Death Of Pirst Lieut.. Chas. B
Lakewood.


Lakewood.
1t Is with sincere regret we chronicle
the death Of First Lieutenant Charles B.
Gstew God, of the Sixth U. s. Cavalry,
which sad event occurred at Fortress
Monroe, Va, from internal cancer on
Wed nesday, OF last week. He had been
on sick leave some time, and his re-
tirement was delayed only in the in
teptiOn Of allowing him TO become
Captain in the regular course of pro-
motion before being retired permanently.
The death OF Lieutenant GatewOod has
caused a wide spread feeling of deep
sorrow throughout this community where
be was born and where he lived until a
short time before he entered Vest Point,
his father being the late John Gatewood,
for many years the proprietor and pub
Usher of this paper.
Lieutenant Gatewood graduated from
West Point with distinction 10 1877, and
was at once assigned to active duty with
the Sixth U. S. Cavalry then in Arizona.
Here he became distinguished by his
bravery aud fine conduct during the In
dian troubles, part of the tine com
manding company of Indian Scouts
whose services were of great value.
Ono of his memorable exploits, and for
which he received much praise, was his
visit alone to the camp of the savage
Geronimo, and inducing his surrender.
The remains of Lieutenant Gatewood
were taken from Fortress Monroe to
Washington where they were met by q
military detail from Fort Myer and
large number of officers and friends and
escorted to Arlington where the inter
ment took place with military donors.
Lieutenant GatewOOd was a brother of
Mrs. H. c. Allen, of this place. who has
the deepest sympathy of this community
10 her sore bereavement.

indeed! l knew that if discovered |
should be handed oyer 10 the ignorant
police justice who would be utterly I'M
moved by any statement that might
make. Unless l could get off the ship
ut s,cme other point, or the sentry should
once more relax his vigilance, l should

But repining was worse than useless.
I determined to r~econnoitre the posi-

turned, L stole away in the darkness.
The steamship, as near as l could judge,
was of the typical tramp" class, with
spardeck cut away between the masts
for the better accommodation of cat
tie shipments. In the forward cut /
stumbled over a quantity of stores,
which had seemingly not been taken
care of by the steward-hams, barrels of
flour, canned goods and as nearly as |
could judge, several hundred loaves of
bread were piled up IN a disorderly man
ncr. Much as Imarveled at this further
exhibition of lack of discipline. it was
certainly 4 lucky find for me, and I
made no delay in breaking Off a loaf of
the bread and munched it grecdily.
The greater part of the cut was oc-
cupied by n large number of packing
cases, and while making my way over
them I was surprised to discover by the
hollow sounds given forth that they
were seemingly empty. Just about the
middle of the cut | almost fell into n

CHARlTABLY SPHINXLIKE.
Well Bred Women Never Indulge in Ill
Bred Gossip.

One of the ethics of good breeding is
not to talk about people. The woman
who is continually pulling to pieces
personalities soon finds herself ignored
by those of her acquaintance who have
long ago learned the bad form OF I'M
kindly gossip.
1t is really a pose with elegantes, this
clam-like reticence in regard to fol-
lowing up a gossip's lead. The out
and-out artistocrat is SO secure in her
own position hat there is no canker
worm of envy eating away her souls
serenity. You may depend upon it, the
woman who is forever INDUCING in
caustic criticism does so because, feel
ing her own foothold on society's lad
der very insecure, she does her best to
pull down from their position those Of
her sex who may have climbed a round
CT i've higher, says an exchange.

Gradually 1 learned to respect him

few days.
The good bark C. B. Jones, of Brox-
port, Me-, bound from Buenos Ayres To
Boston with a cargo of hides and tai

distress flying. AS all the steamers
boats were gone, the first mate and four
seamen took the long boat and rowed 10
the Good Fortune with the humane in
tention of relieving the signaled wants
of the steamer, bringing q barrel OF
pork and a bag of biscuit. So weak, as
it seemed, were the crew of the steamer
that they could scarcely lend a hand
to hoist the provisions aboard. After
quite a long delay the long boat started
to return, but Capt. Jones was aston
ished to see that the BOAT contained six
others in addition to his w men. And
as they neared the vessel he failed TO
distinguish the smiling, CHEEKY face of
mis- first mate. Before he could recover
his presence of mind the men clambered
up the sides, and as he advanced II

after they were bound the cold-blooded
monsters murdered them, as we'll as

hundred dollars in the captains cabin,
a few watches and a little none from
the forecastle and some miscellaneous

With my brain almost unhinged by
the horror of being in the power Of
these demons, l lay long in a sort OF
stupor. When 1 came to my senses l
found myself struggling in the water,
with naught between my life and eter-
nifty but my packing box. 1t floated mt
bravely, however, and when the dark.
ness had cleared away I was picked up
by the Atlanta, of the Cunard line, and
conveyed back TO New York.

whether she still ranges the seas un-
