CLAIMED BY DEATH.
Demise of Miss Margaret Drew,
Sister of Mrs. M. D. McCabe.

Miss Margaret Drew died at the
home of her sister, Mrs. NJ. D. Nc
Cabe, at a. m. yesterday, after
prolonged illness. Although the
end was believed to be near her
death causes none the less deep
gloom among all who knew her,
Miss Drew was familiarly. known as
Aunt May by her kinspeople and
near acquaintance. She was born
in Little Rock July 5, 1843, and was
daughter of the late Francis
Drew. She is pleasantly remem-
bered by many old citizens as one
of the representative beauties of
Arkansas. Her character was of
equal beauty, and her life-work was
resplendent with innumerable deeds
of unostentatious kindness and
charity.
Mrs. M. D. McCabe and Mrs. N.
Murphy are sisters of the deceased,
and she leaves one brother, W, F.
Drew, of Texarkana.
The funeral will take place at 10
o'clock this morning from st. An
drew's Cathedral, and the inter
ment will be in beautiful Mount
Holly. The pail bearers will be
Messrs. Frank ]. Ginocchio, G. E.
Stevens, W. H. Jarrett, ]. E. Joyce,
Andrew Carroll and Henry Schaer.
Arkansas Gazette, May 20.
The Hoffman Hardware Co., il
which Mr. Drew is interested, was
closed today out of respect to the
departed, and Mr., Drew left yester
day to be at the bedside, and will
remain until after the funeral. We
offer him our sympathy.

A letter from Mena to the city
editor says: ''Mena at present is
very much enthused at the finding
of oil. I walked out mile to the
oil field and found lots of holes dug
out of which oil could be scooped.
l brought back home a bottle full
of it. The oil burns readily in
lamps, 1t has broken ont in several
places, and every one here are gaz-
ing anxiously at their yards hoping
to see gysers of oil in sight. Our
city was visited by an electrical
storm last week and the oil Just
run out of the ground from those
holes and overaowed the whole
place" In the above connection
we can say that we have been
shown a bottle of this oil sent to
Mr.. Martin, and he tells us the
same is refined coal oil and was
doubtless put in the ground by some
one, as mines are salted with mug
gets and even men have buried
coal and salt deposits in the ground
in order to sell the ground at big
prices. 1t would do we'll for inves-
tors to look into these oil holes and
see how far down they 60 and also
how much they promise to produce
before going daft over them. We
have never heard yet of refined oil
spouting from the ground, but
strange things happen and the
Mena oil fields may be the, genuine
We hope so at least.

Messrs. O'Dwyer g. Ahern have

silk worms sent them from Peoria,
Illinois. These worms are about 3
inches long and half as large as a
finger. and are being fed on mulber-
ry leaves. After they are sufficient
ly filed they will go to spinning the
cocoon, out of which silk is spun.
Tomorrow or Thursday the worms
will crawl on frame Of mosquito
netting and will begin the. work of
making silk. 1t is a novel sight to
many, to even see the silk worms,
and their wonder will grow when
they watch them daily at different
stages. The children should be
carried TO the window and given a
chance to study natural history.
Mr.. Henderson has been studying

PREACHED IN BAYFIELD, CHAPEL.


 Rev. Dr. James G. Mcclure, President
 of Lake Forest University.
 Rev. Dr. James G. Mcclure, president of Lake Forest university, occupied the college pulpit, at Battell chapel yester- day morning. Dr. Mcclure Is Yale man of the class of 1870. His text was taken from Mark S:33: But when He had turned about and looked on His dis ciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, get thee behind me, satan; for thou savour- est not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men,"
 During the course of his sermon Dr. Mcclure spoke of his life as minister and how he believed from the time he entered college that 1t was Gods inten- tion to have him preacher of the gos- pei. The preacher spoke of the endless things he was obliged to deny himself in order to become minister, but said that he had been rewarded In so doing. The preacher dwelt at length on the Christian spirit in university and said that the Christian work now being done in most colleges anduniversitles has mo- ticeably increased since he was in col lege and he hoped the men would con tinue in their progressive work.
