Last Race OF the Series Sailed Yes
terday. Reliance Loses sham
rock In the Fog.

The last race of the series was
sailed yesterday and again the Re
lance showed that she and her crew
were far superior TO the British boat.
In the beat out she gained about
eleven minutes and in the run home
she increased her lead by nobody
knows how many minutes, for when
Reliance crossed the finish line the
Shamrock was far behind and lost in
the fog, and she never did cross the
finish line
In every race the American boat
has showed her superiority and the
sailing Of yesterdays race was a
mere matter of form.

IN MEM0RIAM.
SARAH F. GARDNER.

On Friday, August 28th, in the Cats
kills, there passed from the earthly
life into the heavenly, one of the
heroic women of the past half-century
"a beautiful charming. intellectual
and womanly woman, who has done a
great work in the Woman's Union
Missionary Society ia India for the
last twenty -four years. She was we'll
known in Morristown, where she has
been from time to time on visits to
personal friends, and where she has
delighted, as well as interested most
deeply, the members of the Norris
town Auxiliary of the Woman's Mis-
sionary, Society and also the children
of the large drop in the Bucket
Band of some years ago.
Miss Gardner has been home from
India for few months and was to re-
turn soon. She was in MOrristOwn in
May, staying with Mrs, Frederick G..
Burnham, president Of the branch
society here, and she then presented
her work in the cause OF the higher
education of the women OF India
most effectively, to the group of
Morristown ladies of the Auxiliary.
Her loss is deeply mourned. 1t seems
as il no one could step in to do the
work which she had originated and
carried to such successful results.
This work involved the wholesome
idea Of educating some Sof the women
of India to be leaders among the wo-
men of their race. There is now a
large number of native women who
have been graduated from her school
and who are actively engaged through
out the country.
Miss Gardner was strongly inflnen-
tial in the movement against infant
marriages in India, which effect sue
ceeded, after carrying the protest to
the English government, in having
the lawful marriage age raised to
twelve years. In fact, through her in
fiuence In many of the families with
which she was acquainted, the daugh-
ters we're not married until much
more than twelve years Of age.
EsB Miss Gardner was appointed by Dr..
. Hoyt, in his building Of the great
Memorial Hospital for the women Of
India, to superintend its erection, to
which fact is due much of it's success.
Many of the books and leaflets,
which deal with Christianity and
which are printed in the native
tongues, were the result of Miss
Gardner's efforts. These contribu-
tions to the intellectual as well as
religious cravings Of the educated peo-
pie OF India, especially the young col
lege graduates, are doing an enormous
amount Of good. Among Miss Gard
ner's transIations were Storker's Life
of Christ and Simpsons ssThe Fact
of Christ, which she had published
and sold throughout India at the
smallest possible price, This litera-
turet for which there Is So great a
demand, Miss Gardner was most anxi-
Gus to increase by larger funds for
printing. Also, for the preparation Of
teachers among native women funds
are greatly needed But, said
Miss Gardner, in May, with the radi-
ant smile which all remember, THE
Lord will do it il His own way,

FOUL MURDER COMMITTED
stolen Goods Received by One Who
shall be NameIess- Except Upon
the Police BIotter.

1t was in the dark of the moon last
Saturday night, when the rain pat
tered down softly and the darkness
was inky black, that Spencer Essex, Of
ebony hue, went, silently and cautious
ly to the henenry of Simeon Bullock, on
Mechanic street, and then and there
in the horrible stiffness of the night
did murder ten young and marketable
chickens.
One by one he took the birds from
the roost and wrung their tender necks
with his peccant hand. Down to the
home of one who by request shall be
un-named) the sinful Essex took his
victims, and there he did beside them
stay until the dawn.
When Bullock went out his chickens
to feed in the early Sunday morn, he
saw large and suspicious footsteps in
the mud about the coop. Investiga-
tion revealed the dastardly plot and
he at once began hunt for the villain
who had despoiled his coop With
gun and hound, so it is said, did he
trail the desperate and at four p. M,
of that day he appeared before Justice
Stilwell and demanded a search war
rant, which was cheerfully given him.
Within the portals Of the unnamed
ones home were found the handsome
birds three nicely cooking in the oven
and seven picked and packed on ice.
Essex and the unnamed one were
arrested and held for the grand jury.

the unnamed for receiving stolen

HOW would This Suit Youq

We Will suppose that you were not
in the army, hence you are not draw
ing a pension from the government.
How would you like to have one, any
way? Well, you can fix it easy. Say
you are now 40 years old. \ payment
of $67.S4 annually provides you pen
sion of 500 a year for 20 years. Pay
ments cease at your death and the
pension commences to your benefici-
AIRY at once. If you like, payment
ceases in 20 years and you begin to
draw the pension yourself. The full
20 payments are made whether you
or your beneficiary live that long. In
that case the pension is continued to
either of your estates. Thus, after
one payment your wife is protected
by an annual income for the next 90
years. at a monthly deposit of about
s.. Even if you made payment for
the full 20 years you get back some
500 more than you have deposited.
An annual payment of $169.60 would
make the pension $3.50 a year. There
are no taxes to pay and no invest
ments to bother with. All the liberal
benefits are granted for surrender in
case you have to quit for any reason.
This contract is issued only by the
Bankers Life Insurance company of

most complete policies ever sold. It's
worth looking into. f. +. Lamphere,
