Funeral of Ada Adkins.
Last Thursday the funeral of little
Ada Adkins took place from the Bap
tist church in Medford. The crowd of
people who, upon this occasion gath
ered to pay the last sad tribute of love
and esteem, was probably as lurg a
one as ever congregated in our city up
on a similar occasion. Every inch of
seating capacity in the church wm oc
cupied and many were compelled to
stand and none were there through
motives' of curiosity, but all to express
their sympathy for the relatives and
their great regard for the departed
one. Following are the remarks of
Rev. T. H. Stephens at the funeral:
Ada Adkins was born in state of In
diana, April 10, 1S31, and departed this
life at Medford, May 10, 1893, aged
twelve years and one month.
Just a few days ago we were called
upon to give up our dear sister Wald
ron, the oldest member of this church,
and to-day we are here to pay the last
tribute of respect to the remains of our
little sister, Ada Adkins, the youngest
member of our church. Only a few
weeks ago Ada expressed a desire to
Unite with the enurch and be baptized,
though it was known by her parents
and others that for some time she had
been trusting her Savior. She was re
ceived and it was an impressivo fcene
when she obeyed her Savior in baptism.
Ada possessed -an intelligent faith in
Jesus as her personal Savior, and had
a remarkable grasp of the truth for
one so tender Ln years.' She would talk
about Jesus as one would speak of a
personal friend. To her, Jesus was a
real Savior. Not an historical charac
ter, but an ever present, living S.irior.
Since her public profession she has
been very faithful and zealous in chris
tian work. The conversion of her
friends was a desire uppermost ia her
miud. In fact, she seemed to forget'
herself, and was absorbed in anxious
thought for her friends' who were out
ot Christ. She said the day b-'fore her
departure, when questioned about the
possible( results of her disease, ''If I
don't live through it, I shall go aud
bo with Jesus." At anotner time she
said: "I know there is a crown for
me." But in her last talks with the
family, she expressed great concern
for her unconverted friends, and said
she was afraid she would not meet them
in Heaven, unless christians prayed for
them. What an exhortation do we
have ia this earnest christian to pray
for the unsaved! In mission woi k, too,
she was deeply interested. More than
once did she express a desire to pre
pare herself for mission work. The
record of her horl life is full of inspir
ation. Lveryone who knew her, will
be bettor for the fact. A gentleman
said to me yesterday, "No one in town
had more friends than Ada Adkius.''
Her last illness was severe, though of
short duration. In the midst of it all
she possessed great patience and resig
nation. She was prepared to go. Wbile
our hearts are pained, wo can rejoice
that she has gone to a fairer clime
than this. Let us now, one and all,
father, mother, sister and friends, lis
ten to Ada's favorite chapter, the words
of the Psalmist David, "The Lord is
my Shephard. I shall not want lie
maketh me to lie down in green pas
tures; ho leadelh me beside the still
waters; he restoreth my soul; he lead-
eth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake. Yea, though I
walk through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil; for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me. Thou preparest a
table before me in the presence of mv
enemies; thou anointest my Dead with
oil; my cup runneth over. Surely,
goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life, -and I will dwell in
the house of the Lord forever. Thes
words were very precious to Ada. She
had committed them to memory aud
appreciated the truth they contain long
before she was called upon to pass
through tho valley of the shadow of
death. When the summons came she
leaned upon the staff of God, swept out
across the valley of death, into the
paradise of the redeemed. There are
times when silence seems to hold sway
over our minds; times when we would
be alone with God; times when we
would seek the silent grave, and medi
tate upon the sad questions which
crowd themselves upon us; there are
times when we insliuctively turn to the
word of God, and in silence listen to its
inspiringvdec'.aration of consoling truth.
Oh! when the heart is full, when sad
and bitter thoughts come crowding
thickly up for utterance; when the
strong arm of death boars away a loved
one, and leaves the heart mournful and
desolate, bow comforting to step out
on the solid rock of God's most precious
promises, and listen while the External
one Oils and thrills us with his glorious
light and truth. . There are seasons of
sorrow when only God can' comfort;
when only the bulm of Gillead, applied
by hands divine, can help and heal. In
the still hourof death, with the lifeless
remains of ono whom we all loved,
lying before us, let us listen while God
speaks: "If your earthly house of this
tabernacle were dissolved, you have a
building of God, a house not made with
hands, eternal in the heaven."
"Though you may .walk through the
valley of the shadow of deatht you need
fear no evil, my rod and staff, they will
comfort you." "Blessed are the dead
who die In the Lord, from henceforth.
Yea, saith the spirit, thus may rest
from their labors and their works do
follow them." These glprious truths
were Ada's comfort in life and her so
lace in death. As she looked Into the
future s lie said: "The Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not want.1' She loved
and trusted In him who said: "Suffer
the children to come unto me and for
bid them not, for such is the kingdom
of heaven." Nine years ago the rav
ages of scarlet fever attacked he ; and
her death was but the culmination of
that dread disease. How true it is that
our earthly bouse of this tabernacle is
subject to decay and death. With the
flush 0 health radio ut upon the cheek
of youth, the storms of life begin to
beat, and leave their traces as the years
go' by. Alas, for poor, fallen nature!
