Due attention will ho given to tho wants of all, and everything in our lino will bo furnished to hnnj, or according to order of customers. Monmouth is the placo to buy goods, and "don't you forget it." IN MKMOIUAM. irrom the Ne'rt TlniK.J Aa waa aMiouuoed In our laat amoa, tha funeral Borvlooa of tha lata John W, (Iravva worn hvld lu tha opera houaa HumUty afternoon, at 2:80 o'clock, No veiuller 15, 1M1. In the ountur of tha hall atood neat iwmuineiit. Tha lower portion waa nearly whltn, while the upper portion waa blaek volvut. About till part of the monument were plaovd the three link, 0110 of which waa appropriately broken. Thla niouuimmt waa aur- nnimli'il by tho ehalra and pedeatala, ute., of tho order, and upon hla chair, for he waa an offloer greatly rMeotd by hla broUiera, hung tha official re- nulla of hla elation, worn ao often In Indite dutlea. , The lodge nureheil Into the hall at JiM 2M, and the choir anng ao appro priate hymn. Followlug came the oe emonlne of the order, which were very hupreaalva. Tbe rvapnoalva reading of the elinilln and lodge were beautiful Indeed. Then rone Captain J. J. W lu- ant and delivered aunie very well choaen remarkaof aytnpathy and con dolence and comfort to the frleude and mourner. Tbe following la thf ADioimt llitoTHKit Odd Kku-ow akd KitiKNiMi It la a and and aolemn event Unit call ua together Unlay. We art here to perform a funeral aervloe, and yet It litcka one very eaar-uUid element for a funeral we are denied tbe pour privilege of taking a butt look at the reiimluaof our departed brother. The tea, the great real lea, rwUtliwa, n-leut- Uw holit him In Ita elap and re fuma to yield him up, Itut If we could Ik ixrmltted to have hla remain lu re for Interment, we would have been re minded of the fnot that yeaterday, aa It were, be waa all activity, full of life and hn, but now he I but a lump of llfe Iiwh, helpleea, uaehna flay, and we auk oumdvea the qtieatlon, Whore la the Intelligence that once (teamed from hi loving eyea, and cauaed them to ahed tearaof aynithy, that moved hi lip towak kind Word, and prompted hla Iminl to t he Kirfornm line of good dmnla? Where la tlmt InvUlble, Intangible MHiiethltig, that we kuow exlat,' but cannot aee, and we cannot bury? Hut I would aay to the sorrowing, Ictus not think of our loved otic, whether burled beneath tbe clod of earth, or under the and tea wave; Ictu not think of them a being there, but think of them rather aa aoul dbon thndlefet free from the trial and cure of till earthly life and panaed on to a realm of eteruul reel. A few day ago I waa alttlng by the acft, watching the wave aa they rolled. Uou theahore lu endleaa prooemlon, and I waa watching the meu a they IhuwhI lu and out 011 the jetty, eugaged In their dally toll, and I thought what a.coiiKtant alruggle life waa, and grad ually my thought framed Into rhyme, (I will 11.1t call It poetry;) but a the thought neciu to fit thla occaalon,I will repeat them: Bitting by the ea ahore with Ita con- Htaiit etili'and flow, Watching the billow aa they awlfUy come and go, Watching '.he acablrdii aa they aoar above their cnt, Wouderlng If In Nature there la ever any rent. In the liiixy city where the noWy throng, 'Mid care audatrlfunnd turmoil, ilind- ly ruah along, Making life a itruggle, a burden at tho beet, CiiiMiugoue to wonder If Uiure'a ever any n-at. " In the alleut graveyard alttlng with the dead, : Where e'eu the ruse and lily aeem to dnxip their weary head, And the very bird keep quiet, all aecnilng to ntteat, That here, at lunat, doth Nature pro vide a perfect rest It would aeem uncle for mo, In thla community where our dead brother wnnao well kuown, to apenk of him In word of praise. HI evory-day life Hpenktt for hhn. You all knew him as au ludimtrloiiM, ateiuly young man, de voted to his fumlly and attentive to hla bimluent. Htaaeul In lx;li(ilf of hla fam ily 11 ml hla energy In preaalngthe work ItitriiHtcd to lit 111 , coat liliu hla life, and no one will any to-dny thntj. W.Oravea ever aent a man under hla ohtirge to a plnee of danger where he would not go hlniKclf. (e was Indua'rloua, he waa energetic, he waa honest, he waa brave, ami these are qualities that our young men Hhould keep In view, and strive to emulate. He ponacsaed another quality which all should possess, but which, I am sorry to say, all do not; he was kind and grateful to his parents. Yes, fath er, mother, you have met With a loss In deed. Y'ou have good cause to be borne down under a burden of grlof, He was us a stall' upon which you could lean In your declining years. His strong arm wus ever extended to hold you up, lent you should si umblo. He never did an act that dinned one grey hair to be added to your head or caused your eyes to shed an extra tear, and the thought should console you, that your boy waa one you could be proud of. You came Into tills world to prepare a way for him. He has passed Into the next to prepare a way for you, and for aught we know, he is waiting and keeping watch and ward over you, and Is still a living lufluenoe to comfort and guurd you from harm. And now I come to the most difficult part of this painful subject. I should try and say something to the bereaved widow, but It Is very difficult to ex press the fcellugs that apply to her. I can feel her loss and fully appreciate the shock tlmt she hua