tions which exist between American men and women, and a woman who tacitly acknowledges her inferiority by reVerS- ing the order of things and goes to mans house to marry him, instead Of in sisting that he pay her the same honor that other men give the women whom they wish to marry, commits an error and sets a poor example to the woman hood of her nation
 In our republican country, where ofti- cial station is never permanent, Wo- man generally has many years in private life in which to regret a folly which, in the eyes of all thoughtful persons, renders her less womanly than if she had insist ed that she was marrying a man whom she loved, and not an office ana cer- tain conspicuous position. Mrs. Dim- nlick-noW Mrs. Harrison-in requiring that the same consideration be shown her by the man she was marrying as that bestowed upon other American women has set an example worthy of emulation. and also worthy of woman who does not seem to consider that MT. Harrison has conferred favor upon her by mak- ing her his wife.

 The magnificent memorial to her fa- ther. Rev. Dr. George M. Everhart, given by Mrs Robert Cunningham on Easter to the Church of the Advent Is perhaps the handsomest of it's kind in the state. If is the cross, the crown and the star which, when lighted above the altar of the Advent is exceedingly brilliant and beautiful. The crown. with innumerable twig gas jets, which burn like diamonds, hangs above the cross. The cross is 5 feet long and has two rows of jets, which number sixty-hve, the age of Dr. Ever hart. Below the cross is bronze star, upon one side of which is inscribed Tn loving memory of Rev. George Marlow Eyerhart, s. T. D. Born February g, 1926; died April 26, 1891" On the reverse side of the star Is written: "He preach ed unto them Jesus and the resurrec- tion." This inscription was the last text used by pr. Everhart in a sermon preached at Marietta, Ga, just one week before his death. Dr. Everhart was g. distinguished and eloquent minister of the Episcopal church and an educator of great reputation and success. He was energetic and active and was anx- ious to die in harness. His desire was granted, for when he preached his last sermon, using the text inscribed on the star, "He preached Jesus and the resur- rection," just one week before his death, which occurred at Decatur, Ga. This splendid memorial erected to Dr. Ever hart by his daughter, Mrs. Cunningham, is the design and work of Lamb of New York.
