WHAT truth can there be in the
rumor that Sarah Bernhardt, the
divine Sarah, is soon to hide her
genius in the cloister? Is it the
shadow OF coming event or the fig
ment of an ingenious advance agents
brain? Probably the latter. With
her consuming love for the world, the
flesh and-so forth-it is not at all
likely that she would immune herself
IN nunnery. Not, a. least, while
there exist countries wherein annual
farewell tours result in showers of
gold. This world of ours contains
too many pleasures which a woman
OF Sarah's luxurious tastes could not
readily renounce. She could not
shoot buzzards nor command applause
nor maintain a menagerie In a nun
merry, and it is unlikely that she will
give up the world unless the world
gives her up first.

Harrison's clection's election

into the hands Of the republi

In return, the republicans
hate pledged themselves to
give their entire vote to Wea
yer if Harrison's chances of
election should look doubt:
full that day. The bargain;
according to the Weaverite
candidate, was made between
both parties to beat Cleve-

express view to break thesol-:

Knowing as we do that
the nomination of the Fur

dnilcy to lose Harrison the
electoral vote and ruin for
ever the Republican party
here, it is our duty to- Op-
pose this ticket and to do all
we can to bring about Il
crushing defeat for it. This
we shall do without regard
TO personal and political con-
sequences. Every phase ofthe

we have the firm support

vice is to vote against the

cure the two remaining re-

The following concerning the funeral
of Rev. 5. ID. Pulford is taken from the
Puyallup Citizen, Washington. of June
18th.
The sad news OF Mr. Pulford's death
drew host OF his brother clergy, his
fTields and pensioners 10 his bier, aud
the funeral services showed many spOn-
taneous marks of respect for the dead
and SS mpaIhy for the bereaved Floral
offerings and kindly acts Of sympathy
were contributed by all classes and
creeds of the community and never
since its erection have 50 many people
been drawn To the little church as were
upon this sad occasion crowding the
pews, standing in the isles and upon the
surrounding sidewalks. Bishop Pad
dock ofiiciated AT the services and was
assisted by the Rev Samuel Wells of the
hill parish. at Tacoma; the ReverendS
Watson aud Chiefs. Reclors of Seattle
and the Rev. Hills. Rector of St.
Lukes. The beautiful services for the
dead we're made doubiy impressive by
the touching earnestnoss OF both clergy
and congregation, as everybody in and
about the church was there only as a
relative friend or ueighbor of the de-
ceased. The ministers of the orthodox
evangelical churches of the city, among
whom the deceased was fraternally re-
spotted and beloved. acted as pail bear
ers, escorting the remains from the
residence to the church and from there
to the grave. The requiam chants and
hymns in lowered voice were beautifully
sang by quartette consisting of Mrs.
Jeaucon, DIR. Hartings, Mr.. Dusinberre
aud Miss Bray who We're accompanied
upon the organ by Mrs Fred S. Will
liams. The altar and chancel bore
elegant but chaste decorations of white
carnations intersperced with green toll
iage, while upon the casket reposed a
bunch of long stemmed callas bundled
in their graceful leaves and knoted
with white crepe bow besides bunch
of golden wheatheadS. In the cortege
to the grave were a number of Mr.
Pulford's old pariShioners from the east,
now residents of Tacoma and Seattle,
who upon hearing of the reverend gem
tleman's death. came here to follow
the aged clergyman, scholar and modest,
though elegant gentleman of the old
school to the sacred area where he will
rest among many others who have con.
tributed largely 10 the material and
spiritual development of this community
and whose Eames like that of the first
resident rector of Christ church parish
will be part OF the city's history.
