REV, 7. J, WILLIAMS,

Rev. T. j. Williams, late Of Millington,
died in New Castle last Saturday, where he
had gone to attend the last session of the
Wilmington Conference. The remains
were brought to this town for intermcnt on
Tuesday, meeting in the NJ. +. Church at
III o'clock on the arrival of the morning
train, when the services were held and
largely attended by citizens Of this town,
Millington, his late home, and relatives
from distant places. The society of Masons,
of which body he was a member, acted as
bearers. The caskpt bore on it beautiful
wreaths, the work of loving hands. Presi-
ding Elder Hill had cnarge of the exercises.
After singing, and prayer 10y DIR. Caldwell
and the reading of scripture lesson by
DIR. Matlack, Rev. L. II. Haynes delivered
short but attentively listened to sermon
on the lesson of the TRANSPORTATION, "
Matt. 18th l, ., and 4 VS., the principal
line Of thought being on the recognition of
friends in Heaven.
lie was followed by the Rev. Matthew
Sorin, d. D., who spoke very tenderly of
the deceased, and of his loyalty to God
and the church. Rev. p. II. Rawlins then
read q biographical sketch more partic-
ularly giving the facts and circumstances
of his life and ministry. lie was the son
| of the Rev. EnOs l.. Williams who was the
pastor Of the church here in 1916. and it
was while residing here that the deceased
married Miss Sarah Enos, daughter of
the late Benjamin Enos of this place, who
now mourns his loss. Mr.. w. was licensed
to preach in 1851 in Wharton St, church,
Philadelphia where his father was then
pastor, travelling his first year on Greens
borough Circuit in company with Rev. 5.
w. Thomas. From the fact of his being a
married man he could not get admission
into the Conference at that time and he
ioined the Newark Conference in 1857,
leaving this Conference for Missouri in
1860, returning back to his original field OF
labor six years ago, and successively stationed
at Cambridge, Seaford and MillingtOn.
The deceased was SO years months old,
having served in the ministry for % years,
which has the remarkable coincidence ol
being Just the age his father lived, and
the number of years he preached the Cos.
pei. In addition to the ministers named
above who attended the funeral were the
following: Rev. J. Z. Bryan, @. w. Pretty
man, Wm. r. McFarlane. John Shilling,
|. N. Foreman +. II. Iynson. Rev. Mr.

The San Francisco Bulletin publishes an
interview with Gen. g. w. Legendre, for.
merly United States consul at Annoy, China,
in which he takes the ground that most of
the Chinese emigrants to the United States
come under contracts, made with the emf
grafton brokers, in evasion % the regula-
tions Of the Chinese authorities for the sup
preston of the coolie traffic; that to check
such immigration, which comes almost en-
tirely through Hong Kong, it is necessary
simply to contract the operations of the
Chinese emigration houses therein, to which
the British authorities would undoubtedly
be ready to lend their aid, and that a re-
vision Of the Burlngame treaty is not
necessarily involved in stopping such emf
grafton. IIe draws n strong picture of the
nefarious practice Of the Chinese emigration
brokers, whom he considers practically
little better than kidnappers.

Scion Chase, who made speeches in
every county in the State of Maine,
during the late campaign, addressed
a large audience at Cooper Union in
New York not long since. OF Mi.
Chase, the New York Sun says, Scion
looked like what he in truth is, a
PLAIN farmer. His boots we're inno-
cent of backing, his coat of jeans,
and he wore a broad brimmed felt hat /;
nevertheless his face was bright and
his eyes as sparkling and his manner as
free |; as if his life had been spent in
contact with the leading minds of a
great city metropolis. As he warns
to his subject his arms fly up, he
slaps his hands together, and as he
piles hit upon hit, and puts question
after question, his 1.-THE form not I'M
frequently assumes the aspect of an
interrogation point,
Scion was received with great APP
pla1se, and after expressing thanks,
went on to say that the campaign In
Maine had been no swapping of jack
knife's affair. 1t was not time spent
without profit. Something had been
made out of it. People had learned
that John Sherman's plan of resump-
ton was O plan for increasing the
purchasing power of money without
increasing its debt paying power.
That campaign in Maine has not stop
ped. 1t will go on as long as there is
any land left to plough, and there Is
plenty of land in Maine to be-
ploughed and we've the steers to
plough it with. [Laughterl.
Solon's greatest trouble seemed to
be John Sherman's idea of over-pro-
duction. ''Oyer-production of what!"
exclaimed the orator. Oftalkers and
editors of dailles and weeklics; of
fish in the sea OF birds in the air of
lawyers and doctors of ministers of
the gospel; of men out Of employ

tury down in Maine, and intend to
keep the mill agoing until the country
sees another deluge, with all the John
| Shermans in it outside the ark. Over
production, indeed! When did a
farmer get too good a crop? How
can there be over-production, with
consumption at home ard demand
abroad: No; it is not over-produc-
ton. The sting OF resumption has
another source. John Sherman has
squeezed too much pork into Il green

no longer worth the corn they eat

wants the greenbackecs TO stop, he
must stop squeezing so many igs ill.,
TO the dollar: when a farmer raises
hogs and gets nothing tor them. he
wants TO know what has become OF
his corn when the yearlin9 don't
