Ellen E. Garrison, daughter of Samuel
J. and Ann Spencer Garrison, was born
near Baltimore, Md, February "a, 1925,
and died at New Lexington June 20,
1898, aged 70 years. October 20, 1S46,
she was married to John Edwards, and
in May, 1857, they came to Ohio, where
che has since resided. February %,
1876, death claimed her husband and
father, and the entire care of the home
fell into the faithful mothers hands.
She was the mother of ten children,
seven sons and three daughters. One
son, Marion, went home to God in the
summer OF 1888. Nine remain to mourn
the loss Of a devoted mother. For the
past six years Mrs. Edwards has been
great sufferer, and for the past year has
been confined to her bed. Her disease
was of a peculiar nature and hard to
bear, yet through it all she has been
beautiful example Of Christian fortitude.
She has been very patient in suffering,
and her bright smile, CHEEKY words and
warm hand clasps will linger long in the
memory of those who were privileged
to be with her. Mrs. Edwards never
united with any church, an omission
which she seemed to regret in her later
life; but she had such a horror OF by
pocrisy and feared TO make public pro
fession lest her life might not accord
Herewith. As she expressed It, she
wanted TO live her religion, and those
who knew her best are sure that her
cheerful. helpful life was modelled a

Gen. Miles was of the opinion that
the action of Friday was in the nature
of heavy skirmish all along the
American front, particularly on the
right, and that its main purpose was
to develop the strength of the enemy
and, If possible, learn the vulnerable
point along the Spanish front. This,
however, was based only on the
lack of definite information and Gen.
Miles felt that any hour might bring
word of general engagement. Brig.
Gen. Stone was inclined to believe

correspondent OF the Boston Trans
cript says that he has recently received
from ex-Mayor Bacon. formerly Of Chel-
sea. Mass, but now of Los Angeles, Cal.
a letter IN which are given some inter
ssting facts in connection with the burial
services OF the late General Rosecrans.
We quote:
The General was greatly beloved by all
who knew him. and was especially es-
teemed by his neighbors. On the day OF
ne funeral, throngs Of psople came from
Tar ana near. packing the stress on the
route OF the procession, while hundreds

THE GROWTH OF soCIALIsM.

An interesting thing has recently hap
poned in the town Of Milwaukee. A
municipal movement was
started some time ago. and after a sharp
contest was successful 10 the extent OF
forcing the Republican convention TO
place a plank in the platform favoring
the general ownership by the city OF
public utilities. There was opposition to
the plank by the more conservative ele-
ment. but they were overwhelmed.
This is doubly interesting, because
Milwaukee is made up largely Of pros
porous Germans. and Germany is the
hot bed Of Socialism. We are told by
an Intelligent observer from the West
that the movement for municipal owner
ship Of public utilities is unquestionablS
gaining ground throughout that section
OF the country And this, he says. is not
confined by any means to the Populists.
but that chronic reformers have every
where taken il up-"the men who believe
that all sorts of existing institutions are
wrong, and that they are called TO set
them right: who think that gold is
bad kind of standard money. because all
the world uses it, who want to improve on
our representative system of govern
ment by establishing the initiative and
referendum, and who are affected by
the waves Of Social.stic thought which
started in Germany back In the forties
and reached our shores a few years ago"
l.. or
many conservative men who contend
that government is nothing more than
corporation Of all the people, and that
IL IS safer to entrust II with the fur
nishlng Of certain essential convenlences
which all the people must use, rather
than TO give this function over to indl-
viduals whose motives are private gain.
Here is one of the most interesting
problems of the age. Government owner
ship Of public utilities Is undoubtedly be-
coming more end more popular, and IL
is useless TO deny the fact. The spirit
OF Socialism is growing, and its growth
has been accelerated by the fact that
this Is a day OF organization. a day OF
giant corporations. Many men who pri-
MARTY are opposed to Socialism are
shaking their heads and saying that 1t IS
only question Of time before the giant
corporations are to swallow up all the
little concerns in the country, that the
day Of individual proprietorship Is pass
ing away, and that If all the business
affairs Of life are to be conducted by
corporations. then IL is just as we'll to
20 on at once 20 what they claim TO be
the inevitable result, government control
OF ali things.
II is a remarkable condition, truly.
There never was an age when the indi-
vidual was more assertive, more aggres-
sive, and when there was greater con-
Germ for individual liberty. Yet organi-
zation goes right on. Corporations are
becoming more and more powerful, and,
10 admit the plain truth, more and more
necessary in the conduct Of business
affairs.
Here is perhaps the most interesting
problem OF the age, this conflict between
the individual and the organization, and
/ the solution Is not IN sight.

THE rICaBoRNE CLAIMANT.

