"HE SLEEPS WITH
THE FATHERS"

AS will be- seen by a notice else
where in the Gazette, J. Wallace Hooff
one of the oldest and most generally
esteemed citizens of Alexandria paid
the debt Of nature this morning, after
an unusually long pilgrimage, he
having reached the age of 90 years.
Up to short time ago it might be
said Of him as it was of Moses. "his
eye was not dimmed nor his natura!
force abated."
There are but few nonagenarians
in any community, but Alexandria
generally has her average. Mr.. Hooff
was one of that bare corpofal's guard.
He had lived, moved and had his be-
ing in this community for over four
and a half score of years.

good citizen. Entering the school

THE LAST
SCENE OF ALL.

A dispatch from Berlin says the
war seems to have completely shat
tered the nerves of the aged Emperor
Francis Joseph, whom nobody il
Vienna, nor anywhere else, as far as
the general public IS concerned, has
seen for many months.
He never leaves Schoenbrunn, where
he lives the life of a hermit, in total
ignorance of everything that hap
pens in the outside world.
No word of the war is permitted to
pass the gates of the imperial hermit
tage. and so Francis Joseph hears ab-
solutely nothing Of the confagration
to which he gave the signal himself
when he declared war against Serbia
The old Emper,r is exceedingly
weak and mentally he is an absolute
.. wreck, and it is question whether he
has any idea whatever of the fact that
his empire is struggling for its exis-
tence. Very often it is said he gives
way to violent attacks Of weeping
He sleeps or dozes for twenty hours
out of every twenty-rour, speaks only
to his personal valet and very rarely
receives anyone in d! ,cience, rot ever
any of the numerous imperial high
nesseS.
The old monarch has now only one
,iesire-to be left in peace and be al.
| lowed to die in peace.

With conscience void, of eHense
toward God and toward man.. he fui-
filled his mission in life and lived to
a ripe old age, faithful unto death.
He was probably the Oldest subscrip-
er and reader of the Gazette. He read
everything in the paper, and the ON
,ission of the slightest feature at
tracted his attention. Some time ago
we inadvertently omitted the few
lines announcing the rising and set
ting of the sun. Mr.. Hooff called i'm
mediate attention to the absence OF
this information. We have endeavor-
ed since to keep this announcement
at the top of the first page.

The party was received with courtesy,

The following is from Twain's' book:
