. Sunday morning they
are written up in the dailies.
Negroes ought to be ashamed of
themselves especially those who
pose as respectabeS These same
people who are c..lght in crap
games have the temerity to pose
as political dictators.

Zoology's New Service.

Instead of going to geology and
physical geography to throw light on
zoology, DR.. Scharff of Dublin has re-
versed the process. In a paper read
to the biologists in Boston he proceed
ed from the general principle that the
distribution of animals now living on
the earth tells the story of the forma-
tion and changes of continents. The
fact that certain fauna are common to
widely separated regions, such as
Japan and the United States, points to
time when Asia was connected with
North America by land bridge near
Boring Strait. 1t is furthermore prob
able that the widely differing species
of eastern and western America prove
that these regions were once separat-
ed by water. This theory is a striking
example of the constructive imagina-
ton in science. Moreover, it is op-
posed to the hypothesis of Darwin
and Wallace, who held that insular an
imal life had an accidental origin. DR..
Scharff's theory really takes us no
farther back, says the New York Post,
than Darwin did to the origin of spe-
cies and the beginnings of life in the
great process of evolution. Men of
science are baffled by it as before,
and with Dubois-Raymond repeat their
ignoramus, ignorabimus.

Snake Killing Kitten.

George Fornwald, substitute mail
carrier, Bloomsbury, owns cat which,
strange to say, will not catch a mouse.
but spends it's time in the yards hunt
ing for garter snakes.
The cat so far this season has
caught three snakes and brought them
to the house, and after laying snake
down on the porch it goes back again
in the yard to hunt for more. Two of
the snakes the cat has caught were
captured in one day, while the other
was caught a day later. These three
are the only ones Mr.. Fornwald has
seen, yet some of the neighbors say
they often see the cat with a snake
in its mouth.
Whether or not the animal would
tackle anything larger than garter
snake is hard to tell, yet from the
fight it puts up when it gets hold of
one of these smaller species it is evil
dent that it would probably be able
to get away with a larger one. The
snake-kilfing cat is not very large and
is still nothing more than a kitten

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent ply
stefan for an obstinate case of eczema,
l resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip-
ton and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Gu
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely well, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble
In July of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were a
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

Histo,.. Paoeants.

Last year the town of Warwick,
England, celebrated outdoors some of
the most interesting events in its his
tory by pageant, in which hundreds
of persons assumed the character and,
in appropriate costume, performed the
parts of historic personages. This
year a similar pageant took place at
Oxford, and more lately there was an
other at Romsey. Mark Twain, who
was one of the spectators of the Ok
ford pageant, remarked that America,
which provides so many fine sights,
had never furnished anything to equal
that. The length and richness of Euro
pean history of course offer attrac-
lions for such a pageant which could
not be found in like abundance and
variety in America. Take, for exam
pie, the case of Romsey-a town so
small that comparatively few Ameri-
cans know anything about it; yet its
name was conferred upon it by the
Romans, and its actual history goes
back a thousand years. 1t was near
Romsey that William Rufus was shot
by bolt from crossbow, while hunt
ing deer in the New forest, and his
body removed in the rude cart of
charcoal burner, ignorant of the dead
mans identity. In the pageant lineal
descendant of the charcoal burner act
ed the part of his ancestor, and an
other part was taken by lineal de-
scendant of Walter Tyrrell, who is
supposed to have shot the king. But,
remarks the Youths Companion, if
such length of history as this is lack
ing to American cities and towns,
there is nevertheless no dearth of in
teresting event and stirring episode
which might well be produced in out
door pageants, designed, as those in
England have been, by students of the
local history, and produced by the
cordial cooperation OF rich and poor,
high and low, without thought of
money-making. 1t is a matter of re-
grC- among many studelts of social
development that the stage, which in
its early days was one of the greatest
of moral and educational forces, has
SO completely failed to maintain its
power. Might not the historical pag-
cant be made to do at least a part of
this neglected work?

100000 to the Congregational mission
board. A New England clergyman
started the protest, which was taken
up by Rev. Washington E. GLADDEN., of

reverberations. Rockefeller and his
friends replied to the issue and the

cry having meantime somewhat SUBJ
sided.
1t was in 1883 that Mr. Rockefeller
took his first important step outside of
church and mission work and became
interested in the University of Chica-
go. The late E. R. Harper, head of
the institution, had heard of the oil
king as a great giver, and, trusting to
luck, he made what he himself after
ward described as a running leap
toward him-and landed Mr.. Harper
was fluent and energetic man and
one of the most successful money
raisers that ever entered the educa-
tional field.
Under his persuasive eloquence Mr.
Rockefeller consented to become the
patron of the institution. He laid no
restrictions on the faculty or the trus-
tees as to creeds, dogmas or methods
of teaching. His initial gift of 1894 900
was made in January, 1889, and was
followed up with a gift of 100000 in
June. Since then he has contributed
