A TRIBUTE.
To The Late Charles ElWOod 0ffutt,
of Oakland.

1t IS seldom that our community is
called to suffer so great a loss as it has
in the death of Mr. C. Elwood Offutt.
A feeling of sadness prevailed
throug bout the town and beyond it. too,
when the news was spread from lip TO
lip that he had gone.
The general suspension of business
during the afternoon of his funeral
services betokened the respect in
which he was held in the community.
He was recognized as one of our hes
business men-a leader among them
His genial disposition, the ease with
which he met all. his unassuring man.
ners, his hearty, whole souled cordially
and his ability to look always on the
bright side of things made him very
popular.
The sympathy of all went out, to him
and his family in his long illness. His
hopefulness was manifest unto the end.
All that human skill could 10, was done
for him, but to no avail Tender in
terest, hearty sympathy and devotion
could not retain him. He heard the
call and passed over. Even thel heroic
act of those who gladly shared their
life's blood in the hope of helping him,
was of no avail Yet the intent ard
purpose OF this noble deed was the
same as if he had recovered. He. will
be missed on all hands, but no whel e
as in his own home, where the motht r
with her three little ones will wait in
vain for his coming. Where father,
mother and all in his old home iIl;miss
his genial presence as he slipped in and
out and where his auto horn AWAY S
notified them of his passing.
Appropriate services conducted by
Rev. j. c. Ely, D. D., assisted by-Rev.
J. NJ. DaYis, a life long andgdevoted
friend of the family, We're held on iFr.-
day afternoon in the Presbyterian
church, of which he was a member.
Many could not secure an entrance to
the building. From the church. follow
ed by large concourse of friends and
accompanied by large representation
of his lodge, his remains were borne to
the cemetery where he reposes in full
view of his old home. He rests be-
meath covering Of choicest flowers,
the gifts of those who cherished and
loved him.
1t is for the living to lay the lesson of
this sad providence to heart that they
may live in such way, that they shall
be missed when they are gone re
membered by what we have done.
The active pallbearers were Messrs.
". A. Sturgiss, w. O. Davis, Harland
L. Jones, John W. Davis, DR.. K. F.
Bartlett and Dr. John E. Legge. The
obsequies was attended by friends from
Parkersburg, Clarksburg. Grafton and
other cities in West Virginia and Cum
berland was represented by the follow
ing; Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Humbird.
Mrs. Anna NJ. Devries, MIR. Carl ?.
Heintz, Miss Henrietta Seymour, Mr..
l. NJ. Sheppard and DR.. John f, Legge,
1t is not the tear at this moment
shed
When the cold turf has Just been laid
DER them
That can tell how beloved was the
friend that is fled
Or how deep in our hearts we deplore
them.
It's the tear through many a long day
wept,
IT'S life's whole path Ger shaded,
It's the one sad memory fondly kept,
When all lighter griefs are faded"

THE NEW HAVEN SETTLEMENT.

The New Haven railway follows close in the foot
steps of the great Morgan banking house, in recog
nzing the spirit and purposes of the Administration
in dealing with great aggregations of property. 1t
is not necessary now to discuss the question of
whether New England will be better served by dis
severed transportation system. The New Haven, the
Boston and Maine, and the Boston and Albany, it is
stated are TO be sundered The steamship lines and
the troleys are TO be pruned away from the parent
system that Mr.. Meen put together at cost of so
much pains, efort-and money
Whether single gigantic transport system might
have been best for New England or not, New Eng
land the country, and the National Administration
have agreed that the system Mr.. Meen organized,
thing possible.
That is about all that is to be said now. Consoida-
ton and Capitalization have not much to urge in
their favor unless they improve credit, get
cheaper capital give better service, and do the pub
lies business with more safety and efficiency. They
apparently could not, in the fashion in which they
were applied in New England Therefore, New Eng
land is going back to earlier models, and to try out
once the simpler mechanism by which it is
hoped that closer and more intensive attention to de-
tails on management may be secured.
That the Federal Government and the compleXity
of New Haven interests have been able to agree on
an adjustment without litigation is of the most
gratifying aspects of the whole situation. 1t shows
that men coming to realize the all-round oblga-
ton to the public as a whole Litigation and uncer-
tanty inevitably mean dissipation losses, and bad re-

WHAT ARE MEN COMING TO?

