TRIBUTE
To the Memory Of Edward Burnett,
Of Russell.

Edward burnett, son OF Wlll1am
and Rebecca Burnett was born in New
Boston, Highland county, Ohio, May
%, 1853. and died January 30, 1900,
aged 46 years, Smonths, and day. He
was the youngest child of a family of
seven, of whom one brother in Cali
fornia, one in Missouri, and a brother
and only sister in Hillsboro are left to
mourn the loss of this beloved one.
His childhood and early manhood
years were spent in the village of his
birth. In the spring of 1875, he came
to Fairview, to enter upon his duties,
as teacher in the Russell schools,
which profession, he followed for sew
eral years, and reaped as a reward
for his faithful service in the school
room the respect and goodwill of all
his pupils. For almost quarter of
century, he has been a part of this
community, and by his upright and
honest conduct towards his fellow
men, he has written for himself the
record of true, good and loyal
citizen. AS neighbor, his kindness
cannot be extrolled beyond truth.
Whenever there was sickness or
bereavement, a willing hand was al
ways offered to make the burden less
heavy to be bore. On the evening OF
December 7th, 1877, he was united in
marriage to Maggie l.. Strange. Two
children, to them were given, Bertha
O., and little Norman, who for four
short years, helped to make this home
bright and joyous, and then, because
of the Savior's great love, went to live
with Him in fairer fields of light and
love, unalloyed. During one of the
first series of meetings, conducted by
Rev. George Musson, at the Christian
Church at Fairview, he confessed his
faith in the saving power of Jesus :?
and while hes was very unpretentious
in his profession of that faith, yet he
showed to the world by his quiet, mod
est and reserved way of living, that
his hope was built on nothing less,
than Jesus blood and righteousness.
''For several months, he has been in
failing health, but seemingly was
growing better, until on Monday even
ing, January 29th, 1900, as the golden
sun was slowly passing from view be-
hind western cloud, in all suddenness
and without premonition, Death
Angel touched him, thereby removing
him from the scenes and vicissitudes
of this life, bearing his spirit home
ward to the just God who gave it.,
there to await the morning of the
glorious Resurrection. In his death,
the wife has been deprived of a kind
and loving companion, the daughter
of the care and counsel of an indulgent
father, whose pleasure it was to direct
her in the path of right. Yes-it is a
sad separation here, but happy re-
union with loved ones in heaven; an
other vacant chair at the fireside here.
another occupied room in the Fathers
house above; trials and sorrows here
to bear, crown in fairer climes to
wear.
When the waiting time is o'sr.
When from sin aud sorrow free,
We shall meet beyond the river
There to dwell eterns'ly."

THE INCREASE IN SUICIDES.
Common 90 the Whole Cfvilfsed
WorId-The Causes.

The decay OF religious sentiment
which is to be observed In all those
countries which are in the foremost
rank as regards knowledge, and espe-
cially the growth of scientific knowl-
edge, has perhaps conduced more 70
the spread of suicide than has any 9TH
er single cause. That the decadence OK
orthodox belief is an important factor
in the increase of self murder Is den-
onstrated ia great cities IKE Paris. Ber.
lin and Vienna. where ngnostlcism is
rampant and the greatest number OK
suicides occur
DR.. Ireland traces the greater portion
of the causes OF suicide to severe strain
upon the nervous system, wnicn may
be the outcome of multiplicity OK
causes. Among these causes may be
mentioned the increased strain or mod
ern life upon the nervous system. The
following are the mean annual rates
per 100000 population Of some OF the
European countries: Saxony, lS8l-7O,
suicides. 2S1; 1811-S0, suicides. 32o;
1884. suicides, $40; 1858, suicides.
333. In Denmark during the same pc.
riod, 2S3, 2G6 249, 259; In France, l29,

II will be observed that, with the ex'
ception of Norway, the suicide mortal
ity rate has increased and In most
countries very considerably within re-
cent years. The diminution In Norway
is attributed. says The Nineteenth Gen.
tury Review to the energetic attack
which the Norwegian government has
made Oh alcoholism. The same journal
saws that. In the case Of Italy particu-
larly. emigration accounts to some ex-
tent for the low rate prevailing there.
II is evident that emigration provides
an outlet for a great deal Of misery
and constitutes hopeful alternative
to suicide.
The rate OF suicide mortality In the
limited States Is | In $4,000. DR.. ID. X.
Dewey finds that in the New England
states since 1850 suicide has increased
about 35 per cent. In Massachusetts
II has increased In 80 years-lS6O-9O-
from 10 to 90 to the 100000 living and

The sacrnmentaI Token.

After nearly a century Of disuse. the
ancient sacramental token Is to be re-
vived in a moderate form in the Arch
Street Presbyterian church of Phila-
delphia. In the early days OF the
church little metal disks, called tokens,
were used to prevent the intrusion OF
persons inimical to the new faith or
unworthy of partaking Of communion
and to enable a pastor to satisfy him.

fulfilling their religious obligations.
The latter reason for their use still
survives. but is answered by the use OF
the communion card. The Arch stree'
church will revive their use simply 10
