OBITUARY.

August "a, 1907, at o'clock, the
Angel of Death came into the home
of Mr.. andNMrs. George Riddle and
took from them their darling little
one. After six weeks of painful
suffering little Ardeth was taken
away. Jesus took him, unto him
self where there is no suffering or
pain to endure. Arduth lived with
papa and mamma 1 year, months
and 90 days. Why he was taken
from them so soon in life pap and
mamma may not know or under
stand. Your hearts are broken,
your home is sad; the little chair
which Ardetb sat in is vacant.
These things bring a gloom of dark
ness to your hearts. There is only
one consolation left and it is this:
Ardeth is gone on; He is with Jesus
He's waiting, he's looking for You.
Some day you can go to him.
At 1880 p. m. the little casket
was taken from the home by four
little girls to the NJ E. church fol-
4oWed oy the n. OF r. Lodge, or
which Mr.. Riddle was member.
After the funeral services were con-
Quoted by the Rev. Cotton, the little
L. T. L., of which little Ardeth was
a member, of about S5 paid their
last respects to their little brother
by each of them laying bunch of
flowers upon the little white casket.
The parents wish to extend their
most sincere thanks to the friends
who so kindly assisted them in the
death of their little one.
A FRIEND.

Shenandoah Man Finds Lost Son.

Like fairy story, or the glowing
account of a poor boys luck In boy &
weekly, George Harris, Is years old. is
to be reunited with his wealthy father,
who be thought was dead and whom
he had not seen since babyhood, says
a Chicago telegram.
From supposed poor orphan boy
he has become the heir of George Har-
ris, a merchant, of Shenandoah, Va,
and will leave his home at Hobart,
Ind. to live with bis fa4her and gain a
college education.
The father and son were brought to-
gether through a newspaper want
sad" which appeared recently In a
Chicago newspaper. The Shenandoah
merchant advertised for news OF his
son, George Harris, and the Hobart
boy answered, struck with the similar
ity of names. In the correspondence
which followed, the father discovered
the boy was his son, for whom he bad
been searching for the past fourteen
years.
The boy, when baby, was placed
10 an asylum during the illness of the
father, and when Harris recovered he
found his child had been given into the
care of strangers. He advertised for
years, always hoping that some day he
would find the lost boy. Young Har.
ris has been living with Theodore Ross
in the Indiana town.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tprom our regular Torres pond en-, }

| Jul nOSuiaf coti
Washington, D. G, Oct. 12-The
question of oil burning in wassbips
has been studied by the Navy DEPART
ment for some years. They have
waite hed the progress that has been
made abroad in this line and after
seeing all that has been done and
watching good many experiments
taken up and abandoned, they have
gone into the business with a view to
meeting American conditions. One
reason that nothing definite has been
accomplished heretofore is that coal
has been much cheaper than oil on the
Atlantic coast. so there was not the
motive of ecopumy. But now that the
battlesbip squadron is going to the
Pacific where the cost problem is re-
versed, there is likelihood of more be-
ing done. The Monitor Wyoming
which is now at the Mare Island Yard
is being fitted for oil burning. The
work on her will be completed before
! the battleship squadron reaches the
Pacific, and she will be given sea trials
under service conditions. The new
20 900 ton battieships, the Delaware
and North Dakota. are being planned
to use oil as an auxiliary fuel. They
will be able to carry $50 tons of oil in
their double bottoms and this will be
equal to about 800 tons of added coal
capacity. This will give them alto
gether steamirg radius of about
1000 miles, meaning that they could
go rs DAYS at cruising speed without
recoaliDg. 1t is not likely that oil will
ever be used as the sole fuel for any
except perhaps some of the torpedo
boats and destroyers, but with the
coal, it helps out the consumption
greatly and in forced draft emergen
cY. it will crowd up the steam as coal
alone cannot possibly do.
In the same connection, it may be
said that the Navy Department has
looked with the greatest interest on
the performance of the Lusitania
which has just broken all TRANSACT
lantic records The Lusitania is a
turbine ship and the layman will nat
uraIly ask why, If the turbine produc
es such high speed in trans. Atlantic
liner, should is not be good thing for
the new warships also2 The Navy
Department has taken this seriously
into consideration IN planning the new
big hattleships. but the feature of the
turbine is that while it is good for
high speeds, it is wasteful and unsat.
isfactOry for low speeds. The most of
a warship's travelling is done at what
is termed "cruiser speed" and this Is
too slow for the economical use of the
turbine. SO in planning the new ships
the department has arranged to have
them fitted with ordinary reciprocal
ing engines and with auxiliary tur |
bines, so that in the pinch of battle |
when the highest speed is required, |
the turbines can be brought into play
and the monster ships can be speeded |
up to the extreme limit. They will be
the first ships in the world to be fitted
with both types of engines

THE TRUE REASON.

1t lie amusing to hear railway
officials beg to be let alone, to heal
them warn the public of tho danger OIL
Interfering with them, when everybody
knows that the reason they cannon
barrow any more money is because
they are mortgaged up to their chins,
their stocks are depressed by no divi-
dends, the eyes Of the investors are
opened TO conditions of their own
making. their management 80 often
discredited, and the whole weighed
and found wanting. R,tten to the
core is a general phrase, since all rail-
ways which have been Investigated
are rotten, and the Pennsylvania the
rottenest of them all. Harriman's lines
not excepted. Few would trust their
funds in such channels. Who does
not know that they themselves, and
not the people or the States have caus
cd the troubles about which they
lament
