months he fingered between life and
death with the disease known as nailer's
consumption, but his idomitable resolu-

spoken of as circumspect, honorable
Christian man, one who counted his
friends as many. He was member of
the Presbyterian Church and of the Ma

groceryman of Bridgeport, died on Sat
urday night, after long illness. 1t will
be remembered that he was assaulted
and beaten some time ago by Combs and
McDOnough, with the intention of rob-
berry, and that these men were convicted
and subsequently effected their escape.
1t is asserted by some of Watkins
friends that this was the beginning of his
illness. Watkins had led rather an event

| MRS. MARGARET JUNKINS, widow of
the late Wm. Junkins, died at the home
of her son-in- law. d. II. Mcbride, with
whose family she had resided during the
past year, on Monday, in the S9th year of
her age. Deceased was born in county
Antrim, Ireland March 3, 1902, and re-
moved with her husband and family to
America in 1853, locating in Belmont
county. Her husband died in 1876, since
which time she has made her home with
her children, five of whom survive-Mrs.
Marg't Finney, Bloomington, Ill; Mrs.
Mary Huffman, Norwich, O.; Mrs. Jennie
Mcbride, st. Clairsville; Mrs. Nan Gal
lagher, Gibson's Station, Ohio, and John
man and Mrs. Mcbride were the only
children at her bedside at the time of her
death and at her funeral. Deceased was
identified with the Presbyterian church,
and although very feeble in body and
mind of recent years, at the last hour she
recalled and repeated the simple little
prayer, learned in childhood, Now l lay
me down to Sleep" etc, and with this
upon her lips she passed peacefully away.
The funeral occurred on Tuesday, Rev.
DR.. Hollingshead, of the NJ. E. Church,
conducting the religious exercises. In
terment in Union Cemetery.
CADIZ experienced a rather disastrous
blaze early on Tuesday morning.
When first discovered the fire was we'll
under headway in the Globe Hotel sta
bles, and it speedily spread to the hotel
and adjoining buildings. When checked
the fire had consumed or totally ruined
the stables mentioned, the Globe Hotel,
the large furniture store of J. w. Gil
lespie, McConnelrs wagon shop, and a
number of stables in the immediate vi
cinity. At one time it looked like the
whole business portion of the town would
burn, and it required much effort to con- /
fine the fire to the above limits owing to
the scarcity of water.
The hotel was two story brick build /.
ing, and the loss is placed at $4,000. |.
The total is figured at $4,000, upon which
there is a partial insurance The fire is
said to have been undoubtedly of in
cendiary origin, as it was the fourth |
to burn the hotel stables. An
attempt was also made to burn the new
stables at the fair ground the same night

THE COMING OF DEATH.

