Oscar Fritrringer was born at Lehighton, Carbon Co.. Penna., on the Ist day of April, 1862. Shortly after , tils birth his mother presented him unto the Lord in holy baptism. His father was at that time serving his | country as a soldier in the army. In his youth Mr. Fritzinger received care-1 i ful Christian training. He was confirmed and received into church mem- ■ bership on the 20th day of March 11880. He took an active part in church work and served his home congregation as Sunday school superintendent and also as a deacon. During tlie long

weary days of his sickness, religion was a service of comfort and encourugement to him. He loved to have some one read to him frbni an old book of devotions which was used in the home of his childhood. He also found much consolation in familiar Christian hymns. In 1880 he came to Decatur, Ind., and on tlie 25 of October. 1884 lie was I united in holy wedlock to Martha Dutscher. This happy union was blessed with four children, one of which died in early infancy. About 11 years ago he, with his family moved on a farm in Root township, but lie constantly followed his trade as carpenter even here. About two years ago his health began to fail. His condition even under the best of care and treatment grew constantly worse. His wife and children furnished him with every comfort possible. Three sisters and one brother also helped to comfort him during the trying days of his suffering. But he grew gradually weaker and sank over into death at 12:30 o'clock on Tuesday Aug. 18, 1914. He attained to the age of 52 years, 4 months and 17 days. Deeply grieved over bis departure are his wife, 3 sons, 3 grandchildren. 4 sisters, 2 brothers and other relatives and many friends. Vet must we part, and. parting, weep; What else has earth for us in store? Our farwell pangs, how sharp and I deep! Our farewell words, how sad and sore! Yet shall we meet again in peace, To sing the song of festal joy, Where more shall bid our gladness cease, And none our fellowship destroy. ENGLAND IS FEARING ATTACK FROM AIRSHIPS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) through Belgium and show concern. Namur has been isolated but not subdued and the German army has passed around it advancing on each side of ,the river Meuse. Siege guns are I trained on the Namur fort. A despatch says that Karl Dadeker. guide , book publisher, has been killed in Belgium while in action. Tlie Times military expert says: “There is no doubt that a big battle is raging and on its outcome depends everything. If tlie Germans gain the advantage, the allied army must fall back to its second defence before Faris. If tlie all ied army wins the Germans must re 1 treat in the face of the fire from the Namur and Liege forts.

(By Henry Wood) Rome—Miss Anna Sarto, sister of the late Pope Pius X, has entirely recovered today from the first shock following her brother’s death. She had been suffering much from the strain. Astonishment was expressed here when it became known that a report of her death had been circulated in America. She received many callers’today and acted for the family of the Pontiff. The death of Miss Sarto was announced through the Associated Press and the announcement was published in all the Friday morning papers using that service. The announcement was false and without foundation. This was of interest in connection with the claims of accuracy now being circulated by the Associated Press in an effort to explain why by a margin of eight hours, the United Press preceded them with the message of the PoPe's death.—W. W. HAWKINS. o SPENCER WISHART KILLED. (United Press Service.) Elgin. 111., Aug. 22.—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Spencer Wishart, New York millionaire auto driver, died in a local hospital this afternoon from injuries received in the Elgin National [Trophy race today. Wisbart was injured when his Mercer ear in which ,he was leading the race, turned turtle on the back stretch in the eleventh lap. Mrs. Louise McGown Wishart, formerly of Indianapolis, was in the stand and hurried to her husband's side Wishart sustained a broken leg and internal injuries. o- —— Democrat Wants Ads Pay.

DUTCH TOURISTS I] (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) know no better, und mostly among the men, I find forget their manners and become too familiar.” When asked whether the American woman's idea for style prevailed in Holland, Miss Wilhelmina replied: "Women are women any place, In Hi.iland we get the styles from Paris long before they come to the United States and there only tlie peasants wear the dress we are wearing now, the wealthier people wearing tlie finest of clothing the same as in your country.” j With his sister, the lieutenant had | I planned to leave the United States lor [the Dutch East Indies soon, but the present European struggle forced them to alter their plans and decide to spend more time in America. "1 don’t think that Holland will become involved in war, but if site does 1 will return, if I can get a vessel home. "I made my living in France by fencing?* and to stand up and fight with a sword wouldn't lie so bad. but 1 would hate to stand up before a machine gun,” said the lieutenant last night. "My sister lias a marvelous voice. I have not. I have no artistic ability, hut I have a brass-bound, boiletj riveted nerve,” said Lieutenant Nordwall. In addition to his nerve, the lieutenant is modest, despite the fact that he makes his living by lecturing in cities the country through which he passes. Because a Huntington theatre advertised his sister as Princess Wil- [ helmina, they canceled their engage-j ment. "We are only plain Dutch folk,” he; remarked, “ and the American people know there is but one Dutch princess and my sister was greatly embarrassed by mention of that sort.” o WANTED —Salesmen, local and traveling to reach every town in Adams Co.
