OU IoUcI 5 CuuICu Ouly dCOuU 1Oul months, Father Smith has made many friends there. He is a genial man who has always been popular wherever he has been located. He is a native of New Haven, but was formerly and for six years curate at St Roses church, in Newtown.ICatholi Transcript.
 In a letter recently received from Mrs W. s. Davis formerly Miss Dorette Telgmann) of MOwry, AriZ., she tells of the narrow escape from death of herself and MT Davis by being caught in a cloud-burst, while trying to reach her sister, Mrs R. L. Bentson. In de- scribing their experience Mrs Davis says: "Unless you live here you can little imagine how dreadful it was. Our escape from death was miraculous. Cannot begin to write the horror of the situation. Our horses saved us twice, once by stopping at a washout four feet deep, when Wilbur took the lantern to ascertain the trouble and found better road. All was black darkness. l was obliged to drive while Wilbur walked ahead with the lan- tern. Suddenly a whirlwind took the light: the, darkness binding the horses, they began to rear and plunge. The noise seemed like Niagara Falls, that terrible lightning and heavy crashes of thunder, with wind and rain, which seemed like barrels of ice-cold water mixed with hailstones as large as mar bles. l could scarcely breathe. Where my strength came from 1 cannot tell, for in that awful darkness, could see nothing, but held tightly the reins, feeling the plunging horses, and with the roaring noise could not hear Will bur calling to me to loosen the reinS. Neither could he hear me calling to him. Thinking he might perhaps be under the horses, managed to tie the reins to the carriage top, crawled over to the horses heads, where we stood talking to the poor frightened animals and praying that the storm might cease for only five minutes, so we might find our way back to house we had left only 15 minutes before. After 30 minutes one star appeared, the lightning softened enough to guide us We discovered we were about to enter
 the Canyon, which had now four feet
 of rushing water Had we been 1C
 minutes earlier, we would have bee1
 crossing this rough and rocky road | then nothing could have saved us.
 Finally 1 held the horses, while Will
 bur unhitched, by lightning flashes
 and pushed the carriage off the road
 fearing for other unfOrtunateS who
 might happen along. We wandered
 around in the storm and by persistent
 calling aroused the dog at the nearest 1 house, where we were we'll cared fol

appointments made by the govern
ment on a safe, just and equitable
basis. Whenever there is vacancy
in any departmental position either
by death, resignation or expiration
of term of service, the head of the
department in which the vacancy
occurs, should always have the
right to reappoint the incumbent if
he desired so to do, but he should
not be compelled SO to do. If a
change is made the appointment
should go to the congressional
district drawing the least amount
in salaries at the time the appoint
ment is made. After the appointee
has been selected he should be
examined by competent examiners
along the line of duties he is ex-
pected to perform and if found
competent he should be given a
trial. After trial, if he makes good,
he should be commissioned for a
fixed term, thus the Offices which
belong to all the people would be
distributed among the people with
some degree of equity which is not
now the case.

Passes Away.

Died at the home Of her sister,
Mrs. D. G. Van Camp, on Sunday,
June 4th, Miss Clara E. Truax, aged
siXty-two years.
Miss Truax came from Huntington,
Indiana, six years ago to make her
home with her sisters. She has been
an invalid for fourteen years and
somewhat lame. She was possessed
of an unusually sweet and gentle
disposition, and was welcome in the
home of any of her relatives who were
all very fond of her. Miss Truax re-
nounced the offer of home of her
own in her youthful days, that she
might give to her aged father and
mother the care they so much needed,
finding her reward in the conscious
ness of duty willingly accepted and
performed. Her last illness was of
short duration, she was confined to
her bed but a day and was able to take
her meals to the very last, eating a
nice little breakfast but an hour be-
fore the silent messenger summoned
her but her friends have realized for
year that she was failing. She
spent the winter with her sister, Mrs.
Mossman, at Birch Lake and had but
recently come to the city for brief
visit with Mrs. Van Camp. The news
of her death was great shock to her
relatives and friends.
The funeral services were held at
the home of D. G. VanCamp on Tues.
day, June 9th, Rev. Adams officiat.
ing, and she was laid to rest in Oak.
land cemetery by the side of her
sister, Mrs. Eli Blount, who deid a
few years ago.

VanCamp and other relatives we offer
sympathy.
