TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.

Charles Luling of this city died on
Saturday last at 1890 2. M. after a
painful illness lasting over two months.
The simple announcement OF his death
will bring 10 The minds Of all who
knew him record OF manly traits, of
unsetish devotion TO friends and SYM
pathy for those in distress so broad
that it knew no distinction OF class,
race or creed. Charles Luling needs
no eulugium that his virtues may be
brought before the people who knew
him and loved him. His whole life
speaks louder in his traise than words
can and though friendship may prompt
the utterance Of what feeling could not
suppress, words appear mean when
made descriptive OF the generous ma
ture Of the man.

banking business at Napieville, Ill.
Mr.. Luling was employed by them as
clerk n tho bank. In 1856 he vas made
cashier OF b bank in Fox Lake which
was owned by Mr.. Barnes, but the

he returned to Napieville. In 1859 he
came to Manitowoc. Barnes Bros.

the bank then known as the Bank OF

was established in 1865 and he was
elected its cashier This position he
held until the bank was merged into
the State Bank OF Nanitowoc some
months ago, when he became It's cash.

SABBATH BREAKING. Since our
residence in this State we have heard
much comment pro and con as to the
moral effect on the rising generation
of the Sabbath breaking propensities
of the German element in our midst.
That they frequented parks and gar
dens on Sunday, where brass bands
were discoursing the most enchanting
music, and that they even listened with
evident pleasure.
Bs We were reared in the east, where
nothing but Asiatic cholera or small
pox were valid excuses for non attend
ance at Sunday school, we naturally
shook our head in omionus warning OF
such examples. But just imagine our
surprise, when we learned on Monday
last that the Puritans who are furnish
ing the money to build the Lake Shore
& Western Railroad, had permitted
the builders and operators, also of Pur-
itanc stock, TO concentrate their forces
from both roads on Saturday night, SO
that on Sunday last, while the resident
Puritans were at church, and the Ger
mans we're in their parks, finished the
grading and laid nearly a mile Of track
taking them out of our city limits and
beyond the reach OF any special police
man that might have been appointed
by the Board on Monday following.
We are especially sorry that this Sun.
day breakage has happened, as in fu-
Jure our lectures to our German fellow
citizens will be cut short by the an
swer, the Puritars did these things.

It's commendable trait that when
something has been of benefit to US,
we want TO share it with others who
stand in need of the same help. It's
the touch of Nature that makes the
whole world kin-the wanting to be
helpful to our fellow men. That is
why people who have used Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy write letters to
the manufacturers about it, and ask
to have them published SO that others
will know what to do under the same
circumstances. Behind every one of
these letters is the warm hearted wish
OF the writer to be of use to some one
