BRIEF MENTION. THE RAMBLERS PICKINGS. 1 il JLi.Lvy Perhis every person of mature age in the county will readily rocog nize the face of the venerable ex rrothonotary which appears In-low, for noone residing within it since itf erection in 1814 has filled a larger place in tlie eyes of its citizens, nor has Buy one within its border held for so long a period of time n public office. Mr. Westbrook was first elec ted Prothonotary in 18(5 and served two terms, in the fall of I8i:l he was ngain chosen and held the office for six years. After an absence of sever al years he returned to the county Rnd in 1875 was again honored by the eoile with an election and was con tinuously reflected un.il I8!!, thus serving eight terms in succession, making a total of thirty-six years in the office. During all that time his demeanor was that of a courteous and affable gentlemen anil he won hosts of friends who cherish for him the kindest regards. ccoococcoooecocc aeoccoee o o o o o o o o o o o JOHN C. WESTBROOK. o oooesooecoooceosoecoo It was, there 'oie, a cheerful com pany which assembled last Monday to pay their respect to him and his .estimable wife whose lives have run smoothly together for half a century Heaven has bounteously lengthened their days far beyond the allotted jeriodand although the companions of their youth have now nearly all gone over the dark river, the many warm greetings they received assure them that in the shadows which are dark ening their pathway stand many of a younger generation who bear them the greatest veneration. John Coobaugh d Jane Wells, Westbrook were married at Milford iJecember 30, 1850, at 6 o'clock a. in. by Rev. T. B. Hr-ulner, pastor of the Presbyterian churcn, and im mediately starteil on a wedding tour to Niagara by the old fash ioned stage coaches which then ran through Milford. With the ex ception of a few years they have always resided in the county and for the past thirty-five at the county wiit. Mr. Westbrook's life work has been done In the office and hun dreds of pages ot records and thous ands of papers bear silent testimony to the enre and neatness which was an unfailing trait in his publiccareer. His wife, who for several years has been an invalid, receives a lover like attention at the hands of her husband and bears her burdens with a cheerful spirit born of an amiable and equa nble disposition, and together they are traveling life's journey hand in hand as devoted to each ethers comfort and welfare as" whun the rising sun of youthful affection first gilded their pathway. May their years yet be many and happy. Those who partook of theabundant cheer on the occasion were M. C. Westbrook, of Blooming Grove; Hon. 1 Westbrook, of Sti-oud.-hurg, Mrs. Susan Grundin, a sister; C. F. Rock- well, of Honesdale, ex. Treasurer of Wayne county; Edgsr A.

Milligan, of Philadelphia, whine bus band, Jiidge Milligan, wrote a charm ing letter, from which we are per mitted to make the following extract: 'I am thinking how your minds will today revert to the past, and the won derful strides which have been made, Hi! tending to benellt, develop and give happiness to mankind. Afler fifty years of storm and sunshine as a loving 'larby and Joan' you stand to day as living wi ncsses to mankind that marriage is not a failure.

( ieoi g Win sor, for iniiny ye' t prominent minister in the M. E. church, pass ed away nt her home on Ann street last Sunday, Dec. 30. She was born in Milford Oct. 12, 1819. and was a d imrhter of Jesse and Mary, How. hanan, Olmstead, her father having come from Connecticut and her mother iieing a descendent of one of tho oldest families in this se ction. April 12, 18j:i she married Mr. Win sor, who was then stationed here, and after over forty years of itener nney with her husband they return ed in 1882 and located to spend their remaining days. Mr. Winm r died several years ago and their two children, Mary and Thomas are hot h deceased. One sister, Nancy who resided with her, survives. The funeral services conducted by Rev. C. E. Hnndder were held Wednesday, Jan. 2, from her late residence and interment in tho Milford cemetery. Tho following is contributed b.v a friend of the deceased 1 Mrs, Harrietta Winsor has left be. hind her tho evidences of a strong christian character. The elements that produced such a character aie known. The first fact that calls f,.r expression is, that she had christian training. Her mother was one of the orignnl six members of the M. E. church of this place. It is im possible to put too great emphasis 011 christian, homo training. Not ill who havo such opportunities, de velop such a character. True to her better nature, she yielded early in life to those gracious influences and Oceania n devoted christian. Again we pause Just long enough to em ph isize tho importance of an early christian life. "Ti ey that seek me early slia'l find mo." Another fact that calls for notice is, her marriage to a Methodist min ister in the days of small things. One who reads carefully the history of Methodist ministers, fifty years ago, wilt learn of a self- sacrificing life, little known to-day. Ho it said to the credit of Mrs. Winsor, that sho made the sacrifice and received the reward, namely, a well develop ed christian character. Again we notice the peculiar and trying ser vice that alio and every true minis tors wife, was called upon to render in those earlier days. The public eye is resting constantly upon the ministers family. A true wife feels keenly tno responsibility that con nects itself with her life. Thespirit in which she endures the reverses, the criticisms, and tho rejected love and sympathy of her heart, helps or hinders the cause ot Christ. In these trying experiences Mrs. Win sor was a ti ue help meet. Her life in the changing scones of the itiner ancy was 0110 of cheer. The sun light of love radiated from her soul and brightened many a clou led life. There Is but one more thing to be said. . .Such a life must be beautiful in age ntid have its end' in peace. Precious aro the memories that she leaves behind. Well beloved by nil who knew her, she remains in our thought for instruction, in our heart for inspiration, and her form yet re mains in our vision, pointing us to the life everlasting. The Press Almanac f jr 1901. Presidential year and census tak ing time offer unusual opportunities for an almanac and the advent of 0 new -century accentuates them. Jailged by the groat possibilities bo- fore, it "The Philadelphia PiTsS Al manac." for 1901, which is now ready, is invaluable; its pages must b consulted daily by the thoughtful man if he would appreciate in f ullest degree the happenings near a:id far which his paper brings to him. The wealth of facts and fancier, of sta tistics and records, contained in "The Press Almanac, illumine cur rent happenings as no other boi k can. It is un encyclopedia of the past year and a guide to the future. It contains everything which a work of its standard should. The 25 cents for which it can be secured from any newsdealer or by addressing "The Philadelphia Press" will yield 11 better return than any other in vestment which can be made in this, the opening year of the 20th century.

