ODrtuary.
Emily Wesmere was bora la Portage
Co., Ohio, la the year 1833, and died io
Covnnna, Jan. 9, IfOt.
. atlas Wetasore sprung from one of the
New England families which settled on
what is commonly known as the Western
Reserve, Her ancestry were Puritans,
who Settled at Mlddietown, Conn^ in
1635, During this period of 269 years,
tbe family has been closely identified
wtth the church and tbe nation. Her
grandfather Wetmore was a soldier in
the Bevoiuttoosry War, and her grandfather
Richardson was lb the War of
1812. Her parents being members of the
Methodist church, her training wss under
Its teaching In tbe Sunday School
prayer meetiog and class meeting.
In early youth she experienced religion
and Joined tbe church. Miss Wetssore
was an educated woman. Her edncation
began in a thorough training tn
the schools. Not satisfied with tbe advaatages
of tbe public schools, sbe entared
the Weslero Reserve Seminary—a
Methodist Institution—from which she
graduated in I860. Her grsdBetSoo was
pi+eeded and followed by years of teaching
both in tbe pa bile schools sod in the
Sunday School.
la 1683 she aad her mother removed to
Michigan snd fettled in Corunna, where
their certificates of membership were
heeded in to the pastor of the M. E.
cborvh. and their names placed on its
roll. Soon after settling in Coroons her
mother wss taken Ul, and after two years
of suffering went to her bervenly home*
For more than IS years Mies Wetmore
lived alone, busying herself witb . the
quiet duties of tbe home and the cburcb.
These were years of ripcoingacd maturing
Christian experience. In her last
written testimony she said she was
"^trusting iu tbe everlasting arms to carry
her safely home." 1
She was a member of tbe church for
more than 50 years, and a teacher in the
Sunday School throughout that time,
except when prevented by illness. She
was also actively identified with the
work of the W. C.T.U., ss also with the
missionary work of tho cburcb.
This brief biographical sketch suggests
a life of usefulness by far above the
average. Miss Wetmore was a woman
of marked personality. She was intellectually
strong and active. Her convictions
were dear, and ber moral principles
positive. In judgment 8he wss
bound, ber conclusions being reached by
thoughtful investigation. She bad peculiar
insight as a Bible student, and
and she was at ber best as a Sunday
School teacher. Sbe loyed the Book of
ber Lord, and eagerly devoured its contents.
Her well-selected library—with
some very rare treasures—contributed
to the life derived from tbe Word of
God. Wtth a mind well informed and
.good conversations* power, she was decidedly
instructive and entertaining
company. She was self-reliant independent,
assertive and yet witb all modest.
The principle of justice was conspicuous.
She tried to practice the
Golden Rule. She appreciated the kind
aass of ber friends, but found ft bard to
accept of their favors without some suitable
return. She could not readily yield
to a state of dependence even though it
came by physical weakness snd suffer,
ing. It was ber pleasure to be able to
pay all financial obligation, and to bestow
token of esteem upon her friends.
Her life was a valuable contribution to
the world.
Tbe funeral services were conducted
by her pastor at the residence of Mrs.
Onroey, where she died. The choir furnished
appropriate music, and tbs W. C.
T. U. presented a beautiful floral offering.
The remains were sent to Ohio to be

