In Memory of Mrs. Wyman.

Mesdville Evening Republican,
At the meeting Tuesday afternoon of
the Woman's Christian Temperance I'm
ion, memorial services we're held for the
late Mrs. Prudence Wyman, in connec-
ton with which the following tribute was
rendered:
We have come together to offer our
tribute OF deep heart. felt regret for the
departure of the loved and valued pres
ence of Mrs. Wyman, but also to assert
like dependency. We have no cause to
mourn over the ending of noble life.
The work she leaves behind is with us.
One lesson we should take away with us
selves definitely afresh to the work to
which she gave her life. We all believe
in the immortality of tho soul OF the one
we loved and know that she has reached
that other world whittier we are bound.
We thank God for her life and for being
permitted to enjoy fellowship with her
for so many years. She was defender
of all who were oppressed and the up
holder of every hope of reform. The re-
membrance of what she has been and
what she has done will ever be to us an
abiding comfort and encouragement.
Mrs. Wyman was at one time president
of the local w. G. y. u, and for many
years was county president of the same
organization. Our loving sympathy goes
out to the faithful daughter, who made
her last days so full of peace and joy, and
to all the other members of the family.
Her star, like the morning one, has melt
ed away into the brightness of heaven.

fact that the domestic boxmakers are

LETTER ADDRESSED IN FLAGS.
Signal Code Inscription Puzzled the
Postal Officials.

Philadelphia.--A letter addressed
with reproductions of international
code signal flags has been bothering
the postal officials in this city for sew
eral days, as no one could read what
the code meant. The name of the per-
son for whom 1t was intended, as well
as the entire address on the envelope,
was a series of printed flags of many
designs and colors, pasted on the en-
velope, which to the landlubber meant
little, but to any seaman the flags were
brimful of significance.
No one could tell what the flags
meant until 1t was sent up to the Office
of United States local inspectors of
vessels, who deciphered the code cas-
lily, each flag meaning a separate let
ter. The address was Miss Eva
Sable, 1860 East SEVENTEEN street,
Cleveland, o." The letter was then
hurried off, the cause of the delay be-
ing apparent, as the postmaster at
Cleveland is likely to discover.
