of Minnie Hamilton Mcclellan winged
it's flight from earth to the realms of
immortal glory to the "house not made
with hands.
AS | stood day by day and watched
this beautiful life go out. how forcibly
came to my mind these words!
''Friend after friend departs:
Who hath not lost friend!
There is no union here of hearts
That finds not here an end. y
For days we sat by the bedside of
our beloved friend and watched for the
death angel to snap the silver chord OF
life, for her physician had assured US
that nothing could be done, more than
had been done, to restore her to her
friends and loved ones; Fstill when the
grim reaper came and gave the final
stroke that severed her soul from her
mortal body it seemed that we were
wholly unprepared, for death is always
a shock no matter how, when or
where.
How we will miss this dear sweet
friend and loved one! How sad to
know that her voice is stilled forever
and that her footsteps will be heard
no more! And that she will never
again come into our homes and greet
us with that bright smile and beamlng
counteance that were so characteristic
of her But what comfort to our
sorrowing hearts to know that her
sufferings are over, and that today he
walks the golden streets of heaven
united with her Savior in whom she
trusted, beholding His G lory and re-
joicing in the fullness of His love.
How do we know that Minnie is
safe in the arms of Jesus? By her
unwavering faith in the saving power
of the Lord Jesus Christ. By her life;
it lies before us.
She was possessed of strong Chris
tian character, noble purpose, and high
ideals. Kindness was her watchword.
Her heart ever went out in tender
sympathy when..she saw.a.fellowmani.n
distress or need, and her means were
not withheld from him.
Charity was one of the Christian
graces that shone in her life with its
brightest lustre. | never knew her
to speak evil of anyone.
We know from the testimony given
US on her death-Ded when she assured
us that heaven was her portion.
She gave evidence that she had watch
ed and prayed" and was at peace with
her God. She had the most implicit
faith in prayer She talked so loving
ly and tenderly to her near friends
and loved ones admonishing them to
avoid sin and to meet her in God S
house. Yes, we know that Minnie has
not missed her Inheritance Nay! !!
there is one crown in heaven the An
gel Gabriel could not wear it fits no
head but hers, and she has it. There
is one throne the Apostle Paul could
not fill, - it was made for her and she
has it. What joyous thought to
those who loved her!
Let us remember, husband, sisters
and friends, 'that all things work to-
gether for good to them that love
God, and that God is our refuge and
strength, a very present help in time
of trouble.
When thou passeth through the
waters, | will be with thee; and
through the rivers they shall not over
flow thee: when thou walketh through
the fire, thou shalt not be burned;
neither shall the fame kindle upon
thee" Il will never leave thee, nor
forsake the" how precious are these
promises What more can we ask OF
Him who giveth and who taketh
away? Blessed be the name of the
Lord. "

THE DEAD.

Florence, Ala, October 11.-Miss
Mittie Sommer. a charming young
girl of this city. died at the Baptist
hospital inMemphis yesterday eve ming
at Z 80 o clock, following an ovpera-
tion at 2 o'clock. Miss Sommer left
Florence Wednesday night, accompa-
MED by her mother and DR.. r. M. Da-
Wis, and stood the trip to Memphis
well. She returned two weeks ago
from Gadsden, where she had been
teaching school, and had been suffer
ing since with malarial fever. The
deceased is survived by her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Sommer, broth
er, J. w., Jr., and ister, Miss Villa
Sommer. The funerals will be held
Sunday afternoon at 4 O'Clock from
the First Presbyterian church.
These sad tidings bring deep regret
to a legion of kindred and friends in
the old home. Mittie Sommer was
the granddaughter of the lamented
Col. and Mrs. Josiah McBee and was
girl of culture and many charms and
stood on the threshold of bright and
ambitious life the pride of her devoted
family. No words can comfort in
these first hours of bitter bereavement.

Then the council passed a new
ordinance, forbidding any gath

obstruct traffic. The policeman
was made Judge, jury and execu-

Attacked from Every Angle.

In the Bessie Babcock case. from Mon
tsna: the Mary A. Walsh case, from Mas
sachusetts. and the Edgar G. MeHdou case
from Connecticut, the Law was attacked
seemingly from every conceivable point OF
view Justice Van Devanter. I'm announc-
ing the opinion OF the court. rejected these
objections.
The court first decided that Congress had
the power 10 regulate the duties ot the
common carriers in respect 10 the safety
Of their employees while both arc engaged
I'm commerce among the states. and the Ia
bility of the carriers for injuries suffered
by the employees.
Both have a real or substantial relation
10 interstate commerce. and therefore are
within the range Of this power" said the
Justice.
Objections were refuted that the law pre-
vented contracts whereby tho railroad ex-
eInpted Itself from liability and that the
law improperly classified carriers into I'm
terstate and intrastate groups. Authorities
were cited also 10 show that no valid OBJ
lection could be grounded I'm the fact that
several states already determined the Ia
bilty Of interstate commerce employers
Pursuing this line. the justice said that

Connecticut View Rejected.

Finally Justice Van Devantor considered
tho position advanced by Judge Baldwin.
OF the Connecticut Supreme Court OF Err
rors. that Connecticut could not enforce the
law because its public policy was contrary
10 the law. The justice said
We are quite unable TO assent 10 the
view that the enforcement OF the rights
which the Congressional act creates was
originally intended to he restricted TO the
federal courts The act contains nothing
which is suggestive Of such a restriction.
The suggestion that the act OF Congress
Is not I'm harmony with the policy OF the
state, and therefore that the courts OF the
state are free TO decline Jurisdiction, is
quite inadmissibe, because IL prcsupposes
what In legal contemplation docs not exist.
When Congress. In the eXertlon OF the
power connded 20 Il by the Constitution
adopted that act. IL spoke for oil the people
and all the states. and thereby established
policy for all. That policy Is as much
the policy OF Connecticut as II the act had
emanated from its own Legislature. and
should be respected accordingly IN the
courts OF the state.
Justice Van Devantcr said the court was
not disposed TO believe that the exercise OF
Jurisdiction by the state courts would be
attended by any appreciable inconvenience
or confusion.
