The following as to the death of
Stephen A. Buxton, announced three
weeks ago, is clipped from the Baptist
Visitor, published at Mr.. Buxton 5
late home:
Sunday evening, March 8, the sad
news was announced that "Father Bux-
ton" had entered into rest. Just after
the church bells had stopped ringing,
the heavenly summons came.
His sickness was of short duration,
less than, week; but he seemed to sink
from the beginning. His work was
finished and he wasready to go. Father
Buxton was born at Londonderry, VT,
Jan 16, 1926, and lived there until
1887, when he removed to Woodbine,
Iowa, and from there be removed to
Guthrie three years ago. He was con-
verted and united with the Baptist
church when sixteen years of age and
has always lived consistent Christian
life. For twenty-five years in Ver-
mont he taught Bible class, and all
his life has been a student of the. Word
and regular and prompt attendant
'unon al the services of Gods house.
Father Buxton was the pastors
friend, and was anxious both to do
what he could for his personal comfort
and to cooperate with him in Christian
work in the community. He was
friend of the poor, many Of whom can
testify of words of kindness and en-
couragement he has spoken, and of
deeds of love that he has performed,
He was married Nov. 16, 1851, to
Laura S. Haynes. The widow sur
wives him. Three sols have been born
to them, two Of whom are living: Dr.
L. Haynes. Buxton and Rev. Albert
Buxton The funeral took place at
the First Baptist Church, Feb. 5, at
2 o'clock. Alarge number Of sincere
friends and :mourners were present.
Beautiful flowers :decked the casket.
The choir rendered choice and appro-
pirate music. Rev. Boggess of the
Christian Church assisted in the servi-
ces. e The pastor, L. H. Holt preach
ed using for texts, Rev. 14:13, "Bless-
ed are the dead who die in the Lord"
and Ps. 116:t5, precious in the sight
ofthe Lord is the death of his saints"

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and uutil the last few years was
opposed to be incurablc. For areat
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with To-
cal treatment, pronounced it incurable
Science has proven catrrrh to be a con

PURE FOOD EXPOSITION.
Curiosity on TiptOe to Zee What
1t Will Be Like.
Shows Given in Boston, New York and
Chicago Will Be Duplicated Here.
Ladies interested.

When San Francisco takes up a show in
earnest, if the affair has merit, it is bound
to prove success. This week both ex-
hibitors and the public, especially the
latter, viii begin to realize that for the
first time the great food shows of Boston,
New York and Chicago are to be dupli-
Gated here to an extent that will demon
strate that San Francisco, in the matter of
novel exhibitions, is not behind the other
great cities of the Republic.
Mrs. Mary ]. Lincoln, the noted expert
in household cookery, has arrived and will
lecture on cooking each afternoon to the
ladies during the continuance of the food
show at the Mechanics Pavilion. She has
delighted large audiences at the Eastern
food exhibitions.
This lady states that from the social
attentions she has received, and the great
interest shown here in the subject of
household cookery, she anticipates that
her audiences next week will be as
numerous and as enthusiastic as any she
has ever addressed.
On Saturday morning Mrs. Lincoln. bv
invitation of the Charming Club, read a
paper on household management to
large gathering of ladies, representing the
most intellectual and progressive element
in San Francisco society. Her grace of
manner. pleasant delivery, and complete
grasp of the subject she discoursed upon
created most favorable impression. Mrs.
Lincoln's afternoon lectures are only one
among the attractions to be presented at
the food exposition. These lectures will
be delivered each afternoon, beginning on
Tuesday next. Mrs. Lincoln will have the
assistance of Mrs. ]. II. Lee, who will
illustrate the most attractive methods of
table-laying and the serving of food. For
this purpose sumptuously furnished
dining room has been arranged at the
pavilion.
The other attractions at the Food Expo
sition include varied display of food
products and articles of household utility
by local and Eastern manufacturers and
merchants, some of which are marvels of
artistic work; afternoon and evening con-
certs by Casassa's famous band, and living
pictures on subjects that have never been
presented here. When it is considered
that all these attractions and no end of
samples of palatable food will be provided
for twenty-five cents, it will be surprising
if the Mechanics Pavilion is not crowded
during the continuance of the Food Expo
SitiOn.

Religious Belief.

A recent query cannot better be answered
than by quoting the legislation adopted by the
Sovereign Grand Lodge, I. o. o. F., at the ses-
sion held in Chattanooga, Tenn, September.
1894:
"ResoEUed, That Odd Fellowship, while it is
free from anything of q sectarian nature has
always held belief in Supreme Being. the
Creator and Preserver of the Universe as a card
1nal principle, and has maintained the father
hood OF God as a doctrine of equal importance
with the doctrine of the brotherhood of
man. Concerning the qualities and attributes
of the Divine Father. 1t has never undertaken
to pronounce with authority, nor does it ques-
ton the moral character and good citizenship
OF some OF those who declare that they have no
belief in Supreme Being. 1t simply exercises
the rlght OF all voluntary associations to pre-
scribe the qualifications of membersbip in its
own circle It has always insisted, and viii in
slst, that "bellef in such Supreme Being is nee
essay to attain or retain a place within onr
ranks: No one should offer himself for mem
bersh1p IN our order who has not this belief:
no one should be accepted without it; and no
member who loses his faith to such Supreme
with u.s."
