••^J* '•*zm~ J ._ is • KDGAR PARKER, Editor. TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1902. JElF'The New York Sun's manage- ment seems to have changed somewhat the past few weeks. It has been the strongest Republican paper as to read- ing matter in, the city. It was against union labor, and has spent a fortune in fighting the union. This, has btjen changed. One of our exchanges says that Dana interests in the paper have been sold. If so, that accounts for the change. Under the venerable Charles A. Dana the Sun was at least conser- vative. It supported Cleveland for President in his three campaigns, we believe, but was rather lukewarm in the third, going it on the motto it set up—\No Force Bill; No Negro Domi- nation,\ and it won on this line. But we!ll say this, after reading the Sun for twelve years or more, it is a news- paper aud always has been so, and if it does flop to -the Democratic side of the argument it will be welcomed. le bill to issue bonds for $31,- 800.000 to improve the Erie-aud Cham- plain canal, passed the Senate last Tuesday evening after considerable de- bate. iSenator Raines voted against the bill, and in doing so is in line with the wishes of his constituents and about all the farmers of the State. The canals have besn the dumping place 4 for the people's money for many years. Here wilj be a million dollars a year more interest to pay every year, besides ere ating a sinking fund, not a dollar of it coming back to the State treasury. In his remarks Senator said his reason for \opposing the bill was that he refused to vote for any bill that would result in placing the Democratic party in con. trol of State affairs next fall, as this canal proposition would surely do.\ It passed the senate by a vote of 27 to 15. It was killed in the assembly. JSP™ This paper joines heartily with others in requesting congress to vote Solidly for the removal of all duties on wood pulp and ground wood that enter into the manufacture of paper. As it now stands it is a tax upon informa- tion, and a benefit only to the combine. There is a relief measure now before congress. Congressman Payne has always been fair-minded toward the press, and he will not desist? now. Good wood pulp paper ought now to be sold at two cents per pound, that is the figure placed upon it by the New York Times. The present price for good paper is from $2.75 to $3.00 per hundred delivered. The Dingley tariff act needs modification in various par- ticulars. Congress will vote to reduce the tax on Cuban sugar, knocking off twenty per cent. Now for paper. J^™Assemblyman Jean L. Burnett of Ontario, succeeded by the help of a few others, in defeating the big canal appropriation bill, that is, not enough yotes were mustered to carry the bill through, lacking about eight as we read it. The Governor favors canal en- largement, so does a majority in the senate. The bill may yet come up. in another form, but it is rather late. A sigh of relief will be heaved up all over the State at this escape from a bonded debt of over $31,000,000. We believe the people w^uld willingly vote to turn the canals oVer tp-^ the U. S. Govern- ment for its management, tolls or no tolls. As the canals are now their ca- pacity is for twenty times the number of boats that passed through them last year. §3iF = General Wood returned last Thursday from Cuba, He is outspoken about the reduction of duties on Cuban sugar and says that twenty per cent, is not enough—it is not doing justice to the producers there. He does not say how much the reduction should be, but probably he would advise removing the duties entirely. That is the Democratic idea v to give the Cubans every chance possible. It is a struggling little colony, under the protection of the U. S. Gov- ernment yet, and in time may become a State among us. 8aJP™ There have been reports that the physicians who attended President McKinley would send in bills aggregat- ing $100,000. This is emphatically de- nied by a prominent member of con- gress who says the bills are all in, amount to $50,000 and in this total are included the bills of the nurses, the telegraph companies and the under- taker, the last being $2,100., Even this $50,000 is pretty steep, but men with reputation do not' work any more for their health. S^^Incendiarism seems to be grow- ing. The fire at Shortsville is believed to have been of that origin, and farther away, in New York, an attempt was made to set fire to the Astor House, probably for loot. A man who would endanger scores of human lives for purposes of robbery is a bad egg sure enough, and worst of all, it is hard to arrest and convict the right man. There seems to be no safety