CRUISER BRGoKLYN OVERDUE.
Admiral Miller May Have Taken

ginning to feel alittle uneasy about theflag
ship Brooklyn, which sailed with Admiral
Miller IN board June 3 for Southampton ,

nine days since the cruiser left and not a
single tiding of her has been received. She
has not been spoken by any passing vessel
andis consi Gerably overdue if she sailed at
full speed.
At the Rureau of Navigation it was said
to-day that no fears for the safety of the
Brooklyn were entertained, and il was be
lieved that the poor time the cruiser has
made is due to her taking the southern
course, which is a slow one, and to the
fact that the vessel has not been pushed
for fear of possible accident TO the ma

the subject was, in life all that
the writer claimed for him but
about three years ago we solicit
ed the father of the deceased to
become a subscriber to this
paper, and he refused, giving as
a reason that he was taking so
many papers that he could not
afford to take the Chronicle and
at any rate he could get a New
York paper much cheaper. In
view of the fact, among all the
papers he certainly can get the
beautiful tribute to the memory
of his son, which conslts of a
sketch of his life and six verses
of beautiful poetry published
without intruding upon that,
which of right belong to our
patrons. In fact he ought to
send it to the city paper which
he claims is so much better

Died near Quiet Dell, West Va.
January 2, 1897, Miss Rosa
Thompson, daughter of Joseph
and Margaret Thompson IN
the twentieth year of her age.
Rosa protested conversion at the
age of twelve years and was
baptized into the fellowship of
the Center Branch Baptist church
by Rev. Jno. Fisher, where she
renamed consistent member
until her death. Rosa was not
only q favorite in her own home
but with all whom sbeassoclated.
Herillness had been protracted
and though for many months q
sufferer it was borne with that
same patience and gentleness
thaEcharacte rized her life. Her
Christian faith, never wavered
.bntl was the source of her peace
and comfort. as al who were with
her in her last hours can testify.
To her associates she left a
bright example, of a short but
well spent life. And now that
sha has nassed to her heavenly
rest, may others initiate her
lovely Christian character. Her
thoughts always seemed to be
more of heaven than of earth, as
was voiced in all her little poems
which appeared from time to
time in the columns of this paper.
We have reasons to believe that
already she beholds the king in
his beauty and majesty. The
funeral took place from the resi-
dence of her father. surrounded
by her pastor Rev. Jno. Fisher,
who repeated words chosen by the
deceased, Psalm IL, 10. Remains
we're Inferred in Center Branch
burying ground. The sympathy
people generally goes out to
the bereaved ones in their hour
of sorrow. assuring them that in
our prayers we commend them to
the tender mercy of our heavenly
father who hath said, What /
do thou kpowest not now, but
thou shalt know hereafter. Be
still and know that 1 am Cod"
Gone-thou hast left US Rosa,
In loneliness and gloom;
Thou hast gone to that far country.
Where they need no sun to shine.
Thou art washed in Jesus blood, Rosa
And a golden harp is thine /;
Go tune mid saints and angels now,
Forever in that sun-bright cline,
E. O.G.
