Mrs. Maria L. Rabbit.

This good woman exchanged worlds on
F. bruary 80, 1900, having dwelt away IRON
her eternal home for nearly GO years. The
call was sudden, but found her long since
ready. She was baptized on a profession
of faith in Jesus Christ, by Pastor John
Teasdale, in the Spring OF 1881. Like every
single one whom God eternally elected to
everlasting life, (Ephes. 1:4,5,6) she had to
endure the discipline which fits for living,
and bore the marks of that Christening which
is the assurance of adoption. (Hebs. 1876. J

DRY was embalmed in large heart, full of
love then, the darling boy, on whom she
leaned, from which last blow she never re-
covered. She was very generally and highly
esteemed for virtues most valued by those
who best knew her. The regard in which
she was held was strikingly manifested by
the attendance at her funeral, on the bitterest
day of the Winter, February %, OF large
and sorrow stricken congregation, many
coming from distant points on that terrible
day.
Complying with her request, the writer
preached her funeral sermon, and laid her
body to rest in Mt. Zion cemetery, beside
her son. She was under his care for six
years. From first acquaintance to dissolu.
ton, she was his answering friend. o.,

For Hon. Blair Lee as Delegate to the
Democratic National Convention.
Editor Sentinel:

Editor Sentinel:
The National Democratic Committee hav-
ing met and fixed time and place for the
next National Convention, the time has ar
rived for us to consider what part the De-
mocracy OF Montgomery county Is to take
in the selection of delegates to that conven-
ton.
There can be no doub; of the fact that
large majority OF the Democrats OF this coun-
try are favorable to the nomination OF Mr..
BRYAN, and the re adoption of the Chicago
platform of 1896, and that they indorse the
position OF Mr.. Bryan upon Imperialism,
trusts, and other questions which have arisen
within the last four years, which will be
considered in the formation OF the Demo-
cratic platform OF l9OO.
The question before us then is how can
the wishes of our people be properly record
ed at home, and what steps can be taken TO
ba We them represented in the National Con-
vention at Kansas City in July. In answer
| would saw. let the Democrats oil this coun'
tv advocate the selection of delegate 10 the
National Convention from this Congression'
nj district who is proven by his record to
renresent the wishes Of majority OF the
Democrats of the county upon these ques-
tons.
The Hon. Blair Lee, OF this county, meets
every requirement. -Four years ago, when
MIR. BRYAN was making his great fight In be-
half of these principles, Mr.. Lee was noml'
mated for Congress in this district, when
there was no chance for election oil Dem
ocrat. IL Is well known that he accepted
the nomination because he was heart and
soul in favor OF the principles OF the Chicago
platform, and thought he could do more To-
wards the election Of Democratic Presl'
dent az our congressional nominee than In
any other capacity Well do the people OF
the Sixth Congressional district know the
gallant fight he made against heavy odds In
behalf of principles. He spared neither time
nor means in his efforts to 80 keep down the
Republican majority In this district that the
electoral vote of the State might De saved
To Bryan. The eternal fitness Of Things sug
gests Mr.. Lee as our delegate. Let the Dem
ocrats of every election district in the coun
ty select delegates 10 the county convention
who will vote for delegates 10 the State con-
yention pledged to advocate Mr.. Lees selec-
tion. If this is done, Mr.. Lee will probably
be selected, as he is well known and person.
ally popular throughout the district, and
Montgomery county being the only safe
Democratic county in the district Is entitled
10 this consideration.
wish TO say that have not consulted
Mr.. Lee in regard TO the above, and that he
knows nothing Of 1t, or about the matter
Furthermore, as an earnest advocate OF the
Chicago platform, from the date Of its adop
ton to the present time, do not think Mr..
Lee should be consulted about it. lie is in
position TO be OF particular service TO his
party at this time, and, Judging from his
record, when he recognizes that fact am
sure he will respond TO the call Of duty.

Edward b. DOrsey.-Edward Bates
Dorsey, civil mining engineer, died in a
hospital in London, England, February 6,
Of cancer of the throat, after long illness,
aged SO years. He was buried in London.
Mr.. Dorsey was the son of Richard Brooke
Dorsey, and left two brothers-Vernon Dor
sey and Richard Brooke Dorsey, both of
Washington city, and sister, Miss Cor.
nelia Dorsey, of Baltimore.
Mr.. Dorsey's life was very adventurous
and romantic one. He was born in this
county and went to Baltimore as boy and
stayed there until he was 81 years of age,
studying civil engineering in the meanwhile.
He went from Baltimore to Peru, South
America, and was first employed in con-
structing the aqueduct to supply water to
the city of Payta One of the periodical
revolutions of Peru caused him to move to
Chile, where he went into mining and made
a fortune. He was there during the war be-
tween Chile and Peru. A few years before
the Civil War he went to California, and
during that war was in Carson City, New,
as engineer for the Silver State Reduction
Works. Mexico and British Columbia were
afterward explored by Mr.. Dorsey, and he
then settled for some years at San Francisco
as mining engineer and broker. In the '70s
he moved to New York, but soon tired of
inaction and went to South Africa, where
he examined mines for large British COM
panies. He had been in London four or five
years before his death, and his friends had
not heard from him for several years. Mr..
Dorsey made immense sums of money in
mining at times, and was a very generous
man. He had been very wealthy at times
without number, but of late years his spec
ulations had been unfortunate

PEACE is DESIRED.

Evidence of a Willingness on the Part of
China to Regin Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-The desire
of China to actually begin peace nego-
tiations was evidenced in dispatch
from Prince Ching, delivered by Min
lister WI to the state department. The
dispatch was dated Peking, Sept. 8, and
in it Prince Ching states that he has
been clothed with full authority, along
with Ii Hung Chang, to- negotiate
for peace. He expresses q desire to
proceed in the matter and asks Minister
WI to submit q request to the secre.
tary Of state to send instructions to
Minister Conger to begin the negotia-
tions at once.
1t is probable that no immediate re-
sponse to the request for instructions
to Minister Conger can be given, as
Prince Ching's request will have to be
laid before the president and sufficient
time given to the consideration Of his
credentials as well as the desirability
Of proceeding at once. Moreover, it is
likely that Minister Conger's Judgment
as to when the actual negotiations
should open will govern to q considera.
Bile extent.
