disposed there was before her a career such
as would tempt the ambition of those who
look the highest.
She had been a a member of the choir of
the Presbyterian church for sometime before
she went to Kansas City, and had kindly as
sisted several of the churches of the city on
various occasions She was always accom-
modating and kind
She was called home few weeks ago on
account ofthe serious illness other mother to
whom she devoted all her time and strength
till she herself was taken i'll of gastric fever.
The attack was violent and dangerous from
the first and in spite of all that could be
done by the best medical talent, her splendid
physical system was compelled to succumb,
and on Sabbath morning July 23d, shortly
before s o'clock. she passed quietly away.
This was her first as we'll as her last illness,
and it is a solemn warning to those who are
young and strong, with bright prospects for
this world, that their sphere of service may
be beyond.
Miss Frost was disposed in Difference to the
wish Of her mother, as well as from her own
inclination, to use her voice in the praise of
God and while the church on earth has lost
one of its sweetest singers, there is good
reason to believe that the choir of the saints
in glory has been reinforced. Music is a
thing of the soul as well as of vocal organs,
and where there is any lack either of soul
talent or physical development the highest
results cannot be expected; but when both
are united to such a degree as in the case of
Miss Frost there is scarcely any limit to what
may be attained.
Nor can we believe that the translation of
the soul to the Paradise of God will interrupt
the progress of development of any God
given power.
Miss Hadie expressed her determination
during her illness to unite with the church
if she should be restored to health, and thus
confess her Savior before men She prayed
most earnestly that God would have mercy
upon her soul.
We know that our dear Lord is not will
ing that any one should perish, for lie says
"Whosoever will, let him come and take the
water of life freely
Let our young people heed the warning
and call upon Him while He is near And
let all use their talents and accomplishments
to praise and honor God on earth in hope of
enjoying His glory in Heaven
We extend our most cordial sympathy To
the father and mother, the brother and sister,
and the dear friends from the west who are
here by this sad providence.
The funeral service will be conducted to-
morrow at 8 a. m, at the family residence on
Eighth avenue.
The deceased was born at Frostburg. Md,
February 10, 1877, hence could have been
twenty-five years old her next birthday.
Miss Frost was here for short
while during her girlhood, and was
then an engaging, attractive little
woman. The many who remember
! her, as we'll as the numerous friends
of the family which founded Frost
burg, will sympathize with the parents
in a loss as touching as it is affective.
The heading of this notice Is a
selection from several reasons given
on her death-bed for clinging to life.

The Normal School committee held
II meeting Tuesday and discussed the
program for laying the cornerstone.
Without differing upon the matter
the conclusion was reached that il
was probably not the province of the
committee to determine a course Of
proceeding, but of the State Schoo
Board, and to that body it was left.
The committee will assume, how
ever, to hold grand demonstration
on completion of the structure, t.
which every man in the county will b,
invited to come, with his wife, mother
daughter, sister, or some other mani
] daughter or sister.
