OBITUARY.


The angel of death has again visited
our town, this time claiming as its victim
Blanche Grant, wife Of Robert Petrie.
Mrs. Petrie was native OF Kilburne, N.
B., and came here as bride. Six children
were born to them, three Of whom are
living. All that kind relatives and friends
could do was done, but OF no avail, and on
Monday last she fell asleep, realizing that
all was we'll.
Deceased was member OF the Metho-
dist church and OF Companion court, and
was buried under the full rites Of the
order on Wednesday, March 30. Rev. c.
A. Purdy spoke words OF consolation to
the bereaved ones. Favorite hymns OF
the deceased were sung: "Going Home, T"
'sRock of Ages" and mo, Not One.
Beautiful flowers from friends and the
orders were in evidence bearing their mes
sage OF love and esteem. Interment was
in the family lot.
When we leave this world of changes,
When we leave this world of care,
We shall find our missing loved ones
In our Fathers mansion fair.

SECOND LETTER

The hotel at Kamakura is very good cue. 1t is on the seaside and is a spleD did summer resort. There were about twenty waitresses, Japanese girls. When the Gluuer bell rings, the girls come into the hall and before going into the dining room you select yoer waitress. Charlie Young tried hard to get me to stay over in Kamakura until next fall. He said he wanted to spend six or eight months at the seaside, and beside India would he too dot by the time we reached it.
 Another thing hate to mention, but it is forced on me: MT. Young has in- dustriously circulated the report amongIny friends that have been fall ing out of houses the same as little boy falls out of a window. 1t is true, but there are two of us. The first time ! was at the Kamakura hotel ] get a flea or some damned thing down my back where ] could not get at it. ] backed up against the wall to rub it of but in less than half minute ] had rubbed myself through the wall and found myself outside. paid the land lord to have the hole patched 0p and forgot the Ching until week later when was sitting on the floor reading about the British Budget, ! forget myself, leaned back against the wall and in minute was rolling on the street. Then there was the night of tke bad earth. quake iu Yokohama and there were tive or three times that Charlie Young shot through the wall while putting on has shoes iR the morning. As there are ne chairs iu the tea hoUses CT rest houses you have to stand up whale putting Gn your shoes You will naturally lean against the wall and if you dc you will go through it quicker than if you sat ca a toy drum. Charlie fell aboat 22 feet one time. 1t did not hurt him, but it made me nervous. But it is painful subject for me and much more so for him, so hope will never hear of it again
 Kamakura was made the capital of Japan in 1I91 by Yorotoma, the first Shogun. As Frank Bach told you, Shogun was man who ruled the coun- try. The emperor, being descended from god, could not mix up with com mon or human affairs such affairs as governing country. Somebody had to do it, consequently the Shogun acted. There was always some influ- ential family who took care that their girls should marry the emperor. The emperor was generally crowned when three or four years old When he reached maturity he was advised to a5- dicate in favor of his little brother or son or nephew if he had any. As he was generally tired of his job he would
