18th.
'In 1910, when Wendell Philips and
William Lloyd Garrison, those flaming
heralds of emancipation, came from
Boston, Mass, as delegates TO great
meeting in London, Mrs. Lucretia
Mott of Philadelphia, that famous
Quaker lady, than whom nobler type
has never been produced on either side
of the water, came with them. She,
too, had been elected delegate TO the
LuSiloH LhCCllll5 puS Jul oSbiNJ DAAsSOh0
refused her credentials, and because
she was woman, she was relegated to
the gallery as mere looker-on, and
the two brilliant American men, whose
names are now immortal, and whose
work rendered the continuance Of
African slavery impossible in the great
republic, declined to sit as delegates
with men who had shown such injus-
tice, and went themselves to the gallery
with their sister, whose name-disa-
vowed in that circle of reformers-has
become a star of the first magnitude in
the galaxy of the great reformers.
That was lifty.Gve years ago, and to-
day we welcome shipload of American
women who are among the most thor

In MemOriam,

Edith Lilly, only daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Nelson Lilly, died last Satur-
day morning, aged 16 years. Edith
had been unwell for about week pre-
yious to her death, but it was thought
to be nothing more than the WEAKNESS
resulting from school work. A few
days before her death she began bleed
ing at the nose, and this continued
almost without intermission until her
death. The funeral was held in the
Methodist church Monday afternoon,
and was very largely attended, the
church being filled to overflowing.
The church was lavishly and beautiful
ly decorated with palms and flowers.
Upon the platform were seated the
mambers of the class to which Edith
belonged, and Edith's seat was appro-
priately trimmed with crepe and
flowers. Above the casket were sus-
pended cross and crown made of
white immortelles. The music was
furnished by chorus of young ladies,
the friends and companions of the one
whose young life had been so suddenly
ended. The funeral sermon was
preached by Rev. j. w. McAllister the
text being from Eccl. 12:l: "Remem
Der now thy Creator in the days of thy
youth" Edith's class acted as hon.
orary pail bearers, and the active
pail bearers were chosen from the
young men of the school, Edith was
bright, promising girl, and a great
fayorite' with teachers and friends. In
the home, where she will be most
sadly missed, she was always bright
and cheerful. The bereaved father
and mother and friends have the
sincere sympathy of the entire COM
munity in the great sorrow which has
come to them. The home will be
desolate since the loved one has been
called away, but the home in the land
across the mystic river, where Edith
waits Tor her earth friends. will he more
beautiful tO them because of her
presence there.

Ten Years of Welded Bliss.

Tuesday, June %, was the tenth ami
versary of the marriage Of DR.. 4. S.
and Adah Lozier Pettyjohn, and the
happy event was appropriately remem-
bered in their beautiful home on State
street. The lawn was beautifully illu-
minated with Chinese lanterns, and the
brilliantly lighted rooms was scene of
|festivity and joyousness. About one
hundred and twenty-five guests assem-
bled to congratulate the DR.. and Mrs.
Petiyjohn and enjoy the festivities with
them, and letters and kilograms Of re-
gret were received from nearly every
state and territory in the Union. The
gifts were many and varied, and in
cluded almost every imaginable article
that could be made of tin, and num-
ber of useful articles Of silver and cut
glass. Many gifts came from friends
from abroad, who could not be present.
Among the guests from distance
were, Maj. Gould, L. S. A., Miss
Lanier, Madison, Ind, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. b. Sidwell, Chicago, Misses Platter,
indianapolis, and Daniels, Mt. Vernon,
Iowa, IL. d. Lozier, Mt. Vernon, Iowa,
Miss Lena Daniels, Rockford, H., Mr..
and Mrs. II. s. Mitchell, Norwalk,
Ohio, Mr. and Mrs. +. u. Stockwell of
Chicago, Miss Kyle, Mt. Vernon, Iowa,
and Mr.. and Mrs. SAVERS, st. Louis.
Some Of the gifts had other merits than
utility. DR.. Pettyjohn was the recip-
lent of plug" hat, collar, tie and
cane, made of tin, and cuspidOr
capable of holding gallon, at least,
although the doctor has no occasion to
use an article of that description, even
of the smallest size. Mrs. Pettyjohn's
friends sent her dutch" bonnet,
parasol, and mammoth fan, also of
tin. Among the other gifts for Mrs.
Pettyjohn was a tray from her brother,
Lew Ii. Lozier, an artist of Chicago.
On the tray were represented scenes in
his sisters life, from her first appear
ance in church, through the various
escapades of girlhood, young woman
hood and as matron surrounded by
her family of little ones. The floral
decorations of the rooms were exquis.
lilly beautiful, and the dining rooms
and tables made one think Of fairy land
with flowers, ,smilax cut glass and silver
decorations. The table decorations were
the work of Miss Lena Daniels of Rock
ford, H., and consisted of beautifully
artistic arrangement of daisies, smilax
and white and yellow ribbons. The
other floral decorations were arranged
by Mr.. Bittner, Alma's florist. The
supper, which was the ne plus ultra of
the caterers art, was prepared by Mr..
Welty. At late hour, the company
dispersed, with hearty wishes to the
doctor and his good wife for continu-
ance of the prosperity and joy which
have accompanied them during the ten
years of their welded life.
