TkISUTE TO MISS FLOR
ENCE MATTOX.

Resolutions of Sympathy adopted
by the Memorial Committee OF The
NJ. Z. Sunday School at the death OF
Florence Mattox
Whereas God in His infinite wis
dom has deemed it best to remove
from our midst our beloved sister,
florence 'Mattox.
Be it Resolved: That we, the Meth
cdist Sunday School, extend to Mr..
Charles 'Mattox and family orr deep
est sympathy at this time great
grief and sadness which has come in
to their lives, in the sudden taking
from lifeA OF their beloved daughter
and sister. When the skies are cloud
ed over for some dear one that has
been taken from the household OF
one of our own, We feel the gracious
ness OF sympathy for each other, and
our hearts are tender for the grief
stricken father and loved ones This
Sunday School can but feebly express
he great sympathy We have for him
and say that we tender to him such
baim OF consolation as comes only
from Christ.
We realize that our dear Florence,
member OF the Saint Elmo class.
faded as a flower fingered as the
leaves, and before life's autumnal
winds dropped into the great eternity
from whence she came. Her eighteen
short years OF kfe closed as trustfull1
rs she had lived them Her devotion
% her father was symbolic OF the
deep affection of which her nature
was capable. To know her was TO
love her. During her short illness
her fortitude was remarkable, ever
feeling that even her comfort must be
forfeited rather thap request favor
from her loved ones. She appreciated
every thought and step given in ad-
ministration to her wants Her artis-
tic, retiring temperament found sol
ace and pleasure in her music,
through which medium, the listenes
knew she was voicing the depths of
her soul Her lips were opened last
Sunday morning to sing the first
verse OF Jesus, Savior, P.lo; Me.
Shortly before she became an angel
she said 10 one who loved her, !
thought | was an angel, was not that
strange? Jesus is everything, He is
the best friend OF all o father and
loved ones, may your faith be as hers
Judge her love by her life. For our
life is but love IN act Pure was hers;
and the dear God above, who knows
what His creatures have'need OF for
life, through much patient strife, lei
her soul TO peace. Because no star
ever rose and set, without influence
somewhere. the Saint Elmo girls feel
that the sweetness of Florence's lie
shall never leave their hearts. NO
life can be pure in its purpose and
strong in itss strife and all life not be
purer and stronger thereby. Born to
soothe, to solace. to help and to heal
the sick world that leaned upon her:
this was Florence.
Therefore. be il further Resolved:
That this resolution be placed upon
the minutes of this Sunday School
and that the secretary be instructed
to forward a copy to Mr.. Charles
Mattox.
By Mrs. Frank Southworth for ST
Elmo Glass and Memorial Committee
The above was adopted by the NJ
=. Sunday School Sunday.

is possible that the man was travel
ing eastward on the Nsckle Plate rail-
road, and left train on that road at
Hibbard. where he followed the Van
dalia railway north to Lapaz juno

What to Do With Him?
The question OF what to do with
the stranger, is perplexing the sheriff.
Perhaps an insanity inquest can be
appointed, and admittance secured for
the man to Longcliff Nc one has
been reported missing in this vicin
ity corresponding to the Swede's
description. Thursday Sheriff Vo-eis
received telephone call from Ed
Hass, sheriff OF Kosciusko county,
who thought the fugitive in the local

NO OFFICE FOR Mr.. FAIRBANKS
NAME USED IN RUMORS WITH
OUT HIS CONSENT.
Plans Lecture Course and Practice OF
Law After His Tour of
the World.

A report was recently in circulation
that former Vice President Fairbanks
was urged by his friends for, and might
be rendered, an appointment as ambas-
sador to London. Those who are in a po-
sition to know Mr.. Fairbanks plans and
purposes now declare without qualifica-
ton that his name has been used in this
connection without his consent. and, in
deed, directly contrary to his wishes;
that he has no thought of accepting such
an appointment if it were offered to him
In the first place. these friends of the
former Vice President state that he feels
that. not being wealthy, he is not in a
financial position to afford the luxury
of an official residence at such foreign
capital as London. Again. they know
duty inspired by an exigency such as
does not now exist, could induce him to
remain away from this country for four
years. 1t is his present plan, they state
to travel for a year with Mrs. Fairbanks
and then to return to the United States
and take an active interest in matters OF
concern al home.
1t is known to be Mr.. Fairbanks de-
sire to deliver course of lectures upon
the career of William Mckinley and
upon the peril of Capitalization. 1t is
also understood to be his plan to resume
the practice of law and to enter as fully
as possible upon the discharge of civic
duties.
An interesting statement is made by
those acquainted with the former Vice
Presidents program to the effect that In
the course of his travels in the orient he
will study trade conditions as they may
affect American commerce, and that when
he reaches the countries from which i'm
migrants are pouring into the United
States he will devote time to study OF
the immigration question.

AGREE ON THE CENSUS BILL
HOUSE PROVISION FOR NEW
BUILDING ADOPTED.
Senate Civil Service Amendment Re-
lating to District Appointments
Is Omitted From Report.

Before the conferees of the Senate and
House finally signed their report, late
yesterday afternoon on the census bill
they agreed to the House provision for
the purchase of site and the erection
Of new building for the census Office
This appropriates $4,000 for the site
of the present census building and an
adjoining site. between 1st and I'd and L
streets northwest and $25O,OOO for an ad-
ditional building.
The action of the conferees earlier in
the day was such as to indicate that
the Senate amendment giving the Secre-
tary of the Treasury discretion to spend
lump sum of $4,000 for both of these
purposes would be agreed upon.
The signed report leaves out the Sen
ate amendment requiring years resi-
dence in the state or territory in which an
applicant for a government position
claims residence. and also that the ex-
animation be taken in that state or ter
ritory. This was explained in full in The
Star yesterday.
AS agreed upon the bill allows the di-
rector of the census to appoint District
people who are on the eligible list of the
civil service commission to temporary
work without regard to the apportion-
ment provision of the civil service law.
