jim SMITH IN LONDON.
Sailed from Baltimore on the First Day
of March, and Landed In Liverpool
on the Fourteenth.

Jim Smith, a well known Nc
Connellsburg boy, is now a resi-
dent of King Edwards domain.
He left McConnellsburg on the
2sth of February, and sailed from
Baltimore on the Steamship
Quarnmore for a trip across the
Atlantic on the first day of March.
With the exception of a stop at
ST Charles just long enough to
take on a few passengers, and
one of about two hours at New
York, James had steady trip
across the big pond that lasted
about ten days.
Jim says their vessel was
caught In big storm, and when
the ugly dark waves began to
slop over the top of the hurricane
deck, he thought he was a goner,
sure. But the great sea boat
kept ploughing ahead leaving a
trail of foamlng water far in the
rear, seemingly unmindful of the
fact that anything unusual was
going on.
The ship was furnished in fine
style, aud 1t was just like Ii ing
in the parlor all day. The table
was great, and the boarding made
him fee. that he was eating big
dinner at a harvest home celebra-
tion three times day. What
was most provoking 10 Jim was,
that during most Of the trip his
appetite was poor. Notwith-
standing the fact that while
standing at the guard rail, he de
termined to give up coffee, give
up pies, CAKES, and meat-in fact,
gave up about everything he had
eaten for a month, hls appetite
was slow to take the hint for
more active service. His only
consolation consisted In noticing
that his fellow passengers were
dieting themselves, IN about the
same manner as himself.
James was greatly pleased with
the appearance of the city of Liv'
erpool. The horses, especially,
attracted his attention. Nice,
big, fat ones, they were, and you
could buy fine one tor forty dol
lars.
From Liverpool, James intend
ed to go to London, where he ex
poets to remain three years. Oh
course, he has a scheme Oh the
string that he is not telling al
about just now, but he proposes
that he will be heard from later

RECORD OF DEATHS.
Two Fulton County Veterans OF the Civil
War Have Answered Last Roll Call
Daring the Past Week.
J. W. JOHNSTON; WIN. MELD0wNEy.
JOHNSTON.

NIL u. UdAh6I JOhuSJOn was
one of Ayr townships most pub
lie spirited and enterprising citl-
zens. He was born in the town
ship, in what is known as the
"Corner," August 90, 1885. He
grew to manhood on the farm.
When the Civil War broke out,
like many other young men, he
felt 1T his duty to enter the army.
This he did October 9, 1862, en-
listing in the nth Pennsylvania
Volunteers, Co. f. In a short
time, if not at the organization,
he became the FIRST Sergeant Of
the company. The same year,
(Dec. 10,) he was commissioned
as I'd Lieutenant. A still further
honor was conferred upon HIM
the following spring, april II,
'63) when he was made 1st Lieu
tenant, in which capacity he serv-
ed until discharged, which was
March 90, 1865.
The w,r being over Mr.. Johns.
ton felt like having a home of his
own. He found al estimabie
companion IN the person of Miss
Jennie Morrow, of Allegheny
county, Pa, whom he married
the Doth of November the same
year, and at once settled down to
peaceful farm life in the Cove.
In 1869 he moved to the farm on
which he died, at the foot of the
mountain, a little below the "Hun-
ter road" This home was bless
ed with hve sons and seven
daughters, all of whom are living
and grown. Three of the sons,
Richard, Houston and Ralph, are
married, and three Of the daugh-
ters, Jessie Mrs. Alex Patterson,
McConnellshurg) Mary (Mrs. W.
M. Kendall, Webster Mills and
Blanche (Mrs. w. Kegg eris ,
Franklin county,, All tie child
rem were home for the funeral
excepting the oldest son, Rich
ard, who is in Colorado.
Mr.. Johnston was OF Scotch
Irish descent, and was man of
sterling integrity and general IN
telligence. He was deeply inter
ested IN all political, moral and
religious reform; was strong in
his likes and dislikes-a man oi
energy, industry, frugality and
benevolence; was very pronounc'
ed IN his temperance sentiments
and was a strict observer Of the
Sabbath, having been reared In
the Associate Pre- yterla I
church. He identified himseli
with that body by his own public
profession, presumably before
the war. Some little time after
his marriage he was made a rul
| ing elder, IL which capacity he
served until the day of his death.
He died "the death of the right
eous," and on the following Mon.
day, in the midst of large con
course of friends and neighbors,
his four sors, Houston, Ralph,
Charles and Norman, and two
sons.in-law, VIM. Kendall and
Alex Patterson, b'ire all that was
mortal of our friend and brother
to it's last earthly resting place tc
await the general resurrection.
Drs. West and Grove of Nc
Connellsburg, and DR.. j. G. Rose,
of Mercersourg, assisted the pas
tor IN the services.

pathy of the community.

Mr.. De Castro Glubo. coroner, held
an inquest at Ligkeard guildhall yes
terday on thirty-one gold coins, found
buried In Trebraze farm yard near the
town. The coroner stated that no sim
liar inquiry had been held in Cornwall
for at least one hundred years.
If the jury found that the coins were
treasure troVe, he said, they would be
claimed by the Duchy Of Cornwall,
who, no doubt, would deal generously
with the finder, as was the practice OF
fine crown. James Croker GeVett, son
Of the swner of the farm. described
how he found the coins while cleaning
the farm yard.
His mothers family, he said, had
owned the farm for years, and he pro

relating to the finding OF 1914 guineas

WORK FOR THE EDUCATED WOMAN.
BY Ambassador James Bryce.

There are two fields Of work
which the average educated citizen
of the male sex does not find time to
enter, but into which women have
more time to enter One is the cul-
tivation Of q thorough knowledge
and a fine taste in literature-the
habit Of reading that which Is not
ephemeral, the habit of study, the
acquisition OF a critical faculty
which discovers and enjoys what is
Of permanent literary value.
The other field includes the study
