Mrs. NJ. +. Shaw, wife of Rev. Charles
T.. Shaw, rector of ST. Johns p. +. Chapel
al lIarper's Ferry, died at that place Tues
day of last week, after lingering illness of
consumption. All that medical skill could
do to stay the malady was in vain, and al.
though she had the tenderest ministrations
of a devoted husband and loving friends
her gentle spirit was waited to that home
where parting is unknown. Mrs. Shaw was
a resident of this place for year or so
while her husband was assistant rector of
Zion Church, and her sweet womanly virtues
endeared her TO all who knew her. The
deepest sympathy is felt for the bereaved
husband and Paul, the Swear old son. The
funeral took place from the Episcopal
Chapel in IIarper's Ferry on Thursday
afternoon--seryices conducted by Rev. K.
>. Coupland, rector of Zion Church in this
place, and the esteem in which she was
held was attestcd by the large concourse of
people who attended. Many persons from
this place were there. The remains were
inferred in Harper Cemetery. The follow
ing tribute is sent us by friend

of lovely spring afternoon in the little
burying ground at Harper's Ferry, in spot
SO lovely that our thoughts, perforce, must
be lifted heavenward in recognition Of the
perfect peace that must be hers at last.
after many weeks Of suffering, patiently

Surely there was not one Of those gathered
around her grave who did not truly, deeply.
sympathize with the rector in his great
sorrow; no eye without tear for the little
boy, an only child, who has thus early
parted with his richest blessing.
MRS. Shaw lived in our midst bot one
short year, but long enough to win many
friends who have not failed to know her
brave spirit and her unselfsh lifc--a faithful
soldier and servant Of Christ unto her life'g

TO USE LAWToN'S SCHEME.
uefore HIS Death lie Had Worked
out Plan to Create Force of
Native Police.

Washington, Feb. 26. - Before his
death, and after giving much thought
to the subject, Gen. Lawton had
worked out a plan for the maintenance
of order in the Philippines, after the
close of actual war, which had been
submitted to Gen. Otis, and is presum-
ably the plan which will commend it
self to the war department when the
time comes to replace the regular
troops by other forces competent to
preserve order.
Gen. Lawton's idea was to create a
force of native police, whose officers,
at first in all grades, and finally, as
conditions improve, in the upper grades
alone, shall all be Americans. Some
such force as this is now successfully
applied in Cuba by Gen. Wood under
the cognomen of rural police. Owing
to the racial differences among the
inhabitants of the Philippines, it was
Gen. Lawton's idea that there would
be no difficulty in securing police who
should be proof against disloyalty in
the districts, apart from those of their
nativity, to which they might be as
signed. That this theory was we'll
founded is indicated by the successful
use of the Macabebe tribe by Gen. Law
ton himself, and by Gen. Young later
on in his chase after Aguinaldo in the
north of Luzon. The natives, by their
acquaintance with the country, and
the inhabitants, would be of great as
s~istance in running down lawbreakers.
Because of the similarity of feature
and figure of the Tagals, the American
troops have had great difficulty in dis
tinguishing one individual from an
other; in telling friend from foe.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Yielding of Prices In Materials Is
Considered to he of Benefit
10 the Country.

New York, Feb. PAR. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: prices in
materials are yielding. II not the best
news possible for some spectators, 1t is
the best that could come for the country.
since industries could not long prosper
without reaction from the extreme prices
caused by actual or supposed scarcity Of
materials last year. Some help comes
from new iron furnaces that have opened
or approach completion; some from the
famine in India, which sends hither ship
loads of hides; some from the much in
creased stocks of sheep, which have
weathered the winter and some from the
opening of new iron, zinc and copper
mines. The causes are many, but the re-
vision of quotations gives promise Of great
err activity in all the chief industries.
The great iron Industry has been en-
barrassed by prices for pig and billets
which were no longer sustained by the
gradually yielding prices of products. Con-
siderable transactions are now reported at
Philadelphia 81 to $150 per ton below recent
quotations; at Pittsburgh 10000 tons
bessemer have been sold and 1900 tons
billets. both iron and steel being reported
one dollar per ton lower.
Failures In three weeks have been ST.
241 ,250. against 1923, $50 last year. and ST.
293,439 in 1898. but In the previous years they
exceeded SO, 500, 900. Manufacturing were
F2,S5f,536 against $3,643.S6 last year, and
trading were 1882. $50 against 5 S.237,472 last
year. Failures for the week have been in
the United States POI against 191 last year,
and SO in anada against 40 last year"

Gets a niyorce.

Judge Kirwin handed down his de-
cision in Manitowoc in the sensational
Heinzelman divorce case. The decision
grants an absolute divorce to the plain
tiff, Herman Heinzelman, giving him
the custody of the children. Mrs. Helm
zelman is given S994.63 of her husbands
property, $25 interest and $25 attor-
ney's fees. The suit was instituted
about a year ago by Heinzelman, who
is in the shoe business Mt Sheboygan,
against his wife, Mrs. Minnie Heinzel-
man. They were married in January,
1883, and have two sons, one ten, the
other IL a old. Both husband and
wife some years ago became Christian
Scientists. Mr.. Heinzelman became
jealous of Rev. John +. Van Vlassaer,
of the Christian Science church, who
he alleged paid attentions to his wife,
