CsatH OF lewis FtSh.
One who had fought a good fght and
maintained the faith during q long and
singularly blameless life, finished his
course yesterday noon when the aged
Lewis Fish closed his eyes in the dream
less sleep Of death. The burden OF 81
years rested heavily upon him; day by
day the tide OF life had receded until at
last the immortal spirit burst the bonds
Of flesh and quilted the worn-out temple
of clay.
Mr.. Fish was born on Fish Hill, Feb.
rs, 1918. When he was IL years old he
went to live with his uncle, Thomas Lam
son, on the farm just below Southview
cemetery still known as the Lamson
farm, and there be grew up and attained
his majority. He then bought the farm
two and half miles south OF this viii
lage, now owned by II. II. Howard, and
for % years he titled its acres, living q
life Of thrift and industry and winning
repute as good farmer and a good man.
At this time it seemed best to exchange
the farm for a residence on Weston street
IN this village, which he made his home
until, in 1903, increasing feebleness
made him glad to enter the family Of his
daughter, Mrs. Judson Fits, and to have
AAN N1uAAAA VI ANI ucNotc0 Ghtt inc TCnt
of his days
At the age Of II, Mr.. Fish united with
the Christian church and, on the union Of
the Christian and C0ngI church four
years ago, he became a firm adherent Of
the resulting Bethany church. For over
so years he held the Office of deacon in
the Christian church and for 20 years
was superintendent OF its Sunday school
He was deacon Of Bethany church when
he died.
In 1888, be married Sarah wyatf,
who died March IL, 1873. -Four children
were born to them but only Mrs. Fits
survives. His second wife, whom be
married in 1874, WAS Mrs. Lucy Kim
baID Flint, whose death occurred April
20, 1905. Besides his daughter, Mr.. Fish
left q stepson, Herbert z. Flint OF
Springfield, Mass, and four step-grand-
children, the children of the late Bur
ton Flint.
Prayer will be offered at the Fits
home at 2 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon,
and the funeral service will be in
Bethany church at O'Clock. Rev. Fraser
Metzger will oficiate and will be assisted
by q former pastor of the deceased,
Rev. @. W. Morrow of Detroit, Mich,
wbo has been summoned from his sum
Iner cottage at Caspian lake, Greensboro.

Inconvenience and some expense to them

use of their cars to the Sanatorium Aid

reliable persons to drive the autos in
their steads. Excursion tickets will be
sold before the day appointed and the
proceeds will be devoted to the support OF
the free bed at the sanatorium for the
deserving poor and sick.
Autos will be in line at o'clock-in the
afternoon at the station in front Of the
residences of Willard Gay and A. e. Bass
on Main street, and piazzas and seats
bordering the driveway between the
houses will provide waiting places for the
tourists. As the almanac foretells a
moonlight night, the cars may run in the
evening as well as in the afternoon il the
size OF the crowd warrants such an exten-
sion Of the time limit.
Should the day selected prove rainy or
should the roads be Uneomfortably
muddy, the excursion will be postponed
! to tbs. next week day on which weather
and travelling are both fair.
The ladies Of the Sanatorium Aid
appreciate the cordial cooperation Of
/ the auto-owners whom they have APP
preached to request the loan OF them
selves and their machines, and would
be very glad Of any other cars that might
be available for this philanthropic
scheme.
Grants drug store will most generously
contribute the entire proceeds Of its ice
cream and soda sales that afternoon TO
the good cause, so eat, d-ink, ride and
be merry Sept. 3.

Beer and Boys.
Guy Bowen and Fred Greene, two
young fellows, were arrested Monday on
the charge Of stealing beer from the for
mer's uncle, Sam Bowen, with whom he
has been living in the Beanville neigh
borhood.
It seems that the Bowens, uncle and
nephew, drove to the village Saturday
night. The nephew, who knew that the
uncle had some beer at home, fell in with
Fred Greene, and the two Of them drove
back to Beanville to find the stun. They
found it, refreshed themselves and
brought two bottles back to the village.
Then they proceeded to interest Tom
spooner and Leslie Durkee and those
two drove down to the Bowen place and
carried on keg Of beer.
When the elder Bowen finally tore him
self from the distractions OF the Square
and went home, be missed something and
entered q complaint against his nephew
forthwith. Guy was arrested Monday
by Deputy Sheriff d. d. Howe and the
Greene boy was brought down from
Rochester Hollow for q hearing, at which
they were found guilty Of petit larceny.
They were sentenced to 30 days in Chel-
sea Jail and escorted there at once by
Chief of Police F. H. Ketehum.
The Spooner and Durkee boys became
invisible as soon as they suspicioned
4 trouble, and Tom Spooner managed to
elude the officers and started Monday
afternoon for Chicago, where be hopes,
through the help Of an uncle, James
Marren, to have a chance to study teleg-
raphy and secure q situation.

