with ordnance firms for supplying ma

Precautions Taken Against Yellow Fever.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. The war de-

In Memory of Maggie May Mercer
Died July End 1898.
One most cherished friend has left us,
One with whom twas bard TO part,
One whose life work here was needed
With the warm love Of her heart.
She, the loved, ambitious. hopeful
Dreaming Of rare joys in store,
Cast upon afYiiotions waters
Drifted 10 the farther shore.
From home Of worldly comfort,
With hopes bright az youths day dawn,
To the land beyond times shadows,
In the flush OF youth she's gone.
Oh, how often on lifes journey,
We are called 10 say farewell.
Friends we love most dearly leave us,
And our hearts with anguish swell.
Though longed on earth to linger,
With the loving friends Of time,
Life's bark drifted TO the heaven
OF . fair celestial cline.
Yet by oil the dear home circle,
And by friends and kindred dear,
She was loved with true devotion,
Yet they could not keep her here.
Though in fields Of useful labor,
Radiant with hopes clear light,
Heart and hands we're we'll enlisted,
Yet they charm no more her sight.
From the flush Of health inspiring,
To the pallid hue Of death,
Seems the life change that came DER her,
Transient as fieeting breath.
Like chs rished flower she faded,
In he home she loved 20 we'll,
And the grief Of friends and kindred,
Is to deep, to sad TO tell.
Yet there's hope again Of meeting,
Where the loved and lost ones dwell,
Where there are no painful psrtings,
Where there are nod 80 farewells.
