Mr. McDuffee has resided in the city for the past twenty-eight yean. He was a veteran of the Civil war, having served three years with Company G, Seoond Michigan Volun teer Cavalry, and at the close of the war was holding the position of sergeant. For the pact few years he has been re ceiving a liberal pension from the gover ment for the service he rendered. The deceased was a man of noble character, being always ready to lend a helping hand to the suffering and oppressed. Those whose pleasure it was to pass bis door on their way to and from their different occupations will, indeed, miss his pleasant face, as he always had a smile and a pleasant word for all. Mr. McDuffee was a retired railroad man, having until the last four years been a section foreman on the Burlington rail road. This position he held forty-four years, when on account of his advanced age and poor health he was compelled to resign. Mr. McDuffey was born in Warick, Seneca county, New York, February 23, 1828, and twenty-six years later was united in marriage to Miss Martha E. Harper, who died several years ago. To this union several child ren were born, some passing away when in infanoy. Four children survive their aged parent, namely: Mrs Charles Swain of Overt, Olkahoma; Mrs. James Waldron of Ogden, Utah; Mrs. Frank Morse of Excelsior Springs, Missouri, and Samuel J. McDuffee of this city, all of who were present at the funeral, which was held Monday morning from the family residence, Rev. De Wolfe,, pastor of the Methodist church, officiating, and his body was laid to rest in the Colum bus cemetery beside that of his wife. One of the interesting speakers at the ohautauqua who pleased all who heard his address was J. Mohammad All a native of India. He was educated is the Mohammedan Anglo Oriential Col lege at Aligarh. In 1896 be was convert ed to Christianity. Later he attended ik Christian college. Eight years ago Mr. Ali came to America, and settled in Detroit where he established the J. Mohammad Ali Tea Oo. During the ohautauqua season he is very mach in demand as a leoturer. He says that caste is the great curse of India, and un? til .social conditions -arte changed by-the spread of the ehriatian religion there will be no radical change for the betterment of the people of his native land. The missionaries have accomplished wonders in the past fifty years; yet their work is slow when it ia taken into consideration that India contains a population 900.000, 000 one-fifth of the inhabitants of the world and of this number only 3,000,000 of the people have embraced Christiani ty. Mr. Ali believes that the commer cial interests of this country Iwill be stimulated when India arouses from her sleep of centuries, and embraces the Christian regligion and adopts European and American civilization. During his term as deputy sheriff Tom Jaworski has locked quite a number of prisoners in the county jail, but Tues day afternoon Louie Borella, who is waiting word from Norfolk to be taken to the asylum there, turned the tables on the deputy sheriff. For several days the prisoner had been -acting sick and in fact before this he was considered to be a model prisoner, one who would make no attempt to escape. But when the deputy sheriff gave Borella his dinner Tuesday the key to the cell was left in the door, and no sooner was Tom inside than the prisoner made a rush for the door, and closed it, locking the deputy in the ceU. The prisoner at once made his escape from the building, and the deputy called to Wm. Bueher, who was near, to watch the man, and also called to Sam Gass to let him out of the fcell. The prisoner managed to get as far aa Twelfth street, when he ran into 8heriff Carrig. who nabbed him and 'he was placed in the jail again. The deputy sheriff is compelled to take a good deal of joshing as a result of the occurrence. - Very flattering reports are being re ceived by the Game Protective Associa tion regarding the English pheasants that were liberated this spring.
