DEEP IN THE SEA.

Deep IN a sea no plummet ever sounded
A buried city sleeps in its unfathomed grave
The storms of time surge on and beat above IL;
Stately and sad it rests beneath the restless
wave.
There, when the tropic Gains lie still and
brooding,
The mariner may lean and see the towers be-
low
And hear the faroff bells forever tolling
Above the noiseless streets where none may
come and go.
Beneath the storms and tides of this life's pas
sion
There rests untouched shadowy country
lying fair.

And count the blessed hours we walked to-
gether there.
lhangeless in change, at peace beneath the
tempests,
CLEAN white and still the cloisters of that
past for me.
Vainly these waves of fate chafe on unceas

Keep thou those sacred gates, o ever faith

We do so many things automatically
in our days that nobody will be sur
prised to hear that an ingenious mocha
nician has invented a machine to feed
horses by clockwork. 1t is so arranged
that one or 100 horses may be fed at
any hour of the day or night without
the aid of any person. The horse's morn
ing feed is placed in the manager at
night, and the boxes are opened by
clockwork at any hour desired The
clock is so arranged that when the
weight has run down to a certain point
it releases a heavy beam, which, drop
ping its momentum, by means of cord
Or bell wire, pulls pin which releases
the manger, and this, by its own weight
and that of its contents, turns over with
the open side in front, SO that the food
is within convenient reach of the horse

white or light tinted, and the outside is
either lace in the shape of the parasol or OF

of the parasols have shrrings of chiffon set
on in a manLerto form star when the para

are prettiest.

So, tod. V, according to this beautiful
and laudable custom, we lay aside the
regular routine Of duties and the Ordl-

under the mercies of the Almighty God
to give thanks in his name for the

to worship with thankful hearts to-day
the Giver of all good, and to vow new
vows OF conservation to his service in
acknowledgment Of his bountiful bless

the people meet and praise God in wor-

civil liberty, for the rich harvests from
our fields OF toll and for the security in
this land OF peace and plenty which the
religion of the slain Lamb of God
vouchsafes alike to the good and the
bad, the holy and the unholy, the
righteous and the unrighteous. To all
appropriately comes the admonition,

A. 4. Ryon Attributes Strange
Statements to Calderhead.

From Wednesdays Daily.
About $50 persons were in the
court room last night to hear A. H,
Ryon, Populist candidate for repre-
sentative, in his advertised "answel
to Calderhead." Mr.. Ryon is an
amiable looking old gentleman with
Pefferian whfskers, a weak voice and
hands that make about 20 motions in
circles around his head to every
sentence.
His "answer" to Calderhead was re-
markable for its method. He went
on the principle Of first attributing to
Mr.. Calderhead words that he nor
any Republican on earth never utter
ed and then in rambling way with
out conclusion or argument pretend
ing to "answer" them. The method
was not only poor politics but it was
dishonest and Mr.. Ryon showed him
self to be entirely unworthy Of the
position to which he aspires. The
speech was the poorest, least logical
and with less force than any deliver
ed in Abilene during the campaign
and lost Ryon many votes. The
thing for Mr.. Ryon to do if he wants
to run for office to stay off the
rostrum.

After long illness, borne with true
Christian fortitude, Mrs. Aaron
Wilmer died this morning, aged 2S
years, II months, 80 days. She has
been lowering between life and death
for many days and her demise was
not unexpected. Mrs. Wilmer was a
devoted wife and had many friends
in this city, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilmer were married nine years ago.
Her maiden name was Nellie Hendrix,
and her childhood home was in
Illinois. She was faithful member
Of the Methodist church Of this city
and died in the full hope Of blessed
beyond. Her nearest relatives on
earth were her husband and an adopted
mother in Illinois.
Short funeral services will be held
at the house at 1890 tomorrow, Rev.
E. +. Tarbill officiating, and the re-
mains will be taken on the noon train
to Pennsylvania for interment. Mr..
Wilmer will accompany the body
