IN MEMORIAL.

Once more the death knell is sounded and another dear one garnered into eternity.
 On last Sunday, Mrs. McCro- ry, the beloved wife of our fel- loW-townsman c. w. McCrory. went to heaven where diseases and tortures do not dwell and there is pleasure, at the right hand of God forever. Mrs. Me Crory was born in 1846 and be- came the wife of c. w. McCrory in 1866. Since which time, they have dwelled here, with the ex- ception of few years spent in Texas. Early in life she joined the Baptist church and has lived a consistent christian up until her death. Whenever opportuni- ty presented itself, she was up holding the bIoodstained banner of Prince Emanual.
 We may look this world over for consolation in time of be- reavements, but there is no sur cease from sadness, no quiet for heart except the sooth- ing influence of Christ the Savior of the world. It is through his suffering that we have the hope of seeing our loved ones in Para disc where we will never say goodbye and where peace and love allreign eternally,
 May we all be ready 50 meet them when our time sham come.

SAVED BY UNDERWEAR.
FOiied the Efforts of 81 Tnr-and-
Feather Gang.

1t takes an agile-headed man to
get ahead of tar-and-feather party,
and such man is Edgar Plato, pian-
ist by profession. and a resident of
Topeka, Kan. About six weeks ago
Plato, who was divorced. married Mrs.
Hamilton, an alfalfa widow. living
two miles north of Topeka. After
closing the store one night he and his
wife started home in buggy. When
they reached the outskirts of North
Topeka gang of masked men
stopped the horse, pulled Plato out of
the buggy, beat him almost into in
sensibility tore his clothes from his
body and then painted him with a
coat of tar.
As luck would have it, Plato had on
two suits of underwear. The gang
tore off one and thought they were
down to his skin. The tar was there
fore spread on his garments instead
of his naked body. After treating
him in this manner the gang scat
tered. In the slSirmish the masks fell
off the faces of three of the men, and
Plato and his wife recognized all
three.
According to Plato's story, they
were p w, Hamilton. the first hus-
band of Mrs. Plato; William Hamil.

brother of Mrs. Plato. Warrants
were sworn out for the three men and

THE NEW CHALLENGE ?,
Dimensions Of LiptOn's Yacht VIII
Make Her Less Powerful Than
the American BOats.

According to the Boston Herald,
which claims to have reliable informa-
tion, Sir Thomas Lipton's new chal-
lenger, the Shamrock H., will have q
draft of 10 feet inches; beam 23 feet
6 inches, and her length over all will be
1876 feet The lead weight is to be IS
tons. Designer Watson believes that
beam such as he has given the Sham
rock II. is better for all-round perform
ance than the 26 feet which he gave
the Valkyrie III. 1t is very noticeable
fact, says the Herald, that the new chal-
lenger and the Britannia, the prince OF
Wales boat, have exactly the same
beam dimensions, though the former
has more than two feet more draft than
the princes old yacht. 1t is evident
from these dimensions that Mr.. Watson
has gone in measure to the canoe type
of midship section, more like the Jubi-
lee than any of our other American
boats. 1t is quite evident that the yacht
now building by Denny brothers, of
Dunbarton, is less powerful than those
being built on this side, and il is quite
certain. on her dimensions, that she
will not be able to carry quite the sail
plan of either the Lawson or the Bel
mony syndicate boat but, while she
may be ps naiized in this respect, she
gains in another important direction,
in having less displacement, less wet
ted surface. and, all things else being
equal, she would be quite as easily
driven under her canvas as the larger
and more powerful boats with their
greater sails spread.

YEARS WITHOUT A DAY OFF.
Long and Faithful Service of a Eire-
man on the Burlington
system.

Fireman Charles Bellamy, who fires
the engine that puns the fast mail
from Burlington to ,reston, Ia, is a
remarkable character. He has worked
for the Burlington road for 16 years,
and in that time has not lost trip
or received an injury. Before he en-
tered the service of the company, at
Galesburg in 1885. he was employed
on farm for three years, working
every day. This gives him contin-
uous service of 10 years without the
loss of day by sickness or from 9th
er causes. He has. since his services
as a fireman began, made 616,s4O miles
and burned 32.501 tons of coal. His
run is one of the hardest on the sys-
TEN. and the tenacity with which he
clings to his engine is remarkable.
Old railroad men say they cannot re-
call another instance like it.

Like other wonderful Developments
Of recent years, the sky-scraper has
become so common that to some 1t
may seem commonplace, says the
Youths Companion. Yet George A.
Fuller, the designer of it, was only 40
years old when he died in Chicago the
other day. Indeed. it is only few
years since the improvement in ele-
vators made it possible to rent offices
ten or more stories above the street;
and almost simultaneous was the de-
cline in the price of structural steel
to a point which enabled builders
y
fered by the steel-frame construction.
Chief of these is the fact that sky
scraper may be carried to almost any
altitude. like the st. Paul building in
New York which is 26 stories high, and
rises more than 300 feet above the
street level. Such a building yields an
enormous rental. There are no mass
i've walls to reduce the rental space.
Tenants willingly pay high rates for
the light and airy Offices. The struc-
ture shelters as many persons as a
whole township. and it provides facil-
tiles and conveniences few towns could
afford.
Whether the steel skeletons will ul-
timately corrode and crumble. time
will tell. At present we know the sky
scrapers are practically fire-proof. and
seem beyond the po,br of any recog-
nized agency of destruction. If it shall
prove that the designer of them did
not build for the twenty first century,
it must at least be admitted that he
served his own generation well.
