seen that the end was only question
of hours, for, though his pulse remain
ed strong almost until the last, he
could take no nourishrent, and it was
only when this state of affairs became
known to his brother that he gave up
hope, for in spite of the reports to the
contrary H. w. Kittredge believed that
his distinguished brother would regain
consciousness and ultimately recover.
Only his nurse was with him when he
passed away, for his vitality had been
SC remarkably strong that neither his
brother or sister, who had been in the
room an hour previous, believed that
death would come so soon The nurse
stated that he seemed to take just one
long breath and it was all over. Both
brother and sister were in the hotel
and were hurriedly summoned to the
deathbed, but arrived too late.
The remains were taken to his old
home at Keene, N. H., for interment.
While a member of he United
States senate Mr.. Kittridge was on
many important committees and for his
state accomplished many things. His
most notable achievement was that of
writing the report on the title to the
property in the Panama canal zone
which the best attorneys in the country
could not find a flaw in, and which
has been read and reread by the dip
lomats of the world. Not a single
word of that report has ever been

Alfred B. Kittredge was distinctly
a self-made man. He was born March
%, 1861, in Cheshire county, N. H.
His early education was obtained in
the public school and by private tutor.
When IL years of age he entered Yale
university, graduating from that fam
GUS institution in 1882. He then COM
menced the study of law in the office
OF Judge Veasey at Rutland, VT, af-
forwards studying In the law office of
Bachelor & Faulkner, of the same
place.
The study of law was continued un-
TIL 1884, when he entered the Yale law
school, from which he graduated in
the spring of 1885. In June OF the same
year he was admitted to the bar by
the supreme court of Connecticut.
After reaching his goal he decided to

CAPITAL CHAT
Want Many Loans.

want Mdny Loans.
While the recent sale of state school
lands has brought about 100000 to
the permanent school fund which is
available for loaning, this sum will not
by any means fill the applications
which are or file il the department for
loans from that fund. Just at present
the applications are near 100000, and
for number of years the applications
have always been far in excess of the
fund. Before the rate of interest was
reduced, which also included the time
before the business expansion in the
state for the past ten years, the fund
grew to such proportions that the
state department, under the authority
granted it by law, forced the money
out each year upon the counties, to get
some return upon the cash on hand,
and just as soon as the counties upon
which it was forced could legally get
it back into the state treasury, they
hurried it back and stopped the inter-
est charge which was made against the
county while the money laid in the
different county treasures. But now
instead of forcing out the money the
question is to apportion the fund on
hand equitably between the counties
which are calling for it instead of
lodging it.

$4,000 IN ONE. YEAR,
THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
~ SURPRISES ALL RECORD.

The returns recently issued by the
Canadian immigration Branch shows
that upwards of $4,000 persons ar
rived in Canada during the past
twelve months, declaring their inten-
ton OF becoming settlers in that coun-
try. OF this number about 100000
were from the United States, the bal
ance being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. 1t will thus be seen
that the sturdy farming element that
has gone forward from the United
States is being splendldly supplement-
ed by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure Of
Canadian wheat, oats, barley and flax
grown on the rich prairie of Western
Canada is constantly attracting more
and more, and year by year the tide
of immigrants to the Western Canada
plains Increases; there is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are not surprised at the number from
the United States being as large as 1t
Is but they did not look for so large an
immigration from the old countries.

pared. Reception halls are In readi-

Pierre.-The automobile bill of the
people of this state does not show any
indication of reduction on account
of the talk of quiet business. The re-
cord for new machines in April is 527

month. This puts the total number OF
