For several weeks past it was known
that all hope of his recovery had gone.
No one realized the fact better than
himself, and he made all arrangements
TO meet the end with courage and
fortitude.
About year ago his health began
failing but he still kept at his busi-
ness, that of travelling salesman for
Gutter ~ Crossett, of Chicago, until
few months ago when he was com
PEELED to give up work. His visit four
weeks ago To the hospitals in Roches-
ter, Mimi, and Chicago offered no
relief, and he returned last week Tues
day evening TO the old home TO pass
the few remaining days of his life
among his friends and loved ones.
The deceased was born in Otisco
forty-two years ago near Kiddville, on
the farm of his father who settled
there about sixty years ago. Later
they moved to the Orleans farm. He

LET EVERYBODY REJOICE
Vaudettes Will Open Saturday-Ev-
cry Church Will Hold Services
Sunday Morning and Evening.

The smallpox scare which has been
a source of great annoyance to our
citizens in general and TO the Board
of Health and the city health officer
tions are extremely favorable, so much
SO that at meeting of the Board of
health held last night together with
city health officer DR.. Stanton, after
careful consideration it was decided
To lift the quarantine. The Vaudettes
will be allowed To open Saturday and
all the churches will begin services
again Sunday, which will be good
news TO the people who are friends
both of amusement and church-going.
This order, the Board says, will be
allowed to stand unless conditions
should become such as to make il
necessary again to put on the lid
The city health officer and officials
are TO be congratulated on the effec-
tive work they have done. Their duty
is plain, the law is explicit and the
state board of health requires them
to live up TO the law as it is laid down
in the statute books. Belding isn't
any worse Off nor SO much so as many
other places.

attended school here and graduated
with the Class of 'S6, together with
Lena Thompson, Alfred II. and Char
les p. Locke. He clerked for few
years in the clothing store OF j. Nj.
Earle, and later the business was pur-
chased by him and his brother Louis
L., and operated under the name oi
Holmes Bros, Cloth ers.
After continuing in business for a
few years he sold his interest and took
a position as travelling salesman which
he still held at his death, being a
popular and successful salesman and
very much respected by his employers
and the travelling fraternity.
He was member of the Masonic,
Modern Woodmen and Knights of Py-
thias orders of the city, and had very
many friends among his wide circle
of acquaintances.
He leaves his father Fred w. Hol-
mes, his brother Charles and sister
Carrie, the latter having carefully
looked after him and stood faithfully
by him during the trying ordeal OF
his last days. He said TO her shortly
before he passed away, "Carrie, | have
made good fight, but | have got To
die" He was prepared To go.
The funeral was one of the largest
ever held in Orleans, over seventy
carriages being in the procession which
followed the remains from the home
TO the cemetery. Rev. j. w. Sheehan,
of Hastings, ot1iciated, assisted by
Rev. G.. w. Maxwell. Mrs. James r.

The news of his serious illness result
ing in his death SO quickly from the
activities of successful business life
and the seeming bright prospects of a
well rounded 'four score years and
ten" yet before him, was distinct shock
TO his relatives and very many friends
and the cause of much deep and sim
cere sorrow over his untimely removal.
Mr.. Ellis came here less than four
weeks ago TO attend the annual busi-
ness meeting of Belding Bros. d Co.,
with whom he has been associated for
more than thirty years and took an
active part in their deliberations and
business interviews, remaining a few
days after its close TO look over the old
homestead and farm, which has always
been source of pride and much pleas
ure to him, having been his birth place,
the home of his youth, and in later
years the old home where he could pay
a visit to his parents, the late honored
and respected Lewis and Louisa Ellis.
He was confined to his room about
three weeks, but the most careful nurs-
ing and the best medical attention could
not stay the cold hand of death
The deceased was born Sept. 26, 1851,
in log house on the old homestead in
this city, where his parents settled in
1912. He was the last of seven broth
ers, six having died before he was born,
sister, Mary, being born after him.
After attending school in Chicago for
time, he entered the employ of Beld-
ing Bros. d Co. at the age of u years
and has continued with them ever since,
becoming one of their most trusted and
competent officials. Hisjudgment and
business sagacity was much sought af-
ter and he was consulted by his superb
ors on many intricate business prob
lens.
He has resided in Philadelphia over
thirty years, has had charge of the
branch house there, and his death will
be severe loss TO the company.
On June 2S, 1877, he was married i'm
Chicago to Miss Sophia Sheridan,
adopted daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hi
ram III. Belding, who survives him, no
children being born to them.
At the death of his father he acquired
the old homestead and has added TO il
by purchase the &. Dimick Ellis farm
and other adjoining property, until il
covers about 800 acres of land, which
together with the Improvements, rep
resents an outlay of about $4,000.
Mr.. Ellis was always ready To extend
the hand of charity and the gifts from
his hand and the advice and counsel
from his heart and soul came i'm quiet
gentle, sincere and unostentatious way
The funeral was held from the old
home on Sunday afternoon and was
largely attended by relatives, friend,
and business associates, coming | no
distance TO pay their last respects 1,
one whom all loved. The large anC
expensive collection of floral offering,
covering the casket and filling the room
with their fragrance, was silent an,
beautiful testimonial To his memor,
from his business associates i'm differen
parts of the country. Rev. j. Franl

O. &. Howe, Inspector for State Dairy
and Food Dept. Dropped In
Osmond &. Howe, an inspector from
the state dairy and food department at
Lansing dropped quietly into the city
Yesterday, unbeknown TO anyone, and
made thorough investigation OF the
milk, meat and food of all kinds which
is being sold and handled by our dealers,
and also took occasion TO make several
purchases for samples, which he took
home with him for analysis. If he
finds any not up to The required stand
ard, or any authorizations, he will return
and prosecutions will be begun at once
against the parties who are selling such
food.
The state officials are after violators
of the law and if watered milk or un-
wholesome meat, either of fish, fowl or
cattle, or sick eggs are being palmed OIL
on an unsuspecting public, the guilty
party is liable to be dealt harshly with.

