To Martins Ferry HiGh school Class
Preached 6y the Rev. MIR. 8ond.
Last evening at the Baptist Church,
Rev. w. c. d. Bond. the pastor, de-
livered the baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating class of the High School
in the presence of a large audience.
Ills text was taken from Deut., iY. 3:
only take heed to myself and keep
thy soul diligent.'
In his opening remarks he said there
was no study more beneficial to man
than the intelligent examination Of the
phvsiCal body 1t is as thousand
wheels within itself-thouSands OF
small rivulets all gathering into one:
II is self-conseryative, self-working and
self-renairing. A full examination OF 1t
must be made before it can be eX-
plained properly. Just so it is in other
wavs we must know the Lord before
we can show him TO others. A man
that knows himself is more capable
of swaying the world than Marcus Au-
reilius ever was to rule Rome.
Energy makes the imperial character
of the mind which we must use for
the care of the soul which is OF the
most vital Importance. 1t is fact
that somewhere in the unknown depths
of eternity. there was no earth. no So
lar system. or anything Of the kind.
An energy went forth from the Divine
mind and moulded the earth. also es-
tablished the solar system. and then
breathed the breath of life into man.
The first Adam came a living spirit
and the last a quickened spirit.
The physical body tires out, but the
soul is tireless. 1t keeps moving on.
Its energy still moves on. and even
when the physical body has passed
from earth.
The Rev. Mr.. Bond here dwelt for
a time on the effects Of a diligent soul
on the physical body the main object
of his talk being to impress upon the
mind the necessity of caring diligently
for the soul. which after this life IS
to either go to the world above or the
one below.
He also reminded them of the fact
that rs the class launched forth from
school that they had only learned the

fundamental principles of the life they

fundamental principles of the life they
take up.
There is a higher school, however,
than academies colleges and universe
tiesIt is the school of Jesus Christ.
Before you can enter that school, how
ever. you must remember that it is
written in the Book of Life that "Ye
must be born again"
In closing his sermon, he said: BE
true to self, take special care for the
soul This world is not your home;
you are travelling the same road as
your fathers. which leaves behind the
curtain of time. AS you come from
the high school with your diplomas,
be ready to begin the work of life, and
when this LIES work is finished. if
you have taken diligent care of the
soul, you will find final resting place
in the high school of Heaven

Other Memorial Day Sermons.
A memorial sermon was delivered
last night at the Fourth street NJ E.
church by Rev. J. L. Sooy, the pastor.
The subject of his discourse was Our
Debt of Gratitude to Cur Nations He
roes." Rev. DR.. Sooy spoke eloquently
of the great services rendered the
country and future posterity by the
preservers of our nation.
lie said that Cirero tells us that the
Gays in winch we are preserved are
greater than the days in which we are
born. With this statement he COM
pared the services of the Revolutionary
soldier with the Union soldier, and
stated that AppomattCX exceeded York
town in importance.
Referring to the observance of Dec
oratiCn day. he said the peculiar genius
of this day consisted in celebrating
man. the private citizen and the CRATE
full homage we pay TO the common sol
Giery of this country who were inspired
to suffer unparalleled losses of life and
20 perform deeds of unsurpassed valor
i'm defense of their country and the
preservation of the union.
There was no such blood shed, no
such loss of life, such fearlessness as in
jhe battles fought during the last
war Rev. Sooy stated that he felt like
paving q special tribute TO the private
soldier. In histories studied in the
public schools to-day the credit is al
ways given TO the leaders and the
several ranks of the common soldiery
who poured from the firesides and
homes of the country in response 20 the
call of President Lincoln, were forgot
ten. A person might come to the con-
clusion that the officers had put down
the rebellion, but it was only by the
two millions Of Soldiery and patriots
that the country was preserved.
Many Generals climbed to fame only
by the boys pushing them up on their
shoulders. and often against their own
protest.
DR.. Sooy made a fervent appeal TO
those of the present generation not 10
forget the significance Of Decoration
dav. and said that the old soldiers and
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic cherished the hope that we,
our children ard our children's children
keep sacred this Sabbath of patriotism.
The soldiers heart was almost bleeding
with the thought that the coming gen
Grafton would cease to remember him
and that in the future his grave would
no longer be decorated as mark OF
gratitude to the heroes Of the nation.
The blacklist crime Of which nation
could be guilty was that of ingratitude.
The perOratiOn of Dr. SOOy'S ser
mon was glowing eulogy of the great
services rendered by the soldiers Of the
Union army. thousands of whom had
not only given up their lives on the
field of battle and in The awful carriages
Of war. but who had made a life sac
rifice OF all ambition, prospects. hopes
of attainment. in order to serve thel.
country Many of the veterans were
present among the large audience ana
were profoundly impressed with the
others bv the eloquence and force OF
the minister's words in behalf Oh the
nations heroes.

