John ArriSOn.

Our beloved Father, John Arrison, the sub
jert Of this memorial passed peacefully away
after II short illness at his home near Calvert
Nd, on Sept. 23 1895 in the S3rd year of his
aye. He was Il well known and respected
citizen. He and his wtfo cnmc from Bucks
County, Pa. to Maryland about "a years ago
They were both converted the following win
ter and joined the church at Wesley Chapel,
circuit. For % years they resided in that
neighborhood. In the year of 1866, they
moved to the Ferry Farm on Bohemia manor
and united with the manor church. After re-
siding there II years they removed to his late
residence, uniting with the Zion Church in
the year 1871 where he resided at the time of
his decease. His body was laid at rest in
Rose Bank Cemetery by the side of his be-
loved wife our dear mother who departed
this life September l4th 1888. He leaves six
children and a loved and devoted wife to
whom he was united in the year 1887, and
many near relatives and friends to mourn his
loss. His piety was OF that cheerful type
which so much recommends the religion Of
Jesus, and when we realize that his sweet
smile will no more greet us, and the tender
voice is hushed forever in the home, that the
vacant chair will no more hold his precious
form, our hearts are filled with grief and sad
ness. Yet we feel that our loss is his eternal
gain, and do not mourn as those without hope.
Our consolation is that our dear Father is
freed from all trouble and sorrow. No more
pain, no moro suffering; nothing but eternal
happiness in the home Of the redeemed will
be his. X.X.

The limbs of my ancestral tree
Quite fast are falling now,
Obedient to the laws decree,
In silent awe they bow.
Eleven branches had it,
Vigorous. hale, robust,
Five remain, for six are gone
To earth, and unto dust.
Not long can these thereon survive
Their brothers, sisters, when
Tho average of their years of life
Fen most three score and ten.
Healthy this tree, when these old limbs
AT such an age live on,
Its verdurc grace and symmetry
Were grand to look upon.
| wonder how it yet will look
In years still coming on,
When you and will form its top
Instead of those agone.
Had we not better train our shape
From rarthward bend to sky,
Preserve its form and symmetry.
For strangers critic eye.
In mem sry oft turn my eyes
Upon this grand old tree,
Zach branch an arm stretched to the
skies,
In surveillance see.
In the old church ut Cherry Hill,
In years gone by I've heard
These branches bearing Heavens good
will,
BY heavenly brcczcs stirred.
One fine old bough from which Isprang
I'm sure I've heard 1t pray.
'Unbroken may this circle be
In better land some day"
hope that prayer may answered be,
That when with earth we're done,

To higher life, that endless bliss,
Succeeds this ceuseess strife.

To lead noble life.

The Western Lines Meet

CHICAGO. May "a meeting OF the
western lines was held today and steps
We're taken to prevent the decentralization
that has been creeping into the rates ever
since the Inauguration OF the home-seek-
ers' excursion. The present east-bound
rate of $40 from Denver to the Missouri
river expires by limitation on May 10th.
1t was decided that all other cut rates,
whether made because of the homeseek-
ers' excursion or because of the Denver
Missouri river rate. should be stopped on
that date. No further cut rates will be
allowed and steps will be taken to prevent
any reduction in the regular tariffs
through the business of the two addition
al excursions, which are yet to be- run.
Before the meeting convened there was
some fear that the Union Paci tic would
not abandon its intention OF making the
$40 rate from Omaha to Denver as well as
from Denver to Omaha. The Union Pa
citic however. showed that it had no in
tention OF demoralizing rates.
Vice. President Stlbbs of the Southern
Pacific had q long conference today with
General Passenger Agent Lomax of the
Union Pacific over the California rate
situation. Some time ago q local associ-
alton was formed in CALIFORNIA; for the
purpose Of removing decentralization and
of keeping the market in healthful con-
dition. The Union Pacific declined to
join the asso citation. 1t was found. how
ever, that the association could not be
m ade much of success with the Union
Pacific on the outside. Mr.. Stubs was
anxious to have it become member,
but his efforts today did not avail to any
gr eat extent.

