The following resolutions were adopt ed by the Good Intent Society of the Methodist church at their regular meet ing yesterday : Whereas, On the 11th day of March, 1896, Sister Julia Taylor, our beloved J sister in the church and co-worker inN the Good Intent Society, bade adieu to family and friends on earth, and went from us to be at home with the family of God in heaven ; be it Resolved, That while we mourn the ir retrievable loes which we suffered in the death of Sister Taylor, we lift our bur dened hearts in prayer to Him who doeth all things well, for grace to say, "Thy will be done," and bless Him through our tear?, for we would not have it otherwise, as we know "earth is poorer for her going, but heaven is richer." Resolved, That we praise our Father in heaven for that Christian faith and strength which armed our sister with courage to look without dread into the "unveiled face of death," and in the last hour sound the note of triumph, "All is well." . Resolved, That we, the members of the Good Intent Society, pray the Lord of tbe harvest that He raise up some one of our number upon whom the mantle of our departed sister may fall, and show that God buries His workmen, but carries on His work. Resolved, That we kneel with the grief-stricken husband at God's altar and say: "The Lord gave, the Lord natn taten away; blessed be the name of the Lord," whose mercy endureth for ever and whose voice is ever whispering to the disconsolate, "I love thee, I love thee, pass under the rod." Resolved, That our secretary bt in structed to spread the resolutions on the records of our society and request their publication in The Chronicle and Times-Monntaineer and a copy sent to Mr. Henry Taylor.

Benator Mitchell's Bill Passes tbe ato for the Appropriation. Washington, D. G Mch 19, '9,6. Special to The Chronicle. Editor Chronicle, The Dalles, Or. ; My resolution providing the immedi ate use of twenty thousand dollars to construct safeguards essential to the early opening of the canal and. locks to traffic, passed the senate today and goes to the house for action, where it will doubtlees pass. This will insure the opening of the locks to boats, the engi neers and contractors assure me, early in May. John H. Mitchell. The above special telegram was re ceived by The Chronicle office shortly after noon today, and is the most sub stantial encouragement which has arisen since the agitation began. It covers the whole ground, and nothing The Chron icle can say would offer added encour agement -or give further information. Senator Mitchell deserves the ereatest praise for his heroic efforts, which were brought to such a prompt and satisfac tory lseue. i: Mr. Goorlay's Lecture A large audience greeted Mr. Hugh Gonrlay last night to listen to his lec ture on "Civil and Religious Liberty vs. A. P. A. ism." Father Bronseeeat and many Catholics were present, as well as members of ail or no denominations. Taking up history and showing the car nage on the field of battle over religions wars, be concluded with this climax: If the Catholic church had its St. Bar tholomew, Protestanta also had their Smitbfield ; if the Catholics had their Torquemada, Protestantism also had its Henry VIII." The speaker denied the pope's interference in politics, quoting authorities as far back as the Eighth century. Pope Gregory, Mr. Gourlay claimed, speaking to the emperor of Rome, claimed the state must not inter fere in ecclesiastical.nor would the church interfere in temporal affairs. Daniel O'Connor of Ireland said : "We take our religion from the church of Rome, but no pope nor priest has the right to dic tate our politics." The following are some of Mr. Gour lay's statements crystalized : If I thought the Catholics owed pri mary allegiance to the pope, I would go farther than the A. P. A. and deny them even the franchise. io civu r religious liberty oi - no protestant was ever denied in any Amer ican colony under Catholic jurisdiction No Catholic was ever a traitor to the United States. Half of Geo. Washington's army were Catholic. Father Corby, chaplain of an Irish Union regiment in the civil war, thus addressed his command just before en tering one of the bloodiest carnages of tbe rebellion : "I now grant absolution to all who fall fighting on the battle field before us, and I deny absolution to any one of the Catholic faith who shall See the Cleveland and.

Sole Agents for the above named Wheels. - turn his back to the Stars and Stripes." Mr. Gourlay also made the following challenge : . "I have $ 100 for the public charities if any A. P. A. of this county will prove before a committee of three lawyers of this city, selected as an arbi tration committee, that the pope ever recognized the Southern -Confederacy other than the mere polite form of ad dress in a letter to Jefferson Davie, "To Jefferson lavis, president of the states of the Southern Confederacy." " The lecturer spoke nearly three hours and was frequently applauded. PERSODAL ItENIlOJv Mr. S. R. Husbands of Mosier is in Husky of Mosier was in the city, Mr. E. J. town today. Mr. J. N.
