he moved TO his late residence, near
Bolivar. The community in which
he lived has lost one, pure in word

he occupied, aud attracted by his
gentlemanly courtesy all with whom
he came in contact, faithful in all
his relations, loved truth and truth

Electric Lights.
BOLIVAR, March 81

BOLIVAR, March 81.
To THE EDITOR OF THE BULLETIN:
AS "a stranger in strange land'
| am greatly surprised to learn that
there has been considerable delay in
the matter of introducing electric
lighting into community of such
enlightened citizenship. A matter
that SO directly affects the material
growth and prosperity of town as
electric lighting should need no
urging upon the people and they
should lend every possible effort to
securing this great indicator of com
fort and advanced civilization.
Aside from the fact that Bolivar
can be thoroughly and brilliantly
lighted with electricity for the mon
ey that is annually paid to the Stan
dard Oil Trust we have the follow
ing additional inducements:
l. Better and more clearly, and
consequently more healthful light
ing.
2. Street lighting that improves
IHS lOWu anu IudkeS II SAFER tTOuu
depredations of midnight thieves
and thugs.
3. Reduced insurance and less
liability of CONGREGATIONS.
4. Modern appearance that at
once impresses strangers and visi-
tors with the fact that the town is
progressive and up to date.
5. Investment of capital and the
establishment of another home en-
terprise.
All of these things help to build
up town and push it forward. The
place that clings to the ancient Ker-
osene lamp and the Anticipated "tal-
low dip" is laughed to scorn by peo-
pie who are looking for live COM
munities in which to invest their
money or make their home.
Bolivar is standing in her own
light every minute she delays in
getting good lights. She should
have them, and as quickly as posi-
BILE. The live,. wide-awake citizens
should put their shoulder to the
wheel and push with will.

IT is among the possibili-
ties, we might say probabili-
ties, that at no distant day
Bolivar will be lighted by
electricity. Scverrl OF our
enterprising citizens have
become interested in the mat
ter and agree to put in a
plant, provided a certain
number of lights are contract
ed for. The required num-
Der has not yet been reached,
a thorough canvass not hav-
ing been made, but the pro-
motors feel greatly encourage
ed over the outlook. The
enterprise deserves the hearty
support of all who have the
interest of the town at heart.
Few places of Bolivar's size
are without electric lights.
There are many points in ia
vor of electric lights that
could be urged, but it is only
necessary to state that it is
the most satisfactory and
cheapest of all.

when the sad news of the death of
JAS. A. Black reached the ears Of
his many sympathetic and solicitous
friends.
After several weeks of intense
suffering from influenza with menin-
gets complication which was pa
tiently borne for the Masters sake,
he quietly gave up tie struggle with
the tyrant death, and gently yield
ed his spirit to God, who gave it.
In the family Gem etery in the pres
ence of large number of bereaved
friends and relatives, his body was
laid to rest.
Taken in the prime of life from
d fond and loving home where,
seemingly, he was so much needed

IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Temelia Middleton was born
in Franklin County. Ala, March IL,
1880. She was married to Mr.. D..
Z Middleton, Feb. l, 1849, and TO
this union were born five children,
all of whom, with the husband, sur
vive her. She made public pro
fession of her faith in Christ during
the year 1870 and united first with
the Baptist and afterw ards, with her
husband, entered into the Church of
the Disciples, retaining her mem
bership in that church until she
died. In 1856 she moved to Grand
Junction which has ever since been
her home. Mrs. Middleton had
been in feeble health for some time
and on this account had been denied
the privilege of regular attendance
upon the public services of the sane
tuarv With an enfeebled constitu-
ton incident TO one of her age, she
was unable to withstand the severe
attack of pneumonia and died March
"a, 1901. Loving children and
faithful friends did all they could
to nurse her through this sickness.
DR.. Bolton, a relative, was with
her all the time and his constant at
tention and faithful services were
appreciated by the family. These
briefly are the facts connected with
her life but the love and devotion
as wife, mother, cannot always be
expressed in words and yet it will
ever live in the hearts of loved ones
by whom she is held in great ven
Grafton and she will be remembered
by all who knew her as a kind, SYM
pathetic and faithful friend and
neighbor. She had previously pro-
fessed her faith in Christ and His
promise is 'he that believeth in til e
Son hath everlasting life" To
those sorrowing hearts mortals can
do nothing more than commend to
Him who can "comfort as mother"
and by whose grace we are enabled
to say "Thy will be done" W.S.C.

Washington, March 26.-Admiral
Rogers cables from Tangier, Morocco,
to the navy department that he arrived
at that port this morning on the New
York. He is to take United States Con-
sui Gummere toMazargan. The state de-
partment Immediately sent cablegram
to Consul General Gummere directing
MIN to board the New York at once and
go forward on his special mission. Some
thing is leet to Mr.. Gummere's discre-
tion as to the execution of the details,
and it is for him to say whether he will
be satisfied If the sultan and court met
him half way at Mazargan or whether
he will proceed according the original
programme directly to Morocco City.
1t probably will make no difference in
principle provided the necessary expla-
nations are afforded for the treatment
our consul has received, and provision
be made for settling the claims. These
are not very large in the aggregate,
probably 100000 will cover them all, or
less than half an Indemnity that was
collected by Germany a
snort time ago on precisely similar
class of claims. But it can be stated
that If the court does not appear at
Mazargan by the third week in April,
then Consul General Gummere will go
to Morocco City.

Fcet--Weight Saved AIoft.

Glasgow, March 26.-The spars and
rigging of the Shamrock IL. are now
being prepared for setting up. They
include several new ideas. One is the
abolition of the topmast and all top
mast filings. She will have a single
metal spar, the largest ever fitted to
any ship, measuring from step to truck
las feet. This saves the extra weight
caused by the necessary overlapping Of
the lower mast and topmast and The
weight of all the housing gear, and CIV
ing also, it is thought, a stronger and
better braced spar. The Shamrock H.
will be unable to house her topmast in
the event Of racing in gale Of wind,
but this only happened once since the
Americas cup racing began. James
Ward, the manager partner of Messrs.
Denny, the builders of the cup chal-
lenger, informed representative Of the
Associated Press that he will certainly
have the Shamrock III. ready for the
date fixed for her launching, April 20.
He is much struck with the interest
shown by the workmen employed on her
construction and considers the yachts
hull to be the finest bit of shipbuilding
ever turned out from the yard.

| Bridgeport, March 26--The habeas
corpus proceedings brought by Attor-
ney n. Franklin Hall, Of Wallingford,
against his brothers, Peter and Sey-
mour Hall, and the management Of the
Westport Insane asylum, where Mr..
Hall has been under restraint for some
months past came to a hearing this af-
ternoon before Judge Shumway In the
superior court.
Mr.. Hall charges conspiracy on the
part of his brothers and Henry G. New
ton, New Haven attorney, and in pre-
senting his case to the court to-day he
attempted to personally conduct the cx
animation of the witnesses without the
assistance of his counsel, Mr.. Ford, OF
this city. The result was sensational
to such degree that Judge Shumway
at one time stopped the cross examina-
ton of a witness by Mr.. Hall, while at
another Mr.. Hall was obliged to leave
the witness stand during his own testi-
mony and required the attendance OF a
physician before he could continue.
The testimony this afternoon consist
ed in the petitioners story of his alleg
ed unjust confinement and the assigned
causes, together with the statements
of several persons who witnessed his ac-
tions prior to his committal at West
port. The hearing will be continued to-
morrow.
