Funeral of Donald stewart.

1t was as faultless as the most fastidious
taste could dictate. All the ceremonies
were in keeping with the occasion EVERY
thing somber and depressing was carefully
eliminated from the services, and great
care was taken to administer comfort and
healing to broken hearts. There was
cheer in the singing comfort in the adj
dress, consolation in the prayer, and even
the minor details were SO arranged and
executed as to rob the occasion OF much of
the gloom incident to such an occasion.
The front parlor was occupied by the
casket, the near relatives and the pail
bearers, and the rest OF the house was
filled with sympathizing friends, among
which were large number OF the public
school children. Mrs j. B. Ellston sang
sweet solo, the scriptures were then
read, and Rev. A. A. Doyle offered
PRAYER. The choir of the Congregational
church sang and Rev. Mr. Van Tassel
made the address from Thess. 4 IS, II,
at the close of which the choir sang The
Sweet Bye and Bye, and the last look at
the remains was taken by the entire con.
course OF people.
The burial was in new family ceme-
terv on the Stewart farm near the city
water works The grave had been so
tastefully decorated by Mr.. A. ID. Wood
as to cover up every vestige OF fresh earth
evergreens lining the entire grave and
extending several feet along the ground
at the top. The American flag was spread
at the head of the grave, and flowers cast
upon the coffin till it was literally COW
cred, the school children filing past and
each casting in bouquet.
A worthy, Christian young man has
fallen, but the memory OF his peaceful
end, his words of resignation and bright
hope OF future reward, shall cling to us
ever as a solace amid the wreck OF fond
ambitions and the grief OF breaking
hearts. l.

They, too. have heard the drum-beat.
They follow the bugle's call.
These who are swift with pity
On the field where brave men fall
When the battle boom is silent,
And the echoing thunder dies.
They haste to the plain red soddea
With the blood Of sacrifice.
The flag that floats above them
Is marked with a crimson sign,
Pledge Of a great compassion
And the rifted heart Divine.
That once for mans redemption
Knew earth's completest loss,
These to the field of vaIor
Bring loves IMMORTAL Cross.
And so they follow the bugle.
And heed the drum-beat's call,
But their errand is one of pity
They succor the men who fall

MIR. sHEPARD,s PAPER.

Hon. R. B. Shepard's paper upon the
changes made by the last legislature in
existing laws was of especial
interest TO lawyers rather than
the general public In conclud-
ing, speaking of the revised stat
utes of 1898 as a whole, Mr.. Shepard
says:
while there may be parts of the
same that may be justly criticised yet
they are a vast improvement on the
heterogeneous mass of laws which is
supplanted Some parts of the same,
as with all work, doubtless could be
improved upon: but the people of the
state, especially attorneys and judges.

torpedo boat destroyers has almost com

two Is expected to report to Acting Sec.

awards. The work has been difficul,
because Of the multiplicity Of plans and
the originality displayed by some Of the
bidders. The decision arrived at by the
board is TO distribute the craft as fol.

To the Union Iron works Of San Fran.
