In Memoriam.

Mr.. Joe Earl Quinn, entered into
rest at Sturgis. Miss, July 20,
1912.
The frost of death falleth alike
upon the fair, young flower and
the scared and aged oak.
1t cometh alike in the peaceful
promise of springtime and in weary,
wintry age. 1t came to his gentle
and generous spirit like the un-
measured music of angels afar. To
his young life fast from the echoing
shores of eternity came the cadence
of everlasting peace.
just when he had reached the
meridian of manly worth he laid
aside life's magic mantle for ser.
aph's sainted robe. The strong
voice SO full of life and love, is
hushed in solemn silence but its
whispered accents are heard in hea-
ven and home. His voice will ne'e
swell our choirs again, b4t in the
angels choir he sings his raptures
of Jesus and His love.
About his life never came the
rust and canker of corroding self
ishness.
Neither swayed by success or sor-
row, buoyed by a heavenly hope
and sustained by christian content
ment, he made of life more than
earth could wish and all that hea-
ven will ask.
% flowers, bloom your sweetest :;
winds, breathe yonr softest; sun,
shine your mildest; birds, swell
your tenderest notes above the spot
where rests his mortal form! o
gates of heaven, open wide; celes-
tial choir, strike your sweetest mel
+ody; angels of light, give welcomed" !"
Gentle Savior, open your arms
of tenderness and place among the
grandest jewels Of the Fathers s
crown the spotless, immortal robe
of our beloved Bunk. y
Faith bids us. not mourn, for
through the promise of Gods gra-
cious benificence he now rejoices in
the many blessings of the home
prepared for him as reward for
the we'll Spent life.
''Tears cannot recall him, nor would |
y bind
My soul to grief; death cannot long d.
vide;
For it is not as if the rose that climbed
Our garden wall has bloomed the other
side?" g.
A FRIEND.

"CHILDREN OF POVERTY"
Tremendous Infant Mortal
ity in Germany Due to
Poverty

Berlin. April 10-Dwelling upon the
tremendous infant mortality in Ger
many, Erich Schlaiker, in reviewing
the new book, 1.-THE Proletarian Child,
by Albert Langen, gives some start
ling figures and paints a gloomy pic
ture of Germany. He says:
'eThe Children Of Poverty hunger be-
fore they are born. They come into
the world ill-deve,oped, weaker than
the children Of plenty and with such
low resistant powers that infant NOR
tally RACES in their ranks like an cpl
demic. The blind, the crippled, are
principally recruited from their ranks
and they are the particular victims of
scrofula and tuberculosis.
Gwen the Ministry Of the Interior
admits that this Is due to lack Of
nourishment and lack of care of the
new born-inevitable results of wo-
mans labors on the farms and indus
trial employment. In the kingdom of
Saxony, where women labor as no
where else in Germany, 1873 per cent.
of the new born die. In all Germany
17.7 per cent. That is the average.
but in Langenbeilau "a per cent. Of the
infants died. The average for Berlin
is 1871 per cent. If anything is nee

''to hear a cheerful voice announce

DR.. Stewart. says the correspondent
of the Cincinnati Times-Star, recog-
nized the voice as that of a rather
well-to-do young man who had made
several previous trips to Bellevue. He
expressed over the telephone his strong
regrets that he should be again both

CRISIS IN GERMANY
Cabinet Disagreement Over
Proposed Increase of
Army and Navy

Berlin, April 10-IndicationS point to
another impending crisis in Germany
over the question Of what new tax
shall be levied for raising the neces-
sary money for the increase in the
size of the army and more rapid build
ing in the navy, which will soon be
laid before the Reichstag. - Best proof
that the Cabinet cannot agree on the
extent to which the German army is
to be increased and the number of new
ships to be built, is the fact that the
ministers have conferred, debated
and argued among themselves for
more than four months now without
being able to agree. What Is even
worse, is the fact that the Cabinet
seems to be still less In harmony on
the subject Of what taxes the Reicn-
stag shall be asked to authorize for the
new army and navy bill. The dis
resignation of Imperial Treasurer Wer-
muth, who retired two weeks ago.
There are said to be two strong fac
tions in the German government at
present. In well Informed circles
is declared that the Foreign Office
Waechter and Chancellor Bethmann-
Hollweg, are for an understanding
and reconciliation with England. The
other faction headed by the Naval and
War MINISTRIES, have taken STAND
for a greater army and greater ma
wy, as Germany's only safeguard and
put little dependence in Ergland's
promises or sincerity. In this they
are supported by powerful influences
at court and a large portion Of the
press, which declare that the Chan
cel,or and the Foreign Secretary are
weak" and that they must CO."
Friends of the Foreign Office. on the
other hand, charge the Navy ana war
offices with interfering with the
"peace plans of the Foreign Score
tary and the Chancellor, and with
irving to influence and even shape
Germany's foreign policy along the
lines of the mailed fist" The fric-
ton became such, 1t is declared, that
the Kaiser recently had to personally

resignation will follow soon after En-

Won Stumm, head of the political de-
partment of the Foreign Office and
Court Bernstorff at Washington, are
mentioned as his successor. Admiral
con Tirpitz, Minister of Marine, and
Field Marshal Baron Won der Galtz
seem, in the public mind, to be in the
running for Chancellor. The appoint

"iron policy for Germany and afford,
a still greater opportunity for the mill

son, it is believed in parliamentary
circles the Kaiser will hesitate about
naming either Of them.

A MODEST MILLIONAIRE.

that and you have $4,000 - and 1O0

driven the death-dealing mosquito

The Town of Norwalk has appealed
to the Public Utilities commission for
an order requiring the Connection:
Company to lay grooved rails-the So
called flat type. like those on the
Main street of Bridgeport-on certain
streets of the town.
The hearing, which recently took
place before the board, developed the
announcement, from Mr.. Punderford,
a representative of the street railway
monopoly, that it doesn't intend to
lay any fat rails in Connecticut, ur-
less 1t is obliged to do so by law. The
position was boldly, and impudently
taken, that traffic not in trolley cars.
must keep to the side of the road, and
on the tracks Of the company. The
type of rail which the company il ev-
erywhere using, except in a few ia
vored places, is a barrier to traffic.

that the Representatives of the Con-
necticut Company feel very much at

It is a good thing to know that, fol-
lowing a presentation of the claims Of
Norwalk by Hon. J..J. Walsh, the COM
pany descended from it's naughty po-
sition long enough to ask for more
time to present it's case. which had
been offered almost without evidence
and in the general form Of an implied
corporate mandate to the commission
ers.
The people of Connecticut may ex-
pect to see the rails Of the Connecti-
cut company used more largely for a
freight service than at present, and
this is probably part Of the motive
behind the monopoly's purpose to
keep other traffic off the part Of the
road on which its rails are laid.
