FEARED IT'S EFFECT.
Why the British Ministry Vetoed the
Kings Projected Visit to Ireland.


Kings Projected Visit to Ireland.
London, March 1S.-The official an
nouncemeRt of the abandonment of
the proposed visit of King Edward and
Queen Alexandra to Ireland, whereby
the ministers assume the responsible
tty for an imperial boycott, is quite
unprecedented in form and causes
keen discussion, the general tone of
which is distinctly adverse to the &C
ton OF the cabinet, which is interpret
ed as displaying petty spite and
spleen. The comment of the minister.
tal organs, that the decision arrived
at was due to the outburst of some of
the Irish members in the house of
commons when the news OF the disas-
ter TO General Methuen's column was
communicated to that house, is declar-
cd by hostile critics to be obviously
false, as 1t was announced weeks ago
that the visit would be postponed. The
critics also assert that there seems
good reason to believe that their
majesties themselves all along desired
to carry out the coronation visit
The Dublin Freeman's Journal says:
There was immfnnt danger that the
kings visit might have converted him
to home rule or confirmed his existing
conviction. Therefore the ministers in
their own interest and in the inter
est OF unionism. have forbidden the
visit"

Protracted Meeting in the
Presbyterian Church.

Several months ago all the Pas
tors ofthe churches in town united
in the proposition to have Union
Meeting, but the Methodist evan
gelist whom they called could not
come. For several weeks the Pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church has
been in correspondence with Rev.
j. ii. Hopper, one of the most eff
cient evangelists of Ky. He has
at last promised to come and to
begin the meeting next Wednes-
night. This should be hailed with
JOY by all who have at heart the
spiritual interests of our churches
and town. This effort is intended
not for the Presbyterian Church
alone, bat for the salvation Of souls
and the revival of Christians, re-
CARELESS of their church connec-
tions and for the extension of our
Redeemer! Kingdom! Let us lose
sight of our UNCONVENTIONAL lives
and unite as one in prayer and
work for the rescue of the perish
ing and abundant blessings upon
all our churches. Mr.. Hopper is
most highly commended by some
of the most prominent ministers of
Kentucky. The Lord has crowned
his labors with large ingatherings
at Lexington, Millersburg and Car
Isle within the last two months.
But let US not depend upon an arm
of flesh. 1t is the Lords work and
He alone can perform it. And SO
let us look to Him in faith for the
blessings which He has vouchsafed
to, and conditioned upon, united
prayer and faithful efforts. All the
Pastors and Christians of every
name are cordially exhorted to
unite in prayers and labors for the
cause of our Savior and Lord.
The meeting will be continued for
about two weeks,

Two severe and overwhelming
reverses for the British forces in
South Africa is the record of the
past two weeks. These were not
small affairs where the casualties
could be counted by dozens, but
took on the proportions of serious
conflicts in which the losses ran in
to the many hundred. In the fight
in the last of February the British
loss is conceded by Kitchener to
have been nearly TOO. In the later
fight, reported on March 10, the
loss was fully as great in numbers,
and besides included some of the
most important officers in the Brit
ish South African army. These
two defeats. one so quickly follow
ing another, will stimulate the
Boer cause everywhere, and give
vigor and determination to those
sturdy yeoman yet in the field
fighting for their homes and their
independence to continue their
just and righteous war. Gen. Me-
thuen, one of the greatest of the
British Generals in Africa was
wounded and captured in the last
fight. Every lover of freedom
throughout the world feels happy
over these British defeuts.-Park-

OBITUARY.

| tOduSS dIhSHeOus OuuOhr, Tut
oldest son and second child of JOS
and Mary Dunbar. was born a
Amesville, Ohio, Nov. 26, 1862
died Feb. %. 1902,
Here he spent the first Is years
of his life. Leaving the home oil
his parents, he selected railroad
carpenter work as his choice OF
life's occupations, and this he fol-
lowed until within few weeks OF
his death. After spending a short
time with the Toledo & Ohio Gen.
trail, and at Pittsburg. he engaged
with the Ohio River Railroad OF
West Virginia, in whose employ
he has risen to place of trust and
responsibility.
AS a proof of their confidence
and appreciation Of his worth to
them. they had retained him since
he came to them Is years ago, and
had willingly given him all the nec.
essary leave of absence his falling
health required.
To those superior to him in po-
sition he had endeared himself as a
man whose judgment, integrity
and faithfulness were valued and
trusted at all times.
By those men under him he. was
regarded with the utmost respect
even love.
The greater part of the time his
headquarters had been in and near
Point Pleasant, W. Va, which had
become second home to him.
He had also been prominent in
Masonry, and had recently had the
32d degree conferred upon him by
the Wheeling Lodge.
All these associations had brought
him in contact with great many
people, and whoever he met, wher-
ever he went, he left true friends.
To know him was to honor and
love him. His warm heart drew
people to him. His disposition
was rare one; so kind and thought
full of others, scattering charity
with liberal hand-always inter-
ested in those about him. But to
none was he so devoted and dear as
to his own family circle, where
there is vacancy which can never
be filled-but memory which will
be pleasure and comfort.
He fully realized his approach
ing end, and often expressed him
self as ready and willing to go.
When he reached the home of his
brother in Parkersburg, Feb. 23d.
wearied with the effort of the long
and tedious journey from Hot
Springs, Ark, he had only strength
enough when placed upon the bed
to offer in whispers a prayer of
gratitude to his Savior, who had
spared his life that his last hours
might be among those he loved.
In Gods goodness and mercy he
was permitted to live two days after
reaching home at Amesville. Look
ing about on the familiar scenes
and faces, he said, "All is we'll; L am
at home" Thoughtful of others
to the last. his beautiful DISPOSE
ton and care of others, manifested
itself in his weakness and suffer.
ing. Never a word of complaint
but always gratitude. With rare
patience and fortitude he bore all.
He leaves a father, one brother,
five sisters and host of friends to
mourn his death. Rev. Geo. Miller,
of Hamden, preached the sermon
from the text, I'm all their afflict-
ions he was afflicted" after which
the Masonic order of this place
took charge.
