The following letter is composed Of
lexcerpts from letter written to an
ELK Point friend which was received d
few days ago. Mr.. Nelson has been ia
the service since 1901 and has been
rapidly promoted showing the interest

Cheefu, Chink, Aug. 10. 1903.
Dear Friend
( do not feel as though I can tell you
much news for there IL scarcely any,
This Is 4 very small place. and there Ii.
nothing here Of interest, only large
United States aeet Of war vessels, If
teen all told.
Yesterday WAS Chinese holiday
and there was several men-oi-war ins
here. We dressed ship on all the
ships, and at eight o'clock In the even
| ing We illuminated ships"
II Is quite asight to see all the ships
| In 4 blaze Of light. They are outlined
from the waterline to the top Of the
masts with electric lights, powerful
Isearchlights turned on the Stars and
Stripes, and the ships name Ia illuml-
mated letters.
All noon national salute OF II guns
Was fred by all the ships In the har-
Dor. There was ~ ships to fire, max
Ing 462 guns In all, and as nearly Ill
ships have difference Ia time between
the guns some using seconds, and
others, 81 {, and 8, you can just
imagine what q noise they all made,
Fl sounded like bunch of firecrackers
under tin can, only each shot was
loud enough to give fellow separate
jar. Il looked like d regular battle.
The Fourth was rather slow here
owing to bad weather, however, we
celebrated on the Bird and sth with all
sorts of sports.
WouidE't mind II could have been
home and helped you dispose OF that
spring chicken. Ths spring chickens
we get here are ''springy" indeed,
something like rubber.
You asked II the houses out here are
all white? Perhaps it was the original
color of them, but most of them are
anything but white now.
leave the service October II, 1906,
but don't suppose will be home much
before Christmas, 1905, SO you see
there Is some time yet / can think
o. nothing more Of interest 50 will
CLOSE hoping this finds you and the
folks we'll; I remain.
Your friend,

Services in Honor Of Departed
Brethren Given at Odd Fel-
lows Hall Yesterday.
IMMENSE THRoNG ATTENDS
Program of Unusual Merit Rem
dered, to the Credit of the
Ladies and Gentlemen
Participating.

Once more have the departed breth-
rem of the Benevolent and Protective
Order ofElks been remembered in fitting
terms Of praise. and the memorial SER
vices held yesterday in Odd Fellows
hall will go down into history as trib-
ute composed of the most beautiful fac
tors in the formation necessary to such
an event-harmony, beauty and rever-
ence.
Long before the hour advertised for
commencing, o'clock, the spacious
hall was packed to the doors with an
audience typifylng the very highest
social plane Of the city. AS each per-
son entered the beautifully decorated
hall through which garlands of ever
green and potted plants had been dis
tributed with a lavish hand, one Of the
reception committee handed forth a
tastily decorated program containing
not only the itinerary, but the names
of all officers, and committees Of the
lodge, as well.
The row Of chairs around the audi
torium on three sides next the wall had
been reserved for the lodge members,
and shortly after the appointed hour,
TO the solemn music of Chopin's funeral
march, played by the orchestra, the
Elks marched in double file down the
main aisle, and thence diverting, walk
ed to their seats.
The second number, Appear, Thou
Life Divine" was then rendered by the
choir.
That organization was composed OF
the following ladies and gentlemen:
Sopranos, Mrs. George H. George, Mrs.
@. G., Fulton, Mrs. Herman Prael, Mrs.
DR.. A. A. Finch, and Miss Grace RAN
nels and Miss May Utzinger; altos,
Mrs. w. H. Barker, Miss Nellie Utzin-

Messrs. W. H. Barker, John McCue, !
Mr.. Gilmore and DR.. Barr; bassos'
w. H. Gratke, John Garner, Frank |
Carnahan, George Watkins and Mr.
Henderson. The soloists were Miss
Reba Hobson, Miss Grace Rannells,
and J. w. Belcher. Miss Laura Fox
officiated as conductress and Miss Sue
Elmore as accompanyist.
The work of the choir reflected vast
deal of credit on all concerned, and
particularly on the last two ladies men
toned. This was Miss Fox's first ex-
perience along the particular line, and
the results yesterday amply attested
her efficiency. The choir practiced
twice a week faithfully for a SOLID

Kuettner being thrown open to them on