The Signs Many and Variable-Dying
Usually a Painless Experience.
The signs of impending death, says the
Medical Journal, are many and variable.
No two instances are precisely identical,
yet several signs are common to many
cases.
Shakespeare, who observed everything
else, observed and recorded some of the
premonitory signs of death also. In the
account of the death of Falstaff, the sharp
ness Of the nose, the coldness of the feet,
gradually extending upward, the picking
at the bed-clothes are accurately described.
For some time before death indications of
its approach become apparent Speech
grows thick and labored, the hands, if
raised, fall instantly. the respiration is diff
ficult, the heart loses its power to propel
the blood to the eXtremities, which conse-
quently becomes cold, clammy moisture
oozes through the pores OF the skin, the
voice grows weak and husky or piping, the
eyes begin to lose their luSter.
In death at old age there Is gradual
dulling of all the bodily senses and of many
OF the mental faculties; memory fails, juds-
ment wavers, Imagination goes out like a
candle. The muscles and tendons get stiff,
the voice breaks, the cords OF the taberna-
Gle are lOOseniBg. Small noises irritate,
sight becomes dim, nutrition goes on Fee
bly,, digestion is impaired, tn6 SecretI0nS
are insufficient, or Initiated, or cease, capil-
larry: circulation is clogged. Finally, the
central organ Of the circulation comes to "a
stop, full stop, and this stoDpage means
dissolution. This is the death of old age,
which few attain to.
Many PEOPLE have an idea that death is
necessarily painful, even agoniZing, but
there is no reason whatever to suppose that
death is more painful process than birth.
1t is because in a certain proportion of
cases dissolution Is accompanied by visl-
BILE spasm and distortion of the countenance
that this idea exists but it Is as nearly GER
tain as anything can be that these distOr-
tions of the facial muscles are not only pain
less, but take place unconsciously. In many
instances, too, comatose or semi-coma-
tose state supervenes, and it is altogether
probable that more OF less complete uncon-
seriousness then prevails. We have, too
abundant evidence of people who have
been nearly drowned and resuscitated, and
they all agree in the statement that, after
few moments Of painful struggling, fear and
anxiety pass away and state OF tranquility
succeeds. They see visions of green fields,
and in some cases hear pleasing music; and
SO far from being miserable, their sensa-
tions are delightful. But where attempts
at TesuscitatiOn are successful, the resusci-
tated persons almost invariably protest
against being brought back to life, aud de-
clare that resuscitatiOn is accompanied by
physical pain and acute mental misery.
Death is a fact which every man must
personally experience, and consequently is
of universal Interest; and as facts are facts,
the wisest course is TO look them squarely
in the face. for necessity is coal black and
death keeps no calendar.

WOMAN'S INFLUENCE.
A Sermon on Her Power in the
Church and Society.

Rev. DR.. G. W. Izer preached an interest
ing sermon last evening in Simpson Mem o.
rial Church, corner of Hayes and Buchanan
streets, his subject being Influence OF
Women in Society and in the Church of
Christ; Mother, Wife, Sister. Saint"
He introduced his subject by abiding to
the Samaritan woman, who was deeply i'm
pressed with what she had heard from
Christ. and who had great influence for
good over her people. The theme, he said,
was one to which justice could never be
done Eve tempted Adam to partake Of
the forbidden fruit, and from that day till
now the history of fallen man Is the history
of woman's power. Beautiful as is the
image of mans soul, its ruin is easy in the
hands of a designing woman. Solomon,
the great, wise, rich Solomon, was led by
woman to sin.
But while woman's influence is power
when enlisted on the side of evil, 1T IS
equally great when enlisted on the side OF
good Her devOutness at the altar OF her
God is no passing Impulse, no mere emotion.
She contributes to her husband greatness.
There are bright men who might never
have been heard Of but for the inspiration
OF loving wives at hOMe.
For the first fifteen years Of its life the
child is continually under the mothers
care, for the father must attend his oecupa-
liUu- L Lo IlulIdls Will HcL hOuoCAOlu
jewels about her, must reiterate her lessons
Of love If she would conquer in the end.
The preacher then spoke of the influence
of mothers on children, and quoted in sup
port of his statement tile cases of Sir
Walter Scott Napoleon, Washington,
Henry and Nero. On all great men the
mothers character had wonderful intiu-
ence. In their lives could be seen the ex-
amples of how sons initiate their mothers.
The mothers of ministers of Christ have
been piOus women. Children are what
their mothers are. In her office the mother
holds the key of the soul.
ity, for the needy and distressed was dwelt
on in glowing terms by the reverend
speaker, who changed his theme to the part
taken by women in the early Christian
times, which is familiar in the gospels.
They were the companions of the Apos-
Ties" said he, sisters and wives and
mothers of the martyrs for the truth"
Looking into the Methodist Church in
America, which contains millions OF souls.
what could be seen? Its prosperity was in
n great measure due TO woman. American
Methodsm is woman's gift to this great
continent" continued the preacher. " The
real founder of Methodsm was woman
Susannah Wesley-whose gift to the world
was the religion. But for woman the
Church Of Christ would be 1850 years be-
hind to-day in its position and power"
He concluded by assuring women that
God had place for each one in the great
mosaic that goes to make up his kingdom.