How he begun to rind tbe possession
of that paper a nightmare. He knew
case.
that tremendous pressure aud re~
sourccM, which he could not anticipate,
would,be brought to bear to
wrest it from him, and thus prevent
its being used to save .the Wright estate;
for the perusal of the paper
which HifJsmun had handed him satisfied
him that he held a safeguard
against the plot that had been laid to
steal a fortune. He began to have
aa inkling of the nature of the combine
tioti which had been formed, and
he wa* much cone*reed lest the paper
which waa worth so much to the
Wright* should he ha some way filched
from him. Be feH that he wee making
this fight for Miriam, and he waa
doubly concerned over the result. Be
knew that the paper ia*utkom« aad
fortune to her; it meestt also perhaps
the happhjaisa tlkefe had^been so long
desded her; aad. it weald secure the
triomph of justice over deuberatcj
vfthriny.
Of coatee plans would be at once
laid to recover the paper, and Irving
divined the necessity of putting it immediately
oat of reach oa* the conspirators.
It was eight o'clock, and Mr. Everett
was just stating dewn to his
breakfast.
the lawyer finished his meal In a hur
ry and at once led the way to the
library. Here the story was soon told
and tbe paper handed over to the
lawyer, who locked it up in hia safe.
"Now," said he, "I must leave for
the courthouse, aa I have a case at
nine o'clock. Can you come here tonight?"
,. "Yes."
"Well, come about eight o'clock.
And during the day avoid HiUsmen If
you can, and if you run across Franklin
bluff him but, I don't want to
see you about my office, either."
"Suppose they 'should ask me for
that paper?"
"Why, remember that you were on
a spree last night, and your recollection
of anything that happened ia
very indistinct. 'You will not be much
annoyed by Hlllsman to-day, fdr it
will take him some time to sleep off
last night's experience. Be on your
guard against Franklin, and do not
give him any satisfaction."
As a matter of precaution, the two
men separated at the gate to prevent
if possible anyone from, knowing- that
they Lad met. Irving took a roundabout
way, and as he passed a corner
not far from Mr. Everett's residence
he observed a man leaning idly
against a lamp post. The man's appearance
was strangely familiar, even
though he, wore a patch-over bis' eye.
Irving could not stop to dissect hia
make-up, and it was not until he bad
got three or four blocks away that
his memory responded, bringing back
that dreadful experience on the river,
and he recalled the powerful physique
and cat-like tread of Old Tom. As
soon as he made that discovery he
retraced his steps, but his antagonist
of the river .had gone.
At the office he found a note from
Franklin requesting him to call upon,
him as soon as he received it. To
this Irving at first concluded tbat he
would pay no attention, but he
thought better of it and went directly
to Franklin. He found that gentleman
engaged with Merivale at the
time, but he was cordially invited in.
"What I wanted to see you about,"
said Franklin, "was a paper which
that fool Hilisman stole from this
office. Last night when I wet you——"
"Met me?" aaid Irving, in blank
amazement.
"WelL perhaps you don't remember
it," said the colonel, smiling, "for I
must confess you were very happy
last night when I saw. you. But, at
any rate, I demanded the paper of
Hilisman. He denied having it at first,
but I think I scared him pretty badly,
and after you had gone he aaid he
had given it to you. Have you got
the paper?"
"I have not. What was the nature
of u r
"It is of no importance, tbe nature
of it. You have not seen the paper?"
"Possibly I have seen it, but as you
have not told me what it is—"
"I thought at the time that fellow
was lying, and that he thought of you
as a shield ior himself."
"Is this all you wanted to see me
about?" said Irving, with apparent
disappointment.
"Oh, by the way, yoa did not spead
the night at your rooms'*
"Vo," aaid Irving, foditfcretrtly.
"How was that?"
"See here, colonel, doesn't it occur
to yoa that yoa are taking a vast deal
of interest la my affairs?*'
-WelL you see, I like yoa, Warde."
"Thanks."
"And yoa might aad it to year interest

