In Memoriam.

On Feb. 18th, 1908, Lucia, only
daughter of j. H. and Mary Thorn
ason Hazelrigg, of Plum, KY. was
called TO her eternal rest. This
beautiful and gifted girl has gone
in the glorious promise of young
womanhood' like beauteous vision
of the dawn robed in the sunshine s
brilliant beams.
Day by day we erceived the
love light fading, fading from her
beauteous eyes, the soft cheek los
ing It's bloom, and, as star beam,
she faded away from earth. Why
should this sweet human flower
droop and wither when the loved
ones of home and many friends
were gladdened by her pure exis-
tence? AS we pluck from the flow
er garden It's brightest flowers,
just so our Father gathers our
choicest ones and transplants them
in the eternal garden, there to
bloom in celestial beauty neV err
again to be chilled by the winds of
earth's bleak shores. The trans
planting of this pure meek spirit
into the garden of Immortality fills
the soul with unspeakable agony,
yet we know that when the mists
of earth have cleared away, many
of life's mysteries will be revealed
We know that christianity can rob
death of its sting. Valuable be-
yond computation is that religion
which permits the mother TO be
hold her child happy among those
surrounding the throne of God.
Her character, as a christian,
was unusual in one so young. New
er in the hours of suffering did
she forget to gently fold her hands
across the feverish face and petit
ton her Heavenly Father to spare
her young life. Death was robbed
of its terrors with those who looked
upon the lovely form of Louells,
arrayed for the tomb. Like a bride
bedecked for the altar she seemed,
in a gown of white alpaca and silk
Loving friends strove earnestly to
comply with her every request, that
the burial be emblematic of the
beautiful snow beneath which we
laid her.
To father, mother and brothers
'She hath gone in the springtime of life,
| Ere her sky had been dimmed by a CLOUD,
| While her heart with the rapture Of love wa
| yet rife,
| And the hopes OF her youth were unbowed-
From the lovely who loved her too well,
| From the heart that had grown to her own,
From the sorrow which late DER her young
| spirit fell,
Like a dream of the night she hath flown.

side tended to elucidate the hideousness
 of this measure." MT. Carmack contended that 1t was le-
 gitimate to adopt obstructive tactics at
 this late day on a bill of such import ance.
 MT Aldrich said that in the midst of the torrents of resentment, Mir. Carmack's re-
 mark was refreshing There is none of | us here,' he said, being deceived by what Is being done" It Is a great misfortune to the business
 interests of the country. | MT. Aldrich said he knew 1t was ap-
 parent that Senators who were intending
 to talk the financial bill to death were | doing so because he and others who | thought with him assisted in defeating | another measure, the Statehood bill They are trying to punish us and punish
 the country he continued He said the
 bill was not prepared outside the Finance
 Committee, and that 1t was a simple | business proposition. Tt was an entire surprise to me" he | said, and if the bill is defeated. the ! country should know who is responsible | for the defeat"

He thea reiterated his former statements that priscrers of war had been murdered in the Philippines, and said that they had gone unanswered.
 When Mir Carmack had concluded, MT. Aldrich asked that the amendments to the bill be reported to the Senate. MT. Du- bois made the point of no quorum.
 At 5:40 the Senate went into executive session, and at 6 oc clock took recess un- til s p. m.
 At the opening of the night session, MT. Mason presented the conference report on the postoffice appropriation bill which was agreed to.
 House bill providing for delegate to the House of Representatives from Porto Rico in lieu of a commissioner, was laid before the Senate A substitute was of fered by Mir Foraker, providing for the appointment by the President of the three commissioners, whose duty shall be to make careful investigation into the titles and claims of the Holy Roman Catholic Church in Porto Rico and the United States to certain property there, to make findings and conclusions and to report 10 the President The substitute also pro- vides that Porto Ricans may be natural fixed.
 MT. Foraker explained that at present Porto Ricans were worse off than aliens.
 On objection by Mir Tillman, the bill went over until tomorrow.
 A Senate bill was passed to provide for the appointment of a district judge for the Western Judicial District of South Carolina.
 The conference report on the agricul- toral appropriation bill was agreed to.

 MT. McLaurin (Miss)) wanted a bill passed. whereupon Mir. Aldrich remarked that as 1t was a Senate bill it could not possibly become law
