a Greater Loss.

Here is a laughable experience of
Lord Sheffield. He was once walking
down Piccadilly with friend. to
whom he explained that it would be
impossible for any one to pick his
pocket without his knowledge. Lord
Shefield's pocket handkerchief was
hanging out. and his friend. having di-
verted his attention. quietly distracted
it. Instantly Lord Sheffield collared Il
seedy looking man who was passing
and charged him with the theft. but,
the friend producing the handkerchief
and explaining the joke, the unfortu-
nate individual whom his lordship had
so unceremoniously seized was released
with many apologies. The man beat
hasty retreat. and shortly afterward
Lord Sheffield discovered that he had
lost his pocketbook.-London Express.

OBITUARY
Dr.. J, J. WRIGHT

When 3 good man passes away, the
whole world 10 poorer for bis going, yet
infinitely richer for his having lived, and
through the noble example be leaves

more shocked and grieyed than when the
news came OF the death Of DR.. ]. j.
Wright, of Warwick, Md, on Saturday
morning last, Retiring in seemingly per-
feet health Friday night, he was taken
suddenly i'll at 10 o'clock, with acute
pneumonia, and at A. NJ. Saturday
passed away, aged ~ years.
His funeral took place on Tuesday,
March 29th, ct PIP. NJ, at his late resi-.
dence in Warwick. It was q remarkable
funeral, worthy OF the man, all classes be.
which completely filed the house,
while many others were compelled to re-
main outside. The services were in charge
Of Rev. G. M. Cullum, pastor Of WarWick
M. P. Church, who was assisted by Rev.
DR.. F. H. Moore, fthe Middletown Pres
byterian Church, both of whom spoke
beautifully, feelingly and accurately OF biz
sterling character and worth as q man, Q
father, q physician and q friend. Two

Reynolds, Samuel Price, Howard A. Pool

laid TO rest in Forest Cemetery, Middle
town, where large concourse of friends
followed him to pay their last tribnte of
respect. Two children, Miss Blanche ",
and DR.. GaIen R., survive him and mourn
their irreparable loss.
No eulogy is necessary, for his life
speaks more than could be spoken by
pastor or friend, but it was Q pleasure to
tell him, while he lived, how much he
was loved and appreciated, and now, that
he had gone, it is still sad pleasure to
speak and write these few words of re.
spect TO his memory. To have known
him was to know the full meaning of that
magic word Friendship" His advice
was good and unselfsh; his affection
warm and sincere; his presence made for
cheerfulnsss and joy; his life being one of
usefulness and unselfsh devotion to his
family, friends and patients, especially to
the poor, who will miss him sadly. He
was kind and true and pure. To him
you could tell your deepest sorrows and
richest joys and be sure of sympathy
from q true heart. He was a man of
noble ideals, and of clear, well trained in.
tellect; q man of strong convictions but
with "charity towards all, and malice
towards none;" a man of much force, yet
possessing the tenderness and gentlenees
of woman. While this community has
