George A. Marshall


died at his home in Darlington, on July
5. The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. A. NJ. Sherman, rector of
the Kemper church, and by the mem
bers of the Masonic lodge of which Mr..
Marshall has long been member
November 20, 1862, Mr.. Marshall was
united in marriage to Miss Miriam H 4.
Cutler of st. Adams, Vermont. There
were born to them daughter, Miss
Mary Florence Marshall and son,
Francis Cutler Marshall, now Major in
the regular army.
A well written review of Mr.. Mar
shall's life and character was published
in the Darlington newspapers of last
week, from which we take the follow
ing.
Mr.. Marshall was an extremely
modest man. He did not make great
noise in the world He did not believe
in noise. Surely no one ever heard him
boast of his attainments. 1t can truly
be said of Mr.. Marshall that he was a
profound scholar. He explored all the
fields of literature, ancient and modern
He was master of nine languages, in,
GLIDING the Hebrew, Sanskrit, Greek
and Latin. He could read in the origi-
nal all these nine languages.
If our friend had one characteristic
or quality, which above all others we
should like to hold forth, especially to
the young, it was his conscientious.
painstaking thoroughness. He never
sighted his work nor half did any
thing. Let us remember Mr. Marshall
and be inspired and guided by his ex-
ample. IF man die shall he live
AGAIN." The question of the ages. Our
friend had no doubt as to the answer.
AS he believed, so let us believe-there
is no death.

OBJECTS ON THE MOON.
The Size They Must Be to Show In
Our Different Telescopes.
Mineral Point. Wis.

The Able MOreux, director Of the
astronomical observatory of Bourges
France, answers in Cosmos the ques-
ton, What is the smallest object visi-
BILE on the moonT'
First, 1t Is necessary to know what
Is the smallest angular magnitude that
the naked eye can perceive. Expert
ment says the able. proves this to be
thirty seconds. In other words, an
object that subtends an arc Of thirty
seconds is first visible to the naked
eye. Therefore an object having an
angular diameter of one second can be
seen when 1t Is magnifed thirty times.
An arc Of one second represents about
5000 square feet at the center Of the
lunar disc. Hence, telescope that
magnifies thirty times will make WIS.,
ible a spot G,O00 feet In diameter on
the surface of the moon.
A more powerful telescope will reveal
smaller objects. One with four inches
aperture and power of 800 will show
objects of GOO feet diameter. One
with power OF 1000 diameters will
reveal details measuring about ninety
feet
This. however, is theory. 1t takes a
trained and practiced eye to see fine
details through telescope. The agita-
ton of the earth's atmosphere by
winds and currents interferes terribly
with the use of very high powers in
telescopes. An enlargement of 400 d.
ameters almost exceeds the practical
limit 1t can be used only on perfectly
clear. still nights when the moon Is
high above the horizon. This will re-
veal objects 400 feet In diameter, but
will not show any form or detail

PASS THE ANTI TRUST LAWS

Those interests which object to the complete establishment of jus
rice and equal opportunity in commerce. are like the BOurbOns of old
densely dull when it comes to learning anything new. Otherwise TIL
would have known, by their experiences in unsuccessfuly fighting the
tariff bill and the currency law, the hopeessness of any effort to bull
doze President Wilson into the abandonment of any part of his legis-
1ative program. The attempt to Great a n artificial uprising against
antitrust legislation by circulating form letters o be signed and mailed

tured "sentiment' an have weight with thinking persons.
President Wilson has indicated very positively that so far as mis-
influence is potent-and NJ n will question its weight the anti
trust legislation will be put through at this session Of ongress. The
at large will applaud this determination. The antitrust bills
arc the capitalization of public demand, long unheeded by Repubical
administrations and congresses. Such legislation is inevitable, and, so
far as legitimate business is concerned, it will be less disturbed by the
immediate enactmentO of the needed laws than by the continuance of a
state Of uncertainty pending their passage.

AMERICAN GIRLS ARE GODDEssEs

Francis Toye, an Engishman. writing in the Bystander under the
caption OF Truth About the American Woman' says:
Still an bound o say that even the average American woman
OF the upper class seems to be distinctly prettier than any Of her Euro
pean sisters. 80
But about the average American woman Of the middle classes there
/, am sure, be n doubt at all.
"She is incomparably the smarest, most elegant and beautiful thing
that exists under HEAVIER.
"You talk about the pretty faces Of English girls, the distinction Of
Partisan mdinettes, the dash of Savonic women-why, the American
girl combines all these qualities and improves on them, too.
"If she has not always a good complexion she at least knows how
to make the best possible imitation. Her clothes are SO smart that
you wonder how n earth she al afford to buy them till you remember
that New York Gd America generality is famous for the excellence
OF its ready made costumes. Her blouse is always spotlessy clean. her
hair effectively dressed. And the figures OF American women are &C
knowledgcd to be the finest in the world.
"n short, ii you are a young nan of susceptible tendencies you had
better give New York the go-by or insure heavily against marimony.
Mr. Toye emphasizes the point that he is not speaking OF the Amer

WHERE TO LOOK FOR TROUBLE

Representative Mann, Republican leader Of the house, thinks he
wants to fight the canal tolls issue all W. again at the polls, but he
will reconsider and repent Although there are som parts of the Unit

When the Republican party was Iiannaized in 1896, some OF its
leaders thought it would stand for everything in the line Of monopoly,
privilege and bounties, but it would not. 1t drew the line at snip sub
sides, largely through the votes of western congressman. The fact
that the subsidy idea appears this time in the guise OF treatybreaking
