MISS ELDRIDGE'S DEATH
MOURNED IN COUNTY
Was Known Far and Wide
for Her Many
Benefactions


years old, and one of the most widely
known women in philanthropy, died
at her home in Norfolk early last
Wednesday morning, as a result of a
shock which she suffered Friday. Miss
Eldridge was we'll known throughout
the state, and was greatly interested
in the younger generation, particu-
larly in her native town, Norfolk.
Gifted with a pleasing manner and
charming personality, she endeared
herself to hundreds of persons, who
express their sincere sorrow over her
death.
Miss Eldridge was daughter of
Rev, DR.. Joseph Eldridge and Sarah
Battell Eldridge, her father being the
third minister to hold a passionate in
Norfolk. When young woman,
Miss Eldridge attended Miss Porter's
school in Pennington, and was a
member Of the Congregational church
for many years in Norfolk. She was
an active worker, taking keen in
terest not only in matters apper-
tanning of her church, but to other
churches as well. She was deeply
interested in charity work, and had
been a Sunday school teacher and
worker for many years.
Throughout her whole life Miss
Eldridge has been hard worker for
the welfare of Norfolk, and one of
her greatest joys was giving a Christ
mas tree for children each year at
81, kA
spirited, and always gave freely
when assistance was aksed in any
public improvement.
Miss Eldridge established a read
ing room in the old Scoville building,
which was opposite the village green
from her home, and the present
library was erected there in 1888,
and dedicated in 1889. She took a
deep interest in education, and her
chief public interest was in library
work. She leaves two sisters, Miss
Mary Eldridge and Mrs. H. H.
Bridgman, both of Norfolk; three
nieces, Mrs. William Moffatt of Uti-
ca, N. Y, Mrs. Frederick M. Alden
of Detroit, and Mrs. George Griswold
of Tuxedo, N. Y, and two nephews,
Edward E. Swift of Easton, Pa. and
E.. B. Bridgman of Norfolk.
The public obsequies at the Con-
gregational church last Friday which
started soon after o'clock, were pre-
coded by prayers at the house by
Rev. John Barstow, pastor of the
church. The church was overflow
ing when the simple, yet impressive
service began. Mrs. Robbins Battell,
the church organist, played favorite
hymns of Miss Eldridge, which was
followed by scripture reading and
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Barstow. Rev.
William F. Stearns, former pastor
of the church, read Miss Eldridge's
favorite hymn, "My Faith Looks Up
to Thee. At the conclusion, of the
service Mrs. Battell played "The
Taneral March"
The quartered oak casket with
bronze trimmings was literally bur-
led in flowers with blanket of or
chids covering the top. Isabella
Eldridge" was the only inscription on
the name plate.
Among the beautiful floral tributes
were pieces from the churches and
Sunday schools, Protestant and
Catholic.
The remains were conveyed to
Center cemetery where the interment
was private. The bearers were
Charles B. Uffendale, librarian at the
Norfolk library, founded by Miss
Eldridge, Edward ]. Higgins, Charles
Hotchkiss, James Smith, jeremiah
O'Brien and c. A. Erickson, all en-
ployed at the Eldridge house.

Second, establishing the best safeguard

It is proposed to establish a govern

possible loss This would serve to
remove the present risk in resuming

UHHSeS Heat

Inventor Has Novel Engine
That Makes Steam
From Explosions.

London. Eng, July 1.-THE secret
OF a new internal combustion engine
that has created quite a stir in the
engineering world has recently been
resealed by the inventor. J. W. Still.
It gives % percent more horse
power for the fuel used than any other
existing engine and embodies all the
advantages Of the steam engine and
combines them with the lightness and
speediness OF the gasoline engine.
The principle Of the engine is sim
pie. The socalled "StlI" engine Is the
first in which serious attempt has
been made TO utilize the heat gener-
ated by the gasoline explosions.
When the gas is exploded in the
cylinder the heat given off generates
steam. which performs the return
stroke by being expended in the same
cylinder. but on the other side OF the
piston It has been proved that by
this method much more power per
cubic capacity is obtained
The -Still' engine is by no means
in the theoretical stage: II is an ac-
complished fact. Engines Of this type
have been constructed giving from
five 10 500 horsepower per cylinder.
The principle is applicable to all
engines using either gasoline. benzole.
paraffin or heavy oil.
The ordinary internal combustion
engine cannot start without the aid
OF some external source of power and
cannot develop its fun power except
at high speeds Mr.. Still has solved
the problem Of making his engine a
selfstarter and higher power at lower
sneeds than has hitherto been pos
sible.
The practicability of combining in
one engine the superior thermal cy-
cles at high temperatures and pres
sures Of the combustion engine. with
the low thermal cycle OF steam to
deal with its rejected heat and to the
same engine add the superior work
