MRS. MARTHA G. HALVES.
A Paper Adopted by the Ladies' Of
the Societies of DIR. Hoge's Church.

A bright, Christian life has closed upon
earth; one OF the brightest that has
ever blessed this city In all It's history.
The ladies Of the Woman's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society and the Ladies' Benevo-
lent Society OF the Second Presbyterian
church, Richmond, have had so great
and distressing a loss In the departure
of Mrs. Martha G. HAYES, and after so
brief an Illness, that they find II impossi-
bic to make any adequate expression OF
their sorrow.
For many years they have found In
Mrs. HAYES a coiaborer. so intelligent,
so strong in character, so wide In her
sympathies, so ready in her personal aid.
that they have long learned TO look 10
her as a guide and leader in every good
work they were called TO undertake,
and TO lean upon her as an unfailing
support in every cause OK piety and
beneflcence.
Especially had she become their leader
In the cause OF foreign missions, TO
which her heart went out with great de-
sire. and her hand in unwearying assist
ance. She had I'm rare degree the quail
ties of Christian simplicity and wo-
manly rnodesty, and yet a fine capacity
for leading. She presided at the meet
ings OF the Missionary Society with the
resources OF her bright intelligence, and
with unfailing gentleness and courtesy.
In the expression OF sincere sympathy
for the household most afflicted, which
the ladies' now wish TO make, they can
not withhold the utterance or the
sorrow and loss which Is not that OF
societies, but which is personal and pro-
found, and as enduring as life.
Bowling feyerently before the thronc
OF all grace I'm our deep affiiction, we
would thank our Heavenly Father that
He gave her 70 Us. and pray that her
bright example may ever be treasured
by as. and may stimulate and guide Us
jn the performance OF duty

When anything happens in Tur-
key, Russia always looms up. And
when other powers desire to take
action against the Sultan it Is said
that Russia objects. When Eng
land and her possible allies pro
pose to make a move we hear that
Russia stands in the way. This
counter play has been going on so
long that the Russian press speaks
with no little reason when it says
that the Eastern question Is pure
~ a Russian affair, and the ques-
ton of the Dardanelles concerns
Russia only" At all events, Russia
Is always concerned whatever ma
ton turns It's attention in that di-
rection. One thing Is certain-the
Gar Will never let 90 until the
Dardanelles are in his possession.
n st. Petersburg paper l1ndoubt-
edly voices the national sentiment
when it asserts that the loss of the
Dardanelles would put Russia back
a hundred years III her develop
ment. Then it gets boastful: 1--WE
have been successful in isolating
Turkey from England. British in
fuence need no longer be feared
in Constantinople, for Great Brit
ain has lost her prestige. Russia
now stands alone with Turkey. The
Sultan will not find assistance from
any European power. He must
come to terms, and there is little
doubt that he will fulfill our
wishes" For the Sultan to sue
cumb to the Gar would be a
slight step in advance for Turkey.

CONTEMPORARIES On ANNEX
ALTON.

y leading Canadian paper, the
Victoria Colonist, has decided that
the Hawaiian annexation sentiment
is gaining ground in the United
States. and the Colonist can be de-
pended upon to take a fairly non
partisan view Of the situation. 1t
states that proposals for union
were not 50 emphatically rejected
as they were some time ago, and
".the United States has become coy
and. almost half accepts proposals
which she would not listen TO a
few months ago" To support these
statements quotations are given
from the New York Advertiser,
which until recently has bOrdered
on the Indifferent, although never
actually opposing the plan on ac-
count of allegiance to Mr. Harri-
son and the Republican party.
The Advertiser says that a. the
kew to the North Pacific Hawaii
possesses an importance altogether
disproportionate to its population
and national wealth" This we are
pleased to see recognized, since the
California oracles have forgotten
all about this feature since the SUI
Gar beet was unlocked. Continuing
the Advertiser says: 'Our trade
with Asia is yet in its infancy, and
largely because of the lamentable
lack of enterprise on the part OF
the people of San Francisco; but
it is certain ultimately to develop
into vast proportions. The Near
aqua canal may not be constructed
for a generation, but there IS little
doubt of its eventual completion.
Whenthe great ditch is finally dug
and when we shall have finally
gained our just share of commerce
with the swarming millions OF Chi
ma, Japan and other Eastern coun-
tries, the surprising value OF Ha-
wall will manifest itself. Its control
as coaling station must be in the
future alike indispensable to our
navy and to our rehabilitated mer-
camille marine"
The Canadian contemporary can
not understand what is meant by
the ''just share of commerce with
the swarming millions of China,
since the Americans have no one |
to blame but themselves if they |
have not already obtained that |
share. On the whole the astute ed
itor of the Colonist believes the
half wav house will be more bother
than it is worth, although no rea-
sons are given for this conclusion
The embarrassments Hawaii can
bring upon the United States when
annexed are of decidedly imagin-
arv character. With this country |
declared American territory, other
nations will know enough to keep |
their hands off, except in case OF
war, and in such an event the nit
ed States cannot afford to lose the
of having Its Hawaiian
territory well prepared.

The vote of Idaho in favor was nearly

to effect defeat of the measure, under
