OBITU4RY NOTES.
The Late Mrs. Hattie Louise Chamber-
 lain.

|
 | Mrs. Hattie Louise Chamberlain, who 1 died at her late residence, 207 Orchard greatly missed. from the community where she was known and loved from childhood She was endowed by nature with an unusually bright and happy spirit and very loving heart These
 qualities made her popular with her young friends in girlhood and greatly endeared her to her many friends of later years. Never strong, she was al- ways willing to serve others to the full
 measure of her ability and found her
 highest pleasure in doing good both by
 word and deed to all whom she could
 help. Modest, humble unassuming,
 and seeking no praise for herself she
 gave freely of thought labor and mon
 ey to make all whom she might help
 happier and better. She was a devoted
 Christian loving her church as she loved
 her home, teaching in the Sunday
 school, often leading the music in the
 prayer meeting and taking an active
 part in the benevolent and missionary organizations of her church and also in
 those of a more general character in
 the city. Like her husband, the late James Chamberlain, called away in the very prime of life, like him she will never be forgotten by her many friends and their names will long be remem- breed in Plymouth church of which they were members and to whose ser vice they gave the inspiration of true and beautiful Christian character and the most generous aid of their labors and their money They were lovely in life and not long divided in death. One child, Louise, survives her mother. To her, especially. is given the sympathy of many hearts. The other most inn mediate relatives are her mother, Mrs. Harriet Riley, Mrs. Merwin of New York, and Mrs. George Chadwick Stock of this city, her sisters. The funeral services will be held at her late resi- dence on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

YOUNG MEN AND SOCIETY.

Senator Depew was asked the
other day what he thought of the
opinion recently expressed by Mr..
Schwab, president of the steel trust,
that ''society is a bad thing for a
young man with career before him. :"
He said: Society is ruinous. A young
man needs all of his energies, all of his
vital force, for his career
In the course of his talk Senator
Depew said shat few days ago he was
talking of this very matter with dis
tlngulshed lawyer, in the Office of the
latter The lawyer has two sons who are
college graduates, and in every respect
worthy young men, but they are over
whelmed with social attentions. They
are in their fathers Office, trying to
read law, but have not much time to
give to their studies. In the same
Office is another young man. He is
poor, and for the privilege he enjoys
he dusts the furniture and does other
odd jobs. The lawyer, in the course
of his conversation with Mr.. Depew,
said: "What worries me is the thought
that when I am gone this poor young
man will probably be at the head of
this business, and my sons will be in
his employ - if he cares to employ
them"
Poverty is a good thing for young
man to start with who hopes to make
something out of himself. Society is
mill stone about a young mans neck
"a young man who is capable of max
ing something out his life and is dis
posed to do so. Too much society is
not good for either young men or
young women. Society and business
do not get along well together. DeVo-
ton to society means neglect of bust
ness. Senator Depew and Mr.. Schwab
are right. Society is bad for young
men who have their way to make in the
world. Savannah News.

MARRIAGE KNOT. "

Few of those who talk of the ''marri-
age knot" realize that the knot was
ever anything more than a mere figure
of speech. Among the Babylonians
tying the knot was part of the marriage
ceremony There the priest took a
thread of the garment of the bride and
another from that of the bridegroom
and tied them into knot, which he
gave to the bride, thus symbolIzing the
binding nature of the union which now
existed between herself and her hus-
band.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

Whether ''debt of honor" In plain
English, a gambling debt, shall be col
lected by law is question about which
there is and, has always been differ
ence of opinion. There is a general
principle that the law cannot be used
for the collection of bet or other
gambling debt, and in most States such
debts are excluded from all collection
laws. Even where there is no law
against it jurles rarely give verdict
for the plaintiff.
In recent case in one of the New
York courts the jury departed from
the usual custom and decided that the
defendant must pay The bet was a
fair and open one, but the man who
lost refused to pay and the winner
brought suit and won. The case will
be appealed, and it is predicted that
the decision of the lower court will
be reversed.
It is interesting to note that the
defendant lost through his own testi-
mony. The question was put to him
if he would have taken the money of
his opponent if he had won, and he
promptly replied that he would. This
settled it in the minds of the jury and
they gave judgement against him. They
reasoned that man who intended to
take money if he won it ought to pay
when he lost, and that really looks
like a common sense view of it. It
may not be good law, and it may not
be good policy to enforce the collec-
ton of gambling debt, but the man
who bets to win ought to also bet
to lose, and if he intends to take he
should be willing to give. The decision
of the higher court will be interesting.

WHAT 1T MEANS.

Editor The Advertiser:
Will you kindly tell me what is
meant by the title "Pan-Amerfcan2"
SUBSCRIBER.
The word "Pan'' is from the Greek,
2 and in the expression quoted it means
''all" While there is something of
affectation in the use of the term it has
become more common in connection
with large assembIages, as ''the Pan
Anglican Conference" in the case
inquired about Pan-American refers to
the entire continent of America, North
and South, and includes everything and
everybody from Cape Horn to the
most northern extremity of the CONT
nent.
The Pan-American Exposition at
Buffalo, which Is now open, bids fair
to justify its title. There will be ex-
hibits from every country of the west
ern world, and there is little doubt that
the entire continent, North and South,
will contribute to the exhibition of the
natural and artificial resources and
productions of the American continent.
It wall be Pan-Ameriean in the fullest
sense of the word.-Augusta Chronicle.

TO TALK OR NOT TO TALK7

Il Silence Golden or Il 1t Foolish
and UnsocinlH
Is the old figure of golden silence

1t right that 1t should be so washed
away? We do not know the answers
to these questions. Perhaps you, gen.

know that there is a good deal more
talk in the world than would have been
considered strictly necessary by our
forbears. If you don't believe this, 60

Of the land to consider If what they
were about to say were not only true
and tried" but also necessary" The
idea held for quite time that 1t was
as reprehensible to waste words as to
dissipate wealth.
Our old friend Montaigne, however,
had tender place in his heart for the
talker. He declared, "The most nat
ural and fruitful exercise Of the mind
is conversation, and find the use Of 1t
more sweet than any other action in
life"
In some quarters members Of the fem

Fleecin1 De Maupassant.

It is said that the Norman peasants
hit upon a happy scheme Of fleeing
Guy de Maupassant, who once main
tanned near his home at Etretat rab-
bit warren of a few acres. They used
to plant choice vegetables and rare
shrubs in the adjoining fields, and ev-
cry year DE Maupassant had to pay
for the damage done by his rabbits.
After few years he got tired of this
sort Of thing. He computed that the
few rabbits he shot cost him about
$40 apiece, which was rather too much
even for an enthusiastic sportsman to
pay; so he determined to destroy his
game preserve. There were only four
or five burrows in the inclosure, and a
few ferrets soon dislodged all the in
habitants.
One night after the rabbits had been
destroyed the writer happened to visit
his former preserve and detected a
man skulking along under the trees,
with large bag slung over his shcul-
der. De Maupassant supposed that the
man had come to steal wood and chal-
lenged him. The supposed thief took
to his heels, leaving behind him his
bag, which was found to be filed with
rabbits Of both sexes. The man was
an honest neighbor, who, shrewdly
reasoning that there could be no dam
ages If there were no rabbits, had
thought it advisable to restock the
warren himself.
