MRS. ALICE OUsIOK MOORE.


When Alice Moore penned the tribute
to the memory Of her. father, John w.
Cusick, which recently appeared in The
UNIvERsALIsT, no one dreamed that
within less than four months from his
departure some one must write her obit-
uary. She was in many respects of
very superior type. When her father
was dying by inches she concealed the
fact that the same dread disease-can
cer-had fastened its hold upon her,
through fear that he might be worried
over her unfortunate condition. In ST.
lence she bore her suffering until she
was able to conceal it no longer. She
waited too long. The surgeons power
was useless, and she rapidly declined
but maintained her memory and iudg
ment to the last.
Early in life she manifested strong
desire for knowledge which never de-
serted her. At eighteen she began teach
ing. and saved her wages for better
preparation. She took the degree Of
B S., at the National Normal University,
and later completed the classic course
at Medina, O. For period of eighteen
years she was constantly in the school
room. and became noted as very sue
cessful teacher. Her mind was strong,
logical and penetrating. She studied
the writings of Spencer, of Huxley. of
problems with care. Though never dog
matte in her views, her mind bent to-
ward the acquisition of more. Though
in the school room so many years, yet on
her marriage she turned with care to
domestic relations. and gave careful at
tention to her household duties, yet
kesping up her studies.
She was her fathers counsellor; and
her brothers and sisters turned to her
for advice, and in affection leaned upon
her sympathies. She was conscientious
in all her duties. In 1866 she united
with the Universalist church. under the
pastorate of Rev. I. S. Guthrie. and to
the church of hsr choice gave literally
of her means.
Alice M >ore was the daughter of the
late John w. Cusick. born near Pyr-
mont, o.. Dec. IA. 1847, and departed
this life Feb. 10 1897, aged 40 years, 2
months and days. She was united in
marriage to BENZ. F. Moore, son of the
late Raw. E. Moore, Jan. IA. 1881. She
has indeed been to him in every sense,
a helpmeet. Alice Moore was true
woman in every acceptation of that idea
She leaves an aged mother, husband,
daughter, one sister, two brothers, be-
sides hosts of friends. Her funeral SER

rally exhaust the church funds and

orally exhaust the church funds and
the congregation.
The church killer may be in the
congregation. Ministers cannot be
held responsible for feuds which they
do not create and which they may not
be able to heal. They may produce
their share of church quarrels; but
these may spring from infectious bac-
terra, which have somehow got into
the congregation, and which break
out in various maladies. Some &C.
clesiastics who have really never
earned their title as doctors of divin-
ity may do so by enumerating all the
forms of disease which attack the life
of church. We venture to say that
it will rarely be found that a church
has died because it has been bled to
death by contributions. We doubt
if any church ever died of too much
missionary spirit. There have been
many deaths from stinginess,-con
traction of the purse, -resulting from
contraction of the heart. There are
deaths from torpor, govt, rheumatism,
marasmus. We know of one church
which has remained closed for months
because of civil war in the congrega-
ton; and we are mistaken if any who
have stimulated it will ever receive
a pension in heaven. We recall youth
full membranes of man who
never belonged to any church, or any
other organization, without sowing
the spirit of dissension. He was al
ways complaining of his neighbors,
in court or elsewhere, always involved
in some sort of broil. This man was
perpetual nuisance. He generally,
however, was 10 minority of one.
The more dangerous church killer is
he who can gather around him fac
tious element capable of making war
and killing church by dividing it
against itself.-Christian Register.

The Law Is Such That the Handling
OF This Nuisance is Difficult.

sThose fellows may be respectable or
derly and law abiding citizens, but you
cannot make me believe it, -
Tho above remark was made by we'll
known man who was detained at his Office
until nearly 10 o'clock last evening. and
the chaps that he referred to sat upon
pair of skids which were piled up against
she building on West Exchange street, re-
GENTLY vacated by the A. .B. Pitkin Ma

The business man said that as no was
walking from Fountain street toward
Washington, on West Exchange street. he
noticed the men, six or seven OF Them,
and there was not another person III

he paid no attention TO them, but when
he had passed them he heard ono OF them

at the same tiIno an electric light was 80
situated that he could discern the shadow
of the fellow on the building. The man
who was following called In an under

The business man admitted that at this
time cold shiyers were playing tag with
his spine. Not only did he shiver,
but, big drops OF sweat made
their appearance on his brow,
for at that Iime he thought OF the man
that was garroted in that vicinity not
many months ago. AT last the man laid
his hand on the business mans shoulder
and then he did think that his time had
come. The hobo said: "Say, mister we've
got a can. Will you give Us few pen

the business man was hurrying toward
Washington street. in hopes that he would
see some one that would aid him.
In the most commonplace way the

Just as much 'pliged' and then returned
90 the skids with his companions. The
business man, when he got onto West
minister street drew a natural breath, but
says as soon as possible will get an officer,
in a location that Is not infested with
buns, and vile women.

police are not much to blame. for accord.

