\ MRS. ]. C. BRUCE.

May the 10Th, 1926, in Carolina coun-
ty, Virginia, the last of a family of
boys and girls appeared in the Miller
home. The parents named her Marion
Morson. Certainly God smiled on the
work Of his hands, for He saw there
body that would be able to carry we'll
the burdens of life for more than eighty
years; a mind capable of thinking wise
and noble thoughts,s and soul soon to be-
come the abode of his own Spirit and
yielding to his leadership. At seventeen
she gave her heart to God and consecrated
her life to His service Like Mary she
chose the better part that could not be
taken away from her.
On January 4th, 1874, Andrew Broadus
spoke the solemn words that made this
beautiful and cultured maiden the wife
of ]. c. Bruce. True love was the tie
that bound these true hearts and it grew
tenderer and stronger through all the years
Like Sarah of old, she was free in her
love for her husband and rightly jealous
of her husbands love for herself. AS a
mother she was like the devoted Hannah,
thankful to God for every gift of child
and showing her appreciation by raising
them in the nature and admonition of the
Lord.
She was born in May, the month of
flowers, and her life was a rosegarden
of beauty and blessedness. Her heart
was the nurse of good thoughts. Set in
the soil of love, watered with the dews
of Heaven, Strengthened by the sunlight
of righteousness and tended by the garden
er of Grace these put forth fair flowers.
Her lips blossomed with kindly words !;
her hands were garlanded with golden
deeds and the paths of her. feet were
trellised with unselfish service.
As a rose that has charmed the eye
with its beauty and flooded the air with
its fragrance, gently drops its petals on
the bosom of mother earth, SO this noble
woman after life of gracious service
gently fell asleep on her Masters bosom
on the morning of Feb. ?, 1910.
Seven children graced this home, of
whom FIVE have gone on before and two
ramain. These with noble and devoted
husband and an affectionate granddaught-
er form the inner circle of those who
await the summons to the happy reunion
ia tyr hArpy hrrne above.

San Francisco's creme de la creme

reckoned among our social elect, are
spending their last days of August at

entertainment that has taken place at
Del Monte this season was the dinner
Mr.. and Mrs. William G. Irwin gave
last evening in compliment to their
daughter, the beautiful Miss Helene,
and her fiance, Charles Templeton
Croker
It might we'll be called an orchid
dinner, for the table was surprising
ly beautiful, decorated as 1t was in
hundreds of these precious flowers,
which have long been looked upon as
the engagement blossom.
Every day large box of them for
weeks past has been bestowed upon
this attractive bride-to-be by her in
tended.
Miss Twins gown harmonized well
with the table decorations in that it
was lavender chiffon, shading off to
pink, with a sash of orchids falling
from her shoulder to below the waist.

YELLOW FEVER ISOLATED.
No Infection From Case Recently
Reported From Panama.

There has been no infection from the
case of yellow fever in Panama recently
reported. None is expected by the sani-
tary department on the isthmus. In
formation has reached the War Depart
ment to the effect that precautions to
prevent infection have been those uni
formly applied since the discovery, in
19OO-19O1, that yellow fever is not con-
tagious disease, but is transmitted from
one person to another by the stegomyia
mosquito and by that mosquito alone.
Similar methods have been employed
on the Panama Canal Zone for the de-
struction of another mosquito the ano-
pheles, which carries the malaria germ.
1t was established by experiments made
in 1898 by DIR. Roland Ross of the Brit
ish Indian army medical service and
three Italian physicians. Drs. Bigami
Bastianelli and. CRASH, that malaria is
transmitted from one person to another
solely by this mosquito, and is not due
to miasma exhaled from the soil or to
poisonous air of any sort.

Cotton futures opened steady at an ad-

than expected. and sales of 10000 bales
of spot there during the day caused con-
siderable bullish comment, but buyers
were few and prices advanced only d
points on the more active options in the
first half hour of trading. The weather
map was unfavorable, showing continued
dry weather in Texas. but bulls made
no capital out of 1t.
The session was dull throughout and
the trading contained no features of con-
sequence. In the face of the extreme
dullness the market was supported by pri-
vate weather reports from Texas showing

garded as serious in view of the near
ness of planting time for cotton. The

The weather of the week was far from
satisfactory, and along toward the week
end reports from some sections of Texas
regarding the droughty conditions pre-
vailing were serious. The movement con-
tinued very -lght, and the moderately
heavy spinners takings resulted in a
large decrease in the visible supply.
Bulls, however, made little of the fea-
lures that favored them, and the bears
offered the rings at all times enough
to prevent decided advances.

officers and others who had been promi.

quarters on the Rue de Chabrol, which
became popularity known as Fort Cha

were finally starved out, September 20
For the last ten days they had lived on

No Promise to Monopoly.


There was no promise on the part of
the republican party to change the anti
trust law except to strengthen 1t, or to
authorize monopoly and a suppression
of competition and the control of prices,
and those who look forward to such a
change cannot now visit the responsible
ity for their mistake on innocent per-
sons. CT course, the government at
Washington can be counted on to enforce
the law in the way best calculated to
prevent a destruction of public confidence
in business, but that il must enforce the
law goes without saying.

Copper Merger Progresses.

There is a little too much ostentation
n announcements made from inspired
sources that the copper merger is per-
manently off 1t is not observable to
the naked eye that preparations have
been seriously interfered with. Work is
going right along for the consolidation OF
the Montana mines under control OF
Amalgamated and of certain groups OF
Guggenheim properties; also OF the Cole
Ryan properties in the southwest. IL Is
shrewdly surmised that in the fullness of
time say about midsummer, these several
copper fragments will be collected to-
gether and joined into one corporation.
1t is noticed however, that in all these
supposed merger movements the Guggen-
helm properties in Alaska are left out,
although there is inside opinion that
the Alaskan mines when in working order
can produce half enough copper for the
worlds consumption at a cost OF ABOUT
) cents pound. Senator Clark also
has great mines in the southwest and so
have Phelps, Dodge & Co., that can mine
copper at a cost not to exceed 8 cents.
All of which feeds the suspicion that the
great merger now in process OF formation
is designed to unload mass of inflated
copper securities onto a deluded public,
leaving the real business of mining cheap
copper with the specialists who will re-
main on the outside.
Scrutiny of the draft of the federal in
corporation law fails to show any provi-
Sion LOT preventing iilSiueIS from poiIoW-
ing money of corporations deposited with
favorite banks and trust companies. Cor
porations are forbidden from engaging in
the banking business direct, but appar-
emily no way is devised of checking the
perncious practice of allowing the elect
to use the funds of such corporations by
ndirection as they have been doing for
years past, and never on such a scale as
since 1907. This is another one of those
things which are likely to command the
attention of the statesmen before any bill
is enacted into a law.
