more under contract, by permission OF
the Chinese government, for four years
service in France. Russia has contract
ed for 10000. Of whom $500 have
reached the country.
Most Of the 0rientsls are trained
artisans, drawing as high as IS day.
Specially chartered ships are moving
them 70 France. while Russia is trans

Emperor Died Peacefully,
Slowly Sinking Away

Vienna, Nov. 22.-The death Of En-
peror Francis Joseph last night &C.
Cured at 9:05 o'clock. The end was
peaceful, the aged monarch passing
away as if sinking into sleep. Among
those in the death chamber at Schoen-
brunn Castle was the heir apparent,
Archduke Charles Francis Joseph.
Shortly after midday there was an
appreciable rise in the Emperor's tenn
perature. Although the Emperor had
been about early to attend to state af-
fairs and had eaten a light meal, 1t
was evident after 2 o'clock that crisis
was approaching. About 6 o'clock in
the evening the attending physicians
were almost ready to abandon hope, the
Emperor lapsing slowly into uncon-
ciousness.
Baron Burian Summoned
The Emperor had been suffering from
a bronchial Inflammation, but pneumo-
MIA developed and suddenly reached a
critical stage. and from 8 o'clock on

Comment in the newspapers voiced
regret that the Emperor had not been
spared long enough to see the end OF
the war. According TO the accepted
view here, nobody regretted the war
more than he. as he never tired Of as
surfing his intimates.
With Emperor Francis Joseph passes
the worlds Oldest monarch, man
whose life was one continuous tragedy,
which was TO end in the greatest trag-
edy of all time-the present war.
Francis Joseph was really beloved by
his people, who comprised half score
of races. They found in him the cement
which held together the state structure
Of Austria-Hungary.
Gave Large Sums In Aims
To the very last the Emperor, VINO
had no conception Of the value OF
money, spent prodigious sums in char

old men and women who used to come

CLASSY RAGING At

MANAGEMENT entitled to
much credit for splendid

Ii is seldom that Grand Circuit racing
is witnessed at a Matinee on half mile
track, but such was the delightful ex-
periepce of the immense crowd that en-
ioyed the classy program al the Hartford
track on July 4. There was a splendid
field of high class horses, the track was
lightning fast, the weather ideal and the
crowd in good aunor Everything COM
bined to make the day Of racing splen-
did success. The feature of the after
noon was the lightning speed of Nellie @.
When the little beauty stepped the last
quarter and flashed under the wire in
81 seconds, 2:05 clip, the crowd arose
to its feet and cheered again and again.
The management is certainly to be
congratulated on the excellent arrange
ments and the high class OF sport fur

NEW POSTMASTER
NOW At THE HELM
HI. A. Cole assumed duties
OF office on Wednesday.
Appointment is popular
one.

ii. A. Cole is now postmaster at Paw
Paw. He assumed charge last Wednes-
day morning. Postmaster Wakeman's 8
four years of service expired on June II,
and Mr. Cole should have had charge at
that time as his appointment was con-
firmed on the second day of June. The
important and critical affairs of the ma
tiou at this time, however, have kept
President Wilson's time fully occupied,
and postoffice commissions have lain on
his desk several weeks awaiting his sig
nature.
Mr.. Coles appointment is a popular
one. He has been a resident of Paw Paw
for upwards of 80 years. For over 30
years he was owner and publisher Of the
Free Press & Courier, which was the
only democratic paper in Van Buren,
county. He has always been active in
the councils of his party and is al pres
eut secretary of the democratic county
committee The postoffice comes as a
merited reward for services rendered his
party.
The fact that Mr.. Cole WAS the only
candidate for the appointment, and that
his petitions were universally signed by
both democrats and republicans is suf-
ficent evidence Of his standing in the
community, and the popularity of his
selection as postmaster. He enters up
on his duties with the best wishes of the
retiring postmaster and the public 10
general.
FIX. Postmaster Wakeman will now, as
soon as all his postoffice reports ale CON-
pleted. devote his entire time to The
Northerner. He was the recipient of a
handsome thermos bottle, gift from
the postal employees as a token OF their
respect and esteem. To say that the
remem brance is appreciated by the re-
cipient is putting it too mildly. He will
treasure it in the years TO come, as a
memento Of four pleasant years spent in
association with the best postoffice force
in the United States.
