A GOOD WOMAN DEAD.

cumbs to Attack of Pneumonia.

Mrs. Josie Williams, beloved
wife of James Williams, died at
her home Saturday, May l, at z p.
M, of pneumonia. She had been
sick about ten days, and the end
came peacefully. Mrs. Williams
was a good woman and neighbor,
and had many friends who deeply
regret her loss.
She was conscious almost to the
moment of her death, and one by
one she told us goodbye. Her last
words spoken were: II am going
to Heaven" Awhile before her
death she said she wanted to tell
us all about Heaven, but she was
too weak to talk. The dear, sweet
woman prayed to live, but she said,
Goods will be done" Dear ones,
don't grieve, for Josie has gone to
live with God and His angels in
a land where there will be no more
parting and no more goodbyes,
whore you mayjoin her when done
with the trials and cares of life in
this world.
She died at the age Of fifteen,
just in the bloom of womanhood.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Cox, who are bowed in
deep grief. Friends, both old and
young, take heed to her prayers,
and prepare yourself for death be-
fore it is too late. The interment
took place at Shiloh Cemetery at
4 o'clock Sunday afternoon.

BRJT.Iy,s CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS

BRlI IIA' y COASIII JIIOA Al ChISIS.
Indications are row all but indisputable that
the United Kingdom is upon the verge of what
may probably prove TO be the most important
constitutional crisis of our time Our London
correspondent Oh Sunday reported that gem
eral election within the next seven months was
regarded by men of all parties as certain. It
viii be brought about by the action of the
House of Lords when it reaches the budget,
probably next month. The expectation is that
the finance bill will be rejected by the Peers.
not specifically because il imposes a land tax
which is described by its opponents as penal
and Confiscatory, but on the general ground
thar it embodies a new principle of great mo-
ment which should not be enacted without IA
direct mandate from the electorate. That
ground for rejecting the bill is said 10 have
been chosen by Mr.. Balfour, and it is worthy
OF 4 masterful tactican. Even the most radical
of Mr.. Lloyd-Georges supporters would scarcely
deny that the bill does embody a very impor-
tant new principle-in fact, that is not only adj
mitted. put boasted-and it has for many years
been the rule that in such a case a suspenscry
veto by the Peers is proper until a mandate
Is given by the referendum. Mr.. Gladstone
himself conceded that in the case of the Home
Rule bill
The fight viii be waged. then. not over the
right Of the Peers TO reject this particular bill
but primarily over the merits of the bill itself
and over the question whether the new prln-
cple which is embodied In it shall be en-
bodied in the constitution of the kingdom That
question will be answered by the complexion
Of the new House Of Commons. If the Liberals
are again returned 10 power. even if by a
soneW hat diminished majority, the fact will
be taken az a popular approval of the new
principles Of taxation in the present finance
Dlll. and that measure will doubtless be enacted
without further opposition from the Peers
Conversely, If il Unionist majority is returned
the fact will be taken a popular condemna-
ton Of the new tax, and that measure will be
dropped. Il Is quite possible that many Of the
