DIED, at her home, near Shepherds
! town, on the 10Th of May, 1893, Mrs.
REBECCA COLBERT.
To the world this is but common
| place announcements; but to some 1t
| is fraught with infinite meaning. To
| the many it is but an incident; to.a
| few it is an event of unutterable sor-
row. Death, to whomsoever it may
come, brings sadness to the bereaved
family; but that sadness sinks TO deep
er depths and that affection strikes
with an added force, double sting,
when the mother, the sweet counsel
lor in life. the nnerring guide of our
youth and the unfailing comfort and
! consolation of our mature years, Is
taken from Us.
And when the dear, sweet old moth
| er, whose life has been an unbroken
sacrifice, an unreserved devotion to
her children, is called TO her eternal
rest, only those have loved and lost a
mother can approach TO the burden
of grief with which the hearts of this
family are now afflicted. Remember
ing her in life, the wealth of her moth
er's love for them. and how insepara-
bly, intertwined were their lives in the
! GOd-given relation of mother and
child they realize that supreme af-
lection has been broken, a sacred bond
severed, an irreparable loss inflicted,
and what for so many years was TO
them tangible blessing and benedic-
ton, is now but hallowed recollec
ton.
Mrs. Colbert was one of natures best
creations. Her character was con
spicuous for its maternal qualities of
which her long life was beautiful il
lustration. Her great heart was filled
with human sympathy Her generous
hand was never withheld when chart
ty pleaded. In the lessons her daily
life taught her example was ennobling;
in the influence which her kindly, ge
NAL nature eXerted, sunshine took the
place of shadows; in her unWayering
devotion to those whom she gave to
the world, universal womanhoOd is
dignified, and in the wOmanly virtues
which shone in her life universal wo-
manhood is uplifted.
Patient and gentle in disposition,
kindly and sympathetic in all her i'm
pulses, honorable and conscientious
in principle, devoted to duty and the
right, her life is worthy of praise and
admiration. In the conservation of
herself to those she loved and for
whom alone she lived, is presented u
touching realization of the mother as
she conceived it, and in her dedica-
ton of self to it, more nearly APP
preaching the divine attribute than
is witnessed in every day life. And
the contemplation of it appeals for its
eloquence to that silence more ten.
der than words.
To her children her memory should
be a sacred heritage, n holy inspira-
ton, for if ever mother was loyal and
true TO her offspring, if ever mother
fulfilled her own highest conception
of mothers duty TO her children and
husband, that mother was Mrs. Col
bert
To them as true men and women
with an abiding sense of the great loss
they have sustained, can come only
feelings of reverence at the memories
her name inspires, and an emulation
of the noble character which her life
displayed. This tribute, as well de
served as it is rendered, is offered by
S. Y. \.

A Peculiar Chicago Incident.

In Chicago, on Friday last, while a
Mr.. Murray, young and fashionably
dressed man, was leaning upon the
showcase of cigar store in the Adams
Express building intently engaged in
writing a note, he was approached
from behind by Mr. James Bell, who
quickly cut off large portion of one
of his ears. Mr. Bell, it seems, retired
in good order with the piece of ear in
his grasp, while Mr. Murray, the vic
tim, quickly thrust the note into his
pocket, and also departed. Suisse
quently several messengers were dis
patched to Mr.. Bell by Mr.. Murray's
physician, with a request for the
immediate return of the segment of
ear belonging to his patient in order
that it might be replaced and induced
to reunite itself with the distigured
member. Mr.. Bell, however, was OBJ
durate, and instead of acceding to the
request cut the ear up into small bits
and threw the pieces away. The
charge against Murray is that he had
paid improper addresses to Mrs. Bell.
Murray's friends are unanimous in
defending his character, and condemn
Bells action.

LAST week we suggested that For
aker's mouth had gone off on vaca-
ton. Vain hope! The illustrious gov
ernor of Ohio is himself again, and is
after Judge Thurman, the Democrat
ic nominee for Vice-President. 1t is
a matter of common report, says For
aker, that Judge Thurman and all
his family carried delicacies to Con-
federate prisoners while locked up at
Camp Chase, three or four miles from
here, during the war" Judge Thur
man pleads guilty TO the charge, and
says: How tenderly do | remember
what a good Samaritan my wife was
in those days. Gov. Dennison and
Gov. Tod often spoke of the goodness
of Mrs. Thurman in distributing to
the sick, forlorn and captive ones fruit
and fresh things. Gov. Foraker does
not attack me when he mentions those
incidents. He attacks Mary" Gov
ernor Foraker would have allowed the
poor Confederates to starve, we reck-
on, before he would have been guilty
of such Observation-Disclosures.

