Death Of Mrs. o. G. Hall.

1t is with feelings Of personal grief that
we chronicle, this morning, the decease of
Mrs. Hall, wife Of Hon. o. G.. Hall, judge
of our superior court, which took place at
her home in this city yesterday morning at
3 o'clock.
Mrs. Hall was lady of rare Christian
character, cheerful, sympathetic, tender,
true in all the relations of life. Carrying
the burden of feeble health these many
years, yet, without word of murmur or a
breath of complaint, she met the issues of
life cheerfully. bravely, womanly.
Her delicate health has prevented her
entering as largely as she otherwise might
into the social life of the city. and yet in q
tender, quiet, unostentatious manner she
found her way into the homes and
hearts of many Of our people, and
impaired new life and hope by the
warmth of the sunshine Of her presence.
The major part of her life was spent in
the city of Rockland, where she was born
vi the EJtu udy VI AuaiCh, Aooo' anu ~ " s'o
there that she was able to give generous
scope to the qualities of heart and mind for
which she was held in such high esteem.
In early womanhood she united with the
Congregationalist church, Of which organic
alton she has always been an earnest and
consistent member.
During the summer months just passed
she spent several weeks at Pemaquid. The
change of scene and air seemed to prove
beneficial and she returned home full OF
courage and hope. ~
But the hope was Elusive. The years OF
suffering had proved themselves conquerors,
she has fought the last fight, and peace
fully, with serenest confidence, she needed
the call Of the Dark Angel.
Two daughters, Miss Hattie of this city
and Mrs. ]. C. Perry of Rockland, and two
sons, Oliver L. and Arthur w. OF the
waterville Sentinel, are left to keep the hus-
band and father company in the onward jour
ney. Theirs all the tender recollection, the
sweet hope and the earnest sympathy OF al
who know them.

When one with with whom we have
walked and talked and taken sweet coun-
eel together" all our lives suddenly leaves
our side. because Heavens gate has opened
for her, we stand bewildered.
And presently we hear the tender words
of One who walks beside Us, Father will
that they also whom Thou hast given me be
with me where am" We are no more
bewildered, we ought not to Be any more
sad for We know that inside that gate has
been fulfilled to her the promise, "th.t
they may behold My glory" Our hearts
grow quiet at the thought of her joy and We
say to one another her life work was "well
DONE" she had right to enter in to the 10y
Of her Lord.
OF gentle, delicate, refined nature,
thoroughly conscientious in every duty,
sweetly unselash in heart and life, our dear
friend will always be thought Of a. zone
whom Jesus loved" one who had indeed the
spirit of Christ. Her bible was her precious
storebouse where she gathered her "manna',
day by day. 1t was the secret of her beauti-
full life, for she grew thereby into the pure,
loving, lovable woman that she was. For
every one in trouble or poverty she had the
tenderest sympathy, and the ever open
hand and heart, as far a. she was able.
Every Sabbath afternoon for many years,
it was her pleasure to read to, and cheer
dear blind friend. Every Monday even
ing for many years to receive into her pleas
ant home the friends who would come to
study with her the bible lesion for the
week. Last Monday evening she had the
class as usual-now the glories of Heaven
are revealed to her, and she needs her
bible no longer. What more can we wish
for her? For ourselves courage, faith,
patience "till the shadows fee away"
"Thus in the quiet 10y Of kindly trust
We bid each parting saint q brief farewell;
Weeping, yet smiling, we commit their dust
To the safe keeping of the silent cell.
softly within that peaceful resting place
We lay their weary limbs, and bid the clay
Rest lightly on them till the night be past,
And the far East give note ofcomng day.
"The day of reappearing-how 1t speeds!
He who 10 true and faithful speaks the word
Thea shall we ever be with those we love;
Then shall we be forever with the Lord"

STUART ROBSON IN "TnE HENRIETTA"

