JACOB J. TODD. 'Wie death of the Hon. Jacob J. 1 odd of Bluffton, was learned with i regrot by his many friends and acquaintances in this city. The funeral w hich occurred at one o’clock yesterterday, was attended by many members of the Adams countv bar and the Masonic fraternity. From the Bluffton Banner we credit the following: • slln day at one o'clock Jacob J rodd ceased to live. After a long period of intense suffering he was mercifully released and his spirit pass ed to his Maker. Although Mr. Todd s health had been such for near ly two years that it was thought that his end was near, yet the announcement produced a great shock upon the community which knew him so! ''ell. He had been for years so well known a personage in our city and i country that it is difficult to realize that he is no more in the haunts in which he had Iwn for years such a busy man. The disease which had fastened its unrelenting hand upon him nearly two years ago and com polled him to abandon his office and give up all thought of business slowly but surely brought him down, and resisted all that skill or love could do to save its victim from death. Throughout all this time of intense suffering he was wonderfully patient, and preserved to the last hour of consciousness that air of cheerfulness for which lie was so well known. Although racked with suffering most intense in its character, which finally triumphed over his physical nature, yet he had through faith in Christ a victory over the last enemy. There never was a moment when he was not upheld and sustained by an unfaltering trust in God. At a meeting of the bar association the following resolutions were adopted: To the members of the Ad ams County Bar Association. The undersigned, your committee to whom was referred the matter of drafting resolutions of sympathy on account of the death of Hon. Jacob. J. Tood, a worthy member of this and the Wells county bars, beg leave to submit the following' preamble and resolutions: \\ hereas, we have learned with profound regret and deepest sorrow of the death of our esteemed brother lawyer, Hon. Jacob J. Todd, at his home in Bluffton, Indiana, on Sunday, May 13, 1900. Therefore be it resolved, that in the death of Brother I odd the bar of Indiana has lost a valuable and worthy member, the profession a shining light, the state a worthy citizen, his family a kind and indulgent father and the community a benefactor. Be it further resolved that the bar of Adams countv, as a token of respect for our beloved brother, attend the funeral in a body. Be it further resolved that a page of the order book of the Adams circuit court be dedicated as a memorial page and that these resolutions lie spread of record thereon. Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be tendered the family of our beloved brother through the Wells county bar. Richard K. Erwin, Paul G. Hooper, A. P.

NAPOLEON AT ST. HELENA. Hlm Views on the Precautions Taken to Prevent His I v.-ape, One of the extracts from Dr. O’Meara’s St. Helena diary In The Century records Napoleon’s views on the precautions taken to prevent his escape. He spoke anew about escaping and said Hint if he was inclined to try it, which he was not, there were 05 chances in 100 against ids effecting It. “But,” said he, “this jailer every week imposes new and vexatious restrictions upon me, just as if I was in a place where I had nothing to do but to step into a boat and be away. When I was al Elba, it was different. It is true that while one lives there is a chance of escape. Although ironed and chained down, Inclosed in a ceil of stone and every human precaution taken against a possibility of it,still there is a chance of escape, and the only way to prevent it is to put me to death. "This Is the only sure way. Let him put me to death, and all uneasiness on the part of the European powers, Lord Castlereagli himself and bis government will cease. No more expense then; no more squadrons to watch me or poor soldiers, fatigued to death with pickets and guards or harassed with carrying burdens up those precipices. I am sure*tb*se poor devils have reason to hate me and wish my death. They must, however, be conscious that tlie fatiguing duties imposed upon them are unnecessary sid as the sight of the island must convince every one but a suspicious cogllone that escape from it was nearly impossible unless, as I have said before, that while there is life there Is a chance, If attempted. “Where could I go to, allowing that 1 got out of the i»land? Every place I could arrive at I would find enemies to seize me. This governor’s conduct will soon be known in England and will not procure him any credit there. Those officers all will write an account of the unnecessary rigor with which I am treated and their oninimi of it The newspapers will be full of it.” A FEMININE FAILING. Difficulty Many nt the Sex Have In Telling tllnht From Lett. “I saw by a paper last week that a colored tmman was excluded from testifying in court because she didn’t know her right hand from her left and was therefore esteemed too Ignorant for her evidence to be of any value,” sai«| an observant nan yesterday. “Now, do you know I don’t believe one woman out of six knows her right hand from her left without stopping to consider the matter. “1 was standing in the foyer of a theater the other day at a matinee watching the audience, mostly feminine, as it passed in. Well, each maid handed her check to the usher, and he called out ‘First door to the right’ or ‘Second door to the left.’ ns the case might lie. Witli hardly an exception those girls turned in the wrong direction: then they’d pause to consider, exclaim. ‘We’re going the wrong way!’ and skurry back again. “This happened so often that I spoke to the usher about it. “ ‘They always do It,’ he replied laconically. ’I usually point so they’ll know the way. but I’ve neglected to do that today. They’re all right if they stop to think, but they never do think.’ “I myself know an Intelligent young woman who has to make a little motion as if she were writing with both bands before she can determine the right one, and she declares that all her acquaintances are affected in like manner, so perhaps this is a general feminine failing, and the colored witness was unjustly excluded.” — Baltimore News. Saved the Hank’s Money. “Whenever 1 buy anything,” once said Bussell Sage in telling the story, “I make it a rule to talk with the salesman. I am a member of a great many different boards of directors in a great many lines of investment, and I often find this information of great service. Some time ago I went into a large clothing store to buy a suit of clothes at " low price that I had jeen advertised. 1 bought the clothe* for sl4. 1 think, and in talking with the clerk I found the lot had been sent to his store from a big manufacturing concern to be sold on commission. I got them for less than cost. Now, I have kept a general store and understand that business, and there is no money in that sort of thing. * "A few weeks afterward this manufacturing concern applied to one of the banks I am connected witli for a large loan. Their credit was apparently all right, but on the strength of what I hud learued I held up that loan, and a short time later the concern failed."— Saturday Evening Post Montana Sapphires. There are In Montana sapphires of beauty and value, but they have never been as systematically worked as have been the sapphires of the orient. True, they are light In color, but they have more brilliancy than the Asian sapphires and often exhibit diclwrlsm, or double color, under different lights. The supposition that a sapphire should be dark blue Is possibly responsible for the slowness of their acceptance In the market, but as a matter of fact sapphires are not of necessity blue; they are green, yellow, purple, white, and when they are red we call them rubies, for the ruby and sapphire are Identically the same, save for n fraction of a [>er cent of coloring matter.—Brooklyn Eagle. Different Point* of View. Mr. Crowells—What! You want a m-w bonnet? Why, I think the one you have Is very becoming. Mr*. Crowells—Yes. and so do the neighbor*. They think It Is becoming very ancient and decrepit.—Chicago News.
