Memorial Services.
mobile Life is euded now.

"a noble life is euded now,
We mourn its loss with sorrow deep;
The hand of death has touched the brow
OF one we loved, for whom we weep.
The soul of one we loved is gone,
With angels and with Christ to dwell;
But back from heaven we hear the song,
The Father doeth all things well.
Man may appoint, God disappoint,
We cannot tell the reason why;
But soon his purpose we will know,
And see mis- goodness by and by"
In due obeisance to the procla-
nation of Mayor Alexander, every
business house in Crested Butte
closed at five o'clock last Thursday
evening. At the hour of seven
procession, headed by the band and
composed of long line of citizens
and the Fire Dept. with decorated
and draped apparatus, formed at the
City Hall and with mournful tread
marched to the U. @. church to
attend the memorial services in
honor of our late beloved executive.
The exercises were opened by the
rendition by the choir of the hymn
"Lead, Kindly Light" A prayer
by Rev. Read followed, after which
the choir softly sang Some Time
Well Understand" Prof. Q. S.
Strickler was the first speaker and
he paid strong tribute to the viz
tues of him so rudely stricken
down. A male quartette then rem
dered "Called Home" Next was
an address by H. T. Engle, who
with reverential mien and tear
glistening in his eye, advanced TO
the front and in a most impressive
and eloquent manner eXtolled the
grand life of the martyr, who was
his comrade in time of war and
leader in time of peace. Rev. Read
concluded the speaking by an able
discourse upon the strong points
of the late presidents honorable
career and his wholesome example.
The audience then arose and with
bowed heads joined in singing
Nearer, My God To Thee" fol-
lowing which the band, stationed
in the lobby, softly played the
beautiful strains of that hymn.
The benediction by Rev. Read
closed the services, and the large
crowd quietly dispersed to their
homes.

Captain Ward Goes Down
With His Ship.

San Francisco, Feb. 2S.-The Pacific
mail steamer Rio De Janeiro ran on a
hidden rock while entering the Golden
Gate early yesterday morning in a
dense fog. She sank few minutes
after striking. 1t is thought nearly
$50 persons were drowned, but it is
impossible to ascertain the exact num-
Der owing to the fact that Purser John
Rooney, who had the passenger list
and the roster of the crew, is among
the missing. The most prominent
passenger on the steamer was Rounse-
vile Wildman, United States consul
to Hongkong, who was accompanied
by his wife and two children. 1t is
thought all We're drowned. The ship
was in command of Pilot Frederick
Jordan when she struck He was res
cued. Captain William Ward went
down with his vessel AS nearly as
can be learned, there were 234 people
on board the Rio De Janeiro, as fol.

reached the wreck. A number Of
drowning people were rescued by Ital-
ian fishermen, the bodies of two white
women, three Chinese and Japanese
being brought in by tugs. Search for
more victims continued all day.
From all accounts it appears the of
ticers were cool and gave the neces-
sary orders with the least possible
excitement Capt. Ward, who was on
deck when the vessel struck, at once
gave orders to the crew on watch to
hurry the passengers onto the forward
deck AT the same time the quarter
master sounded the signal for the fire
drill and within five minutes all men
were at their stations.
There was not much confusion until
fifteen minutes after the striking, the
bow of the vessel suddenly plunged
under. Then there was a wild rush
for the boats. Two boats had already
been lowered, others were getting away
as rapidly as the trained discipline of
the crew could prepare them. Dark
ness was all about and added to the
horror.
One boat got clear of the sinking
vessel and then stood by to help in
picking up those who had no time to
get into boats and were in the water
Another boat got away but was drift

CHAPTER XXI.

II Violet had sroken the truth that
evening, when she sat down to dinner,
she would have owned that the beauty
and magnificence which surrounded
her were most delightful The dining
room was large, lofty apartment con-
tanning some superb pictures. The
table was picture in itself, with it's
collection of plate, glass, glossy linen,
beautiful flowers, rare fruits, and
costly wines. To her uninitiated eyes,
the ceremony at the table seemed
very elaborate, but no words, no sign
escaped her; and the dowager Lady
RIVERS, watching her keenly, decided
that she must be accustomed to good
society. as she evinced no surprise.
With some suspense the two ladies
had awaited her return to the draw
ingroOm.
mo one can tell what she is like
with that veil over her face the elder
woman had declared.
Mother and daughter were standing
together when husband and wife re-
turned. They saw a girlish, graceful
figure draped in glistening folds;
they saw white, rounded arms, bare
to the shoulder, dimpled and warm,
clasped with costly bracelets of purple
amethyst and gold; a beautiful white
neck, gracefully arched; a peerless
face, and a queenly head with crown
of golden hair. Purple heart's-ease
lay in the fair hair and touched the
white neck. 1t was the fairest picture
of youth and beauty under the sun.
A thrill of admiration went through
the hearts of both women when they
saw her-an almost imperceptible
smile passed over the face of the
Countess Of Lester

