FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1901.

OF ONE of the most interesting acd few remaining "wilds" of America, the Jacksonville, Fla., Times-Union makes this important, if true, announcement: '•The Everglades will soon become one of the richest portions of a rapidly developing state that allows nothing to stand idle—a company has been chartered which will probably drain it by cutting a ship canal, and another incorporated to cross it with a railroad and telegraph line from the Gulf to the Atlantic. Therefore the visitor of a few years hence will find a new scenic route opened for hia exploration—leaving Jacksonville he can sweep across the state in a grand circle and return at his leisure to wonder how and why it was supposed the southern end oi our state was once considered uninhabitable, as well as uninhabited. We have already prophesied the existence of the greatest sugar plantation the world knows along a line of road from Miami to Tampa—it may be that some ucw living will see it."

DISCUSSION of Representative Babcock's idea of removing the tariff from all products of the steel trust, has brought out some interesting facts about the steel trade. It has been shown that big as the big trust is, it by no means controls the steel trade in this country, there being many establishments, some of them employing a large number of men, which have no connection with the trust. It seems to be generally admitted that the removal of the tariff on steel products would not injure the big trust to any marked extent, but it is claimed that it would necessitate an immediate reduction of wages in all steel establishments not in the trust. This claim, which is being made by those who ought to know whereof they speak, is causing many who were at first inclined to favor Mr. Babcock's idea, to entertain doubts of its wisdom, and if it be substantiated by unprejudiced investigation, which a number of members of the house are quietly making, the bill for the repeal of the tariff on steel products will not be supported by a corporal's guard of Republicans in either branch of congress, at the coming session. Desirable as many consider it to curb the power of the big trusts, the Republican majority in congress are not going to be stampeded into the support of anything of the sort, without carefully considering it from every point of view, and they will certainly not allow any legislation to get through that will reduce the wages of American workingmen.

JOSJSl'H FAll RAND TUTTLE.

Joseph Farrand Tuttle, for many years the president of Wabash college, is dead, and it is safe to say that the entire community sincerely mourns his loss. His mature life was passed in Crawfordsville in a most praiseworthy work, the positive iniluence of which for good no one will question. It meant much for Crawfordsville, for the state, and for the world. It was one of those lives whose iniluence is not bounded by corporate limits or state lines and whose usefulness forever goes on like the waves of the sea. Dr. Tuttle was a man who, while devoting himself to the uplifting of society thoroughly enjoyed life. He was happy in his work and was an ornament to society. He was a man who could smile amid erave difficulties, perplexities and trying troubles and his charm of manner betokening a kindly heart and intense humanity won for him many a victory where a heart less cheerful or a faith less firm would have met defeat. A man of pronounced prejudices he made no enemies for his likes were all for the good and his dislikes were all for the bad, and bad men respected even his denunciation. He was a diplomat who never compromised with evil yet who more often conquered it by persuasive sweetness and appeal to reason and self respect than by that aggressive force which often fails. He understood men and their weaknesses and by tem pering justice with a patient tolerance hie, in the discharge of his office, saved many a young man from the error into which he bad fallen. He builded great college here, but greater than that he builded many a human character. Judged by hia motive, which is the correct measure of a life, Dr. Tuttle was a great man. Judged by the results of his life he was a man p^cu liarly blessed. Asd through him the world was also blessed.

The Grand Old Man of Crawfordsville Passes Away.

For Thirty Years President of Wabash College— Sketch of Ills Long and Useful Life.

On Saturday afternoon at a quarter past four o'clock. Dr. Joseph Farrapd

"Age sat with dccent grace upon his visage. And worthily became his silver locks: He wore the marks of many years well spent,

Tuttle died at his home on College Hill. The end came as sleep comes, so quietly and peacefully that tbose about him could scarce believe that it was really death. On Sunday, June 2, Dr. Tuttle made his last appearance in public, attending the morning service at Center church, as was his wont. In the afternoon he complained of not feeling well and at night Dr. Ristine called, finding t.be Doctor suffering from an attack of heart failure. It was feared for a while that he might

die that night, but he rallied and was slightly better on Monday and Tuesday. From that time on. however, he lost ground and lay in a semi-comatose condition most of the time. Saturday morning he was perceptibly weaker and was aroused only once during the day—upon the arrival from Denver of his son, J. F. Tuttle, Jr., whom he recognized. After this he closed his eyes again in sleep and within a few hours, with not a sign of approaching dissolution, he passed into the sleep eternal.

