Seven Social.

The "Seven Social as announced last
week in these columns, to be given by
the Epworth League, is one of the events
of the past, and to say that it was sue
cess in every way would be but mild
aliuson to the realness of the occasion.
In the first place a program consisting of
seven parts was nicely rendered and
greatly enjoyed by the audience. Then
contest for prizes was engaged in.
To the one who produced, in writing, in
seven minutes, seven sentences in which
seven is famous, in the best manner,
would receive a book entitled "The
House of Seven Gables" next best a
seven pointed star A large number of
contestants engaged in the struggle for
the prizes. The judges were Mrs. w.
p. Shriner, Mrs. Y. White, Mrs. j. NJ.
Judd, Mrs. r. p. Heilman, Miss
Gussie Vossage, Miss Myrtle Taggart
and Mrs. +. Julian. After thorough
examination of the sentences the first
prize was awarded TO Miss Myrtle Lloyd,
and the second prize to Mrs. John
Kackenmelster.
After the contest was clo:ed seven
young ladies served seven kinds of re-
freshments to over seven times twenty
seven people. And while this entertain
ment was not gotten up for the purpose
of making money, but for a sociable time,
the seven cents admission being charged
partly out of oddity and partly to help
pay tor the refreshments, 1t may be well
to state that fortune favored the society
and they netted the singular sum OF
seven dollars" singular" because of the
occasion. May the League have many
more such happy gatherings

Local Neurology.
MRS. MARY ANN GAGER.

About ten o'clock last Sunday evening
the spirit of Mrs. Mary Ann eager took
its fight to the other world. The tidings
OF her death were a painful surprise to
the entire community, as malady which
was not supposed to be aggravated gave
no warning that her end was near. In
deed, few knew that she was at all indis-
posed. On Sunday she sat around the
house conversing with the family and
spending much of the time in reading.
A few minutes before ten in the evening
she retired, walking alone to her bed
chamber As soon as she retired her
husband noticed that she was quite i'll
and when he asked her if she was suffer
ing she replied: 90, no! I am just
going. A few minutes later she ceased
to breathe Thus peacefully and beau
tifully came the end to noble life.
"Mother eager, as she was recognized
by nearly everyone, was one of the best
known and admired residents of our
community. She resided among us for
y years, and during all that time was
known as an exemplary christian lady
She was woman Of strong mind and
prolific reader; this, together with
many natural talents, made her an in
teresting conversationalist, a wise coun-
selor and safe adviser Though seventy
six years of age, she was modern in her
spirit, habits and ways She lived in
the present. The presentation of most
any subject of modern life, found her
with well matured opinion.
She was a christian and a member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church for
sixty.six years, having united with the
church when only ten years old. Soon
after coming to this community she
united with the Methodist Episcopal
Church of this town, where she was
always regarded as an ensential part of
the life and activities of the church
She was active in Sunday School and
Epworth League work and was always
present in her pew in the public worship
unless prevented by sickness.
She was united in marriage with
Aaos Fl. eager on Sept. 20, 1847, who
sti. survives her. Five children We're
the result of this union. Those surviv-
ing are Mrs Clara A. Healy, of Empo-
rum; Mrs, Mary E. Reese and Mrs
Amy Reese, of Costello, all of whom were
present at the funeral.
Her funeral services were held at the
Methodist Episcopal Church on Tuesday
afternoon at three o'clock and were in
charge of her pastor Rev. MILFORD p
Shriner The church was draped in
mourning as was also her pew Many
beautiful floral offerings attested the high
esteem in which she was held one from
the Sunday School, two from her Sunday
School class, beautiful floral League
emblem from the Epworth League and
handsome wreath from the Junior
League. The burial was in Newton

King of the kIondike Fails.

Alexander Mcdonald, King of the
Klondike has failed. His liabilities
are estimated at $4,000, 900. His assets
are of uncertain value.
In his formal declaration of insolv-
ency filed at Dawson City, July 30,
Mcdonald states his liabilities to be
approximately $4,000, 900, while there
is no way of fully computing his assets
as his investments are of proble-
matical value. AS they will have to
be sacrificed, Mcdonald himself says
there will not be enough to go
around, although he believes their
ultimate value will prove 500, ,0G0, 900

LEG BROKEN.