STUART ROBSON IN 1.-THE HENRIETTA.
"The Henrietta" in which Stuart Robson
will appear at the Opera house Wednesday
evening, Oct. 10, has been so thoroughly
commented upon that it re quires little men
ton to familiarize it to our theatre goers. 1t
deals with the humorous side of specula-
tors life, and is a satire on American fads
and foibles, and the speculation OF Wall
street. While yet dealing with comedy,
some of its scenes are thrilling, and even
tragic. The fun of the play begins with the
very rise of the curtain, where the specula-
tons of the elder Van Alstyne furnish
abundant material for laughter; from thence
through the ludicrous love scene OF the
pht-brained BERTHE to the end of the COM
edv. BY Mr.. Robson's long delineation of
the character of "the lamb whom every
one fleeces, he appears to have become a
mart of it. His very entrance, 20 matter
how serious may have been the previous
scenes, is the commencement of hilarity,
which only ends with his exit.
The sale of seats will open at the Opera
bouse cafe and at G. w. Browns Gardiner,

sented at the Opera house tonight. 1t is
said to be very amusing, and introduces
many novel specialtes. Speaking of its
presentation in that city, the Fremont CO.,
Sun says:
Mr.. VIM. Gray has done the public good
services in bringing before them his new

company, gives pure and wholesome en-
tertainments, and has spared neither time
nor expense to make his latest effort sue.
cess, He is man of indomitable will and
energy and gentleman. He is very
popular with all classes and should meet
with the hearty support of the public,
which he is surely doing, judging from the
audience at the Grand last night.

WHITE LET 1T SLIP.
Why San Pedro Lost Her
Appropriation.
The Senator From California Did
Not Attend Strictly to His
Business.

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. HuntiDgton's
agents have succeeded in knocking out San
Pedro's deep-water barbor project. for the
time at least. Cannon of the Ventura dis
trict succeeded by hard work in having an
item of $4,000 appro priated for deepening
the inner harbor. He had tried TO secure
it Tor the outer narbOr, which woulG viz
tually have committed the Government in
favor of San Pedro as against Santa Mon
lea; but the House conlnittee had deter
mined positively that it would undertake
no new ojecls, such as this would have
been.
Then he and White got their heads to-
gether and formed this plan. When the
bill reached the Senate White was to try
and have this appropriation clause
amended so the money could be diverted
from the purpose intended by the House
and expended On the outer harbor. This
scheme did not work. however, and the
Senate passed the item as it came from
the House.
The bill then went 10 conference and
White apparently paid no further atten-
ton to it, though why he neglected so i'm
portant q matter IL is difficult to under
stand. Anyway, the conference COM
mittef, ignoring custom and all prece-
dents, cked the item our. When the
bill came back from the conference White,
to all appearances, was greatly surprise ed
and protested vehemeutly against the
action Of the conference committee, but
was unable to change the result. He
cited presidents and argued till he was
red in the face, but all availed naught.
Huntington's men had done their work
too well. Mr.. White is angry, and will at
u ext winters session explain the matter
10 the Senate and endeavor to have a
special act passed making this appropria-
tion. which he says will be time enough,
as the Government engineers have said
they could not use the money this season,

BOUTELLE SUPPRESSED.
For All That lie Sent Home His Shot
at the Administration.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-In the House
to-day Boutelle, speaking to question of
personal privilege, denied the published
imputation that he had introduced for po-
litical purposes resolutions recognizing the
new Hawaiian republic. Referring to the
Presidents recognition of the republic, he
began describing how Mr.. Gresham had
''sneaked up to the Capitol yesterday to
inform Chairman McCreary of the admin
istration's purpose" when he was called
to order by Cultivate and warned by the
Speaker Boutelle denounced the conduct
of the administration on Hawaiian affairs
as peanut politics." He asked the House
TO repudiate the whole malodorous affair
and express to the new republic its cordial
congratulations.
The Speaker decided that Boutelle had
gone outside the question Of personal priv
ilege, and. as he would not desist, ordered
him to take his seat.
McCreary protested that Boutelle, by his
manner and words" had charged i'm
proper motives 10 the committee.
Boutelle interjected-'I withdraw man.
ner.' The gentleman from Kentucky has
enough for both of u.s."
NJ Creary thereupon resumed his seat.
In the morning hour Meyer OF Louisiana
again called up the bill to promote the effl-
cheney of the militia, and Fithian OF Hi
nois condemned the part taken by the citi-
zen soldiers in the late strike.
In the course Of two and a half hours six
relief bills were passed. and then at 1850
