MRS. LAVINA GILMAN.
Death of a Granddaughter Of q
Bunker Hill Hero.

Mrs. Lavina Gilman, who died in this
city on Friday, had reached the ripe old
age Of 80 years. She came to Califor-
mia twenty-eight years ago, and had
resided here ever since, returning once
to bury her husband, who, after set
Ting his affairs at the East, was to
follow his wife to this State, but died
before he had concluded his arrange
ments. Mrs. Gilman was drawn to this
State by the desire to be among her
children, Mrs. Sid Eldred, J. p, c. H.
and B. F. Gilman, all of whom have re-
sided in Sacramento many years, only
one having in later years taken up his
residence in Marysville.
One of her sons, James NJ, on the
outbreak of the rebellion, entered the
Union army and after four years ser
vice in the field fell in battle. The
mother came of Revolutionary stock,
being the granddaughter of one Of the
heroes Of Bunker Hill. The venerable
woman was a native of Tamworth, n.
H, where she reared a family of six
children.
Mrs. Gilman was a remarkably strong
and vigorous woman, having been sick
very little in all her life. She was a
woman of strong religious convictions.
When stricken with her last illness she
was convinced that her time had come,
and calling her children about her an
nounced her perfect content to die.

A TRAVELLING MAN
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regarding the
Care of the Health While Travelling.

Mr.. r. w. Wincherdon, a commercial
traveller from Birmingham, whose bus
mess keeps him almost constantly on
the road, relates in the Sunday News
the dangers to health resulting from
constant change of residence and the
way he overcame the usual injurious
effects
He says: One thing people travelling
cannot very well avoid is the constant
change in water and food; the stomach
never has an opportunity to become ac-
customed to anything and in a few
years or much sooner the average trav-
cling man becomes hopeless dyspep-
| tic.
| For several years I suffered more or
| less from Indigestion, sour stomachs,
| headaches, distaste for food, often no
appetite, gas on the stomach and the
usual unpleasant effects of imperfect
| digestion
Nearly every travelling man has his
| favorite remedy for different troubles
and I tried all of them with Indifferent
results. Finally on the train between
| Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day
overheard a conversation between two
| ladies, one of whom had suffered Sc
verely from indigestion and stated she
had been completely cured by remedy
which she called Stuart's Dyspepsia
! Tablets; I remembered the conversa- l.
! tion because 1t directly interested me;
and at the next town I inquired at the
first drug store and bought a package
| for fifty cents, and from that day to
this I have never been without them
| They are pleasant tasting tablets, not
a secret patent medicine, but composed
of vegetable essences, pure pepsin, fruit
salts and Golden Seal being in tablet
| form they never lose their good quail
! ties like liquid medicine would, but
are always fresh and ready for use.
/ carry a box in my pocket continu-
ally, and whenever / see any symptoms
of indigestion take one, also one after
each meal, and for year and a half
I have not lost a day by reason of poor
| health, and can eat anything and rel
ish what I eat; my digestion is abso-
| lutely perfect as far as l can judge
from my feelings, and although there
may be other stomach medicines just
as good as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
do not know what they are. Certain
ly for people who travel they are far
ahead of any liquid medicine, as they
are SO convenient; they can be carried
in the pocket and used whenever
needed.
1 believe they are sold by all druggists
at 80 cents. and believe anyone who
will try them will agree with me. that
for indigestion and stomach trouble
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are un-
eQualed.

ana -. ASSOcAAC1oAs
Kate Bories has filed in the Superior
Court, in her suit against the Union
Building and Loan Association, a no
tice of motion for judgment upon the
pleadings in said action in her favor
and against the. defendant.
The motion is made on the grounds
that on the facts admitted in the plead
ings she is entitled to judgment; that
the answer presents no issue of fact,
for the reason that the complaint is
verified and the answer unverified; that
the answer raises no issue of fact, for
the reason that it does not deny any
material allegation in the complaint.
and does not allege facts sufficient to
constitute a defense.
She will also move at the same time
that the Clerk of the court be required
to enter the default of defendant, on the
grounds that the time allowed for an
answer has been allowed to expire, and
that no answer or demurrer has been
filed; that she has demanded that the
Clerk enter default, but he refused TO
do so, and that Receiver O'Neil had
no authority to appear or answer or
demur to the complaint.
She will also move to strike from the
files the answer made by Receiver
O'Neil, on the grounds that he made
his appearance and filed an answer
without leave of the court so to do;
that his attorneys are stockholders in
the defendant corporation, and are also
attorneys for some Of the stockhold-
ers, and were parties to the proceed
ings by which the receiver was ap-
pointed, and such employment Of said
attorneys is against public policy and

looking throngs that gathered under
the beautiful oaks of Graham's Grove
did not look like people who were hav-

