Mrs. c. II. BetterIey.

Mrs. C. II. Betterley, on Thursday night, Aug.
20, finished her usual round of daily household
duties went to her room apparently in full health,
and while preparing for bed, slipped away from
earth to glory. No sickness no struggle, gasp
or two, and all of this life over her feet
on the golden streets inside the gates of the eter
nal city. Hers was the glad awakening without
a sleep, but what loss on this side A faithful
and devoted wife for 46 years, mother, who by
her Christian influence, large family of children
and grandchildren are being brought to Christ, an
active church member, kind and sympathetic
neighbor and friend, cut off in a few minutes and
gone from us forever A large circle of friends
mourn her loss, but who can estimate the wealth
of such life! By"patient continuance in well
doing she had indeed Inherited eternal life, and
left behind her a blessing that Will be handed
down to children's children Who but Jesus
could make such life in the midst of common
household cares, and make the Christ likeness in
the midst of petty that are so apt 10 occupy
all the thoughts. Friends and neighbors crowded
the grave with 1ower- but one of the most touch
ing tributes to her memory was made by two
homeless boys whom she had brought up, now
young men, who when they looked upon her forthe
last time s"bbed, Mother mother" She has
gone, and let US take up her work and do the
things she would have done had she lived.

which town has been their residence ever
since. OF this union seven children were
born, five of whom are living: Frank S.,
Ida M, Mrs. Nellie j. Copeland, Luther G.
and Fred X. She also leaves a husband,
two brothers and one sister to mourn her
loss.
Mrs. Bellows was a woman of great worth
and of rare excellence Of character and
large circle of friends and relatives will
mourn her loss most sincerely. She was
thoroughly devoted to her family and was
a most affectionate wife and mother. As
neighbor she will be especially missed.
The cases of sickness where she has been
tender watcher and nurse are very many.
A good woman has gone to her rest and re-
ward. The funeral was largely attended

A Discourteous Prince.

NEW YORK, June ga special
to the Herald from Valparaiso says !:
The Spanish colonies Of this city
and Santiago and several import
ant and influential Spanish clubs
are disappointed and hurt at the
want of courtesy shown by Prince
Louis of Savoy during his stay
here. When the prince arrived in
Chile on board the italian cruiser
Cristofero Columbo, a respectable
delegation of Spanish residents
awaited upon him, and offered him
many civilities. 1t is said the
prince never paid any attention to
these offers, not even sending a
note of thanks. The Spanish col
onies are the more surprised at
this action as the prince, son OF
the late King Abadeno OF Spain,
was born in Madrid.

NEW YORK, June pa special

ment, that Turkish troops fired

plete accord exists between the
representatives OF the great powers
on the point OF securing the ap-
pointment of OF Christian governor

The Persians are promoting the

The Dreuses have now received
Bedouin's support, and are driving
out the Turks. Diplomatic pres
sure is being brought to bear upon
the Porte increasing the chances OF
peace.
The following statement has
been received from Capt. Villario:
IL have witnessed hideous enormi-
ties. Armenian girls and women
were publicly sold at auction. A
mother threw her two daughters
into we'll before my eyes, to save
them from the Turks. Evidence
OF Turkish official completely has
been obtained by me. The foreign
press should be ashamed to remain

HANNA TALKS.
SAYS WORKMEN ARE INDIFFERENT
TO FREE SILVER.
They Want Better Wages, Continued En-
plOyment and These viii Come
Through Our Restored Indus
tries by Protection.

CHICAGO, June pa special to
a morning paper from Cleveland
says Mark Hanna does not think
the silver question is matter OF
great concern to the workingmen
and is quoted in an interview as
follows:
"The thousands OF workingmen
employed in the factories Of this
country do not care an iota about
free silver. They say they do not
and it is apparent that what the
industrial classes OF America want
is better times, dawn Of prosper
ity and some assurance that they
will ere long receive better wages
or at least a stipend equal to that
which they were getting before the
financial depression which fol-
lowed the democratic victory OF
1892.
81 am convinced OF the correct.
ness of what 1 say because 1 have
talked with my men on this sub
ject. 1 have 5000 men In my en-
ploy and 1 know by personal in
vestigation that the men who are
working in the shops and in the
mines care little or nothing about
the whole financial question. They
recognize the fact that it Is one OF
the issues of the campaign, but
that is about as far as their inter-
est goes. 1t is the farmers and
debtors class of the country who
argue the free silver matter. The
workingmen want prosperity and
they realize the fact that this
much desired condition can only
come as a result of the remedial
measures of a protective tariff"
However, the nomination OF
Mckinley on a gold platform is
going to stimulate industry. 1t
is going to bring back to this coun-
try much of the capital that was
withdrawn by foreign investors
and its effect will be felt to an
equal degree among capitalists.
Why 1 know myself Of an enter
prise involving millions of dollars
whose project vas declared until
after the declarations of principles
by the st. Louis convention"
