AT THE FARRAR HOME. Rev. F. G. Browne conducted the funeral of Mrs.

Qllie White at 3 o'clock Tuesday. Pall bearers were L. A. Powell, G. B.

Whltestlne, Will Grim, F. S. Plasterer R. C. Beaver and R.

G. MitchelLThe following is an obituary of the deceased: Mrs. Ollie Melvlna White was born in Clark county, Ohio, Dec. 20, 1868. fn 1880 3he removed with her parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Charles Farrar, to Hunt- ngton, Ind. She was converted and joined the M. E. church in 1886, and remained a faithful christian until death.

In 1891, during revival services conducted by Rev. Joseph Smith Huntington, she received the bles sing of sanctification, after which her faith was made stronger in the saving power of-herJSavlor. May -11, 1892, she was joined in marriage to Rev. M. White who was studying for the ministry at Garrett Biblcal EvanBton, 111.

During the winter of 1892-1893, Mr. White's health became mpaired by the severe climate on the lake shore when he was compelled to eave college. From Evanston Mrs. White accom panied her husband to Marietta, where she lived until the spring of 1893. Mr.

White's health being so much improved he accepted a charge in northwest Missouri in the Missouri conference of the M. E. church, which he supplied for one year. Mr. White's health again being impaired he, with his wife and child, returned to Indiana.

On July 15th, their darling babe Ruby was taken from them. Only four weeks ago they removed to Mr. White's former home in Warren county, where, after two short weeks, Mrs. White became ill with malaria. After keeping her bed for two weeks the at tending physician assured her speedy recovery, and apparently every symptom of fatal disease had disappeared until suddenly she was taken with- a congeBti velmluTwhlclf resulted lifter death.

Mrs. White was conscious until the last Her death was triumphant. "I want you to see," she said, "how a christian can die. Tell mother I lived in peace and in her faith. Don't weep for me," she saidjo herjorrowlng husband, "Jesus has called me and I must go," then her face became al most angelic.

"Look," she said, "there is little Ruby and Lizzie and brother Fred and father White. Glory! Glory!" Then falling asleep she passed away. She was ever an efficient worker in the service of her Master. Her consistent christian life was an exhortation for others to love God. Her triumphantdeath verified the promise ofHhe Master to the faithful, to be present in the hour of death.

The remains were accompanied to this city by the sorrowing husband, Mrs Levi Hawkins and F. M. Maddox, sister and uncle of Mr, White, Attempted Burglary. Mrs. Ed Quick was awakened from her slumbers Sunday morning by some one attempting to force an entrance into her house.

It was about 3 o'clock and Mrs. Quick arose thinking it was her husband. Mr. Quick is an Erie conductor and bis wife supposed he was returning from a trip on the road, so she arose to admit him. She could hear the man working at the door-with a- key Just- at this point Borne one came up the street and the intruder fled.

By looking from her apartment, in the second story of the house, she could see the man was rather tall and wore a light suit of clothes. After the pedestrian had passed on up the Btreet, the man returned and resumed his operations at the door. A noise made by Mrs. Quick thoroughly frightened him and he ran up the Btreet as fast as his legs would carry him. He dlQ not return a third time.

Had not the man been frightened away the first time he attempted to get into the house he would have been admitted by Mrs, Quick and it is hard to tell what would have been the next step taken. DELICATESSEN! SAUERKRAUT IS LUXURY, NOT FOR THE A Farmer Who Put t'p Six Hundred Barrel Goes II anting; a Market The Stores Make No Sales and Be fan to Bay Mo Work, No Kraut. I have recently been down to West Virginia, where the poople are much troubled over the prospect of free iron and freo coal, because these are about the two largest industries in that Dem ocratic state. I find that the very fear of free trade has hurt West in more ways than one. Even the farmers have felt it I had a valuable conversation with one farmer, who has been- a lifelong Democrat, which will be of interest to farmers elsewhere.

I first met him on the train as he was returning home after trying to sell his products. My new found friend owns a large farm along the Ohio river and raises oabbages to make kraut. I asked him 'where he usually sold it "My market has always been in Pitts burg, said the farmer. "I have been in this business for 10 years and sold 1804. my kraut every year for 6 a barrel and with no trouble.

That paid me well. "How much did you get for it this year?" I naturally asked. "Well, "he said, "last fall I had a good crop of cabbages and put up 700 barrels of kraut, which I expected would bring me in $4, 200. I wrote to the firm iu-Pittsburgthat always -bought my kraut for their prices, and they wrote back and said they could not give me more than $4 a bn "Why, that meant $1,400 less than usual," I said. "Yes.

They said they had no confidence in this government, and things were pretty quiet in Pittsburg, and they could not do any hotter. This got me mad because I was a good Democrat and helped elect this government, so I up and wrote them that I didn't have to take their $4 anyhow, but would wait a bit "Did they have to come to you for it afterward?" I asked. "Well," said the cabbage grower, "I waited a bit and looked around, but didn't see any buyers, so I wrote them I would take their $4. You bet I hated to have to come to their terms. "So you sold it, then, for $1,400 less than you usually got?" I asked.