anywhere except at home. (gUT\ Eighteen violently insane sol- diers from the Philippine Islands pass- ed through Oinaha, Neb., last Wednesr day night on their way to the soldiers* hospital at Washington. The poor fel- lows are said to be incurably insane There are many more sueh in the Phil- ippines, and hundreds have reached home before these eighteen arrived. Park Avenue, New Yof k, seems! to be under a spell. Last Thursday there' was a cave m on the west side nearly all'the way from. 37th to 38th street, caused by the open fissures in the rock following: the,excavation for the rapid transit tunnel. Hot a house on the block was regarded safe. This follows the railroad disaster in the tun- nel, and the explosion that caused such wreckage at 41st street. It would in- deed'be strange if accidents did not fol- low so much honey combing under- ground for a dozen different purposes, Trouble is looked for in other parts of the city. JggjT'The latest reports from Albany, while they do not indicate the man to be nominated for Governor on the Democratic ticket, they do indicate that it will certainly be a New York man, and the Lieut. Governor will be from the interior of the State. The rest is left to surmise, and one man is as good as another at guessing. [^\Thousands 0 of Porto Ricans have contributed to the McKinley memorial. The national secretary reports that $1,496.42 has been raised in the island, and the number of contributors runs far up into the thousands. Jacdb A. Cantor for Governor. The papers all over the State are say ing kind things of Jacob A. Cantor, the President of Manhattan Borough usider the present city administration. *He is a good man for the office, a fearless, brainy man, loaded with fourteen years successive service in the legislature. He appears to be the candidate not only of New Yorkers, but Buffalo, Albany, and many of the interior counties. We had supposed Mr. Milburn of Buffalo, a well-known Democrat, would be the candidate. It was at his home the lamented President McKinley was borne to breathe his life away. Poli- tics was not thought of then, and Mr. Milburn gave up his whole home to his guests. But it is said he is ready to pronounce for Cantor, Here is what one leading Democrat says of him : \It would be difficult to find a better man to head the Democrats in the com- Ling struggle for State supremacy than President Cantor. During his service in the Legislature he fought constantly for the rights of localities without regard to their political complexion. Like the late Governor Flower, he stood for the rights of the rural sec- tions of the State as valiantly as for the rights of the populous centres. Cantor is a ruggedly honest man, who loves the State and the people and who never tires of laboring in their Sehalf. His work as a member of the Finance Com- mittee, when he was the Democratic leader of the Senate, will be long re- membered Mc&iuley's Tomb Guarded. Since the day of the funeral of the murdered President, when \taps\ were sonnded at the vault, it has been guarded night and day by the soldiers. At first seventy-five men performed this duty, but they were reduced afters few months to the number of 40. No one except the captains of the guard, Mrs. McEmley and relatives and intimate friends of the family, the superintendent of the cemetery, the un- dertaker and florist especially designat- ed for such service has been permitted to enter the vault. The tomb is guard- ed in the strictest style. Day and night, in rain and snow and ^sunshine, when the temperature is below zero—as it has been more than once this winter—the soldiers maintained their guard, pacing about the vault with measured tread, always on the alert always obeying the strict letter of the regulations under which they act. Each day six privates and one non- commissioned officer are detailed for guard duty. The six are divided into three reliefs of the two men each. Each relief stands guard for two hours at a time. A telephona in the sentry box in front of the vault is connected with telephones in the quarters of the com- missioned officers at the boarding-house near the cemetery. The men are quar- tered in barracks erected for their ac- commodation. Over George H.' Myers Property; From the Canandaigua, Journal. A case <&f unusual interest which Judge Parkhurst has heard in equity court is the action .entitled Clara B. Myers against Mary J. Hobson and others. The action was brought to have a parole agreement made by Gh H. Myers with plaintiff's mother specifically performed. . Clara Myers is the illegitimate daughter of George H. Myers, formerly a merchant doing business at Geneva. The plaintiff claims