sustained, hav ing pnsHCil through a similar ordeal. I know how she awaits his coming and listens forthe sound of his foot- Children Cry for Pitcher's CastorlaJ ttep a tha shadow of evening gather around her borne. And I know now hard It b for her to realise that he will never oome to her again. And I know bow Iter heart la Oiled with angulah when her little boy In hto lunoeenoe shall aak, "Why don't pI but all I can aay to her Is, Your hus band ha flnlalied Ida life work and he has left you your to perform, left you heavy burden, more, peruana, ttian you M you can bear; but be can never help you more; tha world can belp you but little or do aught to console you In your great aorrow; Uod alone can help you. Try to be brave, then, and per. form the double duly which l left for y 00 end which your husband would gladly have shared could be have been permitted to do ao. You have a little boy to whom you will now bava to be both futber and mother, too young to even profit by the good example of hi father's life, only ao far as you may be able to teach It to him. Ktrtve to Iru pre upon blin the good kaaons that may be derived from It, and may be, above all else, retain that one great quality, a love and veneration for bl moUier, ao that In your declining year you may ee and kuow that Uod has bellied you by giving you a noble ion to lean upon. And In conclusion let me any that, wherever you may be, re member your husbaud was an Odd Fellow, and that thousands of good men are solemnly pledged to be your friends. Thla lodge will mlM him. II was an active member and earnest worker, the principal of "friendship, love, and truth," were Ingrained into his very aoul, and aa wt look upon the chair that he baa left vacant, and the broken link, we realise In part what a loa we have sustained, and we can hardly offer to the world a better example of what au Odd Fellow should be, than we find In tbe llfu aud character of J.

John McCarroll, rector of the Grace Episcopal church lu that city, for fA.Ooo salary a assistant rec tor In 1888 -9. The plaintiff was an ac complished ex-profetnorof language In that city and there is plenty of proof that be performed the services specified for the time mentioned In bis com plaint. When Interviewed on hi suit, and ou the kind of work be had done, the Itev. LenionUl sold: "I performed the menial work." "What do you mean by the mental work?" "I attended the funerals of poor peo ple and prayed by the bedside of poor, alek people. There la a woman at wbnaebousel pray, wherever there was an opportunity to pray, I wan there and went down on my knees." "Didn't Dr. McCarroll attend some of the funerals and pray with some of the sick?" "Ouly when they were rich aud there waa money In It," Lemoutals replied. ' To be sure this Is only oue side of tbe case, but It Is only one more Indication of the luxurious drift In all large and wealthy church establishments. This some spirit ba long permeated tbe great church centers of England, where bishops aud canon do the supe rior elegance on enormous aalarlee aud the poor curates attend to the menial' work. This means, of course, precisely as Mr. Lemontals puts It, praying with and ministering unto tbe the poor lambs of the flock, whose fleece Is not white and thlek euougb for the higher clericals to touch. The real secret la hidden in those words "where there was money lu It." In wealthy church establishments, pi ety's standard haa grown to be gold. To keep in touch with this stuudurd, the religious figurehead can.not mingle with the common herd of poverty found In the most gilt-edged parishes as a sort of "necessary evil." Hence tlio figureheads are Christians by dep uty, They can't afford to lose caste. They must hire a cheaper artlole for the menial work people who have not so much splendor aud respectability at stake. If the lowly Naxarene, In his fisher man's garments, should appear lu some of His elaborate congregations to-day, quite a number of His followers would decline an introduction. They can't take any risks. $polg m Chronicle. Mark Twain' Couruhhi. "Mark Twain's" wife waa a Miss Langdon, of Elmlra. When Murk first mot her he was not so distinguished as now. Her father was a Judge, and doubtless expected "family" ond social Importance in his son-in-law. Clemens, however, became Interested In v his daughter, aud after awhile proposed, Why Dr. Price's Baking Powder is Superior to all others. No great efforts are made by qther manufacturers to procure and use pure materials. It is true that one other company has the facilities, but Its greed and cupidity induced it in an evil hour to use ammonia, in order to swell its profits. Hence the Price Baking Powder Company stands alone in its fight for a pure baking powder. 1 No other article of human food receives greater care in its production, or has attained higher perfection. Dr. Price's Cream ia surely a perfect baking powder. Free from every taint of impurity. No other article used In the kitchen has so many steadfast friends among the hou' wives of America. but waa rejected. "Well" ba aald to the lady, "I didn't much belbm you'd have me, but I thought I'd try' AlUr awhile ho "tried" again, with Ummbm result, and then remarked with hla cel ebrated drawl: "I think a great daml more of you than if you'd bava said 'yea,' but it'a hard to bear."
