mains the dominant note of European
comment. No one seems able to recon-
cile the assurances of the imperial
edict with Minister Conger's statement
in his alleged message to Secretary
Hay, that he was in hourly expectation
of death by massacre, though both
documents purport to have been sent
off from Pekin on the same date. 1t is
confidently anticipated, however, that
the mystery will soon be solved, as
all the governments, following the lead
of the United States secretary of safe,
Col. Hay, have taken steps to test the
sincerity of Chinese officialdom, by in
sisting upon free communication with
the ministers.

obituary.

Died, Thursday, September 9th, 1900,
at the home OF her parents near Zillah,
Edith May, eldest daughter Of Arthur
and Nettie Manning, aged Is years and 9
months. Funeral services were held in
North Yakima, ut the home OF Henry
Manning. uncle of the deceased, at 10 q.

lab officiating. The body was inferred
in Tahoma cemetery.
Edith May Manning was born in Wise county,
Texas, March 18th, 1882 When babe of Is
months, her parents brought her to Washington,
where she grew to womanhood in the Wenas
| valley and Ellensburg. She was an apt and de-
voted student in the public schools of the latter
place, and her ambition to complete her work
| there brought on the illness that caused her
death. In the spring of 1899, being anxious to
take the examinations for her graduation from
the grammar school : she returned to her work
when imperfectly recovered from an attack of
measles This caused relapse, which, after a
brief interval of apparent recovery, terminated
in quick consumption. At the age of IL years
she united with the Christian church and he,
earnest, unaffected piety was one of the most
beautiful traits in character of singular love-
illness.
month before the day OF her death was the
time set for her marriage to James Ives of FL
lensburg, who, with her parents and two young
sisters, mourns her untimelv loss.
For the past year the family have lived in the
neighborhood of Zillah, where Edith became
greatly beloved. The beauty of her mind and
person her sunny disposition, and the lovely
patience with which she bore the long months
OF suffering and sought to cheer the anxiety of
the loved ones who watched her decline, have
made an ineffaceable impression upon the
hearts of those who were privileged to minister
to her. The sweetness and purity OF her charac-
ter will long be remembered among us. and in
Vulnerable friends sympathize with those who
miss her loving presence in their home. May
the words of a poet who has suffered such grief
as theirs carry to them the consolation we can
not speak.
"And yet dear heart, remembering thee
Am not richer than of old?
Safe in thy immortality,
What change can reach the wealth hold?
What chance can mar the pearl and gold
Thy love hath left in trust with me?
And while In LIES late afternoon,
Where cool and long the shadows grow,
! walk to meet the night that soon
cannot feel that thou art far,
Since near at need the angels are;
AND when the sunset gates unbar,
Shall not see thee waiting stand
And white against the evening star,
The welcome of thy reckoning hand?"

Tenderness and passion, intensity OF
feeling and beauty of expression. all these
are present in the playing Of the Royal
Marine band of Italy. which played q

musical and these sons OF the country by
the Mediterranean are artists all. Their
playing is q revelation in band music.
