London Feb. 24-With the rescue, al

wrecked steamer Berlin, the story of
this terrible wreck comes TO an end
Seldom has a sea tragedy, even when

so full of poignant anguish. Rescue

DEAD BODY
Of Clergyman Found
Dead Beside Railroad
Track at WaItham.


Boston, Feb. 24-The crew of
freight train on the Boston and AL
'bsny division of the New York Cen
trail found the dismembered body of
the Rev. Everett D. Burr, D. D.,
a. prominent Baptist clergyman, be-
side the eastbound track at Westboro
this forenoon. DR.. Burr, who was 45
years old, resided in Newton Centre,
and dait has not been clearly explained
how he happened to be killed at West
boro nor is it known what became of
his watch and a pocketbook said to
contain considerable sum of money
The general belief among his friends
is that he fell from train and was
cut to pieces. At Newton Centre but
little could be learned tonight con-
cerning DR. Burr's movements yester-
day, but clergyman, who is a per-
sonal friend of the dead man, said
he understood that DR.. Burr received
dispatch from some person in New
York yesterday morning and that he
had started for that city on the train
| leaving Boston at o'clock in the
afternoon. Memoranda in the pockets
showed that DR.. Burr had filled sew
eral engagements in Cleveland, re-
Gently and later preached in New York.

THE DOCTRINE OF DEcENcY.

> Natural and moral phenomena are
sometimes declared to move in cycles
or sequences. For instance, it has
been observed by those who do not
remember the lapses, that three fires,
or thpes accidents, or three tragedies
come in close succession. Waves of
moral and political reform sweep over
the country at more or less regular in
tervals, generally in the winter time,
. when. there are no other crops to be
: planted or harvested. The evangelists
get busy, and there is a general awak-
. ening TO the realization of things. The
= old saying that Honesty is the best
/. policy" is good as far as it goes. The
z. saying lis unfortunate, inasmuch as it
: hinges upon the word policy" Why
not be honest anyway, and let policy
:, ,take-.care of itself? There are plenty
of people who will be honest if there
is anything in it. 1t is not absolutely
necessary to belong to any church, or
F.. to profess any particular religious be-
lief to exercise the virtues of common
decency. All religions have inculcated
such ideas. The golden rule is Older
than Christ There is no person,
whether orthodox or heterodoX-ques
tions of mere latitude or longitude
hut can be decent, and give the other
fellow his proper chance in life.

rather pertinent way to the work
which the next session of the legisla-
ture, to meet next winter, will per-
form. There are a number of things
bound to push themselves to the fore.
Not the least among these is the mat
ter Of primary election reform. This
reduced means the nomination of all
candidates, of all parties, by the di-
rect vote of the people. 1t would not
entirely do away with conventions
but would limit their work solely to
the adoption of party platforms and
demand that delegates to conventions
be elected at primaries. OF course,
under the constitution of the United
States it will be impossible to select
senators by primaries, but there is
nothing which will prevent declara
ton of choice in that way and he
would be bold member of the leg
islature indeed, who would dare to
disregard choice so expressed. In
effect therefore the plan of those adj
vocating this reform will mean the
election of all officials from senator
down to the most humble by the people
direct W hout the Intervention of 9TH
er Influences. There is now in effect
a law giving county and city commit
tees the power to nominate officers
by primaries, if they so desire. 1t is
optional, however The law which it
is hoped to pass will be mandatory.
An organization known as the Ohio
Primary Election Reform League has
been formed to carry on the work
and urge the passage of bill at the
hands of the next general assembly.
Judge Gilbert H. Stewart, a noted at
torney of this city, is president and
Hiram S. Bronson, likewise of Co.
lumbus, member of the legislature
and an earnest advocate of primary
reform, vice president. The cam
paign will be carried energetically on
from now until the legislature meets.
Governor Harris has gone to his
home at Eaton, Preble county, to re-
main until Monday. 1t is the first
vacation he has had since coming into
office and he left Columbus with all
the enthusiasm which marks a school
boy when the long resting spell of sum
mer comes on.

to the immigration station today. He
was prevented from going by the in
