The Late Mrs. Parkman.

A wave of sorrow passed over the
neighborhood on Sewall street, the
other morning, when it was known
that the brave struggle for life had
ended, and the pure spirit OF MITE.
Elmer Z. Parkman had taken 10
fight to the better world, where scr-
row is changed 70 JOY, and PAIN anu
sickness are unknown. But behlnd
her. besides the hosts of friends Sne
had made in her career OF 10 years.
there stretched IS years OF as HAPPY
married life as had ever blessed d
sweet and Joyous home. Not seinshiy
held was the bond of union pctWeeil
husband and wife, but 1t radlated IN
tn the hearts of others, making their
united lives shining pathway OF nap
pineSS.
Mrs Parkman's ardent devotion to
her aged mother was something touch
in. Not q day passed but she called
upon her at her home on Green street.
Indeed, the entire household leaned
upon her; and while not neglecting
her own home, she was the ministcring
angel within the walls of the old home
stead.
AS a consccrated member of the Uni
yersaiist church, as a true and faith
full wife, as interested in all the I'M
selfish plans and purposes in which
she became active, and as friend
and neighbor, she developed the best
phases of womankind, and was ia
vorite with everybody.
The funeral services, of which Hon.
Charles S. Hichborn had charge, were
held yesterday forenoon, at the home
on Sewall street. and the house was
filed with relatives, neighbors and
friends, some coming from a distance,
the abundance of beautiful flowers be-
speaking the affection in which the de-
ceased was held. The officiating
clergyman was Rev. II. S. Whitman,
d. d., OF Westbrook. This seemed cs-
pccially appropriate, because when
Mrs. Psrl<man united with the Uni
versaliSt church here, and when She
was married, Mr.. Whitman was pas
tor, and Ofiiciated on both occasions.
He spoke tender words of comfort and
hope to the afflicted, and paid a just
but glowing tribute to the memory of
her who has passed on. The bearers
were f. S. Hall, Charles r. Whittcn,
l.. Il. Williams, and J. Il. Brown. The
intermcnt was at beautiful Mt. Pleas
ant cemetery.

TO the conclusion of the reciproCity

from the United States an increase of
about 125 per cent In the same

TICKER FOR CONGRESS.
Tapes In All Committee Rooms to Re-

Tapes In All Committee Rooms to Re-
port Events on Floor.
The ticker for congress is the latest
wrinkle devised to tighten the burden
Of the heavily laden congressman. In
struments quoting the market of the
New York Stock Exchange will be
placed in the cOmpittee rooms when
the new Office buildings are completed,
says Washington special to the New
York World.
The distance between the office build
ings and the capitol is several hundred
feet, and the ticker will save the con-
gresham walking this distance many
times a day. The idea is to employ a
trained newspaper man to watch the
proceedings on the floor of the house
and senate and send the reports out on
the ticker. The house office building
will be ready for use during the next
congress.
That some ambitious congressman
might accidentally have his tape ma.
chine connected with the Wall street
tickers is a suggestion Of wickedneSs in
q national legislator that is purely con-
jectural.

Like everything else, the cost of

expensive. Help was cheap, paper
stock was low, and less reading mat
ter was required. Today printers get
60 per cent more in wages than they
got II years ago The price of paper
stock has risen fully third and is
still rising.
The introduction of the linotype
into newspaper Offices was felt to DE
the downfall of cOmpositors, but time
has shown that there are more men
and women at work today on news
papers than ever before, says the
Lowell, Mass, Telegram. The reason
Is that newspapers give more reading
and larger and better paper in every
way than was the case in former
years.
There is nothing on the market

BIG WOLF HUNT.
Arkansas and Indian Territory Hounds
to Contest This Fall.

TO contest MS an.
What promises to be the last great
wolf hunt in the Indian Territory will
be held at Collinsville, l. T., the last
week in October or the first days of
November, says the Kansas City Star.
The hunt will he for championship
honors between Arkansas and Indian
Territory hounds and will be the best
two out of three chases, with twenty
five dogs ON each side. The details are
now being arranged between Robert
Galbreath, the millionaire Glenn pool
oil operator, representing Indian Ter
ritory sportsmen, and Coin" Harvey
of Monte Ne, representing Arkansas
dog owners.
When asked how the contest would
be arranged and what prizes would be
offered Mr.. Galbreath replied:
Our hounds are, in my judgment,
superior to the foXhOundS of Arkau-
saS when ii comes to running and
/ fighting wolves. Furthermore. our
dogs are accustomed to prairie chasing.
while those of Arkansas run i'll the
hills and rocks and will probably be
unable to cope with our fleet footed
racers.
The only prize offered is a silver
cup by DR.. w. E. Smith of the Collins
vile Commercial club, valued at 500
| This cup will be sufficient inIuc2mcnt.
as 1t will represent championship hon
ors and will be holly contested for.
There will probably be fifty good dogs
on either side, but only twenty-five
will participate in any one race. The
judge will be selected on the day we
meet, which has not yet been definitely
: agreed upon, but will likely be Oct 2S.
I'VE will chase across several large
| pastures around CollinSville, which will
| furnish great sport not only to dog
! fanciers, but visitors as well. l pre-
sumo this will be the last wolf hunt To
I be held in what is now the Indian
country, but in western Oklahoma and
/ Texas We hope to have other big
! hunts. Farmers are fast settling up
I the big pastures, and the large black
wolves are leaving the country"