"It is veleeele, thear

"Bother the paper! Why, if I had

that I would give it to you -without
having a description of it?"
"I'm sorry that you can't help me
about it, as it is of great importance
to some friends of mine."
"By the way," said Irving, "is there
any news tn the Wright ease?"
Tbe colonel looked at him penetratingly
for a moment and then replied:
"Why do you rsk? I am out of the

evidence against him. He did

Warde was considerably relieved on
this score, for at present he did not
care to complicate matters by having
to consider Frank as an element ia
them. '
At eight o'clock Warde pnd Mr. Everett
were again closeted together,
and the paper that had caused such a
vast amount of trouble was taken
from the safe and carefully read. It
was dated 20 years before the time
of this atory. The handwriting was
bold and plain. The following were
the contents in full:
AGREEMENT BETWEEN JOHN T.
WRIGHT AND JAMBS FRANKLIN.
John T. Wright has this day made th<
following transfers of property with\ the
subjoined understanding with James
Franklin: The Wright homestead. 5«
acres, all Improvements. The Magnolia
plantation, 2.000 acres, in parish,
Louisiana. The Coahoma plantation, 8,-
€70 acres, ia Mississippi. The Queen City
plantation, 11,960 acres, in Arkansas, A
lot on Maine and Boulevard in tbe city
of Nilus. » by ISO feet. A lot on Linden

Teaaa, 6,867 acres, to tbe Shelby County
Real Estate and Investment company.
A tract of land In — county, Colorado,

These transfers are made to protect
the said John T. Wright from sundry

tract of land fer Wright; and a* soon
as he learned of its possibilities he
wrote to Wright telling him that tie
probably bad a large fortune in it, if
he had continued to hold it. Wright
wrote back that the land was still
his, and that the taxes had been paid
upon It regularly. This letter has
been secured. Of course the news of
tbe discovery of this valuable vein on
Wright's land created intense excitement,
and Frederick Merivale, the
largest stockholder in the adjaeewt
mine, at once placed himself In correspondence
with James Franklin.
Just what has taken place between
them is merely a matter of surmise,
but this is doubt leas the cause of
Merivale's visit to Nilus."
"No wonder they were willing and
ready to spend nv>ney, and to employ
all sorts of means to thwart the investigation
of the truth. It is now
only too plain that the murder of
JoMn T. Wrlgbt was simply'a part of
a great conspiracy to get possession
of the mines."
"Not a doubt of it; and there is no
reason to suppose tbat the conspirators
will quietly allow this paper to
remain out of tbeir possession. They
will do some dark scheming to get
hold of it. I think, therefore, that
we had better take a copy of it."
The lawyer got from his desk a
piece of paper, old and somewhat
soiled, which could very easily be
taken for the paper on which the
original agreement had been written,
and then he instructed Warde to
make a copy just as much like it as
deft penmanship could contrive, Irving
was expert enough to make one
that could hardly have been told from
its prototype. This was held before
the fire so as to dry the ink and
draw out its blackness. It was then
folded and backed with the words,
"John T. Wright's Copy of the Agreement,"
just as the original had been.
Hardly had this task been accomplished
when the door bell rang and
soon afterward the servant announced
that Col. Franklin desired
aa audience with. Mr. Everett. The
lawyer saw that it would arouse
Franklin's reapedoas if he destraed
aa Interview, and he waa aot averse
to a contest of wits with tbat estate

to know what to do with Irving. It
would not do for him to go out ia

colonel.

The power which was iu tbe personal

his influence over those with whom he
associated is well illustrated by an incident
which happened early In 18CL
The convention which was to decide

conflict was in session in Richmond,
As is well known, both the union and
the secession parties were strong ia
the state, and the delegates to the convention
were correspondingly divided in
sentiment, saya Youth's Companion.
The students aad professors of the
Virginia military institute, altuated in
Lexington, Va., were almost unanimously
in favor of secession. At Washington
college, now Washington and Lee
university in the same town, the union
sentiment prevailed.
One Sunday morning it was learned
that the national flag which had floated
over Washington college had been pulled
down In the night, and was lying In th£
mud. The students suspected that the
students of the Virginia military institute
were responsible for the outrage,
but having no proof, contented them­
selves with cleaning the sag and re­
placing it.
It waa not long before a group of students
from the Virginia military institute
stopped on their way by, and, in
the light of open day, undertook to haul
the flag down. Thia time the Washington
boys were on the alert, and, falling
upon the depredators, handled them
somewhat roughly and beat them from
the grounds.
The report that a number of Washington
men had beaten one cadet without
provocation threw the Institute Into an
uproar, and the whole corps immediately
turned out to avenge their comrade.
Arming themselves with whatever they
could lay their hands on, they formed tn
battle array and r/raeeeded toward

