LOSS OF CAPT. DosS.

LOSS OF CAPT. DoSS.
Capt. Doss, who was drowned,
was an old river pilot He was
making the trip for pleasure with
his son, Pilot Harry Doss, and
when his body was found, mile or
so below the wreck, he had on all
his clothing and life preserver,
1t is believed he died from the
shock.
H. T. Gardner, of Logansport,
Ind, was one of the passengers.
He relates his experience as fol
lows:
About 4 O'Clock I was awakened
bv the electric bells and the screams
of passengers. My stateroom was
half way back. l put on a life-pre-
server and my clothes and went out
and jumped overheard. | was al
most caught under the wheel. and
saw one man drown who was car
RED under the boat by the swift
current. l was badly bruised about
the limbs, but am a good swimmer
and managed to get ashore.
MOST PITIFUL CASE.
The case of Mrs. Sherman Nc
Cullum is most pitiful. With her
three children she was going to Ca
ruthersville, Mo-, to join her hus-
band. She jumped overheard and
landed in the yawl, but her children
were not so fortunate, as they land
ed in the water and she saw them
sink from sight. She is nearly
frantic with grief. The youngest
OF the little ones was recovered OPP
posite Mound City and its remains
were identified by the poor mother.
Another terribly sad circumstance
was the loss of one of the children
of Pilot Al. Pritchard. The little
one was tossed from the burning
steamer into the arms waiting to
catch it in the yawl, but its head
struck against the side of the boat
and it tell into the river and was
lost. The mother is nearly wild
with grief.

part of his ministerial work. He also took part in the organization of the Sec- ond and Third Presbyterian churches
 When, Tn 1890, he ceased to be pastor of the First Presbyterian church, upon the organization of the Central Presbyterian church, he became its pastor, and during the twelve years of that pastorate under his administration, a commodious. ele- gant church building has been erected. ana large congregation collected. His name will be inseparahly connected with the history of Presbyterianism in Bir- mirgham. He is always taking care of his charge, laboring for his charge, and look ing after them. It Is a joke of one of his friends when he finds Dr. Handley out In the suburbs, greeting the doctor with: those few sheep of yours" and then the two laugh, for the doctor is truly A shepherd, and while one never sees the crook, he knows that the wayward sheen will not be lost for the want of looking after.
 In the recognition of his eminent ser vice, in 1887 the Southwestern University. Clarksville, Tenn, conferred upon him the degree of doctor of divinity.
 pr. Hapdlsy has been twice married. and has six children living three sons and three daughters.
 Camp Hardee lovingly presents this brief sketch of its chaplain, Dr. L. & HGndley, and only regrets that the mod esty Of the doctor makes this sketch 30 br'ef.

Camp Hardee Is proud of it's chaplain. and will gladiy do him any honor the veterans can confer on comrade.

From the London Answers.
 Lord Roberts once found himself the center of circle of new friends in a London club. There was a very tall gen. tleman present who, evidently believing himself to shine as a wit, seized every opportunity to raise a laugh at the other peoples expense. On being introduced to Lord Roberts, the wit bent down nat ronizingly to his lordship. and remarked
 T have often heard of you, but''-shad- | ing his eyes with one hand as though the famous general, being so small. could be sen only with dfficulty-'I have never seen you"
 To this Lord Roberts promptly replied:

 Everyone present was delighted with Lord Roberts reply, and the wit, soon afterwards disappeared

 Charlie Reed who has for many years been a conspicuous lover of the turf has decided to withdraw, sell his horses and close up his breeding farm. Like a gall lant old fellow, that he is he has made an offer of his colors-which are very dear to his heart-to Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Duryear, who are embarking as stable owners under the racing name of MT. Roslyn. MT. Reed says: l have what I think are the most beautiful col- ors ever seen on a racetrack. If the ladies will have them I shall esteem 1t an honor to present the colors to them They have had a long and honorable his tory and they have been carried to vic- tory by some of the greatest horses Of the American turf. They are the colors carried by the horses of the first Lord Chesterfield, and this Is the combination: Cherry jacket with blue sleeves, cherry cap with blue tassel. Tradition has 1t that the colors are the luckiest ever car ried by a racehorse, and surely l could make no better gift than the gift of good luck. Susan Ann, the greatest mare of her day, carried them, so did Susan Ann's greatest daughter, Thora, ma tron of the farm of Mrs. Whitney's fath- er-in-law. And down through the years they were worn by the riders of Buada- mante and Conny Wood. Henlopen and Timpothy, Troubt, Disturbance and Day Star I shah be obliged if you will pre- sent the suggestion to the ladies with my compliments. It is well meant. and with it go the best wishes of an old man, who has grown gray and been fairly success full on the turf for the success Of the venture of the new firm"
