work such us no cowardly or even timid
man could perform. Among engine driv.

only the former are selected for these last
runs. timid man, prone to shut offsteam
for every shadow seer on the track, or for
every imaginary danger, for engineers are
called upon continually to beat back their

Moore, of Fairfax G. H, Va.
Thus we record the death of one who VIZ. young

daughter, sister, friend, wife and mother-was
loved devotedy, and in return gave full measure.
Only 26 years old, fitted for life end enjoyment.
happy in her home and loved ones, the engel OF
death came quickly and lowered around but he
brought no terror. She was accustomed to talk
OF death, and said that she had no fear
She had remarked to friend that she never ex .
pected to be old. When told how near the end
WAS, she was perfectly calm and resigned On be-
ing asked If she was afraid to die, the reply was,
NO; why should 1 be?" She tried to omfort
those around her, and waking with smile said to
her mother. II have been dreaming sweetly. and
had almost forgotten that. am dying. Just
think, may drop to sleep and not wake again
here" Giving minute directions, sending love
and kind messages to all, forgetting not even the
servants, she waited the final summons. Never
did death seem nearer 10 some who we're present .
never did he appear lees terrible, as viewed with
relation to the gentle spirit about to be translated
it seemed as If it were good to be there.
Years ago Susie Moore gave her young heart to
Christ; she was confirmed by Bishop White in
the Episcopal Church at Fairfax G. H.. where
later she'stood beautiful bride, and on Monday

A DISPATCH from Philadelphia says

Parties from Hazleton confirm the report
that the miners strike is ct an end in the
Lehigh region, and that there ia general
stampede of the miners for places. The
miners already at work complain bitterly
that the companies are taking advantage Of
their necessities and requiring them to
work for less than was paid before the
strike"
# the men who ordered the strike referred
to be subject to the influences OF ordinary
impressions, their feelings now cannot be of
the most agreeable character. 1t is bad
enough to suffer for ones own actions, but,
10 the right sort of meu, it is much worse
that ether people should suffer for them.

The NIoxie secref Leakinr onr

From the evidence given in the Moxie suits against imitators in Texas, Texas paper says: s'It seems that the moxie plant used ie very rich in albumenoids, which are tke principal nutrition of the nerves. That after discovery this fact, Dr. Thompson says, with knowledge of the fact that the brain and nerve system are seat of animal life; and that they control the functions of the body; and that paralyzed or exhausted nerve force oould not make the stomach digest albumen in proper quantity. fine enough to enter the nerve circulation, which is 31 times smaller than the capillary blood vessels, conceived the idea of an artificial digestion that would bridge the difficulty. The result is, the doc tor is now able to make moxie restore ner- vous exhaustion, mal-nutrition and atrophy of the nerves, and mend the effects of oyer work and over stimulation. The discovery of the new process by which albumen is completely digested artiheially, so that neither heat nor alcohol can coagulate or preoipitate it, is very important one. The doctor says the Moxie Nerve Food will not cure paralysis caused by the mechanical pres sure of effused fluids, but will restore any condition caused by nervous exhaustion. The druggists say the enormous sale of this food has never been equalled in the history of trade. A small quantity seems to rest the tired d-out at once. It is said to contain neith er alcohol nor medicine.'

A RRAUTIRUL sCENE.

Lawn Festival Last Night fer the Beneft of the All Saints HIfs. sion.
 The grounds of Mrs. Du Bois at S2S How ard avenue presented a beautiful sight last night. The large and beautifully shaded lawn was decorated with Chinese lanterns, while an electric light and two locomotive
 headlights made the scene brighter and more entrancing. The reason of this scene of gayety was lawn party and festival for the benefit of the All Saints mission, which was
 being given under the auspices of the Guild. Little tents and canopied shelters trimmed with red, white and blue bunting were numerous. In every nook and corner there was stand of some sort. In all these places
 ice cream and cake were served. Music was
 furnished by St. Georges band. Among
 those who were actively engaged in making
 the affair success were c. 0. Camp, rector of the All Saints' mission; J. N, States and
 wife, Mir. Strickland, secretary of the Guild ::
 Andrew Patience, Miss Du Bois, MT. Wise
 man, MT. Hobro, Mir. Tuthill, Miss Tuthill,
 Mrs. Patience and Mrs. Camp, mother of the
 rector. The mission building cost s12. 800.
 and the mission is in debt $2, 300. The fes-
 tival last night was to get money enough to
 lay 220 foot pavement. About $1O0 was realized.
