In NIenloriulll.

At the home of her parents, at
MERGERS Bottom, West Virginia,
little Blanche, second daughter of
A. w. MoNeill and wife, died of
diphtheria, December 9, 1897, aged
Id years and % days. She was a
lovely child; none knew her but to
love her. She was sick but a few
days All that skilled physicians,
kind friends and loving hands
could do was done to stay the grim
monster, Death, but the will of
God being not yet done, this sweet
bud of promise yielded up her
spirit to the God who gave it. At
an early age she connected herself
with the M. e. Church. We would
say to the grief stricken family and
little sorrowing school-mates, to
follow in little Blanche's footsteps;
fix your heart on things eternal and
trust in the power of the comfort
ing spirit of our loving Savior to
bind up your bleeding hearts.

Cuba ana the Insurgents.

The Court House was fairly
crowded last night on the occasion
of the delivery of lecture on the
above subject by DIR. @. N. Thorn
as, of Illinois, but who after q pro
longed European tour has recently
returned from visit to that beau
tiful but troubled Island. Rev. S.
a. Donahoe introduced the lectur-
er, who divided his address under
four heads his journey to Havana;
the grievances of the Cubans
against Spain; a description of the
people and some most graphic
word pictures of the present war.
Each subject was eloquently,
picturesquely, impressively and
convicingly dealt with and the
wrapt attention of the large audi
ence attested the eXtent of the eff
feet he produced upon his hearers
from beginning to end.
1t was in many. ways mastery
effort and the evident earnestness
Of the speaker and the depth of
his sympathy with the oppressed
insurgents communicated itself to
those who heard him. DIR. Thomas
sees only one solution of the prob
lem facing Americans today in the
present contingency and that is a
recognition of the bc'igerent
rights of the Cubans; otherwise
this disastrous conflict, so far from
nearing a close, is really only com
mencing. A word of praise is due
to the conduct of tho pupils of the
High School who were most atten-
tive and appreciativo of the efforts
of the Lecturer to entertain and
instruct them.