Absurdities OF an Inferior Sort OF
Woman Who Feels Superior.

A sharp featured. middle aged woman
made life uncomfortable for smart-look-
ing man on an Elmwood electric car just
before o'clock yesterday afternoon. Ihe
man and woman got onto the car near the
corner of wey bosset and Dorrance streets
She was haughtv-looking individual.
and eyed the car well before making an
attempt TO board it, There were but two
vacant seats one OF which was on the
row of seats set apart for those who could
enjoy "A smoke. Tho other was In the
next seat forward. On the lntter row were
four espentable-looking working women,
one OF whom had "a large market basket
The naughty looking woman was obliged
TO take a seat beside tho woman. but she
did SO very reluctantly, sitting down edge
ways. Her escort stepped onto the foot
board at the rear end OF the car Ihe
woman looked back at him and in loud
voice said: George, get mp into the car,
and then faced around again in most
majestic manner. But George did not
get up" When the car had reached the
corner of Broad and Chestnut streets
George was still standing on the foot
board The woman spied him and still
louder than before ordered him to got into
the car.
Very meekly he said: "Mv dear, there
will be n seat in minute and then Will
take it. "You will get right up into
tho car now or else I'll get right straight
off, +" and when the car had got as far as
Clayerick street George was inside OF the
car, but tho remainder of the passengers
had positive evidence OF who was boss OF
the pair, and SONS very funny things
were said about them Some of the pas
sengers were in sympathy with the poor
man. but one woman who perhaps had
trouble at home said that it served the
darn fool just right. Everybody on the
car will know them In the future.

Secretary Gage Talks to the Cur

HE DEFINES BIMEfAILISM
A System Eros crying the Val
 ueS of Gold and Silver
He Believes that One Effect Of His Bill Would Bs to Decrease the DisCrinninat on AgainSr Silver In this Country

Washington. Zee. 17--Secretary Gage resumed his exposition of his ex- tensive currency bill before the house committee on banking and currency today Before the bill proper was taken up, semi-political questions ware asked by MT Hill, republican of Con necticut, who called Mir. Cages atten- ton to the statement yesterday that the first purpose of the bill was to commit the country to the gold stand ard.
 You are recognized as a republi can," said MT. Hill, addressing the sec retary, "and you are familiar with the financial platform of the republican convention at St. Louis; do you con- sider that the purpose of more firmly fixing the gold standard on the coun-, try conflicts with the plank Of the St. Louis platform on finance?"
 ''No, sir,' responded MT. Gage, mot as I look at the question of bimetad- Hsm. Bimetallism must mean one of two things; either it is two kinds of money of unequal value, circulating side by side by reason of the exchange of the less valuable for that of greater value or else two kinds of mo. ey of such intrinsic equality that they will circulate naturally side by sde We have bfmetallic currency in the United States now. IA firm establish ment of the gold standard, with such interchangeability with. silver as will make it acceptable on an equality with gold, will maintain this bimetal- lism."
 The secretary went on to state tha. this in no way prejudiced any steps that might be taken to bring silver up to a higher standard of value The bill, however, was designed to give such confidence in the financial abil- ity of the government that the dis criminations against silver would largely decrease.
 MT. Cox, democrat of Tennessee asked if the result of the Gage bill eventually would not lead do one kind of paper money, bank no1es, and TO silver except subsidiary silver. There is nothing in this plan to lead to that extent now" answered MT. Gage. "It is in that direction, and with further expansion and development it might eventually lead to such result.''

FOLDING BED SUCKED.
Dr. Cant Came Near Having His Neck
 Broken in the Performance.

Kansas City, Dec. 17.-Dr. S. G. Cant, manager of the University Med ical college foot ball team, narrowly escaped being crushed to death in folding bed while visiting his old home in Cowgirl, Mo. The bed was one of those massive affairs that stand around the house during the day pre- tending to be a book case. The doc tor had been in bed but few mo- ments when the heavy top lurch; d forward, drawing the mattress and the doctor toward the wall ith a heavy, scraping noise that aroused the house. hold. A sister of the doctor saw the bed as it began to close up and ran to her brothers aid, arriving in time probably Ito save his life, although she was not quick enough to prevent him from being badly bruised. The top of the bed caught him by the neck and shut off his wind like vice, tear ing some of the muscles in the back loose.
 Members of the family hastened in to the room and pried the bed apart. A telegram was sent to this city for Dr. Jabez Jackson, who went down on the first train. Dr. Jackson said las night that pr. Cant was not serious ly hurt. but that his escape from death was remarkable. Had his sister not been in the room Dr. Cant would have been strangled to death and it IS prob able that fatal injuries would have been inflicted had she not been pres ent to break the fall of the headpiec; of the bed.
