life much prior to the men who are now
in active life in this community and his
death removes an important tie between
this and former generation He has
filled An unusual number of places of
responsibility and. trust with signal
ability and his falthfulness and integrity
were never questioned. Something of
trust reposed in him may be gained
from the fact that in connection with

four hundred thousand dollars he was
not required to file a bond or return an
account to the Probate Court, an uu-
usual mark of confidence and esteem.

funeral services. Vice President Fair
banks, who had often been a house

reach here in time to attend the funer-

There is a bit of sentiment of a
touching nature connected with the
statement that President Mckinley

his private secre tary. to be especially
solicitous of the welfare of Mrs Nc
kinley in event of the death of the
President before his wife. This hap

Mr.. Cortelyou was shown in the fact
that he was one Of the men chosen TO
administer the Mckinley estate which
was inventoried at S215, 900 when the
Mckinley will was probated.
Mr.. Cortelyou has faithfully kept
any such promise and looked after the

The Action.-Notes.

The game this afternoon with the
called off this morning by Manager
Jessup and Manager Grant of the
South Bend team, on account of the
poor condition of the diamond and the
cold weather. So far as known this is
the first game ever called off in this

cold weather. The South Bend outfit
left at 1880 this afternoon for Grand
Rapids, where they are scheduled to
play Tuesdy. Manager Grant stated
that he expects to find ice burgs in the
Furniture City.
One of the best crowds of the sea-
son turned out Sunday to see the game.
There were over 1000 people on the
lot and the two bleachers were crowd
ed to capacity When the gentle rain
drops began to trickle, the fans all
scooted for cover, several running in
to the outfield. This was a pretext
for the Shamrocks to delay the game.
Ray DeVinney. the we'll known color
ed rooter, was at the game with his
full set of rabbits feet, but they did no
good. In the eighth, when Mensler
and Jessup were On bases and Horn
was at the bat, DeVinnsy begged pit
fully Of Horn to make a hit. On
Bonded knees and with hands folded.
DeVinney, in a tear choked voice
cried: Please. Mr.. Horn. If you ever
