The Titanic disaster has touched the heart of the world more deeply than any incident of the last century. Nearly seventeen hundred jieople aboard the largest and finest steamer that ever proudly rode the waves,*embrace death one thousand miles from land in the middle of the ocean. There is no record in the annals of human kind that exemplifies nobler courage, nor more unsel fish self-sacrifice than was shown by the men who tenderly lifted the women and children passengers into the life-boats, tucked the covering around them, then smilingly bade them good-by. and awaited the cold grapple with death which they knew would come within an hour. Rich and poor died alike. American millionaires and Europ?n peasants stood still, as brother with brother, quietly, and went down uncomplaining together. The band gathered on the deck, and th» strains of "Autum" were lifted into the quiet starlit night. The giant ship settled, the magnifi cent floating palace sank out of sight, and the cold waters closed over all. No person with human sensibilities can long contemplate this tragedy of the sea with balanced reason. The agony of soul that j must have been theirs who witnessed the departure of wife, child, | sister, brother and father, and then turned to the gloom before ! them, can never be felt except by those who experienced it. Surely there must be some portentous spiritual meaning to this awful event. A giant ocean liner, built by its builders, so j they said, it could not sink, a tremenduous something which could defy the elements and all known dangers: with a vast company : aboard, revelling in all the conveniences, the luxuries, thegayeties j of modern civilization—bounding through the waves with all the immense energy of its immense engines. No thought of danger clouds the consciousness of the watchmen. No thought of danger mars the pleasures of the dance halls, the gleaming saloons, or the boisterous card tables. The regal $10,000,000 creation, the king of the ocean, cannot sink. But suddenly there is a : tremulous jar, and a stoppage of the engines. Then a hurried examination by the ship's officers, and then the command to launch the life boats. Before the startled passengers could fully realize the condition of things, the ship was sinking to it long home, carrying down in its whirlpool its cargo of human lives. The «ad and awful end of the Titanic may find a counterpart in the description of the night before Waterloo by Lord Byron : There was n sound of revelry by night. And Belgium's capital hinl gathered there j Her Beauty ami her Chivalry, and bright The lamps shone o'ver fair women ami brave uien: \ A thousand hearts beat happily: and when 1 Music arose with its voluptuous swell. ' Soft- eyes looked love to eyes which spake a train, Ami all went merry as a marriage-bell: H it hush ! hark ! :i deep sound strikes like a rising knell ! Did ye not hear It?—Xo: 't was but the \tlnd. or the car rattling o'er the stony street: tin with thedaure ! let joy be uneoiitiued: No sleep till morn, when Youth Ac Pleasure meet To chase the glowing Hours with living feet— l'.ut. hark ! —that heavy sound breaks in once more As if the eh aids itseeho would repeat: .vuil nearer, clearer.deadliet* than before !

And eaiiiiht its tone with Death's piophetic ear. Ah : then and there was hurrying to and fro. And gathering tears, and tremblings of distress. Ami cheek* nil pale, which but an hour ago j.lushed at the praise of their own loveliness: Ami there were sudden partings, such as press The life from out young hearts, and choking sighs u nich ne'er might be repeated: who could guess if ever more should meet those mutual eyes.

The sudden brightening in Illinois of the star of Roosevelt, which had been dimmed by the New York cloud, has greatly encouraged the overwhelming number of the ex-President's friends in Stokes. Illinois and Pennsylvania gave a great boost to the Roosevelt sentiment, not only in this county but all over the country. Who will ccme out the victor, cannot be said with but small degree of certainty by any politician. Some of the leading opinion as ex pressed by the great newspapers of the north is as follows : The Philadelphia Inquirer, Republican, says that "in spite of Illinois and Pennsylvania, New York's repudiation of Roosevelt makes his cause hopeless." The Washington Star, Independent, declares that "the Taft men are fighting the battle of Republicanism against Populism, and the chances are very largely in their favor." THE DANBURY REPORTER The Boston Advertiser, Republican, avers that "in spite of the Illinois victory, it looks as if the Roosevelt fight were hope less." The Philadelphia Public Ledger. Republican, and the New York Times, Ind. Dem., observe that the Republican situation is not changed by the Illinois primary. The Cleveland Leader, Rep., alleges that "the action of Illinois turns the tide. From this time o;i Col. Roosevelt's forces will go singing into battle." The New York Press, Prog. Rep., says neither Taft nor Roose velt can win, and calls for a compromise candidate. NEWS OF MEADOWS Death of Mr. Jas- B. Tilley On Wal nut Cove Route I—Personal1 —Personal and Other Items.
