words, "for later use" and her
name, written on the margin of
the paper:
Last Words
Call me not back, with loving words and tender;
Thou lov'st me we'll, but Jesus loves me more.
Bid me farewell, and let me now surrender
My life my all, to Hum whom ! adore.
Alas! how soon, must earthly ties be broken
We part. e'er dies the sunlight in the west.
Oh! may hear, those blessed words once spoken,
Come tome and will give you rest"
Theglorious light, that shineth from His presence
Reflected down, has found home In thee.
To cheer and Comfort, by thy loving intense,
This poor weak heart, that soon shall cease TO be
The chords Of love are hard to break asunder.
We part with tears, to meet in realms Of light,
Where we shall see, with love, and joy, and wonder
Our blessed Lord, and all his angels bright.
o joy divine! rapture past expressing tsmail
How poor our sorrows there shall seem--how
weiive, surrounded by diyinest blessings,
And Christ himself shall be our All in All.

There is no death, the stars go down

And bright in heavens ieweled crown
They shine forever more.
There Is no death, the dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers,
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
There is no death, the leaves may fail,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The warm sweet b cath Of May.
There is no death, the choisest gifts
That heaven have lent 10 earth,
Are ever drst to seek again
The country OF their birth.
And all things that for growth or joy
Are worthy Of our love and care,
Whose loss has left us desolate
Are safely garneTed there.
The voice Of bird like melody
That we have missed so long
Now mingles with the angel chur
= In everlasting song.
They have but dropped their robes Of clay
To put their shining raiment on.
They have not wondered far away
They are not lost, nor gone
And ever near us. though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread.
For all the boundless universe
Is life---tbere are no dead.

ROOSEVELT ASTON
ISHED AT THE S. @.
CONTRIBUTIONS
To His Campaign Fund, as He Had Given
Definite Orders Against Receiving
Money from Standard Oil.

Syracuse, n. Y. April "a. Theodor
Roosevelt told on the second day of hi
cross examination, about his dealing
with the bosses" his personal relation
with William Barnes and his ideas about
campaign funds of millions of dollars
He mentioned the famous half million
dollars Thomas Fortune Ryan contrib
uted to the cause of Alton b. Parker anc
swore he never had seen list of the
names of the persons who helped swell
the fund of S3,000,000 used in connection
with his campaign for the presidency
The list contained the initials of men the
colonel readily identified as being allied
with the country's most powerful busi-
ness and financial interests.
In speaking of the Ryan contribution,
the witness gave it as his opinion that
leader OF big business who contributes
a half million dollars TO help elect a
candidate for president of the United
States is prompted by the same spirit
which would cause him TO donate sim
liar sum to a church and that such a
contributor has no more hope OF reward
in one case than he has in the other.
Y
very much surprised II many masters of
big business had not contributed TO the
Republican campaign of 1904.
The colonel mentioned the STANDARD
Oil company and campaign contributions,
too. He said that If the report Of the
campaign committee which investigated
his campaign contributions showed that

witness thought stood for II. H. Rogers

INCREASE OF REVENUE
FROM WATER SYSTEM
Is Proposal About Which the City Coun'
Gil Members Have Not Made Up
Their Minds Definitely.

Some of the perplexing problems Incl
dent to the proposed change in the waite
rates were threshed out at a lengthy ses
sion of the city council last evening, whel
the schedule submitted by the alderman
water committee at the meeting Tuesda,
night was examined in detail. Frank q
Lee. the water superintendent, and N. d
Phelps were called into the conference
No action was taken, as the councillor
plan to defer any definite stand on thu
tentative schedule until hearing ha'
been held with the granite manufactur
ers. The latter have asked that the hear
ing be postponed until all labor Difficult
ties are adjusted. Last nights specia
meeting was called for the purpose OF
famil iliarizng the member of the council
with the workings of the new meter
schedule, should it be adopted.
Although no member of the council
processes to have made up his mind on
the advisability of the change, it was
plainly to be seen that sentiment on the
meter and the fiat rate systems is diyid-
ed Alderman Cook quoted someone as
saying that the present income of the
water department is plenty large enough
and in rebutting this contention he said
he would be glad to see it increased Sl0,-
600. As against this expression of a
viewpoint that is not held by Mr. Cook
alone, someone else advanced the theory
that the city water system, as a public
utility, is supposed to be operated for
the direct benefit of the people and not
for profit. Superintendent Lee furnished
the information that there are l,725 CON
nections in the city with 400 meters in
stalled. Alderman Cook who as chair
man of the water committee. led off in
explaining the meter scheduled as draft
ed by the committee. said the revenue
from business blocks in the city had been
increased $3.50 since the introduction of
the meters.
Basing the computations on theorti
cal consumption of 100000 gallons of
water daily in Barre. divided equally be-
tween the manufacturers and the domes-
tic users, it was claimed that rs gallons
Of water day per capita are used in
this city. reckoning that 10000 people are
consumers. The city clerk and others
questioned the validity of this claim,
citing Burlington, where the consump-
tion is 81 gallons per capita, Boston
with 72 gallons, and environs with from
30 to 10 gallons, to show that the con
in Barre could not reasonably |
Dc expected to be greater. 1t was said
that Burlington's water revenue was
yauged by the meter system. Alderman
Rossi thought the revenue from the pres
mt system of assessment is unsatisfac-
ory and inadequate. Other members OF
he council had pronounced views on the
question, but were open to conviction in
'thcr directions.
Before adjournment it was decided to
ngage C. II. Crandall of Burlington, a
onsulting engineer. to devise and sub
nit an experts idea of what would con-
titute an equitable schedule of rates for
,arre. Mr.. Crsndal is a man of wide
xperience and his services are expected
o go long way toward solution of
he water problem
