PRISCILLA LEAM1NG HUGHES it On the morning of June 29th, Mrs. "• Priscilla L. Hughes, after an iilness of R six months, died at tbe age of ninetyfive years and five months, at the home of her son, L. Klswortii Hughes, at Cold , Spring. Aire. Hughes was born at Rio Grande, - January 20, 1820, and was the widow of >. Daniel B. Hughes, a highly esteemed j- and prominent citizen of Cold Spring, to b whom she was united in marriage in j 1*40, whose liappy life together for forty „ emht years was terminated- 4yr her be- ( Imwd husbands death, June T( 1888. ' n The general interest felt by all the e neighbors and friends tof Airs. Hughes, . in her 'long, active and good life, with its many suggestive and helpful lessons, .. would require, much more space than, is . usually allotted to an obituary . Among the good -women of the com- 1 nuinity, Airs. Hbglies' life, because of j its great length .and most cheerful and' exemplary christian character, was I remarkable. Uniting with tbe Taber- ' nacle Methodist Episcopal Church at the , age of sixteen, she has been a member of it seventy-nine years. And the same earnest devotion to her religious duties with"wj)ich she entered upon her christian life she steadily maintained through all these years. What must have been the influence she was privileged to exert upon three generations in all her efforts to faithfully serve 0ter Savior! She was more than a good christian and faithful wife. She was a good mother to a large family, and if any one in the world deserves our praise it is a good mother with all her loving sacrificed and ceaseless care and anxiety for her children and their children to the very and of life. Alra. . Hughes retained all her faculties unimpaired to the last, and very frequently loved to acknowledge howgood the Lord was to her in preserving these, and good health, sparing her from disease and great Buffering. Indeed, she was a fine example of a cheerful christian. With an abiding trust In her heavenly Father, she had early learned that to worry over unavoidable troubles only make us sad and unhappy and can do no good. Therefore possessed with the secret M)f a happy 'life, as afflictions came- into her own family or those of her friends, she knew how to meet them and resolve the Providences of God and find consolation and comfort in them. Therefore, it was during her increasing | weakness and weariness during her long ( illness, she was never heard to murmur | , or complain. This has been the man- j ner of her life. Always grateful and j happy in 8|H-aking of tlie constant kind- ! in-ss and comfort of her home, of her dutiful son and daughter . And spoke!, how good and attentive all her children j have ever been to her. She was proud of them in their great love and tender , anxieties, for her in her declining years. ! j Yet as much as she enjoyed her loved ' j ones and friends here, and surviving all at a family of eleven children, she longed . to be with her Savior and loved ones j in Heaven, and would say how glorious . "to go asleep here and wake up in . Heaven." At last in the Lord's own! time, for which she had been anxiously waiting, she was permitted, without a ' ( struggle, as peacefully and gloriously as j the setting sun to pass into "the gates j ; f jar," into her heavenly home . j J Those surviving their mother are i Mrs. Silas Matthews, Mrs. Samuel I Townsend, Mrs. John C. Bate, Aire. Edwin J. Cummings and Mr. Learning _ Ela worth Hughes. j ^ The funeral services from her lately residence were conducted by her pastor, j . Mr .

SECOND DAY MARYLAND BAR (Contiaued from First page.) tbe torn*' of our government or its sdmiiustratiok* Others are animated by - mujjves- political expediency, jprsonal profit through the sale of ' their 5 vh-ws. iq tbe "press or on the platform, a general lioetili|(y to all forms of i stable and organized government, and tlie. iike. The Constitution and courts thi-refort" have' ben made in recent years, _ th e_ object of visulent and at times indecent attack, not by the "people at all, but by self-appointed apostles of socalled progress, who believe that what- ! «-ver is, Is bad, and whatever is not, is Tgiod. 1 By the "judicial recall" it is hoped to place the -courts so far at the mercy of -the populace, that in tbe determination of the litigation which cornea before them, their first consideration will be not what slumld J»e .just, the legal and the right derision of the, matter, but' what will be the popular decision of it. ' (The courts are- not the enemies, but the i friends of progress, but of a same and j wise progress effected in an orderly manner and under the forms of estab- ! lished. law. j At the evening session Afr. Catonjj • spoke in part as follows: I "There is a prevailing nervous manon the part of our people to want | ' passed on every conceivable subj as the only panacea for the ills of the body politic. The economic quea- | 1 1 ions which confront the people to-day j cannot be worked out through Jegisla- , It ure enactment, neither can prosperity, I material development and progress be i legislated into being. Notwithstanding the fact that recourse, to legislation : upon many of the questions agitating

the public mind has proven abortive, and 80 has exposed the fallacy of recourse to this remedy, there still remains this nervous mania clamoring for law — for more and more law. If it were not for 85 the destructive agencies at work on tlie mi other side of the waters, furnishing em(Mi ployment for the productive" agencies on | this side, it would be very difficult to 85 i tell what would have been the result of INI this peculiar and serious malady. This' {mania of our American people, is the | main hindram-c to uniform and permanent laws in our states, on Subjects | which vitally foncern all the people. We no ! need men imbued with that incontrovertible doctrine of republican governHilmeig and institutions. That the least | j governed ia the best governed people', j [ This country is too large and its inter- ]• K) ests too varied to afford any room- in j Nl our legislative bodies for the demagogue, , or the professional ]mlitieian. A reduc- ; , )t ion of the number of representations | in our li-gislative bodies is a much need- j 18 ed reform, and one that would bring , about h-gislation along broader and ; wiser lines. As this would logically re-,, suit in a large constituency for each rep- j 10 n-sentation, I would advocate larger com pensation, in order that they may de- j vote more time to the interests of the j pi-ople they represent. While this mania < for legislation has resulted in some good trad wholesome laws, it has often manifested itself in an attack upon cor- ' j [•orations, unsettling business conditions, | and often indicting injury on innocent 8 stockholders, who have invested their j earnings. 1 believe that the rouserva0 tive thought of our people is becoming 1 0 very firmly impressed with the idea ; that the pendulum of legislative regu- j has swung far enough, if not too 0 Aluny sins have been committed ' 1 - through the interpretation of tbe Con - ( " 8 stitution, giving Congress the power to | legislate, concerning interstate com- j vmerce. Aluch of the speech was taken j j1 - up with a plea for greater uniformity of . laws on gueli vital subject* as divorce, j

■ marriage, child labor, cold storage and j workmen's compensation. DO YOU WANT A FARM? There are now several hundred farms jopen to homestead entry on the Government irrigation project)! which the bomeseeker would do well to investigate. In the arid region tbe Government has spent a hundred million dollars in irrigation system*- More, than 800,000 , acres are now receiving water from the Government ditches, and there are still several hundred choice farms awaiting the practical farmer. These farms are free, but the law requires settlers to pay their share of building the irrigation system, the money to be placed again in the Reclamation • jund lor the building of other irrigation works; and they must also pay their portion sf the operation and maintenance cost. A practical farmer with If ram 81,500 to 03,000 should be able to ( jiequire one of these farms and put.it jn successful cultivation. Under tlie existing law settlers are allowed 20 yea. s in which to pay for their wat.w right, ' jnd no interest is required on deferred , payments. The Statistician of the U. S Reclamation Service, Waahingt "i, D.
