Obituary.

Katie Perrin, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. ?. B. Perrin, died of congestion
at the residence of her mother, in
Fillmore, Monday, July 9th, 1896 !;
was born at Midway, Bossior parish,
March 31st, 1854.
Death, let it comes as it may,
always brings sorrow. The loosen
ing of the silver cord that links life
to life, speaks of severed ties and
anguished hearts, for the boon of
love is not denied to the most IL
religious of earth's creatures. To
record the death of one whom the
association of childhood days has
bound to US by the strongest ties Of
affection, is sad duty indeed. The
loved and lost leaves us only the
sweeter memory of her angelic purity.
Little katie's illness was brief ::
lasting only few days, and then
deaths triumph was soon won-only
a moment and all that gave the life
tint to life is gone and there remains
but the still form and silent lips.
There comesto every grief stricken
household an hour in which itshakes
off the torpor which benumbea it
when its darling was borne across
the threshold to her bed beneath the
sod. A mother bereft OF her baby
daughter, devoted brother and Sis
ter to mourn for her whom God has
called home to add one more to his
band of angels.
Weep not, mother, brother and
sister, but seek consolation from a
higher Power, and let the thought
comfort you who mourn, whose heart
is crushed and bleeding, that your
farewell is not forever for beyond
the tomb we shall meet again, and
that dear little Katie is standing at
the golden gate with beckoning
hands" calling to each Of you to live
so that you can come home.
a FRIEND.

The vicinity of Midway was visit
ed last Friday evening with the
severest wind storm known in its
history. The first gale came from
the southeast. 1t lasted but a short
time in that direction; changed, and
coming from a little north of cast,
blew down a great deal of heavy
timber in very short time. Then
came from the north, and for a while
looked as if it would sweep every
thing away. No person was hurt.
MIR. George W. Dalrymple made a
narrow escape of bis life, having
gone under Mr.. A. L. Byram's GIN
house, and it was blown down.
Several negroes had gone there for
protection. All escaped uDhurt.-
MIR. Byram suffered the heaviest loss
of any.
The rain that fell was not sufficient
to wet tho ground.

 The Lorraine Hollis company last night presented "A Long Lane," a pastoral play of unusual strength, to an appreciative audience. The leading character of Margaret Meadows" of course, fell to the gifted star, though scarcely less brilliant lyric luminary was Miss Grace Humphries, whose task was the interpretation of the character of Daisy Meadows" This evenings bill is to be "The Tigress," a drama in which Miss Hollis has achieved high repute.
 Last night at Tempe at the residence of the brides parents was solemnized the marriage of Robert G. Goodwin and Miss Hattie Ridenour. The cere- mony, which was private, was per formed by Rev. TomliIson. The mar riage is one.in which an especially large circle of friends are interested for bride and groom are among the most popular of the young people of Tempe. The groom is member of the well-known firm of Goodwin Bros, the bride sister of Mrs. c. w. Bor- rowdale The couple have taken up their residence in Tempe.
 The destruction Monday night of the Herrick property on Jefferson street is now attributed to lamp left burning in the dining room by Mrs. Winslow, the tenant, who at the time was absent at the theater The building was in- sured for S1,200 and policy of S65O was on the furniture. One especially distressing feature of the fire was the loss by Mrs. Winslow of $670 in paper money that had been kept in a stout wooden safe in an inside room. The cash was to have been used within a couple of weeks in the construction of house that Mrs. Winslow designed building in one of the additions.
 The banquet of the Shriners Monday night was faultless as regards hospi- tality and quality and quantity of viands, but was conducted on lines both original and enjoyable. Coffee, for instance, was served in tin cups, and champagne in big tumblers, while the solids were consumed from nice new tin plates. The table cloth was of rough sacking and the bouquets were of alfalfa, cauliflower and cabbage stalks thrust into tomato cans. But these features of what was facetiously termed "a tramp's banquet" made the spread even the more enjoyable and furnished a new topic upon which to exert the wit of the assembled breth- ren.

The Parsees are known as the fire
worshipers." In olden times they had
temples seven stories high, on the tops
of which were the sacred fires.
The temples of today are square
buildings, two stories high, surrounded
by high stone walls, through which no
one can enter.
The Parsees say that fire is the pur-
est element that can be gotten to rep
resent the invisible spirit.
To build a sacred fire it is necessary
to get the fire caused by lightning.
This is used to purify the frankinsence
sandalwood and myrrh used as offer
ings.
The Parsees dispose of their dead in
a peculiar manner. Towers of 81

and in these the dead bodies are placed
to be devoured by vultures.
The Christian religion existed near

was, of course, in the first century.
st. Thomas being a builder, tried to
support himself by following his call
ing, and during his leisure time
preached Christianity. He was much
prosecuted by the Hindoos and other
people of the land.
After time one of the Rajahs who
was having palace built by st. Thorn
as, was converted to Christianity, and
used his influence to allow st. Thomas
to build a shrine in which to pray
