"Thou hast all seasons for thine own,
O death ~
But seldom has any community been
caused to realize so forceful an exem-
plification of these solemn words as
has been this community in the death
OF Charles L. Harrison, which occurred
at Richmond, Va. on the Sd of Dec, M
Der, and under circumstances of What
peculiar sadness. He had but reached
the goal of this earthly life's sweetest
and noblest ambition, and was thrilling
with the joys of triumph in having
won to himself the love and life COM
partnership of one who was to him the
very realization OF his young manhood s
bright, golden dreams, an impersona-
tion Of the pure, the beautiful, the
good, when the relentless call is made
for him to turn from the bright visions
that were rising in perspective before
him, and quit that earthly elysian so
radiant with the light of love and
hope, and go down and make his abode
sin the silent halls of DEATH
'Remorseless, !" indeed is the ''herce
spirit of the glass and scythe." Ills sad
to see the old, infirm and spalsied with
the weight of years. and to whom the
grave is place of needed rest, turn
from the light and fellowship of life,
and go down to deaths mysterious and
dreamless sleep. But for one who is
but entering the threshold of his man
hood years, radiant with JOY and buoy
ant with hope, to be torn from the
clinging embrace of love, and the light
and music and joy of life. and con-
signed to the silence and darkness of
the grave, how double sad. And. to
the weeping one, who, but yesterday,
walked hand in hand with him through
the bright portals where opened to
their vision the coming years so rich
with promised joy, what mockery
must be all words of human comfort.
Could the loving sympathy Of friends
nave been a shield 10 her, her heart
would have known no touch of sorrow.
Alasl this could not be. Upon her fair
young head, which could not be shell
tered by any finite hand, has fallen this
sorrow which she must bear alone.
For into its gloomy but sacred depths
no other heart can enter.
THE TIMES, with all her devoted
friends, can but tender their sincerest
words o sympathy, and pray that the
guiding hand Of Infinite Love may lead
her and enable her to realize the Divine
philosophy of controlling grief, and, in
the depths of her woe, to hear the sweet
words, 81 love thee, / love thee, pass
under thesrod."

Death of Chas. r. Harrison.

All remember the happy marriage of
Charles T. Harrison and Miss Minnie
Rollwage at the Episcopal church in
this city on November 9th, 1898
While the groom was ailing, it never
occurred to the well-wishers of the
young couple that death had already
set the seal upon his brow. The com.
munity received shock last Saturday
on the receipt of a telegram by Mr.. l.
Rollwage announcing the death of Mr.
Harrison. Mr.. Rollwage accompanied
by his daughter Alice, left Sunday for
Virginia and returned Wednesday
night, brining with them the inconsola,
able widowed daughter and sister.

FATE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
American Rule Favored by the Lon.
don Times.


London, July 27.-The Times. in an edi-
torial this morning applauding Spain for
accepting the inevitable advises her to
face the facts of the political situation
with the same frank courage which Sc
cured the respect of the Americans on the
battlefield"
Discussing the probable terms OF peace.
the Times says: THE United
States viii probably take Por-
to Rico in lieu of a money
indemnity and II would be best for the
world at large if America boldly under
took the burden of giving Cuba and the
Philippines a strong, honest government
through American officials.
IF Spain Is permitted to re-assurne SOW
ereignty over the Philippines she will have
TO engage in a war of conquest, which
might be attended with serious conse-
quences to American and other interna-
tiOnal Interests in the Pacific"
The London morning papers agree that
il will be impossible for Spain TO pay in
demnty. and that il is improbable that
the United States will demand money COM
pensauon. They all concede that the
Spanish flag has gone forever from Cuba
and Porto Rico.
The question of the future of the Philip
pine Islands Is universally admitted as
presenting grave difficulties, owing to the
impossibility of granting independence
The general opinion Is that the United
States win retain coaling station and
have a reversion in the Islands
The Daily News says. 1T would be en-
act of extreme generosity to leave Spain
in possession of the Philippines but gem
efosity often is not the best policy If
the United States should be content with
such a reward of its labors as would leave
the Philippines to Spain il would set the
world an example of conspicuous mag
nanimlty."
The Daily Chronicle thinks that some
kind of International protectorate over
the Philippines should be arranged
The Daily Mail says: I'VE hope Presi-
dent Mckinley will be moderate. Cuba
Porto Rico and the Philippines should be
ample compensation without indemnity"

Havana, July %, 6 p m.-The following
is the official report made to-day of the
engagement between Spanish forces ond
the American marines on Saturday, July
q, near Bahia Honda, sixty-five miles west
of Havana, on the north coast of the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio:
ION July q Senor Manzanal, Mayor of
Bahia Honda, left the town about sun
rise, with forces of all arms, proceeding
in northerly direction toward Manimani
creek and Gobernadora beach, to the west
of the entrance of the bay on which the
town OF Bahia Honda Is situated.
'1t had been reported that American
ships had been seen there the day before
Friday).
"On arriving the Spanish forces opened
an artillery and musketry fire. compelling
the American ship In the offing to with
draw, with several losses on board. OF
the landing party four were killed, among
them a lieutenant, as was ascertained
from documents on his person.
"Our troops also sank the boat used In
the landing with eight men, and captured
one new Remington, a bordan and hum
dred cartridges. The Spanish losses were
three slightly wounded"
The censor will not allow the transmits
sion of news as to this engagement yester-
day.
The foregoing dispatch corroborates ad-
vices from Madrid to the Associated Press
Monday night, which said that a private
dispatch from San Juan de Porto Rico re-
ported the appearance of a strong Ameri-
can squadron before Bahia Honda and the
repulse of an American landing with con-
siderable loss.
