throughfeeling keenly his unworthiness
and longed SO pathetically to live to do
good. His work, however, had been
well done, thinking not of him self, he
had given his life for others and the
world accepted the sacrifice.
Early on the morning of the
sixth of January, 1898, the sum-
mons came and surrounded by friends
and loved ones, he peacefully laid down
his life's work and his life together.
On Saturday the Sth, he was laid to
rest in the cemetery at Barratt's
Chapel, not far from the scenes of his
childhood, where, with others quietly
sleeping, he awaits the Resurrection.
Those who knew him best and loved
him most will be powerfully influenced
by his self-forgetful toll for others, to
live nObler lives.
For while we breathe beneath the sun,
The world which credits what is done
Is cold to all that might have been.

POLI.Y'S DANDER UP.
Inflamed at Sight of an Offensive Bird
Visitor Wore on Her Hat.

Unnamed at sight of an Offensive Bird a
Visitor Wore on Her Hat.
A bridal couple who put in several
days recently taking in the sights of
the capital enjoyed themselves i'm
mensely until the day preceding their
departure. 1t then occurred to the bride
that she had not called upon "dear
Fanny, " who had been her chum dur
ing her days at the seminary. Now.
Fanny was still enjoying single blessed
ness, and this may have had something
to do with the anxiety of the bride to
call upon her maiden chum. George de-
INJURED feebly, but at last consented to
pay formal call. The bride dressed
herself i'll fetching gown and placed
upon her saucy head Partisan dream
in the way of hat. The hat was one
Of those indescribable creations of the
milliDer's art, mass of flowers with a
bird or two partially concealed in the
foliage, so to speak.
The pair went gayly forth and in a
hotel coupe were soon at the door of
Fanny's residence Their cards were
taken and they were ushered into the
drawing room. While awaiting the
coming of her friend the brides atten-
tion was attracted to large cage con-
tanning splendid parrot. She chirruped
cOOingly to the imprisoned bird and
wished she might take him out of his
cage and caress him. George remarked
that he looked tame enough and sug-
gested the opening Of the door of the
cage. Suiting action to the word, he
opened the door and the released bird
calmly walked forth and strutted
about, blinking his beady eyes know
lngly. The bride, with usual calls of
Poll, pretty POllP' coaxed the bird to-
ward her, and poll proceeded to climb
up the rounds of the chair upon which
the lady was sitting and perched herself
upon the arm of the chair. The parrot
uttered cultural cries of ''Polly, Polly
this word seemingly comprising her en-
tire vocabulary.
The bird accepted the caresses, and
apparently all was serene, but without
an mstant's warning she uttered a
scream of rage and flew at the lady's
headgear, alighting fairly thereon, and
eAASI AO4 u 4CW ullulllGS IQe air was 1ll-
ed with flying feathers and bits of flow
ers, while the atmosphere was fractured
by screams from the bride and discord-
ant cries from the parrot. George at
tempted to come to the rescue and had
his face badly scratched for his pains.
The lady finally shook the bird loose
from the flower garden she was wear
ing upon her hat and made one wild |
dash for the front door, followed close
ly by the bridegroom. Once on the pave
ment, they became somewhat composed |
and determined to return to their hotel
to repair damages. They did not tarry
long enough to see "dear Fanny"
The sudden wrath of the bird was
caused, George thought upon
reflection during calmer moments, bv
the fact that amid the flowers in his
wlfe's hat there nestled stuffed Caro-
line parrakeet, which the parrot took
to be u real live rival and proceeded
forthwith to demolish. The bride is

DEATH OF DR.. THOMAS c. rOmLlNsON.

The subject of this sketch. DR..
Thomas G. Tomlinson, was 43 wears
old, son of James Tomlinson, of
Frederica, a brother of DR.. Peter W.
TOmlinsOn, of Wilmington, and ma
tive of this State. At the age of 10 yrs.
after leaving Delaware College, where
he was very popular, he entered the
drug store of Dr. Samuel Creadick at
'''3th and Wharton streets, Philadelphia.
After three years, in which time he had
graduated in Pharmacy, he entered
upon the study of medicine in Jefferson
Medical College, from which institu-
tlon he graduated at the expiration of
three years more. 0S79) He at once
began the practice of medicine with
his preceptOr and former EMPLOYER
whose health at the time was in a precar
iOus state, and who was within the
next few months compelled to leave
his large practice in the hands of his
young associate while he himself sought
rest. In few months from this time
DIR. TOmlinsOn purchased the business
and leased the property. By untiring
industry and popularity, he was soon
recognized as one of the leading ply
sicians of Southern Philadelphia, and
was not long in possessing the prop
erty he then held under lease. Hisprac-
tice continued to grow and his duties
to multiply until at the expiration of
eleven years he found himself break
ing down and was obliged to give up
the work to which he was so devoted
and to go in search of health. Since
then he has several times recuperated,
but each time allowed his love for his
profession to lead him back to work,
only to be compelled to relinquish it
again. About eighteen months ago,
however, he consented to allow his
business to go, and his brother soon
had it sold to DIR. G. H. West of Phil
adelphia, who also leased his property.
Since then the doctor has done every
thing possible to regain health, but
his forces had been so long drawn
upon, beyond their ability to bear, that
decline steadily continued bringing
with it most extreme suffering, through
all of which he was never known to
murmur.
Always a men of high moral charac-
ties and intense convictions of what is
true and good, he sought earnestly
a closer fellowship with the Savior of
men, and at last came into the sweet
consciousness of Christ as his personal
friend and companion.
Immediately he united with the church
