Obituary.


MERCER.-On Tuesday. June is. the pure
soul OF Mrs. GEORGE a. MERCER returned to
It's Creator, and left her beautiful earthly
home desolate and stricken family with pallid
lips and aching hearts, hardly able to say,
Father, Thy will be done" To US it seems
unaccountAble that in the full bloom OF her
beauty and usefulness, with her darling chill
dren cllnging around her for comfort and
guidance, she should be snatChed away, but
God knows best.
Upon her were show cred all the gifts Of for
tune, great beauty, gentleness of disposition,
the art OF dressing tastefully as the flowers,
charming manners and - cultivated mind.
" hat more could fortune give?
Surely of her the poet must have thought
when he said of death:
''Whene'er he sees a smile too bright
Or heart too pure for faint of vice,
He bears it To the world of light
To dwell IN Paradise"
But few years since a gifted brother
passed away, and a little later the rarely
beautiful Mrs. Clay went over the river, the
beautiful river, with the 'boa'man pale"
Truly the angel of death could have spared
this cherished wife and mother many years
yet; but no, God had brighter things and
more delights for her.
She is wiser now than seer or sage of earth,
richer, because she pOSsesSeth Him who DOS
sesseth III things, happier being with the
Author OF Ali Happiness, safer because what
home Is like unto Jerusalem the golden,
clothed IN the garments of immortality, her
ears filled with the sweet songs of the re-
deemed, and knowing naught OF sorrow, save
the temporary separation from her loved ones
on earth.
The hearts of all are filed with sorrow for
the family crushed by her DEATH
Dead-did say?
She is not dead, she is within the door
Ihat shuts out loss and every hurtful thing:
With angels bright and loved ones gone be-
fore,
In the Redeemer's presence evermore,
And God Himself her Judge, Lord and King

TALLAHAssEEs CONVENTION.
The Committees Hard at Work-some of
the Changes.

the Changes.
TALLAHASSEE. FLA, June 20.-The
convention committees are working well.
The ApportiOnment Committee will rec
ommend a reduction IN the number Of
legislators. The Educational Committee
will advocate a subdivision of the counties
into school districts, and authorize each
district 10 collect a special tax for school
purposes. The Legislature viii be author
ized to make new counties under certain
conditions.
TIE CHANGES TO BE MADE.
Persons not acquainted with the laws
and government of Florida cannot appre-
ciate the great changes about 10 be made
in the constitution. In this state the
Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Legs
lature are elected by the people, and the
Governor appoints all the other officers,
including Cabinet, judges Of ali the
courts. county officers. and all other Off
cials named and recognized by the pres
ent constitution.
The power here vested in the Governor
is great and apt TO be abused, though it
has not been as vet TO any alarming eX-
tent. the people, becoming FESTIVE under
this state Of affairs, has called the conyen-
tIon now assembled 70 make such changes
as appear 10 them necessary for the we'll
being OF the people Of the entire state.
NO SECOND TERM IN SUCCESSION.
Among the changes proposed are
that the Governor shall not be
eligible for reelection to the next sue
ceeding term; that Judges shall be elect
ed: that county officers shall be elected
BY the voters OF the respective counties;
that some Of the Cabinet offices shall be
abolished and the remainder made
elective; that the Office Of Lieutenant
Governor shall be abolished, and that ed
ucati0n should be encouraged and crime
more surely suppressed by improving the
present jury system.
The changes proposed are important
and the multitude Of means suggested for
accom- lishing these changes makes the
work more delicate and srdu0us.
ALL THE STATE AROUSED.
The eyes OF the people of the whole State
are watching the proceedings of the con-
ventiOn. The responsibility these dele
gates feel resting upon them may be the
cause Of the deliberatiOn with which they
adjourn from day to day.
The proposition to abolish the office of
Lieutenant Governor in this State is very
properly attracting considerable discus
sion. The Office is Insignificant only in
the salary attached TO il. The benefit the
State and people derive from the proper
performance of the duties Of this Office
greatly exceed the burden it imposes in
the shape of salary or the inconvenience
and expense incurred in electing this Of
ficer. The proposition to make the Gov
ernOr Ineligible to i'm mediate reelection is
favored by many delegates because il re-
moves temptation from that officer in the
way Of fayOring those who might assist
in securing his reelection. The idea Of
consolidating some of the Cabinet offices
also seems TO meet with favor.
Delegate Mckennon lost everything by
the burning of his residence at DeFuniak
last night.

used counterfeit revenue stamps on his
barrels. A wagon found ready loaded
held 81 quarter barrels, each one stamped
with bogus 2j-cent stamp. In the cellar
of the brewery $50 more barrels were found
bearing false stamps. About 900 bad
stamps Were found in the desk
in the office. The property seized is
valued at 100000. Later in the day
Loewer was held for examination in
$1,000. 1t was said that LoeWer, who has
been in trouble before on charges OF using
washed stamps, bought counterfeit
stamps at the rate Of $4,000 for $50.

One failing we women have is a willing
ness to worry along without proper utensils
20 do our work with. We go on lifting the
heavy iron pot to boil half-dozen potatoes
in when three-Gplart granite kettle or even
q cheap tin one would be so handy. We do
without the extra broom for the best car
pets, and this is piece of poor economy; We
lack good sharp lnife cutting Ineat. little
one TO pare vegeta Dles with, boiler for oat-
meal, a carpet-swseper; there is a scantineSs
of clothes-pins, no skirt board for ironing
dresses, and so on. This lack makes the
work a third more Irksome. No man would
blunder along so. But he is master Of his
pocket-book, some woman says, still, We
think by giving thought to the subject she
could get the desired articles, because really
these things do not cost much. The usual
kind of hired girl will not do without the
conveniences which her employer has denied
herself, and it is better 70 have the conven-
lent utensils and then dis2e with the help
il possible. As unskilled as the girls for
homework are now, they often largely in
crease the nervous wear of housekeeping
A good carpet-sweeper is great help, but
be sure it is good one before you buy it; OF
course, it will not dig out all the corners or
perfectly sweep the room without the aid Of
a broom, but by sweeping a sitting
about the edges and corners once a week
thoroughly with a broom and finishing it of
with the carpet-sweeper to take up the dust,
you keep It neat the rest of the time by q
daily use Of the sweeper and without raising
dust. The threads from your sewing, the
seed and feathers from the bird cage, and
the children's litter all vanish without your
having t. stoop once to the floor.
