 Deceased came Co the Verde valley with her husband and father, Uncle Tommy smith, in August 1875, and during her twenty-Ous years resi- deuce has always been a good, kind and generous neighbor and the high estimation iu which she was held was fully shown by the mauner m which her friends attended her fu- neral Although New Years day the wind was very strong, there was much the largest gathering that has ever taken place at the Middle Verde cemetery. There Is something sad lu death at all times, but the reading and delivery of the funeral exercises by the Rev. J. C.

DOMINATION wANING

Dr. Samuel W. Abbott, secretary of the Massachusetts board ot health, evolved a pretty theory Ca account for the decline in that state iu the death rate uf women from pulmonary troubles. He attributes the decline to the use of the bicycle and points out that it tegsu q @ years Ago, when the women began io use the bicycle. This was very cum- forting to the bicycle manufactur CTS, but the Sp- 1gdeld Republican ruins this tteors by producing dS- ures to show that. happily for the Massachusetts people, the decline iu the mortality from consumption began ten years s-a. During the decade ending in lSS0. the deaths lu Massachusetts from consumption had averaged 327 each year per l0OlO population. in lSS2, the rate had fallen to 3l.7, in lSS5 tO 3o7 and in lSS9 to 25.5. his was before the safety bicycle had come into general use even for men, and, sO far as noted, the dechue in the nor tality rate from pulmonary diseases was as marked among men as IL was among women. This decline in the mortality from one of tho worst scourges of New England has con tinued since lSS9, the mortality rate in lS9I being about = per l0O0O. representing a decrease from the average Of lSS0 Of nearly one-third. No positive statement is made as to the beuefcent causes. IL Is thought that better understanding of the disease, with improved sanitation in relation thereto, Is partly responsi- ble, aud to this may perhaps also be added the scclimatization of immi- grants. -EI.

According to Philadelphia tele- gram. John Wsnnamsker has Ge- c,arei himself on the senatorial question in that state, as well a> ou affairs political in general. He i> quoted & sayinG, that If the u 1t four years do not give good ume~ 70 the United States, the new ce0," y will usher iu changes that vii ue severely felt In the most rem ,e corners of the world. Penn>yl- vania's responsibility in the adm Q - i.,ration of national affairs is thr' n upon her congressman and two seu- a,ors. The terms of these senat rs expire, one st the beginning and -ie other during President Mckin.ry s administration, and as the time ap- proaches to fil the next vacancy, some of those who labOred iuC-ss- aatly Co defeat the nomination oi McKiuiey, and carried the vote of Peunsylvauia against him, are as- suminE Co dispense the federal patronage in advance of his iuau- gura;ion. iu order Co influence the votes ot the members of the leg sls- ture. Mir Wannsmaker spoke
 strong terms, saying: The old com monwealth is dlshouored by tae claim that one man owns l5O yo;e es ol, of the 25o chosen men comps ing the legislature not yet asser- bled. and adds. that one boss has defantlv taken the state by t4s throat. and dictated his own terms. Concerning national issues, he sad he favored . tariff high enough to remuueIate manufacturers so they nay be able Co keep employees going the full week at good wages, and to exclude everything We can grow or make iu this country. He advocated q greatly restricted immigration law. and asserted his unalierable opposition to any tampering with the monetary system which would tend 10 destroy the national credit or appreciate the coin.