(From Our Kcmilnr Corrpspiinilont 1 Washinhtox, D. C, Deo. 31, litoo. President McKinley has been as sured ly Senator I law ley, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, that there would be no de- lay in putting the substitute for the House Army Reorganzation bill, pre pared by his committee, through the Senate as soon as Congress reassem bles. Senator Haw ley also expressed the opinion that an agreement would be speedily reached w ith the House w hen the bill was sent to Conference. The latter opinion is fully shared by Chairman Hull of the House Military Committee, who made a careful per sonal canvass of the Senate before the recess. Secretary Root Is naturally prerejudiced in favor of soinesections of the House bill, which was prepared by him or under his direction, but he says he will not stand in the way of legislation that is so urgently needed by opposing the substitute, or in any way raising obstacles to delay 'the passage of the bill just liccnusc It does not meet Ids personal views in all its details. He wants authority to enlist the men needed, and wants It as quickly ns possible, regardless of the law providing therefor. Mr. Charles H. Francis, Editor of the Troy, N. Y., Times, who is in Washington for the purpose of getting his commission and instructions ns I'. S. Minister to Greece, Roumnnia and Servia, is one of the few men who accept official posithin for senti mental reasons. In his words, "I have little ambition to hold public of fice further than the sentiment that attaches to occupying the same posi tion in the public service that my father had liefore me. I was with liiin in Eu rope during his diplomatic service ns his Secretary. A movement Is on foot and being vigorously pushed to have the Senate Inaugurate the 20th Century legisla tion by ratifying the treaty already favorably reported, which binds the I'. S. to a prohibition of the sale of intoxicants in Africa, between twen ty degrees north latitude and twenty two degrees south latitude, and to add a resolution inviting the nations of the world to join in protecting bar barian native races everywhere, on tin; first legislative day of the new century, Thursday 3rd. The move ment also includes the passage by the House, on the same day, of the Gillett bill prohibiting the sale of intoxicants or fire arms by. Americans to the natives of the New Hebrides islands, a traffic which England has already prohibit ed. The idea of this movement is to emphasize the attitude of the I". S. on progressive Christianity and mor al reform. Dr. L. 11. Hugbee, of New York, who is the almost exact double of President McKinley in appearance, came to Washington for the express purpose of seeing the man for whom he had so often Ihh:u mistaken. As the two men shook hands, the like ness was remarked by every one present. After the interview, which ws the first time Dr. Hugbee had' met the President, he said: "It is a great honor to lie like the President, but it is an awful annoyance to have people making the mistake all the time. In Washington, it is different from other cities. People do not Isither me here except to peer curi ously nt me as I sit in the hotel or walk on the streets. Occasionally they lift their hats in dignified sa lute, but rarely molest me. Several have approached me to ask favors, practical jokers having told them that I was the President. In other other cities,. especially if the Presi dent bapiH'iis to tie in the same place, I have much trouble. Once or twice the jsiliee had to almost rescue me from mobs of curiosity seekers. I guess I look more like the President's photographs than like the President himself." Secretary Root says the charges preferred against Col. Ib-island, Ad jutant General of the Army in China, in connection w ith an alleged com bination of officials to control the hemp out-put of the Philiippiues, by Maj. Hum kins,, who was di.-mis.sed f.-oiu the volunteer service by mak ing corrupt use of his toitioii, are unworthy of notice, that they place Hawkins in un ugly and uneviable position, if true, they show that he had tried to get into a corrupt com bination, and if untrue that he was