We learn with trepidaton, but not with total sur
prise, that the National Association of Clothing De-
signers, at its convention in Baltimore last week.
issued some rather sweeping DEGREES. When wom-
ems fashions changing so fast that there is a
new style almost as soon as the package last or
dered delivered from the store one can never tell
when the contagion will spread to the sex that is
commonly supposed to frown on such things.
Mems fashions, it is true, change slowly, but
they do change. What a startling sartorial contrast
there is between the men of Washingtons time with
their coored velvet coats satin waiscoatS and fluffy
rues, and those of the late Georgian period in Eng
land and America, when the long trousers and the
swallowtail had come in vogue and the tall beaver
had succeeded the cooked hat! And what a further
transformation to the costumes of the seventies when
severe planness set in, TO be followed by the reac-
ton to the smarter effects visible today which are
slowly Sapping the reputation of tine less beautiful sex
for being proof against the temptation to deck them
selves in glad habmentS
Who would have thought a few years back that
overcoats would be worn whose circumference at
the bottom would bear about the same proportion
TO the opening at the neck that the base of the Pyra-
mid of Cheops bears to its pinnacle? When the won
der OF such things Overcomes us we may we'll be par
dored for gasping at the possibility of which hints
have not been wanting that the rued trouser bottom
will succeed the prevalent "turn-up, and that the
soft evening shirt is but the fOrerunner of other
innovations that will keep running to the tailor
and the haberdasher until we are out of breath

FAMINE IN JAPAN.

short news cable from Tokyo announcing that
100000 of Japanese are starving in the northeast
ern districts of Japan because of crop failures in
parts of this country don't mean starvation there.
They don't mean hunger. There is enough in the
other parts of the country to feed ALL and in one way
and another they are fed.
In Japan the earnings of the people are so rneager
and the prosortion of those earnings that is confs
Gated by government taxation is large that when
there are no crop failures and when there are no
unemployed millions of that countrys wage-earning
producers, laboring long hours and laboring hard,
as the Japanese does labor have so little with which
to be fed day by day, week by week and month by
month, that what would seem to them feaSting on
bounty would be for the poorest of our American
wage-earners literal starvation.

TRUST WILL FAIL
IF HEN QUITS

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IL
Teach your hens not to lay in
the month of April and you
may solve the Egg trust prob
lem, because Old Biddy per-
sists in working overtime in
that month, and gives the cold
storage men chance to reap
a harvest.
The above is suggested by in
formation gathered by Albert
Schoonover, United States
district attorney, during in
vestigations into cold storage
conditions, that will be report
ed at Washington.
If hens would lay regularly from
May until March and then quit
in April, the supply for cold
storage would be limited and
the egg monopoly would not
exist.

storm of protest that has reasonably insured against
early repetition.
But suppose that the tribunal of last resort had
Sweepngly sustained the proceedings of the West
Virginia drumhead courts-martial? Then we should
have had mild suggestion of what has been done in
Germany.
1t is difficult to believe that twentieth century
civilization will for long consent to such subverSon
of civil rights of a great people.

WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE?

1t must be a terrible shock to Uncle Sam to find
anybody declining to accept at his hands coin
stamped with his imprint the equivalent We
suppose he will have a hard time realizing that he
is not in topsyturvy land when he contemplates Mrs
Redheld Proctors final refusal to take 81 800 voted
her by the Senate in accordanco with the custom of
allowing the widow of member an amount equal
to one years salary for her husband
True, Senator Proctor during his lifetime laid
by something for a rainy day and his widow makes
no secret of the fact that she will be heavy con-
tributor to the income tax. She simply says shL
does not need the money and will not have it, so
there you are Uncle Sam can steel himself and
get over the sensational surprise as best he may.
Freaks of the so-called conscience fund, made
up of money returned to the Government by per-
sons who are not entitled to it, familiar. that
they create only mild interest in Washington. But
here is kind of conscience fund started by the
widow of the Vermont Senator, and we shall hope
to see it grow:

