obituary-Bainbridge

Mrs. Louise Bainbridge, aged, As
years, II months and 27 days, died at
her residence in Mitilin, Dec. 8, 1896.
Mrs. Bainbridge was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jenkin, Of Mifflin.
She was married to Mr.. John w.
Bainbridge, Sept. 30th, 1872, since
which time they lived in Mifiln. Six
children were born to them, four of
whom survive their mother-Ray-
mond Leslie, aged 20; Louise, IS;
Martha, Is: and William Harrison.
Four sisters and a mother also sur
vive her-Mrs. Miller, OF Mifilin,
Mrs. Graham, of Mineral Point; Mrs.
Harker, of Linden; and Miss Martha
Jenkin, of Mifllin.
Mrs. Bainbridge was Il member OF
the Advent Christian church, and
was held IN high esteem by all. She
was baptised and united with said
church some II years ago, and was n
consistant and faithful ehistian, ever
ready for any good work,
The husband and family have the
sympathy OF large circle OF friends,
as was manifested by the large num-
ber that attended her funeral.
The most comforting fact is that OF
her calm resignation to her fate,
coupled with her strong faith in her
God and saviour in whom she had
long learned to put her trust. Her
hope was in the coming of her Say
iour, Jesus Christ, to this world to
raise the dead, immortalize the saints
and set up the long-looked and
prayed-for kingdom of God. Where
sin, sorrow and death can never
come, she sleeps, awaiting the sum
mons of the master, when all that
are in their graves will come forth.
st, John. 8: 2S-29,
Funeral was from the A. G. church
Dec. 9Th. Words of comfort were
spoken by the writer from I. Thessa-
lonians, 4 rs, assisted by Rev. j.
Hardcastle.

These words, in sweet childish
voice mellowed by Suppressed sob,

Go TO thy rest. fair child;
Go to thy dreamless bed,
While yet, 50 gentle, undecided,
With blessings on thy head.

Thy upward wing detain?
No gentle angel seek thy place
Amid the cheruo train.

then refused. The Press man adj
mits that Mr.. Shows statement is

there was only 80 cents per ton diff
ference between buyer and seller
when they tried to deal on Nov. 10,
and the seller yielded the 90 cents
when the deal was consummated,

THE latest plan of that philan-
thropic champion of miners rights,
the Highland Press, is to have all
drybone sold on contract year In
advance of delivery, prices to be in
ratio to per cent. of oxide the ore
contains, as determined by an as
sayer in the employ of miners. We
favor the plan, as. far as Il goes. II
seems slightly incomplete, in not in
dicating who shall be purchaser Of
the ore on the terms proposed.

DID you ever stop to think how
many male and female ancestors you
have had during the past eighteen or
nineteen hundred years? First, you
have father and mother-that makes
two human beings. Each of them
had father and mother, making
four more human beings. Then
again, each of these four had father
and mother, making eight more an
cestors for you. So we go on back to
the birth of Christ, or through fifty
six generations. The result of such
calculation, which can be made in a
few minutes by any school child, will
show 1925, ,4S6534,976 births must
have taken place in order to bring
you into this world, and this only
accounts for comparatively short
period in the history of the human
race.

CHRISTMAS CoNFEcTIoNARY al
Brewer & Penhallegon's.


Chicago Times-Herald: The young
women of Lawrence university at
Appleton, Wis, have decided to wear
uniforms, subject which has been
agitating them ever since the males
of the military department blossomed
out in gray and black regimentals.
The original idea was to have suits
of cadet gray like their brothers, but
this was found impracticable, so the
girls have decided upon navy blue
blouses, laced up in the front with
black braid. For the gymnasium
the girls will have bloomers, and for
street wear skirts, both of navy blue.
The suits will be quite an innovation
as Lawrence is the first college in the
west, if not in the country, where the
women students have adopted uni
form.

Senate Reorganization

WASHlNGTON,N Nov. 30.-A number of
Repu blioan senators, including Messrs.
Hans borough, Pettigrew, Clark, Man;el,
Dubois. Shoup. Chandler, Gallinger ana
Proctor held an informaI meeting last
night and decided to advocate an attempt
at reorganization OF the senate IN the
caucus to be held next Monday. They
also pronounced in favor of the dist?ibu-
ton OF the appropriation bills among the
various senate committees and also dis
cussed the assignments OF senators. 1t
was made evident that the western meh
would stand together to secure the con-
troll of the committees which deal espec.
iallv with western questions. The sch me
for the enlargement of The Financial
committee also secured the favOia bic en-
doIsement OF the meeting, and the opin-
ion was expressed that Senators Cameron
and p att sh uld lie Sc lect6d to Eli the two
pla as will be at the command of the
Ii puDlicans IN case they organize the
senate and the committee is enlarged.
Senator DUBOIS, rs soon as practicable
after the converting OF the senate, will
present the resolution when he gave last
session for the Distribution of appropria-
ton bills. His plan is 10 distribute these
bills as fohOws:
The agricultural Till to the committee
on agriculture. consular and diplomatic
to foreign relations, army and military
academy bills to military affairs, naval to
naval affairs, pOstotiice to postothce, In
dian to Indian affairs, river and harbor
to commerce, civilizations to coast de-
tense. District of Colum bia to the Dis
trict of Columbia committee. and the PEN
sion bill to pensions, leaving only the
legislative executive judicial aud sundry
civil and the deficiency bills to be dealt
with by the com mittee on appropriations.
The proposition Will undoubtedly be Wig
orously antagoLiZed.
