o. N@-~N 49,
excellent neighbor and citizen.
Mr.. Speck is another mem bel
of Captain Tom Sipes' company
ia, 15Sth Regiment Pa Infantry
to follow his old commander tc
the other world, and it has been
but few weeks since two other
mem bers of that company died
Baltzer Decker and Casper Mil.
Ter.
His regiment went out in 1862
and returned in 1868.
He was a member of King Post
No. 365 G. A. r. of this place, and
his comrades here desire to ex.
press their regret at not being
able to attend the funeral on ac-
count of not getting the word of
his death in time.
He was married many years
ago to Miss Hattie, daughter of
the late David Laidig, who died
some twenty years ago. The fol.
lowing childl en- survive, namely,
Benz, in Franklin county; John
E., in Pittsburg; Mrs. Fannie
Frommeyer, in Franklin county !;
David W., in Clearfield, Pa. and
Samuel and Dora in Taylor town
ship.
MRS. ID. c. SPITZER.
On last Wednesday there oc-
Cured at Sylvan, Pa, the death
of Mrs. D. G. Splitter, daughter
of James Gregory, deceased, a
former resident of Belfast town
ship.
Mrs. Splitter was almost fifty
two years old, and was buried at
Warfordsburg, on the following
Friday.
About a year ago while conva.
lescing from an attack of grip,
she discovered a malignant tumor
in her left breast, and with the
hope of longer life for herself and
service to those she loved, she
bravely entered Baltimore Hos
pital, and underwent a most
heroic surgical operation by
which the breast, and large Sec
ton of the neck and axilla were
removed.
Although the operation from a
medical standpoint was success.
full, soon after reaching home it
was very evident to her friends
that her life would only be one of
suffering and invalidism, which
condition she bore so patiently
that her manner at all times was
one of content to stay or willing
to 60"
Those of our readers who re.
member Mrs. Splitter in her girl.
hood will lovingly recall q pretty
rosy.che' ied, bright-eyed, young
girl, OF pleasing manner and of a
nature, buOyant and amiable-a
charming picture. To the writer,
Il later acquaintance, she will be
remem bered asa gracious hostess
and as one who "did what she
could" to make her house beauti.
full, neat and nest.like-to make
her home attractive and restful-
and whose highest aim was to
minister to the comfort of her
husband and sons, from whose
lives the sun of her great love has
gone uOWn.
Associated with the feeling of
loss and grief in the death of this
excellent woman, is the feeling of
gratitude that she is released
from all mortal pain and agony
and is numbered with those of
whom it is said "and God shall
wipe all tears from their eyes"
To the husband, two sons Roy
and James, and one sister, Mrs.
John Stevens, of Mechanicsburg,
we extend our warmest sym.
pathy,
S. NJ. G.

Trumpeter on Dewey's Yes
sci, the MayfiOwcr Writes
From Porto Rica.

SAN JUAN, .PORTo RIGA.
December "a, 1902,
We arrived here yesterday and
found it a fine place. am going
on liberty Christmas for As hours.
AS soon as we arrived here, we
took on 345 tons of coal and at
present the ship is quite dirty
from coaling.
The majority of the natives are
black. Admiral Dewey has been
invited to the Go 'ernor General s
palace for Christmas and to stay
? three days. At the wharf they
had four bands of music, four
companies of Porta Rica Soldiers,
squad of police, and about 400
school children and the thing
wound upin big parade-Dewey
and the Governor in the lead.
They showed US good time,
and the people are fine in every
respect. Dewey's sailors and
mariners are invited to dinner
Christmas in the town, which lies
fine, high and cool.
After the holidays are over we
go to Calebria for target prac-
tice, Calebria looks to be a fine
place, but there are too many mos
quitoes for me-they are large
enough to carry man away. You
must have a bonfire to sleep. The
country is hilly. The rainy sea-
son is here now-sunshine one
minute, and rain next.
Well, I tell you I would not
want to be in Pennsylvania now,
I would freeze after being in p. 1.
warm climte for three years.
We are going to divide into two
fleets for next maneuver-one
is to be U. S., the other the enemy
and going into sham battle, and
then the fun begins. Of course,
we could not stand to see the
enemy win. That will take about
week. They are going to try
to capture Calebria by surprise on
shore. They have sand forts and
batteries, and we are going to
capture them, if possible.
You can imagine the fun, after
the sham battle is over, we will
come home,
r. S. G..
CALEBRIA ISLAND, p. R.,
Dec. 90, 1902.
The day after Christmas we
went to place called Ponce, Por-
to Rico, l did not get liberty
there; but by the looks of the
place, it must have been fine. We
went there to get Admiral Dew
ey and his staff, who, with the
Governor, had gone ON an auto
mobile from San Juan to Ponce,
about ninety miles.
Dewey stated that it was a fine
country for scenery and fruit
growing, and also for the raising
OF tobacco. We only stayed at
Ponce about four hours. 1 had a
fine time Christmas. l was on a
forty eight hour pass at San Ju,
an. / had my photos taken on
board this ship (Mayhower).
On the 31st of January we will |
start on maneuvers again. Ad-
miral Dewey gave us orders sta
ting that we would go to Cuba in
January. The first place that we
will go to will be Havana, and 9th
er large towns. 1 will get to see
them all. l like this playful war
fare. 1t is lots of fun to have
sure battles, which we are going
to have from the 31st on.
Goodbye,
Russell GARLAND.

STICKS TO OLD CUSTOMS.
The supreme Court Of the United
States IL Welded to Its
Traditions.

The supreme court of the United
| States does business on an antiouated
plan. While it undoubtedly is the most
dignified body of men in this country.
If not in the world, it has its peculia ri
ties, and they are striking ones, says
the indianapolis Sentinel. One of the
traditions of the court prevents news
paper correspondents from attending
the sessions of the court in their pro-
fessional capacity. Provision is made
for representative of each of the
great press associations, but the CORE
spondeilis have to push and crowd in
behind the rear railing with the hun
dreds of other spectators. Usually
they have tie stand up, and if they are
seen taking notes an atte,,i; ut escorts
them to the door. The result is that
the 200 or more correspondents have to
depend on their memory for their re-
ports of proceedings in the supreme
courtroom.
There is another custom of the court
inch prevents correspondents from
see ing the opinions handed down until
they have secured authority from The
Judges who severally deliver them
from the bench. This authority is not
always given. the Judge exercising his
own discretion about it. Not infre-
luently the correspondent has to go
TO the home of the judge to get the
written authority. and perhaps by the
time he gets back to the capitol the of
nee OF the clerk of the court is closed.

BRAIN FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles.
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish particular
part of the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be, it's nutriment is
destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.