and portrayed tbe experience of very
many of God's children.. They are
faithfully led by God to the border of
a and of great opportunities and possibilities,
it is the will and purpose
of God that they should go up and
possess the land. God says: "Go
forward." But the walled cities look so
impregnabl« and the giants so mighty
and terrible that the heart grows taint
Unbelief takes possession and urges
flight back to the Egypt of former
bondage. Self is chosen captain instead
ot God, and while rebellion Is
keeping the stubborn feet from ©Ding
oa into the Promised Lead, the oppeetanity
is lost, andithe command of
God is then heard: '^To-morrow turn
you, and get you into the wilderness."
Tbea it is folly to attempt to rush on
Into tbe Promised Land. Disaster lies
ahead; safety can only be found with
God In the wilderness behind. Let us
seek to learn with patience the lessons
Cod would there teach us.
THS purpose or this discipline was
three fold: Punishment, purification
aad preparation. And these are the
reasons why God to-day drives Hia children
back into the wilderness. Their
sin of unbelief and rebellion must
be punished. The dross of unholy
desires and purposes must be burned
out of their lives even as the gold
is purified in the fire, and they
must he prepared anew for entrance
into the land of promise. Punishment
for wrong doing is necessary
and wholesome. It is a wise and loving
parent who punishes his child for the
evil deed. Many a child is ruined for
time and eternity because the foolish,
misguided parent believes that indulgence
and the excusing and overlooking
of sin is love. So was it with the sons
of the Prophet Eli, a really godly man
but a weak and indulgent father. See
the awful fruitage of his lack of discipline
through punishment. Behold
David in anguish of spirit mourning over
his son Absalom. Hew could such a
godly man have such a wayward son?
Why was it that A am on and Adonijah,
two others of his sons, wrought so disgracefully?
Go back to the childhood
and youth of these men. Indulgence instead
of discipline. David a truly great
and strong man when ruling a nation,
but an ir.dulgent and weak father. It
was not love, real love, which withheld
punishment "He that spareth his rod
hateth his son; but he that loveth him
chasteneth him betimes." And delay
not the punishment, but "chasten thy
son while there Is hope, and let not thy
aoul spare for his crying." Wrong doing
must be punished. Love finds expression
in punishment of evil. And so
God punishes because He loves. The
children of Israel must oe punished for
their unbelief and rebellion. God's
children to-day must be punished for
sin. But' "no chastening for the present
seemeth to be joyous, but grievous;
nevertheless, afterward It yieldeth the
peaceable fruit of righteousness unto
them which are exercised thereby."
Punishment is part of the wilderness
discipline.
URIFICATION wss another purpose
P of the wilderness discipline. Israel
must needs be purified from the element
of unbelief before they could enter the
land of promise. During those forty
years of wandering one by one those
Who In Qnb>dief and rebellion had
thwarted the purpose of God perished in
Ue wilderness. Not one unbelieving
heart could possess the land, tt is so
with the child of God to-day. Tlw wilderness
experience comes that tbe heart
aad life may be freed from those thing*
which thwart God's purposes and plana

