Death of Mrs. L. M. Cobb.
Lissie M. Cobb, daughter of Samuel
and Martha (Hucklln) Sinclair, died of
angina pectoris, in New York City, Feb
ruary 28th, 1905.
Her ancestors came to Exeter, N. II. ,
from Caithness, Sco'.land. in 1030, and in
each generation were public spirited citi
zens, holding positions of trust in local
affairs. Her grandfather, with his fathor
and tbreo uncles, sorved their country
during the entire Revolutionary war,
wintering with Washington at Valley
Forgo. After the revolution her grand
father with his fiinfly of eighteen chil
dren went as piouoers into western New
York, settling what is now Siuclairville,
Chautauqua county.
Mrs. Cobb was born at Gerry, Chau
tauqua county, November 10th, 18:30. At
the ago of twelve years, her father dying,
she went to New York, making her home
with her brothor, Samuel Sinclair, for
many years publisher of tho New York
Tribune. In 18.59 she married Theodore
Barrett Cobb, and In 1808 they moved to
Tionesta, Pa,, which was her home until
181)1. After the death of her husband she
went to live with her dsughtor, Mrs.
Thomas D. Dunn in West Chester, Pa.,
going with her, to New York In 1903,
where the end came.
Mrs. Cobb united with the Methodist
Episcopal church in Tionesta in 1879, but
upoa removal to West Chester presented
her letter to the First Presbyterian church
there that she might be with ber daugh
ter's family.
She was one of tho organizers of the
Tionesta W. C. T. U., and an active
worker in tho organization in Forest or
Chester county as long as her health per
mitted. She was a Daughter of the
American Revolution, being Treasurer
of the Chester county 'Chapter for many
years, and a valued member of the New
Century Club of West Chester.
Gifted with a broad mind, a keen sense
of humor, a loving heart, and an ener
getic spirit, a faithful, loyal Christian,
hers was a beautiful life, well spent, aud
her influence can never be forgotten by
the many who knew and loved ber here.
The funeral was bold in Tionesta on
Friday, the remains, accompanied by her
daughter, and granddaughter, Mrs. Dourl
and Miss Rachol, and Mrs. L. R. Freo'
man, of Warren, a particular friend' of
the lainily, arriving here on the eleven
o'clock train. Short but beautiful ser
vices were conducted in thn Metho
dist Episcopal church by Rev. W. O.
Calhoun, assisted by Rev. Dr. Slonaker
and the M. E. church choir, after which
all that was mortal of this gifted woman
was laid to rest in Riverside 4metery,
beside those of her husband and infant
son. ''
Tho Cow vs. The lien.
I don't believe In these petty chicken
shows. I have one ben and four roosters
and don't get any eggs. I don't believe
in a man becoming over-balanced with
the "hen-pecked race." Trot out your
cows! I have a cow seven years old aud
she's the mother of eight cal yes. She's
the mother of two as pretty heifer calves
as you ever looked upon. Come and ace
'em. No charges. Men that will follow
the "hen pocked race" remind me of the
man that was "hen-bearted, with no
soul." Trot out your cow!
Geo. Matha, German Hill.
Now there's sense for you, to our no
tion. Our friend George comes mighty
close to billing the nail on the head.
With a good cow that will yield up a nice
batch of pure, frKh luilk every morning
and evening thore'a a chance for the cook
to do something. A hundred and one
things of the most palatable sort may be
prepared In the culinary art if the milk
Bupply holds up, as every good house
bolder will toll you. Ttue, you want an
egg or two now aud then, but how are
you going to gel it with this new-fangled
fancy chicken craze so rampant, keeping
the price up to anywhere from 25 cents to
fj.OO per 13? Of course, It Is not expected
that the egg market is going to be greatly
glutted with George's way of going at it
four roosters to one hen but that Is
neitlior here nor there, and the prepon
derance of roosters over hens is not al
ways so large as that in the average ben
cry. Nevertheless, the price of hen fruit
is forever teuding toward the higher
mark, and such being the case, where are
our egg-nogs finally to come from? Aud,
speaking of egg-nogs, reminds us that
there's where the cow comes in again, for
without the milk your "nog" is flat as
dish-water and never, never will touch
the spot. To be sure, there's more than
eggs and milk needed to make a good
"nog," but the other two ingredients
Buunr and well, "sugar," are always to
be had at tho regular price, if you've got
the price. Sure! Give the cow a chauce
along with the hen.

Congressman Smith Speaks for the
Allegheny Hirer.
Representative W, O. Smilb, of Punx
sutawney, in a speech in tbe bouse at
Washington on the river and harbor bill,
exploited tbe Allegheny river and show
ed how it was being discriminated against
in favor of southern streams with not
nearly as much commerce. He then, in
a Jocular manner, took a fall out of the
custom prevailing In his district of giv
ing a representative only two torms. On
this point be said:
"Personally, I shall probably not par
take iu the deliberations of this body
wheu the next river and harbor bill is
under consideration, but tbe Allegheny
will still be there. The district which I
have tbe honor to represent does not per
mit tho congressional service of one Indi
vidual to cover the advent of two rivet
and harbor bills. Members from that dis
trict are necessarily transitory and eph
emeral in their legislative life. Their
constituents would be proud to see one of
their representatives become chairman of
the committee on ways and means or
speaker of the bouse, providing those
honors could be attained by a service of
one or two terms; but tbey do not believe
in making a monopoly of congressional
honors. They favor a generous distribu
tion of these things in order to make them
reach as far as possible. The only man
who ever received more than two terms
in our congressional district was the Hon.
John Covode, who cut a considerable fig
ure in the stormy sessions just preceding
the war of the rebellion. Mr. Covode
picked up considerable Information and
a lot of acquaintances and experience that
were useful to his constituents and tbe
country. He also picked up a cuspidor
once when engaged In a colloquy wilh a
member from South Carolina and In or
der to emphasize tbe point he was trying
to make, threw it at thegentlemon's bead.
But since that time no representative
from that district has been permitted to
get too familiar wiih his colleagues aud
fresh blood has been kept lu circulation
continuously.
"It is simply because I do not want tbe
Allegheny river to drop out of sight here
simultaneously with the present member
from the Twenty-seventb district that I
make these remarks at this time, other
wise, my successor might have some dif
ficulty in locating the stream in tbe minds
of gentlemen, or even persuading thorn of
its existence. The systematic improve
ment of the Allegheny river on the lines
recommended by Major Powell should be
taken up when the next river aud harbor
bill is under consideration three years
hence, aud each bill thereafter should
contain an appropriation lor two or three
locks and dams until the additional eight
are built and the improvements exteud
to Monteroy. By that time its benefits
would be so plainly apparent that the im
provements could be continued without
difficulty to Oil City, and even as far up
as Tionesta, the region of the 'buffalo
sucker,' and the original habitat of tbe
distinguished phllosophor aud poet, Peter
Couver." '