While Mr.. Thos McGrain, who lives
at the corner of Third and Spruce streets,
was assisting in unloading heavy iron
band at the furnace, last Thursday, it
suddenly toppled over on him pinning

leg was broken below the knee. He was
placed on stretcher and carried to his
home, where DR.. Smith dressed his in

at seems almost increditable that in
the neighborhood Of $4,000 in actual
cash should have been confined to letters
during the last year, and harder still to
credit that the most exhaustive efforts

addressed are kept on file for four years

Not Allowed at Funerals.

One of the curious social laws OF
Peru, which, by the way, was also in
force in England till within recent
years, fOrbids women to attend funer-
ais, and they do not appear at wed
dings unless they are very intimate
friends. When a funeral procession
passes Through the streets the coffin
is carried upon the shoulders of the
pall-bearers, who are followed by an
empty hearse drawn by two. four or
six horses. according to the means Of
the mourners and their desire for dis
play. All the male members of the
family and friends of the deceased fol-
low on foot, with a line of empty car
riages behind them. AS long as they
are in the presence of the dead it is
considered proper and necessary evil
dance of respect to walk. After the
body has been committed to the grave
those who attend the funeral are
brought home in the carriages.

The SITUATION.

The Board OF Health, having accept
ed the duty of compelling private prop
erty-owners to clean their premises at
their own expense. is entitled TO the
active support, not only of the public
but of the Council of State. II seems
TO the Advertiser that the time is now
at hand for making the desired appro-
priation of 100000 for permanent.
)sanitary works. If no more cases of
plague should occur and the Quaran-
tine of the port be declared or. then
the Council OF State would have no
authority 10 appropriate anything and
the task would devolye upon n Legis-
la.ure which may not lawfully sit. So
the time to appropriate is now and the
reason for doing 50 ne need Of erect
ing safeguards against any future cpl
denies whether bubonic plague. chol-
era or yellow fever.
There is also. if the prescn, vista

urgency. The Board Of Health saws

An Animal Cemetery.

One OF the features of the pet dog
show in New York served to illustrate
the extent to which the fad of wealthy
people for pet animals has been car
red. This exhibit was plan in wood
and grass of national cemetery for
all sorts of pet animals, located al
Coxsackie, n. Y. The cemetery idea
was laughed at by those who are not
enthusiastic owners of pets, but that
the latter take it seriously was proved
by one of the Society of Pet Owners,
with which the scheme originated
when he explained that already
eighteen plots had been taken by
wealthy people, most of them New
York women. Two miles of avenues
and walks are laid out in the cemetery,
and marble monuments to dogs, birds
and horses dot this unique graveyard.

CHANCES OF THE FUTURE.

The possibility that France may war
upon England and thus make a Boer
triumph certain in South Africa is an
interesting study in the light of Amer
lean precedent. Will history repeat
itself in this respect as it does in so
many others?
Close students OF the war OF the
revolution must admit that the Amer
leans might have been borne down but
for French intervention. They We're
sadly divided, a million of the three
million population being Tories. Dis
sension had followed frequent defeats;
the Colonial credit was nearly exhaust
ed; the British blockade was stringent:
the army and people were discouraged
Then France stepped in and the situa-
ton changed like the transformation
scene in n play. DissensiOn ended,
credit came back, the blockade was
broken and the army and people took
up their burdens with light heart.
Should France step in now the Beers
would surely win, Independently of
what the result might be TO rhe
French. They would get, for a year at
least. pretty clear field of operations
between Zambezi and the Cape and
that would put them in possession of
the country and create. by automatic
process, the United States of South AT
rica which used to be the dream of the
Afrikander Bund. The Beers them
selves cannot do all this, despite their
valor and good luck. They have not
yet felt the impact OF the British En-
pire. If they ever do they will be
pressed back to the wilderness. Their
only chance lies in French interven-
ton.
Will such intervention come? A
short time will tell. The French are
smarting under the rebuff of Fashoda
