DEATH OF CHARLES e. sUTLITF
Which Occurred Sunday Morning Janu-
ary 8, 1899, at His Home on Courtland
AVenue

ary 8, 1899, at His Home on COurtland
Avenue.
In the death Of Mr.. Charles E. Sutliff,
which occurred last Sunday morning at
TOO O'clock, Wellington lOOses one of its
most enterprising business men and a
valuable citizen. The summons was not
unexpected, as he had been in i'll health
for the past two or three years, although
during that time he had been able to be
on our streets.
Mr.. Sutliff had been rapidly failing for
the past month. His friends hoped that
the end was not near, but the best medi-
cal skill and care at the hands Of loving
friends could do nothing. Death was
due to tubercular abscess of the liver.
Charles E. Sutliff was born in Ionia,
Mich, February l6, lS45, and would
have been 81 years of age had he lived
until Feb. 16. He was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. William Henry Harrison Sut-
lift. With his parents he came to Wei
lington in 1852. He was educated in
our schools and after finishing his edu-
cation, began life as farmer, in which
he was successful. Later he moved tt
Wellington village where he entered the
coal business, in which trade he re
mained until his i'll health forced him tt
sell in the summer of 1897.
In 1868, Mr.. Sutliff was married tt
Miss Mary Hoffman, who survives him
as also do two children, son anC
daughter.
Mr.. Sutliff was man who will b,
greatly missed, not only in his immed
late family, but by all who knew him

Miss Gould,s Example

Fire Commissioner Scannell, OF New
York, has sent to Miss Helen Gould
letter in which he informs her that in
view of the services rendered by her
on the occasion of the Windsor Hotel
fire, he intends to present her with a
gold badge which will entitle her to en-
ter the fire lines at any fire that may
occur in Greater New York.
We are glad to see new honors con-
ferred upon Miss Gould. She is no
BILE young woman and her kindly acts
war have made her national heroine.
We do not overlook the fact that many
other women made greater sacrifices
than Miss Gould made. We know that
she simply gave of her abundance.
But she has set an example to the rich
men and women of this country that
must have a wholesome influence and
she has done national service. She
has made public Acknowledgement of
the fact that she regards her fortune as
a sacred trust and that it is to be used
in doing good. She has also acknowl-
edged the fact that rich people should
not give themselves up to life Of lux
urious idleness but that there is work
for them to do and that they cannot
escape the obligation.
Moreover Miss Gould has demon
strated the fact that the prejudice in
this country against the rich is due in
great measure to the selfishness of
riches and that there is no prejtldice
against those rich persons who use
their money in the interest of humani-
ty. If all the rich men and women
of this country were of the type that
Miss Gould represents, prejudice
against the wealthy would pass away.