Earn1arks of Character.

m ID IT ever occur to you that a great H deal can be told about a man by the O way he wears his hat and the man. ner In which he carries his walking stick? It is an interesting experiment to notice the passersby or the passengers on a street car of a morning on the way down to the office. Or, better still, try the ex- pertinent on a friend q good bit of whose personality Is known to you naturally.
 It doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes to see that the man who wears his hat damned down tightly over bis eyes and placed squarely on his head is a deter mined. hardworking individual. who car ries his cane conventionally. with a firm clasp upon 1t, and occasionally touching it to the ground firmly as be walks.
 Notice the sport, or the man who has sporting tendencies. His hat is on side ways and shis cane swings jauntily, debonsiriy. sHe frequently feels to see if his hat Is on at just the right angle. His stick Is clasped in the middle and twirls and twists ever and anon. If he be a professional sport or gambler, these enrmsrks of his character are extremely pronounced.
 Can there possibly be anything more Indicative of dignity than the way In which the average old man who has al most lived sis allotted tbreescore and

E WENT to the theater the other night with two friends of mine" said Mir. A. Good Fellow, in that tone of voice
 which usually presages something of 1eep mystery, "and I learned few things about the tyranny of women. Both of 'em were married-one about 90 years and the other about three weeks. In fact, they happened to be father-in-law and son-in- law. It had evidently been some little time since either of them had, been out in the evening without their wives. After the show we adjourned, unanimously, to a res taurant for bite to cat.
 Both of 'em were mighty good company after we once got started on the supper Along toward the middle of it the elder benedict called our waiter to him, and af- ter consulting the menu, whispered an order aside. A little later, after l had come back at them with my prize story, the younger chap also called the waiter and held confab with him over the menu. The father-in-law was busy ex- plaining to me the marvellous qualities of his new auto and he scarcely noticed his son-in-law's spiel to the garcon.
 Just after the bar closed, we arose to leave. l had asked them both to the the ater with me and naturally felt obligated to pay for the supper. But the father-in- law beat me to it in a decisive fashion, though the young chap tried to settle for the damage. l got up and put on my Jugs.

There is always a certain rak- ishness about his headgear-a curve of the brim or the angle at which 1t is worn. Frequently he carries his stick by the reverse end. not touching the handle to the ground, but threatening to do so every now and then. More frequently 1t Is grasped in the middle, with the handle pointing downward and the ferule end snugly held against his elbow as he swings along with a wide sweep of his arm.
 But the most marked thing about the carrying of canes Is the fact that the man who Is accustomed to carry one looks at home with 1t, while the one who Is just beginning Is as awkward as a village clout would be with a United States Army swagger stick.

To possess them, to know what to do and when to do it at all times is, in- deed, stock in trade No one can take such knowledge from the one who has 1t. Though its existence is rarely noticed, verbally, because 1t Is taken for granted that 1t does exist, its absence is like great, big, ugly fact that stares one in the face and from which one can't get away. Aside from the real pleasure that a gentleman finds in good form the ob- servance of the niceties of life Is a busi- ness asset-especially in these days when impressions count for so much in deter mining a mans success or failure.
 There are many little courtesies that some men observe without giving a thought to them-observe because envi- ronment and training have made them second mature.

"Vanda Enos and Her Girls.

An unusual attraction Is booked to
appear at the Loveday Opera House.
next Monday night, Aug. 30th, when
Wanda Enos and her Girls will make
their first appearance in this city.
The attraction Is UNUSUAL because it
is refined and entertaining at the
same time, because 1t combines all
the merits OF a musical comedy at
traction without containing one
single thing which could possibly
offend the most fastidous theatre
goer
Miss Enos herself is the most won
derful vioinist ia the world. This
broad statement Is made by her man
agcr, Fred G. Conrad, but not until he
had personally investigated her
claims To the title and had secured
the opinions OF the great musical au
thorities of this and other countries.
1T Is all we'll enough TO talk about
the masters he said recently, Ito
honor them Is right and pleasure.
However in our admiration for those
who have lived In The past we must
not be prejudiced against the great
violin players of the present, and l
find that musicians everywhere agree
with me in this class fication Of Miss
Enos."
1t is not often that such an attrac-
tion comes TO this city and it is only
natural that interest should be at a
high pitch. This Company has been
secured on guarantee and there
never has been an entertainment
given in the opera house which has
been looked forward to with so much
pleasure.
Miss Enos is supported by IN excel
lent company and the newspapers of
neighboring cities are enthusiastic in
praise of the entertainment. All
writer's agree that it is "unusual" and
"meritorious" and theatre managers
are already trying to arrange return
dates.
