Memorial Edition to Judflo Sampsell.
We need make no apology for
dedicating this week's edition of the
Post to the late ami much lamented
Hon. Henry Clay SampscU, of our
.Tmlii'iMi-v. His sudden and acci
dental deatli is a public calamity
that all citiens of Snyder county
are willing to admit, yea, sony to
confess. He was removed in a
twinkling of at' eye and without a
moment's warning. His character
and reputation were not only beyond
reproach but tiny are acknowledged
by all to be better than the average
citizen. His congenial, alVablc man
ner won the admiration and lauda
tion of all men and hence his demise
is universally regretted and lamented.
WAR DECREASES CIVIL CRIME.
In the very beginning of the war
tin-authorities of the cities were
astonished at the falling oil in petty
crimes and misdemeanors. These
small malefactions, it must Ik- known,
arc not committed by professional or
confirmed criminals, but by casual
idlers; by those who, having nothing
good to do, are impressed into the
service of bis oatanie Majesty. The
war. if it did not "give actual employ
ment to these casual idlers, gave all
of them something to think about.
It gave an interest to their lives.
And so the police magistrates found
in a little that more than half their
occupation was gone. 1 donot sug
gest that the unfortunates who usu
ally keep the police busy all went
into the army and navy. That was
the ca.'e by a grcaldcal. It is likely,
bid 1. Ili'::t the soldiers and sailors
who culMcd in this emergency were
the best of the best, lint the idlers
were, af-cr all, Americans, and in
the stirring times when d inns wl-e
bcatinj-, r'.lVs cracking sharply mid
great e.t;:r.o:.- bao.. ii'g in foreign
seas there was something else to do
Samuel II. Phillips, a meml)or of

thanks. . . .West Reaver, and, I have
no doubt, the whole county, regret
the death of our respected citizen,
Mr. Sampsell, our associate judge i
and the horrible death he met.

THE LATE MME. CARNOT.

for only $2,000 a year, and they left that
home with reluctance. Yet Madam
Carnot wus more than equal to her po
sition when phe became tho first lady
of the republic. She was deaf, but she
showed the arreatest tact and clever
ness In hiding this defect. She was an
admirable linguist and a good house

wonderfully preserved her youthful ap

warships Immediately from Manila to
a point as near the Chinese capital as
possible tor a warship to approach.
The vessels selected for the undertak
ing are the Hultlmore and the Petrel.
It Is expected that the Ilaltlmore will
not be able to get beyond the Taku
forts at the entrance of the Tang-He
river, upon which Pekln Is situated,
but tho Petrel, being of Bmaller pro
portions, may be able to reach Tlen
Tsln, KO miles above the mouth and
about the same distance below Tckln.
The olllcluls keenly regret that there
i is not now m th Asiatic a ngni
I draught gunboat of the Helena class,
which could ascend the river as fur
i as the Chinese capital.
Secretary Long said the sole pur
pose of ordering tho Hultlmore and the
Petrel to Chinese waters was to safe
guard American Interests and protect
life and .property of American citizens
In the event of an outbreak In the Interior.
