Gone in her purity. fallen asleep,
Death is eternal life, why should we weep!
Close the blue eyes in their last silent rest,
Fold the white hands on the still pulseless breast
Smooth the bright curly hair from the forehead away
Her Father has called her and she must obey;
Leaving the world where the cross must be
borne,
Going to him. where the crown must be worn.
Conflict all past, the victory won;
Beyond all grief, eternity begun,
Wearing the crown in holiness wreathed,
All peace at last, because she believed,
Gone to that haven where peace e'er shall reign.
When time is no more We shall meet her again.
Gone in her purity, fallen asleep
Death is eternal life, why should we weep.

In the evening he complained of not feel

morning when they tried to wake him
they discovered that he had died during

is severe shock to all who knew him.
He was buried at Chama with Masonic

him as he called at our Office at that time,
the perfection OF physical strength and
health. Surely in the midst of life We

a TERRIBLE CYCLONE SWEEPS
 OVER TEXAS.
No FuIi Reports obtainabie. But There Whl Be Much Loss of Life-The Floods in the North Touching the Highest Points Ever Known.

GAINESVILLE. Texas. May ls-News has reached here of terrible cyclone in the Turkey Valley in Greer county. It swept from one end of that fertile section to the other. literally demol- ishing everything in its path. Even dug-outs were unroofed and people lifted out of them and hauled along the ground for incredible distances.
 The extent of the loss of life can not yet be ascertained. Five. however, are known to have been killed ahd ten probably fatally hurt. Hardly per. son in the valley escaped without in- jury of some kind. Coffins are being hauled from the nearest towns.

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.
It May. Perhaps, Decline to Consider the
 Briggs Case.

NEW YORK, May ls The general assembly of the Presby yterian church of the United States, which convenes at Portland, Ore, on Thursday, May ls, promises to be deliberative body of more than usual importance. It has not only 10 consider the advanced phase of the movement in favor of re- vision of the confession of faith, but the case of Dr. Briggs, who is accused of teaching non-orthodox doctrine, Is also to come before it's notice
 Its action on the Briggs question may be of more importance to the temporal welfare of the church than that with regard to the confession of faith. Upon it is likely to depend the cohesion of the church factions.
 The case will te brought before the general assembly by the prosecuting committee of the New York presbytery. It is possible, of course, that the general assembly will decline to enter tain the ease, for there will be pre- sented at the same time the formida ble complaint of Dr. Briggs against the ruling of the New York presbytery at the time the case was dismissed

WASHINGTON. May i7-What in all proba bility will be found to be one of the most important bills passed by the present Congress is the one which gives an American registry to tho two In. man steamships, the City of New York and the City of Paris It is true tha, only two steamships will be immedi. ately affected by the law; but two more will be launched of even finer character as quickly as human energy. and capital can build them. and in addition it is expected that other companies, seeing the ad. vantage reaped by the Inman Line by the transfer, will make similar appli. cations, and that ere long the stars and stripes will show to al! the world that the United States is once more what she was before the war when twelve out of every twenty ships that sailed into Liverpool carried the Amer ican flag, the commercial mistress of the seas. England is manifestly dis pleased at the action of Congress
