ssThe song OF woe
Is after all, an earthly song"
I shall not at this time attempt to
give a sketch of the life of Mrs. Gates.
She is well known to all here present,
having lived most of her life among
you. You have noted her wonderful
courage and buoyancy of spirit, her
originality in thought and brilliancy
of mind and Versatility of talents, her
large undertakings, her marvellous
energy and industry, which may have
hastened her Journey through the
work. :
The Gradatial club, to which the de-
ceased once belonged as a charter
member. is represented here today in
this srihnte of flowers, q token of their
respect and affection, ''Tis sweet to be
remembered and to know that there is
that in human fellowship that is per-
manent and abiding"
These children, ever dear to the
mothers heart, are doubly dear to her
today. You cannot think that you are
now forgotten of her who loved you SO
well-she whose spirit has gone on
before. Determine, my dear young
friends, to ivet true and noble lives and
so to fulfil all of your mothers fond
desires for you.
l do not wish to pass within the vel
of personal sorrow, too sacred for en-
trance to any but the dear elder
brother. But l am glad to remind you
that GU do not suffer here alone, to
day. This church is full of sympa
thetic hearts. l need not remind such
as you, the parents of this dear daugh
ter, who has been with you in presence
or sympathy for these now thirty mine
years, where the sources of consola
ton are. The comforts of the divine
sympathy which you have, through SC
many active years in the ministry; ex

FINE TENNIS AT MEADOW BROOK.
Larneds Defeated by Hardy Brothers
Pacific COaxt t.hnmpiOns.

More than the usual amount of brilliant
and exciting tennis was crowded into the
second day $ play of the Long Island cham
pionship tournament on the courts of the
Meadow Brook Club yesterday. The dou-
bles furnished the star performance of the
day, the contest being in the first round, in

were kept on tiptoe with excitement. In the

of victory.
At the start of this match w. A. Larned,
the veteran. gave evidence of being in top
form. Young e. L, Larned also showed
burst of brilliant play. and the pair cap
tured the first set with ease Not until the
Larneds had gained Lead of A. in the sec
ond set did the Hardy brothers strike their
gait. All along they had been at disad-
vantage because of their inability to smash
the lohhs that their opponents sent high
over The net. As forlorn hope Samuel
HARDY began to hit the ball hard and that.
together with the clever center line passing
OF Sumner Hardy. pulled them out of the
the set.
With the score at one set all. the Cali
forn,anS began to play in the deciding set
without the usual rest, although the pace
IN the struggle had been exceedingly fast.
Again the Larneds tactics placed them in
the lead. which they held at Al and also at

tennis that was not only spectacular. but
proved that the Hardys masters of
the game Time aHd time again they passed

between deuce and vantage. Both the Lar

Wrenn. jr. The Pfifctbnians were arratic
and ragged in their team work at times
and did not show their true form. This
gave the Wrenn sbrothers an advantage
which they placef TO gpod account. In the

for gold and a chance to fight Jeffries for
the championship. Both fighters look for
ward so confidently-to a victory in their
twenty-five round bout that it seems a pity
that one of them has to be disappointed.
Fitzsimmons figures on finishing the Ohio
man within ten rounds. and IS willing to
bet at proper odds that Rubin will not
answer the gong for the eleventh round
Lanky Bob is more than satisfied with his
condition and has let up in the hard road
work which he has been doing and will
devote the time between now and the fight
to very light gymnasium work. The ex-
champions eye Is as clear as 1t is possible
to be. confidence pervades him and his ply
slcal condition Is Incompatible. He looks
the picture of old Fitz, only 1t might be
said he is heavier. He is silent as to the
weight.
Fitz says his arm is good, even though
he cannot straighten it. The hot towel ap-
pileation is being used by him and will be
right up to the day of the fight. Il am
glad. said Fitzsimmons yesterday, that
my hard training is over. It's pretty tire
some task to get out and run for ten miles
on day like today. when the sun is beat
ing down strong enough to frizzle eggs
Ruhlln did his last work with the punch
ing bag and sand bag at Bath Beach yes
terday. A couple more tricks which pushed
themselves to the forepart of Corbett's
brain were divulged to him by Jim, and
Gus practiced them until perfection was
reached. He did not in any way deviate
from his usual course of work, and after
1t was all over he said:
We'll, the next time 1 use these things
1t will be to prepare for Champion JET
fries
The Akron Giant Is every bit as positive
as Fltz of the fight being over before the
end of the tenth round, but he, of course
picks himself as the winner. Both men are
now down to the weight at which they will
light. The rest which they will take from
now on may add a couple of pounds, but
not enough to count for a great deal with
men of their size.
Lanky Bob weighs 170 pounds and the
Akron Giant 195. Even this difference of
twenty-five pounds does not seem to bother
t1tz, and he says If Rubin weighed $50
pounds he would still be sure winner.

How Expresses Drop Men.
N the New York Mail and Fxnrnss

FROM the New YORK Mail and Express.
While coming from Chicago last week"
said a prominent business man of this city
Il noticed a peculiar railroad custom which
interested me considerably. l happened to
be in the last car of the limited when the
train stopped in a desolate spot between
stations. The rear brakeman, of course
dropped off and went down the track with
flag to warn any train that might be fol-
lowing us. In a moment two We started
up again. but minus the brakeman.
Il wondered at this. but was still more
surprised later on to see the same thing
repeated when We were obliged to stop on
account of a threatened hot box. Upon
Inquiry l found that this was the custom
on fast trains. Sometimes. If we have lots
of time, said the conductor. we whistle
for the men to come in, but in most cases
We leave them to be picked up by the next
train. or to walk to the nearest station
' But isn't that rather hard on the meH?'
I asked. oh, it's part of the business he
replied. 4 have known of cases where men
dropped on In this way were frozen TO
death or waylaid by tramps. but the rail-
roads have to make the time and that's
why it's done. i have seen trains running
with only conductor aboard them, al
times. because the rest of the crew had
been left behind In just this way"
