the President was stationed to
escape the storm. The affair was
reported as a cloud burst involv-

that no one was hurt or could
have been. Hundreds of thous-

worse shape every day in the

made in the daily press. The
fact is tha, we are becoming a

SUNDAY NIGHT MUSINGS.
BY [. I. RAMALr.

Henry II. Rogers died last
week OF apoplexy. Mr.. Rogers
was John Rockefeller's right hand
man and died worth 100000. 900.
We note that the papers ex.
press their regret in stereotyped
sentences. in which there is not a
sign of real sorrow. We are i'm
pressed with the idea that il the
same dispatch had mentioned
that John Rockefeller had also
passed in his checks the same
papers would have been unable
to conceal their JOY. And yet
this Mr.. Rogers seems to have
had some good qualities. He
was the true friend OF Mark
Twain. He interested himself in
Helen Keller. the deaf. dumb and
blind girl. and spent money in
large Quantities that the light OF
reason might shine in on her
clouded soul Among mankind
as a rule he was a ravenous brute
seeking whom he might devour.
He destroyed homes and wrecked
fortunes. He caused enough
tears to be shed TO baptize the in
fants he starved. He pu, thorns
in ten thousand pillows. He fnan-
cially ravsged nation and made
paupers OF men who were IN line
to be independent He assisted
Rockefeller to do more harm
than &c alone was capable of. And
now he is dead. Gazing upon the

remember his crimes longer than
his good deeds. We may be able
to prof; to an extent by a con
temptation of Henry II Rogers
We may learn TO avoid resembling
him in most particulars and thus

The papers are pretty well hlled
with the stories of the slaughter

Roosevelt, The writer sort of
cottons to hunting himself and
can not be classed with those who
consider hunting as little less
than criminal, but somcway the
slaughter of dozens of specimens
of game as Roosevelt is doing
seems to be only trifle short of
ruthless. To go and hunt in
Africa, to kill an animal of each
sort, enough for food and for
trophies OF the hunt, to destroy
lions and other dangerous beasts,
does not strike one as inhuman;
but to shoot and destroy herds ot
gazellcs and all sorts of timorous
game, to destroy giraffes by the

and from the amount and character
of work that has been done by your
Company, feel that with the cheap

more satisfactory service.
Inasmuch as the city of Cairo IS
the largest single consumer that you
have. as well as the most constant
consumer. and its people are endeav-
ing to better the condition of the city
in every way. | am encouraged to
present to you a request to reduce the
price of gas, and if possible electric
lights to the city of Cairo. Your In
terests and those of the city are ider-
teal. We are working for the bet
terment Of our condition. both phys1
ically and financially. and the best
results are obtained through the ex-
ercise of fair and broad-gauged un-
derstanding between all parties. Any
consideration you can give 10 the
people of Cairo in the line of better
lights and lower rates for the same,
| am sure will be thoroughly appre-
ciated.
Trusting you will see your way
clear to grant the request herein
made.
