by Revs. j. +. DripDs and II. c.
Bowen.
The union meeting of the churches at
Wesley Monumental church yesterday af-
ternoon was an interesting one and was
enjoyed by the large number present.
Rev. DR.. j. f. Dripps made the FIRST talk
of the service. His topic was the rest
of Jesus at Bethany during passover
week. He said that the life of Christ was
the model of activity and so ours should
be filled with service, He prepared himself
for active service In the long hours of rest
during this week and in his early life. In
addition to activity and preparation DR..
Dripps showed the importance of Godli-
ness in Christian work
Rev. II. c. Bowen of the Christian
church followed in talk in which he. dis
eussed the incidents of the supper at
Bethany. After speaking of the location
OF Bethany as suggestive of exaltation in
our prepare ton for the work, he took
Simon, the leDer, as type of Christian
hospitality; Martha, of humble service,
and Mary's anointment of Jesus, of costly
Offering, for the great cause.
1t was announced at the close of the
services that Rev. ]. M. Lovett of Grace
and Rev. Thomas J. Shipman of the Duffy
street Baptist church would address the
meeting to-day at 4:30 o'clock d. m.

HOTEL HELP ON THE MOVE.
Two More Trains to Carry Ii out of
Florida To-day.


Another lot of the Florida hotel holm
will be moved north to-day. The Plant
system and Florida Central and Peninsu-
lar trains will both leave Jacksonville this
morning at 10 o'clock, as on April 4 ana
some more fast running is looked for
1t is hardly probable, however. that
there win be any racing between the
two. trains, but the schedules on which
they run are the same as those OF. the fast
mail trains. and they will make some
very good time. In the last run the Plant
system train arrived in WASHINGTON az
Z O'Clock, exactly on schedule time WHILE
that Of the Florida Central and Penins1l-
lar arrived about half an hour ahead Of
time.
The trains to-day. it is expected. will
be run only on schedule time. There is a n
active competition for the business on the
part OF both roads, and while II u,as
charged that there was some cutti'1s.

done. 1t is apparent however, that boIh
lines are doing all they can to Secure
the business; as there is little profit in
these specials unless they have a cool

Applications for Aid Increasing All

The county's benehciaries seem to be
increasing every month. and there is no
end 10 those who want to go on the bene-

Under an agreement made about a year
ago the Louisa Porter home Is dispensing
that portion Of the county poor fund
that goes to the white benefieiaries, but
1t takes lots Of close figuring to make
the amount go around. In spite of this
the commissioners sometimes have ap-
plications from whites who want county
aid.
Two applications, those of Mrs. Mahala
Myers and Mrs. Annie Downing, were
taken up at yesterdays meeting, and
letter from the ladies of the Louisa
Porter Home with regard to them was
claim that they could not secure suffi-
clent aid through the home, but the let

Two Sisters Of Mercy were summoned
to their crown from the hospitals Of the
East. One was English, a lay sister
from the convent at Liverpool; she fell.a
victim to the cholera which ragged at Bal
akalva. The, other was a choir sister,
from Ireland, Sister NJ. Elizabeth Butler:
Already rumors of peace had brought joy
Z to the camp, when toward the close Of
February z, 1855, she caught etyphus at
tending the sick, and in few days joy
fully bade farewell to the world One Of
the surviving sisters describes her fun
I:eral. The 29thsregimant obtained the
honor and the privilege of bearing the
coffin to the grave. One officer earnestly
desired to be among the chosen, but
thought he was not worthy, as he had
not been at holy communion on that
morning. The whole medical staff at
tended. The Sisters of Charity at the
Sardinian camp sent five Of their number
to express sympathy and coincidence.
eight chaplains attended to perform the
last rites for the heroine of charity. The
place of interment was beside the de-
parted lay sister, on a rocky hill rising
oyerssthes sW aters of. the Black Sea. The
funeral was a most impressive sight.
The soldiers in double file; the multi
tudes of various nations, rank and EN-
ploylnents, the silence unbroken, save by
the voice Of tears, the groups, still as
statuary that crowded the brooks above
the grave; the moaning of the sullen
waves beneath, all combined in a weird
pageant never to be forgotten by the
thousands that took part in it. The
graves of these cherished sisters were
tended with long attention. Marked by
crosses and enclosed by high iron rail-
ing set in cut stone they are still quite
visible from the Black Sea beneath.
Many pilgrim went thither to strew the
graves with flowers, and to the present
day many a vessel entering the Black
Sea lowers its flag in memory of those
heroines, who in the true spirit of char
lty devoted their lives to alleviate the
suffering Of their cOuntrymen.