"I'm if I did!" he answered, with a thump of his fist on the seat in front of him that made a passenger sitting on it jump up as if he had been shot "No, sir," he continued. "Those fellows then were so doggone mean that they wrote back and told me they couldn't take it at any price; that the men who usually bought kraut from them were out of work and had no money to buy anything. "That must have made you feel mad?" I suggested sympathizingly. "Mad I Mad wasn't in it I cursed around bo that nobody came near me for a month. I felt they were just guying me because they knew I was a good Democrat, and I had never had any trouble with them before in all the 10 years we did business together.

You bet I was mad." -HWhat-dicL you- do then?" was my next question. "Well, sir, I made up my mind that they should see I could sell kraut if they couldn't, and good kraut it was too. I started out then in earnest to hunt a market" "Where did you sell it, after all?" "Well, sir, I have been hunting a market ever since. I am just come now from Cincinnati after being away two weeks on my last trip, and I'll be if I can find a living soul anywhere who wants to buy one single barrel of kraut or of anything else. "That seems too bad.

I can hardly believe it, I said earnestly. "Yes, sir, it's true. I've tried my hardest so as not to let those Pittsburg fellows see I was beaten. But everywhere I went it's the same answer, 'Men not at work, so no sale for anything. For 10 years I had no trouble, but under this Demooratia government MUuf V' I which I helped to elect, I've lost the sale of 700 barrels of kraut that ought to have brought me $4, 200.

are you going to do about it?" I said, with interest "Do? Do?" he answered. only one thing to do, and that is to turn these fellows ont I'm a Republican now. No more Democrats for me, I'm for protection. No more free trade for me. This free trade talk has cost me $4,200, and I'm working hard now for the Republicans, sir, and we Republicans expect to carry, this state of West Virginia by a majority of 15,000 or 000, and, by we'll do it B.

Thinken. Sisterville, W. Va. THIRTY-THREE YEAR MARVELS. Tet Mot So Marvelous, Because We Were Prospering Under Protection.

There is much to study in the accompanying table. It could be extended indefinitely, but enough has been given to show our marvelous growth in 33 years. Our population has little more than doubled, yet our wealth has increased more than fourfold. Our manufactures have increased more than sixfold, our i860. 1893.

Population 31,443.321 66,048.000 Wealth $16,159,610,008 $73,665,000,000 Wealth per capita. 614 1,003 Savings 149,277,504 1,785,150.967 Savings per capita. 4.75 26.63 Manufactures 1,885.861,676 11,450,276,000 Wages 378.878,906 2,600,350,000 Farm values 6,645,04.5.007 14,150.500,000 Foreign 687.102,176 1,714,064,116 foreign trade has about trebled and our farm values more than doubled. But it is in wages and savings that the greatest advance is shown, and where do we ever see the fruits of protection that we do not see increased wages and savngs? In the last generation the wages of our people have increased more than sevenfold aud our savings more than twelvefold, and during the same time we have paid off nearly $2,000,000,000 of national debt In 1860 our exports amounted to $333,570,057, in 1892 to $1,030,278,148, and yet, enormous as is our foreign trade, it is small indeed compared with our domestic trade, which last year was estimated to be about $60,000,000,000. Now we are asked to give up this grand home market in the hopes of increasing our foreign sales by a few millions.

We are asked to accept half or quarter of these wages. We are asked to draw out these savings and buy the products of other lands. We are asked to sacrifice these manufactures and farms to impoverish ourselves as we did just before the era of protection began. If the McKinley bill is changed for one with lower duties, we shall lose mora in a decade than we have won in a generation. What a different set of figures the 1900 column would show after seven years of free tradel It cannot last more than seven years at the longest RICHARD COBDEN A FALSIFIER.

Wltbont Protection England Cannot Hold Her Own. It is astounding to note how falsified are all the predictions of Richard Cobden and how true, in only 60 years, have been the statements unheeded at the time that the days would come when Englishmen would have to submit to German wages, German hours of labor, German food, or to leave their land of birth and seek for fair remuneration in lands where-protection to native labor was in force, and the bone, sinew and capital of man was not handicapped by pauper labor. Do not all our ablest statesmen of both political parties, our bankers, our merchants, our manufacturers concur with our landlords and farmers that without protection, wisely and carefully sustained, England cannot hold her own against all "the civilized worlds Driven, ont of, all "civilized markets," the search for new markets among the uncivilized millions of Africa, who only use three yards per annum of calico to cover their loins, will not replace the loss of our European, American, Indian, Chinese and Japanese customers. Cor. Manchester Courier.

Tariff Reform. Free Trade Means More Taxes. Out of our total imports in 1893 under protection, 66.80 per cent were free of duty. A year later, under the threat of -free trade, only 52.60 per cent were free goods, a decrease of 8. 70 per cent in a single year.

Thus free trade means more customs duties than protection, because we buy more foreign stuff and make less at home. Protection Means Business. During 83 years of protection 1860-93 the annual value of the manufactures in the United States increased by $9,665,000,000. Is not this enormous growth, with its consequent inorease in the employment of labor, a satisfactory proof that protection is a good thing for the country? Let well alone. Poor Girl! The vindication of all the United States senators from the charges of speculating in sugar stookB must make the situation rather embarrassing for Senator MoPherson's hired girl Milwaukee Sentinel.