that Myers made an agreement with her mother by which she gave the plaintiff to Myers when she was about five years old, with the understanding that he should treat her as his own child (which she was, but not known to the world as such) and gave her his name. Much evidence was introduced to show Myers' interest in the growing child. The plaintiff also sought to show that as a part of the agreement Myers was to give her his property at his death. Myers died Nov. 4, 1889, leaving no will. He left no children. Immediately his sisters and nephews claimed the property, which <has now been reduced to about $4,000. Clara B, Myres, the plaintiff, claims that she is the lawful heir to his property and is making a hard fight to secure it through her attorneys, Sackett & Sacked, with Judge Kuapp as counsel. Clara has grown to be a handsome and accom- plished young woman. When she was 23 years of age, her father's wife hav- ing died and he having brought home a woman^. who was objectionable to her, she went away. All day Wednes- day G. L. Bachman, representing the defendants who are claiming Myers' property, introduced testimony in an effort to shake the faith in the young woman's moral character and therefore her right to the pioperty. Clara's black eyes snapped defiance at the witnesses who attempted to injure her and then in turn poured out sympathy for the wriggling victims of Judge Knapp's searching cross-examination. Just faint- ly attached to this case is another, now forgotten, which was in the public eye a few years ago. The woman whom Miss Myres objected to in the household was Mrs. Alcock, whose zealousness to be devorced from her husband at that time landed Fred Easto in Auburn prison. •• A Pretty Wedding.' The marriage of Wm. Coffin and Miss Jennie Holland occurred last Thursday at noon at the home of the bride's par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. James Holland,near Bellona. There were nearly 150 guests present, crowding the house to its full capacity. The attending clergymen were Revs. Mr, Temple of Seneca, Mr. McGee and Mr. Saxe of Bellona. The house was nicely decorated for the oc- casion, and the guests were received and welcomed by the soon-to-be bride and groom. At the appointed hour Miss McGee played the wedding march, and to its strains the pair entered the bridal room, where they were soon joined in matrimony. There were two bridesmaids, Miss Jennie Wilson and a young lady from Vine Valley. Fred. Holtby and Roy Bond acted as ushers. After the wedding a grand supper was served by lady friends of the family, in four large rooms so that there was lit- tle waiting. The presents were numer- ous and elegant. The couple left at three o'clock, for a short bridal trip, and the guests departed an hour later. Those who attended from the city were O, J. C Rose and daughter, Mrs. Geo. Barnes and daughter, Misses Mabel Ansley, Ida Bond, Mary Black and Alice Moses. Miss N Rose carried her camera along and photographed the bridal party. It was one of the pret- ties!, weddings that has occurred in that section for many a day. News From Offlier localities, r —It was not the best business portion of Shortsville that was burned. The fire was in the eastern part of the vil- lage. —It required twelve men to carry the remains in a casket of Dennis Leahy who recently died in New York. He weighed 700 pounds. —At a recent banquet given in Phil- adelphia by P. A. D, Widner, among other articles were fresh peaches, im- ported from London. They cost $1.50 each. ^ —Seneca Falls people are A little shaken up because Bert Eastman was at home with his parents there during his early age of the small pox. The family there has been placed under quarantine. —A three-weeks-old child at Harper, Kas., began saying, February 20th: \Six years of famine for Kansas,\ and has continued at intervals since. It uses no other words, and superstitous people are greatly alarmed. *° —The trustees of Newark did the square thing for the Sherman opera house at their last meeting. This re- duced its assessment from \$16 to $i;',599, and voted to give a license during the year 1902 for one dollar. —Father Berkery of Medina has suc- ceeded in raising more than $10,070 for a new Catholic church to be erected in that town, The edifice when completed will cost $40,000 and will be one of the handsomest in that section of the state. Collaspe and Fire at Seneca Falls. HP The man who set fire to the Astor House last week has been arrest- ed, and under hard pressure confessed that he started the fire. He had done it eight times before, and extinguished the fire each time. His object was to get a reward. He was the elevator man of the house. \He won't go there any more.