Death of Mrs. Elijah NJ. Friend.

Death of Mrs. Elijah VI. Friend.
Mrs. Emma c. Friend, nee Schro-
yer, wife of Capt. Elijah NJ. Friend,
of Friendsville, died on June 8th,
1900, in the goth year of her age.
The deceased was brought up as
Lutheran where she learned to be
christian at an early age. When 10
years old she was married to her now
bereaved husband and for ten years
she lived with him as true, amiable,
devoted wife. Shortly after their
marriage Mrs Friend united with
the Methodist church where she
was converted. She went in and out
before the world as model christian;
all who knew her had nothing but
words of praise for her blameless up
right life; we feel that we could not
say enough for her faithfulness and
goodness as christian and therefore
leave it all with him who cannot err.
She was member of the Friends
vile church where she had much in
fiuence and power for good. A week
before her death her pastor was called
to her bedside to pray. Such scene
we never before witnessed. How
calm and brave and pleasantly true
christian can face DEATH She was
waiting patiently for the Master.
She gave explicit directions as to the
distribution of her effects and gave in
charge of sister her little babe.
Her husband, broken in body and
spirit, has carried out her every
wish.
God let her live week longer and
then called her home. She leaves a
husband, four children, father,
mother, three brothers, two sisters
and hosts of friends to mourn their
loss.
Mrs Friends funeral was conducted
by her pastor on Sunday morning at
10 o'clock. The numerous friends of
the deceased lady crowded the church
to it's utmost capacity thus showing
their love for one who was noble and
dear to them. The floral tributes
were numerous and beautiful.
May our lives be such as our
sisters; may we all live and meet her
in heaven; may husband and children
join her at last, nevermore to be
separated rev w. r. HENNEN.

Prosperity of Our Colleges.

The college year just closing has
brought more than usual prosperity
to the higher educational institutions
of Ohio. The number of students en-
rolled has been the largest in the his
tory of number, if not majority, OF
the colleges and the endowments have
been generally quite liberal.
One of the oldest colleges in the
state has, for the first time in the
nearly 20 years of its existence, closed
the year with balance in its treas
ury.
These are evidences, not only of the
progressive and aggressive spirit OF
Ohio colleges, but of their recuperative
powers. The higher educational insti-
effects OF the late financial and indus
trial depression. They were among
the last institutions to be affected and
likewise they were among the last
to experience the beneficient effects of
the revival of prosprity. In some in
stances this natural sequence was not
fully understood and it had discour-
aging effect. Now that the colleges
are sharing fully in the prosperity of
the times those charged with the di-
rection CT affairs are redoubling their
efforts in the upbuilding of these in
stitutions, with results that indicate a
large measure of success.
The trying period through which the
higher educational institutions have
passed has not been without its les
sons. 1t has shown among other
things the great necessity of perman-
ent funds, or endowments, for their
maintenance, and the energies of trus-
tees and friends of many colleges are
now bent in this direction. There are
only few institutions that have not
added to their endowments during the
past year. in some instances large
sums. The standard of learning in
Ohio colleges has always been high,
but the time is past when they can

Plague ia San Francisco.

San Francisco has been suffering
from a panic on account Of an alleged
outbreak of bubonic plague The local
Board of Health reinforced by United
States quarantine officials, besides 9TH
er experts CT the disease, claimed that
ten well authenticated cases occurred,
and that all werefatal In their results.
All OF these were among the hinese Of
the lowest class. just those among
whom the disease, on account OF their
filthy habits and the squad curround-
ings under which they lived. was cer-
tain to appear.
1t is denied by many that the COM
clusions of the Board were in any de-
gree justified, or that any cases of the
plague have really occurred at all,
In any event the belief that San
Francisco Is plague infested city has
circulated through the country and is
rapidly and seriously affecting busi-
ness.
Chinatown. comprising twenty
| blocks, in which mere than 10000 of
| the Orientals live for the most part,
in crowded and filthy tenements, is
| now surrounded by guards, and none
are allowed to enter or depart.
Ropes were stretched across the
streets and the attempt was made to
close all communications with the out
side. The streets were deserted, and
the Chinaman, unable to work at his
usual avocation, spent his time at the
opium pipe, or in gambling away the
hours At least 10000 Cinnamon were
| in danger of destitution. This con-
tingency the city stood prepared to
meet.
1t is not believed that serious ep-
| idemic is possible in a climate so cold
as that of San Francisco peninsula,
where the temperature rarely ranges
above 70 degrees, and the surrounding
water is so chilled that sea bathing Is
impossible to the average person
Every precaution was taken to pre-
vent the contagion from extending to
the interior, where conditions are
more favorable for its spread. Were
it net for the ignorance and utter in
difference Of the Chinese in matters
calling for the interference of the
whites. the task of stamping out
plague germs would be comparatively
easy
The disposition of these people to
conceal suspicious cases of sickness
constitutes the most serious difficulty
to be overcome-Scientific American.

