MURDER BY VBLLISTAS
Miguel A. Long, of Jefferson
Medical College, Hears of
Relative's Death on Ranch
in Coahuila
WOULD JOIN U. S. ARMY
Ono youth In Philadelphia has a par
tlcular reason for hoping that tho pun
Hlvo expedition of tho United Stntes army
to tnko Villa dead or allvo will bo success
ful. Tho young mnn's tinelo was shot
dead by n Villa band on n ranch 100
mites south of Knglo" Pass, Tex., last
Tuesday. Word of tho murder Just
leached him. Miguel A. long, of 1018
Walnut street, a freshman nt tho Jefferson
Medical College, Is tho relative of Villa's
victim. Ho would llko to Join tho expedi
tion ngnlnst Villa himself, ho says.
David T.ong, 21 yenrs old, owner of a
rnnch of 200,000 acres near the Han Itnsa
Mountains, In Coahuila, was killed with
threo shots through the head by a linnet
of Villa followers, who demanded horses
nnd cnttlo from Loqg's ranch, according
to tho word thnt has reached his nephew.
The nephow, his fnther and the dead man
nro nil descended from Dr. John Long,
who lived In Philadelphia 00 years ngo
nnd later settled In Mexico.
Word of tho murder reached tho Jef
ferson College student In a letter from
his mother, Mrs. Juan Long, who has
lived In Unfile Pass, Tor , for tho past
threo years, slnco condition's In Mexico
grew chaotic.
"They wanted horses and cattle. I
haven't henrd tho details yet, hut I know
my undo was not the kind tn glvo up
without a fight. All tho messenger who
brought the s.id news tn me knew wan
that tho Villa men had shot my undo
threo times In tho bend nnd killed him. I
hopo they get Villa soon. No ono Is snfo
whllo ho Is froe. I'm no wnrrlhr, but I'd
llko to go down there and got him my
self." "My undo returned to his ranch, tho
Itosltn, only a month ngo," Long snld
today. "Ho had been In Texas, but when
It seemed tho Htnto of Coahuila hnd
quieted down ho decided to go back. Wo
all thought ho wan safe until Saturday,
when a messenger from tho rnnch enmo to
Kaglo Pass, where, my fnther Is a phy
sician, and reported that a Villa band hnd
rnldcd tho ranch."
David Long Is tho second of young
Long's relatives to dlo In tho Mexican
revolution. A year ago, his mother's
brother, Oastcncs Gujardo, who was a
major In Hucrta's army, wan killed by tho
Cnrranzn troops who had been Instructed
to capture, him.

In Boston ho originated a plan thnt

beforo tho day of tho International Cor
respondence School, ho established a homo
study course, using tho mails In very
much tho s.imo way as tho I. C. S. docs
today. In 1892 ho nccepted an offer from
Droxct Instltuta nnd enmo to this city.
Ho took chnrgo of tho commerclnl nnd

Ho also developed his homo study I dm.

ous newspapers, contributing dally to tho
Chicago Itecord-IIcrald.
Mr. Eaton wns formerly n member of
tho Franklin Inn nnd Poor Illchnrd Clubs
here, but ho spent much of his tlmo nt
home, and nt tho tlmo of his dcatli was
not connected with either of them. Ho
seldom made his appearanco In public,
but entcrtnlncd prominent literary men
nt his homo. Ho was a contributor to
tho Outlook and other magazines.
About 10 yenrs ngo Mr. Katon gained
considerable publicity ns secretary of

tion through tho mnncr In which ho con
ducted this investigation.
Mr, Katon mado considerable money
through syndicating tho Teddy Bear Jin

MARRIAGE A HOLY BOND
TOO LIGHTLY REGARDED
Continued from Pose Onu
conception of marriage should be showed
to tho world by tho followers of Jesus, ho
Bald.
'This teaching Is' opposed to all falsa
doctrines, and the number of theso Is
legion," ha continued. 'These assumptions
and presumptions, carried to their con
sistent conclusion, not only destroy the
family, but doing so unchrtstlanlzo the
entire social fabric, dethrone God and
proclaim atheism,
The obligations of marriage can be
satisfied only when begun and continued
In prayer and with patience and the bless
ing of the Adorablo Trinity. At the heart
of tho world stands the marriage altar,
nnd at this altar stands Jesus to give His
peace and grant His prosperity. All hus
bands and wives may well pray the prayer
of the Breton fisherman, 'Keep me, O aod,
for my boat Is small and the ocean Is
so wide,'"

Perry Clothes
C Therefore, the only
thing in common be
tween them and all other
Suits of clothes are the
woolens. In passing, we
might remark, that we
pick our woolens per
sonally all wool, of
course r e-examine
every yard of them, cold
water shrink them our
selves, and O. K. them
for quality and color be
fore we stick our shears
into them.
C As cut, tailored, fin

clothes radiate a dis
tinction of style, a
character of workman
ship which bear the in
delible stamp of Ferry's.
