A resting spell approaches now;
We see the end az last,
They've put the laurel on the brow
OF each brave man who passed,
We've watched the grim events that
stalked <s-s
And feared what anne behind,
And each has paid, or cheered, or talked
According 20 his kind. -
Through pages, marching day and night,
We've traced the armys ways,
And faltered. sometimes, in the hght

And now each thankful chap

WILD BEASTS ENTER A TOWN.
Columbia and Terrffy the
Residents.

Bears and panthers, impelled by the
pangs of hunger, are invading many
towns in British Columbia and are ter
rnying the ranchers. Four bears en-
tered Whitewater city. in Kootenai, re-
Gently at night, attacked the meat safe
of the principal hotel, demolished it
and got away in safety with the prov
ender. 1t was thought probable that
the beasts would return next night.
and accordingly Whitewater prepared
for emergency. The entire male popu-
lation turned out, armed with rifles and
shotguns, and awaited the visit of the
bears, and two were killed.
Nanaimo also was visited by bears
and the women and children had
scare. One panther waited all night in
the branches of tree overhanging the
ranch house Of Mrs. Buster, who, being
alone, waited until the first streak Of
dawn and took n shot at him from an
upstairs window, bringing the beast
down with bullet in his head. Miss
McErnery, while acting as nurse in q
wealthy farmers residence, was hor-
rified at seeing a panther peering
through the window at her in the moon
light. She had no weapon, and, selling
the baby, ran from the back door to the
house of neighbor. On the neighbor
returning the panther was found to
have entered the shed. He was shot
dead from the open door of the dining
room.

SPIRIT DEMANDS A FUNERAL.
Obsequies Are Held Three Weeks
After the Burial of the
Corpse.

Colored people in New Brunswick, n
j., are somewhat exercised over the
holding of q funeral of man three
weeks after his burial in obedience to
the request OF his spirit. William
Bailey, aged %, came TO the city three
months ago from Pocomoke City, Md.
He died and as he had no money or
friends the body was buried by the
county without the formality of a
funeral This shocked the religious
minded colored people.
Among those impressed by this disre-
spect to the dead was Mrs. Thomas Tay-
Tor, Of "a Lee avenue. Two days later
she was visited, so she says. by the
spirit Of Bailey, who said he could not
rest content without funeral. The
story Of her ghostly visitor is corroD-
GRATED by her husband, who SAYS that
he was aroused by his wife and told
about Bailey talking to her. The
funeral without corpse was held, but
nothing happened to mar the solemnity
OF the rather strange service. Rev. G.
w. Swan preached the sermon.

SOApsUDs NO GOOD.
Experiments Prove That They Will
Not Quiet the Waves.
Captain Of ma Ocean Steamer Makes
Public the Results of a Series OF
Tests-A1ways Found OIL
EHicncfous.

Capt. II. Gathemann, of the North Ger
man Lloyd steamship Oldenburg, has
just made public the result OF series
of experiments with oil and soapsuds
in quieting the sea In the vicinity of the
ship during storm.
He began his experiments in Decem-
Der, 1879, on voyage from Baltimore to
Bremen, and used vegetable or whale
oil to good advantage. He allowed the
oil to drop from series of buckets ar
ranged in the bow of the ship. The
wind at the time was west-northwest,
with very rough sea. The speed OF the
ship was about 1871 knots; the tempera-
ture of the air was 48 degrees Fahren-
hcit and of the sea 81 degrees. Pres-
emily the waves, which had been break
ing over the ship, became remarkably
quiet, and the sea within several hun
dred yards of the ship became calm.
The captain used about 21a pounds OF
oil In an hour during this experiment.
He was very much gratified Mt the re-
suit.
In January, 1898, Capt. Gathemann
began trying soapsuds. The mixture
consisted of Is pounds of green soap
and 40 pounds of sweet water and, as in
the case of the oil, buckets were used,
from which the soapsuds dropped into
the ocean. Tho wind was north By
west, the speed Of the ship over IL knots
and the temperature of the air and sea
about the same as in the experiment
with the oil. The soapsuds could be
plainly seen floating on the surface Of
the water until wave struck them and
then they quickly disappeared. No
quieting effect was noticeable on the
sea, however, and when the buckets
were empty they were quickly filed
with oil and presently the sea again be-
came calm.
Capt. Gathemann reports that he
has experimental with soapsuds sew
eral times during his voyages this year,
but never found them efiieacious and al |
ways resorted to oil with good results.

MUST WEAR UNIFORMS.
Naval Chaplnins on Duty Must Wear
Distinctive Dress Which In
Being Designed.

Secretary Long has determined to
end the anoma lous condition presented
on shipboard by the appearance of reg
ular naval chaplains without distinct
i've uniform. and has accordingly APP
pointed board of officers consisting
of Commodore f. j. Higglnson, Capt.
John Schouler, and Chaplains W. o.
IIolway, ID. II. TribOn and W. F. Morri-
son to devise an appropriate costume.
There was time when naval chaplains
wore a uniform that marked their mill
cary character while not coucealing
their clerical occupation, but this dis
tinctive dress was abolished and now
the Sky pilots" as the jaekies call
their spiritual advisers, wear what
clothes they please on ship and Off. Al
though chaplains have relative rank
and title. ranking from lieutenant to
captain, they are the only officers Of the
service who do not wear uniforms.
Even the pay clerks, who arc rated as
civilians. wear the undress uniform of
the regular officers.

AS USUAL, LOVE FOUND A WAY
Romance Begun I'm Germany Gull
inmates In n Chicago
Wedding.

Ethel Schwaan was n romantic maid
en- of dozen years in the little town OF
Druisburg, Germany. There lived in
the town of Druisburg young man
named Carl Redlinger. He was years
older than she, and he scarcely noticed
her, but she adored him. He was her
hero. When he came to America n few
years ago she mourned a long time in
secret. But the years passed and she
never heard from him, and then.
through the shiftings of fortune, she,
too, set sail for the United States.
This was n year ago. All the way
over she had been thinking of her lost
hero. She wondered if he were still as
good and noble as ever. She had heard
that he had settled in a small town in
Illinois, but she didn't know where.
Then Miss Schwaan did some hard
thinking. She sat down and wrote
letter. addressing it to Carl Redlinger,
Elgin. On the outside of the envelope
she wrote: please return if not
called for in ten days" Then she wrote
another letter and addressed it to Carl
Redlinger, Bloomington, with the same
instructions on the envelope. Every
day she wrote one or more of these let
tiers, all addressed to Carl Redlinger
and each directed to different town.
Every day she got letters back, and SO
the months went by, until one day
August Carl Redlinger walked into her
home at 1870 Orchard street, Chicago.
The wedding that took place at the
Schwaan residence tells the rest of the
story. and the young couple left the
next morning for their farm at Rock
