Obituary.


DlD.-At her home in Waltham, Feb. %
Mary. wife Of Timothy Sullivan, aged 4S
years. She leaves a grief stricken husband
and nine children to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Sullivan was quiet, unassuming
person, but underneath this quiet exterior
was q character of sterling moral worth
She was firm friend, an obliging neighbor,
a fond mother and true and faithful wife
Death had no terrors for this noble, Chris
tian woman, and her dying words were
those of wise counsel to her husband and
children.
Though far away from those near of kin
she was tenderly cared for by kind hus.
band and good neighbors, and she will be
long remembered by her many friends.
May the memory of this patient, self.
sacrificing mother abide with her children,
and influence them for good in this world.
Her acts revealed her spirits worth,
In God she put her trust,
For others lived, and left to earth
The memory OF the just.

Gum on Sewerage,

Gum on Sewerage.
1t was perhaps the smallest audience that
has greeted lecturer in this city for many
moon, that gathered in the Supervisors
room on Monday evening last, to listen to a
discourse upon the Illinois & Michigan
canal, by NJ w. Gum, of La Sale. II noses
had been counted there would have been
about twenty-five responses to the role call.
Nevertheless, the speaker did not appear to
be discouraged, but warmed up to his sub
ject and spoke with as much enthusiasm as
though he had been addressing 500 people
His theory, in substance and fact, is not a
new one, but has been in practice in Paris,
London, Berlin, and smaller cities of the old
world for many years, and consists of no
less than the utilization of the sewage Of
cities as fertilizer upon farming lands.
In London, where the water closet has
supplanted the cess pool, and all sewage is
carried out Of the city in a covered drain
forty miles IN length, tn. death rate has
decreased from 53 in 900 in one district to
l3 in 900, and for the whole of London 10
% IN | 200 Chicago, a smaller city, with
its horrible cess pools and murky river,
claims death rate Of SS in 1000
The only way to prevent this valley from
becoming hot bed Of disease and death
would be to pump the water of the canal and
river upon the farming lands, and allow the
sediment to settle upon the earth, making It
harmless and giving the soil much needed
element. OF course, an apparatus for.pump-
ing this sewage upon the land would cost a
great deal of money, but its returns In health
and the increased production Of the land,
would more than repay every dollar invested
in five years.
Such system is now in operation near
London, where her sewage is carried forty
miles through covered main, to the barren
sands of Essex, where it 90 enriches the soil
that it is the heaviest producer in England

whose sewage is the agent Of
producing eighty tons of meadow hay to the
acre; Berlin, where the sewage fertilizes
the finest market garden in the world; and
Paris, hose sewage enriches 1000 acres of
barren lands.
La Sale county, and the land along the
river and the canal, have brilliant chance
to increase the value Of river and canal lands
ten fold at a small expense, aud must do It
for their own preservation.
Mr.. Gum, discouraged by the small at
tendance, decided not to attempt to attract a
crowd on Tuesday evening, and thus did not
finish his course, which would have shown
his method Of sewage distribution.

Spring Stock Here,

The spring stock is now being rapidly op.
ened at II j. Gillen's-in fact, large part Of
1t Is now open and ready for public inspec-
tion. The stock is early by 50 days at least,
for the special benefit Of early buyers of
spring goods, as on these goods special in
ducements will be held out for cash buyers
during the next 30 days-for the month prior
to the real opening of spring trade.
We have not space to give full notice OF
the arrivals, but can say that while all depart
ments are full of new goods, special notice
will be taken OF the new lines Of dress goods,
white goods, hosiery, and boots and shoes; in
which lines no finer or cheaper stock was
ever shown here at this season Of the year.
The carpet trade has opened with genuine
boom and already the sales have been very
large and contracts have been made for fur
nishing number of large residences through
out. In addition to the new stock, as an at
tractive feature of this department, it will By
remembered that this house cuts, makes and
lays carpets free Of charge-a very consider
able saving to buyers.
This is quite an inadequate notice Of this
excellent stock; but it will call attention to
the fact that the house has opened spring
trade early and opened 1t thus early with the
Intention Of giving the public one extra
month of special inducements In all lines oi

will show that the inducements offered arr

2Ist Anniversary.