met by men and women with tranquil
ity If not with cheerfulness to the end
of a long life. Grief, lack Of employ
ment, i'll health, domestic trouble, these
are the usual causes that lead up to
suicide, and all Of these have been and
are consequently being met and over
come as the common vicissitudes OF
life before which only the coward
quails and voluntarily surrenders.
If there is any remedy for this lack
of courage-for the cowardice that
weakly drops a burden without regard
to where or upon whom 1t falls-no
such remedy has been discovered, and
it is probably not too much to say that
no such discovery will be made while

to stand up when the storms OF life

But He Got the Dime,

The next time Lionel, whose other
name doesn't matter, gets his optics on
an unattached dime he'll look the 9TH
er way. For Lionel is all peeved up
over an adventure he had the other
night-an adventure that had dime
for its foundation and for which he can
blame no one but Lionel. He rehears-
ed his money Grouble thus wise:
In Broadway car I saw 1.-THE
dime that was hoodooed. 1t lay upon
the floor of the car, unclaimed and
lonesome. No one else seemed to care
to take it in and give it welcome; so
/ did. But even as I reached for the
bit of silver the trouble drama opened
My suspenders snapped with the strain
for, as you can see, I'm not built on
the sunken-garden plans as regards
avoirdupois. Thereupon reached back
to gather the frayed ends Of the busted
surcingle, still feeling for the chunk Of
white metal with the other hand. My
watch, not to be showed out Of the
drama without a chance to do its lit

making a decided hit. The crystal
broke into 1859 pieces, not counting
the one that I got in my finger later.
The works mingled with the dirt and
shattered glass, and the case tripped
gayly into a corner. Just to show it
was also interested, a perfectly good
silver dollar bounced out Of my waist
coat pocket and did the vanishing act
where, l know not. A fountain pen,
all framed up with gold bands, fol-
lowed suit. BY this time I was Civ.
ing the rest Of the passengers the show
Of their lives-and nobody coming
across with anything but the giggle-
gag. And l couldn't vocalize my feel
ings because there were ladies present.
Holding on to my wrecked raiment and
carrying my assorted ruins as we'll as
1 might, 1 hurled myself off that car
at that next corner. Then I beat 1t
for a friendly soothing syrup shop and
totalled up the event. The wreck had
set me back $41-But had the dime!"

WORLDS GOLD SUPPLY.
Africa Bought $15,0oo,ooo Worth Of
Minina Machinery In a Year.

Africa Bought $15,000,00o Worth of
Mining Machinery In a Year.
F. A. Leach, former director of the
mint being asked by representative
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, what will
happen when the amount Of gold mon
ey coined is doubled, or perhaps quad
rupled, replied that he "did not look
for cataclysm, although the present
stock Of gold, amounting to $1,000, 0,000,-
900, of which $1,612,700,00O belongs to
the United States, may be multiplied
two or three times. Additional capi-
tai will be necessary for new COM
merce, new enterprises, the develop
ment of new countries and the growth
of trade already established. There
are economists who believe that the
stock Of money is inadequate; others
fear that If the present production of
gold is maintained the finances of the
world will be overturned. Chevalier,
the famous French political economist,
predicted in 1858 that the immense in
crease in gold from the mines Of CAL
ifornia and Australia would cause up
heavals and suffering; that the value
of property would wildly fluctuate and
that persons with fixed incomes would
be flung headlong, without rule or
measure, down to a lower station. The
prophecy of Chevalier converted Cob
den, the celebrated English economist,
to the doctrine Of disaster, and so i'm
pressed Holland that gold was de-
monetized by an act Of its national
legislature. Still, considerably more
gold was mined during the decade fol-
lowing Chevaliers warning than even
he had estimated, and with no unhap-
py results to mankind. Following ev-
cry important discovery Of gold are
great movements Of men and Of busi-
ness. Africa bought $15,000,000 worth
of mining machinery in a single year.
California, a remote wilderness, six or
seven months away from the east, with
deserts and mountains between, was
suddenly opened to the world by its
wonderful mines. Cities were built as
If by magic, great harbors were made
for the ships Of all nations, and rail-
ways were soon spanning the conti-
nent."