\ loutd the State issue $31,800,- 000 more for the canals how long be fore the State can have another Gover- nor Flower to turn over the keys of office to his successor with the remark, \The State of New York is entirely free fro/n debt?\. Not in our time, and perhaps not yours, young readers. A report reached here Sunday a little before noon that a whole row of stores oq the river side of Fall street in Sen- eca Falls had collapsed and the ruins were burning fiercely; from nine to nineteen people had been crushed and killed by the falling walls. The report came a little before noon. Geueva people,hurried to dinner and from one o'clock until five p m. every car run- ning to Seneca Falls was packed. A fair estimate placed upon the number qf people going down to see the ruins would be 500, and the round trip rafe 40 cents, would give the electric road $200, The picture had been overdrawn. It was the Desky building, a little east and opposite the postoffice. It was oc- cupied as a small hotel by M. E» Han- lin, barroom below, dining-room on the second floor and sleeping rooms on ( the third floor. It was a total collapse, and the ruin was complete. The fire caught from the stoves after the build- ing fell, but was easily confined to that one place. Stowell's bargain house stands next west, and it looks as if the east wall of that building will collapse I unless very soon shored up. It is a * hard place to build securely, the bottom of the rear walls nearly thirty feet be low the surface of the street. ' There were no casualties. The cook was slightly injured about the head, and one man eseaped from the front upper story by means of a ladder. Water was still being thrown upon the ruins at four o'clock, although we fail- ed to see even smoke, People return ing from there made little explanation but let the crowds go on. JEfF* One of the pension department officials says that within ten years the expenditure for pensions will decrease fifty per cent. The pension appropria- tion this year is $133,000,000 less than it was last year, and he believes this is the beginning of decline. The Y. M. C. A.—-Whatever plans are finally adopted for rebuilding the Y. M. C, A., the work is going to be done. The conservative members fayor no en- largement of it, aud desire to make provision for all renting space on the ground floor. This is commendable. Geneva needs a greater awakening than ever before to get the institution on a basis that will rebuild it, pay for it, and make it self-supporting. It is a noble institution for steering young men into the right paths, but in justice to the Association their duty is to cheer- fully pay a full share of tbe expense. There are several clubs ip town whose annual dues aire from $1J2 to $20 a year, four times as much as those of the Y. M, C. A., and they flourish. We know that some of our wealthy citizens have contributed very liberally to the Asso- ciation, and they will continue to do so. but there should be a corresponding disposition on the part of those who reap the benefits. This is not only honest, but it is just. Hardly Wanted. —We have had reS pea ted invitations to place our news- paper accounts in the hands of collec- tion agencies for collection, but there is no occasion -to do it. We have as clean a list as any paper in the'State. and nearly every subscriber is not only good for his account, but willing to pay, and.the last part is the best of it. Un willing patrons are not encouraging, We have added scores of names totour lists the past week* nearly all in Ge- neva and Seneca, and have assurances of more coming, -Wifh ah office on the ground floor it is ha,ndy for patrons to drop in. 'tea Interest When Due. Principal When Agreed. We have arranged to loan $12,50 per acre on 4300 acres or land in the fa- mous Red River Valley on the Minne- sota side. We can divide the loajos up to suit investors, $500, $1000, '$1500, $2000. Interest .5 per cent, payable semi-annually. Minnesota Loan & In- vestment Co. will guarantee the loans, and Geneva investors know all their loans are promptly and properly cared for. The soil where these loans will be is a rich, black loam about thirty inches deep, with a clay sub soil. No safer loans can be\ found anywhere. The land is worth $25 to $40 per acre. Address GEO. D. DAYTON, Pres., Worth ington, Minn, mr25w3 Change of Base.