Her Royal Highness, Woman, . was the subject of lecture at Mer- Till Institute Friday night by the celebrated Frenchman Max O'Ren. (Paul Fauree). Notwithstanding the great scope Of the subject, and the opportunity for oratorieal flights, word-painting and glowing tributes. the lecture was very unin- teresting and disappointing to the large audience present. Consider able time was consumed in a tire some description Of French ladies to whom the lecturer paid many in- tended eulogies. 4 needed rest was then allowed the audience after which the lecturer discussed English and American women, their man ners, lives, etc, which was likewise tiresom to all except those who took to themselves the fiattery of Ameri- can women.

0bituasy.

HORToN-I.ast Wednesday, March IS, 1896, the community in and around Menchanicsville, in Pine Bluff, was startled to learn that Miss Hilda Horton had died during the night. She had been visiting some days with the family of Mrs. Manship. She had been suffering for several years with that dread disease, consumption, and though very feeble, her death was some what of a surprise. Miss Hiida was an estimable young lady, must ffectionate daughter and sister. She was born in Walton, Harvey County, Kansas, June 16. 1873; was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church at l3 years of age.
 In the early part of her sickness she took a trip to Colorado, aud when about to part with her, her father asked her if she realized her condition. she answered promptly: T do; am prepared for the worst. In all her sickness she has been very patient. No murmer was ever heard from her. Not noticing her own sad condition. she was all considerate and thoughtful of others. She loved the church, and intended to come out to Riverside services last Sunday if the weather had not been so rainy and cold. but in stead the Lord has let her go to the church triumphant. Her loving father mother and two brothers are left to mourn her death, together with the Riverside NJ. E. Church. South. of which she was q devoted
 member. A large audience attended her funeral last Thursday afternoon in Riverside Church, after which her remains were taken to the cemetery near the family home, about six
 miles in the country, for interment. May all the beraved loved ones meet
 her in heaven.
