THE LATE DWIGHT l.. MOODY.
N. p Wood. the family physician. who
spent the night at the home, was call
ed at the request of Mr.. Moody. The
patient was perspiring and he re-
quested his son-in-law, A. P. Fit, who
spent the first of the night with him,
to call the physician that be might
note the symptoms. Dr. Wood admin
istered hypodermic injection of
stry china. This caused the heart to
perform its duties more regularly. and
Mr.. Moody himself requested his SON
in-law and DR.. Wood to retire. Mr..
Moody's eldest son, vii, R. Moody,
who had been sleeping the first of the
night, spent the last half with his
father. AT l:30 in the morning DR..
Wood was called, and when he reached
Mr.. Moody's soom found his patient
in a semi-conscious condition. When
Mr.. Moody recovered consciousness he
said, with all his old vivacity:
whats the matter? What's going
on here?"
Some member of the family replied:
Father, you have not been quite so
well, and so we came in to see you
A little later he said to his boys:
81 have always been an ambitious
man, not ambitious to lay up wealth,
but to leave you work to do
In substance Mr.. Moody urged his
two boys and his son-in-law, Mr.. Fit,
to see that the schools in East North
field, at Mount Hermon and the Chi
cago Bible Institute should receive
their best care. This they assured Mr.
Moody they would do.
During the forenoon Mrs. A. P. Fit,
his daughter, said to Mr.. Moody:
Father, we cannot spare YOU" Mr.
Moody's reply was: 81 am not going
to throw my life away. If God has
more work for me to do, I'll not die"
Just before IL o'clock the watchers
saw that the end was approaching, and
exactly at noon the great preacher
passed away.
Just as death came Mr.. Moody awoke,
as if from slumber, and said with much
joyorsness: Il see earth receding;
Heaven is opening; God is calling
me-" A moment later he expired.

to the DottOm Of the Sea.
Rome, Dec. GA terrible disaster
. took place yesterday afternoon at
Analfi, the popular tourist resort on
the Gulf, of Salerno. About o'clock
an enormous rock, upon which stood
the Cappuccini hotel, slid bodily into
! the sea with a deafening roar and
without a moments warning carrying
with 1t the hotel, the old Capuchin
monastery below. the Hotel Santa
Calerina and several villas.
Many people were buried in the de-
bris, which crushed four vessels to the
bottom OF the sea, destroying their
crews The mass of earth which slip
. ped. was about $4,000 cubic yards
~ The population Is in state Of terror,
fearing fresh calamities. Troops have
arrived upon the scene and begun res
; cue work.
1t is believed that the loss of life
is heavy, including a number OF monks
and the occupants of the hotel. AS
yet It is impossible to ascertain the
exact number.
Amalf is small, but lively town
of 1000 inhabitants, situated at the en-
trance of deep ravine, surrounded by
imposing mountains and rocks OF the
most picturesque forms. The Capuchin
monastery was founded in 1912 by Car
dinal Pietro Capuano for the Cister-
ians, but came into possession of the
Capuchine in 1888. The building,
which stood in the, hollow of the great
rock that rose abruptly from the sea
to height OF 230rfeet, contained fine
cloisters.

TRAVELLING p0sTOFPIcEs. Try
Some Opposition to the System in
Carroll County, Md.

Carroll County, Md.
Westminster, Nd, Dec. 23.-The
rural free delivery which was inaugu-
rated in Carroll county on Wednes-
day by the United States postal au-
thorities is meeting with opposition
in some quarters. 1t Is thought, how
ever. when the general public under
stands the system, 1t will be satisfac-
tory to all concerned To introduce
the rural free delivery GA fourth class
offices have been abolished in the
county. The new system contemplates
the daily delivery to and collection
from every resident Of the county. out
side Of Westminster. To accomplish
this task foui travelling post0ffices"
make daily trips of about 80 miles
each. The wagons, in charge of postal
clerks, start from Westminster at $50
a. M, the round trip forming loop.
In combination with the wagons arc
26 cross country carriers, who connect
with the postal wagons at designated
points, thus making chain system
which covers the county. The COM
plants, as q rule, are made by per-
sons who have not their mail ready
when the wagon or carrier arrives.
and their letters must wait until the
following day. When the people un-
derstand that their important mail
matter may Just as well wait for the
carrier in their homes as at the cross
roads country store, which was for
mery the postofilce, it is believed that
instead of opposing the new arrange
ment they will clamor for 1t.
