The tenth anniversary of the marriage

Congressman Gardner has recommend
ed the establishment of three rural free
delivery routes at Marlton. He has also
recommended the appointment of Mrs.

The case against Elton J. Buckley, ed
itor of the Grocery World, for libel against
W. E. Godfrey, has gone up into the air.
When Godfrey instituted proceedings
against Buckley, the latter retaliated and
had Godfrey arrested. Being without the
necessary acquaintance TO secure bail,
Godfrey was allowed to depart on what
was called parole of honor. When the
time came to have the case heard, Godfrey
was absent, so a short postponement was
granted. When the time arrived, Godfrey
was not on hand, but sent word that he
had been called home by the illness of his
wife. This is probably the last that will
ever be heard of the matter, unless
Buckley brings the fellow back on requisi-
ton papers, to answer two charges-one
on criminal libel, and one for violating
his parole of honor.

Mr.. Pendleton was followed by Rev.
S. Giffard Nelson, former pastor of the
Rantist church. who spoke as follows


edict there is repreve. Our passing hence is
the only fact of the future that is surely known.
The bereavement, sudden, unexpected
has fallen upon this beloved household, is the
sorrow, also, of the community, of this county,
and of this state. The voices that bemoan
our friend find their echo in the hearts of thou
sauds--of all who knew him throughout his ad-
mired in his native town, in the law courts
of which he was an ornament, and everywhere
that his duties brought him into contact with his
kind
Viewed in whatever aspect, Mark R. Sooy was
an extraordinary man. AS lawyer he possessed
remarkable powers. His keeuly analytical and
incisive mind had grasp and mastery of legal
principles that made him authority in his pro-
fession. and had won for him the respect of all it's
members. Next to that of the man who stands
before his brother mortals as an ambassador of
the Eternal calling on this earth is so sublime
when its dignities and responsibilities are ap
pretended and respected, as that of the man who
defends the rights and liberties of his fellow
creatures. OF his calling in its highest,
noblest, prerogatives, our friend had an ap-
probation at once chvalrous and religious. He
recognized his duty to his profession as well as
to his clients, he was hence student as we'll as
practitioner, aud had 1t pleased God to spare him,
there is Office in their gift that his fellow-citi-
zens might not gladly have honored themselves
by conierring upon him.
AS a citizen, his place in this community will
be difficult If not impossible, to fill. He saw the
right, uudimmed, and had the ability 10 assist
his fellows to look at duty with his own uncloud-
ed vision. Wherever poverty and struggle need
ed champion a friend, he was found in Mark
r. Sooy aud ON all issues of public concern his
influence was cast, overwhelmingly, on the side
of the right as God gave him to see It,
OF his unwearing, accomplishing kindness, l,
in common with hundreds, can bear glad testi-
mony. He was a loyal, true-hearted friend, and
those he admitted fully to his confidence and
heart, found him most delightful companion. l
owe more than can tell to the helpful illumina-
ton he shed for me on many questions.
To his younger brothers of his profession, his
nature went out 10 the fulness OF it's sympathy
None outside his own family and immediate
friends mourn him more sincerely than they.
Pausing In his own exactiug and ceaseless tasks
he always found time to aid and direct them over
difficult problems encountered in the course of
their practice. However immersed in business,
never saw him become impatient, never beheld
he was gentleman, and had kindly word for

all the large fur skins were spread for
bedding, the other skins being kept
under cover on the outside. On the
ground and along the middle of the
cabin fires were kept burning by the
squaws, upon whom, by the way, the
Indians always put most of the labor.
From this winter camp as a center
the hunters covered wide region,
sometimes being out for week at a
time, with varying success but ac-
cumulating good store of skins. To-
ward the end of December the bears
sought their hibernal retreats where
they remained inactive until spring.
The Indians would seek out these bear
holes, to which they were guided by the
scratches made by the bears in climb
ing the trunks. When they found
such tree they felled a sapling
against it close to the hole and one
climbed up to drive out the sleepy
brute while the others stood ready
with their guns.

WAR SHIP WRECKED
British Torpedo Boat Destroyer Goes
On The Rocks.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The torpe
do-boat destroyer Viper. the first
of her class 10 be fitted with the
Parsons turbine engines, has
been totally wrecked on the
rocks off Attorney island, in the
English channel. No lives were
lost.
The crew of the Viper have ar
rived at Portsmouth. The boat
struck Renonquet rock at $50
o'clock Saturday afternoon dur
ing a fog which set in while she
was chasing destroyers of the
opposing maneuver feet. The
Viper fired signals after she
struck, but the other vessels did
not heed them, believing that the
firing was part of the maneuvers.
The crew did their utmost to save
the vessel, but a racing tide
caused the anchor cables to part,
and compelled the crew to aban-
don her in small boats, leaving
all their belongings aboard the
vessel. A French fishing smack
acting as pilot, helped the crew
to reach the shore.
