LIN ES,


Suggested by the death of Ethan Green
We sit at the hearthstone in sadness,
As darkly the night shadows fall;
For one from our number is missing,
The young est, beloved by us all.
Though from heart to heart in the household
Sweet flowers of affection spring;
We know not till death has bereft us,
How closely loves tendrils will cling.
Oil why in the morning of manhood
When liz and its hopes were all bright.
Should the death angel summon our loved
one,
And bear him away from our sight.
We question in vain, for no answer
May come from the dear ones who sleep
The solace earth brings. oh. how meager,
When waters of sorrow run deep.
But the morn Of eternity dawneth
Beyond the great food tide OF years,
There hope casts her anchor securely,
And faith tripmphs over our tears
Ravenna o. MARY A. HALL.

Saturday night the store of L. c. Dodge & Co.
was burgIarized, and early next morning Mr..
McCloskey. night operator at the Erie, having
occasion to step outside of his Office. noticed
light in the freight office. Surprised at the unu-
sual sight. he went over to investigate. and dis
covered colored individual crouched just out
side the Office door, through a broken panel of
which he saw another man hid under table.
He drew his revolver, and compelled the outside
guard - to go in the Office. where similar per-
suasion induced his confederate to come out from
under the table. Covering the pair with his re-
yolver McCloskey telephoned for assistance. and
soon officer Goodenough came down and took
the pair into custody. Monday forenoon they
were given hearing before Mayor Cole, charg ed
with burglary, and were bound over to the Com
mon Pleas in the sum of $4Co. They were then
given a hearing on a second charge of the same
kind. for breaking into the Dodge store-room.
and we're bound over in the same sum.
They gave their names as Herbert Wilson and
George Davis. of Akron. Wilson is about %
years old. and is minus leg. Davis has -proba-
bly, seen 25 years. and has face painted by Afri-
can pigments. He seems. in fact. to consider
himself a high-bred hybrid At all events. he
was shrewd enough to hold his peace. Wilson
said they started from Akron l p. m. Saturday,
and did not reach Ravenna until 2 or o'clock
the next morning. This was disproVed by the
fact of their having begged their breakfast Sat-
urday morning at Joseph Gledhills. They were
also seen near the Atlantic Mills Saturday after
n noon. with third party, thought to be pal, but
who did not happen to be in at the depot bur-
glary. but who it is thought had hand in the
Dodge affair. On their persons were found sew
eral lead half dollars quarters and pennies. a
foot rule and a thimbIe advertising the Garland
Ranges, and silver coin which last article was
Immediately identified by 7. E. Grail. son-inlaw
of L. G. Dodge. senior member of the firm. The
floor of the store-room was strewn with matches.
and on the person of one of the culprits was a
half emptied match box. All they got for their
trouble was a taste of cheese,which they cut into
with hatchet at the Erie. and the articles just
enum Grated. which undoubtedly all came from
the Dodge's as they had some of the same kind
of coin and advertising thimbles in their store
room. On the person of one of them was found
diary which showed that since March 1st they
have efectually covered the territory between
Chicago and Bridgeport, Conn.,. and subpoena
citing him to appear before Cleyeland J. P.
last December. in behalf of the plaintiff. whom
Game Warden KeIso. who was present. said he
knew to be a crook.

The funeral of Ethan A. Green. held at

very largely attended. Rev. C. F. W. Crone-
meyer preached very comforting discourse to

young man. The Jr. O. U. A. NJ. attended in a
body. and accompanied the remains of their
brother to Maple Grove Cemetery. where they
were placed in the vault. awaiting interment.
There were 55 members in line.
| Ethan A. Green was a young man eff excellent
| character and good habits. He was very indus
trious. His life was one of devotion to the care
and support of his fathers family ever since he
/ was old enough to assume the responsibilities of

! that inspires the world to brighter hope for the
future, for it is sure testimonial of the ongoing
progress Of the higher effort inspired by unselfsh
love. Assuredly no one can inquire into the his
tory of this dutiful son without feeling the beau
ties of his ilial affection, and rejoicing in the
mere knowledge that another bright page has
been added to the book of human lives, so often
marred by the record of misspent years. Those
who knew him will never forget him. for the
image of such young life is undying. and its
influence perpetual Inheritance of blessed

We could find proof in the amazing capacities
of man, and his capability of Improvement.
We have heard the voices of earth. let US heark-
ON to the voice from heaven. The more sure
word of scripture, the light from beyond has
shined in glery on the open grave. The Eternal
Father has really spoken, and his words are
clear and strong. In the first page of the book
we read that God breathed quenchless fire in
man and he became living soul. All through
the Holy Book Immortality shines. Christ was
born to die, He died to live and rise again. Lie
in him is more than Immortality; one may be
a curse. the other means eternal well being.
He our lie. because he lives we shall live
also, We are indeed begotten to a lively hope
by his resurrection from the dead. The truest
lips that ever spoke said. 81 am the Resurrec-
tion and the Life.' On his girdle are the keys
of life and death. He says, Fear not those
who can kill the body and nothing more, but
fear him who has power over body and soul,'
Hands red with slaughter. pointed daggers
swords of steal, sharpened axes, cannot touch
the inner and truer life. Above the sounds of
cleds dropping on the coffin, rings out the Mas
ter,s voice" Nj arvel not at this, for the hour is
Gaming when they that are in their graves shall
hear The voice of the Son of God and come
forth" Now is Christ risen and become the
first fruits of all that sleep. Let sadness depart
Throw the ga tes of gladness wide open. Come
with opening buds and blossoming flowers
with songs of praise and swelling hearts. Let
voung men and maidens. old men and children
raise an Easter anthem. Let tnis be our creed,
I" believe in the resurrection of the body in
life everlasti lg..' Amen