PITS INTHE YoRKTowN,S BOTTOM.

A Scientific Examination May Be Made
to Ascertain Their Cause.
Orders have been received at the Navy
Yard for the United States steamship
Yorktown to go into dTy-doek. The vessel
was locked at Malta about two months
ago, when she was on her cruise with the
Squadron of Evolution, and her bottom
found to be fouled slightly and in some
places very badly pitted. The pits at that
time were all very carefully located, but
the present examination is made in order
that the department may reassure itself as
to the exact amount OF damage done. 1t is
suggested, too, that there may be scientific
reasons for the present examination.
Pits, which generally form on the
bottom of steel-clad cruisers about
the size of a pea, have as yet eluded
satisfactory explanation. The present
examination may be Of interest from a
scientific point of view. Captain Chadwick
thinks that perhaps TWO or three Of the
them have been worn thin in spots by the
action OF the water. The ships bottom
will be scraped and treated to paint and an
anti-fouling composition.
Relative to the Yorktown's being short
handed. Captain Chadwick said "When
we left the Cape de Verde Islands, on June
18th. all the men of the squadron whose
time was up, or nearly up, and the chronic
sick, amounting in all to nine.two men,
were transferred to our ship. About an
equal number of our men were transferred
to the other vessels to fill their places We
are now short, therefore. about ninety men,
or will be soon, when the time OF number
of the men yet on board will be up. These
places will be filed by men who have yet
two years to serve, and the difficulty lies in
finding just that class. All the crew of the
Galena who is going out of commission,
who have yet two years to serve will be
transferred to the Yorktown"
The officers and crew Of the VesuYius are
living by candle-light now while awaiting
their electric lighting outfit. There are but
few lamps aboard. The black paint of the
VesuYius is being scraped off preparatory
TO her receiving coat OF white paint to
comply with the regulations Of the depart
ment That all steel-crGisers shall be painted
white. The VesuViuS is going into dry
dock within week or ten days to have her
bottom scraped and TO put in a pair OF new
screw propellers. They will have acoarser
pitch than the old ones, for the purpose OF
comparing results. Some time after she
has been overhauled the VesuVius will go
experimenting with her pneumatic guns

WILLIAM THE CONQUER0R.
The Salient Points in This Great Kings

The Salient Points in This Great Kings
Character.
1t is little hard to pierce through the
mists of adulation which shroud the figure
of the conqueror. Naturally enough the
chronicler and the trouvere of his own and
of his children's age loved to paint the
great and successful hero in the fairest
c0lors. Yet we know enough of the state
OF Normandy to know that his rule was
something more than imperious and abso-
lute-it was strong, just and wise. His
great dOmniOnS In France were famous
throughout Europe for their general peace
and prosperity. The universal dismay
which was felt when, after mis- long reign,
the scepter passed into the hands of the
gay and dissolute Robert is an index to
what the people thought OF their great, just
ruler, harsh though he was and even cruel
in those wild, stormy times, when life and
property were both Of them held by So
slender thread.
But no trouvere, Norman or English,
could paint the home life OF William in
colors too golden. In dissOlute age, when
morality was held by all classes only too
cheaply, as the successors of "a line of great
chieftains who had all been born out of
lawful matrimony and who, with scarcely
an exception, had openly bid defiance to all
those laws, written and uDwritten, with
W hich the Christianity they professed TO
revere has eDdeavored TO purify the family

showed himself throughout his reign as the
pattern husband and father. No light sto-
ries were ever fairly whispered of the Duke
and King, faithful to the Queen Matilda,
whom he seems to have loved with real,
deep love. He set the highest example 70
all the courts aud Princes of his time, and
when Matilda died, some four years before
his death hurt at Nantes, we know that all
sunshine had passed forever from his weary,
brilliant life.-Good Words.
