full disposition was unconquered by the
four or five years of severe suffering
which she endured. During these years
of her experience as 'shut in" lit was
a benediction to visit her. She had lost
nothing of her interests in the affairs of
the community, her friends nor her
church. Few people kept better posted
on activities of the world.
When the end came it was not neces-
sary to make special preparations for
her long journey and her house was in
order Though she was not ignorant of
the arguments of skepticism and the
claims of religious fads, her rich christian
experience and her keen intelligence
penetrated all their sophistrieS and left
her confidence in the sublime teachings
of christianity unclouded. Her life in
health and sickness was a benediction
to all her friends.
She is survived by two sisters. Mrs.
Fred A. Thayer of Oakland, and Mrs.
Thomas E. Briggs of Montgomery
county; and one brother, j. C. Peddi-
cord, postmaster at Oakland. She was
exceedingly fortunate in having a sister
and brother and their families near her
during her sickness. Their unfailing
attention and devotion to her comfort
and welfare did all that could be done
to mitigate the rigor of her long and
severe affection.
When life was ebbing away, if she
could have spoken, she might well have
adopted the language of one of God S
saints who inquired as death approach
ed:
''What is this that steals upon my frame?
Is it death? Is it death?
If this be death soon shall be
From every pain and sorrow free;
| shall the King of Glory see,
All is well, all is well.
Il rest my hope IN Christ's dear name,
All is well, all is well.
Bright angels are from glory come,
They re round my bed and in my room,
They wait to watt my spirit home,
All is we'll all is we'll.
HER PASTOR.

Deer Park Hotel improvements.

A corps of carpenters and painters
are working on the Deer Park Hotel,
putting everything in the best possible
condition. Not only will the hotel re-
ceive full attention, but the cottages
are also receiving large share. The
buildings have never looked so attractive
as at present. Bright colors are employ
ed, and in addition, modern improve
ments are being instituted. The Boil
ing Spring water, conceded to be with
out an equal, and the introduction and
installation of natural gas in each
cottage, will place them in the category
of being at the head of similar summer
resorts,
The Messrs Murphy who will conduct
the business hereafter, are making
elaborate preparations for the opening
about the middle of June. Everything
will be of the very best. The cost of
all the Improvements is estimated to be
in the nelghborhood of eight thousand
dollars.

In Memory of Mrs. Ella May rliller.

Ella May Peddicord was born in
Montgomery county, Maryland. near
Washington City, October II, 1861.
She came to- Oakland in September,
1873, and at once became a scholar in
the Sunday school of St. Paul's Metho-
dist Episcopal church.
She joined the church at the age of
sixteen and remained a consistent and
devoted member until death. From the
time she united with the church she
was very efficient teacher in the Sun
day school until failing health compelled
reluctant retirement. She also taught
in the Junior League for some years.
Possessing beautiful contralto voice
she sang in the choir so long as health
permitted. She was a regular atten-
dant at the church services, being
especially faithful to the prayer meeting,
where her rich voice gave additional
charm to its song feature. She was
nonethelesss careful IN discharging her
financial obligations to the church, in
which matter her punctuality is patheti-
cally illustrated by the fact that on the
last Sabbath OF her life she placed her
offering in two envelopes, one for that
day and one for the following Sunday,
not knowing her end was so near.
On October Is, 1890, she became the
wife of George o. Miller, who died in
1904, after protracted illness, during
which her unwearied attention revealed
the fine quality of her wifely devotion.
Her father was one of the ablest
lawyers that has ever graced the Gar
rett county bar. Her mother was a
woman of unusual ability, as well as a
very consistent and devout christian
woman. From these parents Mrs.
Miller inherited a brilliant intellect
which she constantly improved by
appreciative reading.
She was loyal to her friends and her
fine social endowments and rare vivacity
enabled them to be profited and delight
] ed by her companionshlp. Her cheer

