Gave Life For Others

The Sentinel reproduces the follow
ing merited and beautiful tribute to
the late Mary Phillips, by the editor
of the Geauga Republican, published
at Chardon, o., where the deceased
spent the early part Of her life, and
where all that was mortal of her is
now at rest. The tribute reflects the
sentiments Of a wide circle of friends
in Medina and vicinity, among whom
is the editor Of the Sentinel, whose ac-
quaintance with Miss Phillips and her
family extended over a great num-
ber of years.
Mary Phillips died literally for
others. At an age when many young
women are considered young, this sac
rifcing, over-worked woman collapsed
and broke down. She had never Civ
en- town a public library; she had
not endowed any public institution
with money. She never gave any
thing to give but herself, but She
gave that.
She gave her life, not with the high
heroism through which one dies for
others, but with that higher heroism
through which one lives for others.
Sacrifice had been the very warp
and woof Of her life. If her own
career could not be lived out as she
wished it, she would at least make the
lives Of her parents and invalid sis
ters as happy as she could, and she
would try to inspire in her school chill
dren a longing for the higher educa-
tion. She became recognized as one
Of the best teachers Of children, do
ing noble work among growing boys,
and as superintendent and supervisor
of schools was paid more than Ordi-
nary teachers. Nearly every dollar
went to the comfort Of her loved ones.
She had rested scarcely day
in over 20 years. Other school teach
ers were spending their summers at
Chautauqua, on the lakes, and some
going abroad. From the time she
left college she had worked steadily
at her chosen profession.
What anguish she had III her heart
none could ever know: It never show
ed through her sunny smile, and the

Falls Below Estimate but no
Slackers Are Known Here.

The total number Of persons regis
tered in the four wards of this city
Yesterday was 1905. Of that num-
her about 200 were colored. Extra
men were placed at each registration
place to assist the regular workers
in order to expedite the work which
proceeded with orderly precision. So
far as known there were none that
made any attempt to escape registra-
ton.
The registration as given by wards
IS as follows:
First Ward-3O6, of whom 81 were
colored.
Second Ward-219, of whom q
were colored.
Third Ward-385- Number of col
ored estimated at 60.
Fourth Ward-395-Number OF
colored estimated at 60.
There were six aliens registered ir
the second ward, including three
Russians and two Cinnamon.
The registration caused no particu
lar excitement in the city, everyone
interested in the work going abou
it quietly and orderly, apparently witt
one idea in mind only, that of doing
their duty.
AS each man was registered he wa:
handed card bearing his name ant

man know when he will be called t.
the colors and probably. many o

An effort is also to be made to get

YIRGINIAN'S HOME GUARD.
Governor Stuart Says He Has Au-

to Organize.

Richmond, Va, June g. Governor
Henry Stuart informed the Council OF

"There is already authority with

authority, it is the purpose o. the

eress, some provisions OF which were
suggested by me, to cover this mat

very large extent, practically, !

of the counties.
81 am of the opinion, however, that
some very useful work can be done
locally in cities and towns where the
members of the companies would be

would be no objection to the proceed

YOUR MONEY WILL BE SAFE.
Financial Expert Pronounces Liberty
Bonds a Good Investment-Why
He BUYS Them.

81 am subscribing to the liberty
loan as good investment, irrespec-
tive of any patriotism" says; Roger
Babson, financial expert, In a letter
to the Secretary of the Treasury.
IF more people would take these,
bonds as a pure investment they
would be better off than in using the
money for other things which they
probably would buy. These liberty
loan bonds are as secure and should
be as liquid as any savings bank ac-
count, while they yield 1 12 per cent
more than a regular checking ac-
count. | don't know of any place a
person could put his money with
such safety, get such a high rate OF
interest and be able at any time 20
get his money out again, as through
these liberty loan bonds.
81 think that a, great many peo-
pie forget the convertible feature.
This possibility Of being able to con-
vert the bonds into 4 per cent bonds
or 1-2 per cent bonds, or perhaps
; ner cent bonds makes them exceed
inglv attractive. I really think that
50 much has been said about subscrlb-
ing to these loans as duty that peo-'
ple have almost forgotten. them as
an investment and have looked on
the purchase of them more as they
would a contribution to the Red
Cross or the Belgian fund. ;'
~ am interetested in the liberty
bond issue. as an attractive invest
ment, especially for people OF Limited
means, who otherwise are very lla'le
to get stung and lose half their saw
