Queen OF virtues and lovely star in
the crown of life, II is "a bright and
glorious image of Him who is love.
How beautiful IL il in a woman's
heart. A woman without benevo-
lence liz not IA woman. she Is simply n
deformed personality OF womanhood.
In every heart there are many tenden
cies TO selfishness, but the spirit OF
benevolence counteracts them all. A
hollow, cold, graceless, ungodly thing
is heart without benevolence. In a
world like this where We are all so
needy and dependent where our in
terests are all so interlocked, where
our lives and hearts overlap each
other, and often grow together, we
cannot live without a great deal of
benevolence. Our true earth life is
a benevolent one and our highest in
terests are In the path of benevolence.
We do most for ourselves when we do
most for others. 1T is more blessed
TO give than to receive" Good deeds
double In the doing and the larger
half comes back to the door. a large
heart of charity is a noble thing. The
most benevolent soul lives nearest to
God. Selhshness is the root of evil,
and benevolence is It's cure. In no
heart IL benevolence more beautiful
than in the heart of youthful woman
and in no heart is selfishness more
ugly To do good is noble. but to be
good is nobler. This should be the
aim of all young men. The cor and
needy should occupy large place in
their hearts. The sick and the suf-
fering should move on their sympa-
thies. The sinful and criminal should
awaken their deepest pity. The op-
pressed and down-trodden should find
place In their compassion. How
blessed Is woman on errands of mer-
cy, how sweet are her consoling words
TO the disconsolate, how consoling her
tears Of sympathy to the mourner,
how fresh her spirit OF hope to the
discouraged, how soft her hand to the
sick. how balmy her breath OF love to
the oppressed. Woman appears In one
OF her loveliest aspects when she APP
pears as one of the practical followers
OF Him who went about doing good.
The young woman who does these
works OF practical benevolence is edu-
nting her moral powers in the school
OF glorious and earnest life and she is
laying the foundation for nobler and
useful womanhood. She is planting
the seeds OF a charity that VIII grow

January 10, 1883 Her childhood and
Womanhood were spent on the farm,

life as pure as the air she breathed,
and was as pleasant and cheerful as a
summers morn. All who knew her
sought her presence. She was a duti-
full and obedient daughter, a kind and
affectionate sister, and loving and
sympathetic friend. She saw no one
in trouble that she did not comfort;
no one bereaved on whom she did not
bestow a healing sympathy; and no
one cheerful that her presence did not
make the more cheerful. She was de-
mure in ways but sweet in character;
slow to censure but quick to praise.
She was member OF the NJ. Il.
Church at Blaine, KY, uniting with
that church about four years ago; and
Christians life.
In April 1912 she moved with her
parents to Jenkins There she met
and welded Mr.. Fairchilds. They had
been married less than year when
she departed this life. She died June
~, 1914, aged rs years, months and
day. She leaves husband, father
and mother, two sisters and four
brothers to mourn their loss. She was
buried in the beautiful little cemetery
near Plain City, Ohio, where her hus-
band and she lived since going to that
state She there had made friends
who, as testimony of their friendship,
contributed lavishly with floral offer

About three thousand five hundred

ATTITUDE OF THE CoNSTlTU.
TIONALISTS CHIEF QUESTION
NOW CONFRONTING WASHING
TON ADMINlST STRATloN.

Washington, April 24.--The posi-.
BILE effect OF the movement of land
troops to Vera Cruz, and to the
Mexican border and a renewal Of the
embargo on arms upon the attitude
OF the constitltionalists was one OF
the chie1 questions confronting the
Washington administration today.
1t was realized tnat upon the atti.
tude of the constitutionalist leaders
to a great extent, hinged the scope OF
American operations in Mexico. In
the meantime officials also werr ap.
Iparently without information as to
the intentions of Huerta.
Rumors persisted that General
Mas, who evacuated Vera Cruz at
the coming Of the Americans, would
attack the city.
One encouraging feature was the
apparent friendiness Of General vii.
la. In an interview with American
Consular Agent Carothers yesterday
at Juarez, Villa said he had no inten.
tion of allowing any one to draw him
INTO a war with the United States.
Considerable uneasiness continued
over the rumors OF anti-American
demonstrations in .Aexico City and
Ensenda, on the west coast. The
arrival Of the gunboat San Diego
at the latter city within a few hours
is expected to afford relief there.
Ali Of the departments Of govern.
ment are Immediately concerned in
the Mexican situation. This was eyi-
dent from the much activity early
today. In the meantime members CT
congress are giving the closest at
tention to developments and 1t is
considered not improbable that ac-
ton bearing on the situation may be
taken by congress.
The embargo in force today against
arms and ammunition all along the
Mexican border was a military meas
ure taken by the war department.
1t was declared as a part Of opera
tions Of the army and navy. No ac-
tion by the state department was In
volved. The embargo will be enforced
by the entire military organization
along the border.

the Charleston and Savannah clubs.
He will more than likely work this
afternoon.

batted 300 in the Carolina associa-
tion, has also been Sc ured and will
arrive this morning Reese will act
as second catcher and will do most
of the work while Pierre is recovering
| from his accident and Schuman is
getting in shape. The association is
also after one or two other men, but
| they realize that the weakness has
been In the pitching and catching de-
partments of the game, and they have
started out to first remedy that trou-
BILE. With the securing of these two
players 1t is believed that they have
materially strengthened the cub, $
they both come to Brunswick highly
recommended.
Five of the six games that the
Pilots have lost has been due entirely
to the poor pitching, theoid staff not
having been in condition.
The changed lineup this afternoon
will unquestlonably strengthen the
