The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1893-07-20

hdlg was uragOOneQ INTO the en-
dorsement of Mr.. Benson for post
master at Frostburg--a gentleman
noted more for his devotion to Cor
man and opposition to McKaig
than anything else-thus describes
the situation with reference to APP
pointments under the Collector of
internal Revenue.
Certain places in the gift of the
Collector of Internal Revenue and
also at the disposal of the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue are to
be given to Democrats of the Sixth
district. Congressman McKaig
claims these places for his friends,
and the men whom he wishes to see
appointed are not approved by Sen
atOr German, who wants the same
places for some of his old-time
heLchman, who have never been
noted for enthusiasm in behalf Of
Gen. McKaig. The. Congressman
insists on his rights, the Senator
insists that he will boss the job and
thus the present trouble began.
Mr.. McKaig is holding out and, as
the days pass by, his indignation
at what he calls the unjust
and unwarranted interference
in his district threatens to burst
forth into open warfare. Senator
German is wrathy, but he smiles
serenely to his usual quiet way, and
expects to accomplish his purpose. =
In Memory of Sabina M. Rush.
Sabina NJ. Rush, beloved wife of
James II. Rush, died at O'Clock
a. m. at her home, Mt. Holly, on
Friday, July Z, 1898, after pro-
tracted illness of six months.
She was first stricken with la
grippe, which finally terminated in
lung trouble and dropsy, and after
weeks of untold suffering was re-
leased by the messenger of death,
to enjoy the pleasure and happi-
ness of that better world, which she
longed so much to inherit.
The deceased was born near Falls
City in Fayette county, Pa, Feb
ruary 20, 1925; was baptized by the
Rev. Wynn at little Kentuck and
united with the Baptist church
May 10, 1910, and remained a
steadfast member of her favorite
church for over SO years, she always
manifesting great interest in the
church aud Sabbath school, and her
life may truly be said to have lived
for others.
Whether in the home or in the
chucrh she was ever the same I'M
selfish creature, willing in the dis
charge Of every duty: more consid-
crate and kind for others, than to
herself, with a mind we'll stored
with intelligence, with heart con
secrated to her Divine Master.
The grace Of God seemed to be
signallv revealed in her at all times
and under all circumstances. Surely
hers was cons ecrated and blessed
death, and so with the brightest
and strongest faith she passed over
the river, not clark" to her, and
rejoined her loved ones on the other
shore. We can thank God that
she has left us this memoay of I'M
wavering faith, "though he Stay me,
yet will | trust him. And while
our hearts are very sad and lonely,
we can look above and know that
she stands forever among those who
have come "out of great tribula-
tom in that heavenly home, where
there is mo more crying, neither
any more pain and though our
hearts ache with a sense of our If
reparable loss, yet we are COM
forted, remembering that with her
Ito live was Christ's and to die was
gain"
May the comforts of our holy re-
ligion be vouchsafed to,the bereaved
husband and all needed grace be
given to the stricken and sorrow
ing children to whom she was so
fondly devoted, and for whom she
prayed so earnestly that they might
meet her in heaven and be a re-
united and unbroken family.
with us her name shall live
Embalmed with ali orr hearts can give
Our praises and our Tears"
The funeral services took place
from the Blooming Rose church on
Sunday forenoon at II o'clock and
was largely attended by friends and
neighbors, fully demonstrating the
esteem in which she was held in
the community in which she lived.
The floral offerings that had been
placed upon the casket by kind and
loving hands were very fine.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by the Rev. Knots, of the
NJ. +. church, there being no MN
lister of her own church within reach
ut the time of her death.
