Death of Mrs. William Ramsey

Mrs. Catherine Ramsey, beloved
wife of the late DR.. William Ramsey OF
Delta, Ohio, was the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Elisha Trowbridge. She was
born in Lewis county New York, June
9th, 1882, and on Wednesday, March
18th, 1915, we realized she was not, for
God had taken her, being almost eighty
three years of age.
When two years Of age, she with her
parents, four brothers and three sisters
came to Ohio. At Manner they were
attacked with cholera, one brother fall
ing victim to the dread disease. They
located in York township, Lucas coun-
ty. Her father being local preacher
was often called from home to attend
funerals, his house was at all times a
home for the pioneer minister and the
weary itnerant always found rest and
words of cheer under his roof. She
well knew the hardships and privations
of pioneer life.
June LIST, 1854, she was united in
marriage with DR.. William Ramsey OF
Delta, Ohio, who departed this life Oct.
10th, 1909. Four children were born to
this happy union of whom DR.. Frank P.
Ramsey of East Jordan, Mich, who
with two grandchildren, Miss June
Ramsey a nurse in the John Hopkins
Hospital, at Baltimore, and Paul r.
Ramsey of Stubenville, Ohio, are left to
mourn her loss.
Mrs. Ramsey, two years ago moved
to East Jordan to be with her son and
soon won the love and respect of all.
In early life she united with the Metho,
dist Episcopal church and has always
been faithful and consistent Christian
Her home was always open to the
ministers that came to Delta.
Servant of God well done
Thy glorious warfare past,

THE MODERN WAY

The whistling Girl and the Growing
Hen looked at each other and burst
out laughing.
Wen show 'emi" they exclaimed
as with one voice, and then, with their
heads in the air. they marched in, past
any number of girls who couldn't
whistle and hens which couldn't crow,
and signed for the vaudeville circuit
at $1,000 a week.
Times change, and what was a very
sound proverb yesterday may have be-
come, by the progress Of events, quite
punk to-day.

We are all fools; the only question

Every man seems to make a diff

A woman can always find a good

A man always has money enough
to buy things not good for him.
Any boy can fool his mother, but
any man cannot fool his wife.

WILSON ASKS LIGHT
ON SEAMEN'S LAW
Refers II to Gregory-Capital

was excited when President Wilson re-
fCrred Section 4 Of the law TO Attor-
ney General Gregory for an opinion.
IL has been known for some time
that the President was anNiously con-
sldering the details of the law. partic-
ularly since the announcement that
the steamships of Captain Robert Dol
lar would be transferred 70 the British
flag.
Section applies equally to foreign
ships touching at American ports and
&c American ships. II provides that
in any American port a sailor may de-
mand half the money due him, the
Crly restriction being that he may not
ask for IL oftenrr than once in five
days. This section provides that no
release of this privilege shall be bind
ing.
The object of this section. as ex-
planned by its friends. was to force up
the scale of wages on foreign ships

man could get half his pay, or on the

100000 CHEER
POLICE ATHLETES
Great Crowd Sees Men Catch
Burglars, Ride, Race and
Fight Sham Battle.

Forty thousand people occupied every
seat in the grandstand, stood on boxes
and fences and overran the field at
Gravesend racetrack yesterday after
noon a. the second and final day of the
two-day Police Athletic Carnival for
the benefit of the Honor Roll Relief
Fund created last year TO care for the
widows and children of policemen who
die in the performance of duty.
All the events we're run off fiawless-
lv. Two big stunts stood out proml-
nently- the sham battle and the bur
glar chases in which the Belgian police
dogs were the stars.
The sham battle was put over in true
war style. Unlike last week, no litter
ing greeted the wounded and dead as
they fell on the field The people
breathlcssly watched the relentless ad-
vance of the troops under Captain
Dorey, Of the regular army, against
the fertilization commanded by a regi-
ment under Inspector Dryer, retired
naval officer. The field was strewn with
the dead" and wounded" as the
fort" unable to resist the attack, sur
rendered.
The Mayor was keenly interested in
the work of the police dogs. Patrol
man Riley, of the Parkville station,
played the part Of a suspected burglar,
and was caught choking Mrs. Dessy
Ryan, who played the role of a house
wife. He was trailed after escaping,
and finally tripped and held by Rap,
who disregarded five bullets" aimed
at him.
Jack Eller, the champion Splinter,
was the hero of the track events. A
nine-times starter, Jack. who has been
cop more than FIVE years. finished
first i'm eight and second in the re-
naming event. The rough riding ex-
hibition, the runaways work Of the
mounted men and the fancy riding all
pleased the throng.
TIE horse races brought back to many
thoughts of other days, and the comic
horse race, in which runners appeared
with the bodies OF wooden horses
strapped to them, was well received.
The tug-of-war provided plenty OF
laughs also.
There was only one accident. In the
100-yard dash for men twenty-five
years in the service Cornelius Okeefe,
of the Bedford Avenue station, Brook
lyn, fell near the finish line and seri-
ously injured his right leg. He re-
ceived treatment and was sent home.
Just before the memorial services
for police heroes that concluded the
exhibition were begun Mayor Mitchell
gave the Lorillard Spencer medal to
John O'Byrne, of Traffic D. Brooklyn.
O'Byrne won the medal by his expert
horsemanship. He was introduced By
the announcer and receive an ovation.

that he is in the vicinity Of Maria,
Tex, and that he hopes to get across

say il will be difficult for Orozco TO

Huertista sympathizers say General
Orozco will lead an army against

was reported last night that an armed
force was marching toward Juarez from
the west. and among the rumors IN
circulation was one that Orozco had
planned to join this organization.
For some time there has been reason
20 believe that disaffection in the
Juarez garrison has gained such head
way that it would not be difficult for
any of Mexico's recognized factonal
leaders to take it over.

garrison mounted their horses tonight
