In MomOriam.

John II. Shofer, son of j. FL. and
Catherine May Shofer, was born Octo-
Der 10. 1871, and died July L. 1898
aged 26 years, nine months and two
DAYS. The funeral occurred Friday
July 10, 1898, from St. Mary's Cath
Ollie church, and was very largely
attended. TIE solemn requiem mass
was celebrated by Rev. D. J. MeMul-
len assisted by Rev. Father Spelman ,oi
Cambi idge City and Rev. Father Shea,
of St. Mary's church. The choir
rendered some very beautiful and
touching selections. At the close
of the services the Rev. d. j.
MeMullen made a few very ap-
propriate remarks, devoid Of sentiment
tally. but applicable TO the sad oeea-
sion. He dwelt on the STERLING char
acter of the deceased and his devotion
to father. mother, sisters and brother.
He said his parents did not want him
for mis- gold or silver. but for his love,
his presence and his company.
The floral offerings were lovely be-
yond description, showing how warmly
the deceased had attached himself to q
large circle of friends. The offerings
were so profuse that they had to be
taken to the cemetery In an open
coach.
The interment was in ST. Mary $
where the grave was lined
with muslin. smilax and carnations

Cinder and Smoke Preventer.

Every man who has ridden in a train
drawn by steam locomotive has had
experience of the effects of the smoke
and cinders which We're blown IN
through the windows of the car and has
wondered Why there was no means OF
suppressipg the nuisance. A Mary land
inventor Las tried his hand in the at
tachment Of cylindrical goose neck. BIZ
furcated at its lower portion, to the
snokestack OF the locomotive. The ends
of the divided portion terminate in a re-
ceiver for cinders located at the side of
the engine. To the goose neck is attached
a pipe which runs the whole length OF
the train. With this device it is impos-
sible for smoke or cinders to come in
contact with passengers even although
windows and doors be left open, for as
the refuse of the furnace passes up the
smokestack the smoke enters the pipe
and is driven back toward the end of
the train by the air that is constantly
rushing through it.

Charles Lecocq, after he is forgotten
as the composer of LA File de Mime.
Angot, will probably live in a leading
case in French law. When he married
the wife from whom he was divorced a
year ago. the marriage contract declared
that the parties should share III common
all property that might be acquired dur
ing their married life. The divorced
wife brought suit for half of the com.
poser's authors rights and royalties on
all works composed during that period.
The Paris courts have decided in her
favor, holding that intellectual works
are products of the husbands trade and
in the eyes of the law are not 70 be dis
tinguished from the material products
of commerce or industry and that unde,
such contracts the wife has right tg
an equal share in the profits of the hus
bands writings, plays, compositions.
paintings or sculpture Moreover.
though divorced, the wife continues to
be a business partner and must be made
party 10 al! future contracts involving
any use of authors rights in works pro