Death comes sure and soon. To the
old, whose wrinkled face speaks of toil'
and hardships; to the young and beau
tiful who see the roses fading on their
cheek, and age tracing wrinkles on
their ivory brows) to one and all: "Sooa
or late, death knocks at the rich man's
palace and the cottage gate." But as
we stand by the open grave and strive
to pooetrater its vault of darkness; as
we see the form of a loved ono lowered
iuto its resting place. (hero to decay
and return to dust upon what can we
base a hope that this sad scene is not
all, and that here we must say farewell
forever? Alas! where shall we go for
comfort and light? To the Bible we
can go, and its light will dissipate the
gloom that hovers over the grave. In
the language of the distinguished
Guthrie: "Faith steps forward, plants
a triumphant foot on the black grave's
edg, and silencing our fears, dispell
ing our gloom, reconciling us to that
lowly bed. she lifts her cheerful voice
and exclaims: 'True, but what a change
will bethere. Looking through her
eyes, we see' the spell broken. We see
that dust once more animate. And
when the blast of the trumpet pene
trating the caves of the rocks and fell
down in the depths of ocean pierces
the car of death in this dark, and cold,
and lonely bod, where we have lowered
a comn and left the dear form and
sweet face of some loved one. mortal
ity shall ris; in form immortal, more
beautiful than love ev.r faucied o
poet 6ang." "Yea." saitb the word of
God, "this corruptible shall put 03 in
corruptiuo, this mortality shall put on
immoruJiiy." "We have a building
of God. a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens." Death to the
christian, is bdt the gateway to the par
adise of God. A transition from one
clime to another, from a dark one lo a
, bright one; from a sphere where sor
row. slcKness, 'luappointment crowd
around us. to a beautiful home where
joy, health and satisfaction shall be our
portion forever. "We are' to live in a
building of God," "in the house of the
Lord forever," A building whosj beau-
i-ty and glory will never lade; against
wnose walls no storm will ever beat; a
buildiag of God, made after the divine
patera, perfect in all its parts, no de
fect, no blot, a building of God eternal
in the heavens. There it shall remain
forever, the glory of the Redeemer and
the joy of the redeemed. Jesus said:
"In my Father's house are many man
sions. I go to prepare a place for you,
and if I go away I will come again and
receive you to myself, that where I am
there ye may be also. These who die
in the failh haveonly gone on before.
They will bi watching for us. Soon we
shall go to join them la the realms of
the blessed. Shall we' not gather in
spiration from these words of God, and
with the eye of faith piercing the veil
which intervenes between us and th
loved ones gone before, say with the
poet:
There are brighter skies than these ire know,
Laud. when no shadows lie.
Fields when immortal flowers bloom.
And founu thai are ncrerdry.
Thrr are domes where the stars are never dim.
Where the moon forever gleams.
And the music breath ot tbe rmdwnt hills.
Sweep o'er the crystal streams.
And now, in conclusion, let us lean
upon God in this sore affliction. May
his abundant grace be supplied to tne
bereaved family and friends. The de
parted one is 'at rest. Her redeemed
spirit is basking in the joyful sunlight
of the Savior's presence. Let us not
sorrow as those who have no hope, but
let us say: Notour will, but thine, oh
Lord, bb done. While she was with
vou. In sickness and in health, all that
loving hands could do, was done for her
comfort. May the plucking of this ten
der flower, remind us that we too, shall
soon run our course. A few more fleet
ing days and death will come to close
our eyes, still our hearts and stiff en our
forms. May we be prepared to go
when it is ours to sav farewell to earth-
hy scenes, and may we all have the sus
taining grace ol bim who sustainea our
young sister in her short, sweat life.
Trust in the Savior in wbom Ada trus
ted, and he- will moke your dying bed
as soft as downy pillows. H- will dis
pel the gloom of the grave: he will
bear you safe into tho realms of light
and peace. Blessed be his holy name,
henceforth and forever Amen.

The royal commission from Can
ada, appointed to examine into the
systems of prohibition of the liquor
traffic wherever it is in vogue and
report to the Canadian parliament,
are in Kanbas City. Besides the
members of the commission there
is a special correspondent of the
brewers and distillers of Canada.
It is his business to see . when the
commission takes testimony that
the liquor dealers have a fair show,
and he'hunts up witnesses to prove
that prohibition is a failure. The
commission will thoroughly test
prohibition. It will examina into
every phase of the subject and de
cide whether or not to reccoinmend
the system to the Dominion of Can
ada, On its present trip the com
mission will visit Kansas and Iowa,
as representative, prohibition states,
and. Minnesota as the roost noted
example of high license. ' .
Where Beggars Thrive.
