OTHERS PRAISE PLATT
Representative FaSSett Pays Glowng Tribute to Former
Colleague as Do CulLom and Burrows

from 1855 down to and including Gov.
Hughes. He gave Mr.. Plat credit for
being the father of Greater New York.
Praise His Loyalty.
Most of the New York Republicans who
were interviewed had word of praise
for Mr.. Platt's loyalty to his friends in
politics and for his ability as a leader.
/ There are not many men in the United
States Senate who were contemporaries
| OF Senator Plat when he was in his
! ascendeney as a political leader of the
nation. Among them are such men as
Senators Cullom, of Illinois; Hale, Of
Maine; Lodge, of Massachusetts: Elkins,
Of West Virginia; Aldrich. of Rhode ISL
and. and Burrows. of Michigan.
| Senator Aldrich is out of town. OF the
Senators who expressed themselves on
hearing the news of Mr.. Platt's death,
Senator's Cullom and Burrows spoke feel
| ingly of their former colleague, and paid
high compliments to his power as factor
| in national politics in the period from 1883
up to and including the national conven-
ton Of 1900.
| Senator Platts last years of service in
the Senate We're not such as to leave an
/ impression either on contemporaneous
| legislation or upon the minds of the men
who served with him. He was so en-
| feebled in body that he was incapable
| of taking a very active part in legisla-
| ton Under the rule of seniority. he was
a member of a number of important COM
mittees, hut took little active part In
/ their deliberations
He seldom figured IN the proceedings of
! the Senate. except occasionally TO rise.

verbal report from the Committee on
Printing, of which he was chairman.

| the close OF the session, or whenever he
got ready to leave, one or his clerks or
a Senate employe,. assisted Mr. Platt back
to the committee room.

tel. up to the time OF his last marriage.

The news of the death of Senator Plat
did not arouse the interest in Washing
ton that it would have done ten years ago
or earlier.
His name, once a power in politics, has
long been but a memory. Senator Depew
expressed the general feeling in regard
to the late Republican leader when he
observed. on hearing the news of Mr..
Platt's death. that many people made
the mistake of estimating Senator Plat
by his last four years. 1t was about that
long ago that he suffered a stroke, and 1t
was unfair to Judge him by anything that
has happened in the period since then.
Senator Depew paid a high tribute TO
his former colleague. He declared that
his leadership of the Republican party Of
New York had been a series of unbroken
successes, and that no man ever had so
firm a grip on a party organization as
did MIR. Plat. due. Senator Depew
thought. TO Mr.. Platt's loyalty to his po-
litical friends.
Close 10 Plat.
In the many tributes paid TO him by
political friends who learned of Mr.
Piatt's death. perhaps the most inter
esting was that from Representative J.
Sloat Fassett Mr. Fassett was dining
with several New York Republican lead
ers at the home of Representative Par
sons. All OF the guests declared that Mir.
Fassett was closer TO the late Senator
Plat than any other man in New York
Mr.. Fassett declared that he believed
he had Mr.. Platt's confidence to a greater
degree. perhaps. than any other New
York Republican.
He was the most absolute power in
politics that 1 have ever known said
Mr.. Fassett. NO leader in any State in
the Union ever had such power. He
knew men in politics and what they
stood for and the true measure of their
value in a political convention. num-
Der of men have been given the credit
for committing the Republican party to
the single gold standard in the platform
of the St. Louis convention in 1896. but
I believe that men who were really on
the inside and possessed knowledge of
what took place at that convention viii
accord to the late Senator Plat greater
credit for bringing about that result than
any other one individual"
The other Republicans present confirmed
this statement. Representative Fassett
declared that Mr.. Plat had dictated the
nomination of every Republican governor

which they dream over and over

frequent. according to the authority
referred TO. are Inherited. The doctor
observed. for instance. that child OF
six years after an attack of typhoid
fever saw in it's slumber Il figure clad
in black. which advanced to the foot
of the bed and fixed upon him it'
shining eyes. It was found that the
father of the child had frequently
dreamed that dream. although he had
never mentioned it TO his child. The

although he had told no one about it.

Wanted His Money Back.

1t is an old saying that you cannot
eat your cake and have it too" But
a seasick person usually cares little for
either side of the proposition. The
captain of one of the steamships ply
ing between this country ard Italy,
which arrived at New York With over
600 immigrants, tells Il rather aAnus-
ing story of a heated Interview held
between himself and one of them on
the voyage across.
The vessel had been out few days
and had encountered some heayy ' seas
The first morning that calmer weather
prevailed one OF the steerage passen-
gers appeared for the first time above
deck and with face rs white as
sheet approached the captain.
This has got to stop" he said an
grily.
What has?" asked the captain, in
surprise.
This feeling of death. When |
bought my ticket ! was told it in
cluded meals, but | can't keep my food
down. Now, it has got to stop, cap
tain, or else want my passage money
back. You cannot break your contract

1t took all the captains ingenuity to
pacify him during the rest of the trip.

A Handsome Woman

Every woman may not be hand
some, but every woman should
keep with care the good points
nature has given her. No woman
need have sallow skin, dull eye,
blotchy complexion, who pays
proper attention to her health.
Where constipation, liverderange-
ments, blood impurities and other
irregularities exist, good complex
ion, bright eyes and sprightly
movements cannot exist. Internal
arrangements reveal themselves sooner
or later on the surface. Headache, darI:
rings around the eyes, sallow skin, con-
slant tired feeling---mean that the liver
and digestive organs are needing help and
correction. Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets give this necessary help.
They work in natures own way. They do not
merely flush the bowels but tone up the liver and
stomach to fulfill their proper functions. So mild
and gentle do they act that one hardly realizes
that they have taken medicine. Chamberlains
Tablets can be relied upon to relieve biliousness,
indigestion, constipation and dizziness. Sold ev-

EngIands Old Common Field System

EngIands Old Common Field System.
\ common field" is quite distinct
from a common" 1t is q field be-
longing to numerous owners. The land
consists Of long narrow strips, perhaps
not more than ten yards wide and run
ming parallel with one another. What
are the exact rules of cultivation that
obtain in Kent today we do not know,
but Of old it was usual to have regu-
lar rotation, such as wheat one year,
barley or oats the second and fallow
the third. When the crops were har-
vested, each member Of the community
getting his or her share, all could put
in their cattle, which roamed over the
whole field, feeding on the stubble,
etc. And this was termed the right
of sack" The common field system
was gradually done away with by
statutes in the rcigns Of George III.
and William IV.-London Express.
