In Memoriom.

AtBellevue, La, April 10, 1903,
at half-past 5 o'clock, Friday af-
ternoon, there passed from this
life into the "sweet beyond" the
pure, gentle spirit of one of earth s
noblest characters, Daniel Preston
Howell, youngest child of r. B.
Howell and Mary Tarver, aged
% years, l month and 81 days.
He was a just young man, hon.
orable, straight forward and con-
scientious in all his daily walk and
talk, and the great patience and
submission with which he bore his
Affections for several years, was a
marked characteristic of his noble
nature.
Just in LIES prime, before Time
had Swallowed or wrinkled his
youthful brow, his body has fallen,
but his brave spirit has crossed the
wAiling river. The hour of death
found him trusting in his Redeem
er, and he 'spassed through the
shadow of death" fearing no evil.
Dan was known and esteemed
by many, and in his death his
acquaintance have lost a true
friend, his brother and sister a
faithful and affectionate brother,
and his mother a dutiful and de-
voted son.
How sad to give him up, but
Oh, what q blessed thought, what
consolation to mothers heart,
to know her child has only passed
away to dwell with Jesus and the
angels!
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe from corroding care,
Same from the worlds temptations,
Sin cannot harm him there"
A FRIEND.

British Political Crisis Grows
Intense.
FOUR CABINET POSTS NOW VACANT
Speculation Regarding Premier Bal
fOur's Appointments the Alb
sOrbing Theme In London
Press and Gossip.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-LOrd Balfour of
Burleigh, secretary for Scotland. and
Arthur Ralph Douglas Elliot, financial
secretary to the treasury, have resigned
and their designations have been ac-
cppted by the king. Mr.. Elliot was not
in the cabinet. These two designations
make a total of four vacant cabinet
posts and one secretaryship at Mr.. Bal
tours disposition.
! The political crisis is still the sole
tonic of discussion in the United King
dom. Premier Balfour is expected to
have an audience of King Edward at
Balmoral, after which, doubtless, he
will present the nominations for the
| cabinet vacancies. The exact nature of
these appointments still continues a
matter of varied surmise. Regarding
the eventual result of the upheaval the
| Spectators forecast, that Mr.. Balfour
when he appeals to the country will be
beaten and succeeded by a Rosebery
cabinet. which will not last long, at
tracts the greatest attention.
1t is learned from an authoritative
source that Mr.. Balfour expects Mr..
Chamberlain to re-enter the cabinet In
the event that an appeal to the country
returns Mr.. Balfour to power. Both de-
| sire, however. that the elections be
postponed as long as possible in order
to give Mr.. Chamberlain the opportuni-
ty to impress his views on the people.
If the government is returned, or if n
weak Liberal ministry is returned in
| power only ii short time, Mr.. Balfour
| anticipates that he and Mr.. Chamber
lain will reorganize a new ministry.

the present opportunity to carry out his

public man in England with a definite

his ambition. In case of the success at
