DEATH OF MRS. WALLS.
She Passed Away at indianapolis, but Wa.
Brought Here for Burial.

She Passed Away at Indianapolis. but Wa,
Brought Here for Burial.
Thursday the sad news of the death
of Mrs NJ. G. Walls reached Plymouth
She died early that morning at In
dlanapclis. Her sickness, which took a
SUBTLE form of Brlght's disease, had
been of many months standing, and
the gradual weakening of her physical
powers prepared her friends for the
final crisis.
The remains were brought here
Saturday noon and were taken imme-
distely To the Episcopal church. Here
service was held at 2 O'Clock, after
which the interment took place at
Oak Hill.
Mrs. Elsie Walls was the oldest child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Z. 5. Bissell, and was
born al Montague, Franklin county,
Massachusetts, October 10, 1865, which
mad her about thirty-four years old at
the time of her death. The greater part
of her life, from childhood up, was
spent III Marshall county. Probably no
resident ever died who can claim trib
ute Of more sincere sorrow among those
left behind than she. In the social
world she stood high, and was always
consulted on any question of taste or
propriety. Her work as christian was
always faithful and sacrificing. For
years she was member of the Altar
Guild of this city and helped make that
organization whas il is. The guild girls
will be among her chief mourDers.
Mrs. Walls was the mother of four
chIldren-namely, Howard, MayOrie
Ireue and Marion. a II survive her eX-
cept the first, who died several years
ago.
The public extends its kIndest sym
pathies to her bereaved husband. par
ents, brothers and sisters, and many
grievlng friends.

A man who steals a SIoo horse
gets about two years imprisonment
usually. On the basis of the size of
the steal the Canadian bank clerk
should receive I,24o years. And
the New Jersey cashier who got
away with $I42,oo should receive
a sentence of $3.50 years. He actu-
ally received six. Stealing on a
small scale does not pay; on a large
scale 1t is quite profitable and not
particularly unpleasant. Six years
in prison is not long and rich man
can haye all the comforts of his
owl fireside usually.

Public sentiment seems to run
very strongly in favor of sending
General Miles to the Philippine
islands. Miles is certainly a good
fighter and has proved clearly and
Enthusiastically that he knows how TO
handle an army. That being the
case, no time should be lost in send
ing the general where he is needed.

Ninuedge Expo~tuIates ON Religion.

Jas. Nlnnedge, the itinerant preacher,
with his doctrine of Immortality and
his bitter denunciation of sectarianism
spoke last Saturday evening to crowd
on the corner of Michigan and Caro-
streets. He champions Christ after a
strictly original fashion and does not
hesitate to attack men personally and
call them exactly what he thinks they
are. The most bitter anathemas es-
cape his lips which have the effect of
making the listener wonder how he
dares to say them. Politics, churches
and the press are a few of his favorite
subjects for condemnation. We express
press 1t mildly when we say he Is an in
tsrestIng study. Some of his arguments
are go novel that they are worth look
inc into

In most of the counties that have
reported thus far the new county
councils appointed under the pro-
visions of the county reform law
are taking hold of their work with
commendable earnestness. There
seems to be disposition on the part
of the council members to comply
with the provisions of the law and
thus make a fair test of its merits

The TribuIntfOns OF an Army Nurse
Who Didn't Understand the Lam
Hua1e In Cuba.

An army nurse but lately returned
from Cuba to Washington declares that
never again will she go to a country
whose language she cannot understand,
reports the Washington Post. 1t was
before hostilities had come to definite
enc that she was startled one day by the
unexpected visit of her Cuban laun-
dress. The woman was intensely ex-
cited. Anxiety sat on her brow and
sorrow dwelt in her eyes. She gesticu-
lated and she talked. The nurse knew
not word of what she said, but the
pantomime filled her with terror. The
Cuban's hands seemed to speak of an at
tack on the hospital-of wounded men
butchered and nurses cut to ribbons. The
nurse was frantic. She must know the
worst. In the hospital was an officer
very i'll with typhoid fever. She knew
he understood Spanish. Only in a mat
fer CT life apd death would she disturb
nm, but this was obviously a matter of
HE or death. She led the Cuban woman
10 the bedside and there the story was
repeated. The officer listened intently.
The nurse held her breath. The CUBAN
ceased. The sick man turned his head
on the pillows.
She says" lie whispered feebly, "she
says the stripes in your pink shirt waist

do with it,

The queen of Belgium did not lack
sympathy in her recent illness, for, in
addition to the most patriotic express
sions from her subjects, kilograms and
letters came piling into the Belgian
court from all quarters, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Perhaps the most
original communications were from
England.
An Englishman addressed letter. 10
Princess Clementine Offering to for
ward some remarkable device which
had cured him of broncho-pfeumonia
inclosing a photograph which showed
into what a healthy specimen of hu-
mainly he had since developed. An
other, believing her majesty's illness
ane TO cancer, sent triple-weight let
ter describing several cures for this dis
case. A third said his valise was packed
and no was only waiting q Geographic
call, when he would go at his own or
Pense, and guaranteed cure within "a
hours.
There were also several letters from
clergymen Offering to go to Laeken to
pray for the queens recovery, ayerrinp

What influence the approval of the
Boston and Albany lease by the Boston
chamber of commerce will have on the
stockholders, may be a debatable
question, but it can be safely assumed
that il the chambers committee had
reported adversely, it would have been
regarded as a serious setback to the
promoters of the bargain. About two
weeks ago, the chances of the ratifica-
tion of the lease were. considered de-
cidedly slim in we'll informed circles
but since that time opinion seems to
have taken a more favorable drift. The
chamber of commerce accepted the re-
port of its committee without opposi-
ton, and the impartial character OF
the argument is worth notice. 1t is
asserted with positiveness, that the
ratification Of the lease is demanded
both by the interests of city and state
and of the railroad as well, although
any effort to influence stockholders. is
most emphatically disclaimed.