—On representation of Mr. Blaine of tbe Public Works Board, the Common Council has declared off that part of the proposed special tax calling for an appropriation and issue of bonds to the extent of $7,000 for en- largement of the water works. Mr. Blaine's reasons were that the city has nearly reached the debt limit, and: be- sides he believed that by borrowing the money on notes at four per cent, in- terest, they could be met by receipts from the water works in five years. City Attorney O'Brieh doubts the au- thority of the city to borrow money in this way, and he is unquestionably right. In our judgment if the city does not secure an increased water supply, there will be little use in getting in- creased Bre apparatus, with not enough water to supply it. —Rev. W. R, Pierce, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Naples, has - been granted a vacation of two months, and sailed for Liverpool to- day. He will visit the Holy Land. Mr. Pierce has been in poor health for a long time. —An exchange says: ' - A fence post stands in the town of Phelps, Ontario Co., set by John Foster 75 years ago. It appears as sound as the day it was placed in the ground. It is believed to be the oldest fence post in the United States. It is blue oak.\ —The dresses at a fashionable mod- iste's in Brooklyn were weighed the other day in order to determine the average weight of a woman's gown, Jet-trimmed reception dresses weighed from 34 to 49 pounds, and plain walk- ing dresses from 12 to 19. Nothing was found that weighed lets than 10 pounds, —The most populous street in the world is said to be that in New York, extending from Amsterdam to West End avenue, and from Sixty-first street to Sixty-second. Eight thousand,seven hundred human beings of 26 nationali- ties, of every race, color and creed, are huddled together in five and six story tenements. —A number of physicians of Syracuse have volunteered to serve the city with out cost as inspectors of the public schools, inspecting the{Eutidings daily with the view of guardingv«gainst the spread of diseases. This matter has been agitated in Syracuse, and the gen- eral view seems to be that it is desir- able. —Two farmers in Kansas traded children recently, one man giving a ten-year-old son and a load of corn for a thirteen-year old daughter, and the transaction was made a matter of re- cord in the county clerk's office. Both families are well-to-do aud the reason for the trade was that one had no sons and the other no daughters. —Last year the United States pro- duced 185.000 tons of beet sugar, an in crease of 108,000 tons over 1900. Forty- two factories were in operation last year, with nine in course of construc- tion. Factories have been established in 19 states. This is one of the most promising industries in the country and one of the most important. —A man residing in the state of Mis- souri, leaped from a moying railway train which was taking him to the matrimonial altar against his will. He made his escape all right for in striking the ground, his neck was broken. The question for debating clubs next season may be the preference between Jiving in an unpleasant union or, dying with a disagreeable fracture. —The Freshman class of Hobart Col- lege held a banquet at the New Knapp House in this village Saturday evening last, in which 35 members participated. There probably would have been the usual interference by the Sophomores had they learned the whereabouts of the Freshmen in time to have taken the last train from Geneva for this village. —Penn Yan Express. J —John Ammundson, of Porter,Mich, was doing some work about his barn and placed his vest containing a $2,000 note and $25 in bills on a nail. A calf with a keen appetite ate the note and paper .money. Upon the discoyery of his loss the calf was killed and enough of the money was found to \prove that it went that way, but no trace of the note could be discoyered, . —A JBoliver milliner one day last week received from Penn Yan a money order for $7 in payment of a millinery bill contracted eighteen years ago by a woman then a resident of Rich burg, The woman's explanation was that she had not been able to pay the bill he- fore, and that she was glad to be able to pay it, even after a lapse of eighteen years. —A preacher with a tendency, to* ward humor makes the following an- nouncement : \There is a new disease called 'morbus Sabbaticus,- It comes on. about 10 o'clock Sunday morning, when the first bell rings. It increases and rages the most part of church time The patient recovers sufficiently to eat a hearty dinner and read the papers. But it, comes on .again at 7 o'clock attd lasts during *$he evening. I should judge that many of you are suffering from occasional attacks.