OBITUARY.

John l.. Currence was born in Beverly
VIVA, April 20, 1929 When he was only
seven years old his parents removed to
McCutcheonvllle, O. Here in 1852 he
was married to Katharine Wagner, and
in the fall of 1854 they moved to Gratiot
county, Michigan, where they have re-
sided for forty five years.
OF eight children born to them, three
have gone before. The five living are
Mrs. John Wolfe, Mrs Thos. Bartlett and
Mr. Edmond Currence, who live near
Alma; Mr. Hiram Currence of Dakota,
and Mrs Geo. Love of Portland, Mich.
Mr. Currence had not been in very
good health for the last year of his life,
but had been confined TO his bed for
three weeks before the end came, We'd
nesday morning, August 2, about four
O'Clock. His long and eventful life is
closed, and his memory is with his SUR
viving loved ones, and the neighbors and
friends who have known him for so
many years.
A sister of Mr. Currence living in In
diana, died and was buried only few
days before his death. The news of her
decease was telegraphed the family, but
be was so low they did not think best to
tell him, and he died without know
ing it. The following verses were com.
posed by Mrs. ID. Goggin, aneighbor and
friend of Mr.. Currence.
One by one the shadows gather,
Round the home we love dear;
We shall miss, 0 we shall miss him,
For our father is not here.
Everyday we watched his bed side,
Bathed and soothed his aching brow;
Close the window. draw the curtain
For we have no father now
One by one our dear ones leave us,
Though We watch with tender care;
One by one our Savior calls them,
As we bow with silen prayer,

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.

1t does not require all expert to detect the
sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow
cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy
circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-
colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheuma-
tsm, dull pain or ache in the back or over
the hips. stomach trouble, desire to urinate
often, or a burning or scalding in passing it
if after passing there is an unsatished feeling
as if it must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, nc
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, Inflammation, causing stoppage, and
sometimes requiring the drawing of the
urine with instruments, or may run into
Bright Disease, the most dangerous stage o

Spain's PHILIPPINES" Commander Pro-
poses an Appeal to the Powers.
Madrid, March 14.--General Rios the
Spanish commander in the Philippines
in an official dispatch acQuainting his
government with the fact that Major
General Otis has stopped the negotia
tions for the release Of the Spanish pris
oners in the hands of the rebels, says:
81 protest in the name of humanity, and
believe the time has arrived to appeal
through the cOnsuls to the good offices
of the powers"
The dispatch says also: "I am told
that the Philippines are at war with the
Americans and that the prisoners can
not be ransomed for money as that
would improve the position of the in
surgents.'
A copy Of the dispatch was sent inn
mediutely to SenOr Silvela. the premier,
who had long conference with General
POlavicja, minister Of war. Both admit
the gravity of the situation, and the dis
patch will be submitted to the cabinet
council.
The government is perpleXed at see
ing no clear solution of the difficulty.
The plan of negotiating with Aguinaldo
direct, without reference to Washing
ton, has been abandoned, however, and
| Senor Silvela, in his capacity of min
| lister Of foreign affairs, will probably
! not await the decision of the cabinet re-
! garding the dispatch before communi.
eating with the American government.

Bishop Potter and Saloons.

Bishop Potter, Of New York, has
written letter to DR.. Lyman Abbott
about saloons which has attracted
much attention. The Bishop is
liberal-minded person, and usually
strikes from the shoulder. In the
course of his talk he says lit is the
old situation-as old as the religion
of Jesus Christ--with the Scribes and
Pharisees on the one hand, the Sad
ducees on the other, and, over against
them, the Truth" He then proceeds
to read the prohibitionists severe
lecture, charging them with "hold-
ing one meagre fragment of the truth
to their eyes, and denying great and
fundamental facts in human nature,
in their foolish and futile endeavor to
remedy the perversion of human in
stincts by extirpating them; true
children of the medieval systems of
monastic asceticism, which they
would fain substitute for the freedom
of regenerated manhood. The gro
tesque hypocrisy of the prohibition
system, from Maine to Kansas, is a
sufficient commentary upon their
theories"
Continuing the learned Bishop says
''the endeavors of wiser men and
women to better the condition-the
homes, the domestic life, the recrea-
tions-of their less favored brethren
go untouched Of these fit successors
to the Pharisees" He acknowledges,
however, that men Of wealth who
have dismissed the saloon question
as hopeless and insoluable, have in
recent years grappled with the larger
problems of the housing and better
ing of wage-earners in all the various
aspects in which these problems pre-
sent themselves, and have done noble
and generous things along the line Of
wiser and more brotherly considera-
ton for their fellow men.
"In the larger aspect of a vast
question, - concludes the Bishop, 'the
saloon is a mere incident. Its causes,
its phases, its relation to the home
life as we'll as the individual life OF
communities, the evils that feed it,
the miseries that support it; a wnole
host Of questions such as these wait
for a consideration which as yet they
have hardly had.
Meantime it may be well to relieve
the minds of fanatical and hysterical
people by saying that there is no one
cure for so vast a mischief as the
saloon stands for; and, generally,
that, in dealing with humanity and
its perverted instincts and appetites,
the Divinest Teacher that the world
has had would seem to have taught US
a law OF transformation, as that for
the regeneration, whether Of society
or OF the evil instincts of individuals
mot extirpation.
