At meeting of the Masonic Club
last Friday evening, it was ordered
that the following resolutions be draft
ell upon the death OF our late member,
Rev. j. Rockwell Smith.
Whereas. it has pleased our Supreme
Master to call our worthy brother, J
Rockwell Smith, from his labors here
to rest on high. therefore be it:
Resolved. that IN the death of ]
Rockwell Smith. we have lost a genial,
affable, courteous member of our club,
one who commanded the respect and
esteem of all the club members. In ap.
probation of his merits as a man among
men, be it further
Resolved. that in his death the club
has suffered a loss which will be felt
by it in but little less degree than those
composing his domestic circle and that
the traits of character which he exhib-
tied. the fidelity with which he dis
charged all professional and private
duties, merit the remembrance and
emulation of all its members.
We sympathize with his widow and
children and with the church which
mourns his departure.
Resolved, in token of the esteem
in which he was held and in memory of
his friendship as club member, that
these resolutions be furnished his fam
lily and also published in the Central
Record.

he meeting of Presbytery IN Lancaster

the meeting Of Presbytery IN Lancaster |
last October, he sat with him and n
beloved brother minister into the late
hours Of two nights, speaking Of the
things pertaining to the kingdom,
enjoying the high fellowship of COM
mon interest in the unseen and eternal.
Sorrowing most of all that we shall see
his face no mere on earth. yet we put
away from us the thought that his
death was untimely, as our faith abides
IN the infinite wisdom and goodness of
God. His life given for Gods sake.
for his own sake. and for the sake of
his friends and fellow men, goes on
without break. fulfilling its divine pur-
pose for ever. finding UNNECESSARILY
more than full compe nsstion for that
which was subtracted here in that
which is added over there.
Uniting with the PRESBYTERIAN church
when young. he lived in the strength
Of an unwavering faith. When stricken
with appendicitis. and removed to the
hospital at Lebanon, he expressed his
readiness for the issue whatever it
might be, and his resignation to the
will of God. After some weeks an
operation was performed; but it be-
came evident few days later that the
hope of his recovery was not to be full
filled. When the death shadows were
already falling upon him, he calmly
dictated letter to the writer of this,
making some suggestions and requests
concerning his funeral, and signing it
with his own hand. He remarked that
it would be sweet to die on the Lord $
Day, but the divinely appointed hour
was little later. With full composure
he awaited the end; and on Tuesday
morning December the 2sth he fell into
peaceful slumber. to awake in 1.-THE
land of pure delight" where weakness
and pain and death and sorrow are uu-
known forever.
He had been stricken on Wednesday
evening after conducting prayer meet
ing and his Bible class, as it proved,
for the last time. In the same church
from which he had gone out that even.
ing. simple services were held on the
fourth Wednesday after before crowd
ed congregational parishioners. citizens
and friends. bowed in deep bereavement,
under the strange providence that had
befallen them. Sincere words of an.
preciation and affection were spoken,
though respect was paid to his dying
request that eulogy should be avoided.
The body was then taken to Danville,
and reverently laid to rest in Bellview
Cemetery; and the fearful company
that stood about the grave felt the
appropriateness of the solemn words
spoken as the cssket sank into its quiet
resting place, BLESSED are the dead
which die in the Lord from henceforth;
Yea. saith the Spirit. that they may
rest from their labors; and their work IS
do follow them"

School BOquei.

