YOUNG DIR. EDWARDS PERSUADED
HIS PHYSICIAN TO TAKE HIM TO
PRINCETON.
DR.. George x. Edwards, of this city
died at Princeton University, in the
old college building yesterday. He had
gone there TO be present at the Yale
Princeton game on Saturday and was
able to rejoice with the boys, 100 Of
whom he knew personally, and with
whom he was very popular.
The case OF Dr. Edwards was one Of
the saddest ever known In New Cas-
ties history. No man ever started cut
in life better equipped for its battle or
with brighter prospects. He was but
81 years old and a graduate of Prince
ton. 80, and a medical and surgical
graduate. After engaging in the prac-
tice of his chosen profession in Phila-
delphi8, he was appointed chief Of the
staff Of the Presbyterian Hospital
where he endeared himself to patients
and authorities, working some remark
able cures.
The young doctor was a hard worker
and soon became i'll, pulmonary trOu-
bles setting in. He came to New Castle
his old home, for a rest, and later, upon
the advice of Dr. Black. he went Wes
for a change of air. This proved bene.
fetal. butt the improvement did not last
and in April DR.. Black started West fol
him. consumption having set in. H'
remained in New Castle until last Fri
day. when he persuaded DR.. Black L
take him to the Princeton game.
A dispatch from Princeton to-day
states. DR.. Edwards was a member o
the class Of 'S9. There was a class re
union Saturday night, and ne ATTENDED

PATIENCE.
NeccSsnry to the Proper Rearing OF
Children.


Children.
1t is easy, we,say, to be impatient be-
cause of love; hard to wait for the best
development of the children. Where is
our patience, and is not this a selfish
love? Because the child is ours, is it that
we want it to do its best, act rightly and
commend itself to others, rather than
good because we think first CT its high
est good, then of ourselves. Pride min
gles with love, and wounded pride has
little patience with ignorance, mistakes
or faults.
The mother who has learned to be pa
tient with herself, not eXcusing or ac-
cusing unduly, recognizing what has
been and has yet 20 be accomplished
in herself, win be the wisest teacher
for her child. Children are so often at
disadvantage because they are children.
The outside requirements are far great
er for them, often disproportionately so,
than for their elders. What wonder
that sense OF injustice stirs within
them, even if it does not find words,
as in the case of little Nell, who said:
"When 1 do or say" referring to what
has taken place, you call me cross;
when Fanny or Cousin Sarah do the
same you say they have nerves. Think
I've got nerves"
Impatience is as surely taught by
tone Of voice, expression of face, by ges-
ture, by word, as patience is taught by
precept and example, and the child re-
spends as quickly. Young or older,
children are the barometers in our
homes, and the cloudy, murlSy, chilly,
rainy, stormy, freezing atmosphere is
as certainly indicated as the bright,
warm fair. sunny bracing and settled
weather. 1t certainly seems that pa
tience is one of the slowest graces to
mature and bear fruits in our lives. Pos
sbly. because its importance is not suf-
ficiently understood at first, but largely
because il means so much of putting self
under our feet. The more unseliish the
parents love. the more patient it is, and
Of course the child reaps the benefit
