LECTURE ON OPTICS.
MIR. g. f. BOwIes Takes the
Course.

q. F. Bowles, the optician, left
on Monday for Cleveland, Ohio, to
attend a weeks course of lectures
on Optics and the Eye, by the cele-
brated DR.. Julius King, who is an
authority as an optician. The
course of lectures embraces the
practical methods of correcting the
different errors of refraction,
known as presbyopia, myopia, as
tignatiem and hypermetropia also
full discussions of the anatomy and
physiology of the eye, the theory of
light and colors and tests for color
blindness, fully illustrated by
charts, diagrams, models, etc. Mr..
Bowles attends these lectures to
perfect himself in his chosen pro.
fession. His record for four years
past in our city has beer excel
lent and he is already recognized
as an expert in the work as an
optician. With commendable spirit
he proposes to leave nothing in his
line that he does uot understand,
and this course of lectures is an
other step in perfecting himself.

Practical Work.

We commend the plan adopted
by Mrs. J. A. Smith for distribut-
ing FREEMAN subscriptions in the
First District.
She writes us, "For the enclosed
two dollars send the FREEMAN to
four women, six months each, in
the lower counties of my district,
who will agree to try and organize
Unions end help on the Amend
ment work in their communities" "
This is practical, helping our
own work as we'll as sustaining our
organ.
Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Sisson, the
Roney's Point Union, Mrs. J. M.
Porter, Mrs Mary e. Hutchinson Of
Henderson, are among the last who
have thus sent subscriptions for
the work Of evangelizing the State
in the gospel of Prohibition.

Resolutions of Coincidence.

In the province of God we are called upon
to mourn the death of Brother VIM. h.
Friar
Death is one event that comes to every
nary evils man may, in the Providence Of
God, escape. In this conflict, however,
there is no escape. There is no departure
to a higher divine life, but through the gate
OF death. "All men must die" Neither
tears of anguish nor breaking heartstrings
can avail anything when the fatal summon
comes. And when all has been done that
love can prompt or science devise, and the
dear friend has passed from our presence,
all that remains for US to do fs to bow before
for our departed brother, we mourn not as
those who have no consolation. He was an
earnest and consistent Christian, and the
cause of temperance has lost a devoted and
active Iaborer. He was man of amiable
and 10 vable disposition, and much respect
ed by all who knew him. true citizen. q
kind'and devoted husband, an affectionate
father.
"Though time will wear us, and we must
grow old,
Such men are not forgot as soon as cold;
Their fragrant memory will outlast their
tomb,
Emhalmed forever in its own perfume.
Therefore, Resolved, That while we mourn
his departure fr' m us, we Will earnestly
strive to emulate his many virtues; and that
we extend our heartfelt sympathies TO his
bereaved relatives.
Resolved, That the charter of Independ-
en- CO Lodge, No. So, l. o. g, t., be draped in
mourning, and th g members wear an appro-
pirate badge for thirty days.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread
upon the records of this Lodge, and that
copy be furnished to the relatives of the de-
ceased, and to the papers of the city for
publication.
Respectfully submitted in F. He.

Mrs. Elizabeth Griffin, who lived
in scantily furnished room in the
lower part of our city, died of con.
sumption on Sunday morning,
leaving a bright little 5-year old
daughter, all alone in the world.
A number of our warm.hearted

lonely "Alberta Mona Griffin" was
given into the care and guardian
ship of Mrs. Rev. J. w. Carter.

the sick mother, and during her

care for her child and secure for it
a good and safe home. Mrs. Carter
was also asked by the authorities
to gather the little household eff.

child's benefit.

Tribute from His Own
Church Paper.

In former issue We gave the
dispatch announcing the death Of
DR.. Warner. He was 30 well known
in West Virginia that the sad news
called forth general notice and
comment by the press throughout
the State. He was the acknowl-
edged leader in the West Virginia
U, B. Conference, to the interests Of
which he devoted his lite work.
He was bold and fearless advocate
of Prohibition, and was at the
head and front of the movement for
constitutional Prohibition in our
State, and spent nearly all of one
year, travelling and lecturing un-
der the auspices of the State Com.
mittee, organizing the counties in
work for the Amendment, which
has at last been submitted to the
people. During this year he visit
ed every county in the State and
did most effectual work for the
cause.
Although formerly an ardent
Republican, in later years of his
burning zeal and interest for the
cause, he became more and more
convinced that there must be a
readjustment of party lines and re-
organization of parties, before the
ubiquitous saloon power can be ef-
fectually overthrown.
DR.. Warner was a staunch friend
of the FREEMAN through all the
years of it's struggle in favor of
West Virginia Homes, and with
sad heart we join with all our read
ers in paying tribute to his mem
DRY.
The following memorial we take
from the Religious Telescope:

Rev. z. Warner, ID. d.

