Prepared For LIES Battle.


''I suppose you expect your boy to
make a great SUCCESS in life, - said the
old friend as they settled down for the
after dinner cigars.
''Success 20 exclaimed the host.
"Why, my dear sir, he can't fail He
has been educated on the modern plan
that guarantees success.
Education is everything nowadays,
of course
Nothing like it, asserted the host.
''This boy of mine ought to have at
least half a million or so by the time he
is 25. Why, sir, he has as fine French
accent as you ever heard. -
''Frenoh accentr' exclaimed the
guest in surprise.
THAT it, replied the host proudly.
'And his English drawl would deceive
any one. Then you ought to see the
way he dressesi tell you that Ooy cam

''But his education"-
"That's what I'm talking about. He
can lead a cotiIlon with the best of
them and is simply unexcelled at smart
talk. I've spared no pains in preparing
him for the battle with the world. -
''But in what line do you expect him
to sinner
1.-THE matrimonial line, sir-the only
line in which big fortunes are easily Sc
cured. Can't you see that he would pass

RELIES UPON POLICE.

Spanish Government Only Able to Count
Upon Their support.
LONDON, March 1s.-A dispatch from
Madrid to the Standard says that the
government is only able to count on
the support of the police, the civil
guard having declined to act against
the young officers who took part
in the riot at the offices of FL Globo.
The spirit of the garrison shows
that almost all the officers sympathize
with the young rioters. There is great
excitement in the city, and no such
military conflict has been seen since
the restoration of the monarchy.

To Illinois Members.

DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS
The 9th Annual Convention of the National
Young Peoples Christian Union. will be held at
Boston. Mass July 1914. 1895. The officers of
the union are confidently looking for large
representation from Illinois. and the committee
having charge of the transportation are begin
ming to inquire .How many from linos?" 1t
is necessary that the approximate number going
from this State should soon be made known,
that suitable arrangements and accommoda-
tons can be made. The undersigned Committee
on Transportation for the State have assurances
that the delegation will reflect great credit on
the State. but we will be satisfied only by cap
turing the banner for the largest State delega-
ton present. This can lie done If proper efforts
are exerted. Boston is the most interesting
city in the country and to Americans, in the
world and our brothers of THE Hub" are plan
ming to leave nothing undone for our entertain
ment and comfort. Excursions have been ar
ranged to the MANY interesting points about
the city, and from present indications, the Con-
vention will eclipse anything ever dreamed of
by our denomination in the way of attendance
and enthusiasm.
The question of railroad rates is not entirely
settled as yet, but we will get at least a single
fare, $1,000. for the round trip and much better
EON
less the rate will be. The cost of living while
in Boston has been reduced to a nominal figure;
so cents for lodging and 25 cents per meal
Let each union at once hold business meet
ing and plan to give entertainments for the pur-
pose of raising funds. Get your hustlers out
with subscription papers. Leave no stone un-
turned to have your own union well represented.
Plans will be made for Illinois to go in a body
and It is entirely probable that the return will
be by the celebrated Sound steamer to New
York City
Each Union is entitled to three delegates; but
do not be satisfied with sending three represen-
tatives. Those who go as visitors will have
substantially the same privileges on the floor
of the Convention as delegates. Chicago will
probably send forty delegates and visitors. How
many may we look for from the rest of the State?
Get your minister interested; tell your older
people this is the opportunity of their lives for
renewing their youth. Many an old heart was
thrilled with pride at the sight OF so many en-
thusiastc and deyout young Uniyersallsts at
Hartman last year. Let us know at once what
you are doing and how many representatives
you expect to have. Send on the names as soon
as possible. AS soon as more definite lnforma
tlOn is secured, it will be duly forwarded and we
will be glad to answer all questions.

four years ago, Bro. Bishops health was on the
decline, aud over year ago his powers began
to wane, and during this spring very rapidly,
till on the Goth ult., stroke of paralysis pros
trated him from which he could not rally.
Bro. Bishop was born in GAINESVILLE. Wyoming
County, N. Y, and was left without father at
the tender age of seven. His first earnings, of
ten cents day, went into the support of the
young widowed mother and her family of little
ones. At fifteen he apprenticed himself to a
blacksmith for three years at from thirty to forty
dollars ayear.
At the completion of bis apprenticeship, he
wrought at his trade under his own name sew
eral years. then came west to Waukegan to join
an older brother, and to build up his fortune in
the rising new country. having bid tender good
bye to the loving mother and the old cottage

on the banks of The beautiful Fox river, and
grew rapidly in fortune in somewhat various
enterprises, generally bringing success out of
whatever he undertook In 1874 he finished
course of law, and was admitted to the bar. In
the same year he represented his district In the
Legislature.
He was one of the few who first united to sup
port Uniyersalist preaching at McHenrv. and
in 1856, to build the church edifice. And what
ever fortune befell the church. he stood by it
and gave 1t his loyal support. He not only sup
ported the church but supported the denomina-
ton and its literature. For many years he was
a subscriber to THE UNIvERsALIsr and to its
predecessors.
His funeral was held in the church on Sunday,
June ., and is thought to have been the largest
ever held in McHenry. the pastor officiating.
