ONE SERVICE OVER BOTH.

Mrs. Pond and Her Daughter Die Within
Two Days of Each Other.
The circumstances of the memorial
sermon preached on Sunday by DR.. Brett
in memory of Alkaline Pratt Pond, widow
Louisa A., were unique, inasmuch as the
mother and daughter were taken sick at
the same time with bronchial pneumonia,
and their deaths occurred within two
days of each other. the mother dying on
April "a and the daughter on April 26.
The only surviving member OF the family
is their son and brother. Theodore F.
POND. DR.. Brett was away at the tim OF
the funeral, being at the meeting of the
Synod in Michigan, so he preached the
memorial service on Sunday, which
was the first day after his return. Both
ladies were active members in the Ber-
gen Reformed Church. Mrs. Pond has
been an invalid for the last few years
but Miss Pond continued her active dut-
les as Il teacher in the Sunday school,.
She was a member of the Kings Daugh-
tiers and the Women's Missionary Society.
The last service she attended before her
illness was the rally of the Christian En-
deavor Societies at the First Presbyter-
ian Church on April Is.
The family came to Jersey City thirty
five years ago, and lived for a time on
Academy street. Then they bought the
property on the southw west corner OF Ken
! sington and Bergen avenue and nave lived
there ever since. Mrs. Pond was
the daughter Of Zadoc Pratt of Pratts-
vile. Greene county, New York. He
was OF one time the partner OF Jay Gould
in one of mis- earlier enterprises. He was
well known throughout the Catskill
Mountain region. and ~bequeathed TO the

USE OF SOAP AND WATER.

A Good Wash Is Necessary Sometimes
Among Wealthy Patients.
"To take q thorough %scrubbing would
seem like a curious prescription to give
to a respectable adult" said an eminent
physician to one OF his confidential
friends, ''but l assure you that 10 some
smoothly-worded and sugar-coateo Iasn-
ion | have been obliged TO recommend
a good washing to more than one OF my
wealthy patents. IL is really dreadful
to call it by no more disagreeable
term, the discoveries that a physician
sometimes makes. l often feel like
dumping some Of the persons VINO
need my services into n stream or run
ming water or a big tank with orders
to nut themselves TO soak until many
Of the LAYERS of the accumulated unIidi-
ness have had time TO become ~looseued;
for, as a matter of fact. q single washing
would by no means answer the purpose.
and it is not only The eyes that tell me
this. There is au odor of u~ncleanliness
that others thar the physician can not
fail to recognize.
'sThere is such a luxury in bathing that
it is a wonder that any one neglect5 1t
ever for the comfort of 1t. to say nothing
of it's Importance in the matter Of health.
Persons who suffer with bad circulation
should give special attention TO the care
OF the feet. A dash of cold water every
morning would do more to keep the
system in good condition than almost
anything else that could be done. Even
where the health is good this is au excel
lent practice, AS it prevents WEAKNESS and
keeps the circulation in proper order.
Those who nave tried the experiment for
health's sake have found that, even after
the conditions were restored. it was
worth while to continue it as a luxury !"

cigars. They then began to drill the
safe, but had not gone far when they
abandoned it. probably on account of a
warning they received of the approach OF
a car. 1t is not known at what time the

and two O'Clock. The first one
to discover the attempt WAS Mr.. Camp

ready for market and Investigated. As
soon as he earned what had been done
he informed Mr.. Campbell. who. in his
turn, informed Captain McKaig, of the
Fourth precinct. The boy sleeps over
the store, but he says that he heard no
unusual noises during the night. The
burglars left no clew.
