Obituary.

Elizabeth Ridenour White, the
subject of this memoir, was born
in Hooking county, Ohio, June 10,
184l, and died in Lancaster, Ohio,
October 81, 1907, aged 66 years,
months and 8 days.
On November IA, 1858, she was
united in marriage with Robert
White, with whom she lived in
happy wedlock for almost 40
years.
To them ten children were born
six sons and four daughters, all
of whom lived to maturity.
The tender ties of this large
family circle were first broken
March IL, 1900, when the eldest
daughter, Mrs. Lydia Murphy,
was taken from them. Then again
on September Z, 1905, the Grim
Reaper entered the ranks of the
home and claimed as his victim
the second SOD, Levi, who also pre-
csded the mother to the spirit
roalm.
In early childhood she became
interested in the welfare tf her
soul, and sought and found Christ
in the pardon of sin.
After their marriage, che and
her husband became members of
the Antioch U. B. church at En-
terprise, o., holding continuous
connection with said church for
about fortY-three years.
AS long as they were in reach of
her church home, she was always
faithful in attendance at the SER
vices of the sanctuary unless him
dsred by sickness or otherwise.
But, owing to her declining
health, about four years ago they
decided to leave their country
home, and, consequently they
moved to Lancaster, hoping that
sister White might regain her
health. Since that time, however,
she has not enjoyed the privileges
Of her church as she did before,
although she never lost interest In
the church, nor did her faith in
God decline.
As the end came nearer and
nearer, she fully realized the com
ing of the messenger, and she fire.
quently gave express ons of her
to obey His call, and of
her willingness to go. Death, to
her, had lost its sting, and the
grave no victory gains.
She leaves in the family circle

ing her hands. All of sudden she
began laughing. 1t was an idiotic
laugh l looked at her and she stopped
laughing and appeared to cry and she
went away"
On crOSS-eXaminatiOn witness said
Mrs. Bradley appeared to him LATER to
be "locney" and that she had an idiOtfc
laugh.
Dr.. Charles G.. Hill. professor Of ner-
vous and mental diseases of the Bal
timore Medical College was next call
ed. The witness said he had heard the
hypothetical question read and assum-
ing that the statements made in it
were correct, he had concluded that the
person named in it was insane on the
night of Dec. s. He was influenced in
that opinion because the hypothetical
question describes very decided
hereditary tendency to insanity
Dr. Hill believed that Mrs. Bradley
shot Senator Brown Intentionally. but
in her alteration she believed that she
was doing right. DR.. Hill said Mrs
Bradley was suffering from toxic insan-
ity as early as December. 1905. and he
believed it was continued until she
shot Senator Brown.
When DR.. Hill concluded his testi-
mony, DR.. Britton d. Evans, an insan-
ity expert. testified that Mrs. Bradley
was insane at the time she shot Sena-
tor Brown and was not able to dis
tnguiSh between right and wrong
DR.. Evans said it was well recOg-

I despite the snow storm and the diver
sion III it's course, the aerial car made
the journey in quicker time than it
could have been made by ordinary rail-
roa / connections.
Not the least interesting feature of
the voyage was that the majority nf
those who sailed it today were having
their first experience ABOVE the clouds.
a crowd of nearly 5000 people gathered
during the morning 1T the Aero Club
grounds at Pittsfield to watch the in
flation and the ascension ami to bid
the passengers "Eon voyage"
BY arrangement the PittsfieId fire
alarm was sounded at the moment that
the great gas bag was cut away and
this signal brought many hundreds of
people to the housetops and other
points of vantage to see the airshD
clear the city and sail slowly of to the
northeast.

reported from North Concord, y. H,

from Canterbury about o'clock that
the party had landed safely in an open

San Francisco Engineer
Murders His Wife
And Then Buries the Body IN
QuickIime Under a Shed.
Singular Dream by Woman Friend
Causes Discovery Of Crime.

+ San Francisco, Nov 2G.--The police of
Oakland yesterday unearthed q most
diabolical crime and have taken into
custody M. A. Wilkins, a stationary
engineer. and will charge him with
the murder of his wife, whose body was
found buried in quicklime underneath
q shed in the yard of the Wilkins
home i'm Emnhurst. a suburb of Oakland.
# was known that Mrs. Wilkins had
given birth 10 child and Wilkins
stated that She had gone to :hc home
of her Parents in the East.
\ friend of the dead woman Mrs
]. NJ. Anderson of San Francisco, had
been staying at the Wilkins home dur
ing the past few days and now asserts
that Wilkins had endeavOred to induce
her to leave her husband and 80 away
with him. Her suspicious became
aroused, and Monday night, in n dream.
she saw the body of her former friend,
lying on the ground. with the arms
crossed over the breast. She returned

Speaker Cannon Prepar-
ing His Committee Lists.
Divides Time Between Congress-
men and His Dentist.
Hopes to Complete Assignments
Before Christmas Time,

Washington, Nov. 26.-Speaker Cam
non is dividing his time these days be-
tween his dentist and the members of
assignments. The afternoons are given
to the members, but while he listens
carefully to all of them. he has not SO
fare made any promises. The speaker
is hopeful Of completing his assign
merts before the Christmas holidays.
The 59th Congress had been in ses-
sion only seven days when the Speak
er's announcement was made. the time
being the briefest ever taken by g.
speaker filling the committees except
in the i3d Congress-, when only four
days were required. In the 5Sth Con-
gress, &c days were required, but that
Congress convened early in November,
leaving the Speaker less time for pre-
paration in advance of the meeting
than he had in 1905 and will have this
year.
Speaker Henderson took only eight
days to form the committees for the
57th Congress. The longest time taken
in recent years for this necessary pre-
liminary work was 131 days, which
Speaker Reed allowed to elapse before
naming the committees for the 55th
Congress, the delay being due to the
tariff fight of 1897.
In the 42d Congress, Speaker Blaine
consumed over nine months time after
the Congress convened in selecting his
committeeman, and there was almost
as much delay in the 40th. when the
fight against President Johnson was in
progress.
