DEATH RECORD.
Mrs. Thomas \. Tanner.

Lizzie A. Darland Tanner, daugh.
ter of James A. and II. NJ. OAKLAND,
was born April $, 1870; died Sep,
TENDER o, 1907. She was married
to Thomas n. Tanner, November 4.
1896, at Spring Hill, Iowa. To this
union was born a son, Gerald ID.
Tanner, who with the husband and
father survive her. Besides these
she leaves father, mother, three
brothers and six sisters to mourn
her loss. Her mother was with her
the last weeks of her life.
She was a great sufferer. No one
can word paint that suffering. In
September, 1899, she dislocated her
knee, and six months after this she
was attacked with innammatory
rheumatism, which was later said to
have developed into a spinal affec.
ton. For more than six years she
was confined TO her bed, and during
nearly all this time was helpless,
moving neither hand nor foot with.
out assistance. Nothing that the
tender affection of a true and dc.
voted husband could furnish was
denied her. They sought up and
down the earth for a sanitarium in
which she might oe relieved OF her
malady, spending time and all their
accumulat;ons; but like '1he woman
of Holy Writ, they spent it in vain.
In June, 1900, she with her hus-
band and child came to Reedsville,
at which place she spent her last
hours. When she knew that the
"JorGan crossing was approached"
she called her dear ones, and after
delivering each a charge and com
mendIng her dear boy to God and
the care of loving husband, said,
"l'm sorry to leave you, but meet
me in heaven" She was heard 10
exclaim over and over again and
again. God is love" "God is good.
She "enCured as seeing HIM who is
Invisible" The blessed Lord won
derfully sustained her in her las,
hours and made her lite among us a
blessing.
She was converted and joined the
Christian church while in college in
Oskaloosa, Iowa. With her hus-
band she joined the Methodist Epis-
copal church in1 Reedsville in 1900.
Thus for fourteen years she had
trusted the Christ, who when she
was school girl saved her. The
funeral was conducted by her pas
tor, Rev. a. NJ. Hammond, of Ma.
sontown, Hebrews XII. After which
in the presence of weeping throng
we laid her body to rest in The
Reedsville cemetery. Brother Tan
her and son have the sympathy and
prayers of host OF friends, as have
the parents, brothers and sisters.
God bless tpem all in this hour of
trial. A FRIEND.

4 NEW ToRK DECISION.

There are places where man sus- pected of, or charged with, being a criminal has some rights. One of these places is New York, and though a sus- pected or indicted man doesn't always get all his rights there he sometimes gets some of them, and he is in a way to get one more The decision of Jus |tice Burr in the Supreme court, Brook lyn, that the Police department has no right to photograph and to measure a prisoner against his will before convic- ton will, if upheld make decided change in some of the New York per formances. In the case of William Cow tho indicted Borough bank direc- tor, which was the one before the court, Justice Burr held that the acts of the police were not only lawless but criminal in character and that ev- cry person concerned in the photo graphing and measuring of Cow is lia- ble both to civil suit for damages and to prosecution for assault
 It is to be hoped that this will turn out to be law in New York, It ought to be law there, and elsewhere. Oi course it is convenient for Police de. partments, and sometimes useful, tt have photographs of people who have been suspected of,. or charged with crime. But it is decidedly inconven. tent and also decidedly not useful fol some people to be so treated. On the whole it seems right that Police de. partments should wait for their photo graphs of criminals until it has beer decided that there are criminals.

ONE OF THE oursrloNS.

Now times, new questions. A new question has come up in Pennsylvania. where the State is trying to do some thing for forest reservation and preser- vation. It holds as public reservations over seven hundred thousand acres. lately brought under State ownership for the better protection of the water sources of the State. The general sec retary of the State Forestry Associa- tion recommends the postponement of all taxes on growing trees until the crop is harvested ana declares this to be essential if private land owners arc to be enlisted in the work of refor- estization. A Willfesbarre man writes to one of the Philadelphia papers to say l that he has fifteen hundred acres GOV cred with trees of good size, but not yet mature. They need to stand ten years longer before cutting. Yet the assessors year after year impose tax upon the present value of the wood which can only be marketed once.
 This looks little like one of the in- eqnalities of taxation. Anyhow, an in- teresting and important question ha. ben raised and it's answer may have Interesting and important results.