Of the good things of this world.
The committees had prepared every
thing necessary for the pleasure of the

footraces, swinging and all the usual
picnic pastimes.
A large number of people went from
this city by the 1920 train, while others

THE TINES WASHINGTON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 13 1898.

sian cities are obliged to live. David is
a simple. natural, strong man, with the
soul OF an artist, and in his interview
with a customer, who has ordered fine
~ chased ever and basin, to be mace
after Rheba's own design, the author
does some Of her best character draw
ing.
But what shall we do?" says David.
ruefuily; "the inspiration will not come
to me; so my fingers are dumb. In
Nazareth, wflere I lived with my father
before l came to this Russia, we only
worked when our fingers had something
to say, and thus it will be always with
me, and can do no other. Why, IL that
my eyes could see now what God means
me to carve on that ever and basin, they
would be finished by the third or fourth
week from today The mystery, the di-
vine part, the originality; they must
come from the heart, and only the Great
God of all can give that"
The character of David is somewhat
dealized, and grows decidedly weaker
toward the end of the book, ana the
same is true of the plot and of the other
characters. Firmly drawn and strongly
characterized at the beginning, the au-
thor gives the impression that she has
gotten herself into deep water with her
plot ard does net know just what to do
with it; and, 50. instead of climax IN

tional point of view. 1t is very comforta-

"The Riddle of Things That Aren

We walk in world where no man reads
The riddle Of things that are
From a tiny fern in the valleys heart
To the light Of the largest star
Yet we know that the pressure of life is

And the silence Of death is deep.
As we fall and rise on the tangled way
That leads 70 the gate Of sleep.
We know that the problems OF Sin and
Pain
And the passions that lead 10 crime.
Are the mysteries locked from age 10 age
In the awful vault OF Time
Yet we lift our weary feet and strive
Through the mire and mist to grope.
And find ledge on the mount OF Faith
In the morning land of Hope.

In Lavender.

Touch but the yellow folds which keep
The crumbIing dust that once was
bloom,
And watts Of summer sweetness creep.
Like wandering ghosts 10 haunt the
room.
And straight, with dreaming eyes.
In homely garb of russet brown.
The maid whose fingers robbed the bee,
To strew with sweets her wedding
gown.
Fairer than any flower that blows.
With bright face lifted to the day.
Led on by blessed thoughts she goes
Smiling along the garden way.
The lilies cluster on the stalk
The sucking bees make merry rout
Among the thyme beside the walk.
And beds with wall flowers set about
The sunshine fills the brooding sky.
The birds their nesting rapture speak,
And little careless winds go by.
With warm, light touches on her
cheek.
Her apron gathered on my arm.
Her dainty fingers cleaning slow.
She walks in youths eternal charm.
This little maid of long ago.
And none but those who love can guess
What thoughts her quiet pulses stir;
Or what dear hopes her visions bless,
Among the beds of lavender.

Ir ish Ivy.

Ivy of Ireland in my garden grows
Beside the foXglove that the wild bae
knows,
More dear to me than lavender or rose.
Gray moths about me fit and gold wasps
hum;
The bees salute it softly as they come;
The east wind loiters by it and is dumb
Or whispers very lightly of green rings,
The hollow raths, the fairy-people
springs,
And buried days when Boholaun had
wings
And rode amid the unforgotten Shee:
Or the west wind comes, laughing from
the sea,
And tells the youngest leaves of days to
be,
When Erin's grievous wound is healed
and she
Shall lift her gracious head and, smiling,
Her children coming crowned about her
knee.
Ivy of ireland, is the promise clear?
You climb toward the light 'twixt hope
and fear,
But would to God the day we wait were
