Executive Activities ln
 South and Central America

What the administration regarded as the crowning feature of q year of con- structive craftsmanship touching the public interest along numerous lines of action in the various executive depart ments was the spectacular south Amer ican journey of Secretary of State Root. At Rio JaneirO he was received with marked distinction by the Brazil ian government and by the members of the pan American congress. To all he bore testimony to the good will of the United States government and to the absence of any ambitious designs for territory or conquest.
 When after election the president made his three days personal fnspec- tion of the great iSthmian canal work he was nightly pleased with what had been done. It was the first time that the chief executive had left American territory. The new commission ap- pointed JULY consisted of Messrs. Shonts, Stevens. Magoon, Hains, Endi- colt and Harrod. It came to the con clusion that it would be advisable to
 
 laborers on the canal and that it would not be practicable to apply the eight hour regulation to the canal zone. On his return voyage the president visited Porto Rico

 Whether you consider that labor has got its full share of prosperity or not. 1t is fact that in nearly every indus try wages have been advanced during the past year, sometimes on demand Of the unions and sometimes voluntarily by employers. The dread of great miners strike which disturbed the business public when the year was young became acute in the lndianapo- lis conference of soft coal operators and miners FEB. 26, when the opera LOTS IcIuScu tue UcIiiduu OL tAC AuCA for twelve and Il half cent increase. At this point President Roosevelt ap- pealed to both sides to get together, and when Robbins. the Pittsburg oper- ator, agreed to q per cent increase 1t was only matter of time when all Of the soft coal men had come to terms OH the compromise of o.55 increase for

DEATH OF MRS. HOLDER.
A Good Woman of Near Sardis En-
tiers Upon the Long Sleep.

A Good Woman of Near SardiS En-
tiers Upon the Long Sleep.
On the 10Th of August the death an
gel entered the home of Mr.. B. H.
Holder and took from him his beloved
wife, Mamie. She fingered on
bed of Affections for several weeks,
and bore it so patiently that it was
not thought the end was so near
until few days before her death.
Mrs. Holder was "a years old at the
time of her death.
She has gone from her dear ones
her baby and her husband. 0, God!
how strange and mysterious are Thy
ways to take this loved one N the best
of her days. How bright, GLAD and
beautiful is this world, fragrant with
the odor of flowers, tuneful with the
songs of birds, respondent with the
glories of earth, and sea and sky; and
vet its attractions now are, no doubt,
unnoticed, for mercileSs Death has APP
peared in our midst. The sky is hung
with black and sOmber and cloudy
curtains: the vision is O'ercast with
the gloom of sorrow, and every sound
that strikes the ears has in it a ca
dence of dispair. The only consOla-
ton that is vouchsafed is the sweet
realization that our beloved one is at
rest. The one upon whom was lavish
ed affections is now in that land
where the wicked cease from troub-.
ling and the weary are at rest. Alas!
how many homes have felt the shadow
of the sable wings of the Death angel
hover over them. How many hearts
have been touched how many fond
hopes have been blasted as his mercl-
less dart was leveled at some loved
one, and they were borne from our
midst. How many jewels in earthly
caskets have been claimed by the Mas
ter to be pure in golden settings near
His throne "where moth nor rust cor
rupteth not"
Mrs. Holder remains were inferred
in Sardis cemetery, there to rest until
the great resurrection morn.
To the dear ones who are left be-
hind she will be a reckoning angel 10
the brighter, better hand.
Peace be still thy aching heart
No longer grieves and mourns;
Dear NAMES gone, ne'er to part
With those around the throne
Her soul has now taken its flight
To mansions of glory above
TO bask in ineffable light,
And dwell III the kingdom OF love.
Her friend. JESSIE B. WARD.