SHE RAN AWAY WITH JOSE
Elopement of Young Girl From
Santa Clara
MiddIe-aged r1an Who Is Said to Have
Daughter in Los Angeles
the Lothario

SAN JOSE, May 9.-This evening Miss
Maud Moore, an estimable young lady of
Santa Clara. 20 years of age, eloped with
Jose Ramon Arguello, disspated man
of middle age, who was divorced from a
former wife nine years ago. He has a
daughter at Los Angeles who is as old as
the girl he eloped with.
Arguello has no occupation and was
known as a lounger around saloons. Miss
Moore is the only daughter of G. e.
Moore. the city engineer of Santa Clara.
Her parents knew that the girl wa in
fatuated with Arguello, and did all they
could to prevent the marriage. Miss
Moore went out this morning to do some
shopping and did not return. and it was
learned that the couple went to San Jose
and procured marriage license and were
married.
The girl is member of the Episcopal
church at Santa Clara and never had any
bad companions OF either sex. and her in
fatuation for such character is consid-
cred very strange. Her mother is pros
trated with grief.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 9.-The city
court was crowded today when the case
of Fulton Gordon, charged with the MUIR

called. Prosecuting Attorney Thurman
cndeav ored to show the court that Cor

Mr.. Scott, who represented Governor
Brown in the prosecution, began a vigor--

GENERAL WARNER AND SILVER

General Warner, in noticing some re-
marks of The Herald yesterday regarding
Some Things the Silverites Overlook,
stated that the arguments and figures
quoted are old and have been
answered time and again. The age of
and the frequency with which the state
ments we used have been made are i'm
material. The truth loses nothing by the
telling. nor is it impaired by age. The
general and his colleague are conducting
ostensibly campaign of education, and
if our contentious were fallacious he should
have hayed them on the spot. But
neither he nor any other silverite can
controvert them, for they are fundamen.
tai, and the men who advocate 16 to do
not deal in fundamentals.
The Ohio champion of 'silver fatsm, "
in admitting that previous to 1873 only
little more than $500, 900 silver dollars
were coined. stated it made no difference
as to the amount whether it was that or
much more. as long as the law provided
for free coinage. If this is so, why in
the name of reason are himself and SYM
pathlzers proclalming so Justify the ina
bility OF the people to pay their debts be-
cause OF the insufficiency OF the circulat-
ing medium? The constant teaching of
his party has been that the amount of
silver being used is entirely inadequate
for the public needs. and hence the dis
aster and distress. II the people want
free coinage, it would not be merely to
get the words on the statute books, but
for the purpose of getting more silver dol
lars. We showed by official figures that
when they had it, only a small amount
OF dollars were coined, and therefore the
stoppage in 1873 could not produce the
evil effects claimed.
General Warner asserts in further at
tempting to get around this Ito silver
mem inconvenient truth that that was not
all The silver money turned out, but that
over $lOO 600, 900 in smaller silver coins
were issued. That is utterly irrelevant
Ahe quarrel is not over subsidiary coin,

Since 1873 morethan s570, 0o0,00a ir silver
has been added TO our coinage, Of which
about y420, 90, 600 is in standard dollars.
And there has been no interdictien of
subsidiary coinage. But in the presence
OF the undenable facts that the govern

A LOGICAL COUNCILMAN

President Teed of the city council holds
that because the rules of the police de-
partment forbid policemen criticising
their brother and superior officers they
should also be compelled to abstain from
commenting unfavorably upon acts of the
city council. The mere fact that they are
separate departments OF the municipal
government is entirely inconsequential.
Colonel Teed is almost as logical as the
late Dean Swift, who always contended
that the word fox was derived from the
word rain. He reasoned it out thusly:
rain, rain much, rain very much rain
hard or reynard-a fox.