Students Receive Flowers and Seeds

Sometime ago the students of the
Sacramento California High school,
through the courtesy of their principal,
Prof. c. R. Craig, sent nearly hundred
specimens of the California State
flower, containing bud and flower, to
the two botanical classes of the Oak
land High school, Recently through
the courtesy of the West Sacramento
Commercial Club, they sent the classes
many packages of seed with directions
of planting. care and description of the
flower.
The state flower of California is
eSchSchOitsia CaliToyDica-a snowy,
free Towering annual, bearing hand
some graceful foliage, and flowers of
the richest orange.
A goodly number of the students of
the Sacramento High school sent their
names with the hope of taking up a cor
respondence with the students of the
Oakland High school.
The aim and purpose is to acquaint
the students of the two high schools
with the flora, geography and history of
both states. This certainly is worthy
aim and should receive encouragement
on the part of every body. The inter
change of ideas betwee the students
upon these themes can not help but
give rise to higher ideals, awaken a
more intelligent, sympathetic and APP
preclative interest in the exalted study
of nature as well as increase the gcner-
al fund of knowledge of the students
all of which is very desirable.
The Oakland High school most sin
cerelv appreciates the kindness of the
Sacramento High school.

WRITES FISH STORY.
Finley c. HendricKson Has Article in
National Sportsman.

Attorney Finley C. Hendrickson has
an article in the June number of the
National Sportsman, under the caption
of trout, bass and lninnows."
The story is written in a "fshy"
manner and has to deal with a pisca-
torial outing Mr.. Hendrickson had along
Cherry Creek in the extreme western
section of Garrett county one day last
summer.
If the writer of the article is as good
a nlmrOd as he is in writing a readable
story, then it is little wonder that he

brief space Of time without letting the

as could be had. One of the features
of the Imperial Laundry will be an
attempt to do family washings at
something like the price the people
are now paying wash women for do

cord kept on the cost, and if it can

Messrs. DOdson and Rentz think they
can secure this business and relieve
the people of Ocala Of a great deal of

Soon after the laundry is running
smoothly, the proprietors intend to
add another feature that will be
very important and necessitate the
expenditure Of about $4,000 more

SAYS MAC VEAGH
is A MUGWUMP
Ex- Congressman Watson Thus Describes
the Former Secretary in Mulhall
Correspondence.

Washington, July 24.-Former Secre-
tary MacVeagh was dubbed a mugwump
in letter from former Representative
Watson to Martin NJ. Mulhall, lobbyist
for the National Association of Manu-
facturers. This letter, written on Sept.
Is, 1909, was produced before the Senate
committee yesterday. Watson had been
trying to land F. Schwedtman of the
manufacturers on the tariff board and
wrote that President Taft was appoint
ing only men recommended by Mac
Veagh
IF he were Republican, we might
reach him." wrote Watson of MacVeagh,
"but he is mugwump and ] am not
hopeful of final success, for | will swear
/ never on earth knew what to do with
mugwump, inasmuch as | have no right
to Kill him."
Mulhall, writing to General Manager
Bird of the manufacturers, advised him
to be sin good fighting shape on Sept. II,
to visit the White House at Beverly
with me-"
In November, 1909, Mulhall wrote of
trips to Massachusetts to help Governor
Draper" who had incurred the enmity
of the labor unions on account OF his
veto of an eight hour bill. He wrote
Schwedtman it would not be hard to
get the Knights of Labor and the Amer
lean Federation of Labor fighting to the
advantage of the manufacturers.
About the same time he complained
that Bird twas more boss of the or
ganization than Charley Murphy is in
Tammany Hail."
Mulhall added that in the days of Van
Ceaye things were done "in the open"
and that when Bird came in he noticed
return to the "secretive" methods that
preceded Van Cleave.
What do you mean by secretive? :"
asked Chairman Oyerman.
"No letter writing - gumshoeing
around and keeping everything under
cover" replied Mulhall.

Kirk kilisse by the Turkish troops was
issued by the Ottoman government yes
terday, with the object of counterbal-

caI election held Tuesday to choose a

President Wilson wrote a letter dur