With the death OF Arthur Orion passes
away one of the most audacious char
acters OF modern times. He was known
70 the civilized world as 1.-The Tichborne
claimant" and so cleverly did he play
his game, that he came near succeeding
in establishing his claim TO a baronetcy
Of the kingdom Of Great Britain and to
estates whose income was sl25,OO0 year
Robert Charles Tichborne, born In 1873
was. after his fathers death. heir TO the
estates and title of his uncle, Sir Edward
observation-disclosures In 1853 he went TO
Brazil. where he remained for a year
or more. and then took passage for Eng
land on the steamship Bella, which was
lost at sea.
In 1862 Sir Edward died and Sir Rogers
youngest brother, Alfred, succeeded to
the estate. Sir Alfred died In 1866. and
the estate was left in trust to his postum
nous SON II was the firm belief. how
ever of Sir Rogers mother that her son
had been spared and was still alive. She
advertised for him, and was answered
by Arthur Orton. who claimed 10 be her
long lost boy, and he actually succeeded
In establishing himself in the confidence
OF the good woman. Indeed, Lady Itch.
borne died firm in the belief that her son
had been restored to her.
The heirs. however. were not so easily
convinced. ard resisted Orton's demand.
He was forced into court. and. under the
cross-examination OF astute lawyers. his
case went to pieces.
For five years. from 1867 to 1872. the
proceedings dragged along. and frslly
he was non-suited in England's highest
court He was then indicted for per-
jury. ard in 1872 was sentenced to four
teen years Of penal servitude. He was
released in 1854 and made a lecture tour
through England, maintaining the jus
tice of his position. In 1856 he came to
America, but failed TO arouse any in
terest. and. by way of making a living
tended bar I'm New York. He soon re-
turned to England, however. and in 1895
was induced by newspaper. in consid-

detailed confession Of his entire plot.

found upon this search. the commander

making the capture did so upon reason
able grounds of suspicion. but the more
thorough investigation by the court
shows the evidence not TO be conclusive,
the ship will be released. but her owners
will be entitled TO no indemnity; their
only claim 10 redress arises In cases In
which IT is found that there was clearly
no reasonable basis for suspicion. and
that the capture was made upon frivilous
grounds
The authorities have had wide differ
ences Of opinion pom the question whether
a nuetral vessel under convoy OF nation
al war ship belonging to the same neutral
State whose commander assures the bell
ligerent vessel that the 81 ps under his
protection have not In any wise render
cd themselves liable 10 capture, should
be free from search. One side has main
talncd while the other has denied that the
comfy Of nations demands In such case
that implicit confidence be placed In the
word of the official representative Of the
friendly na.ion. Spain. however. has so
far held to the doctrine that the word OF
the officer should be respected. 50 that
II an Englith man-of-war Is conveying an
English fleet 70 this country and the
commander Of the English war vessel
assures the commander of a Spanish war
vessel that intercepts 1t that the mer-
chantmen are not violating the laws OF
war the spaniard, 1t is to be presumed
will be satisfied.
In case OF war therefore. neutral gov
ernmcnts will as far as possible, most
probably supply their merchant ships
with conveys and our goods in such ships
would be protected in common with
those belonging to neutrals. Such OF our
merchandise as may be carried in neutral
vessels not so protected will be liable only
to the same dangers as all merchandise
upon the high seas is exposed to in time
of war.

THE WAR FEVER.

We are not as warlike as we seem. "A
great deal OF the warlike talk Is nothing
more than q revolt against monotony.
Every man who has a spark OF vitality
grows restless now and then and wants
something to happen. II he cultvates
this craving, as he is apt to do. If he is
not bringing anything to pass himself. he
will eventually have a demon on his
hands. such as provokes the small boy
who is always wishing that the town
would burn up, or that everybody would
be murdered just for the jolly excitement
OF Il. There are multitudes OF good
Americans. who are hankaring for war;
not because they want war, but because
they can't help hankering. They would
not like for anybody to get hurt. but they
would like for something to happen 10
break the monotony. 1t is a point Tor
the politician TO ponder We are not
a warlike people. but We Ike for things
to come to pass. and when we are not
bringing things to pass ourselves, our
anxiety for something to happen some
times makes us reckless OF consequences
If the people were really as warlike as
appears on the surface, there would nave
been during the past few weeks rush 10
the limited States recruiting stations yet
our information Is that the recruiting Oh
acer in the city OF Richmond has not been
overworked. but has in very truth had
very few recruits since talk began of war
between the United States and SPAIN
we do not deny that there is Generai
INDIGNATION In the United States against
spain for her cruel treatment OF her Cu-
han subjects and intense bitterness for inc
destruction OF our own battleship' Whlch
nv Implication is imputed TO her. we
do not deny that there is genuine SYM
n,,bv with the Cuban insurgents who are
struggling for liberty. and we have no
doub. that II war shall come, there VIII
be no lack OF volunteers.
But 1t Is none the less fact that many
who talk war and who are apparently
"snollipr for fight" have never yet
fully realized tho terrible consequences
TO follow a conflict. and are moved by
The love of excitement. by the spirit OF
adventure, rather than a wise patriotism.
A week ago It seemed that war was
sure TO come. and there was an under
current of excitement throughout the en-
tire Sabbath day. Many believed that
the crisis would be reached on Monday
and that before the week was out there
would be the clash OF resounding arms.
But. contrary TO all expectations It was
announced on Monday that negotiations
had been concluded looking to peace ana
that all danger Of war had been averted.
When the announcement was made IN
Richmond, 1t required no keen observer
20 note some disappointment III the
thuoghtless part of the community and
no doubt there were peaceable men IN
Richmond who while in their heart re1oic-
ing in the promise of peace, yet had a
sort OF sneaking regret that the period
Of excitement was gone. Everybody
hates O dull time.