the rental type, the nervous type, the
sanguine type or rhe lympthaic type.
Men of the sanguine temperament
never go bad. They are well built, su-
ally have light hair and blue eyes, fair
complexion, ruddy faces, and great ac-
tivity Of blood vessels, are fond Of eXer-
else, face animated, brain full, and body
active and alive. They are seldom, II
ever, scholars. but good business men.
They live well and spend their money
freely They are well liked and pOpu-
lar.
The nervous type Is moody, restless,
and acts by hts and starts. The fea-
lures are fine, the face pyrafOrm. the
limbs small and flexible, the eyes full
and moving, bright, and generally
prominent
Conditions Here Unique.
The hair is fine and soft and gener-
aIlv abundant. The cheeks are thin.
The pressing genius Of this tempera-
ment is the brain working at the ex-
pense Of the weaker body. These people
are seldom in business. They are usu-
ally in professions. You never know
them or how to amuse them. one day
they are most affable and the next day
they may abuse you.
THE Iymphatic type is, as a rule, un-
educated, eats a lot, prefers to be out
doors. and is fond of good living and
sports This type lives mostly for the
.Omach. The brain works slowly but
5, ely. As a rule they are very fat,
ileshy men. with no manners A person
of this type is better seen after a good
dinner than on an empty stomach.
THE mental type Is certainly the most
intellectual. This type. as a rule, pos
sesses black hair, dark skin, fullness

SABRE RULE" IN GERMANY.

The honor of the German military establishment
has been upheld in connection with the yexing Ia
bern incident. The courtmartal mas sustained the
conduct of the young officer who stuck sabre into
lame shoemaker at the Alsatian town because he
considered that the offender was ridcung the mill
tary.
The officer was sentenced at the first hearing to
90 to prison. That sentence has now been set aside
and in addition tine officers in command at Zabern
have been justified in using military power 10 over
awe the Zabern populace and impress them generally
with the superiority of the military institution
In effect these determinations will be construed
holding that the whim of military authority is su
perior to the civil law of the empire 1t is strange
doctrine to be promulgated and sustained in so mod
ern and civilized country the Germany of today
Yet it is the perhaps inevitable result of giving
miitarism that tremendous importance that it has as
sumed in Germany Military power and civil au-
thory do not subsist easily side by side. The mill
tary arm naturally, having weapons in its hands, IS
aggressive We have seen how willingly military au-
thory will override CIVIL in the recent manifestations

READY TO commence
VALUATION PROBE
Interstate Commerce comissiOn
to Begin Work on Roads at
Kansas City.

Actual work OF counting the siea,s -
accordance with the act Of Congress cali
ing for a physical valuation Of all the
railroads in the United States. win be-
gin in Kansas City next week under the
direction OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Within the next six weeks the same
work will probably be started In San
Francisco, and by April / it viii be pro-
gresing at a rapid rate throughout the
country. For convenience in making
the valuations the commission has di-
vided the country into FIVE districts-the
Eastern, with headquarters In Wash
ington; the Southern. with headquarters
at Chattanooga: the central. with head
quarters at Chicago; the Western, with
headquarters at Kansas City. and the
Pacific. with headquarters at san Fran
cisco.
Worley In Charge.
The work at Kansas City, which will
be the first in any Of the divisions, will
be in charge OF Engineer J. S. worIey,
with W. C. Witt as first assistant.
About forty men are now available, and
these will work in squars OF six or
seven.
No valuation OF the terminals in the
large cities will be attempted until all OF
the roads have been covered. At first
the roads will be inYoiced one at time,
but as the work progresses and the
number and efficiency Of the men IN
creases the scope VIII be enlarged until
work will be In progress on several
roads simultaneously.
Into Every Detail
While a force Of men are at work
counting the cars, engines. rails,
switches, buildings, and other properties
of the road. another viii be going over
its books, figuring its capitalization and
Indebtedness and attempting to arrive
at its paper valuation" Both corps
will make weekly reports to the COM
mission in Washington, 80 that the
members here win always know Just
what is being done.
The chief difficulty so far has been
to get competent men to do the tn-
voicing. They have been selected under
civil service rules, and Kansas City was
the first to get a force large enough
to begin operations. Commissioner
Prouty, who has direct charge Of the
valuation, has been advised by R A.
Thompson, in charge of the Pacific di-
vision, that the work Of invoicing the
Coast lines can begin shortly. Chicago,
where w. d. Pence is recruiting force,
will probably be the third city to begin
work II. NJ. Jones is in charge OF the
southern division, and Edwin f. West
