IN MEMORIAM.

Departed this life. November z, 1892
JOHN X. GOOD, son of Lucy NJ. and
John q. Good, in the 22nd year of his
age. Again has death, the grim destroyer,
visited this family and taken from its midst
one OF its most beloved children. This
promising young man hsd just entered
upon manhoods stage and possessing every
good and noble quality Of man was des-
tined, i believe. 20 make distinguished
mark in life. But God, in His wisdom,
sew fit TO take him away from this world
OF affection and waft him onward 10 those
regions above where sin and sorrow Is IN
known. So weep not fond parents, sister
and brothers, though your grief be hard
70 bear, but console yourselves and trus,
In God that he is at rest. A FRIESD.
ChapficO, Md.
Died, on Sunday, October 30th, 1899,
WILLIAM FRANCIS. infant son of Phil
ip and Della Pilkerton.
"Oh! weep not for the babe, for though
dimmed be that eye,
Which beamed with delight,
! When loved parents were nigh,
Again IL shall sparkle with boiler love,
AS 1t welcomes them home to the mansion
above. BY A FRIEND.
Died, at the residence of her son in law, p.
Cough Edelen, in the LIST district, on the
22nd day of October 1892, Mrs. ELIZA
BETH l.. CARROLL, relict of the late
Henry l. Carroll, in the rs year of her age
When time has rounded up its complete
ness in the lives of everything, the Reaper
comes 10 claim the harvest. Happy is that
life in which all the hopes Of fruition have
been accomplished and the gatherer gamers
into the great Eternity the fnllness of every
promise. The subject of this tribute had
lived long life of usefulness filed with
every Christian virtue and has gone TO her
reward.
The war had its blightiug effects upon
many households in our old county, and
on none more heavily than the old home
at Susquehanna. Many there are who
remember the sweet and princely hospital
ify dispensed at this old home, and the
gentle kindliness of her we now mourn
gave pleasure to every guest
To those who loved her best, we offer
our heartfelt coincidence but, in doing so.
we remind them that for q life so we'll
spentin charity to AL, there must be hap
piness beyond in which life they may hope
to be united with her.
ain vain shalt thou, or any call
The spirits from their golden day
Except like them, thou too canst say
My spirit is at peace with all"
Died, at the same residence, on the oath
day Of October. 1892, EDWIN CARROLL,
SON Of William Fl. and Lucy Carroll, both
deceased, in the 11th year Of his age.
Death fingered in this household ana
took one whose life was in the bud. Some
times the Reaper reaps the flowers that
grow among the ripened grain.
All who knew little Edwin loved him
for his gentle and manly department Left
an orphan at an early age he was reared
By kind relatives who learned to love him
as their own, and who are sorrowing at his
untimely death. Gods providence is in.
scrutable and VIC must bow to His decree.
We know that his life was pure, but in the
beyond-God knows best.

There is nothing obscure in the etymol-

which means literally The Guided, yet
to such an extent has it been abused that
few know that it originally related 10 a
man and not to a country. In the htter
sense it has been applied to almost every
gold bearing district encountered in
America since the discovery and thero

AS early as the 10Th century il served
TO designate an imaginary region abound

where upon the Isthlnus of Panama,
near its western boundary but prior TO

WASHINGTON, February 2O.-Nearly
every one OF our United States Senators
has had life of ups aud downs. Sepa-
Tor sherman worked on a canal as a sur
yrvOr and his first speculation In a boat
load Of salt turned out badly. Allison
made barely living at the law before
he went 20 Ohio, and Gal" Brice, rich
IS be now IS, pegged away for ten wears
in debt before he made the lucky stroke
which formed the foundation OF his for
time. PhiletuS Sawyer had to skimn
and save during the first twenty wears
of his business life, and Leland Stan
ford, who is worth II hundred million
dollars to-day, thought the whole world
was going TO smash when the fire came
which burned up all his private papers
and books in his little law Office In a
country town in Wisconsin.
There IS scarcely q man In the United
States Senate who has not made and
lost fortunes or the chances to make
them. Senator Teller has been within
an ace OF being millionaire half a
dozen different times during his life.
and Stewart and Jones, the Senators
from Nevada, have had lives Of wonder
ful adventures. When Senator Stewart
left the Senate some years ago he was
supposed TO be worth five million dol
lars, which he had made in mining, and
be has made fortunes as mining
lawyer. He made big thing
out Of the Comstock lode and
for one mining case he got a
fee in stock which Melted him 500. 900.
lie has lost his whole fortune again and
again, but he is said TO be rich man
today, and he owns the SIPS, 900 house

them, aud he bought all the goods he
could with the extra 500 he had left
and borrowed $1,000 more from his mer-
chant friend and put that into goods.
DE now had his boats and 81, GOO worth
OF goods, and he moved with these up
the river TO Marysville. Here he left
the boats in charge OF his assistant
and rode across the country, intend
Ing to go to the mining camps and
see just how much demand
there was for the goods before he took
them further inland. He could get a
good price for them at Marysville, but
he expected TO get good deal more for
them at the mines. He made twelve
miles the first day and stopped over
night at ranch. That night terrible
storm came up, and the rain poured In
sheets for two days.
when FELTON, got back to Marysville
he found the country about it covered
with water, and that his man who was
watching his boats had barely escaped
with his life. He had been sleeping on
the banks OF the river, and when the
flood came had only been able TO save
himself by climbing a tree, and the
boats had been swamped and carried
away by the flood. Here was Felton's
fortune gone again, and he was now
$4,000 worse off than nothing. He went
back to his merchant friend at Sacra-
mento, and the man generously told him
that he had made 81, 900 out OF him any
how, and that he could pay him when
he got ready.
TRICK LOST.
SIT was not long, however, before ne
was on his feet again, and in q short
time redeemed his obligation. For
some time his life went on with similar
up and downs, until at last he managed
to save enough to give him capital to
work with, and from that time on his
progress was rapid. He speculated in
mines and real estate, always acting on
the square, but taking the advantages
which his good business judgment gave
him, and he made fortune. lie had
at one time part of the famed Com
stock Lodge, which afterward made so
many people wealthy. He had given
good price per foot for 1t, but though he
had found some pay dirt in the claim 1t
was comparatively small, and in con-
nection with his partner, he sold the
whole for $4,000 Shortly after this
the wonderful vein was discovered, and
under the very claim which he sold for
this amount was found its richest yield.
1t is safe 10 say that S100,000,000 were
taken out from under the spot which he
sold for less than $500, 900.
at is something to have had exper-
ierceS like these. 1t is something to
have made and lost fortune. 1t is some
thing TO be a millionaire United States
Senator, but it is great deal more for
a man to go through all these exper-
fences and to retain the same practical
common sense and the same freedom
from conceit and love for his fellow
men that he had when ne was in the
beginning Of his career. And this, !"
concluded the congressman, sis the case
with our new California Senator, Mr..
FELTON,. He is one of the few men
know whom fame, riches and reputa-
ton have not spoiled" +. q. c.