NEW COUNTY OFFICERS.
They Go in and the County Attorney
Has a Case Right Away.

This was house cleaning day at the
court house. The new officers took
their places, but it was done without
demonstration or noise.
Probate Judge Wood handed the key
over to his successor, L. s DOlman,
at nine o'clock when the probate judge
elect and his clerk, ]. P. Wilson were
promptly on hand The oath of Office
had been taken and there was no de-
lay. Probate Judge Dolman's first Of
fetal act was to open a box of cigars
and there being no attorney present
to take exception Cor more than his
share) the act was passed unchal-
lenged.
County Attorney Aaron Jetmore and
his deputies, James H. Guy and Galen
Nichols, supplanted H. c. Stafford and
S. S. Urmy. Mr.. JetmOre went into the
court room to listen to the call of the
docket While Mr.. Nichols and Mr.. Guy
waited in the office for clients. They
did not have long to wait. An old gen
tleman and his wife, who live in North
Topeka, came in accompanied by IN
der Sheriff Lucas and asked for a war
rant.
Some one had pulled down their sta
bic and carried the boards away. The
deputies listened to the complaints as
good lawyers always do, but they did
not care to issue the warrant because
the evidence" was not on hand. I'm
der Sheriff Lucas tried to induce the
deputies to take hold of the matter and
issue the necessary papers but they
were cautious and he left the room,
the first kicker" of the day.
These new fellows have to be broken
in said Lucas. They do not seem to
know how things should be done. They
seem to think that all the evidence ne
cessary to covict must be on hand be-
fore any arrests are made. The truth
is that much of the evidence comes af-
ter the arrests have been made be-
cause the officers then have time to
work it up. They will get over this
after awhile
In the district court the name of Mr..
Jetmore was substituted for that of Mr.

he has since turned this over to what is
known as the Townsville Country Club
association, and it is now open to friends
of all the members.
Several years ago Mr.. Hanna visited
Mr.. Jones and liked the place SO we'll
that for the last five years he has rented
a cottage for his own use and passed his
winter vacations there. His cottage does
not begin to compare in outward mag
nificence with those of many of his
neighbors, but it is luxuriously furnish
ed, and no expense has been spared in
identifying its grounds. The most at
tractive room in the house is the sun
parlor. 1t was in that very room that
the boom which is to land Mr.. McKin-
ley in the White House was started.
Mr.. Mckinley was then governor of
Ohio and was on visit to Mr.. Hanna
when the latter first declared his inten-
ton Of making his guest president.
Besides MIR. Jones and Mark Hanna,
several other members of the Hanna
family have houses in Thomasville, and
thus every winter there is a happy re-
union under the pines, which this year
will be more joyous than ever.

FUNDING BILL DEAD.
The Pacific Railway Funding Bill De-
feated in the House.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Interest was
manifested in the outcome of the battle
royal over the Pacific railway funding
bill, which came to a vote in the house
today. Before the house convened the
floor was crowded with friends and OPP
ponents, and members were standing
about arguing the merits of the bill.
Such a scene of activity has not been
seen on the floor this session. The
galleries also were we'll filed
There were two substitutes, that of
Mr.. Harrison of Alabama, to provide
for a commission of three cabinet Off
GERS to negotiate a settlement of the
debts with the two roads, and the Bell
substitute providing that if the roads
would clear off the first mortgage so as
to advance the governments lien to
the position of a first mortgage the
government would agree to an extern
sion of the period for the payment of
the debt at per cent interest. To the
former substitute there was pending an
amendment proposed by Mr.. Northway
of Ohio providing that the commission
created should be appointed by the sec
rotary of the treasury, secretary of the
interior and the attorney general, in
stead of consisting of those three cab
met officers. The Northway amend
ment was voted on first, then the SUBJ

sultan, NJ. de Nelidoff is the man who
has or must say them, and there are lots
of people who would not envy him his
task, for the Turk is willy and treach-
erous individual to deal with. Not that
the ambassador need fear personal in
jury, but it would hurt him almost as
much to allow a diplomatic gold brick
to be palmed off on him as to lose his
head.
When NJ. de Nelidoff went to Turkey,
it was to succeed General Ignatieff, who
had been considered very successful in
dealing with the sultan. Yet Russia and
Turkey were then on anything but
friendly terms. Tt was predicted, how
ever, that the czar would lose what lit
tie prestige he had within the shadow
of the crescent. But no such thing hap
pened. NJ. de Nelidof and the sultan
seem to have got along together very
we'll Not only has Russia lost nothing,
but she has made a distinct gain. The
two nations hold most friendly rela-
tons, the stronger posing as protector
of the weaker, and the latter leaning
trustfully on the strong arm of the
former.
The recent developments all 60 to
chow that Russia has a firmer hold on
Turkey than any other nation, and that
the czar's representative has won a sig
nal victory in diplomacy, which may re-
suit very advantageously to the young
ruler of all the Russias. If it does, NJ.
de Nelidoff can probably have any place
in the empire for which he may choose
to ask, or retire with reputation which
will last for many generations.

