Fireman.

New York, Dec. l2.--For the first time
in the history Of the New York fire de-
partment fireman has been retired on
full pay. Captain James j. Mccormick,
characterized by Commissioner Waldo
as the bravest fireman that ever donned
helmet, returned to civil~life yester-
day after spending thirty-nine years in
the service, and until he dies he will
draw $4,000 a year, the full pay Of a
captain.
1t is for an act of heroism performed
in 1888 when the Pratt oil works in
Brooklyn were destroyed by fire, that
Captain Mccormick receives this unusual

Current Comment
Control Of Deadly weapons.

Every affair like the shocking tragedy
al the district attorneys office this
morning is sure to make the public
consider more seriously the relations of
authority to the carrying OF deadly
weapons The present law for regulst-
ing the sale of pistols is nearl yfareical;
perhaps any statute that could be de-
yised would be ineffective. Still the
possibility Of an accounting for each
weapon of this kind through a system
Of current license often suggests itself
at times like these as one Of the rem
edies. The community might eonceiv-
ably insist on knowing the location Of
all the deadly weapons within its bound
aries by continuous licensing, with the
question of renewal always subject to
annual or still more frequent challenge.
Manufacturers and dealers could be al
lowed to sell their weapons only so far
as these could be traced to authorized
customers A similar system might be
applied to such explosives as were used
in wrecking the Office of the Los An
geles Times few weeks ago. States
would have to act in concert in such
a move and the international boundary
would call for espionage
This would he very radical as
sertion Of public authority, and one
which it is TO be hoped need never be
made. But if such crimes as That com.
mitted this morning are to increase in
frequency, the community will have TO
consider very seriously how they may
be checked. Murder takes on peculiar
heinous aspect when the victim is an
officer of the law, sacrificed while doing
mis- duty. Mr.. Pelletier was probably in
greater peril than he realized, much as
was Gov Guild at the time Of the State
House shooting a few years ago The

Springfield Man Has Not Used Razor
Since the Civil War Begun.
Springfield. Mass, Dec. l2,-Samuel
Worcester Swift of is Princeton street
made vow over 40 years ago not to
touch razor to his face and has kept
his pledge,
Swift was a railroad man in the South
at the outbreak of the Civil war He
was a Union man, and when hostilities
began he vowed he would not lay hands
again on a razor or be shaved by any
one until the war was over. The war
passed and peace settled upon the land,
but in that time Swift had rather got
ten away frem the idea of shaving and
decided not to part with his flowing beard.
Swift has grown to have great pride
in his possession and the way in which
he secured IT,
In late years he has trimmed his
beard, but back in the days when he
was a FIRE chief in Frankfort, Ky, be
sported a set Of whiskers that reached
Ia his waist and mustache, the ends
Of which were long enough to curl back
Of his ears.

MRS. cA1HRANE WADE NEWELL.

Cathrane Wade Newell babe her
last Earthly farewell to the loved
ones who have watched at her bed
side during long illness; and a
soul, purified by Christian faith
and prepared for the rewards of
Eternity by a long life of devotion,
duty, friendship and loving en-
deavor, passed beyond" to the
pure light of the Divine Presence.
To those who were united by the
ties of life and blood and those who
had come within the influence of
her example and friendship, there
is, in this life, a place made vacant
that may not I've filled. There was
no shock as when one dear to us
goes without warning, for it was
known that the Giver of Life had
numbered the days when He would
claim the deathless soul loaned to
earth for a little while. After a
time even the tear stained cheek
will be dried and the heart, bowed
down with grief, will again respond
to the call of the things of this life,
but memory will live, and love and
gratitude will he to her who has
left us, monument more pure than
whitest marble, and the influence
of the devoted wife, the self-sacri-
ficing mother, the wise, the loving,
the unselfsh friend, the Christian
example, will be a living epitaph
more expressive than human hand
can write.
Mrs. Newell was the wife of Ed
ward H. Newell, to whom she was
married on February End. 1870.
Of their union there were five
children, Allison Ross, died in in
fancy, Mrs. John Murdoch, DR.. E.
Dunbar Newell and Messrs. Ross
Wade Newell and Benz. Young
Newell. She was the eldest daugh-
ter of Isaac Ross Wade and Catha-
rane Dunbar and was born at Pros
pect Hill, the old family home, in
Jefferson county, on November ID,
1914. She received her education
in the best schools the country af-
forded at that time.
At the close of the civil war she
was, through the death of her
mother, left the care of younger
sister and two brothers, to whom
and her father, she devoted her life
as long as her care was needed.
The beautiful and impressive
funeral service of the Episcopal
Church was read by Rev. E. Stirl-
ing Gum at the NewelltOn Church,
and on Monday evening her body
was laid to rest in the family lot in
the Natchez cemetery beside the
grave of one of her ancestors, and
not far distant from the spot where,
over 120 years ago her mothers
ancestors, sturdy Scoth pioneers,
first built their home.
