gamation OF the Spanish War Veterans and
the Spanish-American War Veterans
which was to have been held yesterday In
New York city, and states the reasons
which brought about the postponement at
the request Of the officers of the other or
ganization, as described by The Star sew
eral days ago.
Pending the accomplishment of ANAL
gamation," adds Col. Uren, 'it is hoped
that there will be no let up in the work of
the Spanish War Veterans. We should go
right on as though there was nothing of
the kind in contemplation. Make the or
ganization of Spanish War Veterans what
1T should be. and will be, the grand veteran
organization of the war with Spain and the
Philippine insurrection. The officers and
members of the Spanish War Veterans are
anxious for union Of all like organizations
growing out of the war with Spain, and a
failure to bring 1t about, If such happens
will be sincerely regretted by me-"
The order is countersigned by Adjutant
General l.. c. Dyer. Colonel Urell is much
gratiied with the marked increase in men,
bership thus early in his administration,
the total membership being increased to
nearly $50. 600 members.

among our colored population. The death
rate among whites and blacks was 20 73-1OO
per LOCO per annum. Among the coiored
population alone it was 80 37-1O0, and among
the whites 16 43-1OO, nearly double the num-
Der of colored to whites in city where all
human beings practically live under the
same conditions. The death rate among
children is of great moment, being "A 400
among whites to 123 200 among colored.
These conditions demand investigation and
the enactment of laws, and the enforcement
of which will reduce the death rate amog
the blacks. The result will be the lessening
of the death rate and the lifting of our

CHURCHILL COUNTY.
Call Meeting Of Citizens to Discuss New
Railroad.

Senator w. w. Williams and Com
missioner Fred Small paid this office
visit today and instructed US to puo-
lish notice to all citizens Of Churchill
to meet at Fallon next Tuesday for the
purpose of discussing the proposition of
building a branch railroad into the
county. The meeting will be called to
order at . p. m. in New River hall.
Messrs Williams and Small returned
home saying they were greatly encour-
aged and thought ultimate success
would rest with the people Of Churchill.
The time is ripe for action. Every
body is wanted at Fa.lon that day and
everybody is needed. No other factor
would so much increase the wealth of
the county and every man in it as a
railroad. The immense and varied re-
sources of the valley would develop
sooner under this influence than in any
other way. 1t is the duty Of all to at
tend the meeting. which is called after
thorough investigation Of all matters
concerning the project,

Che Death Of
HIiee Jacklliall

The Angel of Death came to the
home of DR.. E. A. Jackman to bear
from the Land Of Time to the Land of
Eternity his gentle daughter Alice, one
OF the sweetest, tenderest, and lowell
est little maidens that ever graced a
household. The mighty shadow of
the hereafter cast itself upon her with
appalling suddenness and left her par
ents, schoolmates. and friends with
aching hearts.
Alice was born in WadsWorth some
thirteen years ago and passed her life
in our midst Her grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. William Macpherson, have
resided here since the coming Of the
railroad Her parents have been dis
tinguished people in our midst for
many years. There is scarcely man,
woman, or child in the community who
is not acquainted with the families and
all tender their sylnpathies to the grief
stricken ones.
The taking of this beautiful girl Just
entering upon useful existence is ore
of the mysteries. and the key seems
to be. BLESSED are the pure in heart.
for they shall see God" with the inef-
fable consolation that the bloom and
blossom of immortal life is to be given
her in heaven.
Standing in silence b. the open
grave, with sorrowing school compan-
ions around, the weeping friends who
had known her from babyhood, the
prayer of the minister. it seemed that.
whilst the situation was full of grief,
yet it was suggestive Of and instructive
with hope Of everlasting joy and hap
piness. The warm breath of spring.
the rays Of sunshine, the young leaves
on the trees, the grass just springing
up through the soil. all symbolical of
new and beautiful life.
We would say to her parents: But
few homes are without their unforgot-
ten dead. 1t is the common fate. We
long to lift the veil of mystery which
hides our beloved ones from our en-
brace. All is vain. We are sustain
ed, soothed. and upheld in bereave-
ment by faith that the living and the
dead are not lost to each other. Alice
shall awake from the tomb and arise
at the dawn Of new day to put on i'm
mortality and eternal life, to meet you
in The great beyond when the inevitable
summons comes.

Miss Mary Jeffers, of the WOman's
College, Baltimore. delivered the sec
ond of a series of lectures before the
students of Friends School, yesterday
afternoon Her subject was "A Walk
Through FOmpeii,' and was very in
teresting, particularly to those who
had read Bulwer Lytton's remarkable
novel, THE Last Days of Pompeii
Miss Jefiers has travelled extremely
in Europe and she has taken many
views OF theTnteresting places she has
visited and many of these are used to
illustrate her lectures. She has an
easy conversational manner that lends
a charm to her addresses.
In her lecture yesterday afternoon
Miss Jeffers told of the supposed every
day life and occupations of the people
Of Pompeii. The views showed their
homes with the marvellous dadoes en-
bodying scenes from Ovid, the Iliad
and the Odessy. some Of them being
in the rich colorings known to the peo-
pie of the buried city, but which have
retained their hues after 1900 years.
The views also showed the manner
in which, the excavations is conducted
and the means taken to preserve them.
