Tribute to Lieut.. Chenery.
Naval Alumni Spread Upon Their Minutes
Testimonial to Their Comra de's Noble
Ch;IEdCtHr.

Naval Alumni Spread Upon Their Minutes a
Testimonial to Their Comra de's Noble
Character.
Faithful to the friend of his youth, for
whom he lived a life of self-denial, Lieuten-
ant Commander Leonard Chenery died the
other day. Some of his fellow officers mem
bers of the Naval Alumni Ass socation, met
last Thursday night at the University Club
and placed on the minutes of their society a
tribute to the memory of one whose nobility
of character they knew so well.
As boy, Leonard Chenery, then strug-
CLING for recognition, was befriended by a
man who did much to aid him. The kind
ness. of the benefactor was never forgotten
by the naval officer, and years afterward,
when his friend was incapacitated for work
and was reduced to poverty, the Lieutenant
Commander, then retired, learned of his
predicament
The pay of a lieutenant commander on the
retired list is not large. The naval officer
was himself not in good health, yet he shared
what he had with the friend of his early
days, supported his declining years and
helped his family.
1t was story which he never told. Only
few OF his Intimate friends knew it, vet
year after year he bore his double burden.
The name of the man whom the Lieutenant
Commander repaid is withheld, for friends
of the naval officer wish that it be not made
public.
This is the eulogy adopted by the Naval
Alumni:
''We have heard with profound sorrow of
the death of Lieutenant Commander Leon
ard Chenery and, in seeking expression for
our sense of loss, feel that no formal state
ment, collectively made, can ftly set down
the personal grief this engenders. Many of
us knew him as a boy at the Naval School
and saw him win high honors in his class !;
others were his shipmates and messmates on
various stations, and all have witnessed in
late years his patience under grievous ply
Slcal sufferings caused by exposure and
hardships in the line of duty. All of us can
bear affectionate testimony to the brave and
kindly spirit that became even Drawer and
nobler as the end drew near. We recall
with honest pride the stern sense of duty
that during the Spanish War kept him at his
post, despite physical ailments which made
every day end in all but helpless exhaus-
tlon. Since his death we have learned d
story OF tender charity and of ennobling self
sacrifice that he hid from the world, but for
which the world is better. To all his friends
and these were. all who knew him-he
leaves the example of a hero and the loving
memory OF a true sailor
Lieutenant Commander Chenery was ad-
mltted to the Naval Achademy in 1861. He
was graduated in 1865, and subsequently ser
we'd on the Swatara and on the Pensacola.
lie was once cOmmandant Of the Mare Island
Navy Yard, and for year connected with
the United States photographic Office. He
was retired in 1881. In the war with Spain
he was recruiting officer. New York Her.

fight fire is at its start. The early use of
such apparatus would save severe losses by
fire. / also think the question of supple

Of this kind should receive consideration
and that all reasonable requests from the
engineers department should be granted.
COLLECTOR OF TAXES.
In regard to the collection of taxes [
should recommend new departure in con-
formity to Sec. of City charter and in con-
formity to the prevailing custom of many
other cities, viz. that the city should fix the
rate of compensation for the service and
elect the person most suitable for the office
at the March meeting or as soon thereafter
as conveniently may be.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
Among the most important commissions
provided by the city is its Board of Health.
This should be no sinecure. Its members
should be on the alert to see that all sani-
tary regulations are complied with, and
that literature provided by the State Board
concerning contagious and preventable dis
eases should be widely distributed, especial
ly that pertaining to consumption, small
pox, typhoid, scarletina and diphtheria-
that the usual sanitary notices should be
posted in public halls and other places where
people cOngregate, and that all complaints
for the abatement of nuisances should re-
ceive prompt and impartial attention.
SCHOOLS.
feel that our public schools have been
entrusted to competent hands, and l hope
appropriations for school purposes will be
ample. 1t is to be regretted that our school
buildings, with possibly one or two excep-
ti0ns, are antiquated and ill adapted to
school purposes; so far as air space, light
and ventilation are concerned.
That the best results cannot be attained
under such conditions is evident-but the
remedy, regret to say, is not yet in sight.
At the earliest possible moment these con-
ditiOns should be changed.

A shadow on Her Life.

Somebody once asked a tranquil old
resident of Nantucket If her life had
always run as smoothly as she could
wish; if no great sorrows or disappoint
ments had ever come to mar its seren
ity.
The old lady sat looking out of the
window for moment, and then turned
to her questioner with little smile on
her sweet face.
81 suppose you'll think it's foolish
maybe" she said, "but did have one
great disappointment, and I've never
forgotten 1t. There was a man that
came to the island once with a hand
organ and a monkey. He got as far as
the corner of our street, and | thought
he was coming right this way, but he
didn't.
81 was housed with cold and
couldn't go out to see him and his
monkey, so only caught just a
glimpse of them. They played half an
hour In the next street.
"Dlsappointments like that stay by
folks all their lives" she added, after
sympathetic ejaculation from her
visitor. "It was more than thirty years
ago, but I've never ceased regrettine
l didn't see that monkey. I've been
wonderfully blessed in every other
way, dear; but that organ-grinder
never came to the island again. never"

Allyn had once made the mistake of

year to practice law and not getting
anyone to practice upon, he had given

During his idle hours Allyn had fallen

Charles Dickens and His Cat

Charles Dickens was lover of ami
mails, and had a special fondness for
cats. One Of his favorites, known for
her devotion to Dickens as "the mas
ter's cat" used to follow him about like
dog, and sit beside him while he
wrote. One night Dickens was read
ing at a small table by the light of a
candle, with pussy, as usual, at his
elbow. Suddenly the light went out.
Dickens was much interested in his
book, relighted the candle, going on
reading. In a short time the light
again became dim, and, turning sud
denly, Dickens found puss deliberately
putting out the candle with her paw.
and looking at him appealingly as she
did so. Not till then did her master
guess what was wrong. The little
creature felt neglected and wanted to
be petted,g and extinguishing the candle
was the best device she could think of
for bringing II about.