Death always brings to US a
feeling of sadness, but when it
comes in unexpected suddenness we
stand bewildered at its wrecking.
Bro. Warner is dead. He fell
asleep on the night of Tuesday, the
Oath of January, at Gibbon, Neb-
raska. His son from st. Joseph,
Mo-, and his wife reached him in
time to spend the last few days of
his life with him. On Friday his
remains were buried at Wathena,
Kansas, where Mrs. Warner has
kindred residing.
Rev. Zebedee Warner Was born
in Pendleton county, West Vir-
ginia, February 28th, 1888, and
was in his fifty-ifth year. He was
converted at the age of seventeen,
and soon joined the United Breth-
rem Church. For some years he

county, West Va, Parkersburg
Conference was organized from the
Western portion of old Virginia
Conference, as directed by the Gen.
eral Conference of 1857. In Par
kersburg Conference he continued
TO labor as a pastor until 1852.
From 1852 to 1869 he served as
presiding elder. From 1869 to 1880
he was stationed in Parkersburg,
and from 1880 to 1885 he continued
to serve as presiding elder.
He was a member of the first

at Westerville, Ohio, being elected
seven times to represent his con.
ference. Since 1858 he has been

Died, Nov 9TH. Sallie Gilbert,
wife of w. II. Butt, Esq, in the goth
year of her age.
These sad lines tell she story of
life ended which but recently was
full of promise and which. like rose,
was born to bloom in sweetness and
presently, to die away leaving only
its fragrant exhalations to commem-
crate it's former existence.
But one year ago we stood amid
the lively group that witnessed her
nuptuals and heard the blessings
asked by Gods minister upon her in
pronouncing the twain as Of one
flesh, To-day we pay a last sad
tribute to her precious memory.
Well might the Psalmist have ex-
claimed, $50 teach US to NUMBER
OUR DAYS that we may apply our
hearts unto WISDOM" for, who can
estimate life or tell it's measure.
Though young, the deceased had
established character which was
all engraven with the signet of virtue
holy, pure, divine dwelt in the heart
and shone out in the beautiful life
she lead like diamonds in golden
circulets. Happy, full of cheer, she
ever exemplified the truth of the
declaration: Life is what we make
it," Hope and faith were the cardi-
nal virtues in her existence and in
their practice she was almost singu-
lar. In church, at home, amid the
social SiEc and in all the walks Of
her devoted life she made herself
essential. On loving ministries, to
and fro, she was ever want to 90 to
hear the burdens Of those pressed
with care and weighted by trouble
Her faith in God made her equal to
occasion and even in the hour of
death was it her strong support.
Ripe for the kingdom Of Glory, she
has been taken to join the celestial
hosts in songs more charming than
the many melodies in which she so
delightfully."- mingled her voice while
living and which will enchain forever
as listeners the happy inmates OF her
heavenly home. Our loss is her
gain. May N )ther, husband, sister,
brother and friends appreciate the
fact and may it enable them to bear
with humble submission the rod that
seems to chasten.

The election is over and with the
results thereof, whether good or bad,
we must satisfy ourselves. Submits
sion is, at times, beautiful trait in
public as we'll as private character
and often necessary to our best in
terests however varied they may be.
The very ground work of all our
public institutions is in the wish of
the people freely and openly ex-
pressed at the ballot box. and when
they speak, though it be in thunder
tones even to the producing of tremb
ling amid the vanquished, we should
remember the moral idea, to act
upon it, "Vox populi vox Del"

IT is conceived by the most SAN
guine Republicans that Skinner is
elected over White for Congress by
an CREASED majority.
This is signal victory. White
was, by all odds, the very strongest
man in the republican party of this
District. His canvass of the district
has been unexpectedly vigorous and
his LARGE defeat is, therefore, a sur
prise to his friends and supporters.
