IN MEMORIAM

Mrs. MAMIE BLOOMFIELD DUIIow was
born at Baton Rouge, La. August u,
1866.
She was united in marriage to Mr..
ClaI nee f.. Durrow, Jnne l3, 1889.
Died at her home in Moss Point, Miss,
May -, 1890.
Death always comes yelled in mystery
and draped in sadness, but in this dispen-
satiOn of Providence there are some ele-
ments of peculiar sorrow.
A brief, bright earthly life, radiant
while it lasted with sunshine and
joy for all who knew her, and to human
view full of promise for the future, has
come to a close.
After less than a year of welded hap
piuess, she is called hence, leaving to her
bereaved husband only an infant image of
herself, and the precious memories of
those leeting days.
Mrs. Durrow came early under the in
fueDce Of the gospel of Christ, aud con-
nected herself publicly, at the & of
eighteen, with the Baptist church of
Handsboro, Miss.
We have good hope that with her all IL
we'll. We remember her quiet, simple
christian life aud influence; we recall tho
calm courage aud faith with which she
faced the great ConquerOr. aud the reali-
ties Of eternity-expressing 40 fear Of
death aud the future, and desiring TO live,
and trying to live, only for the sake Of the
husband Of a year, the brother whose
home sue had built up, and Of the little
one which lay in her arm for so briefs
space, and we cannot doubt that she is
happy, safe, pure, perfect forever.
The funeral services were held Thurs
day afternoon frOm the Presbyterian
church, conducted by Rev. d. o. Bysrs,
assisted by Rev. L. Csley, amer which a
concOurse attended the remains to
the cemetery, aud fingered arOnnd her
until the last Office Of love bad been
performed.
ut is little matter at what hour Of day
The righteous fall asleep death cannot
come
To him untimely who has learned to die.
The less Of this brief life the more OF
heaven;
The shorter time, the longer immortality"

Men of cool judgment and dis

They refer to the act of Congress
admitting our delegation to seats
in Congress, and find that there
are certain fundamental condi-
tons upon which they were ad-
mitted, and that whenever those
conditions are violated Congress
will have the power to deny US
representation. They find too that
the negro cannot be disfran-
chised nor deprived of his share of
the school fund. They know too
that the President of the United
States and both houses of Con
gress are hostile to the South, and
would seize every occasion to hu-
initiate and degrade us and de-
prive us of representation. These

sion to their convictions, which
are being felt by the advocates for
the convention. Hence, The latter
are not so happy.
They thought the great mass of
the people would rise up and be
almost unanimous for disfranchis-
ing the negro and for an elective
judiciary, but they are beginning
to realize their mistake. The more
it is discussed, and the more the
people think about it, the less they
are inclined to have their judges
elected by the people. 1t may be
conceded that the people r as
capable Of electing learned and
upright judges as the governor is
capable of appointing; but it is ar

A GENERAL SWEAR.OFP.
City Hall WOrB to be Done By the DRY Pro-

City Hall W0rlf to be Done By the Dry Pro-
cess in the Future.
Municipal employees, having passed ever
the annual swearing-of period, will now be
required to mount prohibitory platform
during business hours. Chief Brown, Of
the Department of Public Safety, yesterday
issued an order prohibiting all employees Of
his Office from going out to ''see a man"
during Office hours.
His example will be followed by the other
chiefs OF departments, so that a general air
of reformation may be expected to permeate
the municipal building and the atmosphere
be no longer tainted with cloves, cinnamon
and other breath perfumes used to overcome
the aroma of old rye or the stencil of barrel
house rotgut.
Controller Morrow, whose Office has
always been marked as the temperance head
quarters of the City Hall. said he was glad
to see such move on foot. Both he and
Assistant Controller Davis had long urged
the propriety Of such a movement, and they
were highly pleased to see their suggestions
adopted. The Controller further said that
men who have to pay constant attention to
statistical work cannot conscientiously dis
charge their duties and take in tangle foot
at the same time. The social relations he
said could be fully as we'll sustained by re-
course to the handsome water coolers as we'll
as to the nearest barrooms.
This order does not apply to Councilmen
of either branch. William Whitman was
certain that Duquesne Hotel stock had not
deprecated in consequence of the order, but
thought the desert of Sahara would be a
fishpond compared with the City Hall after
the order went into force.
All Of the clerks in the various depart
ments spoken to on the subject, thought the
order good one, and calculated to save
money for the city's employees, but many of
them looked as uncomfortable as an ostrich
with bad case of sore throat.

The movement of coal down the river to
Cincinnati and Louisville continues. John
A. Wood & Son are preparing to send a
tow out tomorrow. They are accumulatIng
coal at their yards in Cincinnati and Louis
Viiler but are not offering any for sale in the
present state of the market.
Reports from Cincinnati indicate that
hardly any coal is being sold there, and per-
haps none at all at cents per busheI. The
market quotation for Pittsburg coal at Gin
cinnati is 81 cents There Is very little
demand for coal at that point.
Coal men who are not offering their
product at the lowest figures saw that the
few firms prepared to sell at 5 cents wouId
not necessarily lose money at that figure
Miners are not paid for nut coal and slack
and the returns from the sales of those
grades will make up for any loss on lump
coal.
All day yesterday there was great activity
in the harbor. ToWboats were bringing
down coai from the upper river and placing
them in the harbor in readiness to be sent
out in tows during the next three or four
days Nearly all the operators now have
coal in the harbor
