Washington, August 4, 1899. Secre
tary Root is showing his good sense by
puttiag in all his time familiarising
himself with the workings of the mam
moth busineas machine known as the
war department, leaving the routine
affairs of the department in the hands
of his capable subordinates until he
gets all the information he desires.
Every day since he was sworn in he
has spent consulting with the heads of
the various bureaus of the department
and he is already beginning to get hold
of the numerous threads of the depart
mental system. The talk about prob
able changes that he will make is idle
at this time. As he put it, "Better
wait until I know what is being done
before talking about changes."
That the war with Spain was a good
thing for the United States is conced
ed by most intelligent men, but Mr. D.
Demetriadas, an educated Greek
who has been eonneoted with our eon
sular service, at Constantinople, for
more than twenty-five years, and who
is now in Washington, says it was also
the best thing for Europe that has oo
curred in a long time. In explaining
he said : "The effects of that war are
more far-reaching probably than the
average American dreams of. It
brought good to Europe in this way:
It proved beyond doubt the potency of
the great American republic, and it
showed to the nations that America
had at last taken up a position as a
great world-power. Its force hitherto
has been latent. Now along with this
new conception of the Washington gov
ernment came a realization that hence
forth and forever the English-speaking
races would assume the dominant role
in the affairs of the world. England
has been regarded as isolated, but after
England acted as she did In your war
with Spain, it was clear that a bond
had been established that was of no
temporary character. This, then is
the great result of your triumph over
Spain ; the peace of Burope is put oo a
basis of almost absolute safety, and the
Anglo-American approaohment, whioh
was another result, means that fair
play shall exist between all nations,
and that English and American ideas
of civilization aad liberty shall be the
standard of the world."
Mr. J. R. Burton, the widely-known
Kansas lawyer, is in Washington on
business. He said of the sentiment of
his state: "Ninety per cent, of the
people of Kansas approve of the admin
istration's policy regarding the Philip
pines, and will stand by President Mc
Kinley in everything he does in line
with the doctrine of expsniion. The
democracy of our state is hopelessly
demoralized, and the intelligent ele-
ment of it will remain passive and In'
ert, seeing the futility of trying to cope
with the Bryan crowd and recognizing,
moreover, that republican success in
1900 is a foregone conclusion. I think
that Bryan will be renominated and
that Aguinaldo would be an excellent
choice for second place on the tloket
North of Mason and Dixon's line,
Colorado is the only state this tioket
can possibly carry, but, of course, it
would get big support among the
Tagals."
There is more or less alarm among
the timid in Washington because of
the existence of yellow fever at the
Soldiers' home at Hamton, Va., and in
the adjoining village of Phoebus, but
Surgeon General Sternberg of the
army, and Surgeon General Wyman,
of the marine hospital service, whose
combined forces are working in eon
cert against the disease, say there is
little danger of the disease spreading
beyond the infected districts.
The United States consul general to
Berlin has written an interesting offlc-
ial report of a contemplated change In
the consular system of Germany,
which indicates how wide-awake the
Germans are becoming in trade-getting.
The report says of the proposed
method of oonsuiar appointments:
"Young men, oarefully selected and
specially educated for service in a
designated field, will go out and pass
from clerks through the successive
grades to consul-general in that one
district, and as the final reward of
competent, faithful service will be re
called tor duty in the foreign office,
whioh will in time become a bureau of
experts, whose aggregate knowledge
will cover the whole realm of German
export trade. As has has already hap
pened in law, medioine, engineering
in nearly every field of applied science
the day of the all-around man, with
a smattering of many things, but a
thorough knowledge of nothing, is
definitely past, and the successes of
the future will be won by nations as
well as by Individuals who bring tha
highest attainments, the largest i x
perlence, and the most consummate
proflcienoy to bear where competition
is keenest and the richest prizes are to
be won."
Mrs. Curtis Bailey, who for over
eight weeks, has been confined to her
bed. passed away Wednesday morning
at 8 :40 o'clock, at the age of 87 years,
Mrs. Bailey's health was at first im
paired by the constant care and nurs
ing of her beloved husband, who for
more than eighteen months has been
confined to his bed and still lies at the
home wholly unconscious that his be
loved life companion has proceeded
him to the heavenly home but a few
days at the most. . .
Mrs. Bailey was born at Claredon,
N. Y., and came to Ohio early In life.
Mr. and Mrs. Bailey have been valua
ble residents of this place about forty
years.
Mrs. Bailey's funeral will be held at
the Congregational churoh, Friday, at
10 o'clock a. m., and Bev. Harding will
officiate. J
Services at the house will be strictly

Since the announcement of the death
of Robert G. Ingersoll, we are remind
ed of the fact that his father preached
at one time in Wellington. It was in
1836.
Rev. W. E. Barton in his address,
"Our Church Members," published in
the records of the proceedings of the
seventy-fifth anniversary of the Con
gregational Church gives an interest
ing fact concerning his preaching here.
In speaking of the "Old White Church"
he says, "That church was built in
1839, and almost as soon as erected, it
burnt to the ground. The father of
Robert G. Ingersoll was preaching in
it at the time, and it was thought that
his very lurid sermon might well have
set the place on fire. But he warned
the fleeing congregation not to be
afraid of the fire which was threaten
ing them and which was consuming
the church, but rather of that fire of
which he was preaching to them. '
The Ingersoll home was at that time
on West Lorain street In Oberlin.

Tuesday morning for their home.
It is not known how the young man
received his injuries as up to the time
of his departure he had not regained
his mind long enough to tell, but it is
the general belief that he was robbed
