At special meeting of the vestry Of
Trinity Church, of Shepherdstown, w.
Va. the undersigned were appointed a
committee to adopt resolutions on the
death July Ia, 1896, of Edmund Jen-
nings Lee. The following were adopt
ed
Resolved, That in the death of E. j..
Lee we mourn the loss not only of dear
personal friend, but of one whose coun-
sci has been of incalculable service to
our vestry for the past thirty years. Con-
secrated to God from his earliest youth,
his life has been spent in serving Him
whom he loved. His time, his talents,
and his means have been given without
stint to his church, as Sunday School
scholar, teacher, superintendent, and
Bible class instructor; as vestryman,
warden, lay-reader, representative at
council and general conventions; as a
member of the standing committee, and
of the trustees of the Theological Sem
mary. Filled with the spirit of under
standing and wise counsel, his voice has
over and over again given direction 10
the deliberations of vestrieS and councils,
and the impress of his life has been writ
ten not only in Trinity Church, but
| throughout the diocese as forcibly
| shown in the sermon delivered by the
! Right Rev. Geo. w. Peterkin, Bishop OF
the diocese, at the memorial services
held in Trinity Church on Sunday, the
10th of July. His genial loving-kindness
and ready sympathy, and above all his
sublime faith, told us all, who knew him,
that he had been with Jesus and learned
of him. Enshrined in the hearts of ouI
whole community, his memory must in,
cite us all to nobler living. We extend
to his bereaved family our most pro
found sympathy.
| RESOLVED, That these resolutions bC
spread upon the minutes, and copy bt
sent to his family, and published in the
local papers and the Southern Church
man.

GladneSS Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper et-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due 10 any actual dis
ease. but simply TO a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
lv removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended TO the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

most depressing and least suspicious Tor
mental culture and that we petltlon
the Legislature to amend said section so
that said institute work can be accom-
plished within the time of actual school
employment.
End. That in the death of our brother,
teacher and friend, J. r. Farmhouse, we
recognize the hand of God and bow III
meek submission to His will.
3rd. That we tender his family our
sincere sympathy and that God will give
them grace to humbly submit TO bis
divine visitation.
4th, That a vote of thanks be rendered
Rev. A. A. p. Neel, our county Superln-
tendent, for his general kindness and ell
fcient management of the present SEES
sion of institute.
5th, That vote of thanks be rendered
Col Hodges for the magnificent manner
i'm which he has conducted the institute
work. and trust that in the future he
NAV find it convenient to often visit our
| county.

Charlestown, conducted the solemn
and impressive service. The remains
were then borne to Elmwood Cemetery
and laid to rest within a few yards OF
his former home. At the conclusion
of the service, ere the friends had
turned away from the grave, the sweet
old hymn, Rock of Ages cleft forme,
was sung with touching effect by the
people, and with saddened hearts and
tear-dimmed eyes they slowly dispersed
and left the body to await the great
day when the sea and the earth shall
give up their dead. Mt. Nebo Lodge
of Masons, of which Mr.. Lee was a
member, attended the funeral in a
body. The pall-bearers were A. S.

Cold and Cough Cures
Promptly EffectuaI in Curing Grip,
Colds and Coughs and a Sure
Preventive of Pneumonia and All
Lung Diseases.

Colds lead to coughs, coughs to Pneu-
monia and Consumption; therefore, it is
all important to check cold before it
reaches the lungs. Munyon's Cold Cure
will positively break cold inside of
twenty-four hours if taken as soon as the
cold manifests itself. When the cold
reaches the lungs or bronchial tubes the
Cough Cure should be used alternately
every half hour with the Cold Cure. The
Cold Cure is guaranteed to prevent pnen-
monia if used in the beginning of a cold.
Pneumonia, or inflam nation of the lungs,
can be controlled by the use of these two
cures.
The Cough Cure positively cures bron-
chitis, tickling in the throat, hoarseness,
loss of voice, soreness of the chest, diff
Guilty in breathing, hacking cough and all
pulmonary diseases where the lungs are
not too far consumed or covered with
tubercles.
If you are ailing, step into the nearest
drugstore and get 25c vial of one of Nun
yon's Remedies. No matter what your
disease, or how many doctors have failed
to cure, it will give you relief.

Track and Paddock Items.

Jack Richelieu, running in Sam Hill
dreths colors, was a heavily played IA
vorite in the opening race, and he exhi-
bited about as much speed as dog with
a broken leg.
Mike Bergen put up good ride on the
outsider, Road Runner, in the last race.
The chestnut got away from the post two
lengths behind the field, but Mike perse-
vered with him and at the end was beaten
out but half length by the winner.