Weather and Suicide.

The theory that depressing weather
and the reflection of the bodily dis
comfort that it casts upon the mind is
especially conducive to suicide is not
borne out by the record Of the past
few days in Portland. Five persons
have taken their own lives in this city
and immediate vicinity within a week
in fact, within three days-justify-
ing the belief that the suicidal mania
is not a thermal malady.
The usual variety Of means to this
gruesome end were employed in these
cases, the revolver, hanging, acid and
falling in the way of moving train,
each claiming subject. The cause,
as far as it could be traced, Of these
self-murders was except in one case
where the suicide was suffering from
tuberculosis, nothing that might not
have been overcome by the exercise Of
ordinary fortitude. The vicissitudes
of life bore no harder in either Of the

MARRIAGE IN MOROCCO.
Negotiations BY the Parents-Fortune
TelIinu Made Easy.

Negotiations for the marriage Of,
say, Ali Mahmoud are now in prog
ress. The parents are arranging the
whole affair. Probably Ali will not
see his future bride until after the
ceremony. The wild, passionate stories
of the east do not occur In Morocco.
A Moor says that "a woman Is like
unto a shadow-run away from it and
it will always follow you; run after it
and you never catch it."
Ali Mahmouds indifference to the
personal appearance Of his intended
spouse is not shared by the young Ia
dy. Zadia is just fourteen years Of
age and, following the usual custom,
has recourse to magic to gain an idea
of the appearance Of her future lord
and master. The marabout, whose
services at this juncture are indispen-
sable, is now requisitioned. This saint
ly person finds it an easy matter to
practice on the ignorant and supersti-
tious females.
Without any difficulty he ascertains
the identity Of the bridegroom and
carefully studies his personal appear
ance. He then repairs to the residence
of the bride on the day appointed. A
Thursday is set apart for these sean-
ces. The prospective bride smears
the left side Of her face with khol and
rouge and prepares a huge plate Of
couscous with her left hand. Then
she pays successive visits throughout
the city to seven baths, seven mills
seven bakeries and to the banks Of
seven streams to invite the genii to
supper.
At midnight the females Of the
house assemble at the gate of the
house and in total darkness go through
the prescribed formula of welcome to
the ghostly visitants. The couscous
is already set out for the delectation
of the supernatural guest. When a
reasonable time has elapsed for the
supposed genii to finish their meal all
present ascend to the housetop.
bout, with great solemnity, throws
small pellets of various drugs upon
them on behalf of the girl for whom
the oracle is to be interrogated. BY
the various forms assumed by the
flames and smoke the marabout then
processes to describe the future hus-
band of the girl. The ceremony con-
cluded, he takes his departure with a
substantial reward and a further en-
hancement of his reputation as a ma
gician and holy man.
A few days later Zaida receives
present from her future father-ir-
law, and the contract of marriage is
definitely arranged.
A deputation of the bridegroom's
relations now come to fetch her. and
the procession is formed to lead her to
her new house.
Ali Mahmoud and Zaida eyed each
other curiously, for it is the first time
they have met. The long and tedious

Result of observation.-A little girl
from an East End slum was invited
with others, to a charity dinner given
at a great house in the West End of
London.
In the course of the meal the little
maiden startled her hostess and the
aristocratic company by solemnly pro-
pounding the query:
Does your husband drink?"
why, no. replied the astonished
mistress Of the house.
After a moments pause the minia-
ture querist proceeded with the equally
bewildering questions:
How much coal do you burn
What Is your husbands salary? Has
your husband any bad habits? Does
your son go to work?"
BY this time the presiding genius OF
the table felt called upon to ask her
humble guest what made her put such
strange questions.
