they were on the score of the calm sea.
Our time in the Channel was as good as
a picnic, and II seemed as II the prevail
ing merriment must tantalize Miss Brad
ley out of her proud reserve. But 1t
didn't.
The next morning when the steward
called me at $50 for my bath a breeze
had sprung up and the ship was lifting

fast table was but thinly attended. Miss
Bradley. however. came in and took her
place beside me. Come, l thought, she's
a good sailor. I'll amuse her with some
Anecdotes about those who are sick at
sea.
I supplied her plate and launched into
a funny story. To my dismay she sud
denly arose and left the table-likewse
the saloon, ramming her handkerchief
into her mouth, as assumed, to pre-
vent the laughter which must unbend
her dignity and break down the Icy bar
rier between us.
For five days her pride--or some other
dispositton-buried her In the sacred
secluson of her stateroom. 1t was too
bad! During those five days We stag
sered through a lively cross-sea, which
made walking on deck a very awkward
business. and I spent most of my time
reclining in my comfortable deck chair.
1t now occurred to a number of pas
sengers that deck chair was the thing
OF all others which they ought to have
brought on board The scanty accommo-
dation Of benches was inadequate for

Mr.. PEEL IS INVISIBLE.
He May start for Newport Tonight,
but Then He Has started So often.

but Then He Has Started So often.
Young Mr.. Robert Peel, the big
blond Englishman, ex-friend of Mrs.
Langtry and Marie Tempest, who is in
New York to enfores--the engagement
that he insists exists between him and
Miss Kittie Sanford, granddaughter OF
Millionaire Henry Sanford. has very
sybaritic tastes. He likes to lie abed
o'mornings.
Up at the Hotel Lincoln, on Broadway
and Fifty-second street, the clerk said
to-day to an Evening World reporter
that Mr.. Peel never, under any circum-
stances. left his rooms until little
before l o'clock In the afternoon. His
valet wakes him at noon and grooms
him. When this process Is completed,
Mr. Peel saunters downstairs, ready
to dazzle all beholders with his size,
his comeliness and his English insouci-
ance.
Mr.. Peel has also given strict orders
that his morning slumbers shall in no
way be disturbed by the delivery to
him In his room of any notes, cards,
kilograms or messages. They are all
cold-storaged in his hotel box.
II is also thought at the hotel that Mr..
Peel will not leave for Newport to-
night. He has made preparations sew
eral times to leave for Saratoga, Mag
ara Falls and other points, but when
his luggage" had all been packed and
brought downstairs, he always changed
his mind, and the traps were taken to
his room again.

er's trade. On October Il, 1876, he
married Miss Margaret Annie Turner,
who survives him to mourn his loss.
Eight children were born to them,
four OF whom still live. The Others
died quite young and sleep beside
their father in BellWood Cemetery.
In 1882 he came With his family to
the hited States to live. and settled
first Il Warren, Bradley County, Ar

James, had for some years resided.
Two years later he came to Pine Bluff
where lie lived till his death, which
occurred June 20, 1884
Fer several years after he came TO
Arkansas he engaged in the work of
IAN architect, and planned and super
intended the building OF some OF the
largest business houses and dwellings
in this city ard in Warren. Later he
turned his attention to the mercan-
tile business, in which work he was
engaged up to the time OF his death.
MrJolly was a public spirited man
and soon identified himself with the
best interests OF the community. He
was honest ana upright in his life.

Second preshy terrain Church was or
gained in east Pine Bluff. he and his
wife were among the first to join it,
and he was chosen a ruling Elder in

support.
In his family he was tender and
loving. and his life was filled with
thoughtful care for the interest OF his
loved ones.
His last Illness was brief but dis
tressing. His mind was clear to the
last aud he had no dread Of the fu-
ture, but in his death he trusted son-
fidently i'll that Savior whom he had
served during his life. Many friends
mourn his loss.
