A Tribute Is the Memory Of Mrs.
r, RI, Harris.

Yes, our dear friend has
fallen into the arms of the
gentle Jesus in whom she had
such a great, enduring, abiding
and too, such a simple faith.
A few days since, when those
around her thought she was so
near the end, as a picture and
impression passed across her
mind, she looked up with her
lustrous eyes illumined as by a
reflection from her Olsen
thralled spirit and whispered.
ever so lightly, "He's calling
me; he's calling me- They
thought she meant her dear
boy who stepped over the portal
from that same room almost
two years ago, since which tine
this gentle woman has never
been the Mrs. Harris as of old.
She could never become recon-
ciled to the loss of Earl. 1t
cast a cloud over her life that
time did not change.
She was one of those gentle
souls with a sweetly modulated
voice-ah, how much there is
to a woman's voice and a great
and abiding peace, who be-
lieved in the paradox of giving
up to accumulate, of letting go
of sunshine to bring it to her,
and of yielding to conquer.
The more love one bestows, the
more is returned. AS she
moved in and out among her
friends, hers was a beautiful
composite of gentleness, sweet
ness and withal a silent
eloquence which betokened
strength. In the Art Circle,
to which she was greatly at
tached, and in which she was
so much interested, she was a
mentor, but her retiring mod
esty which speaks so convinc-
ingly Of knowledge would never
permit her to be obtrusive in
promulgating her ideas.
In the church and the works
of the church, she implicitly
believed, but she was more
thoroughly impressed with the
prkings Of ones own con-

Fire at Dr. McGavren's Home


At 1880 Sunday evening a
still alarm came into the Fire
station from the home of DR.. G..
w. McGavren, on East Erie St.
The fire company responded in
an incredibly short time and
soon had the fire under control.
The fire was the result of the
explosion of a gasoline stove.
The burning gasoline was
thrown all over the kitchen and
in a few minutes the whole back
part of the house was on fire.
The flames spread very rapidly,
and it looked for a time that
the whole of the fine residence
would be destroyed. Mrs. Nc
Gavren had a miraculous escape
as she was standing near the
stove when it exploded. The
DR.. places his loss at about $3.50
covered by insurance.

DEATH

4 The white winged messenger
death, has again visited the
home of r. H. Harris, and his
Sbeloved wife has passed over to
join her dear ones who had gone
son before her. For months she
lhad been a terrible sufferer,
sbut in all her trials, not a word
3of complaint escaped her, but
Scalmly she awaited the sum-
,monsof her Master, and when it
Jeanne, she dropped to sleep to
awake in that far off land
1where she fondly expected to
meet father, mother, brother,
and sons, who had already pass
J ed beyond the vail. Death for
her had no terrors, as she had
lived a life of gentleness full of
Kindness to all; none so poor or
great, who came to her door
.who did not receive a kindly
welcome, and the only regret
Ishe seemed to experience was
leaving her dear ones here.
IShe died as she had lived, at
Speace with all the world, and
mot a heart in this city but feels
the loss of her noble life on So
,ciety, and the sympathy Of this
entire community goes out to
the bereaved family in this hour
Iof sorrow and gloom.
She was an humble member
of the Presbyterian church, a
true and faithful citizen Of the
kingdom, and died without a
doubt of a glorious resurrection
into the home of the righteous
in the family of God and His
Son.
Oh, it is sweet to die in the
Lord, with full confidence of an
eternal home with the holy an
gels in the Celestial Kingdom,
where sorrow can never come.

the ouashing OF a presentnent made by the grand

hected on the board although no opportunity was
given the Supervisors TO be heard by the grand
jury.
The Appellate Division denied the application.
