OBITUARY..
MRS. ROLAND c. BoNsEY.


Lille Frances, wife of Roland {.
Bonsey, passed away at her home on the
Surry road last Thursday morning, after
long illness of heart trouble. Although
the end was not unexpected, nevertheless
it came as shock to many. She had
fought bravely to the last.
Mrs. Bonsey was born at East Surry
Dec. 5, 1s49, daughter of the late Capt.
Charles F. and Elizabeth Bellstty. In
1852 they moved to Ellsworth, where
she had since made her home. In Janu-
airy, 1851, she was married to Capt. Roland
c. Bonsey, and four children blessed
their union - Frank H., Ethel F. and
Sidney r. Of this city, and Mrs. Chester l..
Bailey of Searsport. OF her fathers fam
lily she is survived by two brothers, Capt.
Wellington G. Beilatty of Ellsworth and
Capt. Adelbert l.. Bellatty of Woodland.
She united with the Baptist church
when twenty seven years OF age, and was
one of the first to be baptized there. She
was q devoted wife and mother, and re-
ceived in return the loving devotion OF
husband and children. The one regret of
the family is that the son Sidney, recently
returned to the United States after nine
months service overseas, could not reach
his mothers bedside until one and one
half hours after her death.
The funeral was held at the home Satur-
day afternoon, Rev. r. b. Mathews offici-
ating. Interment was at Woodbine Gem

JAM. 20.

The first organized attempt to ex-
plore the interior of Africa was made
by Mungo Park, who set sail on his
initial voyage to the Dark Continent
123 years ago. He returned two years
and seven months later after having
explored a considerable section OF
Africa never before visited by white
man, although he failed in his main
purpose, which was to trace the source
of the River Niger.

culd fail through point Of order on the ground that the
section Of The army appropriation bill which carried the
project legislation and has no place an appropriation
Bill.
i will surprise many people to Learn that the House
rules permit such point Of order to be raised Where
was this rule when the Reed amendment for instance was
written into the postofice appropriation bill and when many
other pieces Of pure legislation went through a riders to
appropriation billsa
To be sure in parliamentary practice rule such a. the
one Representative Humphreys mvokes applies only when
the point raised but il to be hoped that now that it
has been raised against project Of the importance Of the
provisional army matter will be used to stop Ill efforts
to put riders on the appropriation bills. Appropriation bill
rde constitute one Of the worst Of the many bad practices
which have grown up in congress.
In many Of the states there is consttua inhibition
