Obituary..

Abbie S. Ellis died at her home in Brooks
Sept. Sth. She was born in Belfast, May 25
1885, and was the only daughter of Edward
and Nancy Bicknell. One brother, S. G.
Bicknell of Belfast is the last of her fathers
family. She leaves husband, Joseph Ellis,
to whom she was married Nov. 10, 1857, and
three sons and one daughter. The eldest
son, Herbert O., lives in Anchor, N. NJ; Jo-
seph E. lives on the Ellis farm in Brooks;
and Alfredo Page, the daughter, also lives
in Brooks. David P, the youngest of the
family, lives with his fathers sister, Mrs
Emily Pierce of Belfast. She will be ever
remembered by her family as a kind and
loving wife and dutiful and affectionate
mother. Although an invalid for over two
years, knowing all the time that the end
was near, yet she was cheerful and uncom-
planning to the last. She was charter
member of Richie Grange and held several
offices and positions of trust in the order,
and will be greatly missed by her sisters
and brothers

the death Of their young son, Phillip Dyer,
aged nine months, who passed away this

several months past but on account Of the

IL q big bass drum. for the tambourine and
the big drum play no inconsfderable part
in the exercises, especially when the serv-
ices are held out Of doors. Comparatively
few outdoor services are being held just
now, for the reason that neither of the
women is particularly hardy, and the ex-
posure would be rather more than they
could well stand. In fact, that is one of
the reasons why they were transferred to
this city from the more rigorous climate of
the far northwest.
The SOlLiers' Meetings.
Every Monday night the services are not
open to the public, but what are known as
soldiers meetings" are held. At these
there are brief religious exercises. the work
for the future is mapped out and the new
recruits are encouraged to hold fast to
their new manner of living. At these meet
ings the soldiers are urged to fire cart
ridges" for the cause. In a church this
would be called putting money in an en-
velope for the support of the work, but in
the Salvation Army military methods are
followed to the minutest detail. They are
made to fire cartridge If it be only a
blank cartridge. In other words, they are
taught the lesson OF regular giving, no mat
ter how small the sum they may be able
to give, toward the support of the army
They are willing givers although the army
methods are intended for the poorer classes
and appeal to them most directly.

Authors and Their Digestion.

FROM the queen.
The amount Of intellectual work a man
can do depends. to some extent, upon his
digestion, though not entirely. for many
of our best writers are martyrs to bilious
ness. and some of them to indigestion. But
the men who get through an immense
quantity of work, and also are considerable
figures In the society Of their fellows. are.
as rule, those who can eat with fmpun-
fty. drinking being more a matter OF ar
ransement. Men like Sir Edwin Arnold
and DR.. Brandes can, eat and drink any
thing in the world-they have what one
might call cosmopolitan digestion; and
Alfred Parsons, who stands at the very top
OF the tree in book illustration. in addi-
ton to his skill as painter, can do with
out English food altogether when he is
travelling to the wiids. The only incon-
venience he ever breads is being a little
pulled down by the insufticiency Of nutri-
ment in the food. Sir Edwin. I have heard,
attributes his wonderful digestion to eat
ing very slowly. and talking a good deal
between. Mr.. Gladstone thinks slow eat
ing the mother Of good digestion. and is
said to bite everything five-and-twenty
times before he swallows it. Hall Caine
and Mr.. jerome are martyrs to headaches.

bright-faced young women, who are bound

both western girls. and have been friends

over its methods than they were the day

ton only within couple of weeks their

with the work here as yet, but express
themselves as more than pleased with the
outlook.

Up to the close of the present week the

In it the officers were enjoined to pay as

of restricting their usefulness in the work

The Public Meetings.

On the other evenings of the week the
meetings are open to the general public,
and as a rule the hall is crowded to it's
fullest extent, sometimes many as 400
men and women being in the crowd. The
men predominate and they are Of all class
es. The locality is such that of a cold win
ter's evening the lights and the sound Of
music are likely to attract a set of men
who might be considered as socially unde-
sirable, but who are just exactly the set
that the Salvation Army workers desire to
reach. There have been innumerable cases
of men under the influence of liquor STUN
bling into Salvation Army meeting to Scof,
becoming impressed by the services and the
earnestness of the prayers and staying un-
til they asked for prayers themselves.
Many man has been saved and started on
the upward path in just this way, and 1T is
p: ecisely this sort of work that has chang
ed the public estimate of the Salvation
Army from what it was decade ago.
when people jeered at the uniformed work

sorry that I enlisted. 1t is not an easy life
and no one knows how hard a faithful SOL
der has to work. When we are holding

rather more than the average minister

Capt. Garfield, the head of the Washing
ton corps, said that while she was not in
q position to speak with any authority, her
own opinion was that the troubles in the
army just now arise from the views which
Commander Ballington Booth entertains on
the subject of discipline. He has publicly
stated that he was not believer in the
rigid discipline which is enforced upon the
army from the International headquarters
in London. but believed that simpler and
easier methods might be followed in this
country with even better results. Gen.
Booth is now on his way back to England
from tour of India. and is expected to
arrive IN London about March 16. 1t Is
thought that soon after that some means
of healing the breach will be found that
will be satisfactory to every one. In the
meantime Eva Booth. who was formerly
territorial commander, is in temporary
charge Of the work in the United States.
In conversation with Star reDorter,
Capt. Garfield said that she did not think
that the idea Of seeding and organizing an
American army had originated with Com
mander Booth. Il think that the PROPOSE
tion was suggested to him. However. do

prominent officer Of the Salvation Army,
who has been at the head of the work in
this city, in conversation with a Star re-
porter today, in reference to the Ballington
Booth incident, said For years have been
in close relations with Commander and
Mrs. Booth, and, with all sincerity, 1 can
say that they are as true, sincere, faithful
and untiring as any one connected with the
Salvation Army. From personal knowledge,
I am able to state that Commander and
Mrs. Booth have never INDUCED in luxury
of any description whatsoever, but have
always lived plainly, and time and again
have gone without necessary sleep in order
to carry out their plans for accomplishing
good. I also desire to deny the allegations
that Commander and Mrs. Booth have con-
