Obituary.

Died at her residence near Bra
shear, Mrs. Berdie Pierce, wife OF
Orville Pierce and eldest daughter
of Henry Shouse of Wilson Tp.,
aged twenty years. She had been
a. great sufferer for many months
with consumption, having been
confined to bed, unable to rise, for
nine months She bore her great
suffering with Christian fortitude;
often expressing her regret for be-
ing so much trouble and sorrow to
her friends, and when she saw re-
covery was impossible her prayer
was that God would take her to
himself that she might be at rest.
She leaves a large circle of rela-
tives and many sincere friends to
mourn, but they mourn not as one
without hope, but the loss of a
loving wife and daughter, and q
dear friend whom they expect tc
meet again in a brighter, better
world. Funeral was conducted al
the M. q. Church, south at Bra
shear, by the Rev. Hamilton after
which her remains were laid tC

a good ground for believing that hundreos
of people have been killed for insurance
money and the murderers have not been
apprehended. Were it not for public sentl-
ment there is little doubt but what the
insurance companies could adopt precau-
lions that would greatly lessen crime In
this direction. But the public, those IN

cannot be abandoned until something
better if possible, may be devised. AS

and comparative immunity from such hor-

Do insurance companies take sufficient
precautions in placing large amounts of
life insurance. Do their agents attempt
to ascertain whether the one insured is in
position to carry large insurance and to
pay the premiums? Are not the regula-
tons of the companies and competition
such that the agent feels that he has done
all required if he has got the first pre-
MUM? 1t would not seem strange if these
things are so: indeed it is difficult to see
how they can be obviated. Yet the crimi-
nal easily collects the insurance upon the
life of his victim in more instances than
we are aware Of Fifty years ago, DIR.

While President Cleveland is not in
fectcd with financial heresy and is able to
partially restrain his secretary's predilec-
tions in that direction, the idea that
these two are planning currency scheme
doesn't arouse any great enthusiasm
among the practical financiers OF the coun-
try. 1t cannot be forgotten that Secretary
Carlisle is, or has been, free silver man
and that President Cleveland, though
prcjudiced in favor of gold has shown a
lamcntable ignorance of the needs of the
government. Had his tariff scheme pre-
vailed, had not traitors German, ct ais.
stood in his path, he would have been
obliged, beyond the shadow of doubt, to
issue bonds to the amount of 5000, 00O, =
900 instead of 500, 900, 900, much of
which is to pay the running expenses of
the government. Whatever scheme Cleve-
land and Carlisle may propose. it will be
regarded with suspicion until it has been
passed upon by those in whose judgment
the public has confidence.

idea when he preached his sermon OF sun
day evening, that it would be so widely
noticed His idea was that it was his
duty as a pastor to warn the young men
of his congregation of what seemed TO
him to be real danger He said he was
not called to preach of the horrors to be
found in savage communities, or to abuse
the Jews, but simply to present what
seemed to him to be living truths regard
ing practical and living issues that and
nothing more.
He disclaimed any idea of holding up
South Portland as an example OF how
bad place can be. His idea was exactly
the reverse. South Portland is delight
full place in which to live, and the people
are good and kind, but he felt that it was
his duty to warn them that it might not
always be as it is at present, unless care
was taken to keep temptation from
young men.
The indications are very strong that
the church will stand back of the pastor,
and that if he keeps within bounds, and
he probably will, that he will receive a
very cordial support in his efforts to keep
certain things out of the place There Is
probably not resident of South Portland
who is anxious to have the class so vigor-
ously described by Mr.. Ross in his sermon,
Sunday evening, get in the habit OF going
there to hold exhibitions of the sort
that ended in the defeat of Terry the
Mick" but the question is where the earn
est preacher will stop in what he regards
as work of reform. AS was remarked
by bright girl to companion as they
waited for the boat, yesterday, "Of course
we don't want to go to smuggling matches,
and of course we don't want liquor sold
in our place, but a dance once in while
is nice, and how can we have progressive

If there is any one thing demonstrated
by the fall elections it is that the infalli-
bility which many have supposed doth
hedge about political bossism is myth.
When the people take the helm the boss
can do nothing more profitable than to
fold his hands and await opportunity.
When the people allow the craft to drift,
then the boss stands ready to take the
helm. But none of his efforts, his schemes,
however carefully laid, are enduring This
fact was especially noticeable in the states
Michigan where the Democrats had car
red accommodating to an extent that
they supposed would ensure them con-
troll. at least of the congressional delega-
tions. As well attempt to turn back the
tide with mop There will always be
fair weather sailors swashbucklers i'll
time of peace and the prayerful in time
of danger There will always be shrewd
men ready to take advantage of the mar
kets to speculate, always men who will turn
to their political advantage the apathy of
the people, men who are willing to devote
time and energies to politics and who
naturally think their services are worthy
of reward When the people don't trouble
themselves about politics those who do
will see to it that they get their pay. But
no man is smart enough to hold for in
definite period the suffragcs of ward,
city, a county or state under his thumb.
No district can be gcrrymandered into the
keeping of any political party CT political

OUR LOCAL DR.. PARKHURST.
Great Interest Excited in the Crusade Of Rev.
!. G. Ross.
portland Press.

"Our local DR.. Parkhurst, is what a
South Portland man called Rev. l. G.
Ross, yesterday, and it may well be
doubted if there was more talked
about man in this section of the State.
The people of South Portland We're Won
dering, as one said, "What will the par
son do next" and there was "A decided
curiosity manifest concerning his next ser
mon. 1t was generally understood that he
would not approve of dancing, but as
was remarked in store on Commercial
street, What social excuses will he find
to take exception to in the quiet commun-
ity of South Portland
The people of the village, and in fact the
citizens generally seemed inclined yester-
day, to take sides with Mr.. Ross, at least
to this degree, that the so-called sparring
exhibition ought not to have been given.
There was one exception, that of a man
who said that it was a good thing to have
TERRY tn Mick" licked, no matter under
what circumstances, and that the
scrap of the other evening very likely
saved the town the disgrace of another
scene like that of last summer, when
Terry the Mick, " won a sort of series of
fights in the same day.
1t was admitted that Mr.. Ross had at
least killed such exhibitions in Cape Eliza
beth, and that will perhaps satisfy the re-
verend gentleman. who protested against
it from the first when it was proposed
to grant the asked for license. The bold
position assumed by Mr.. Ross if well sus-
tanned, will be likely to end all taking of
chances" no matter what the occasion
may be. On this point Mr.. Ross holds
very strongly that the idea of getting
something for next to nothing. is in reality
all there is to gambling, and that it should
be frowned down, not encouraged by the
church.
Mr.. Ross said yesterday that h had nc
