Death Merciless and Sudden.
NUMBER 26

Mrs Luther Hamblyn of this city
died on Saturday afternoon, June 26;
aged ~ years.
The death Of Mrs Hamblyn was
severe shock to her many friends and
acqusirtances, coming SO suddenly and
wiz, scarcely any warning. She was
in her usual health and was down town
on Friday morning. Friday night she
was taken with pains in the stomach.
The doctor was called but thought
nothing serious at the time was the
trouble. On Saturday afternoon about
2 o'clock she had another severe attack.
The doctor and Mrs. Hamblyn's sister
were called, but she passed away before
their arrival. The immediate cause Of
her death was heart failure. The flu
neral took place from st. Paul's Catho-
lie church at 10 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing and was very largely attended by
her many friends and relatives, showing
their respect and honor for her.
Mrs. l.. Hamlyn Family name Rose
Riley was born in Ireland on the 26th
Of March, 1861, and came to this coun-
try when a very young girl. She was
married to Mr.. Luther Hamblyn, in st.
Pauls Catholic church, by Rev. j.
O'Keefe. on oct. I'd. 1879. Since the
marriage, with the exception Of short
time, they have made the city Of Min
eral Point their home.
Mrs. Hamblyn leaves to mourn her
loss a husband two sons. Samuel and
Walter. and one sister, Mrs. John
Jelife. She was Of mild and happy
disposition, which made her many
friends and endeared her to them. Her
husband, family, sister and relatives
have IN their sad loss the sincere sym
patty of the community.

Mission Services at Tginity Church.

The Rev. John Henry Hopkins, mis-
sionary-secretary for the Fifth Depart
ment of general missions of the Episco-
pal Church, visited Trinity parish on
Friday of last week. His wife accom-
panied him.
At a p. m. Mrs. Hopkins addressed
the ladies of the Woman's Auxiliary in
the parish house, on the work which
the Woman's Auxiliary is doing in the
diocesan and domestic field of missions.
At 7.30 p. M, after Evening Prayer,
the Rev. Mr.. Hopkins preached on the
subject of general missions. To the
delight of all he made the subject in
teresting by his earnestness and elo-
quence. 1t is not necessary to give an
outline of his splendid discourse, but
it's only justice to say that it was out
of the ordinary line of such addresses.
In spite of the many attractions outside,
there was very good attendance both
at the parish house and at the church.
The Rev. Mr. Hopkins and wife were
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Ross,
and they left the next day for Milwau-
kee. In the near future they will visit
this parish again.

Anent Good Roads.

The Scientific American of Oct. 24th
has sensible and timely article upon
the maintenance of roads which il
worthy of general attention. "In the
present campaign of good roads educa-
tion," it says, more attention should
be paid to the vital function of road
maintenance. Our present system Of
building first class road and then let
ting it go to ruin as fast as wind, wealth
er and traffic can wreck it, il the height
OF folly and extravaganza" The ar
ticle contrasts this wasteful American
system with the careful repairing OF
European roads. The European system
is the keeping up of roads by constant
work. Repairs are in progress all the
time by skilled workmen. The solitary
road repairer, with his wheelbarrow,
pick and shovel, and a little pile Of
broken stone and topdressing, is q fa-
mliar sight on the roads in the progress
sive countries of Europe. Each section
of road is in charge of repairer, and
is inspected by him daily. On detecting
low spot, where water may collect, he
makes immediate repairs.