Our school DO, uet is composed of as
great variety Of flowers as can be COL
lected in single one-the various
forms and many colors that belong to
the flowers of the field. scarcely exceed
the variety of dispositions. faces and
forms, that congregate in our school
room day after day.
Lizzie is cur Arbor Vita-w with her
love smiling, happy face, she enters
and her hand is ever ready to assist her
less gifted associates. every word and
act seeming to say; Il live for thee
only. for self seems entirely for
gotten. She has found place in our
affections that can never be lost.
Next in the arrangement comes
Mary. who is our Chrysanthemum. and
as her daily intercourse endears her
more and more to each heart it also I'M
presses upon US the conviction that.
truth needs no flower of speech, for
her unvarnished story carries convic-
tion to every mind and is priced more
highly than if it were clothed in Ian
guage the most beautiful and fowery
you could conceive IF.
The next flower that demands our at
tention is Maggie who represents the
White Lily. How embIamatic the
name, for she is certainly the embodi-
ment OF purity and loneliness. Her
countenance is all sunshine and her
purity Of heart and loneliness of dis
position draws around her the love and
warmest wishes of her schoomates.
The next selection in the arrange
ment of flowers is Jane, who is true
representative o. the Clover, her in
dustry is proverbial. she, like the busy
bee. improves each shining moment
When she, by her perseverance, masters
the problems of mathematics, and earn
ed well her other lessons, she then en-
ploys her time in household duties,
grazing well alike the school room, par
Tor and Kitchen, such industry com
mands alike the imitation and admira-
ton of her schoomates.
Then comes Belle, who il our Jas

are, which exscts Il share Of your af

ton to all who know her, is tine sincere
wish Of all her schoomates
What flower next claims place in
this school boquet? 1t must be Ellen
who represents the Poppy so emble-
matte of Irritation. This beautiful
flower has much to commend it and
let us not censure IL too harshly for
fickleness, even tho she be as change
able as the wind, each admirer, in his
turn, has the satisfaction of knowing
he has been loved some, and such
thoughts help alleviate the bitterness
of disappointment. She is flower in
our boquet very necessary to its beauty
and fragrance even if she does enjoy
herself at the expense of broken hearts.
And now we have Alice who is our
White Pink, and she is really the pink
of perfection. Her character of artleyg-
ness TO the letter. her sweet face with
her unaffected manners, wins your

Why Red-Heads Are Seldom Bald.

The reason why red-haired people
are less subject to badness than 9th

relatively thick, one red hair being

CHICAGO'S SAFETY &C
CHANCE TO DO G.
Is a fender a public safety meas
ure?
That's a question to be put up to
this band-new commission of traffic
and safety that was organized this
week-unless some members of the
commission refuse to consider the
fender matter.
The commission contains three
regular newspaper men, John Shat
fer of the Post, E. Beck Of the Tri-
bune and Chester Keel of the Amer
lean. Victor Lawson, Daily News,
and James Kelley, Herald, refused to
serve. John Eastman, Journal and
Harrison Parker, Hearst man, have
not been heard from.
The unenforced fender ordinance
is the biggest public safety measure
now before the public. This safety
commission will probably be given a
chance to do some good unless some
members of the commission object.
Objection, if there is any, will
come from these virtuous newspa-
per men because they have gone
three years with fender ordinance
on the city law books and have not
put tenders on their newspaper
trucks.
Judge Joseph SABBATH, chairman of
the commission, has denounced
newspaper trucks as the worst
speedsters in the city, and after a
vigorous campaign abated the circu-
lation auto nuisance
Now he is hooked up with the

owners of the very trucks he called
menace to public safety not so
long ago. He said that newspaper
auto trucks were recklessly driven
and that accidents happened every
day that were preventable by low
speed
So the judge, whose business is to
interpret the law, will no doubt tell
these newspaper men that their
trucks, crashing about in wild haste
to get papers on distant stands are
a menace to public safety"
SABBATH is in favor of tenders. He
came right out for them a month
ago, when the scrap over the en-
forcement of this public safety prop
osition was in it's greatest heat
When the commission gets to-
gether on public safety the fender
question, not only the enforcement
of the fender law but the moral OBJ
legation of truck owners will come in
for consideration.
Then how will these newspaper
men act who want public safety?
Will they adopt this safety measure
that a majority of the city council
has demanded five times, or will they,
actuated by purse string motives,
pass lightly over the fender ques-
ton?
If Shaffer of the Post or Beck of
the Trib were to come out for the
fender law it would be enforced.
