4 SAD DEATH.
A Young Wife Dies Suddenly at
Her Home Near Berlin.

Mrs. Annie +. Gray. wife Of Thorn
as Gray, Jr., died at her home near
Berlin Saturday morning, aged %
years. She was the only daughter Of
Stephen ii. CULLEN prosperous farm
er OF this place, and had been mar
ried not quite five years. Though she
had been in i'll health for some time.
her death was sudden and severe
shock to her loved ones. She told her
mother what she desired for dinner,
and said, Mother am going to sleep;
you may call me when dinner is ready"
In few moments her mother noticing
she lay so very still called her, but re-
ceived no answer. With one hand I'm
der her weary head she slept the ''bless-
ed sleep from which none ever wake to
weep" So peaceful and calm was
that sleep, that for many hours we
could not believe it was death. Not
until the physician had used every
means in his power to find spark of
life could we say, ''she is dead" Fun
eral services were conducted at the
home by the Rev. Mr. Davis, of the
Southern NJ. + Church. the esteem
in which she was held was shown by
the large concourse of friends who fol-
lowed her remains to their last resting
place in Buckingham Cemetery.
Heavens justice in the sudden shock
that parts us from our loved one is
yelled from human ken. but when we
remember so twas willed where will
and power are one" we bow with IN
shaken faith in the goodness and wis
dom of Him who doeth all things
well" Young as she was, death had
no terrors for her, she waited cheerful
ly for the summons to her eternal home.
Her domestic life was fragrant with
love and tenderness. As wife and
mother she was loving and atiectionate;
as a friend unseltish and sincere. She
has gone from our sight, but not from
our hearts and our memory. The
memory Of her sweet disposition fingers
as the twilight fingers when the sun is
set.

"As to the advantage OF . college

without the knowledge and training to
be acquired at college as if a full courss

that these men, even those of most
marked success, would have done bet

They might not have risen higher, but
the rise would probably have been
easier, and, on the whole, more salts

the college course IS extremely valua-

mental powers; how to reason from

concentrate his energies; how to adapt
himself quickly to suddenly changed
conditions. Whoever would succeed in
real life must get this training some

set it in college than while sweeping

1T is my Judgment, based upon care

takes full classical course is apt to
win greater success in life than the one
who does not. But l am not prepared

ject in life is the making of money.

knowledge of classical literature is a
better all-round man than the one who
has no such knowledge; / think he can
enjoy life better. 1t seems perfectly
clear to me that he is much better

citizenship; but, in the narrow sense,
do not know that he would be bet
ter broker or grocer or manufacturer
do believe, however, that the present
tendency is toward extension rather
than contraction of classical study in
our colleges, and that the college grad
nate of the future will be a thorough
master of the literatures of the past"
Mr.. Henry Clews, the Wall street
broker, who is as well known In his
line as any of the men above quoted
in theirs, disagrees with them most en-
phatically as to the advantages of col

better, for all know. They may be
able to grasp business and scientific
problems as readily, but they will not
be nearly so capable OF telling what
they know or what they think as the
older chaps. Why? Because Of the
decline of the debate as means of
training. There were debating socie-
ties in college when / was a student,
and all the brightest men belonged

Nowadays few college students would
think of STOPPING so low as to belong
