Mrs. Mary T. Button died at her resi-
dence in this place on Friday morning
last, in the S5th year of her age, the i'm
mediate cause of her death being a stroke
of apoplexy received last Wednesday,
Mrs. Dutton was the eldest daughter of
Rev. DF. Wm NJ. and Mrs. Rebecca B.
Atkinson. In Isi7 she married Rev. DR..
w. p. Dutton, pastor of the Charles
Town Presbyterian Church for nearly
quarter of century, who died in 1874.
They had no children. Mrs. d. was one
OF the most retiring of women, Astounding
IN christian charity OF the sort that lets
not ttis left hand know what the right
hand doeth. Her christian life was a
thing of beauty. AT the tir.le Of the great
and disastrous flood at Harper's Ferry
when her husband was then pastor of the
Presbyterian church, her heroism in res
cuing her servants, her husband. and
herself last, from house almost denol-
isl,ed by the torrent of waters, gave her
much local celebrity, but made chapter
in her life to which she never liked to re-
fer. Her charities to the needy were con-
slant, and large for her means. but many
of those persons who received never saw
the hand that relieved them. Mrs. Eliza
Perry, Mrs. ~. c. Hopkins and Miss Car
RE Atkinson, of this place, and Mrs Juliet
a. McCaw and Judge William Atkinson,
OF Winchester, are her sisters and brother.
Funeral services were held in the Pres
byterian church Saturday afternoon, and
were conducted by Rev. DR.. ]. R. Ora
ham. OF Winchester, who was her hus-
bands friend and her own friend foT
many years, Rev. DR.. c. N. Campbell
participating. Interment in EDGE Hill
cemetery.

A PARALLEL.-A correspondent of a
Boston paper calls attention to the sim
iliarity of conditions in Hayti and the
Philippines and the failure of England
and France to conquer the Haytians.
Both have a tropical climate, deadly to
the white races, the great difference
being that the Philippines are about four
times as large as Hayti. The English,
says LilC SOl1CSllOnSlClllY III lIVta liz
vaded Hayti and left It in 1898, after los.
ing 500. 900. 600 in expenses and $4,000
lives. The first Napoleon then under
took to acquire control. In February,
1902, he landed 1000 French veterans
in Hayti, and in the fall of that year he
sent 10. 600 more. The French speedily
oyerran the island, but were in turn con-
quered by the climate. In 1903 Napoleon
abandoned the island, after having lost
thTee-fourths of his troops. The strongest
naval power in the world and the strong
est military power were thus successfully
beaten-not so much by the Haytians as
by the climate. Both powers were too
sensible to persevere after they saw the
nature of the contest they had engaged
in. They were content to "haul down
that flag after it had once been hoisted, y
because it was folly to persevcre. 1t re-
mains TO be seen whether our imperialists
will be as wise. Our soldiers in the Phil
ippines already complain of the climate,
but it will become still more deadly as the
year advances and their constitutions are
more and more enfeebled. Deaths are
already numerous, but it is to be feared
that the worst is yet to come.
