Obituary.

Yesterday afternoon the remains of Mr..
VIM. I. Jones were laid in their last resting
place by the side of his first wife and five
children who have passed on before, in the
beautiful little cemetery beside the sea, on
Peaks Island, followed by very large num-
Der OF mourning friends and acquaintance.
MIR. Jones death was sudden. He came up
to the city Friday and appeared in his US
ual health. After his return home he COM
planned of feeling unwell and his wife attend
ed him for several hours when she left for
little rest. At 3 o'clock in the morning she
went to his room again and found him dead
Heart disease is supposed to have been the
cause.
Mr.. Jones was born in Portsmouth n H.
April Is, 1918. At very early age he Was
left an orphan, and at the age of ~ years he
went to Boston to make his way in the world,
where he was found by Capt. James Bracket,
who was then running packet between here
and Boston. Finding that he was a very
bright, intelligent lad, Capt. Bracket brought
him home with him to Peaks Island, where
the most of his life has since been spent. Sub
sequently Capt Bracket married sister of
Mr.. Jones'
Early IN life Mr.. Jones learned the trade of
acooper, land passed several winters subsequent
to 1850 on the island of Cuba at work at his
trade. He was man of marked ability and
had he had the advantage of liberal education
when he was young would undoubtedly have
made wider mark in the world than the
narrow limits of his island home afforded.
His mind was always active in some scheme
for the public good. He was the first man to
ship Holsters from this city, since which large
and lucrative business in that trade has grown
up. He was also the originator of the Peaks
Island Steamboat Co., in which he was large
stakeholder, and had the Express built in Phil
adelphia in 1871 for this line in accordance
with his own plans.
AS place of resort in the summer Peaks
Island is indebted to him more than to any
other man for the large patronage it now
enjoys In any benevolent and charitable
project he was always one of the foremost
and at the time of his death was maturing
plans for an insurance company and a marine
railway on the island.
Mr.. Jones had two brothers and three sisters
all of whom have been dead many years. He
leaves widow, three sons and two daughters
The funeral services were conducted in very
impressive manner by the Rev. Mr.. Adams of
the Methodist church appropriate music being
furnished by Shaw's quartette; after which
the remains were taken charge of by deputa-
tion of Odd Fellows from Maine Lodge, of
which deceased was member, and laid in the
grave under the beautiful and solemn rites of
the order. A kind husband and father and a
good citizen has gone to rest.

NEW PUZZLE WITH WORDS.

Students at the Institute of Tech
nology have designed rival to the
Gem puzzle, which is beginning to ex-
cite considerable interest about town.
Given two words of an equal number
of letters, the problem is to change one
letter at time of the first so as to
make legitimate English word, con-
tanning the alterations until the de-
sired result is attained The conditions
are that only one letter shall be altered
to form each new word, and that none
but words that can be found in Eng
lish dictionaries shall be used. Here
are some examples of the changes:
East to West-East, vast, vest,
West.
Boot to Shoe-Boot, SCOT, shot, Shoe.
Dog to Cat-Dog, dig, fig, fit, fat,
Cat.
MILK to Hash-Milk, mile, male,
mate. hate, hath, Hash.
Road to RaaI-Road, rood, root,
coot, coat, coal, coil, toll, tail, Rail.
Soup to Ftsh-Soup, soul, foil, toll,
foil, fowl, fool, foot, coot, cost, cast,
fast, fist, Fish.
The game is becoming quite popu-
lar in railroad officers, as well as in
family circles and at firesides, and
seems to furnish instruction with
amusement.

TORY AND LIBERAL.

A Tribune subscriber asks the favor
of an explanation of the terms "Tory"
and Liberal" as applied to the polit-
ical parties in England. The word
4Tory" was derived from term ap-
piled as Roger North says, to 'the
most despicable savages among the
wild Irish;" and was first used in 1919
during the struggle for the exclusion
of the Duke of York from the line of
succession, the name being given to
the followers of the Duke because he
favored the Irishmen. Johnson's def
lnition of tory was this: Zone who
adheres to the ancient Constitution OF
the State and the apostolical hierarchy
of the Church of England" The word
"Whig" is contraction of "Whigga-
MORE" which in the South of Scotland
used to denote drover In 1884, a
party of Covenanters attacked Edin-
burg, and after this "Whiggamore's
campaign" the word was taken up as
term of reproach and applied to the
opponents of the Court. Since the
passage of the Reform Measure of this
century the political successors OF the
two parties have been known as Con
servatives" and Liberals"

From his recent Speech at Hawarden.
Taking the case of these three men,

newspaper this morning another case
of three members of a family (hear,

subject of very clever epigram, which

known as great producers of the valu-
able commodity termed beer. (Laugh-
teri They have not been altogether
fortunate in the elections, and the last
of them is an opponent of my eldest
son in East Worcestershire, which
gives me particular interest in these

One came to grief at Droitwich-
Then there were two.
Two jolly Allsopps
