Died.

BoYD-Death claimed another of our
older citizens last night in the person
of Mr.. Richard Boyd at his home on
Beechurst Ave. Mr.. Boyd was in his
SEVENTEEN year. A sheaf Of corn fully
ripe. Some two years ago he retired
from active life, and removed from
his life's home near Connellsville to
Morgantown to educate his son George,
who is attending the University. He
has been confined to his bed for seven
teen weeks, having such vitality that
few men exhibit; but last night the
fire that had burned brightly and
strongly went out and left only the
ashes upon the hearth.
Mr.. Boyd had faith in the Son Of
God. He was associated with Prof.
Woolery in the eldership of the Chris
tian Church, and has added both by
counsel and money, in the church's
building now being built on Spruce
st.
Funeral services will be conducted
at his late home, Wednesday evening
at 7:45 by Prof Woolery assisted by
Messrs O'Hern and White. The body
will be taken to Connellsville Thurs
day on the morning train, and the
funeral sermon will be preached there
by Rev. w. r.. Warren pastor Of the
Christian Church at that place.

CAN'T AVOID 1T.
Result Of the Beef Investigation Shows
that the Charges Of Miles Were
Too Mild.

The result of the investigation into
the army meat question has been to
show that even with board appoint
ed TO white-wash that the worst
charges of General Miles were too
mild. There is likely to be another
court martial Of the scoundrel Eagan
who has already been rewarded for his
villainy by being given long vacation
on full pay. Some hemp may yet be
stretched by people whose high posi-
tions have as yet protected them.
Evidence is all in nearly and the
tenor Of all the honest testimony has
been the same. The grossest mis-
management and criminal neglect has
been characteristic OF the commissary
department These things should be
punished and punished severely. In
case they are not the people will see to
it that justice is done when they get
a chance to speak.

Lincoln md the Hair Restorer.
Here is a story OF President Lincoln
from the late Judge Carter, who was
q member of congress from Cleveland
during the war and one of Mr.. Lin
coins most intimate friends. 1t re-
lates to Quaker philanthropist from
Philadelphia who did not have hair
on his head. but took great interest
in public affairs and was constantly
calling at the White House in behalf
of somebody or other who happened
to be in trouble and took up a great
deal of Mr.. Lincoln's time. The presi-
dent treated him with great courtesy,
although his patience was frequently
tried one day when the philanthro-
piSt was particularly verbose and per-
sistcnt and refused to depart, although
he knew that important delegations
were waiting, Mr.. Lincoln suddenly
rose. walked over to n wardrobe in the
corner of the cabinet chamber and took
bottle from shelf. Handing it to
his visitor, he remarked:
"Did you ever use this stuff on your
headT'
NO sir; | never did,
"Well," remarked Mr.. Lincoln, II ad-
wise you ia try it, and if at first you
don't succeed, keep ii up. They say
it's a good thing to make the hair grow.
Take this bottle with you and come
back in six months and tell me how it
works"
The astonished philanthropist cover
ed his polished pate with his broad
brimmed hat and left the room, while
Judge Carter, coming in with the next
delegation. found the president over in
the corner doubled W with laughter
at the success Of his strategy, and be
fore he c5,.d proceed to business the

Flowers Under Artificial IieI,t.

Nearly all flowers in which there is q
notable proportion of blue are unat-
light. Hence purple and lilac flowers
do not usually look well at night,
though there are exceptions owing to
the intensity Of the red in some pur-
pies, which comes ont well at night
and causes them to appear as GRIM
sons. Yellows invariably lose bril-
liancy, and pale yellows become bad
whites under gaslights, but reds and
crimsons and all shades of pink and
white retain their beauty, and, as a
rule, green leaves are pleasing under
any light.

groom and his bride of 6S.

MeXioans. 1t wos the persistence with
which Hin obeyed this wish of his father
that led to his wonderful career
After a few skirmishes on the Mexican
side of the river the brave little band of
Texans, numbering less than 200. were sur

superior force of Mexican soldiers. After
a battle lasting two days the Texans were

to make him comfortable on the pronosaa

Shortly after this a messenger brought
word to Hill summoning him to appear he

command, and when he entered into tha

Davis-Merriam Feud Not settled.

Washington Letter in Philadelphia Press
A telegram from Minneapolis to the
effect that ex-Gov. Merriam is a candidate
for superintendent of the census is not
believed by his friends here to be correct
According to that telegram, Senator Da-
Wis Is opposing Mr.. Merriam's appointment
to that or any other place A misunder-
standing some years ago between the wife
of Senator Davis-and the wife of Mr.. Mer-
RAM is said to have led Mr.. Davis to
oppose the appointment of Mr. Merriam
TO any place. Through the efforts of the
Turkish minister, Mrs. Merriam recently
called on Mrs. Davis, and the report went
out that all differences between them had
been settled to the satisfaction of Mrs. Da-
Wis. This, however, does not appear 10
be the case.
