taking with them the Cape Dlsappoint-

The lightship was afoat and the
weather conditions were favorable but
the tugs were unable TO get closer than
hall a mile to the stranded vessel with
safety and their hawser would not
reach that far, so the attempt had to
be temporarily abandoned, Had the
tugs been able to make hawser con-
neotions with the lightship. the latter
would have easily been towed around
into the harbor.

ed In the open temple the eight paIlbear-

manded to take the casket and bear 1t
to the final abode of the dead. A large
door swung noiselessiy upon its hinges
at the rear, and through it, into a dark
and silent opening, sigdfying the tomb,
the remains of the dead knight were
borne. This being done the ceremony
was concluded, and as the quartette sang
very sweetly the old Nearer My God to
Thee, the procession of knights filed
back out of the temple into the place
whence they came.

leave an fndelibIe Impression upon the
minds of those who witnessed it

which was composed of Miss Florence

first was "One Sweetfy Solemn Thought, .

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Terence v. Pow
derly, commissioner of immigration, and
formerly grand master workmin of the
knights of Labor, was at the Palmer
house yesterday. He summed up condi-
tions as he sees them as follows:
There were never SO many men en-
ployed in the history of the United States
as there are today-never so many receiv-
ing wages and so much money paid in
wages. l believe it is a fair general
statement that any man who wants to
work today IN this country can find work
Strikes are wasteful. They generally
gain little or nothing They hurt the
employe by hurting the market for the
employer, frequently losing the latter his
market. The world was not made in a
day. The gains to be achieved are bound
to be gradual, and usually one by one.
| told the workingmen in Pittsburg a
while ago that they should learn not to
go to their employer with request first
of all, but to get acquainted with him,
show him they are interested in his busi-
ness, and then when later they wanted
something of him they would find him
more than willing TO listen The presi-
dent will be reelected
