Causes Death Of David
Redtie|d Proctor, Chicago.
Cousin Of the Vermont Senator
and Prominent Inventor.


Chicago. Oct 16.-David RedfielC
Proctor, 81 years of age. cousin o
United States Senator Redfeld Proc
tor Of Vermont, was found dead in q
cheap lodging house at las South
Clark street.
lie had been in Strengthened circum-
stances for several years. although he
made q fortune from the sale of royal
ties on an invention which he patent
cd in the early 7O's--a device which ar
rested and extinguished the sparks
from the tunnels Of locomotives, max
ing the kindling Of prairie fires by
passing trains an impossibility. In the
palmy days Of the Columbian EXPOSE
ton, lie was one of the most pic
turt slue characters who haunted the
offices of Director General Davis and
Architects Burnham and Graham with
offers of marvellous designs for en-
HANGING the beauty and magnitude OF
the great fair.
He designed the Proctor Morrison
tower, which was intended to make the
Eiftci tower seem q dwarf in COMPARE
son. For the rights to this tower he
was Offe red, it is said. almost 100000
and Il company to build it was start
ed under the presidency of Engineer
Morrison. the "steel Construction
bridge builder. But the collapse of
steele Mackaye's "SpectatOrium" thea
ter caused the business interests iden-
titled with the fair to, look with disfa-
vor upon 50 gigantic an enterprise as
that proposed by Proctor. The great
tower. which was to be 1000 feet higher
than the Filfel tower. at Paris. was not
built.
When Engineer Morrison was PLAN
ring to construct ut Memphis. Tenn.
the largest steel cahtilever bridge ir
the world, he entrusted the work oi
building a miniature working model OF
the structure to Inventor Proctor as
he was known.
The model was to be only two inches
square and was to have 912 joints and
almost as many separate pieces. Proc
tor completed it in two months. The
huge bridge was constructed exactly
after his model. He received $4,000 fol
the work. The first working gondolt
| launches at the Worlds fair were de
signed by Mr. Proctor.
When his lifeless body WAS found il
the dingy room in which he had LIVED
and dreamed his dreams of astounding
inventions for the last. six years. tn,
narrow little bed was simply festoonet
with tiny and carved models of flyint
machines which he had guarded a.
| embooiments of secret discoveries tina
lie claimed to have made in the field o
| aeronautics. - 81
Mr.. Proctor was a. native of Glouces
ter. A widow and two, daughters. Mrs
Arthur Rowe and Mrs. William H. Per
kins of Gloucester. Mass. survive.
| The managers of the lodging hous
told the police thatea doctor who ha'
been called to view the body foun

Origin of "AqnostIc."

Prof. Huxley invented the word "ag-
nostic." Finding himself one day a
man without q rag Of a label to cover
himself WITH" he concluded to call
himself by name of his own coming.
1t came into his head, said Huxley. as
suggestively antithetic to the gnostic
Of church history, who professed to
know SO much about the very things
Of which he himself was ignorant, and

taxes are too high; II you have been

assessed. the commissioners are ready
to do the fair thing. However. they may
not make the desired repayment solely
on the ground that your land is assessed
at higher figure than your neghbors. as
his land may be assessed too low. II
your land has been assessed too high, the

II there Is no African seereted in
the coal bin. (woodpiies and rail
fences being scarce in this latitude).
the interest in municipal politics is
unusually apaiheiie this year. Prom
inent citizens arc fighting shy OF the
job. Nobody seems anxious TO take
hold where the present administration
lets so. The retiring council has Sc;
;olerably hot pace. and IL i, has
not exactly mapped out a lot of wori;
for those who como after IL. the old
board !, leaving \ lot Of suggestions
that a new one can ae, upon IL !,
likes. and will have to &C; upon II
many things already done arc not
TO be allowed to so for naugh, after
putting money into them.
There Is the $4,000 pu; into trees
and roadway around the reservoir
hill. which IL kep, in mind and fol-
lowed up with modest expenditures
may be made TO mean much rs 10 the
future beauty and at,rac,ivencss OF
the town. a small number of tho
trees set out hsvc failed to grow. and
these should be promptly replaced in
order TO have uniform growth.
Others should be added. a present
able bridge should be built over the
Catlin canal n, tho foot of the hill
and the roadway connecting the drive
with the south end Of Main street
ought to be made pasSabiy attractive.
This much done We should no, be los
ing any ground At least while the pco-
pie arc learning to better appreciate
the most attractive view point and
the best park spot we have about,
the city.
There is something TO be done also
in the matter OF completing our new
water system, the installing of tho
new pumps in the wells and the cx-
tension Of the mains. in order TO get
the best results from tho investments
already made, In this connection
water connections OF coursc-it ma,
be said that the present board and
the water commissioner have been
doing some elaborate figuring and
they believe that for a maximum rate
OF s. per month water can be fur.
nishcd for an ordinary sized dwell
ing, a fifty foot lawn and cow yard,
giving all the water needed for bath
and closet, and meet the interest on
Investment; that with the revenue
from water consumption over the So
limit the current running expenses
of the plant can be met. This means
liberal supply OF good artesian wat
or without any increase of the tax
levy. If the figures given are reliable
it is important that we have a coun-
Gil concerned to carry out the water
program.
The other water feature of the
present administration or perhaps
more properly speaking, its anti-whis-
key feature, is one that has grown in
popularity, and manly so because it
has been lived up to. A council that
will follow in the footprints of the
retiring body in this regard is need
cd to command the respect we have
acquired for law and order. The
danger in the present apathy, or the
unwillingDess of other capable citi-
zeus to take their trick at the munich
pal helm, lies in the fact that it
makes possible the incoming of a
body who will be indifferent about,
these interests, and two years hence
we s. all be filled with disgust at the
slack condition of the towns affairs
and the pendulum will be allowed tc
swing to the other extreme, where it
