He was born in Aberdeenshire. Scotland
I'm 1861. came to America when fifteen
wears old, and entered the service of the

THE grit with which he died was but
the supreme instance of the courage
which had always been his. He never
knew fear, but, with rare persistence,
fought for his duty and the right. And to
this courage he added loyalty. simple
and deep, to those who employed MIN ana
who were proud to be called his friends.
He kept this loyalty through four gem
erations Of the family, which Is now
bowed in grief at his death. Though he
owned q farm of his own, he preferred to
continue in their employ, as have his wife
and children.

every movement for the betterment or
conditions in his town and county;
faithful servant. and brave and honor
able man

brother-in-law, who has as yet not heard
of his death. Several members OF the
family have started for Jordanville To

LOVE THEIR HUSBANDS,
BUT OH, YOU FUSION!
Mrs. J. B. Hartman and Mrs.
C. D. Gibson Brave Help
meets Anger to Speak.
WHAD'YE MEAN, FORBIDDEN
Right to Fool EN- Once in a
While for a Thing Like
This" Says Ar
lists Wife.

Fusion hath charms to lure the docilc
wife Whether ii also hath charms to
eootbe the savage breast Of the angry
husband is the question that troubles the
noonle who heard Mrs. j. Borden Har-
riman and Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson
make fusion addresses yesterday noon at
the meeting at Broadway and 10th street.
Both women, il is said. have been for
hidden by their husbands TO make any
more public speeches. But both were
there. openly confesslng that fusion called
them and they could not say her nay.
Mrs Gibson began it.
My husband doesn't approve of this
Al ALL" she said, in her maiden speech.
lie just hates all publicity. But can't
help it, / think it's all right to fool EN-
once in a while, when it's for anything
like this.
1 hink it is woman's duty to take
part in politics when there is so much
good to be done"
Loud applause and laughter greeted this
declaration of independence, and then
Mrs Gibson, dimpling and bobbing her
sod-crowned head, went on to tell her
hearers why they ought to vote for
Mitchell.
Mrs J. Borden Hartman, who is vice.
chairman of the Woman's Fusion Com
mittee for Good Government. and mas
ter campaigner. admitted that she, too
Was speaking against her husband s
wishes.
My husband doesn't like it, either.
she said He thinks | am not strong
enough to stand the hard campaigning.
He's all right about fusion, though.
We never agreed in politics before, and
we've been married twenty-three years
don't put that i'm the papers, girls.
but we find it is pretty nice for men and
women both TO be interested in these
things and talk them over at home"
A member Of the Women's Fusion Com
nlttee said that Mrs. Hartman, while
forbidden to dispense any more cart-tail
orstory. would continue TO make indoor
sDeeches until Mitchell was elected.
Mrs. Gibson who made her entry into
politics last week was doubtful even
then about the feelings Of her artist hus-
band in regard to her venture. The next
day she burst into fusion headquarters
eXclaiming:
Never again! Never again! You
wouldn't want me to lose my husband
would you?"
Neither Mr.. Gibson nor Mr.. Hartman
could be found last night. and therefore
failed to express their latest opinions IN
regard to their wives political propen-
sites.
Mrs. Marcus VI. Marks entered the cam
paign yesterday, too, but her husband
was with her. He made speeches from a
cart and she distributed literature and
buttons to the crowd at Broad and South
streets. Mrs. Marks wouldn't make
speech, but she told the reporters that
she was sure fusion would win.
Mrs. Harriet Johnston Wood Mrs'
Charles Bernheimer, Mrs William Risgs'
Mrs Emil Newman and Miss Anne
Rhodes spoke at this meeting and tried