that President MeIen has discovered a way to crawl out of the policy of expansion, which presumably was well thought out before it was adopted, and to drop back to the simpler life of former generation will scarcely hold water. As the Springfield Re- publican truthfully says: Still re- treat and bona fide sale to the Cam adian Pacific or other corporation would be an extraordinary step in self-condemnation of the judgment which dictated the Boston and Maine purchase" It is when these theories are subjected to the analysis of com mon sense and common official de- cency that practical doubt as to their truth arises.
 We see no reason to change our conclusion reached previously, that the action of President Mellen was decid- ed upon with deliberation in order to bring the situation before the legisla- ture of Massachusetts for final adjudi- cation There is every reason to be- lieve that it will then be possible to thrash the matter out from a new and more practical point of view, which is now forced in fact by the receipt of an offer from a competitive system to buy the New Haven out With all of the facts before it the Massachu- sets legislature can determine what it thinks is best for that section of New England MT Mellen of course believes that that body will decide in favor of his railroad as the one most calculated to enter enthusiasticaily into the in- dustrial life of that commonwealth.

Kansas City will have the sad dissatisfaction of seeing the Democrat ic delegates go through it on their way to Denver and the Republican dele gates go through it on their way to Chicago.

rhe Peril of secularism.

(From the Universalist Leader)
 The social programme of radicalism must be lifted to the level of the thought of Jesus Cold, careless, cor- lroding unhelief must not be allowed to poison the very springs of hope and aspiration. The vision of humanity must be carried beyond the loaf to thoughts of mercy and trust. Tn the midst OF tho world, with his heavy load, with his troubled mind, with love and death forever present together in his | experience, the courage and confidence born of a hope that reaches into the lunseen must be preserved for man. Re- lligion must strip Itself for a long and Undermined struggle with a materialisnl which Is invading the lives of unnum-
 bered millions of workingmen with it's specious plea that the goal of progress 1 is the market place, If life is not to
 fall into ruin and defeat and tears, into its very fabric must be woven the threads of an endless hope.

The late George E. Candee, who pass ed away on the 11th inst, was land scape painter of more than usual abil- ity. Mr candee was born in New Ha- ven nearly seventy years ago and had, for tho most part, resided here. Many of cur older citizens will recall him as having been a contemporary and friend of such well known local artists as the late George II. Durrie Chas. c. Benham, Frank Fellowes and Harry Thompson, also of Truman Bartlett. the sculptor From boyhood George Candee evinced decided natural talent for drawing and painting, which gift was later on developed by association with a colony of professional artists in New York and, again, by two years of study at Paris and Rome.

 And some things that were not. But I recall a modest one,
 Who simply knocked them cold The hired man we used to have
 When l was ten years old. If there were monsters in the deep,
 Or narvels in the air, Or hidden things beneath the ground
 Or wonders anywhere, He had them clearly classified,
 Arranged and on display, And when he cleared his throat an

 That's all there was to say He knew the history of France,
 He knew how snakes were tanned; He knew the way they made blow,
 How sleeping cars were named: He knew q man who knew man
 Who slept with Henry Clay; He knew the way to break colt And how to make hens lay On politics or mixing paint

FoBMIEG THE COMMON MIND.

Tis education forms the common mind" said the poet, and before and since he said it educators have had more or less poetical ideas about how the common mind should be formed. Lately some of those ideas have been so poetical, not to say fantastic, that people who are not educators have wondered, and even some educators have had moments of hesitation and thoughtfulness. The Pennsylvania Superintendent of Education has been thinking about his work, and he has cometo the conclusion that the essential thing after ali is said and done Sis to send out into the world boys and girls who can read, write, add up a column of figures, enjoy good book, pen a re- spectable letter to friend, speak the English language correctly, understand something about geography and have some fundamental ideas about the his- tory of our national institutions.
 This, we believe, will strike some thoughtful people as u pretty good statement of what ought to be done in forming the common mind It will also strike them as being that which is not done to any great extent. It does seem that our magnificent school systems ought to be able to show that much for what they cost.
