THE BELLE OF HAVANA.
She Expires in Great Agony From Il
Sting of an insect

She Expires in Great Agony From the
Sting of an Insect.
The EasterIide festivities in this gay city
have been greatly dimmed this year by the
sad and remarkable death OF Senorita En-
nestina Olivia, the belle of Havana and heir
ess and member of one of the best known
families III Havana, says Havana CORE
spundent of the New York World. So
marked a sensation did her tragic death oc-
casion that it affected all classes of society,
and the entire population of the city made
it the Grief topic of discussion all during the
Semana Santa or Holy Week.
Seuorita Ernestina Olivia was about 10
years old and was TO have been married on
Easter Monday to Don Eduardo LebredO.
She lived with her parents in one of the
haudsomest houses III the city of Havana on
the PradO, ard was noted not only for her
beauty, but for her sweetness and charm of
manner and disposition. Active prepara-
tions were being made for her wedding and
despite the sadness of Holy Week her ap-
pr0aching nuptials formed the subject of
the liveliest and pleGsantest anticipatiOns
IN Havana society.
On the eve of Palm Sunday the young
girl happened to be in the garden adjoining
her fathers house. CarelesSly pluckiDg
rose she put one OF the petals in her mouth.
II is presumed that an insect which had
been feeding on some diseased meat was
concealed in the petal and stung her lip,
for short time sfteTv ard she complained
of pain in her lip, which began to swell in
an alarming manner. Physicians were sum-
mOned, but the poison could not be con-
trolled or eradicated, and after suffering
great agony she died on the morning of
Palm SUNDAY, after scarcely tweuty-four
hours of Illness. Her funeral was held on
the afternoon of Monday, March 23d, and
was attended by an enormous thr0ng of peo-
pie. The piaZZas of the Pasaje Hotel adj
Joining were crowded with Americans, who
were Interested SD ectatorS of the scene.
1t may be interesting TO American readers
to give a description of it as it appeared in
FL Pals, one OF the principal Havana news
papers, 1.-The funeral of the Senorita
Ernestina DIVA, which took place at 4:30
o'clock this Monday afternoon, was invested
with unusual ponIp and was great mani
festaton of sorrow for 80 unexpected q
death and an evidence Of the affection felt
for her afflicted family, and for her fiance,
from whom she has disappeared forever. A
gorgeous gala coach was drawn by eight
horses decked with plumes. all coal black
and covered with white netting, driven by
eight pages in scarlet livery and two coach
men. Following them came the family car
riage draped with mourning and decked
with blazing torches. the funeral coach and
innumerable carriages. In fact, over 5000
carriages composed the procession, and those
were filled with the leaders of our society,
for the parents of Senorita ErneStna Olivia
are most esteemed in al! circles"

"CHRIsTIAN EMPLOYEES"
Disco urse by the Pastor of the Church
DisCiples.

Disco urse by the Pastor of the Church OF
Disciples.
At the Church of Disciples, on Twelfth
street, near Howard, Rev. NJ. J. Ferguson
preached the seventh sermon of series be
has been delivering on Applied Christian
ny" The subject of his discourse was
christianity Applied to Employees" and
he chose for his text Ephesians vi ;5-S
Servants, be obedient to them that are
your masters" etc.
The reverend gentleman said that when a
workman is doing his duty TO his emplyer
he is also serving God. A Christian cannot
afford to shirk his work; he will do duty to
God and render good service to men, thus
adjoining the doctrine of God, our Savior. If
Christians intend, instead Of faithfully per-
forming services that are required OF them,
to Shirk their duties, people will say, Look
at your Christians, and point the hnger OF
Scorn at them.
us it no concern of ours" he continued.
''that we have in our keeping Gods name?
As long as man is doing service to another
man he is in honor bound to do all that he
can" The preacher next referred to dis
Sensions between labor and capital and said
that when wOrkmen showed themselves
eager to do what was right and eXalt their
office as laborers, when differences did arise
they would have justice on their side. But
when men are not faithful when in service,
but shirk their work, there will be suspicion
aud pickering and trouble between en-
ployes and employers.
All workmen. he said, are not Christians,
all are not faithful workers, and when
trouble arises the innocent must suffer with
the guilty. Because our work is not appre-
ciated is no reason why we should not make
it good. The good employe. no matter what
happens, knows that he is doing Gods will.
We must be faithful and do good work both
for God and for man and whatever we 10
God will reward us according TO our deserts.

THE MOTHER-IN-LAw.
DIR. W. W. Faris Discourses on the Won
derfui Virtues Of Naomi.

DIR. W. W. Faris Discourses on the Won
derfui Virtues OF Naomi.
At the Presbyterian Tabernacle DR.. W.
W Faris delivered discourse which might
be construed as defense of or compari-
son between the ancient and modern
mother-in-law.
AS an example of what a mother-in-law
might become under the teachings Of the
Holy Scriptures, he cited the case OF
Naomi, a Biblical character of many vir-
tues.
"The position of mother-in-law," said
the speaker, seems singularly unadapted
for welding happy influence, but there is
a story behind the instance TO which have
called your attention, one which Will lllum-
nate the character OF Naomi and put her on
record in most favorable light
"A famine, fault finding husband, an i'm
migration to distant land. This is not all
Two sons fall in love with heather girls
and marry them. Trouble follows the EN-
igrants, and an epidemic swept away the
two husbands and left tile WIDOWS desOlate.
Naomi determined to return to Bethlehem,
and insisted upon her daughters-in-law ac-
eompanying her. They consented, and
though Orpah weakened and went back to
her people, Ruth continued faithful and pre-
ferred the society of Naomi though pow
erty-stricken and aged, to tnat Of all other
friends-eyen going so far as TO choose her
mother-in-law'S religion.
1.-The second part of the story has a fine
touch of romance. The mUther-in-law
planned a marriage for the young widow,
and she became the wife of BOaZ, a wealthy
old bachelor. That Naomi, in a distant
land, could exert such powers over her
daughter-in-law is a singular proof of the
power OF Cody character, and the fact that
she devoted the remainder of her day to
scheming the welfare of Ruth is also an
instance of the unselfshnesS which Godli-
ness produces
In conclusion the speaker urged his hear
ers, like Ruth, to make a happy choice aud
yield to the attractive influences of Godlike

A coNvERTED BRAHMIN.
Rev. Naraya sheshadri Tells of Indian
Missionary Work.

