A TRIBUTE TO
LATE DIR. LAURIE.
Impressive Discourse on the Life OF the
Departed Minist.r.

GA Tribute to tho late DIR. Laurie"
was the subject of the address delivered
by DIR. James q. Vose at the Pilgrim
Congregational Church yesterday morn
ing. where he was supplying the pulpit
for tho day, In an interchange with the
pastor Rev. Il. B. Pullan. DIR. Vose
selected as his text ii. Cor. L4-5: "That
your faith should not stand with the wis.
dom Of men," After an opening anthem
had been rond cred by the choir, DIR. Vose
spoke In brief as follows:
There are few men whose deaths as
we'll as their lives are precious, because
we arc reminded by the appreciation OF
our great loss of tho large place they filled
in benetting humanity. such charac'
tor was Dr. Laurie whose life history Is so
closely linked with the history OF the
Congregational church in Providence
that IL is impossible TO relate the one
without tho narration Of much Of the
other.
DR.. Laurie was born in Edinburgh, in
1891. When a mere youth he came to this
country and became a resident tf a
small town in Illinois. Graduating
from the University Of Illinois he entered
the ministry in which he continued for
80 years Of loyal and coDsecrated sservice.
Born in Europe aud educated In
America. he began his life work in Asia
in missionary movement, the HISTORIANS
In Asia Minor. DIR. Laurie firmly believed
that he was called to this service and
would undoubtedly have continued In the
same until his death had not the climate
so affected his health that he was forced
to return to America. In this country he
was for le years pastor of a prominent
Congregational church in hoxtury.
Mass, until he received an invitation to
engage in the work in Providence, which
he accepted. 1t was due to his energetic
efforts that the present Pilgrim Congre-
gational Church was built.
AS a scholar, DR.. Laurie stood in the
first rank. During his stay in the Orient
he became thoroughly acquainted with
| the SyIiac and Arabian tongues, besides
possessing fine training In the classes
gained in his college studies in this
country. Several Of his books are well
known, especially the " AssyriaI Echres, u
| and the mastery work entitled, "The
Contribution of Foreign Missions to
| Sciencs and Religion"
AS a preacher. DR.. Laurie will long be
remem bered by the people Of this city.
He belonged to decidedly old school OF
theology. fearing the newer theories ad-
vanced by the so-called higher aeticism
and adheJ.ag to the simple faith Of the
New England preachers OF years ngC As
a man. he was energetic. always as work,
ard of noble. exuted character. His
face was turned toward the future and
the rising sun. He was intensely opti-
mistic, and believed that humanity was
growing better. When his so years OF
service vera done and he had quietly
passed away, the people of his parish and
city realized that they had lost valuable
friend and an earnest worker

NAVAL ORGANIZATION.

Our naval officers are divided broadly
into two classes Line and staff-these
distinctions being ominous in their REM
inisoence or that struggle which goes on
and on in the service-why. the public
does not know nor care. The line
enjoys positive rank and military com-
mand ;tho stan has relative rank and full
authority within its respective depart
ments to carry out all tho necessary du-
ties delegated by law and regulation.
Another broad distinction is the division
of ofiiuers into commissioned and war
rant-the former being practically closed
to enlisted men, and the latter being open
TO them.
Line. Off GERS arc commissioned In eight
grades. These and their relative ranks

and Ensign tSeoond Lieutenant). Naval
cadets, boatswaips, and gunners are line
officers appointed or warranted, but not
commissioned, and their rank is fixed
according to the order in which their
names appear in the Official Navy Reg
lister.
Staff Officers are distributed among sev-
on corps, or branches, and. according to
their length OF service and luck In promo

staff chiefs OF bureau have during their
incumbency the relative rank OF Commo-
dore, and should they retire while in
| charge they retain this on the rstred list.
10 these different branches are assigned
the medical, pay, and engineer officers,
and the chaplains, professors, naval con.
structors. and civil engineers. Carpenters
and sail-makers are classed as warranted
staff Officers, and rank with boatswains

ment and navigation OF ships. Postgrad-
uate courses arc open to staff f-oilicers, and

the instruction of marine officers. Dis
cipline and subordination have been the
rule OF his life. have become "a second ma

metcs and bounds and after his with
drawal from active service hv usually
finds he has had neither time nor oppor-
tunity to acquire the material accessories
which await the successful man OF com
mercial affairs. But IL Is, after all, some
thing to have given his life to the service
of the nation; something to feel that his
mission has been to defend the integrity
of the country and uphold the dignity of
its claims; and something, indeed, to
know that he has helped to keep aglow
the ennobling fires of patriotism. -Har-

except so far as IL may save our govern
ment from damage suits for permitting
the violation OF the laws as relating 10 the
duty of neutrals Our governments has
from the outset spared no labor or ex-
pense to discharge to the utmost the
duties imposed upon 10. 10 has had a
force of revenue cutters around FLORIDA
for the express purpose OF stopping hos
tile expeditions There are today four
such vessels in service, with two others
giving occasional help, making as many
as six In all. In addition there are the
revenue cutters on the remainder oil the
Gulf ana Atlantic COASTS, which are also
engaged In chasing unlawful expeditions
We have also had tho navy aiding the
revenue cutters. AT one time or another
moie than dozen vessels mostly cruisers
and gunboats. have been stationed In
Florida waters for this purpose, and some
times there have been three or four SO EN-
gagged. Special agents and detectives have
been employed by the treasury depart
mont. to cooperate with the patrol on the
sea and keep an eye on prospective ex-
petitions.
Spain has no ground for complaint
That the new government makes IL Is
plainly only subterfuge TO turn the at
tcntion of the people from the incapacity
Of government and of goneralship in deal
ing with the Cuban problem, To settle
which the Spanish people are compelled
to make such terrible sacrifices OF lives
and treasure.
