Abounded in Wit.

Francis w. Cushman. who often de-
scribad himself as the ugllest man in
Congress, was one Of the greatest 'hu-
mOrists in the House Of Representatives.
Long. spare, and gaUnt, he made his
speeches in the most solemn manner,
although they were full OF witty thrusts
at the opposition, and the points In his
argument were illustrated by many side
splitting stories.
Cushman had an ambition when he
was quite little boy to go 10 Con-
gress. He said not long ago that this
ambition was as far back as he could
remember and that il had been with
him all through his life until he came 10
Congress. Membership in the House
was all ne wanted, and he was salts
fed to stay there.
He was a member Of the Committee
on Ways and Means, which drafted the
House form Of the pending tariff bill.
His popularity in the House, among
both Republicans and Democrats, was
wide. He was great worker for his
constituents
Native of Iowa.
Francis W Cushman was born May
s, 1867, at Brighton. Washington county.
Iowa, and was educated in the high
school of Brighton and the Pleasant
Plain Academy Of Jener son county.
Iowa. In his childhood he made school
expenses by working in the summer
time as a water boy" for railroad con-
struction gangs. His business was to
carry water from the nearest well or
spr5pg TO the laborers to drink. Later,
after his graduation frOTI the ''acad-
emy,' he worked as a laborer on the
railroad
At the age of sixteen he moved to
what was then the Territory of Wyom-
ing, where he remained I'VE years,
teaching school, working IN a lumber
camp, serving as a cowboy and study
ing law. After that he moved 20 Ne
braska, where he began the practice
OF law.
In 1891 he moved again, going this time
10 Tacoma, Wash. where ne had lived
ever since. He was elected to the Fifty
sixth. Fifty-seventh Fifty-eighth. Fifty
ninth, Sixueth ana Sixty-first Congresses.
Although he never held any Office be-
fore he was elected to Congress, he was
political power IN the state OF Wash
ington from the time he went there.

NEW YORK.

All in all the business situation pre-
sents many favorable features, but
there is still an underlying feeling of
conservatism, and while less is heard
of the influence of tariff changes on flu
ture trade, there is still apparent a dis
position to await the outcome Of pres
ent legislative action and a clearer
view as to possible crop yields. Among
the leading industries the activity in
iron and steel is still a subject of in.

DR.. T. T. HALE IS DEAD;
END COMES SUDDENLY
Famous Preacher and Chaplain of
the Senate Expires at Rox-
bury, Mass.
WAS AN AUTHOR OF NOTE.
Born in 1892 of Revolutionary Stock
and Showed Precocity as Child
Ordained at Age Of 20.

Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale, CHAP
lain of the United States Senate died
at his home in Roxbury, Mass, Thurs
dav. A week previous he was present
at a celebration in honor Of the nine
tieth birthday of Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe, his contemporary in many OF
the reform movements with when
both had been identified for more than
fifty wears. At the bedside were
Mrs. Hale, Philip l.. Hale, a son; Ell
len, a daughter, and the family physl-
clan.
AS an advocate of world peace and a
humanitarian whose activities have
been many and forceful, DR.. Hale, who
was pastor emeritus of the old South
Church of Boston, which pulpit he
filled regularly from 1856 until 1900,
had a career Of usefulness that is
unique in American history.
Born in Boston April 3. 1922, DR..
Hale came of famed New England
stock. His father, Nathan Hale, vas
a nephew of the patriot whose dying
utterance, Il only regret that I have
but one life to lose for my country
is craven deeply in the chronicles of
the nations struggle for liberty. His
mother was a sister of Edward Ever.

1t has been said of DR.. Hale that "he
was Graded in the sheets of a news
paper" for his father was publisher of
the Boston Advertiser, the first daily
to be published in New England. Bdu-
Gated for a life of letters, the 10y
made rapid strides in school, and at
II was graduated from Harvard Uni
versity. AT 20 he was licensed to be-
come a minister. He regarded wal
as a barbarism which settled only
questions of military strength and not
questions of right and wrong, and he
had a large part, as editor of the
Peace Crusade, in bringing about The
Hague tribunal. AS an author, in
which his aim was moral rather than
artistic, DR.. Hale produced several en-
during works.
In defiance of advancing years. DR..
Hale continued in the public eye until
stricken by his last illness. On the
death of DR.. William H. Milburn, the
blind chaplain of the Senate, DR.. Hale
succeeded him, his hoary head and
rugged frame baking an impressive
figure in that chamber.

Big Mill and Elevator of Cereal Com
pany at Decatur, ILL.,, Destroyed.
In a fire which started shortly after
1 a. m. Tuesday from electric wiring
on the sixth floor of the mill Of the De-
catur Cereal Company, the entire
plant was destroyed, with a loss of
$3.50, 600. The insurance is $165, 900.
In addition to $4,000 bushels of corn
in an adjacent elevator, also owned by
the Decatur Cereal Company, were
destroyed. In an effort TO rescue some
of the office effects of the firm, John
Sheehy, a fireman, was struck on the
head by a falling timber and was in
stantly killed. The buildings were
situated at Eldorado and Vandyke
streets, with a frontage of two blocks
on the Wabash railroad. The elevator
had a capacity of 100000 bushels Of
corn. The entire local fire department
responded to the general alarm, but
from a lack of water pressure they
could do nothing to check the progress
of the blaze. The company manufac-
tured starch, but one OF it's main prod
ucts was corn grits, used largely by
brewers. 1t employed a large number
of men and was n Of the biggest
manufactures Of Decatur.

U. S. GAINS IN CANADA TRADE.
Reports Show That British Are
Losing Dominion Business.

ASSAAS
Merchandise from the United States
forms a steadily increasing share OF
the imports of Canada. as shown by
figures from Canadian official publica-
tions just received by the Bureau of
Statistics of the Department of Com
MERGE and Labor in Washington. Fur
thermore, Canada's imports from Great
Britain have declined during their
period of increase from this country.
Whereas imports from the United
States to Canada increased from 34.O3
per cent of the total importations of
Canada in 1869 to 60.4 per cent Of the
fiscal year ending March 81, 1909, the
imports from Great Britain have de-
creased during the same period from
5G.2 per cent to 90 SO per cent. Two
thirds of Canada's imports are manu-
featured, amounting in 1907, the last
year for which statistics are available,
to $1G6, 600, 900. Of this amount $780,
900. 900 worth, SO per cent of the total,
were from the United States, and only
$54 ,OO0, 900, or 33 per cent, from Great
Britain. Merchandise entering Canada
from the United Kingdom and most of
the British colonies is admitted at
rates materially below those of the
general tariff paid by merchandise
from the United States.

At the st. Louis City Hospital there
were performed two surgical operations
of such a delicate and unusual nature
that leading surgeons of the city went
there to see them. One was the inser-
ton of a rubber tube into the tomach
of Mrs. Anna Davis. of Mount Olive,
Ill. She swallowed concentrated I've by
mistake recently. and this will prevent
her swallowing food. Hereafter her life
will be sustained by God forced into her
stomach through the tube. The other
operation was the removal of a small
splinter of steel from the ~arterial system
of George Watkins. 60 years old. The
splinter was carried along by the blood
and was wearing out the walls of his
arteries. The splinter was located by
means of the N-ray and then the artery
at that point was bound above and below
and the tiny bit of metal was removed.
Both patients will recover.