Rev. Naraya Sheshadri Tells of Indian
Missionary Work.
Rev. Naraya Sheshadri, DID,, a con-
verted Brahmin, addressed the congregation
Of Calvary Presbyterian Church last night
on missionary work-generally in India.
The speaker is an elderly man-posSibly
some 10 years Of age-and speaks remarka-
bly, good English, in distinct, strong voice.
He wore the flowing costume of his native
country, as we'll as a white turban.- and with
his dark countenance and large white mus
~ taches, made striking picture In the pull
pit.
He stated that after some fifty years Of
missionary duty in and around Bombay his
health had given way and ne was now I'M
der medical advice, making a trip to the
United States and Europe. In 1889 he said,
he was a Brahmin of the Brahmns, one of
the highest in the priesthood and very
bignted A Presbyterian mission was eS-
fablished at that time in Bombay aud he be-
came student there simply to study the
Christian religion, but not with religious
idea IN view. When he compared the pal
pablo truths of Christianity with the ridicu-
lOus idolatrous beliefs existing III India he
was convinced that the Bible was the only
true word of God, and after the deepest
thought be was converted and baptised at
tie mission in 1913.
He then spoke at length of the many
ridiculous faiths of the different sects in
India. such as the worship Of Rahm, the
monkey god. Believers in Rahm thought
be was gigantic monkey, who every time
lie pulled hair out of his body created a
god equal 10 himself. Each time this new
god pulled out hair he made another god,
md so on ad infnitum. There was, how
ever, one universal foundation to all In
dian beliefs, and that was that there was
enc supreme god.
After being converted the speaker stated
that he the pOuntrV tn the Nizgyn
Of BengaPs land, and there, on a donation
of 500 acres, built mission station named
Bethel, where there were now 2000 Indian
converts. A large brick and stone church
had been built there, and Christianity WAS
spreading far and wide over India. Yearly
missionary synods are held in India, and
the records show that the converts doubled
IN number every year.
The speaker then recited the Lords
prayer in Hindustanee and Mahra;ta, and
said that the Bible had been translated into
both languages and widely distributed all
over the country. There was no question
but that the missionaries were doing untold
good in India, and under their teachings
most of the Brahmins and Parsees even, if
not converted, were abandoning many of
their ldOlatrOus beliefs.
lie also spoke warmly in rraise of the
Pundita Ramabais labors among the child
widows of India, and told those who had
contributed TO the Pundita's schemes when
she was in this city couple OF years ago.
that she was honestly aud faithfully carry
ing out her good work with the best results.
Dr. Sheshadri also spoke very highly of
the great good the missionaries were accom-
plishing at the stations he had visited in
Ceylun, China and Japan.

in his master that led him to do great things
in his service, but an hour later he showed
that he lacked another kind OF falthfulness
when he denied that master rather than be
subjected to ridieule for his sake.
''He WHO'S truly faithful to a friend changes
not with the changes in that friends
fortunes. If he believes him to be honest
and true while the world favors him, he is
faithful to him whenthe world treats him
to contempt
BE faithful in little things" said the
preacher, "as the New Testament teaches.
1t is like praying in secret-no one knows
that it is being done save him who prays;
but he knows, and it makes him strong.
Faithfuluess believes in doing all things
we'll 1t would lave them better than they
look rather than look better than they are.
'Faithfuness in action is telling the truth
indeeds. 1t is keeping the promises made
by ones attitude and profession. When an
artisan puts up sign informing the public
that he is a shoemaker he invites the con-
fdence of the public in his ability to make
shoes, and if he cannot make shoes he lies
while the sign stands before The people, Tor
he processes to know and does not know
The man who calls himself q lawyer yet is
unable to take care of his clients interests,
the doctor who is ignorant OF MS patient $
disease and the monitor who cannot leau
his flock are alike unfaithful."
The preacher condemned the sympathetic
man, who, carried away by his feelings. is
ever ready to promise more than he can
perform and by creating expectations winch
are never realized gains for himself a repu,
tation for unfaithfulness, while faithful
man, who will not promise when ne douDts
his ability to perform, is too often con-
Sidered cold and selfish.

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY
People Should Live 100 Years and Enjoy

"To grow old gracefully" says the welEknown
Dr. Gardner, is not the common lot Of all. With adj
vancing years come increased inhrmities, but they
are by means unavoidable and their presence is
due to failure keep to their work the various
organs of the body. The study Of the body by

years."

thing of all is that this premature age and breaking
down is needless. 1t easily be avoided by lit
tie care and assisting nature Just little, and 1t is
upon this point that DR.. Gardner again speaks most
clearly.
He SAYS: "Science, common sense and all expert

use OF alcoholic stimulants" 1t should be remem-
bered however that they must be pure, and that of
all stimulants whiskey Is preferable. The word
