Resolutions Of Respect.

Whereas. The Frances +. Willard Union
Of fremont has by divine will been called to
submit to severed link in its chain Of MEN,

Mrs. Carrie +. Phillips, has passed through the
gates ajar"; therefore
ResOiDed, That though we sadly miss the
helpful presence and willing services Of our
organist, we know that her pure and beautiful
character has left an impress deep, and we are
the better for the fraternal tie that bound her
heart to ours in this noble work for God and
Home and Every Land"
Res0{red That while we of the W. {. T.
L. deeply feel this separation, we realize that
the church she served as 0rganist, the library
association Of which she was secretary and
treasurer, and the entire community sustained
a serious loss when this loyal friend, so uplift-
ing in purpose and principle, so earnest Ia
every effort for right and progress, passed to
her Heavenly home, and we can truly say,
though her years were few ,"she hath done W hat
she could"
ResO,Ued. That in this season of sorrow
and bereavement we deeply sympathize with
the devoted husband whose happy home life
has been so suddenly broken, with the parents,
sisters and other relatives of our departed sis
ter knowing full well that He who tempers
the wind to the shorn lamb will sustain them
In this dark hour.
ResOlUed That these resolutions be entered
upon our Union records and printed In the
ELLSWORTH AMERICAN. and that COPY be
sent to the husband and parents Of her whom
we thus hold in tender memoriam.

Mr.. Crawford has lived most Of his life
abroad and the scenes Of his books are nat
uraly laid there, not from any particular lik-
ing for those countries. but simply because
he knows more about those places than
any others, and because the works sell the
better for having such background
Literature is to him simply q money
making business, aud his own views Of
life and religion find no expression what
ever in his works. He studies up what
will please the people, not himself. and
herein We find the key note of his success.
For example, although his books are
many of them permeated with the flavor
Of theosophy and mysticism, he has not
himself any faith in those beliefs, but de-
nounces the whole doctrine as trash. and
Madam Blavatsky as a fraud. Speaking
Of the latter he said he introduced her in
TO his book because he wanted to have
that mystic element in it. Not" he re-
marked. THAT there was anything par,icu
larly mystic about Madam Blayatsky per

pounds and was more what | would call "a
triumph of the flesh
OF his own private life he said very little
but we could infer that there has been
considerable romance about that. A young
man who would follow girl from New
York, where he had first met her. away to
the shores Of the Bosphoru-, where her
father had been sent on government bus
mess with a fixed intention of persuad
ins her to marry him, deserves to succeed.

| Editors Womda's Journal:

New York in regard to relations of mothers

ionary work TO be done before our laws

Golden Rule, and, until then, would sug-
gest that the motto of our State be
changed
Chap. o. Sec. |. II II minor Is under four

guardian, but a guardian for such minor,
named by the deceased father in his will, shall
be appointed II suitable.
| 1t appears from this that the dead father
has more control over the child than the
living mother; and, as the judge takes pre-
cedence of the mother, he Is to decide IL
the guardian is suitable person
Sec. 20. No married woman shall be a guar
dian, and If a female guardian marries, her
authority as such ceases. nor shall her husband
be guardian in her right.
But a father may marry as many times
as he peases, and not be deprived of the
control of his children. Would this be
the law If half of our Legislature were
women:
Chap. l03, Sec. 2. A widow shall not be en-
dowed OF wild lands OF " hch her husband dies
seized, nor of wild lands conveyed by him,
although afterwards cleared; but she may be
endowed in any wood lot, or other land used
with farm or dwelling house, although not
cleared.

Life o. an italian Signalmap,

A signalman in Italy has remarkably
easy time of it in comparison with his
British brethren. This is of course part
ly due to the greater leisureliness of rail
way traffic i'll the peninsula, but is partly
also the outcome of the conditions under
which he is required or permitted to ply
his calling. He is always married if
he We're a bachelor he would not be en-
ployed- his little cabin beside the
railway is also his home. He is free
during the daytime, at least. to engage
in any other occupation he may desire
