LOVED TOO MANY WOMEN.
N. j., Minister-Many Things
Brought to Light After Death.

Woodbury. n. J-This town was.
greatly shocked on Friday over
the sensational suicide of the Rev.
George w. Tomson, pastor of the
Woodbury. Presbyterian church, and
the subsequent developments which
involved the names of at least three
women of this place. Tomson was
found dead in the Newton hotel with.
a bullet In his brain.
The sensation caused by his sui
eide was as nothing compared with
the conditions that were developed
when the clergyman's friends
searched for motive for his act.
About a week ago public announce
ment was made of Tomson's engage
ment to wed Mrs. Fannie Kenworthy,
a wealthy widow of this place and
member of his church Most people
who knew them were greatly pleased
and there was every prospect of
happy marriage. When the tragedy
came it was learned that the preacher
had been paying attention to another
woman, who had been living at the
same hotel where Tomson resided
since the death of his wife.
The young woman is alleged to
have declared in q meeting of Sun
day school teachers that Tomson had
promised to marry her and she fur
ther declared that he would never
marry Mrs. Kenworthy.
A widow also claims that the min
lister was attentive to her.

To Bar "Red" Literature.

President Roosevelt has tersely de
fined the-infamy of anarchistic litera
ture when he says that if the law de
mands that such literature must be
carried, then the law makes the post
master general an accessory to mur
der in so far as the circulation of mur
derous literature directly leads to as
sassination.
1t is intolerable that anarchists
whose doctrine is lawlessness of the
most violent kind, should be permitted
to use the government service to
spread their propaganda and with the
knowledge and consent of the govern.
ment. The president is to be com.
mended in the highest terms for ask
ing an immediate investigation by the
department of justice of the law in re.
lation to such literature If there is
not already authority for the suppress
sion of inflammatory papers, that fact
should be determined at once so that
congress may enact special law or
amendment in this session.

Someone in Cleveland Thought to be
Entitled to Wealth Left by
a Californian.

Cleveland, O.-Someone in Cleve-
land is wanted to inherit $780,
900 left by Ed McGirk, who has died
In Los Angeles, Cal. He is believed
to have had relatives here.
McGirk impressed his acquaintances
in California with having left behind
in the east past he wished to keep
shrouded in mystery.
In 20 years he accumulated his for
tune. He had no family and no kin,
so far as is known, west of the Mis-
sissippi river.
In conversation with his closest
friend during his life in California,

BIRTHPLACE OF GREAT PARTY.
Good Reasons for Preservation of
House at Ripon, Wis.

The preservation by the peopla OF
house where the Republican party
was born in proceeding to be COM
mended. Such memorials OF men
whose services to the country that
party made possible are being care
fully preserved and protected, and are
regarded as sacred relics. The cabin
where Lincoln was born is likely to be
almost as great an object Of interest
in the future as is the home Of Wash
ington. The house where Grant lived
in his obscurity has special impor-
tance to patriotic Americans because
he lived there. Then why not regard
as a precious possession the house
under whose roof the party which
gave opportunity to these men had its
origin?
In February, 1854, number of citi-
zens-Whigs, Democrats and Free
Soilers-gathered in this schoolhouse
at Ripon and took the first steps
toward the formation of new party
Three weeks later local organiza-
tion was effected and the name Re
publican was chosen. From that
beginning the great Republican party
grew-its foundation being the one
oyerpowerinS impulse of opposition to
Because of the long list of states
men and heroes who came to the front
under its administration it should be
Commemorated - Lincoln, Stanton,
Sumner, Wade, Chase, Morton, Grant,
Sherman, Thomas and, later. Blaine,
Harrison, Hay, Mckinley, Roosevelt: ::
because of these and a host hardly
less distinctive, the party deserves
tribute. Under it the country has
reached a development and prosperity
never dreamed before it came into ex-
istence, that never could have been
reached but for what it accomplished
Its place of beginning is truly a place
to be set apart and honored. What
ever its faults may have been, how.
ever it may have failed or NAV vet
fail, its services are too great to be
forgotten.

