Eftie E Shull was horn Au-

this life Sept. IL, 1905, aged
IA years, l month and 10
days.
While Effie was only per-
mitted TO brighten the home
of her parents for a few brief
years, yet the sweetness of
her life and disposition were
such as to make her loss all
the harder to bear. Etfin was
a girl Ot more than ordinary
intelligence. She possessed n
thoughtfuiness I "a r beyond
her years. While shelOvpd, her
young associates and was ev
er tnnder and affectlOnate to
wards them, yet her mind
was so full OF noble thoughts
as to make her an interest

Never shall | forget her as
she delivered that wonderful
recitation, "Resignation" at
an entertainment at the close
of my school last year. Be-
fore she was seated tears
were strea ming down h e
che eks of more than one. Lit
tie did we then think that so
soon we should be called up
on to resign ourselves to
Gods will in removing her
from earth's sorrowsto Gods
paradise. 1t is one of he mys
teries OF Gods providence
why He should call away the
beautiful and talented before
the morning sun oflife should
kiss away the dews OF night.
But this consolation re-
mains: Heaven opened wide
its gates to receive her soul

and temptation had Obscur

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.

The latest suggestion for
helping along the hating
work on the Panama canal
Ia to issue bondsior the work.
This method Of raising mon
ey to tn, extent of$l30,0 900.
COO is authorized by the
Spooner act. in case the Pres
idpnt considers it advisable.
1t is thought that this plan
will be followed rather than
to ask Congress for IN o r e
money out OF the Treasury.
The ten million dollars first
appropriated by Spooner
act Is about exhausted and
something must he done at
once TO straighten out the
tangle IN canal affairs, There
is no question thatthe bonds
would sell and the bond issue
plan would practically make
the canal build itself a n d
would stop the drain on tine
treasury which otherwise will
involve the expenditure OF n
vast a mount of the nations
money.
While actual work on the
canal has been tagging woe
fully, there have been numer-
Gus complaints from ship
pers that il is almost impos,
sible to get freight across
I he lsthnus hecau use the Pan
anna Railway is tied up with
the transportation of canal
supplies. Secretary Taft WAS
asked about this and sa d
that it was intended to expe.
diAte the moving of freight
as runch as possible, but that
much of the fault lay wit h
he mship companies
which did not make good use
Of their opportunities. The
railway is of course the only
short route from the United
States to the west side OF
South America, but the stea-
mer service is bad and accOr-
ding to Secretary Taft t h e
west side steamer will fire.
qnently sail for down t h e
coast ports when hy waiting
a few hours they might east
~ make connection with the
steamers from New York and
save a delay OF eight or ten
days for passengers an Il
freight. When asked Whether
the government would ar
range the running Of t h Z
road so that bot ter connpr-
tiOns could be made, Spcrera
ry Taft replied that the srhed
ule matter was entirely with
the steamship companies and
that the railway wonld be us
ed primarily toexppdiate the
work of the raual. In effprt,
the freight and passenger
business would have to look
ont for itself. 1t was also sug
gesteh that enormous freigh
rates were charged across
the isthmus, amounting to
rs much as ssix centsa pound,
The Secretary was a s k d
what steps would be taken
to remedy this. He replied
that nothing was cOntemplh
ted at prpseut, that the rates
were a matter that had to be
balanced with the actual run
ming expenses OF the road
and it was impossible to say
Just now whether the exist
ing rates were too high.

PUNCH BOWL OF GRANITE.
Massive Present to Sea Captain Now a
Town Watering Trough.

The watering trough in Pickering
square at Bangor, Me-, was once punch
bowl. Years ago, when Capt. Charles
Sanford owned Il steamboat line between
Bangor and Boston, his friends decided
that they would make him an original
present ON an anniversary, and they or
dered punchbowl ) feet high and 10
feet in diameter, of rough granite, with
ont inscriptions.
The bowl was shipped from the quarry
to Bangor on Il schooner, ON board which
vessel the formal presentation took place.
Capt. Sanford was surprised, but he man
aged to make a speech and the bowl was
christened then and there-a ceremony
the like Of which has never been wit
messed on the PenOhscot river. Ii is said
that about four barrels of punch was
stirred up in the granite bowl and tine
entire water front population was lnvit-
ed to have something.
The bowl was kept on board the craft
for a week or more until one day the
owner thought he would put it on the
wharf, and with all sorts of tackle the
task was begun. At the critical moment
a rope parted and pmchbowl and tackle
and nearly the whole crew went into
the river at once The bowl stayed where
il sank for number of years.
Capt. Sanford finally decided that the
bowl must come up, and he offered it to
the city as a watering trough if the citi-
zens cared enough about it to move it
from where it lay. They did. and il was
put where it stands now to delight the
hearts of dust-coyered horses down in
the square. 1t is n strong. well-behaved
trough and looks as if it might wear for
centuries to come,
