Funeral Of Miss Bingham.

Mr.. Bingham, Mrs. j. B. Case and
Miss Peters returned from Junction
where they attended the funeral Of
Miss Fannie Bingham. The Union
says: "All that remained of Fannie
Bingham was laid to rest in High
land cemetery Tuesday afternoon.
The funeral was held at 2:S0 p. m.
from the residence. Rev. Robt Evatt,
of the Universalist church, conducted
the services. The funeral was largely
attended by many friends of the fam
lily. The sudden taking away Of Miss
Fannie was one OF the saddest of
deaths. In the prime Of life; left, it
seemed, to take care of her aged
mother whose only child or near rela-
tive she was; surrounded by the com.
forts Of life and hosts of admiring
friends, the demise brings with it the
deepest regret, and leaves but one
comforting thought. namely; That
Miss Fannie had lived life the pur-
est and sweetest. Mr.. Bingham, be-
fore his death, had builded for the
home name to be proud Of, and had
left Miss Fannie as her mothers only
comfort and help to enjoy it. Mrs.
Bingham has the profoundest sym.
pathy Of the community"

The Dispatch would like to know
why Dickinson county cannot have a
successful farmers institute each
month or occasionally, like other
counties. No county in the State has
greater resources, or more brainy
farmers. Let us have an institute.

This is good suggestion. The
county few years ago had such an
institute and it was helpful meet
ing. Other counties get great deal
Of good out Of it. One devoted to
farming, cattle and swine industries
in this county would be ofmuch value
to the county and the Dispatch's idea
should be acted upon.

Armenian Exile Who Escaped q
Severe Fate.

Garabed Der Hagobian, the exile
who talked in the Evangelical
church Sunday evening, had lively
old time when be was in the land Of
prosecutions. 1t was during the
troublpus times Of 1895 that he left
Armenia. The Turks had besieged
bis native town. He was a merchant,
bis home and place Of business being
outside Of the breastworks they had
erected.
To prevent the Turks from pillag-
ing bis goods and using his home as
a refuge for their troops he set it on
fire, taking only such articles as he
and his vile could carry. His wife
succumbed to the hardships and ter
rors and died soon after. The siege
lasted three months. At the close be
found he was a marked man, being
one OF the officers, so he fled from the
city, going to London and from there
he came to New York, and then came
to Chicago. He made up his mind to
fit himself for the ministry and when
ever it should be safe for him to re-
turn to his native land and devote his
life to the conversion Of the Moham-
medans.
With this end in view he
sought opportunities to enter schools,
being enabled to do so by the Arme-
MAN Missionary Society. He speaks
the English language very tluently
when 1t is considered that he has only
been in this country about year.
The object Of the lecture is to raise
money to relieve the distress OF
widows and orphans in Armenia.