Why He Can't Drop 1t.

With Populst candidate in the
field against him, Mr.. Bryan would lose
the whole Pacific slope. with twenty
electoral votes; and Of the states he
now expects TO carry, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming,
Idaho, Kentucky and Utah, with an
aggregate OF forty-nine votes, would
be carried by Mckinley. Here are
sixty-nine votes, most of which are
accounted as assured to Bryan and all
OF which he confidently expects to car
ry, that would certainly be transferred
TO his opponents column II he at
tempted by the policy Of lodging the
selver issue 10 pass himself off upon
the Democrats OF the east for what he
is not. And nothing that he can say
do or promise could win for him the
votes Of New York, New Jersey or
Connecticut.
The dog that dropped his piece Of
real meat to grab at its reflected image
was fabulous. No actual dog would
be such fool. Mr.. Bryan is not like
ly to throw away the Populist support
he already has for the Demacrotie
votes he can not get. He knows where
his strength lies.---New York Times.

Twice a Chaplain.

Two chaplainates of two Republican
National Conventions in one city is an
unusual, almost a unique, record. Rev.
Edgar NJ. Levy, VINO held that Office
during the stormy and memorable
convention cf 1S56--the Fremont con-
vention-has been reelected to fill it
again during the coming convention in
June. Mr. Levy, incidentally is cer-
tain that the Republican candidate in
1900 will have an entirely different
fate from the ill-starred one of '56.
The Rev. DR.. Levy was born at st.
Marys, Southern Georgia. nearly eighty
years ago, and was ordained in the
Baptist ministry in 1874. After being
ordained Mr.. Levy went to Newark, N.
j., where he took charge of the South
Baptist church. After staying in New
ark for several years he resigned his
pastorship of the South Baptist church
and went to Philadelphia. Mr.. Levy
was pastor of the Epiphany Baptist
church at Thiry-sixth and Chestnut
streets for fifteen years. He was pas
tor of the Tabernacle, Thirty seventh
and Chestnut streets, for the same per-
iod. After forty years of constant SER
vice he resigned from the pulpit in
1884. Mr.. Levy's first vote was cast
for Henry Clay, Of Kentucky, in 1874.
Mr.. Levy was surprised to hear that
he had been appointed chaplain for the
coming convention, but stated that he
had not heard anything official about
it as yet He is nearly so years of age.

Not Easy To Be President.

Former Governor James u. Camp
bell, OF Ohio. writing in Success for
June, takes sharp issue with Admiral
Dewey's recent declaration that the
duties Of the presidential office can be
administered by any man of fair abll-
ity. Mr.. Campbell says:
"A famous naval hero Is reported to
have said, recently, that it does not re-
quire an especially capable man for
president of the United States Prob
ably he was misquoted. as great men
are liable to be at times.
"In space Of a short article 1t wiuld
be impossible to enumerate the many
grave responsibilities resting upon the
president, all of which require extra
ordinary ability. Consider his legisla-
tive functions only. He is required to
approve every law passed by congress,
or to return 1t without his signature
but that seldom occurs. The presi-
dent generally has fixed and intelli-
gent ideas on all subjects of legislation
and either approves or vetoes. When
one reflects upon the infinite variety of
matters requiring federal legislation,
and that the president must be in
formed upon them all, a conception
may be had Of the intellectual versa
tility and strength required. AS an
executive officer, he has to administer
every department of the government;
to conduct our foreign relations; to
carry on war and to conserve peace;
to collect and disburse revenues; to
supervise the administration of JUS
| tice; to carry on the mail service, both
domestic and foreign; to execute the
laws relating to Indians, public lands
mining claims, patents, and an infinite
variety of other subjects; to govern
the territories, including our recently
acquired foreign possessions, and to
make treaties. In the performance oil
the last-named duty, he is guided by
the advice and consent of the senate
Waving all thought of these num-
erous and onerous executive functions
which, in themselves, call for supere-
minent ability, he must, as above
stated, devote much time and ability
% legislation. The vote power was
placed in his hands as the great pre-
rogative inherited from aroyalty under
the English law. By it alone can the
executive office itself and the rights
CT the people, be protected from en-
croachments upon the part of the leg
islative and judicial branches of the
government. 1t is very great power
and, by most of the presidents, has
been very sparingly used; yet, with
out its sagacious and intelligent eXer.
else, cur form of government would be
failure. This single pereogative or
the part of the president calls for very
great ability and discretion. The
power of the veto cannot be intrusted
to an inferior, ignorant or capricious
man-nor to one who has not carefully
studied the history and government o.
the country"

Some people grumble because the
English, with their large armies do
not make speedier conquest of the
Beers. 1t must be remembered that
when the English capture town 1t al
ways has name that would crack the
jaw of a wooden Indian to pronounce.
and before they can get after the
Beers again they must learn to pro-
nounce the name so Roberts can send
dispatch. This takes time.
