Chairman Laird. of the Public Service
Commission yesterday received pleasant
testimonial of the regard in which he is
held by his fellow members of the COM
mission and all the employees of that body.
from its general counsel and its engineer
ing experts down to the Office boy.
At 3 O'Clock in the afternoon he was
asked to 60 into the hearing room, which
he did accompanied by Commissioner Tow
ers, who is TO succeed him in the chairman
ship of the board ; Commissioner Timanus.
General Counsel Bruce and Assistant Gen
eral Counsel Yelott There he met all the
employees of the commission, who had as
sembled to pay him their tribute of regard
and affection. This was voiced by Mr.
Bruce, who. in a very feeling speech. told
of the feeling Of deep friendship that every
body who had associated with Mr.. Laird
in the work of the commission had for him,
how all would miss him and how much the
State had profted by his loyal, unselish
and untiring devotion to the work that the
State had called upon him to do
At the conclusion Of his speech Mr. Bruce
presented. on behalf of Chairman Laird s
fellow commissioners and the employees OF
the commission. beautiful silver bowl
which Mr.. Bruce suggested could be used
for variety Of purposes. II could be used
as a receptacle for fruit or, filled with
flowers would adorn his table. and If used
for flowers he hoped that Mr.. Lairds en-
joyment Of their fragrance would be height
ened by the remembrance Of the feeling 1t
represented on the part Of the givers.
Mr.. Laird was very much affected by
the gift and by the little gathering of those
with whom he had worked on the commits
sion, and his acceptance was brief. But
| il he had talked an hour he could not have
expressed his thanks and his regard in
better terms.
Mr.. Laird will be at the rooms Of the
commission again today and may possibly
be there again for a brief time on Satur-
day, when the newly appointed Commits
sioner, former Judge w. Laird Henry. il
expected to take his seat. Then the Pub
lie Service Commission will know him nc
more as its leader and guiding spirit. lie
will 90 to his home in Rockville and will
engage in no work for the remainder Of the
summer. After that he will probably re-
sumo the practice Of law, although he has
made no plans for the future. He vii
turn his attention first TO the regaininl
Of his health and strength, which have
been undermined by his hard work on the
commission-work the magnitude Of which
those acquainted with it say. the publ,
has no real conception or appreciation.

President Urges All To Keep Their
Heads.

On Monday last President Wilson made
an appeal to the press of this country not
to add to the tenseness of the European
situation by publishing sensational, I'M
verified statements.
He held that the United States is abso-
lutely prepared to meet the financial stua-
tion here and that there is no reason for
alarm to spread except through unfounded
reports in the papers. He also said that
this country can reap great glory in this
situation by seeing that no one loses his
head" The President said:
ut is extremely necessary, in the pres
ent state of affairs on the other side of the
water, that you should be extremely care
full not to add in any way to the excite
ment. OF course. the European world is
in highly excited state of mind, but the
excitement ought not to spread to the
United States. So far as we are concerned,
there is no cause for excitement.
There is great inconvenience for the
time being in the money market and in
our exchanges, and temporarily in the
handling Of our crops, but America is alb
soutely prepared to meet the financial
situation and to straighten everything out
without any material difficulty. The only
thing that can possibly prevent it is I'M
reasonable apprehension and excitement.
THE situation in Europe is perhaps the
gravest in its possibilities that has arisen
in modern times, but il need not affect the
United States unfavorably in the long rum
Not that the United States has anything to
take advantage Of. but her own position is
sound and she owes it to mankind to remain
in such condition and in such state of
mind that she can help the rest of the
world. | want to have the pride of feeling
that America, if nobody else. has her self
possession and stands ready with calmness
of thought and steadiness of purpose to
help the rest of the world. And we can
do it and reap great permanent glory out
of doing it. provided we all cooperate to
see that nobody loses his head.
II know from my conferences with the
Secretary of the Treasury who is in very
close touch with the financial situation
throughout the country that there is no
cause for alarm. There is cause for get
ting busy and doing the thing in the right
way. but there is no element of unsOund-
ness and there is no cause for alarm.
THE bankers and business men Of the
country are cooperating with the Govern
ment with a ZEAL intelligence and spirit
which makes the outcome secure"

New Jersey Journal.

New Jersey Journal.
Mrs. Sarah X. Wilson, who passed away
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Abe L.
Wardell, at Laurilton. N. j., June %, 1914,
in the 18th year of her age was born in
Howard county, Maryland, at point about
rs miles distant from the cities of Wash
ington and Baltimore, on the plantations
of her father. Reason b. Simpson. wealthy
Shareholder.
Mrs. Wilson was twice married, her first
husband being DIR, Ohio Boswell, physi-
clan and druggist of Washington. d. C.
Her second husband was Endora b. Wilson,
of the same city. Five children we're born
to her by her first marriage, of whom two
only survive her. They are Miss Margaret
Boswell, of Pittsburgh Pa, superintendent
of the Deaconesses M. E. Home, of that
city, and Mrs. Abe l.. Wardel Her de-
ceased children are Mrs Katie Applegate
! and Mrs. Ella Wardell, of Cedar Grove. N.
j., and Miss Flora Boswell. of Baltimore.
Mrs. Wilson first came to New Jersey as an
evangelist during the winter of '74-'75. at
the request of friends TO hold revival meet
ings in the M. f. Church at Barnegat. And
those of us who are old enough TO remem-
Der will recall them as the most remarka-
BILE revivals ever held in this State. Her
intention was only to visit Barnegat but
gradually the religious excitement spread
from place to place and she was called
upon to visit the different towns until the
territory she covered reached from Farm
ingdale to Bass River (now New Gretna),
and tidal-wave of religion. as it were,
seemed to sweep over these places and
hundreds professed conversion through her
minstratiOn. OF those two or three score
yla h,I
lives Of skepticism, and to see them brought
into the churches was never to- be for
gotten event.
After this great demonstration had sub
sided, Mrs. Wilson felt that God had still
another mission for her to perform near
Toms River at Germantown, at that time
called "Dutchtown." To these. at that
time, benighted people, did she extend the
hand of benevolence and love, until they
grew to feel that God had sent one of His
messengers to lift them to higher plane
of existence. The appreciation of this
blessing these people have shown in many
ways to Mrs. Wilson. to the community in
which they live and to their God. Her labors
in this field covered number of years
until i'll health compelled her TO retire TO
quiet life. which was only quiet in a way,
for as the Courier" of last week states,
she was lever busy with her pen sending
out messages Of hope and cheer to those
ut a distance
Possessed Of a broad and Comprehensive
mind, great Bible student and lover Of
all the sciences, she could only be classed
among the most intellectual Of American
women in fact, she numbered among her
personal friends and correspondents Ella
Wheeler Wilcox. Helen Varich Boswell and
other women and men equally prominent
in the literary and political life of this
country. Until recently she had been liv
ing in Philadelphia for about IS years.
The funeral services were held at the
home Of her son-in-law. Mr.. Anthony APP
plegate, and interment was in Riverside
Cemetery.

person has proven as efficient and success
full as Mr. Lewis in getting through par
GELS post service elastic enough to be adapt
ed to our needs as they increase, or is
continuing with any more consistent vigor
the campaign for reasonable reduction
of rates. In fact. if he had not made an
intelligent study of the economics of par
GELS post, doubt if we would have any
thing more today than very unsatisfac-
tory, limited, four-pound service that would
have made little growth in popular use OF

Furthermore, he gave an attentive cal
to the parcels post originally as purely
grange proposition. and is almost our first
Maryland Congressman to take up a grange

great solutions to the high cost living