The Richest Man in the World.

Claus Spreckles is the richest man
in the world. Spreckles resides in
San Francisco. Thirty years ago
Spreckles was working for $50 a
month. He is now worth 5000, 000 600,
which gives him S175 600, 900 III excess
of Jaw Gould. and $50, 900, 000in excess
of Vanderbilt His three sons are
worth $50. 1000. 900, total for the whole
family, 350,000,000. Spreckles has
single-h handed built up the Hawaiian
Island sugar trade under the reclp-
rocity treaty. Within ten years the
production there has increased from
10000 tons year to 10000 tons tor
the present year. AS the island pro
crossed so did the Spreckles family.
They raised sugar, then refined it,
making large profits out of each
transaction. They built large fleet
of sailing vessels for trading TO and
from Honolulu, finally building at
Cramps shipyards in Philadelphia,
two of the latest and best equipped
American steamers afloat. They have
since added two more steamers to
their fleet, each Of which is 1900 tons
burden exclusive of coaD, and have
extended their trade to Australia, now
holding contract with the Colonial
governments for carrying the mails
between San Francisco and Sydney.
They also control direct lines of sail
ing vessels with England, New York,
New South Wales, San Francisco and
San Diego. One of the numerous
plantations on the islands is ranked
as the largest and best equipped in
the world, turning out 10000 tons of
raw sugar in a year. They are now
engaged in the establishment of beet
sugar factories throughout California.

THE West Virginia Democrat, evident
ly intending TO Crush the REGISTER,
goes viciously for "small-fry editors, "
who have no more influence than
the shallow parrot" There was
time when Mason thought differently,
and was quite willing TO pay for the
influence of this paper as exerted by
its present editor. But he has had no
use for the REGISTER since he made
such an ignominious failure in his at
tempt to bride it in favor of his scheme
to saddle big debt on West Virginia.
That little plot of Mr.. Mason and his
Wall street friends didn't work, thanks
to the incorruptible press OF West
Virginia, and so that gentleman has
been soured ever since.

near here, Sunday, DR.. Wiley, APRON
inent physician, stripped his wife of
all her clothing and beat her unmer-

LEE II. MoLER.

WE take considerable pleasure in
complying with Captain Moler's re-
quest. The REGISTERS bid to the
County Court was this: For SO we
agreed to do the printing on similar
basis TO that of last year, understand
ing that it was to be about the same,
to be published as furnished by the
Clerk of the Court. According to
Capt. Moler, the bid of the Democrat
was for $75, with no conditions. Our
idea of business is that an uncondi-
tional bid is not much of bid. We
put in our bid in business shape; we
agreed to do the county printing in
the way we supposed the Court
wanted ii done; but at the same time
we did not desire to include in that
bid any or all job work that the Court
might have need of, hence we made
two other publishers did We agreed
topublish the proceedings as furnished
by the Clerk of the Court. Did the
Democrat agree to do more? The Com
missioners argued that our bid was
capable of being so interpreted that
if more printing was done more money
would be charged on the same ground
of reasoning, it was capable of being
interpreted that less money would be
charged if less printing was done.
There may have been a distinction
between the bids, but we fail to see
any difference.
But the attempt to furnish the in
formation of the Courts proceedings
to the people of the county through
the Democrat is dear at any price. AS
We have always understood the mat
ter, these proceedings are published
so that the taxpayers may know some
thing of the county affairs. This object
is not accomplished by giving the work
to one newspaper that has never even
claimed to be a local paper. 1t can
only be done by publishing in the
legitimate journals of the county,
that are read by the people of the
county. If the Court has no desire to
furnish the proceedings to the public,
then it may as we'll save the other $75
and publish none of it.
Concerning Capt. Moler's last re-
mark in the above letter, we truly
hope he may never be influenced from
his duty by the editor of the REGIS
TER-or by any one else.
