lowed in this country ;with nearly so

cables and letters of Mr. Clark of the
Star, Mr. Lyon of the Globe and the
special writers of the Mail and -Em-
pire and other Canadian dailies.

DIED IN'.'A FAR -AWAY .LAND.
With many months of' journeying
behind, and only a week's journey be-
fore, Mrs.. J L. Stewart,. who was
formerly Miss. Cordelia-'. Dunkin of
London, laid down her life in an alien
land, never having 'seen the field to
which she was going to spend • - her.
life as a missionary. •
A brief message received Saturday
afternoon -dated'. Chung King, West.
Chinni, 'Jan. -22, bearing the simple
words, "Cordelia. Stewart died here
today," is :practically all: that is
known ' of the 'sad tact.
No intimation had been given in any
of the letters sent .'home from the
members of the party that all was
not well, and the sad -news came with -
terrible suddenness. All Mrs. Stew-
art's letters home have been full , of
thepleasant little incidents of thq
journey, andwere always bright and
cheerful, and no thought of any dis-
aster had come to trouble• the hearts
of her parents •:until" Saturday's tele-
gralm brought the news of her death.
Chung King is the' station of . the
General -Mission, reached after months
of journeying up the Yang Tse Kiang
by house boat, At that place it is
learned from' Rev; Mr. Mortimore, a
returned missionary, at present in
London, was stationed Dr. McCart•
noy, one of the best medical mon
West China, and as there were sever-
al medical men in the party with
which Rev. and 1VIrs. Stewart were
travelling she couid not • have' lack-
ed medical care.
It was only in the latter part - of
September that 13Irs. Stewart was
married to Mr, Stewart, and. on Oct.
28 in company, with about a score of
other missionaries, they „sailed - from
Vancouver. Since then they have been
constantly journeying, as for thous-
ands of iriles the "Yang Tse" is only
navigable by small boats, and pro-
gress is of necessity slow, and they
had reached to within a week's' travel
of :their journey's end when God's fin-
ger touched one ,of the little party
that had set out so gladly to servo
on. the frontier lino of civilization.
'Ates. Stewart was a graduate of
Alma College, and a member of the
Askin Street Methodist Church, Lon-
don, where she was prominent in
connection with the Epworth League
and Mission Band,
Mrs. Stewart, who was a twice of
Mrs. Boles of Clinton, was
known by many bene who arta sorrow-
ful because of her untimely death.
ROYALLY ENTERTAINED.
Mr. Melville .Ransford- entertained a
number of his young friends . ,right
royally on Tuesday ,evening, when, af-
ter a jolly sleigh -ride, extending over
an hour or so, the party were taken
to Bartliff's restaurant where they
found the dining -hall brightly decor-
ated, and a most sumptuous supper
ready to be served. After , doing
ample justice to the goodthings pro-
vided, the room was cleared and some
time was spent in dancing, the merry
company breaking up about midnight,
one and all voting Melville an ideal
host.