The news of Dr. Tuttle's death was soon known all over the city, and upon heard words of prosincere expressions

every Siuo were found sorrow and

of sympathy for the one left desolate in the home. Perhaps no roan ever lived here with a wider circle of loving friends, and certainly no one in this community was ever more admired and respected by all classes and conditions of people. The prime ol his long and useful life was passed here and was zealously devoted to good works. His force, his ability, and his great humanity rendered this work of a mighty nower, and Waba~h college not alone stands as his monument, but also much of thac which is most beautiful and true in Crawfordsville life-

Joseph F. Tuttle was born in Bloomfield, New Jersey, March 12, 1818, his father being the Rev. Jacob Tuttie, a

Of virtue, truth well tried, and wise experience.'

Presbyterian minister of considerable repute in New Engiand. Joseph was a bright boy in the subscription schools which he attended, and from the time he was ten until he was fourteen years of age he was a student in the Newark academy. Before he was fifteen his father came as a Presbyterian missionary to the then sparsely settled state of Ohio, and Joseph, a stout and robust lad, was placed upon the farm of his uncle, a Mr.Ward, he having expressed a desire to become a farmer. He

showed such an aptitude and interest in hie work that at the end of his first year, he was made, although a mere boy of sixteen, the overseer of the farm, one of the finest in Ohio. There he passed two years more, happy and contented, and but for a little incident he might have passed the balance of his life as an Ohio farmer, it being his expressed ambition to become a large land owner. When he was eighteen years of age, however, an older brother, for whom he had always cherished a great love and admiration, came to his uncle's farm as a visitor. He had just completed his course at Princeton and was taking a abort vacation before entering upon a professional life

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

Scholarly, cultured, and brilliant, he impressed upon Joseph the fact that education had placed a gulf between them, a gulf which not all the rich, broad acres of Ohio could fill or bridge. Within a week the young farmer had changed his life's plans, and going to his parents expressed a wish to take the college course he had 3 before refused. In 1837 therefore we behold him a freshman at Marietta college, an institution then blest with such strong characters as Dr. Smith and Dr. Allen. The New Jersey freshman early impressed upon his instructors and fellow students his intellectual strength and the solidity of his character. Foremost in his class room work he was also leader in the Christian work of the institution, and his pleasing address and manly ways wrought an enduring work at Marietta In 1841 he was graduated, being the valedictorian of the class. While a student at-Marietta he decided upon the Christian ministry and determined to attend the Lane Theological Semi nary at Cincinnati, that institution at the time being under that very remarkable man, Dr. Lyman Beecher. After serving one year as a tutor at Marietta he began his studies at Lane and there easily ranked first in his class. During one of his vacations he visited ihis old home in New Jersey, and at Rockaway he met Miss Susan King, the daughter of Dr. BarnaVas King, a learned and able divine who had the distinction of serving in the pastorate at Rockaway for over fifty years. The pleasant acquaintance between the young divinity student and Miss King ripened into[a more interesting relationship and when he returned to Cincinnati frequentletters wore exchanged. In 1844 he was graduated at Lane, again with the honors of his class, and on October 1, 1845, was married to Miss King at Rockaway, N. J., the ceremony quietly occurring in the substantial brick home of Dr. King, a residence which still stands in the historic town. That same year the jyoung (minister was installed as pastor of the Presbyterian church at Delaware, 'Ohio, taking his bride with him to that then almost wild country. Two years of successful service were there passed and then Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle went to Rockaway where he became assistant pastor in Dr. King's church, soon dividing with that venerable divine the love of the people of the parish. For fifteen years he labored there, refusing [many calls to larger and more lucrative positions, and life was almost idealic. A beautiful New England town, a people substantial, cultured, and thoroughly devoted, a work established and easy to the hand of one so gifted as Joseph Farrand Tuttle. His Alma Mater in recognition of his distinguished work confered on him— first of her alumni to receive it—the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. The lines had fallen to him in pleasant places. In 1862, however, a call came to him out of the west. A struggling

little institution at Crawfordsville,Ind., poorly endowed and with a debt of over $10,000 needed for its president a man of strength, energy, and devotion, a man willing to make sacrifices and to bear burdens. There were surprise and sorrow at Rockaway when the giftei^ Dr. Tuttle decided it to be his duty to take up this arduous work. He was deaf to the alluring inducements made him by those who were determined to retain him in the east and to Crawfordsville, then a poor western village, he came to assume the direction of an institution rich only in embarassments.