Shut In.

A maiden aunt who had lost her
money was provided with home in
well-to-do family. At once she identi-
fed herself with it's interests, and be-
ing housekeeper born, was able to
serve them in many ways. AS occa"
sion arose, she played the parts OF
cook, maid, nurse, seamstress, laun-
dress, gardener, social secretary and
night watchman. So faithful was she
to such duties that she never left
town, when others took vacations, and
for weeks at time did not stir be-
yond the gate. The family gave her
home" as they and she said. Actu-
ally she earned her living three times
over. In return for board, lodging
and clothing, she accomplished tasks
and bore responsibilities that few do
mestics would have been willing to
undertake at any price. Unlike the
domestics, she had no Thursday and
Sunday afternoons, and her social life
was limited to the everyday associa-
relatives. The "shut-ins" who are
confined by illness have a society
through which they are ministered to
by many gracious influences, says the
Youths Companion. The shut-ins who
are too poor to maintain homes, and
whose kinsfolk are too proud to let
them seek the shelter of an institu-
tion, are unorganized and attract no
notice; but in many cases they are
equally deserving of sympathy. True,
there is seldom intentional unkindness

we plume ourselves unduly, it is well

count, and see how much money is

1t has been discovered by a maga-
zine writer that an ambitious child
may secure university education and
board at Valparaiso, Ind, for about %
cents a day. The northern Indiana
university has placed education on the
bargain counter. The poor boy can go
there and learn from the same books
used in the institutions where 23 cents
day wouldn't be a start on spending
money. OF course, says the Chicago
Daily News, it should be understood
by the ambitious that only plain table
board and unadorned knowledge go
for that sum. No young man need ex-
pect to be able to break a rib as q
baseball hero for any amount like that
and neither can a young woman bios,
som out as society queen with a few
studies as incidentals. AS there is
nothing doing but education it will
never be popular with the frivolous
rich.

New York City-Dun's Review
says that the business situation shows
no material change; improvement in
some directions being offset By more
curtailment in other departments, al
though the easier money market is
having beneficial effect on collec-
tions. Boston reports that while there
there is no falling off in commercial
activity, little distinct gain is noted,

cilitated retail trade. Woolen mills
make better reports, but there is no
improvement in cottons or footwear.
Much labor and machinery continue
idle in the textile industry at Phila-
delphia, iron and steel buying is along
narrow lines, but coal is active, build
ing operations increase, and pay

is quiet and buying is along conserva-

that spring trade is slow and jobberg
are more strict than formerly in

President Finley Tells of ReriUing

Washington Oct 29-President Finley of The
Southern Railway. who has just returned 10 Wash

provement IN business conditions and OF general
disposition on the part OF business men throughout

Prices for pig iron are hrmer. Southern fur
naces, rule, have sold their product up 10 the

qurles for iron warrants the expectation that or

coming year Lumber is more active than Tor
grades shipped IN box cars. The present demand
VIII be augmented by increased requirements from
railways, principally for repairs. as some OF
the railways are contracting with car companies
for some OF their heavier repair work
one Of the most encouraging signs OF reVlvlng
industrial activity IS the increasing movement or
steam coal industrial centres The cotton crop
is early, and the fibre is moving TO market IN larger
volume than at this time last year, although as a
result Of the stagnetion which has prevailed IN the
cotton goods market, prices are lower than a year
ago. The demand for cottonseed products Is good
and they moving freely.
Merchandise stocks. which had been permitted
to low during the business depression, are be
ing replenshed conServat1vely. Retail trade n IIle
cities. is good but a result OF the low price OF

still somewhat restricted.
While some lines of business have not Yet SHOWN
as much Improvement might be wished. l De
lieve that conditions generally are decidedly petJr
than at any time since the beginning OF cle ousl-
ness depression. Z year ago and that we have
reason look forward 20 g gradual return 10 a
higher level Of prosperity
