PHILADELPHIA North Americana
The family of the late Robert q. Inger-
soil loved him az devotedly as any hus-
band and father can be loved. Their GRIEF
Is deeper. doubtless, than that of most
families In like aflllction. Yet this widow
and her daughters. who believe that the
parting with the dead is for all eternity,
have determined not 20 blazon their sor-
row by wearing the ordinary signs Of
mourning. Like the man whose going has
rent their hearts. they have no respect
for custom, unless custom has n support
i'm reason which convinces their minds.
Their course will cause discussion Of a
matter which ought to be discussed,

from the prOstration Of servilty before

reminders Of the marks OF trust given by
the mailed warrior when he removed MS

The petition shows that prior TO the

been sold to the Commonwealth bore ~

which the court holds that the act OF
