Known in ev ery quarter of the glolx, with kings and queens for friends, she was a MRS. ELIZA D. STEWART. power in her day. Her home was in Springfield, O.. until recently, when she removed to Auburn Park, and it was there, living her last days quietly and in seclusion, that she died. Karly Acquainted with Hardship!. Eliza D. Stewart was born in Tike ton, O., April 25. 1S10. of the Gutkery at:d Baldwin line of ancestry, the old revolutionary hero. Colonel John Guth ery, 1 ing her grandfather. At the age of o years she was loft motherless, and at 12 lei-ame an orphan. Thus early in life she became acquainted with hardships. Yet to within a year of her dearli she was a living example of loving amiability, charitable, mild, modest and sweet in all that makes old age beautiful. Itrgins Her Temperance Career. She was twice married, the second time to Hiram Stewart, who was a stanch advocate of all the principles his wife advocated and who rendered her much assistance in her work. She had no children of her own, but took to her motherly heart the two sons of her second husband. In 1ST8 her strong love of temperance reform led her to join the Good Templars, of which, so ciety she was always an honored mem ber. Then, coming down the years to the time of the civil war, her sous en listed and served their country as able men. At this time supplies ran short, th.e government being unable to answer all the- calls made on it, and Mother Stewart with many other noble wom en worked night and day unceasingly. KKSPO"IS TO THE NATION'S CALL Comforts the Dying and Weeps Over th Lonely Oraven of Heroes. When the call for the Cincinnati sanitary was made, Mother Stewart was the tirst woman to respond. She had a framed certificate officially signed, testifying to her valuable serv ices in that work. She visited the hos pital bringing the sick little delicacies and supplying them with bandages and clothes. Slie comforted the dying and wept over the lonely graves of brave men. The honor felt for her and the confidence reposed in her can not be better evidenced than, through the fact that she was , given a per- of the administration with respect to the work of the coming congress is to have as little legislation as possi ble outside of supplying the necessar ies of life to the government. In oth er words, "Please omit frills and flow ers." The. record of the congress will be taken for review before the court of last resort the voters a year hence, and it is intended that the electorate shall have little to criticise in 11)04. Some objections are being made against carrying out this policy, par ticularly by new members of con gress, who rely upon the "pork" they receive to strengthen their candidacy for reelection next year. Mr. Cannon recognizes this situation and there fore will be very careful in making up the committees. Nobody but men upon whom he can rely absolutely will be placed at the head of the im portant committees. The election of a republican house of representatives and the carrying of the presidential election will be the aim of the republican leaders at the coining session, and that object will be kept in view all the time, it is said, and be paramount to all other con siderations. 1 Chicago, Oct 10.
