Cary Says He Was a Man of Refinement and Culture. The suicide of Harry Falkenau who was well acquainted in many parts of the county.

has caused a shock among his many friends and Mrs. Fannie B. Cary in a letter to the News Palladium tells of the man's character, the writer believing that Mr. Falkenan committed suicide while in 11 fit of insanity brought OD by insomnia. Mrs.

Cary writes: "During last summer many happy days were spent by myself and daugh at the beautiful farm home ci Mr. and Mrs. Harry Falkenau, near Coloma. I am shocked and grieved beyond words over the horrible act of Mr. Falkenan as stated in last nigat's paper.

That there could have been domestic trouble in a home that seemed to me ideal, I cannot believe. In this home of plenty, where the at nosphere spoke of high thought, loving tenderness and consideration, and where hundreds of the choicest of books, many of them gifts of the authors, rare pictures and one. of the finest libraries of musical scores that has ever been my pleasure to examine, testified to the high culture and taste of two people, who were both very talented musicians and linguist. Mrs. Falkenan being a very fine pianist and Mr.

Falkenau a splen did violinist. Mr. Falkenau was a Cornell uni versity man, was a personal friend of Walt Whitman, he was too thoroughly imbued with the great lessons taught: by this grand old man to ever have committed such 81 terrible act. except through a sudden spasm of I had secured from Mr. and Mrs.

Falkenan a promise to assist in concert later, for benefit of the hos. pital and I looked forward with much pleasure 10 bringing these talented people into closer touch with the literary and musical life of Benton Harbor.

This first Boston meeting house, erected in 1632, was constructed at a time when the church and the town were one and the same thing. In 1639, when a larger edifice was demanded by the growing congregation, a new meeting house was erected on the site of the present Rogers building, and the cost of this second structure was defrayed by weekly contributions of the church. This second meeting house was home of the first church was linmediately of this third but was main JANUARY CLEARING SALE OF HIGH GRADE BROAD GAUGE GROUND FLOOR FIRE INSURANCE In placing my fall orders I "dipped in" a trifle too deep for a new beginner.

The 11 ordinance proposes that the number of saloons shall remain at and never lacreased until there shail he people to ever saloon. The liquor dealers in their meeting Monday morning came to the conclus that the clause providing for the ion revocation of licenses would or could be abused and. in many might work 3 hard hip saloonkeepers anxious to obey the laws, one dealer 11 speaking of the subject said: certain officer mischt have it 1.1 fo me' and would wateh 11s chance entel for technical violation.

The saloonkeepers in discussing the matter of a $1,000 license say that. if the number of places is to be cut down they understand the amount of the license fee should be increased. Under the circumstances, however, they argue it would not be fair. The sudden change of front on the part of the saloon men will have 2 tendency to mix matters up some what. The fire and police commission has already golfe on record as in favor of the original bill.

J. J. Knight the president of the board, is especial ly favorable to the $1,000 license fee, and also to the matter of revoking licenses for cause. The Original.

It was computed that as much as $1.200,000 was lodged with them and they stowed the money away in petroleum tins, soap boxes and flower pots and diminished it by the interest, which was met for some time.

For years Mr. Falkenan had been troubled with insomnia, thus his reas. on for choosing a quiet home in the country. I heard him state that he never secured more than two hours sleep during a night, ani more often not more than a half hour. Mrs.

Falkenan is one of the most charming and refined of women, and it seems to me cruel for her to have to bear the added paia of thoughtless and ignorant gossip. It is Victor Falkenau, 3 brother, who owns a summer home near the Edick and Burridge farms east of this who is the well known Chicago contractor, instead of the late Harry Falkenan. Literary and musical matters occupied the time until the last two years. when his farm claimed his attention. STORY BY LINCOLN'S FRIEND Old Friend Knew President Would See Him.

In the February number of The American Magazine Ida M. Tarbell reports an extraordinary account of Abraham Lincoln given her by a Springfield man who knew the president intimately for years. Miss Tarbell permits the man to. tell his story in his own simple way--without interruption. Here is a part of the report of a trip to Washington to Set he' president: "Well.

I had a brother in Washington, clerk in a department--awful set up cause he had an office--and when got down there I told him I had come to visit Mr. Lincoln. He be. you fool? Folks don't visit the president of the United States without an invitation, and he's too busy to see anybody but the very biggest people in this administration. Why, he don't even see he says.

Well, it made me huffy to hear him talk. I says, I don't wonder Mr. Lincoln don't see you. but it's different with me. Him and me is he says, 'you've got to have cards says, what for? What he says, cards--with your name Wed.

I says, 'It's come to a pretty bass if all old friend like me can't see Mr. Lincoln without sendia' him niece of pasteboard. I'd be ashamed to do such a thing. Isaac Brows Do you suppose he's forgotten me? Needs; to see my. name printed out to know who I am? You can't make me believe any such and I walled right out of the room.

and that night I footed it up to the Soldier's Home where Mr. Lincoln was livin' then. right among the sick soldiers in their tents. was lots of people, settin' around in a little room. waitin' fer him, but there wasn't anybody there I knowed, and I was feelin' 8 little funny when a door opened and out came little John Nicola; He came from down this way, so I just went up and says, you do, John: where's Mr.

Lincoln? Well. Jelm didn't seem over glad to see me. 'Have you an appointment with Mr. he says. 'No, I says; ain't, and it ain't necessary.

Mebbe it's all right and fitting for them as wants postoffices to have appointments, but reckon Mr. Lincoln's old friends don't need 'em, so you jist trot along, Johnnie and tell him Billy Brown's down here and gee what he says. Well he kind a flushed up and set his lips together, but he knowed me, and so he went off. In abont two minutes the dor popped open and out came Mr. Lincoln, his face all lit up.

He saw me first thing, be laid holt of me and just shook my hands fit to kill. he says, 'now I ain glad to see you. Come right in. You're goin' to stay to supper with Mary and me. "Didn't know it? Think bein' president would change him--not A The Best Laxative for Children.
