Mrs. John Ritcher. and deprived them of
their idolized child. Willie, aged five years.
three weeks and six days. He had been
sick but short time, and despite the kind
attention of family and loving friends, he
continued to decline, until on Thursday
morning. death relieved him of his pain and
he sank peacefully into everlasting silence.
Willie was a bright child, the cherished
pet of his parents and beloved by al who
knew him. His death has cast a gloom over
the home in which for five short years. his
presence has scattered brightest sunshine.
In the peaceful little cemetery in Dutch
Hollow the little white casket containing
that precious burden was laid away. and the
grave closed over the child we loved so well.
His grief-stricken parents one sister and
two little brothers are left to mourn his loss
May God in His mercy help to heal. their
sorely wounded hearts.
You were a bright flower on earth, Willie,
But God wished thee in heaven to bloom.
And we sent fair prize to our Savior
When we laid our sweet pet in the tomb

as mongrel and degenerate race is.
to say the least, extremely unbecom-
ing. In no part of the Western world
is the white race yielding SO complete
" to admixture with the negro race
as in Jamaica and ether of the British
West India islands; while the relative
sprinkling of white population in
British Guiana becomes less and less.
until it may now besaid without fear of
contradiction there is absolutely no visi-
BILE future for any considerable white
population in the Guianas. Dutch
Guiana recognizes that fact. while
French Guiana has sunk too low even
for its old uses as penal colony.
British Guiana has long admitted these
facts in its policy, but the British
Government willnot allow the truth to
be told in words. The situation is
wholly different in Venezuela. That
republic has a total population of two
Millions and half. The negro ele-
ment is very small one, and the
the same thing is true of the Indian
tribes. The most is Of good Spanish
origin, and although there is some
admixtnre of Indian blood, which in
same cases is found even in leading
families. it is not degrading. 1t is
well known in the United States that
limited admixture of American In
dian blood does not vitiate the Euro
pean stock. In matters of education.
of art, music and literture, of railways
