Jane NJ, wife of Ira w. Howard,
died on Saturday the Goth, after acute
suffering from heart disease, aged 20
years. The funeral services were con-
Quoted on Tuesday afternoon at her
late residence by her pastor, Rev. A.
j. Hough. Mrs. Howard was well
known, having always lived in town,
and in her death a beautiful, blame
less life has been removed from our
midst. Converted at the age of 16
under the labors of Rev. Joseph Clark
in West Bradford, her old home, her
life had been one uubrOken service of
Christ. She carried everywhere the
spirit of gentleness and purity, and her
daily walk was clearer, deeper in
depreciation of the New Testament
than can be put into any other form of
language. Some twelve years ago a
great sorrow came int her life in tie
death of her only child, Ella, and since
that time she has seemed more than
ever to live in the realm of hOlier COM
partnership and deeper loves. The
Methodist church, of which she was a
member have suffered personal be-
reavement, and will cherish her MEM
DRY as one of the purest and best gone
forth from their communion to the
higher fellowship of the church in
light. Mr.. Howard in his lonliness
and sorrow has the sympathy of the
whole community.

infamous conspiracy to reverse the
result of the election Nov. 6. 1t declares
that bribery, bulldozing, intimidation

necessary to manipulate the returns i'll
many counties since the election, to fur

has been slow to learn this. Nothing
satisfactory can be accomplished with
douches, snuffs, powers, syringes, as

because they are all irritating, do not
thoroughly reach the affected surfaces

Home Without a Mother. .


What is home without mothers
What are all the joys we meet7
When her loving smile no long
Greet the coming Of our feet;
The days seem long, the nights are drear,
And time rolls slowly on;
And oh how few are ehildhood's pleasures
When her gentle care is gonel
Things we prize are first TO vanish;
hearts we love to pass away;
And how soon, even in our childhood,
We behold her turning gray,
Her eye grows dim, her step is slow.
Her joys of earth are past,
And before we learn to know her,
She has breathed on earth her last.
Other hearts may have their sorrow;
Griefs that quickly die away;
But the mother lost childhood,
Grieyes ths helrt from day to day.
We miss her kind and willing hand,
Her fond and earnest care;
And however dear is life around us,
what's home without a mother there:

Relics of Earlx narharism.

Few who bedeck themselves with gold and
silver ornaments pause TO reflect upon the
original Specification of such things, or i'm
agine that they are the relics Of the barbar-
ism of our early history. Yet undoubtedly
such is the case. The glittering necklet
which the Nineteenth century lady clasps
around her neck is only survival of the old
practice of placing n metal collar upon n
slave as mark of ownership, and the brace
let of the maiden and the manacle of the
felon have common origin. In the same
way rings were once worn as badge Of
serfdom, but possibly because Of the ease
with which they could be detached from the
finger and destroyed their use for this pur-
pose was soon abandoned.
Among the early Jews they were used "a n
symbol of authority. Pharaoh placed his
ring upon the finger of Joseph when he made
him ruler over Egypt, as a sign that he had
invested him with supreme power; and King
Ahasuerus sealed his grant to Mos3ecai and
the Jews with his signet ring, saying, THAT
which is sealed with the kings seal no man
may reverse In medieval times the signet
ring Of sovereign or powerful noble was
considered sufficient warrant of authority.
and to the wearer was an open sesame in all
places where its owner had influence. Some
OF this Specification has been handed down to
our own day, and bishops still wear ring
upon the third finger of the right band as a
mark of their episcopal authority. London

ter day, week after week, you endure that
dull pain in your back--that terrible

solutely nothing to effect a cure? In a

that "members are left free as to their
political affiliations and resolution to
the contrary was voted down without de-
bate at the recent New York convention. .
The minority, she added, twas free to
dissent and has always been" This decla
ration has caused decided stir among
members of the organization. That it
has been sharply criticised goes without
saying. Said Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, lead
er of the non partisan element of the
Union, recently:
at is true, but not the whole truth
The current press reports, as far as
have seen them, are substantially true
The resolution referred to was not adopt
ed; but an amendment to the Consttu-
ton, involving the same loyalty test, ,
was offered by the President of the Illi-
no:s Union. This amendment must lie
over one year, and will come up for adop-
ton at the next convention. Also, the
convention did by formal vote, indorse
the manner in which the editor of the Of
fetal organ of the society has conducted
the paper. Itapproved the position she
has taken in the exercise of editorial pre-
negatives on the political as we'll as any
other question: and expressed determina-
tion to stand by her in her difficult and
trying position.
"What were the editorial prerogaliVes
she has assumed She had declared that
loyalty did not permit adverse criticism
of the plans of the society. She has said
that a Republican woman who exercised
her political freedom in the service of the
party of her choice, had by that exercise
violated the spirit of the organization.
