monia, on March Z, 1900, Calvin

months and eight days.
Calvin was kind to all, and en-
dured his suffering (Which lasted
about one monthly with so much
patience asked his father to for
give him for every wrong that he
had done us hope that he
had asked his heavenly Father to
forgive him of his sins. As a son
was always ready to obey father
and mother; as q brother, ever
kind and true; as q friend, always
faithful. Weep not dear parents,
brothers and sisters, as those that
have no hope; forever trust that
Calvin. is among the shining an
gels-has joined the loved ones
that have gone before, and are
all singing around the great white
throne.
The writer offers her deepest
sympathy in this hour of their sad
bereavement.
A precious one from earth is taken,
A voice that was loved is stilled.
A place Is vacant in his home
That never can be filed.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given;
Though the body mouldem here.
The soul We trust is safe in heaven.

NEW POLAR EXPEDITION.
To BE Fitted Out In New York ana
Commanded by T.. II. Baldwin.

NEW YORK, Oct 13.-William Zeig-
Ter, well known and wealthy citizen OF
New York city and large interests in
Brooklyn, announces that he will pur-
chase two vessels. fully equip and man
them and send them in quest of the
north pole during the summer of 1901
The expedition is to be in charge of
Evelyn B. Baldwin, who was compan-
ion of Lieutenant Peary in his attempts
to reach the pole in 1893 and 1894 and
also member of Walter Wellman's ex-
pedition.
1t is Mr.. Zieglers intention to have
one vessel remain in the arctic regions
while the other returns for supplies.
The expedition, it is said. will not be
dispatched for the north earlier than the
summer of 1901, and all the time be-
tween this date and that will be neces-
sary for preparation. Ships may be pur-
chased, though vessels better adapted for
the work may be built
