The w. q. N. Society.

At the afternoon in-gathering
of June 18th, the few who were
present showed no slack in energy
of interest, or lack OF Christi
giving love, which ever preserves
the unity of thought and purpose
for the cause, bringing harmony
and pleasure to the work.
After devotional exercises, a
touching account was read OF a
Missionary family in China who
fled for their lives, and finding no
escape, turned back to meet the
mob and death, and lived. From
it we gather new trust. "1f God
be for US, who can be against us. "
This meeting closed the second
quarter, and surely God has bless
ed our small efforts done for His
glory.

ming April 1st, reads:

This 10 decision Of the past week All
Of the stationery of the White House
has been changed and where the words
Executive Mansion" have been used
"White House" has been substituted.
One of the United States Senators who
was invited to dinner at the White
House during the week remarked In.

yitation had read white House, while
preyious invitations received during the
life of President Mckinley had read

Died in Penury.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. IA strang
er who died at the Holy Cross Hospital,
this city, last Monday from pneumonia,
has been identified as G. 0. De Forest
an aspayer Of national reputation, a
mechanical and mining engineer, a
chemist, student and heir to large
fortune. His father, who was New
York business man, had always been
liberal regarding money matters with
his only son. The father died and the
young mans mother reduced him to an
allowance when she died two years ago,
placing her sons share OF 5000, 900 es.
tate in trust. The will provided that he
was to receive only the interest for two
years. At the end of that period tho
entire fortune was to be at his disposal
Heir to a fortune though he was. his last
extremity found him almost pcnniless
Had he lived only thirty days more he
would have been rich man and hiH
widow would have come into possession
of his wealth without question or con-
troversy. As matters now stand, there
are great possibilities OF litigation over
the fortune. There is provision in tho
will that in case OF his death before the
payment OF the trust the fortune should
revert to De Forests two sisters, Mrs.
Dooley and Mrs. Colburn, both of New
York.