Chief among the many puzzling
questions with which my childish
mind whiled away the weary half
hour of a Sunday morning sermon,
was the existence of beggars in Bi
ble days. I pictured Palestine to
myself as a land of temples, tombs
and gardens, inhabited by beggars
and Pharisees. Born and reared
in the prosperous west, poverty
such as the scriptural tales dimly
suggested was to me a thing as
vague as ths Hell of the same rec
ords, a fa:.ry tale far "more unreal
than the sleeping palace or the
caves of Aladdin. Now, the puzzle
is solved, I have seen poverty, I
have been to Mexico, I understand
Palestine. I can almost believe iu
a horned Satan and fire and brim
stone. To a casual observer Mexican
poverty is extremely picturesque.
It is not an imitation of respecta
bility such as the humblest Amer
ican will attempt, but it is human
ity in rags and nakedness, too often
in sores, almost always in dirt.
There, begging is A trade, the oc
cupation of all the poorer popula
tion. Beggars infest the railroad
stations at the interior towns, and a
motley array it is. They are of all
sexes, conditions and ages, with and
without sores, the lame, the halt,
and the blind. Babies in arms
holding out dirty little hands for a
"centavo," old women, young
women, healthy little boys, crip
pled grandfathers all whining to
the same tune iu their mongrel
Spanish, "For the !eve of God, Sea
orita, give ine a cent."
Give them cents! I poured them
out upon them. Never had a cop
per seemed of so much value. I
luxuriated in their delight. I bought
out tbe porter, the newsdealer and
the conductor to satisfy the want
that never could be satisfied; for
there is a friendly feeling ambng
these unfortunates, and when they
find one who will give, they spread
the glad tidings among all their
class, and indeed I suspected them
of having discovered some peculiar
way of telegraphing the informa
tion to the next station, so besieged
was I for charity.
Some tourists who had been in
the couptry before endeavored to
impress me with the fact that I was
encouraging idleness, but who
would not be idle when the sun was
hot and water a luxury and even
for labor, money was not forthcom
ing. Tbiey must live. To live they
must eai, and it seems to me that
in the more desolate portion of the
country, to eat, they must beg.
Very picturesque were they, seen
from the car window in the soft
gloom of the southern night, their
dark eyes gleaming like stars under
their quaiat hat or still more prim
itive head dress, their white teeth
glittering as the musical Spanish
rippled forth iu compliments calcu
lated to appeal to the generosity of
the senorita who seemed to them a
small sized Providence. In the
cruel glare of the sun, defects -became
evident, and one saw the
coarseness in the squalor and dirt,
still never did they cease to be
noetic. They- harmonized so per
fectly wilh the background of cloud
less sky, antique buildings, and
tropical verdure. There was a
beauty even in their very ugliness
which was a plea for their existence
and in remembering the pleasant
est journey of my life I shall always
have a tender recollection of the
beggars of Mexico. Edith M. Day,
in Lewis & Dryden's Railway and
Marine Gazette.

How Hawaiian Affairs Stand.
Claus Spreckels, the big sugar
king, has large interests in the is
lands.' Here is what he has to say
regarding annexation:
"I was here when the revolution
broke out, and I have come down
to investigate. The labor question
is an all-important one and consti
tutes my only objection to annexa
tion. The planters must have
much labor, and this, in tbe necessi
ties of the case, must be Asiatic
labor. . Whites could it and Ka
nakas will not work in the cane
fields.- Negroes have been spoken
of for laborers, but it is imposible
to'keep them in the country; they
always want to go home. The con
tract system will not be tolerated
by the United States, but that sys
tem is no essential. There are
three conflicting elements, the mis
sionaries, th Kanakas and the op
posing party of white adventurers,
which cannot be united. The Kana
kas are simply children. There is
a gap between them and the whites
which cannot be bridged a mist
ing link which will never be found.
There is no danger, though from
England or Japan. Uncle Sam
would not allow any power to take
these islands. They are in the com
mercial highway of the NorthPacific,
and I be)eve they belong to tho
United States if any nation is to
have them. The Kanakas, though,
are easily influenced, and I can't
be here all the time." -
THE QUEE IS PASSIVE.
Spreckels has called on Queen
Liliuokalani since his arrival, and
informed the deposed soverign that
monarchy is dead beyond restora
tion. The queen some days ago
stated to one of her advisers that
she was entirely passive, and wait
ing the action of the United States.
She is quoted as saying:
"Whatever the result may be, I
will not utter a murmnr. I have
advised my people to remain quiet."
To President Dole, upon whom
Spreckels also called, the latter ia
said to have given the assurance
that he would support a good gov
ernment; that if he should persist
in his idea of a republic, he would
find many influential men ready to
assist him ; that the saving between
the carrying on of the government
under a monarchy and tinder the
present system produces sufficient
funds to meet not only all the ordi
nary requirements, but to enable
130,000 interest on outstanding
bonds to be paid when it matures
in June.

all up they both came back dis
gusted. While on Butte creek last week
we visited the store of Geo. Brown
at 'Eagle Point, which is well
stocked with goods, and well ar
ranged and neat as any store in the
county. We know George sells lots
of goods by the empty boxes we saw
in another room, anyway he gave
us a nice big box for a grub box,
that the fellow just down the street
a short distance wanted to charge
just a trifle for, only 25 cents, b ut
we couldn t see it. George is doing
well in Eagle Point and we are glad,
of it,