\ Obituary, ||Pew people in,_ Ontario County but? toaew-Major Frank Q; Cbamberlain^ well, _He died at his beautiful home on the banks of Canandaigua Lake last Friday morning. March • 21st, aged nearly 72 years. He has held many- offices of public trust, from Supervisor —yes, from path master to member .of assembly. He became Defter acquaint- ed with all the people through his con- nection with agricultural societies,three? years President of the County Society, and several years its Secretary. He was also Treasurer of-the State *Agri* cultural Societies for some years, He was foremost in everything that would advance the interest of Canandaigua and was one of the most whole-souled, genial men that ever lived. Jle is sur vived by his wife and three sons. Mrs. Mary Rosa, wife of Cornelius Rosa, died at their home on Lake street March 18th, aged 73 years. She was taken ill on Sunday evening, justas she was preparing for tea—a shock of some kind. Besides her husband she is survived by five sons and o^e daugh- ter, Jacob and John* of Weedsport, Capt. L, L Rosa. Capt. Fred, Wm. H.' and Mrs. Edgar Smith, all of Geneva. The funeral was held- from her late home on Thursday, the interment be- ing in Glen wood, her five\*sons bearing the casket containing the body of their dear one from the house to the hearse and to the^rave. It was the first time the whole family had been together in twenty-five years, although not widely separated. New York Centaal Excursion.

The time has come when Geneva must be provided with a hospital for contagious diseases. As the matter now stands, the cost of quarantine and guards is more than the cost of a hos- pital. Geneva has had no little experi- ence in this. There was a pest house once, with a good many cases of small pox treated one season, and th© total cost to the village of all of them was, as we remember, not over $300. True, some of the nurses were volunteers- one of them was John S. Dey. But now—the people have cause to tremble at the expense of even one case where the party has not abundant means to pay his own bills. Dr. McCarthy re- ported another light case here last .Wednesday, which is under safe quar- antine and isolated from the rest of the community. The victim is Albert East- man, and how he came to contract the disease is not known, unless from some one in Seneca Falls wheTe he was visit ing a few days before. ' The Taxes. —All last week up to the 21st the office of the City Treasurer was thronged by taxpayers. Friday was the closing day on whicb the taxes were received without any commission. The next day five per cent, was added to the tax. There remained unpaid about $17,000, and this is mainly divid- ed among tne owners of small homes. The large taxpayers have all paid up. There were strings of people in line from 9 a. m. until 3 p. m., awaiting their turn, with the City Treasurer and two assistants busy every minute. Tbe1 total tax \was $82,795,46, exclusive of the sprinkling and paving taxes. Mr. Flynn says that on the closing day the amount- paid in was something over $12,000. \ ' , TheyxWill Help.—A number of Ge- .neva's young meti have volunteered to subscribe $100 each toward rebuilding the Y. M. C. A., and this movement is spreading, It has been arranged so that the amounts may be paid in two years. It is probable that they will give notes for it, and arrange to pay in weekly, monthly or quarterly install- ments, while some man or men. of means will cash the notes at once or when the money is needed. This shows the active interest of all. The Trades Unions have taken the matter up, and each Union will contribute something, the Federation of Labor starting the ball with a contribution of $15. Every dollar helps now. It really looks en- couraging, and our citizens may expect to see the work begin early in April. Geneva's wealthy citizens will do their full share when the time comes; they are only waiting to see what interest will be aroused »in other quarters, and so fariit is very favorable. Low Fare. Excursion to Washington. D. C, via the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Tickets will be on sale March 28th, limited for return passage within ten days, for any train, except the Black Diamond Express, and will permit of stop-over at Philadelphia on return journey within time limit, upon deposit of ticket $9.90 for the round trip. Half fare for children. Consult Lehigh Val- ley agents for further particulars. Side, trips will be run from Washington to points of interest, ai a reasonable fare, for holders of these tickets. j£jp\TbeNew York HercM yesterday gires^ato inter view with Senator Piatt in Washington, iu which it is given out that Mr. Qdell is to be renominated, for Governor, bat that, Lieut. Governor Woodruff will step down and out. The ticket is to be of all new -names except Odell , It is hard to say just now on what lines Mr. Odell is to run.