PRKSIDKNT ROOSKv KL.T "a message
to Congress setting forth the history
of the events in Colombia and Panama
in connection with the negotiations
for the canal is a candid, lum>
inous statement whieh answers all
the quelle* to wbicb the affair baa
given rue and reveals the attitude
of our own government in a light
whieh will evoke the plaudit* of the
American people. The President
shows that the proposition which
we made to Colombia was more than
generous to that country, and he
points out that Colombia itself, Just
after the revolution at the isthmus
took place, virtually acknowledged
thia by agreeing, indirectly and
secretly, to meet all tbe United
States' demands, providing we would
permit her to attempt to re-establish
ber authority at the isthmus, and
thus make ns a party to the overthrow
of the regime set np by the
people of Panama.
Colombia's whole course throughout
the affair was actuated by a
rapacity which was defeated by its
own venality and blindness, and by
the courage and honesty of the administration
at Washington. It was
the purpose of the authorities at
Bogota to cheat the French syndicate
ont of its interest in the canal,
and thus to get for themselves the
$40,000,000 which we agreed to pay
to that company. This conspiracy
to make the United States a participant
in the steal from the citizens
of a nation with which we are on
terms of tbe utmost cordiality waa
happily defeated by the revolution
at the isthmus and by the prompt*
ness and intelligence of the Washington
goverment.
Every criticism which has been
advanced by the enemies of tbe
canal and also by the enemies of the
administration has been answered
by the President with a frankness
and a comprehensiveness which will
silence opposition. The friends of
tbe treaty will now be able to make
quick work with that compact. Gorman

Some* years ago Sir Charles Mordaunt
witnessed in Scotland a strange battle
between an eagle and a stag, which completely
dispels any theory that the ornithologist
may put forward as to eagles
pot attacking large animals, says the
Chicago Journal. The bird singled out
from a herd one particular buck, which
It succeeded in driving from the rest.
It struck the animal repatedly with its
powerful wings, knocked It down and
finally killed It.
Baron Schroeder witnessed a still more
remarkable spectacle. An eagle attacked
a fawn which was one of a herd
la the highlands. The cries of the little
one were answered by Its dam, which
sprang upon the eagle and struck It repeatedly
with its fore feet. Fawn, deer
and eagle rolled headlong down a declivity,
and the bird was dislodged from its
hold and the fawn rescued.

Michigan has offered one word In explanation
of the lose by disease of nine
per cent, of Michigan's best trained men
at the period when they are supposed
to he strongest. Gooding's physician
maaa t£is remark: "Strong men seejt
to go quickest with typhoid fever." The

Mr. Fltxpatrick and Manager Baird both
confirmed, as a general experience of
athletes, the statements ot members of
tho team and squad who say that they
have not yet recovered from the enormous
supper which they ate in the Chicago
Beach hotel the night after the
Chicago game. Gooding's death has
blasted rome of Michigan's fine prospects

only six of the men who played Chicago.

The two Americans who constrocV

It was necessary to carry the roadbed

workmen engaged in cutting the galleries
were In many cases lowered ia

60 tunnels had to be cut in vhe course of

kind on earth.
It ts on this road that the signal
achievement of constructing a lofty steel
bridge connecting two tunnel* was accomplished,
in building this bridge,
which spans a crevice 575 feet wide and
hundred* of feet deep, it was necessary
to lower all material from the top of
the cliffs by wire cables. The whols
stupendous task was made possible only
by the liberal use of tbe "V switch" or

to construct a switchback in the

The digestive tube is filled with ferments
capable of attacking, of destroying
and of transforming the food with
which they come in contact, but these
ferments attack neither the walls of the
Intestines nor the parasites which often
live in abundance on these walls, says
Public Opinion. What causes this condition?
The question has often been
discussed and now the researches of M.
E. Welnland on the tryptlc ferment
again bring the matter forward.
In 1S91 Frenzei stated that he believed
the protection enjoyed by the Intestines
was due to the autiferments which
are secreted by the living tissues. An
experiment 3f M. Welnland along this
line is very interesting. A mixture was
made of flhrine and of trypsine or of
pepsin and tbe whole was placed to digest
after a little juice of ascarU was
added. No digestion occurred. The experiment
may be prolonged indefinitely,
but the ferment does not attack the
abrine when the anti-ferment is present
Thus It is not the living tissues
which resist digestion, but the Juices
which impregnate them and which they
secrete.
