A CANCELLATION FOR DEATH.

I'll raise my voice with heart sincere,
To the Sovereign. Lord on high,
And praise him for the life he gave,
And thank HIM that l die.
Those two blessings greater far.
Than all mankind can see,
Active lite and silent death,
Were both ordained by thee.
Chy goodness called me into life
Thy kindness every need supply,
Freedom, Hope and reason gave,
And find mercy when 1 die.
Thou God all love, wilt not despise
What warns the heart from pole to pole
The hope to meet our friends Oh high,
Nor blot the memory of the Soul.
Thou framed our natures, gave US love,
And will not offended be,
1t Souls desire to meet above,
And divide our love with thee.
Now keep me as am, o Lord,
In feeling, thought, and power,
Such wealth is far beyond my count
Or any earthly dower.-[stanton Mu'lee

To Mothers of
Boys.

The mother of a boy who clothes her boy here
has three advantages: She saves heap of mend
ing, for our boys clothes are the toughest in fab
ric and strongest in seams made anywhere she
has the pick of the newest and best; she finds
all sizes here when she wants and in what she
wants; and she pays jus1 what the clothes are
worth-no more, no less.
That is why our department of boys and
childrens clothing illustrates aptly the policy
of ''expansion."
Jaunty vestee suits, 200 to 90, for boys
from 8 to s.
Handsome blouse suits, $50 to 600 for boys
8 to 10.
Cadet suits for boys who want to be soldiers,
500 for blue, 7.50 for grey suits, braided in
military style.
Two piece and three piece suits in all the new
fabrics, 200 to 1000 for boys to Is years.
And long trouser suits for the big boys, ''just
like dad s." 5 90 to Is 90.

Let Us Act On This Suggestion.

To the Editor of THE BEE: I read
with much interest the article by uP' In
your last issue and wish to endorse every
word that he said. It seems to me that
In our mad rush for pleasure we are
prone to forget what Memorial day
means. It is little enough for us to do,
that we give one day in the year to re-
membering and honoring the brave dead,
those who gave up their lives tor their
country on the battlefield, and those who
have passed to their reward since. The
recent war ought to have awakened the
dormant patriotism, that turks in the av-
erage Newcomers breast, enough so
that we could have some sort of Memo
rial day service, this year. Little do we
appreciate what the boys in blue sacri'
feed for the Union and for posterity, and
we go on year after year getting more
careless and recreaut in the duties of
"Memorial' day. Ii should be day of
lovirg remembrance aud day to culti-
vate those great qualities-reverence
and patrotism-without which our town,
our state, our nation are doomed. Can
we not get together, on May 80, and show
to our veterans that Newtown has only
forgotten, but has at last been brought
to her senses. am sure that to those
veterans that remain it will be a welcome
thing. Their ranks are growingj less,
their step grows more faltering, their
hair is silvering-but let us not allow
their hearts to grow old. In doing this
we will perform double mission-we
will honor the brave soldier boys apd ed
ucate ourselves up to where we have
fallen from.
"Hither:we bring bright flowers OF May.
And deck with care the lowly beds
While our sad hearts are far away,
In those lost years that time has sped.
Again we hear the bugie sound,
The clash and crash of glitteriag arms,
The sentry treads his silent rounds;
Again we list wars dread alarms.
Now changed the scene, the broken lines
Return victorious from the fray.
B It where, o where, the absent ones
That erst so proudly marched away.
On southern fields, meath southern skies,
Each sleeps in aforementioned grave;
While memory weaves the sacred ties
That bind our hearts unto the brave.
We strew fresh flowers above these dead,
The others sleep, we know not where;
Spring drops her tribute DER ach head,
God keeps them in His wondrous care.
So sleep the brave, so let them rest,
That parting-many years since passed
VIII bear a harvest rich and blest,
When all shall reunite.at last''.-GW.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
Manager Smith s Southern Trip.
SAILS ON THE HAMILTON, THE NEW SHIP
OF THE OLD DOMINION LINE.

s Mr. and Mrs Arthur J. Smith and Mise
Scudder arrived safely at Bon Air, Va,
on Friday, having had most enjoyable
trip. They sailed from New York on the
steamer Hamilton, of the Old Dominion
line, on Wednesday afternoon. Mr.
Smith was not seasick while his COM
panions were. He stood the trip finely
and arrived at his destination In good
spirits, and feeling none the worse for
the trip. The Old Dominion line Ia per-
haps tb : most popular OF the steamship
iiass plying between New York and
Southern points. Their service is first
claas, and the boats are always clean and
in fine order. The Hamilton, on which
Mr. Smith sailed last Wednesday, made
It's first trip South on that day. This
magnificent boat was built at the yard OF
the Delaware River Iron Shipbuilding
and Engine Works, at Chester, Pa, and
was successfully launched on Thursday,
January 26. She was christened "Ham-
ilton" by Miss Jean de Gau Livingston
OF New York, granddaughter Of William
Rowland, director of the company.
The new vessel is a sister ship to the
"Princess Anne," which ia at present the
largest In the company's service, being
3l5 feet long, 42 feet beam, with u feet
depth Of hold. Her tonnage is about
3, 500. She Is fitted with triple expansion
engines, with cylinders of 27, Al 1-2 and
73 inches diameter by Sd inches stroke,
and four boilers, each IA feet inches In
diameter by II feet 6 inches long. A
crate surface of 300 feet, and a heating
surface of 10, 600 square feet, ia expected
to develop 8, 400 horsepower, giving her
speed Of nearly II Knots. She will
have single stack, reaching 80 feet from
the CRATES, the company preferring
natural to forced draft. The Hamilton"
resembles the ''Princess Anne" In all re-
spects, with the exception of cabin
arrangement, and has accommodations
for l20 first cabin aud AZ steerage passen-
gers. The saloons are finished in hard
wood, and the interior of the vessel Is
fitted throughout handsomely. She was
Quilt in the most modern style, under the
rules Of the American Shipmasters' Asso-
citation and Of the United States Steam
ship Owners, Builders and Under
writer's Association, and received the
highest class accorded vessels Of similar
dimensions. The Hamilton arrived at
Norfolk at 10 10 a. M, on May 3 She
came in with strings of bunting flying,
her decks filled with passengers, and her
whistles screaming in response to the
welcoming shrieks from every steamer
in the harbor. When the Hamilton
reached her pier the word was passed
around, and many visited her, and cham
psgne and cigars followed delicious
luncheon, and there was much merriment
aboard. Capt J. e. Doll commands the
Hamilton; G. E. Charlton is chief en-
gineer, and j. B. Llewellyn, probably
the most popular purser of the line, is in