The Rio De Janeiro was three days
overdue from Hongkong, via Honolulu,
when she arrived and the dense fog
prevailing at the time induced Pilot
Jordan to bring her to anchor until
he could see his way clear through
the gateway. She laid to until about
4:3O, when the atmosphere cleared up
and she started under slow bell
toward Point Bonita. All went well
until $40, when she struck. Most of
the passengers were below at the time
and 1t is believed many were drowned
in their berths.

ed around close up under the bow of
the steamer AS the forward end of
the vessel plunged downward, the
PROV caught the small boat and cut it
in two.
The Fort Point life saving crew was
out drilling at 7:40 o'clock when the
fishing boat with the first survivors
passed in and reported the wreck. The
rescued people were taken ashore to
the life-saving station and the crew
started out to the wreck but there was
nothing to be found. The south side
crew came on about an hour later. It's
captain was of the opinion that the
Rio had blown up after sinking. All
the woodwork was splintered, and
other details known to seafaring men
support this theory.
The City of Rio Janeiro was an
iron steamer of 350S gross tonnage
and 2,275 net. She was built by J.
Roach & Sons, at Chester. Pa. in
1873. The vessel was owned by the
Pacific Mail Steamship Co., and had

port January %.
A numer of Italian fisnermen who
were just starting out saw the sinking
of the Rio and at once fastened TO
render assistance. While all this was
going on Captain Ward was directing
the passengers and trying to keep
them from a panic. He succeeded
only partly, as many of the terrified
people rushed to the ratings and
jumped overheard. Some of these
were picked up and others drowned.
The Chinese crew, numbering over
100, were terrorized Some huddled in
little groups, chattering in fear;
others crouched close to the deck
moaning pitifully, while many jumped
into the sea. Capt. Ward remained on
deck until the vessel settled to such
an extent that the water was engulf
ing him. Then he went up on the
bridge and from there continued. to is
sue directions, although by this time
confusion was so great that but few
paid any attention to his commands.
The steamer sank almost immedi-
ately.
The wreck lies about three.fourths
of mile south of Fort Point, about a
thousand yards off Rocky shore. The
smokestack and portion Of the upper
works of the ill-fated steamer are
visible.

Mount Holly IN. ~ Letter

Mount Holly ~. - Letter.
The prelude to what will probably
prove one of the most interesting MUIR
der trials in the history of this state
was written during this week, when
Mrs. Mabel Haines of Delanco was
held after preliminary hearing here
for the action of the grand jury. The
charges against her are for offenses
so cruel and inhuman, including the
deliberate murder of a helpless child,
that the case will have a wide public
ity.
Mrs Haines is a young and not I'M
prepossessing woman and has stood
high in the estimation of the people of
Delanco. She is the second wife of
Howard Haines, the first wife having
died few years ago, leaving baby
girl, Gwendolin, after her. 1t is for
killing this child that Mrs. Haines now
finds herself held for the grand jury.
The Childs Death.
A short time ago Gwendolin died.
The day of her death Mrs. Haines con-
suited physician at his office, tell
ing him that the child had a cold.
Having obtained some aconite pellets
Mrs. Haines went home, but soon re-
turned to the Doctors Office and said
that Gwendolin had commissions. When
the physician reached the Haines
home he found the child on the floor
dead. The little one was cut and
bruised about the head, and its nose
was crushed in. Mrs. Haines stated
that the injuries were old ones, but
the physician, having his suspicious
aroused, refused to issue burial per-
nit. He thought it strange that he
had not been told about the injuries
when Mrs. Haines visited him, nor
been made acquainted with the fact
that the child, according to the step
mothers statements, had been subject
to commissions
The family then called in Coroner
Wells, of Burlington. Mrs. Haines ex-

women's manufactures. The general
public little realize the extent and i'm
portance of this class Of industries. 1t
has been made apparent to the Board
of Women Managers of the exposition,
however, by the numerous applications
from prospective exhibitors. One wom-
an makes rugs and has built up quite
an industry. She keeps a large num-
Der of wives and daughters of New
England farmers busy with her work.
Another manufactures artistic jewel
settings, another exquisite things in
pottery, another carved and decorative
leather goods, etc. In fact, the wom-
ems manufactures are SO many that
it would require much space to enumer-
ate them all. The committee on ap-
piled arts Of the Board of Women
Managers has arranged to establish in
the manufactures and liberal arts
building commodious booth in which
articles manufactured by women may
be exhibited at nominal cost to the
exhibitors, and arrangements will be
made under which orders may be tax
en- for articles like those displayed.

Cen. Booth.s Good WORE.

The good work done by the Volun-
teers of America, the Christian enter
prise of which Gen. Ballington Booth
and Maud 3. Booth are the leaders, has
increased philanthropic and religious
benefits to the country. The organiza-
ton is just entering its fifth year, and
has preached to nearly 100000 people
annually. Last year over $4,000 was
raised and distributed for charitable
work. A home has been opened at
Newark, N. j., for young men leaving
prison. Hotels for poor men have been
opened in Brooklyn, New York and
Chicago, and spacious home has been
purchased on Long Island for dis
charged prisoners. The organization
is also in touch with 1900 incarcerat-
ed men in various state prisons, and
the reform that is spreading among
them is encouraging.
