store of Mr.. J. L. Mimnaugh, would
have been guilty Of such a crime?
It is the same old story. Marshall
was wayward boy, paying no heed
to the good teachings Of his Christian
parents; he had forgotten, no doubt
the prayers he had learned at his moth
er's knee. Yes, he had forgotten all;
he had been to Panama in the employ
of the government at big salary;
he became associated with all classes
of men, the kind that usually grasp
at such opportunities to see something
of the world and to get. away from
the watchful eye of father and
mother. Oh! how it must have af-
fected the hearts of his dear parents
when they recognized the lifeless
body of the high-wayman as that OF
their wandering boy! This should be
a warning to all young men, who
have an inclination to wander the
wide world over, and at the same
time remind them of the great truth,
ssthat whatsoever man soweth, that
shall he also reap"

The terrible tragedy enacted in the
suburbs of Columbia Saturday night
in which Charlie B. Greene met his
death, and the would-be robber, Ed
gar Marshall, was also killed, is one
of the most shocking that has ever
occurred in any section in the South.
That man cannot walk the streets
of city without being held up and
robbed is terrible thought. Yet 1t
has reached that place, and the crime
of Saturday night should cause the
city officials OF Columbia to use their
best efforts to throw safe guards
around the lives of the people who
reside within her borders. Saturday
night was not the first time that peo-
ple have been held up and relieved OF
their cash and other valuables in the
proud city of Columbia. Only few
DAYS ago negro was relieved of his
hard-earned cash, not far from where
Greene and Marshall had the fatal
combat. And it has not been so very
long since Judge Gary was relieved
of his watch at the point of pistol.
But who would have thought that
Edgar Marshall, the son of MIR. Peter
g. Marshall, the popular and beloved
manager of the large department

Courratulating Lever.

Washington, March 5.-Special:
Representative Lever is the recipient
of congratulations upon the skillful
manner in which he managed the Ap-
palachian-Whit Mountain fight in the
closing hours of Congress. Every one
agree that hui for his alertness and
skill in handli lg the situation the prop
osition would have been beaten, be-
luse as matter of fact the Over
street amendment was introduced at
the suggestion of the Republican lead
ers, and the entire Republican ma
Achinery in the House was in motion to
defeat the survey proposit on, put IN
the bill by Senator Simmons IN the
Senate. This victory is regarded as
the entering wedge to a final adop-
stion by Congress of the scheme Great
ing forest reserves in the Appalachian
and White Mountain ranges. Mr..
Levers work is all the more notable
b cause of his re cent criticism of the
S ,eaker for holding up the original
Or ,position. Thomas, Of North Caro-
lima; Little field, CT Maine, Caurier, Of
New Hampshire; Mccall, of Massachu-
setts; McNary, of Massachusetts, and
others entered into the debate and
materially aided in lne fight. Senator
Simmons, the father of -he proposition
n the Senate, and R representative
Lever, the father of it lA the House,
have each had conference with the
chief of the bureau of ~fores ry, at
which the plans for the survey were
fully discussed.

MISS BERNICE
 SCHLOSS DEAD.
The Funreal Took Place From the Residence This Morning Attended by Large Number of Rela-
 tiyes and Friends.

IDe Splflt or BernlCe SCulOSS, dSeu 16 years, has winged it's flight and all that was mortal of this young lady now reposes in Bellwood cem- etery. The end came at 1 o'clock Sum- day morning. It was not unexpected. For over three years this bright and interesting child had been an invalid. Her malady baffled the knowledge and skill of all earthly physicians and for sometime it has been apparent that only the Great Physician on High could end her suffering For the past three months she was confined to her bed. Loving relatives and friends kept constant vigil and her every want was carefully attended. but for three days 1t was apparent that death only was to be expected. Her father, Julius c. Schloss, was absent from the State, but was communicated with by wire and fortunately arrived in time to see his daughter alive and to so- 1 lace the bereaved mother when the final moment should arrive. And the end came peacefully. The Heavenly Father gathered a flower from this earth and transplanted it in His Heavenly Kingdom where there is no sorrow, no suffering, no death.
 o death, where is thy sting?
 o grave, where is thy victory?
 Verify has it been written that to the eye of Faith nothing is fairer than the death of pure young child.
 "A lovely bud so soft and fair,
 Called hence by early doom
 Just sent to show how sweet a
 flower
 h Paradise would bloom
 The deceased was the eldest daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. Julius c. Schloss and the granddaughter of Mrs. Hen rietta Solmson. She leaves besides the above mentioned two sisters, Miss es Ethel and Selma Schloss, and a large number of relatives.
 The funeral took place from the Solmson residence at No. 502 West Barraque street this (Monday) morn ing, there being 8 large attendance Of sorrowing relatives and friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rabbi Frisch and were very touching and impressive. The floarl offerings were numerous and beautiful, among tbe prettiest being floral design by the clerks at Dreyfus' store, where two of the deceased's uncles are em- ployed.
 The pall-bearers were companions and former school-mates as follows: Stanley Dreyfus, Alvin Strauss, Ben nie Veil, Paul Rutstein, Joe Gottlieb and Sol Klarberg.
 The remains were inferred in the Jewish part of Bellwood cemetery in the presence of large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.
