Obituary..

Miss Lille E. Carder, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. L. M. Carder, died
at her home near Bethel Church,
May 9Th, 1903, aged % years. She
was buried at Lone Oak cemetery
May 7th, the funeral services be-
ing conducted by Rev. Q. Robinson
of the United Brethren Church, of
which she has been faithful men,
Der since she was 10 years of age.
Her sufferings were long and very
great, yet she chung to this life not
through any lack of faith, yet she
manifested perfect resignation to
her Heavenly Fathers will. Only
with sad hearts and sympathizing
tears do we bow submissively to
the divine will of Him who doeth
all things well. God in his wis.
dom and mercy has taken from
this home loving daughter and
sister. She leaves father, moth
er, two sisters and three brothers
to mourn their loss, also host of
friends to join in sympathy in their
hour of bereavement. May God
bless and comfort their sad hearts.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts to-day,
For the one we loved so dearly,
Has forever passed away.
Dearest loved one we have laid thee,
In the peaceful graves embrace.
But thy memory will be cherished,
Till we see thy heavenly face.
Yet again we hope to meet thee.
When the day of life has fled.
And in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Farewell Lille till we meet you,
Peaceful be thy silent rest.
Slumber sweetiy God knows best,
When to call the home to rest.
But years not distant cometh,
When we tread the vast unknown.
We shall meet our ransomed dear ones
Seated round the great white throne
A FRIEND.

Hint to large familed house
hunters: After having tried to
rent house in large city the
other day and being refused every
time because she had nine child
rem, woman fooled real estate
dealer neatly and procured years
lease of house she wished. She
sent her nine darlings to take a
walk through the cemetery and
when she was asked by the house
agent how many children she had
she replied, {" Nine, but they are
all in the cemetery now" That's
too bad" sympatheticaIly said tine
man. land you can have the house"
She is in it now with her nine
resurrected children and will stay
for a year at any rate. This story
may not be true, but it is good for
use when it can be used.

The unblushing venality and

There seems to be premium or
crime at the capityl city. Homes

Encouragement of county affairs
in Kanawha county, and the city

shame the rank and malodoroul

is much to be ashamed of anc
nothing to approve in the shameful
conditions which admittedly pre-
vail throughout the county and
city administrations of Kanawhl
and Charleston.
The conditions referred to are a
disgrace to the state, and a cause
of humiliation to every honest
citizen of the state -Parkersburp

hand. In iourneyings often, by
primitive methods, he has made
the circuit again and again, along
the weary miles of difficulty, to
minister to the lonely and forgot
ten.
In the cabins of the lowly, and
in the luxurious homes of the fla
vored, ever the same noble man,
his presence has been hailed as a
blessing, his delightful compan-
ionship has been sought and priced.
His inspiring courage has radiated
helpful influence, as he has
shouldered. in ready cheerfulness,
not only his own burdens, but the
trouble of others. Christians of
other names soon came to love him,
and their upgrudging oourtesies
have ever had cordial response.
Illustrations of the scope and
breadth of his activities might be
multiplied almost indefinitely. No
earthly record will ever tell of his
charities His tenderness and
thoughtfulness under all circum-
stances. have gone with the daunt-
less heroism of true soldier of the
GROSS, as he has looked solely to the
demands of exacting duty and to
the approval of his God. If under
"the care of all the Churches" he
has sometimes bent, the ove-stain
never quenched the spirit.
We congratulate the Diocese ON
this happy and blessed anniversary
and on the Bishops return to his
work in renewed health and
strength.
And to the Bishop we tender ou1
earnest and heartfelt God-speed
May the God of the fathers, who
has helped him hitherto, prosper
and bless him in the future, and
give him strength for many year
of continued wise counsel, faithful
oversight and diligent work for his
we'll beloved Diocese.

Vast Things our Curse.

member of the coal strike COM
mission, in q lecture on labor
problems in Peoria. Illinois, on
Friday made some statements that

he said: Laws are not made for
the great corporations. What q
gain for the entire world if all de.
hunanizsd men should get out
We have means enough, we can
do without capitalists who come
among US and live on the blood OF
human beings.
"The cause of labor, if rightly
understood, is the cause of human.
ity. What labor desires first oil
all is not charity. but justice.
"We Americans are using ur
too rapidly the resources of nature
and we are using ny too rapidly
human lives. One of the great.
est fallacies of the age is that
money is equivalent to human
lives.
"The spirit of commercialism il
sinking deeper and deeper into US
Whatever man sets his heart or
must increase or it ceases to salts.
fy him What we need in Amer.
lea is a realization of spiritual
ideas and the realization that the
best things in life are not pro.
cured by money.
Wages are never the full
equivalent for human work. There
is quality in all men which goes
far beyond the question of wages
Zone of the great curses of the
modern world is the vast conglom.

A grave question has arisen in
the Philadelphia High school
Miss Young, the teacher of physi.
cal culture, has ordered that nc
trains shall be allowed on the
gowns of the fair graduates. The
young ladies resent the curtail.
ment and threaten to accept the
alternative of receiving no diplo.
mas. One approaches this matter
with awe and trembling But the
teacher Is quite right. Her pu-
pills in physical culture seemed to
have acquired enough of it to
merit graduation. When friends
assemble to witness the proficien-
cy of graduates in any course, cIas-
steal or physical, they certainly
desire to be shown. A fine essay
denotes a good education along
one line. And there are exhibit.
tions that would prove physical
culture. The young ladies are
real stubborn.

What Dewey said and Did.

AN enterprlslng newspaper man
has made the astounding discovery
that Dewey never made the famous
expression ordering Gridley to fire
when he was ready, an expression
which has become one of the sta.
pie features of the war with Spain
But idols are being shattered every
day, and probably this one will
have to fall with the rest. 1t may
be noticed meanwhile that what
Dewey said at the battle of Manila
is of little account, for what he
did overshadows all the talk that
occurred there. 1t is what Dewey
did that changed the geography of
the United States, Spain and that
OF the Orient, put new influence
in the Far East, broadened the
policy of the American government
set the United States on a new
among the nations of the earth,
and in many other ways establish
ed new attitude for the Western
Republic toward the powers of the
old world.
Dewey NAV have said much or
little. Whichever way it was it
proved to be sufficient. What he
did made his place in history and
in the confidence of the people,
and that place cannot be shaken by
any discovery of what he said or
what he failed to say. Dewey did
not go to Manila to talk for pho
nograph, but to suppress the Span.
ish fleet and infiict upon Spain a
blow that would help to wind up
hostilities. 1t took him few hours
to open and close war between
two nations, for while there was q
little more fighting in Cuba after
Dewey said whatever he did say
on that memorable May morning
everybody realized that the events
in Manila bay settled the fate OF
Spain. No matter what Dewey
said, it was all right and enough.