MAKING DAINTIEs FOR THE PATIENT.
from the Sarah Camp school as Millais
is from house painter. She does not
insist on dining with the family, but
she does refuse to take her meals with
the cook.
Besides doing all that is possible for
her patient the new nurse insists on
taking care of herself. She must have
proper food and reasonable amount of
rest. If the case is serious enough to re-
quire it, she demands that an additional
nurse be employed, but generally she
can be relieved by some member of the
family while she gets the required
amount of sleep. Once or twice a week
she must have outdoor exercise. Then
she puts aside her uniform and goes out
for walk or perhaps a ride on her BIZ
cycle.
a wealthy lady of snobbish tendencies
once applied at a hospital for a trained
nurse. ''And l want one that can do
without sleeping, for my daughter will
need her constant attention. she said.
without sleepingr' exclaimed the
astonished matron. Perhaps you would
like one who could go without eating
too?''
At first glance it seems that the trained
nurse is an expensive luxury. Her sal
airy is from $25 to $40 week, the lat
ter price being charged in cases of ma
ignant and contagious diseases But
every physician will tell you that in
most cases the trained nurse is an
economical necessity.
AS for the life of the trained nurse
herself it is not an especially attractive
one, but the profession has its good
points. To become trained nurse she
must enter hospital training school at
any age between 20 and SIS. She must
spend at least two years in study. at
tending lectures, working in wards and
learning the details which go to make
nursing an exact science. Her hospital
life may be frightened by little f1irta-
lions with the young doctors, and she
may eventually become a DOCTORS wife
and not nurse at all, but on the whole
she takes her work too seriously to ad-
NIT of great deal of nonsense.
And when she has finished she is not
Lucille or a Clara Barton, but she is
a self composed self reliant young
woman, capable of making her own
way in the world and ready to become a
ministering angel at so much per week.

on which she has neatly recorded the
patients temperature, taken hourly or
oftener, and lot more of tabulated in
acknowledgements concise. From her
written report and from such other facts
as she is able to give him the physician
knows as exactly what has been the con-
dition of the patient during his absence
as if he had been by the bedside the en-
tire time.
But it is in preparing the sick persons
meals that her cultivated genius shines
forth at it's best The old fashioned
nurse could offer the invalid but two
dishes. One was Cruel, and the other
was beef tea. The Cruel was gene ally
an unpalatable, pasty beverage that even
a hungry we'll man would grumble at,
and the beef tea was usually little bet
ter. The new nurse, though, will take
chatting dish and prepare dozens of ap-
petizing little dainties that are digesti-
BILE and palatable. With milk and eggs
she can make such combinations as
would delight the soul of a gourmet.
She knows how to sterilize milk SO that
every last germ in it is killed as dead
as door nail, or she can pasteurize it
if the physician prefers limited execu-
ton of microbes at IT'S degrees F.
And then, when convalescenoe comes,
how she can sharpen up the dull appe-
tite with milk punches and eggnogs
such as none hut the most expert bar
tender could concoct! She can even give
points to the doctor himself about the
use of pepsin and lime water in milk,
ventilation, the use of antiseptics and
dozen other little points i'll improved
hygiene which he has not had the time
to acquire.
She can be trusted, too, to administer
the medicines with regularity and ac-
curacy. There is no likelihood that she
will give the wrong liquid or an over
dose, for she understands the nature of
the medicines herself and their effects.
Should an emergency arise, she can be
relied upon to know what to do, and
with her in the house the doctor can re-
duce the number of his visits sometimes
one-half.
The social position of the trained
nurse in the household is not fully IN
derstood by the public. She understands
it thoroughly, however, and so do the
people who have once employed her. In
the sick chamber, of course, she is an
autocrat, and in other parts of the house
she is on the same social plane with her
employers. She has had long and hard
fought battle to maintain her proper
sphere; but, with the help of the physi
clans, she has won it.
When the trained nurse first appeared
on the scene, there was a disposition to
relegate her to the servants table, but
she promptly rebelled. She took the po-
sition that if her authority in the sick
room was to be maintained she must not
be treated as a mental when she was
out of it. The physician was not so
treated. Why should she be? She made
it plain that she was as far removed