The FREE TRADER is able this week to
congratulate Mr. H. J. Gillen on arriving at
the 21st anniversary of his business New
Year" in Ottawa. Twenty-one years is a
long life for a retail business house, for
few reach that age; but it can be said that
in arriving at his majority" Mr.. Gillen Is
indeed full fedged man of business.
Like the ideal young man who has i'm
proved the opportunities of his "teens," he
has grown in statute and strength, and is
today in the prime of strong, healthy,
successful business career. The 81 years
he has been in Ottawa have each been
years of substantial growth-growth in
experience, knowledge, and in the conf.
dence of the buying public; and he may
justly feel pride In the fact that through
his industry and energy in the past 81
years no house in the city has before 1t a
more brilliant future than his own; and
that In the future, 1t will grow faster
and stronger than at any time during the
past.

at the Santa Fe track, near Ransom, on
Monday. One report said his team became
frightened and ran into the train; but the
coroner's j ury found that he was intoxicated
and attempted to cross the track ahead of
the train. The verdict Of the jury also
exonerates the railroad employees and fixes
the responsibility on the persons who sold

SEVEN WARDS AT LAST.

laugh and Otto Gondolf are gentlemen of

stopped an intended suicide at deaths door.
There were seven councilmen present on
Tuesday evening, and the new census,
fixing the population Of the city at this
time, was read and adopted.
Aid. Tom MaoKinlay then presented an
ordinance redistricting the city, and divid-
ing 1t into seven wards, which was adopted

The first ward remains as heretofore, all
of the city lying south Of the Illinois river.
1t is the smallest in population-945.
The second ward also remains as before
(as to the east side) all lying east Of the side
cut, and south Of Jackson street, embracing
the business part Of the city and the east
side. Population, about 1900.
The third ward is part only of what it
formerly comprised, and takes in part Of
the old second It contains all territory
north Of Jackson, east Of the side cut and
south of Superior street, running east to the
east limits. Population, about about 1850.
The fourth ward takes in all east Of the
side cut and across the main cansD east Of
La Sale street, all north Of Superior street,
and to the city limits on the east and north.
Population, about 1875.

The sixth ward is bounded on the east
by the side cut, on the south by the Illinois
river, on the west by Buchanan, Pine and
Chestnut streets, and on the north by La
fayette and Washington streets. Popula
ton absut 1875. 1t is the major part of
the old fifth.
The seventh ward is practically the major
portion of the old sixth. II is bounded on
the east by Buchanan and Pine streets, on
the north by Lafayette, and on the west and
south BY the west limits and the Illinois
| river.
There are two fifth ward aldermen,
Burke ank Hsyne, in the seventh ward no
aldermen in the fifth ward; two fourth
ward aldermen, Hull and Titus, in the sixth;
two third ward aldermen, Dinneen and
Maher, in the fourth, and no aldermen in
the third. Prichsrd and Corcoran of the

Interesting Praise Service at the Jail
 on Whalley Avenue.
 The morning preaching service and relig- ious exercises to the 300 prisoners at the chapel in the prison were conducted by mem bers of the-Y. N. 0. A. as usual The extra service in the afternoon, planned and carried out by their old long tried friend, MT. John G. North, was Of high order and was made very pleasing and instructive. After MT. North's clear and careful reading of chapter in Proverbs and emphatic commentary on it 8 company of tale nted lady singers rendered selections from the gospel hymns with fine piano accompaniment. In several of them,
 by request, the prisoners rose and joined
 with the quartette lady choir. A long reel
 tation was admirably read by Miss w., the lady e1ocution teacher. Miss Leete, @ soloist singer of fine voice, manner and presence, rendered several inspiring hymns and songs of praise. Per- feet order prevailed, and all listened with eager attention. At MT. North's raising of his hand all would rise and join in the sing ing as desired. At the downward move ment of his hand they all quietly and quick lY took their seats again. The speaker showed deep earnest feeling, especially in his closing prayer. The prisoners recognized in him a helpful friend and an old acquaintance be- loved. Many who are interested in reforma- tory religious work for the convicts came from far and near. Carriages also conveyed Mr. North and his band of singers and Miss w., the elocution teacher, to the orphan asy lum at the close of the exercises ab0ut4 D. n. The officers and employees of the prison made much interested part of the aur dieuce.
