at Pomona; and the marriage took
place at high noon in the pleasant
home of the bride, in the presence of
the entire family Ga twin brother of
the bride eXcepted and a goodly
company of friends and invited
guests.
That the bride was pretty, goes
without saying, because 50 well
known by a large circle of appreci-
ative friends; also that she was taste
fully and handsomely gOwned in
white, with IA beautiful boquet of
white flowers. The presents We're

Piled with those lighter as we'll as
more substantial commodities which

somewhat extended tour among the
many places of interest afforded by
this glorious country, which will be
noted later on. On their return they
will make their residence at PomO-
ma, near the former home of the
bride, who will be warmly welcomed
back by friends old and new.
May Heavens choicest blessings
abide with hem.-Com.

Death Of a Noble Woman.

To her numerous friends and &C
quaintances in Palatka, news of the
death of Miss Title Smith at her
home in Jacksonville on the 18th
inst. comes rs n personal bereave-
ment. Miss Smith was u sister of
Mrs. Martin Griffin. She had been
in failing health for some time, and
when the end came Mrs. Griffin and
other member of her immediate fam
lily Were present
Funeral services took place from
the Church of the immaculate Coni
ception on Saturday. REQUIEM mass
was conducted by Rev. Father Ma
her -Four brothers of the deceased
acted as pail bearers: j. A. J. Smith
of Cincinnati; &. w. Smith of Fitz-
gerald, ILL.,; Jas. l.. and Jos. M
Smith Of Jacksonville. The inter
ment was in st. Mary's cemetery,
and the floral offerings were many
and beautiful.
The Jacksonville Metropolis pub
fishes the following obituary of Miss
Smith from the pen of friend in
Jacksonville who signs the initial,
NV. f. b."
AT an early hour on yesterday
morning, July 10, 1901, the redeemed
and chastened spirit of Miss Matilda
NJ. Smith left its earthly home, on
East DuVal street, and entered the
heavenly rest.
II t was the high gift of this lovely
woman to draw all hearts to her.
The secret spell was love and purity.
She loved all of Gods people, re-
CARELESS of denOminational lines, be-
cause they loved her Saviour; and
., she loved the people of the world, be-
cause Christ loves and pities them.
ITO such as she was this world
was necessarily a delightful abode.
| because she carried some of Heaven
in her heart. And so it was sweet to
live among 50 many that were made
happier and better by her presence.
But when God called her to lay aside
all that gave her joy on earth, with
out murmuring word she placed
her hand in the hand that was nail
ed to the cross and with Him fear
lessly walked down into the dark val
ley which was only the shadow of
death to her faith.
MANY here in Jacksonville feel
that, Earth is the richer that she
lived and Heaven that she died
And their loss will be shared by
friends and kindred in the old home,
Memphis, Tenn. TO that earlier
home her heart remained loyal and
true through all the years of serara-
ton. TO have been at any time a
'Memphian was enough to awaken
her interest and insure her kind re-
gard. And there, as here, hearts will
sadden and-eyes will weep for her.
Farewell, sweet spirit May we
all seek to share more of thy love to
Christ and to His redeemed ones ~

Pfeiffer and Alderman Stacey, made up
the Republican majority, Alderman
Smith, voting with the Republicans.
Their absence last might gave the Demo-
Gratis a majority at the meeting. Il the
Republicans had been able to forsee what
took place, it is safe bet that Alderman
Schultz would have been present. Alder
man Smith is on trip in the West.
The crisis of the meeting arose when
Alderman Donovan made motion that
the police committee be discharged from
further consideration in the matter, and
that the appointments of the Mayor for
three new patrolmen and roundsman<

bers present was all that is necessary
Alderman loft said that, while appoint
ments by the Board needed majority of
the entire Board, appointments By the
Mayor needed only a majority Of those
present
While the controversy was at It's ic'Eht,
Alderman loft moved to adjourn, and,
as motion to adjourn takes prccedsnce,
the meeting ended with a quantity Of new
business not taken up.
As II was, the meeting lasted less than
a half hour, being over before o'clock.
The matter now rests with City Attor-
ney Hommann.
The three appointees (s) are John
Whitworth, a former patrolman; John
S. Smith, and Andrew johnson. In ad-
dltion, Patrolman John E. Morris Is
raised to the new rank Of roundsman.
A rumor is current that the Democrats
had planned to confirm the policeappoint-
ments during Alderman Smiths absel1oe
aud that representative was sent to de-
tain Alderman Schultz, SO that he would
not reach the Council meeting last night.
