One OF the most ancient of islands, and

would wipe out the island Of Philac the
lovelicst spot on the Nile, there was
universal howl of opposition. This got
to such height that Sir w. Garstin and
his engineers may have felt a grim kind
of relief when they found that the
French would allow them no money from
the Caisse to realize their scheme for
storing the blessed water. and they had
for a time to abandon the whole affair.
SO when, one fine morning, John Arid,
Sir Benjamin Baker and their friends
unexpectedly called at the Office OF works
in Cairo and offered to make any amount
Of dams, canals and locks wherever they
pleased, for no present cash payment in
accepting their wonderful offer the gov

In Memoriam.

ia Memoriam.
A tribute to the memory OF Mrs. G.. L.
Lord, who died at the home OF her daugh-
ter, Mrs. j. G. Lewis, on Wednesday,
April 25, 19O0,and whose burial took place
on Friday evening, April q, from st.
Marks church, Rev. A. q. Harrison OFF,
eating, the remains being laid at rest in
Lakeside cemetery by the side OF the chill
dren who have gone before.
Mrs. Lord, formerly Hannah Converse
Parish, was born in Randolph, Vermont,
Septem Der %, 1892. She came TO Waupaca,
Wisconsin, in September, 1855, and was
married March 4, 1856, by the RI. Rev.
Bishop Kemper, her home having been
10 this city since.
In the death OF Mrs. Lord Waupaca has
lost not only one OF its Oldest and most
respected citizens, bat one hose influence
for good has long been recognized by the
best element of the whole community.
She was active in every good work, her
time and means were freely given to pro-
mote the we'll being OF society and aid the
unfortunate within the sphere OF her ac-
dCaintance.
Her activity in church, temperance and
all good works has been felt and appre-
ciated, and her influence has been source
OF great benefit in all religious circles.
For many years she was very much OF an
invalid and yet with brave, almost heroic
determination she has performed her part
overwhelmingly and few realized with
how much pain; she bore up and perform
ed all her duties as wife and mother, and
as an active me mber of the society in
which she moved. She had her full share
OF the sorrows and disappointments OF
life, and vet when the clouds were heav-
lest over her heart and home, she kept
M a cheerful, hopeful spirit, which
brought sunshine and good cheer to her
loved ones, and made that home an at
trsctiye spot to the husband and children
and TO ali her many friends who enjoyed
her boundless hospitality. During her
whole life sympathies went out so strong
lv for the poor and unfortunate, that she
seemed to carry and lessen the sorrows
and Affections OF those who sought her
aid and counsel. To the discouraged she
inspired hope and confidence, and to the
erring she pointed out the better way.
Yes, she will be sadly missed by all who
knew her. Her aged and invalid hus-
hand will listen in vain for her quicken
ed footsteps at his call, and the tender
words Of encouragement to her children
will only come in the sweet memories OF
what has been.
A more devoted wife, kind, thoughtful
and indulgent mother could not well be
Imagined. No sacrifice was too great,
no self-denial too heavy for her motherly
love, when the welfare OF her children
was involved. She fully realized she was
nearing the end of LIES journey. Among
her last thoughts were her obligations
TO the church and guild OF which she was
a devoted member, and from which she
was never absent except when severe III