On Tuesday when the cranky Jumper
Wag straddled the fence on his way to the
post, he was extricated from the unpleas-
ant predicament and sent to the paddock,
all bets made on him being paid back.
Yesterday after Ginger had shaken Mack
lin from the saddle and made circuit of
the track three times, finally being stopped
at the saddling paddock after jamming
her shoulder against the fence, she was
sent to the post In no condition to race.
There was good stiff play on her, and if
bets were returnable in the Wag case there
not apply as well with Ginger. Macklin
pulled the mare up when the barrier was
passed, and the coin bet on her was SIM
ply burnt up." Bookmakers have enough
the best end of it now without rulings
being given in their favor.
Philosopher Earl Cochran's ride on Ra-
pido, the second choice in the seventh
race. did not suit the judges, and he stands
suspended pending further investigation.
The sudden reversal of form shown by
Faro was altogether too startling and at
meeting held by the bosru of stewards
at the conclusion of the racing 1t was de-
cided to accept no more entries from A. Y.
Stephenson. The horse who, was entered
to be sold for 500, was bid up $40 by an
outsider and owner Stephenson let him
go. The stewards did not believe the sale
to be bona-fide one and the entry of Faro
will in future be rejected.
Dolce, the sister to Crescendo, made a
much better showing yesterday than on
her previous essays. She fell out of it
soon after the start, but made game run
through the stretch, finishing a good
third.

vICTIMIZED HIMSELF.
William McCrack en- Insisted on Taking
Forged Check in Security for
Debt.

Bayard Saville is before Judge Belcher
for forgery and the testimony against him
shows the peculiar case of man who in
sisted on being victimized despite Saville's
objections.
The charge of forgery rests upon check
on the Bank of California for $3.50 made by
Mrs. Teresa Bell in favor of Bayard Saville
and indorsed by him. William McCracken
is the complaining witness and he mourns
the loss of $50. From the evidence it ap-
pears that Saville borrowed $50 at one time
and $40 at another from McCracken, and
he offered to write personal check for the
amount on a Santa Rosa bank. Nc
Cracken had seen the Bell check, however,
and said he would take that and send the
extra 5000 to Saville when he mad cashed
it. Saviile objected, but finally gave the
check and when McCracken offered it ut
the bark he was told it was forgery.
Saville's defense will be that there is
conspiracy against him to railroad him to
the penitentiary. The writing and signature
on the check are not in the least like Mrs.
Bells writing and the forgery, # it be one,
is very poor one. Mrs. Bell is the widow

SHIELDS A GOOD HoRsEMAN.
Hello Took the Steep1echaSe in Hot
Drive With Esperance--All
Over a Winner.

Races run with gentlemen riders in the
saddle appear to be quite the proper thing
in San Francisco at present.
The triangular sweepstake at seven fur
longs announced for yesterday simmered
down to duel between Ferrier and Logan,
Owner Sam Hildreth and Service declining
the issue. Ferrier, with his master, W. S.
Hobart, in the saddle, opened to 5 IA
vorite, and such tremendous plunge was
made on him that he went to the post to
20. The Iron horse" piloted by Owner
Alex Shields, opened at evens, going back
until to was laid. Both horses were
announced to carry 160 pounds. Mr.. Ho-
bart rode his horse with excellent indg-
ment and in front from the Jump won
easily by a couple of lengths in 1:31k.
The pretty fiancee of the young million
riage in the infield and applauded enthusi-
astically as he passed the stand in advance
of the Canadian horseman.
Eight events were down for decision
and it was after O'Clock before the crowd
started for town. Nearly ali of the en-
tries were of the cheap selling platter va
r1ety and the sport was not above medi-
ocrity. Favorites took four races.
A tive-and-one- -half-furlong dash, with
twelve starters, opened the racing, and
was captured in common canter by the
aged sprin ter Hyman, e 5 to l shot in the
betting. Red Bird, starting 16 to Sec
ond choice, made the running to the
stretch and finished a good third.
Faro had all kinds of speed yesterday
and romped away the mile run that fol-
lowed like real stake horse. On his two
preceding essays there was considerable
lobster" gossip mentioned in connection
with the chestnut horses name, and per-
haps not without reason.
Starting at odds of 6 to 1, he had shaken
of Clara Johnson by the time the stretch
lest of winners over the to favorite
imp. Fullerton Lass. Clara Johnson. who
was extensively played at odds of. 16 to 5,
was good third, beaten half a length by
the place horse.
The five-furlong scramble for two-year-
olds was cleverly gathered in by the II to
20 choice, Adam Andrew, who passed Lena
swinging into the stretch, and won easily
by three lengths in 1:04L. The last
named FLY tired badly at the end, being
passed by both Early Notice and Dolce,
the former getting the place by length,
driving.
There were five acceptances for the hand
leap steeplechase, the distance being about
two miles. Carrying 157 pounds Bell
ringer was sent TO the post to favorite,
but sulked before the sixth lump was
reached and fell out of it. Hello ridden
by 7. Murphy then took the lead, and in a
hard drive through the stretch with Es-
perance, ridden by w. Clancy, got the
decision by head. April finished good
third.
