To the memory OF Mr. Thomas VI. Rat
ciife. who died Jan. Dist, 1899:
We listen with spirits crushed
For the voice we love To hear;
But only the echo from the voice now
hushed.
Falls on our stricken ear.
And looking with tear-dimmed eye,
For the form once 60 III so fair;
We see but reminders of days gone by.
And weep o 'cr vacant chair.
But beyond this scene oi gloom,
We see through the chinks OF time.
4 dazzling scene, just beyond the tomb,
OF glory and life sublime.
And there mid the ransomed throng
With their robes made pure and white
Joining the happy redemption song,
Enshrouded in cloudless light.
There resteth our loved ones feet,
lnfettered from care or pain;
And we dry our tears at the prospect
sweet.
OF meeting our loved again.
In sadness we said goodnight,
When ended his earthly day;
But well meet again in the morning
bright.
When our tears shall be wiped away

HOPES To BEAT
WORLD s RECORD
A Well-KnOWn Boston
Clubman on a Tour
Of the Globe.

The example set by Jules Vernes ia
nous hero in "a Tour of the World in
Eighty Days" has had it's followers In
numerous instances since the appearance
of that renowned novel, but the latest as
piranI for honors in that direction is l..
r. Prince, a well-known clubman and
millionaire of Boston, who arrived here
last night on his trip around the world.
Prince has made a wager of $4,000 that
he will beat the worlds record in the
friends who assert their belief that he
will win the wager. E
Prince is a gentleman of leisure and
time often hangs heavy on his hands.
One night at the club the achievements
Of globe trotters were under discussion
the globe in eighty days was not negieci-
ed. Prince said that the trip Of a woman
connected with New York magazine
which required sixty-nine days to make
the tour could easily be beaten by a de-
termined man. One of Princes friends
said it could not be done within a shorter
period and Prince remarked that he had
$40 900 which said it could be. The chal-
lenge was Immediately accepted and
Prince had time scarcely to change his
clothes in order to make the tram for
New York. He reached Gotham in fine
trim and on the following morning was on
his way to San Francisco.
Prince telegraphed ahead for berth
on the China steamer which sails to-rnor-
row and he will be aboard when the whis-
tie is blown. On his arrival last night
he was met by several acquaintances
and, with them, he spent the evening ct
the Pacific-Union Club. 4 Prince was not
