Animal Stories,

A notable captive made in Bound
Brook, n. j., was local bank rob-
Der. For days the officers Of the
First National bank had been
working on the case, their sus-
picions being aroused by the dis
appearance of a 500 bill. They fin
ally located the robber under the
bank, and set a trap, like we'll
placed advertising, this brought1re-
suits. A big rat was caught. The
rat had taken the 800 bill from
the cash drawer. The bill was
found later, with a hole in one cor
ner about the size of quarter. The
bold robber has been put to death
and the 500 bill patched and put
into circulation again.

A Drunken Mexican.

Mounted Officer Gravis was call
ed last night, about $3.50 o'clock, to
the rear OF 90 West Commerce
street by drunken Mexican, who
said another Mexican whom he
called Pedro Ciez had hit him on
the left arm with a stick, almost
breaking it. The officer examined
the injured member, but could
not discover any fracture, and
came to the conclusion that the
Mexican was to drunk to know
what he wanted.

Home.
A party of about $50 excursion
lists, consisting of railway conduc-
tors and their families, spent yes
terday in San Antonio. They
stopped here on their return to
Chicago from trip through Mex
leo.
There was no local committee at
the depot to meet them, and they
engaged hacks and saw the city
as best they could. They said
they saw everything in the city
and were surprised to find San
Antonio such large and beauti-
full town.
The excursion was given by the
conductors Mutual Aid and Bene-
fit association, which held its
twenty.first annual conven ton in
Chicago last November % and 80,
and the excursion left Chicago
December 1. The party is trav-
cling in special train Of five cars.
While in Mexico the ladies of
the party brought about one hun
dred parrots to take home with
them; but 1t is hardly believed
that the parrots will stand the
cold climate.
Mr.. John L. Cooper, president Of
the association, said to a LIGHT
reporter that they enjoyed the
trip most excellently. He said
Mexico is the future country and
all that she lacks now is hotels to
draw the people. He said he was
greatly pleased with San Antonio.
The party left for Galveston last
night, over the Southern Pacific.

ployed to keep special lookout for
sloplifters, and few arrests will
likely be made before the holidays

Obituary..

Died, at Escatawpa. Miss. April Is,
1895, of consumption, MARY A. WILLIAMS
SMITH, wife OF L. B. Smith.
Deceased was born in Jackson county
December 8, 1850. She became u member
Of the Recognized Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints March Is,
1879, having been among the first ones
TO embrace that faith in this port of the
State.
To remove The least shadow of r%cproach
from her name, We deem it. proper TO
state that the church to which she was II
respected member, was aad is separate
and distinct from a body of people in the
valleys Of Utah who style themselves
Latter Day Saints. The principles of the
church OF which she was a member arc,
and ever have been, pure and trne to the
best interests OF the human family; never
have and never will antagon,ze the laws
OF our country; for God said to the
Church in u revelation given in August.
1881 /: "Letl.o man break the lawsof the
land, for he that keepeth the laws of
God hath no need to break the laws of
the land"
In this and many other respects the
Utah Mormon Church has been IL failure.
and therefore it Is not right to confound
the True Latter Day Saints with that
body of people.
The last minutes Of Sister Smith were
replcte with t~!nsling faith and confidence
in God; she died in the hope of Il glorious
resurrection. blessed Jesus blessed
Jesus" she repeated many times ere her
spirit passed away. We feel that she is
safe in His aims, and that now, after the
pain, the sorrow and tho distress which
she endured has ended, that she is at rest;
that it is well with her.
The funeral sermon was preached in
the Baptist church by the writer at 9
p. m. on the 10Th inst, Bro. G. Il. Ellis.
of Zion NJ. Z. Church, opening with an
earnest. feeling prayer, and closing with
some vctv touching aud appropriate re-
marksi in which he testified to the chris.
tian character of Sister Smith.
Her remains were thea followed TO the
Ferrell bnrying gonnd by Il large con
course of sonowing relatives and friends,
and there laid to rest near two of her
little angel children, whose spirits had
gone on before aud were there to wei.
come her in the home of the blessed.

| have lust read your merlted cncomium

ready grasp Of public questions, and his
clear understanding suggest him at once as
u Senator, who would be second to none.
While he is u strong believer in the idea that
the full restoration OF silver to its qualities
as money will bring back prosperity to the
American people, he is not crazy on the sub

where the heroism comes in. But we
will make a fair compromise with
