Obituary.


Little Florence Morris, daughter
tof Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Headden.
granddaughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. d.
C. Headden and Mr. and Mrs. r. j..
Cummings, and great-grand-daugh-
ter of Mrs. j. M. Park, was born
Nov. 6, 1909.
! God took her home to glory April
I23, 1916. I don't think, as some
would argue, that kind and low
ling Heavenly Father plunged this
bright, sweet, amiable little girl in
to kettle of boiling water in order
to stamp out her life. But we know
by the teaching of Gods whole word
that all things work together for
good to those who love and serve the
Lord.
| Although her life was short it was
sweet and Christ-like, she was such
loving child and SO universally
loved by all who knew her that
much more good may be accomplish
ed by her short life than if she had
lived longer.
On Thursday afternoon, while
playing near the kettle, she got clos
err than she thought and accidentally
stepped back against it and fell
backward into the kettle.
God in his mercy relieved her
suffering the next morning at $3.50
o'clock. All that could be done was
to give something to relieve her.
The little darling begged for grand
mama to come and love her, which,
of course, she did as soon as possible.
She begged for the doctor until he
got to her, spoke of different ones
of her papa and mama's family and
asked Dear Jesus continually to help
her. With her little hand that was
not burned she drew her little broth
er to her and Rugged and kissed
him and said, "bless his little heart"
Oh, may God bless his life that it
may be useful one and may his
death, though he. may live long, be
as triumphant as was hers.
She had been taught to love Jesus
and told her mama often that she
loved Jesus and knew that he loved
her. She had knelt by mama's knees
and said her little evening prayer
ever since before she could talk
plainly. At 2 O'Clock in the morn
ing she shad gotten from under the
influence of the opiate and was toss
ing and groaning with pain. She
looked up to her mama and said,
Mama, / forgot to say my prayer"
She made an effort to get out of bed
to kneel by her mama as had been
her custom, and did scuffle until she
got on one little knee and said her
prayer. She then kissed mama, papa
and Aunt Mary and told them good
night. Dear friend, please stop and
repeat this little child-prayer-Now
I lay me down to sleep-and try to
think what it meant to US to hear
those little lips repeat those words
and see those little eyes close. know
ing that they might never open
again on earth; knowing at best
that it was only matter of few
hours until her little spirit would
wend it's way to the God who gave
it. She never spoke again only to
ask for water, milk or some coffee
like mama fixes hers.
Her papa's family and all her
mamas family, except the elder
brother, were with us long before
the end came. To say that the life
was almost crushed out of us all
would not be saying too much, but
oh how thankful we are that her
dear mama in trying to teach her
how to live and make a good and
useful woman, taught her how to
die and go home to God and glory.

The Austro-German forces, accord
ing to statement from Berlin, have
captured several of the outlying forts
protecting Peremysl on the north.
Austro-German artillery now com
mands the railway running from
Peremysl to Lemberg. The official re-
ports are taken to show that the
crucial point is a comparatively mar
row area, ten by twenty miles, by
which the Austro- German northeast
ern forces are separated. II this ter
ritory is won and the forces CONSOLE
dated Peremysl will be surrounded
and~a wedge driven from Peremysl to
Lennberg. The Russian military
critics remark that with the increas-
ing pressure Of the REINFORCED Rus
sian armies the Austro-Germans are
losing the benefit Of the huge num-
bers owing to the restricted area in
which they are operating. This de-
priyes them of the opportunity of
free maneuvering.s In the accom-
panying illustration Austrian artillery

NO YANKEES KILLED
in RAID ON LONDON
Details Of Zeppelin Attack Being
Kept From Public

London, June "Details of the
Zeppelin raid. over London Monday
night are still being withheld from
the public on account of. the rigid
censorship. The Associated Press is
permitted to announce, however, that
Of the four dead none was an Amer
can.
In the absence of detailed informa-
ton regarding the Zeppelin raid on
London there will continue to be
speculation as to the full extent of
the damage done until all the facts
are known. AS regards the raid the
censor was again last night very
sparing In his information. 1t would
not be surprising to learn that the
damage done was exceedingly heavy.
Familiar With London.
Thousands of Americans are fan1il-
lar with London, for, armed with
guide books, every summer they have
made themselves acquainted with its
points of attraction, it's main arteries
and is general topography. Unlike
New York, which is long and narrow,
London is nearly round being about
90 miles long and the same width.
Provided the press censorship is rigid
enough, and that the telephone ex-
changes won't give out information, it
is possible that the great mass Of the
people of London will not learn all
the facts about the raid for some
days. The illustrated London week
lies have been publishing splendid pic
lures OF the damage done on previous
raids including the Smelling of
Doncaster and Scarborough and it is
hard to see what purpose can be
served by preventing pictures being
taken in this instance as the effect Of
their publica ton wbuld be to crafty
curiosity and check the circulation Of
false rumors. The only facts regard
ing the raids that have been allowed
to leak through the cables to this
countr,- are that ninety bombs were
dropped in the outlying districts of
London; that four persons were killed
and several injured, two Of the latter
being Germ an tailoresses named
Schader. Quite a number of fires
were started it was said, but all Of
these might not have been caused by
the bombs A d all the fires We're soon
under control.
Damage May Have Been Heavy.
It is probable that the above infor.
nation is a tie correct so far as it
goes. At the same time the amount
Of damage done by the fires may have
been quite heavy. London, as well as
all British cities, is we'll protected
from fire and is In no sense SO in
famable as American cities. being

before Judge Mott in General sessions.
He had been on trial for ten days for
murder. Sentence will be pronounced
Tuesday. The maximum penalty is
twenty years in prison.
Madden was SO elated over. the
verdict that he told his counsel,
Charles E. Colligan, that he did not
want to delay sentence and would
take what was coming to him right
away. He had been told he was in
for an unfavorable verdict and feared
he would be convicted of first degree
murder.
Madden, with Arthur Beiler and
John McArdie, was held responsible
for the killing of James Moore called
in gang circles Patsy Doyle, in
saloon at Forty-first street and Eighth
avenue. Beiler later pleaded guilty to
the shooting of Doyle and is now

in New York.
Mr. Perkins said reports to him
showed that since Doyle was killed

However, from the great number of

that the windows and walls of many
houses were sbroken and the buildings
