Miss lane CrOetherS,

died at her home In this city on Fri
day, Feb. |, 1907, aged SO years, |
month. She was born in Redruth
Cornwall, Jan. /, 1924, and came to
America with her parents when IL
years of age. OF this family two sis
ters, Jane and Grace, were never able
to walk. Grace died about twenty-five
years ago; but Jane lived on unable
to move from her chair or her bed un-
less assisted. For many years she
lived with her brother James in power
ty, aided by the kind ministrations of
friends. At his death it was found
that he had boarded more than enough
to provide comfortably for his sister.
Since that time she has had no lack of
care. But the weary afflicted one de-
sired only eternal rest. Deprived of
attendance at public worship, devoted
friends assembled at her home and
held services which greatly comforted
her. A firm belief in God and the
things OF eternity sustained her. No
one visited her who did not go
out with more thankful heart and
greater patience. Truly she preached
a sermon to all who saw her, and her
friends can rejoice with her that her
wish to go home has at last been

Save One Hundred Dollars on
a Piano.


The 800 that it ordinarily takes to
sell piano by means of local can
vassers can be saved by getting your
piano direct from the worlds largest
music house, Lyon & Healy, Chicago.
Lyon & Healy often sell from 20 to
30 pianos direct in a single day And
the cost of handling this immense bus
mess is very little greater than that
Of smaller concern selling only a
few pianos a month, hence the great
advantage Of dealing with them.
The freight on a piano from Chica-
go to this city is only a few dollars,
and you run absolutely no risk in or
dering from Lyon & Healy, for if the
piano they send you is not satisfacto-
ry, they agree to pay freight both
ways.
Write to-day far a copy of "a Pia-
no Book" which is the most beautiful
piano catalogue ever printed. 1t off
ers choice of four different plans un.
der which you may secure an instru.
ment. A copy will be sent free by

IMMENSE ELECTRIC POWER
Work o. the Harvesting of Victoria
Falls Will Soon Commence.

The company which is proposing to
supply the mines in the Rand with
electric power from the Victoria Falls.
200 miles away. hopes TO have its sys-
tenn At work inside of two or three
years. The power developed by the
falls is almost inconceivable. The
width of the river at that point is 1900
yards. and the drop is more than 400
feet. At the bottom Of the falls the
river is. as It were. smut in by another
high ledge, and the whole of the enOr-
nous volume 70 water rushes through
a narrow zigzag gorge for several
miles. There is no such natural con-
centration OF water power anywhere
else in the world, and il is this power
which the company designs to tap. 1t
is interesting To note that the necessary
buildings and works are to be so con-
structed so as in no way to impair the
beauty of the most stupendous spec
tacle in the continent of Africa. The
powerhouse will be situated $50 feet
below the falls. and will be completely
out Of sight Here the electricity viii
be generated, and driven through ca
bles suspended on steel towers 1000
feet apart over 500 miles of practically
uninhabited country to the suburbs Of
johannesburg. The pressure Of the
current is still a matter To be decided,
but one OF no less than 100000 volts
is contemplated. To deal with fiuctu-
ations in the matter OF supply. and to
prevent the waste Of power the gem
Grafton of which is necessarily con-
tinuous. all spare power will be used
to pump water into q reservoir at the
top Of the hill, where it will constitute
a reserve supply of energy. BY allow
ing the water to run down again to the
bottom Of the hill an artificial water
fall will be constituted, which can be
utilized whenever necessary for the
regeneration Of power-New York
