ramic View of the crescent shaped city
and the forest of masts in the harbor
and the blue Mediterranean reaching
out to the horizon line, is one to re-
member. There is an art gallery, too,
In which there are four or five pictures
, among four or five hundred that it is
worth while to see. There is one pic
ture especially, by Van Dyke, repre-
senting Christ at the moment when
he was saying to the crafty Jews who
thought to entrep him, "Render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesar'sn
etc., hat will no. soon be forgotten.
And there is the ;ity hall, where you
will be shown original letters and por-
traits of Christopher Columbus, and
Paganini's violin, kept with its bow
other paraphernalia in a glass case
and under lock and key. And you
will not fail to go to the Cathedral
whereof you are a man-.you will be
taken into little chapel and shown
the silver box in which repose the re-
mains of John the Baptist, and the
stone sarcophagus in which the re.
mains were brought from Palestine by
the Crusaders, and the chain with
which he was imprisoned. Women
are never permitted to enter this chap
ell or see the relics,-for the entirely
sufficient reason that the Baptist came
to his death through a woman. Seeing
these relics may remind you that a
little to the north of the city is the
Campo Santo, probably the richest
and most elaborate burying ground
in the world. Drive out to it and you
find hundreds of the most exquisite
monuments, representing with their
varied designs and innumerable sculp-
lures, the very latest and best of Gen.
oese art. 1t is very boastful and o.
tentatious woe that has erected most
of these monuments, but they are
worth going to see. There Is another
splendid view as you return to your
el,-of the ampltheatre like city,
too far away for the ugliness of details
to be observed or the rank oders to be
perceived, of the forest of masts in the
harbor, of the white sails in the offing,
of the beautiful blue sea aud the hazy
mountains shutting 1t n,--and If you
want to remember Genoa pleasantly,
you will try to fasten this scene in
your memory and forget the rest.

Obituaries,

Elliott Winchester, son of Capt. H.
A. and Elizabeth Merriman Ewing,
died at the home of his parents Thurs
day, Aug. 20, 1891, aged IL years, 4
months and days.
He was born at Bloomington, ILL.,,
April Is, 1874. Defended from long
line of Christian ancestors, he was a
child of the covenant, and was receiv-
ed into the Church before he was fif-
teen years of age. He was an exceed
ingly bright boy, of a receptive and re-
tentive memory and a studious dispo-
sition, and would have graduated in
the Latin course from the high school
next term. He was faithful and af-
fectionate in the discharge of duty at
home, with very lively appreciation
of the humorous and Zest for innocent
fun. He was a consistent Christian,
an earnest member of the Y. Z. S. G.
+. and a close student of the Word as
a member of the Young Mems training
class, conducted by his pastor. His
clear, ringing voice, his distinct enun-
citation, and his fearless utterance
him as especially promising
for the Christian ministry. His was a
bright and promising life closed by
bright and hopeful death. Jesus was
and consciously with him in
his last hours. He was beloved by all
VINO knew him. The respect felt for
him and the sympathy for his family
was shown by the large attendance at
his funeral. The service was conduct
ed at his late home. The subject of the
discourse was, "The Funeral of a
Youth. Luke 7:12-15. He was much
missed in his class OH Sunday in the
School, for it was only sickness
Or absolute necessity that ever kept
him away. May his life and death be
made a great blessing to his many fell
ow scholars in the high school and
Sunday School. ~

Thursday, August 20, 1891, Mr.. Aaron

united with the lola Baptist church,
Of which he was respected member
and officer at the time of his death.
His loss will be keenly felt in the COM

worthily. His wife and four child

DULUTH TO LIVERPOOL.

1t is far cry from Duluth to Liver
pool, but the gallant little steel built
steamer Charles w. Wetmor has
brought them within hailing distance.
The long voyage has been accom-
plished, and the feat of delivering a
cargo of wheat shipped at Duluth in
Liverpool without rehandling has
has been accomplished. The Wet
more started from Duluth in the lat
ter part of June with cargo Of 90, 900
bushels of grain. Her route was
through the great lakes and Welland
canal; down the st. Lawrence river
and across the Atlantic. She made
the voyage in safety, and yesterday
the cable flashed back the message
that the cargo had been delivered in
good condition in England's chief
port. The voyage is a tremendous
one counted in miles, and comprises
the greatest variety Of navigation a
vessel could encounter, running from
the inland navigation of all the great
lakes, the peaceful passage through
a grand canal, the perilOus descent of
the river ST. Lawrence and the en-
countering of the storms Of the Allan
tic. The success of the voyage opens
up a new era in American navigation
and brings the great northwestern
wheat belt nearer than ever before to
the chief market for our surplus

Donovan and Donneley was murdered
in Mike Cohen's saloon, No. 29S South
Clark street at 8 o'clock p. m, and Pat
Ryan, the man whom the police are
looking for as the murderer, dragged
his victim down the steps to cheap
lodging house underneath the saloon
and attempted to hide his crime by OF
fering to pay 10 cents for bunk into
which he might put the dead man.
Donovan walked into Cohen's saloon at
the hour named, followed by Ryan,
who struck him blow on the head.
The witnesses of the ARRAY did not see
anything in Ryan's hand, but Donovan
fell senseless to the floor as though
struck by sandbag.

after going to Paris came here. He

AS it has been already announced that
his wife would not accompany him, but
would stay III LONDON, it Is probable
that they desire to attract as little atten-
ton as possible TO their separation. The
cause of this is said to be due to the
positive nature of both husband and
wife. which, owing to the many years
they lived alone renders 1t difficult for
them to conform to tine peculiar views
