General Joseph w. .Congdon Of New

said. ''of manufactured silk to this

The tendency of the Japanese is to hold

A route across the Atlantic which
would greatly shorten the ocean voy-
age is being discussed in England, says
Harper's Weekly. 1t is proposed to
utilize the harbor of Galway, situated
on the western coast Of Ireland, and
run a line of express steamers between
there and st. Johns, on the coast of
Newfoundland. a distance Of 1876
miles, while the rest Of the journey to
New York could be made for most OF
the way by fast trains. 1t is believed
that the trip from London to the Amer
lean metropolis could thus be shortened
by at least a day. From New York to
Southampton is almost twice as far as
from Galway to ST. John's-3,116 miles
while the distance from New York to
Liverpool is 3.O95 miles.

R%ockland, Me-, Aug. 10.-Four young
men of this city lost their lives Sat.

LAST WORDS OF LEO XIII.
~ Bless" Said the Pope as He sank
to Death,


DR.. Lapponi, SO long the pope's ply
sician, talked with the Rome CORE
spondent of the New York World the
other night on the last moments Of Leo.
He said that just before he died the
pope blessed the Italian people. saying:
II have always loved my country"
while the tears streamed down his face.
The doctor said that in all Of his pro-
fessional career he had never met with
a deathbed SCENE comparable with that
of the pope's. Leo's stoical resistance
against the agony of his last moments
was most edifying and impressive.
When he had given tt Cardinal
Oreglia his last instructions concerning
the conclave lie became unconscious.
His last words were:
II bless
He was unable to finish the sentence.
When the pope died his hand uncon.
sciously grasped 1T Pho Contra, his
body servant thus strangely confirm
ing in death the theory of the union
between power and labor as expressed
in numerous of his encyclicals.

COFFEE FREED OF HARM.
Dyspeptic Eevotees Advised to Take
1t Ia Form OF II Jelly.

Dyspeptics. to whom hot coffee after
dinner is a forbidden delight. are Of
fered a substitute in the form of cot
fee jelly. Coffee says the London
Lancet. serves an admirable purpose
in dietetics. and those with whom it
disagrens when taken in the form OF a
hot infusion will probably find a clear
jelly after dinner quite satisfactory.
Coffee. unlike alcohol. diminishes or
ganic waste and rouses muscular ener-
gy without the collapse which follows
alcoholic inhibition. and gelatin in
the form of a jelly is cooling, assuages
thirst, is soothing and has a tendency
to absorb any excessive acidity of the
stomach"

And her efforts went for naught.
So to seashore she soon went,
On love and also pleasure bent.

Ehe nice young men had met their fate.
Time passed on. and soon she found,
When in the city safe and sound,
That he whom she had sought so long +.
Was waiting for her in the throng.

Better by far than tongue can tell"

In MemOrIam.

In memory of Anna Dayton Hale,
who died in Atlanta, Ca, August
18th, 1903.
There was sadness brought to
many hearts and tears to many
eyes when over the wires came
the intelligence of the passing
away of Miss Anna Hale. 1t was
in our town that she was born
and bred and here it was that
she received the educational
training that so admirably fitted
her for her future career. Her
bright, receptive mind was ever
alert to seize upon and appropri-
ate information and knowledge
from every source. She loved
literature and reveled in books,
but not content with the mere
reading the thoughts of others,
she subjected them to close
analysis rejecting what seemed
to her speciOus and accepting
only what she considered rea-
sonable. Her own ideals were
lofty and she was ever am BIZ
tious of achieving the best re-
suits and of training herself to
the highest standard of work in
her noble vocation.
After being graduated in Co
lumbus she took a course of
study in the Peabody Normal at
Nashville, where she was gradu-
ated with distinction. Her first
year of work was in the Franklin
Academy. Subsequently, her
family having moved TO Atlanta,
Ga, she secured a position there.
Her marked ability met speedy
recognition and she was made
principal of one of the lead
ing schools of the city. Three
years ago she became associated
with Miss Julia Tutwiler in her
institution at Livingston, Ala.
Here again she gave her best eff
forts and her enthusiastic devo-
ton to her work resulted in a
break-dow in her general health
that made her an easy victim to
he fell dis ease that did it's work
so quickly
To Anna Hale life was beauti-
full, not for what she got out it
but for it's grand possibilities,
and not less beautiful to her was
the home this world the
Father has given His children.
She took keenest delight in the ,
beauties of nature and with pen /
Gil and brush pictured the
stretches of mountains, the |
lichen covered rocks and the
flowers. earth's jewels, that grew
along her pathway.
The example and precepts of a
sanity mother led her to align |
herself with Gods people and at |

an early age she united with the
FIRST Presbyterian church of Co
lumbus. To her active mind
questions came, those uusolved
problems of our existence, but
under them all was the firm
foundation and she could always
say, i believe that He is and
that He is a rewarder of them
who diligently seek Him. f"
To her childhood home her
body was borne and the loving
friends of former years brought
their tribute of flowers and tears
and laid her TO rest with her
kindred dead.
