he was Frustrated by a severe at
tack Of grip from which he never
fully recovered. During his last
illness of seven weeks of severe
suffering he was ever thoughtful
of those who cared for him. He
had words of cheer, and a pleas
ant smile for all who called on
him, and was patient and uncom-
planning through all the hours OF
pain and weakness. The funeral
services were held Friday after
noon, in the home in which he
was born nearly seventy-t1ine
years ago. Rev. Clark Duvall,
pastor of the Free Christian

A Newbury Boys Address,

The following is taken from
the Lexington, Mass Minute
man, of June 3D.:
With a few sincere words of well
come, the commander introduced Ed
win A. Bayley, Esq, of Lexington, as
the orator of the afternoon. MIR. Bay
ley's address made a marked impress
sion and many took occasion to person
ally express their high appreciation of
its many excellent qualities and the
noble spirit of brotherly love it advo-
Gated. He began by exto1ling Gen.
Grant and the Grand Army and ana
lying what the bronze button sign1-
ties. Gen. Logan's order creating
Memorial Day and the appropriateness
and sentiment of such an observance
were enlarged on and the Importance
of never allowing it to lapse in inter
est because of the enobling influence
on the community at large. Scenes of
the opening of the civil war were re-
viewed and the self-saCriticing spirit
that was displayed by the whole coun-
try. The recital of these great events
and battle scenes, closed with Grants
hammering campaign that finally kill
ed out the war. The forty years that
have interviewed since have brought
bounteous harvest of peace and pros
perity. Mr.. Bayley then proceeded to
forecast the ending of human war
fare brought about by the change in
thought regulating commercial, reli- |
gious and political affairs, which pro.
hibits warfare between the great civil |
lied nations of the world. Might no
longer makes right, but the only true
ir1j nj f.,iy
dealing with all which can best be Sc
cured by international arbitration.
The penalty for injustice and incom-
potency is loss of power and influence
and the Anglo-SaxOn race has risen to
its present high attainments because
it has been the champion for individu-
al rights. Mr.. Bayley was eloquent
in his reference to the peace confer
ences and all that they stand for. and
said that the victories of peace were
no less glorious than those of war and
were only menaced by such enemies as
1fvaTTy, greed and ambie-1l whose
harvest brings decay to national as
well as individual life. He outlined
Pres. Roosevelt's broad humanitarian
policy and said it was one of his great
elements of power-the purpose to
give every man a square deal Mr..
Bay1ey's presentation of righteousness
and justice abounded in the spirit of 7
the Christian doctrine and was one of
the most impressive features of his !
fine address, which taught the lesson /
of uniting all in peace and good will in =
a bond of perpetual brotherhood. A :
poem and quotations added eloquence :

THE ROSA D'ERINA
Famous Prima Donna Soprano Gives Song Re.
Cital Tomorrow Evening,

Nine. Rosa D'Erina's reputation is
world wide, and she is perhaps the most
remarkable musical marvel of the day.
Not only is she vocal star of great
brilliancy, but she is the only lady con.
cert organist in the country.
She was the professional organist of
the Catholic cathedral at Armagh, Ire
land, before she was twelve years of age,
and at fourteen was organist of the Car
malite church in Dublin. Her operatic
debut was made in Paris, and on going
to London she sprang into popularity,
and was honored by special command
to sing at Marlborough House before
the King and Queen, and it is not toe
much to say that she is Que OF the great
est vocalists who ever visited this sec.
ton.
In her recital tomorrow evening, at
Woodman hall, Market and G streets,
Nine. DErina will be assisted by Mr..
G. r. Vontom, the inimitable humorist,
raconteur and tenor. The entertainment
will be for the benefit of st. Joseph's
hospital. Admission so cents. Re.

closed down for some time, and natural i.
ly the available stock has been materi.

bia river and the British Columbia side
state that prices have advanced recently,
and it is believed that Sound loggers
will shortly follow suit. Word from
Portland states that No. yellow fir logs
have gone up and lower grades have also
been advanced. From $3.50 to 81 a
thousand the quotation has advanced to

PENDO MUST PAY.
Supreme Court Decides in Favor Of Mrs. Knapp.
Suicide no Bar.

The supreme court has affirmed the
Judgment Of the superior court of Cheha.
lis county in the case OF Jennie M. Knapp
respondent, vs. Order of Pendo, mutual
benefit association, appellant.
The action was brought to recover on
membership certificate issued to tn e
husband OF the respondent. The certif.
cate provided for funeral benefit OF
$75 and a monthly payment to the widow
OF 500 by the society.
For an affirmative defense the society
alleged that deceased had secured mem
bership in the association by falsely
signing a statement that he was not
addicted to the use Of alcoholic beverages,
and that the beneficiary could not re.
cover because of clause in the certifi-
cate OF membership providing that no
benefits should accrue if the subscriber
took his own life within one year after
the signing Of the certificate.
The respondent entered general de-
NAL to the affirmative defense and alleged
that Knapp took his own life while under
mental arrangement.
The judgment Of the lower court was
in favor of the respondent, and the su.
preme court finds no reversible error.

shall be composed OF the governor, sec.
retary of state, state auditor and two
| commissioners to be appointed by the
| governor, andFthe state tax commission

rations doing interstate or intercounty
business.
The com mission is directed to ascer-
tain the value of both tangible and in.

side and outside the state, and the com.
mission must take into consideration

state board of equalization, the COM
mission shall apportion to the various
counties their portion of taxes to be COL
lected from the businesses specifically
enumerated in the act. Where the
company has no tangible property in the
state worth the amount of taxes, it is
provided that the attorney general may
sue the company for the amount. The
salary of the two commissioners to be
appointed by the governor is fixed at
$4 600 per annum.
