Dead. of Mrs. AgcI1IrIeY.


Mrs. William MCKINLEY died
Sunday at :05 O'Clock. No fash.
Toner of words could frame a tri.
butte to the memory of Mrs. No.
Kinlsy that would express the feel
ings her gentle and sweet life in
spired in the hearts of the Ameri-
can people. She was near and dear
to them, and the influence of her
womanly nobility must needs have
made a wide spread and lasting i'm
preston. No Presidents wife ever
quite stood in the same relation to
the people. She represented in
their eyes the highest type of wo-
manhood. Their regard for her
amounted to sacred passion
There is no romance in our Ma
tional history that made as deep
and lasting impression on the peo-
pie as the domestic relations of
President aud Mrs. Mckinley.
Theirs was love that never grew
old-a passion ideal, divine. A
sweeter or more ennobling example
of American domestic life, love
and home simplicity does not have
place in the history of the Ma
tons greatest public men.

Brains of Scientists.

Famous brains are of four sorts.
The lowest group contains the minds
that are stimulated greatly by alcohol,
tea and other drugs and by impress
sions derived from the senses; the sec.
ond group contains the infant prodl-
gies, whose intellectual powers wane
in middle age; the third group contains
the pathological cases, usually terml-
mating in insanity; the fourth and
highest group is that OF true geniuses,
whose powers remain unimpaired until
old age. This is Haussmann's classlfi-
cation. Spitzka has come to the con-
clusion that men eminent In exact sci.
ences, like astronomy and mathemat-
les. have the greatest average brain
weight. Next come the men Of action.
including statesmen and artists, and
after these come the biologists, geolo.
gists and other representatives OF tho
descriptive sciences.-Chicago Record

sauarlnu the cIreIa.

One of the problems that are Al
old as the science of mathematic.
is that of squaring the circle. By
squaring the circle is meant the
problem of finding the sides of a
square exactly equal in area to q
circle of given diameter. To do this
either by elementary geometry or by
expressing it automatically in com.
measurable numbers has been found
to be an impossibility. In other
words, the ratio between the diane
ter and the circumference of a cir
Gle cannot be exactly found even
though in the division the decimal
be carried out to 10000 figures. The
above being the exact facts in the
case, we will say that the problem Of
squaring the circle is one that has
long been given up by the mathema-
ticians as insoluble.

License.

The County Court meets to-day,
Wednesday, to pass upon the Ii.
oense question in Point Pleasant.
We are not advised as to what ao-
ton the Court will take in this inn
portant matter, but We have not
yet been led to believe the Court
will disregard the overwhelming
petitions of the citizens of this
town for license. The Court will
not only be asked to consider the
petitions of the voters of Point
Pleasant but throughout the entire
county as we'll, and the Court will
find that the petitions from the
county outside of the town are also
largely favorable to license. 1t
would seem nothing but just that
the Court look carefully, however.
to what the people of Point Pleas.
ant and vicinity want They know
better than any other section of the
county whether it is proper under
the existing conditions to grant
license. Therefore, we believe the
Court will look more particularly
to the request of those who must
necessarily understand the situa.
ton. This ia the spirit of the law
if not the letter, This is what our
prohibition friends have always
insisted upon-to let the town de-
eide this question. This is the
law in Ohio and We hear of cities
and towns every week, almost, in
that State, voting upon the ques
ton and settling it without regard
to the voters outside of the munic-
ipality
But if the Court takes the other
view of this matter and desires to
consider petitions from every part
of the county We believe our peo-
pie have spoken in no uncertain
tones upon the question, and that
the verdict of a msj rity of our
voters will be for license in Point
Pleasant.
We have endeaVored in the past
to point ont the injury it would he
to Point Pleasant, and in fact to
the entire county, to refuse license,
and We certainly feel that our
county court has respect for the
petitions of our citizens. This is
the way the people have, for time
immemorial, made known Their
wants to the Court, and We believe
the Court will not turn the petit.
tions down. The Court may moi
want license personally, but if the
people want license the individual
view of the Court should give way
to the public demsnd and the
Court would thereby carry out the
will of the people of Mason county
The Court having asked the PEG.
pie to give expression to theil
views will not now disregard the
pronounced and earnest appeal tc
them to be put on an equality witt
every town any size situated as oul
own town ia located.
