Obituary..

On the 1st day of August. 1889,
Mrs. Elizabeth Daniels departed this
life. She was born on the Both day
of January. 1917, and was therefore
~ years, 6 months and 1 day old.
Her maiden name was Fike. She
was the daughter of John and Nancy
Fike. She was married to Isaac
Daniels on November 26th, 1s43,
which union resulted in family of 7
children-five of whom are still liv.
ing. Her husband died on the 9th
day of April, 1859. and left her a
widow. which she remained up to
her death. She was member Of the
Methodist church for MANY years till
last fall. when she united with the
Lutheran church in the Cove, by
transfer of name, giving as her reason
for so doing the distance she had to
her own church, while she was living
almost at the door of the Lutheran
church. She lived most of the time
with her son William. She was a
very quiet and reserved woman, un-
demonstrative in religion. She was
good woman, l believe. She has
gone, 1 trust, to Join her husband and
children in better. grander, and
more beautiful land than this of
earth. Her remaining children. who
are orphans in the truest sense of the
word. have the sympathy of the com.
munity. w. M. s.

ELOQUENT PREACHING. - The


Rev. DIR. F. w. Gunsaulus, of
Chicago. tells of an amusing episode
of his first pastorate. which, by the
way, was in town on Long Island.
81 was full of enthusiasm in those
days." he says in telling the story.
land came nearer to believing N.Y.
self great preacher than ever have
since. This Long Island town to
which 1 was assigned was considered
ungodly but. with the optimism of
youth. l believed that my eloquence
would soon reduce it to a state of in
nOcuous virtue. Well, the day for
my maiden sermon came around.
and the church was well filled. /
was never more eloquent than I was
that day, and before I got half
through my sermon I felt quite con-
fident of converting the whole town
in short order. just then / saw a
tardy brother enter the church and
weave uncertainty up the middle
aisle. 1t required no second glance
to see that. full as the church was that
morning, he was still fuller. l was
in hopes that he would quietly drop
into one of the seats near the door,
but my hopes were in vain.
by walking up both sides of the
aisle he gradually got to the front
pews, right under the pulpit. 1t
then occurred to me that might
prevent an unpleasant scene by adj
dressing a soothing and pleasant re-
mark to my bacchanalian brother.
So l said in sympathetic tones: Il
perceive that the brother is sick.
Perhaps if he were to allow the SEX
ton to accompany MIN to the door he
would speedily recover in the open
air. | felt like congratulating my
self on my diplomacy, but the sick
brother seemed to misunderstood my
good intentions. Bracing himself I'M
certainly against pew. and gazing
at me with a look of panied and in
dignant surprise, he remarked in
thick but audible tones "It's Won
ner to me that thish (hicl bad preach
in doesn't (hic) make 'em all sick.
This unholy repartee made every
body laugh. and when 1 left the pull
pit had given up all thoughts Of
converting the town by my eloquent
preaching."-NeoO York Graphic.

There has been more travel through

MAKES His OWN GoDs.-A Read
ing PA. special says: "a most re-
maakable character has just been I'M
earthed here. He is thorough idol
ator, and daily bows down to gods of
his own manufacture within sound
of the church going bells. as rever-
entity and devoutly as the most pious
Hindoo or Zulu. He has made re-
ligion entirely his own, and has
evolved out of it some 800 or more
gods, who dwell in and speak
through the same number of idols of
CLAW. All of his gods are hollow, and
are from time to time filed with
such food as he thinks their peculiar
nature demands. Among others. he
has a god of medicine. This is filled
with pills and odd prescriptions, and
whenever he feels unwell he prays to
his divinity, and always. he says.
with beneficial results. He has a
god of sewing machines. which is
filled with blank contracts for the
nurchase of machines on the INSTALL
ment plan. He has one image which
he calls the god of preachers. and
SAYS it has a congregation of three
hundred in its stomach. He has one
god which he says is inhabited by
his own celestial spirit, and another
which contains the spirit of his
mother.
1.-THE god of the Reading Railroad
Company occupies prominent posi-
Ision among his collection. The in
terror of this god is filled with CAB.
bage, and its particular mission is to
keep cows off the track and prevent
accidents generally. There is a god
of horses filled with hay and oats. a
god of fruits filled with apples, a god
of the weather that regulates storms
and floods. a god of watermeIons. a
god of truth which is in the shape of
a hand. and gods which represent al
most everything imaginable. He has
these images set up on shelves in his
cellar and garrett. and worships them
constantly according to his needs.
His name Is William Christoph
Clemmar, and his home is at No.
GA Locust, where he lives with his
wife and six children. He is brick.
maker by trade and works regularly
at one of the brick.yards of the city,
occupying all of his spare time with
his idols, which he fashions out OF

TIE FIELD FAMILY.-The attack
of Terry upon Justice Field has re-
called attention to and reawakened
interest in one of the most celebrated
of American families. The first of
the line to attain prominence in this
country was Timothy Field. a cap
tain in the revolutionary army and a
man of much mark in his time. His
son, David Dudley Field, D. D., was
Congregational clergyman of Con-
necticut, born in 1881, and dying in
1867 at the ripe age of eighty-six. He
was famed % New England histo.
rian, and published many local his
tories but his chief claim to renOWn
and his great glory lay in the record
of his four sons. The oldest of the
four, David Dudley Field. has long
held rank as one of the foremost law
yers of New York Henry Martin
Field is one of the leading divines of
the continent Cyrus w. Field has
an everlasting monument in the At
lantic cable, the creature of his genius
and his energy, and Stephen John
son Field is one of the ablest and
purest of the judges who have adorn-
ed our Supreme Bench. You shall
search the history of our times liz
vain to find four brothers who have
attained to such deserved eminence
IN such varied walks of life. 1t is,
indeed, famous famiiy.-C Cincinnati
