To pause awhile, when such a life
as this goes out, to mourn over broken
ties and vanished hopes, to lament
our loneliness for such a. Christian
character, is necessary to the best and
tenderest feelings of our nature; but
it is our duty also to take up the les
sons of a finished life for we die as
well as live for each other.
Her life was bright with enthusiasm
for what was noble, good and beauti
full, was pure in thought, word, and
deed, was generous, faithful and just.
She was kind, gentle, affectionate, a
true wife and a loving mother. A
good and true Christian.
For years death with his scythe
and icy fingers was almost ready to
grasp her and watt her Ger the Dark
Valley of the Shadow, into that haven
of eternal rest, where no funeral cor
tage will move along the golden
streets, where no doleful funeral dirge
will be sung, that will re-echo from
throne to throne.
The gates were lifted up and an
other spirit passed through INTO yer
lasting JOY and rest from the turmoils
of this life, forever.
Her tolls are past, ner work is done
And she is fully blest;
She fought the fight, the victory
won,
And entered into rest"

Washington, June 1s.-President
Roosevelt has just made to the Chi
nese Empire the most stupendous gift
in the history of the United States or
any government to foreign power.
Through Secretary Root, the Presi-
dent has notified the Chinese minis
ter, Sir Chenung Liang Cheng, that
with the approval OF Congress the
United States will voluntarily relin-
quish the differences between the total
expense and the claims incurred in the
suppression of the Boxer revolution
in 1910, and the amour; which China
agreed to pay the United States in
Satisfaction thereof.
The proposed gift amounts to $27,
100000, which establishes new pre-
cedent for like actions on the part
of the governments of the world. Many
nations demand indemnities far in ex
cess of the expenses and damages ac
tually incurred.
1t is feared in Washington that ia
pan will regard the action of Presiden
Roosevelt as bid for the friendship

ing yesterday afternoon. Supervisor
James Gallagher was named as acting
mayor in his place.
This is the first step by the graft
