MRS.
A WelI.MerIted Recognition by IA

ESPECIAL TO THE sESrrNEL.l

A welI.MerIted Recognition by the
Pacific Churchman.'
The press and people of Nevada have
much regretted the prospective departure
of Bishop Whitaker, who will soon assume
the duties Of a new field of labor. His
success % church work here Ia known TO
the nethermost parts Of the State. Mrs.
Whitaker has always been q most faithful
co.worker, and the Pacific Churchman
thus kindly speaks of her: "But perhaps
il is not generally known outside Of the
diocese TO whom much of this success in
church work ia due. Il is undoubtedly
due to the lifelong help-meet the Bishop
has had In his noble and faithful wife.
We believe we are not stretching 1t too
much when We say the prosperity OF the
Reno school to-day, the beauty Of its
buildings, and the true womsnhood of its
graduates ia due in q great measure
to a Jealous christian woman
whom God has blessed the diocese
with for over 20 years. The repu-
tation which st. Paul's Sunday school,
Virginia City, has had far and wide. for
the number Of scholars-interest and
large Lenten oferings--it would hardly
have had if it had not been fed month after
month and year after year by Mrs. Whit
aker's infant class. 1t is our prayer that
she may be long spared to assist her hus-
band in the new field of labor to which
God has called him. Many friends will
miss her from Virginia. The young men
will miss their pleasant entertainments at
her home; hundreds of little children will
never forgive her; and hundreds more will
ever bless the memory of her who was the
first to impart to their infant minds the
first principles OF Christ and his church.

ESPECIAL TO THE sENrINEL.l
st. PETERSBURG, Sept. 2.-Prince Alex
ander sent the following telegram to the
Gear through the Russian Consulate at
R%ustchuk; "Sire-Having reassumed the
Government OF Bulgaria, 1 venture to
offer to Your Imperial Majesty my most
respectful thanks for the action Of your
Consul at Rustchuk, whose official presence
at my reception showed the Bulgarians
that Russia did not approve of the revolu-
ton act directed at my person. / also
thank Your Imperial Majesty for dis
patching Prince Dolgouroki as Envoy
Extraordinary to Bulgaria. My first act
on resuming power is to assure Your
Majesty Of my firm intention to make
every sacrifice to forward Your Majesty's
m-agnanimous intention to extricate Bull
garia from the grave crisis through which
she is passing. I beg Of Your Majesty that
you will authorize Prince Dolgouroki to
place himself in direct communication
with myself as speedily as possible. /

your august person. Monarchial princi-
pie compels mt to restore the legality of
my crown in Bulgaria and Roumelia.
Russia having given me my crown, 1t Is
into the hands Of Russia's sovereign that
1 am ready to render"
The Czar replied TO Alexander as fol-
lows: II cannot approve Of your return
to Bulgaria, foreseeing from it sinister
consequences for the country already so
sorely tried. The mission of Prince DOL
gouroko has become inexpedient. l shall
abstain so long as Your Highness remains
in Bulgaria from any Intervention in the
sad condition to which the country Ia re-
duced. Your Highness must decide your
own course. I reserve TO myself to judge
what my venerated fathers memory, the
interests OF Russia and the peace Of the
Government require of me-"
