YOUNG LAMB LAID At REST.
A LARGE AND IMPRESSIVE
FUNERAL SERVICE.
A DetachmentsF From Companies M
And G Attend In Foil
Military Dress

The funeral this afternoon of
Charles q. Lamb, who died on Wed
nesday at the Emergency Hospital of
peritonitis, following an operation for
appendicitis, was one of the most i'm.
pressive that has ever taken place in
Annapolis and the large .concourse of
people who paid the last respects to
him testified strongly to the affection
and esteem in which his associates
and the community held him.
Services were conducted at st.
Anne's Church and the grave by the
Rev. Joseph p. McComas, the rector.
Accompanying the remains to the
grave was a detachment of his school
mates, being all the members of the
st. Johns battalion of cadets now in
town, and provisional company con
sisting of soldiers of Companies M and
q, the two local organizations of the
First Maryland Regiment. Young
Lamb was a student of St John IS
College at the time of his death and
had been an sorignial member of Com
pany M and afterwards hospital stew
ard in the First Regiment. His for
mer companions very gladly offered
their services in token of their regar d
for their late companion.
Ihe detachment OF militia was com.
manded by Captain Hugh X. Riley,
commanding officer of Company NJ,
and the st. John cadets were under
charge of Major Armein Smith, the
cadet commandsnt. A firing squad
from the college fired three volleys
over the grave and Musician James
Casey blew the taps very beautifully.
A circumstance connected with this
part of the ceremony was that Musi.
clan Casey and young Lamb were the
two original buglers of Company Nj
and as such were thrown together
when in the service. Musician Casey,
therefore, felt deeply the sad duty
which he performed Mr.. James S.
Taylor, directed the funeral, which
was most impressive in all its details
The pallbareres were Harry Jones.
Clarence White, W. NJ. Feldmeyer.
Albert Winchester, Harry Rullman
and John Strohm, all companions Of
the deceased. Owing to the popular
ity of the young man the funeral was
one of the largest that has taken place
at st. Anne's Church for some time.

The lecture room of the PRESBYTERIAN
Church was crowded last night with
delighted crowd of boys and girls,
accompanied by their teachers and

and was almost out of breath. He
shook himself and said he had come
to give TO every good little girl and
boy box of candy and an orange, and
straight way began to distribute them
until every little girl and boy had re-
ceived one. He then went throu gin
the audience and shook hands with
the children, many Of whom shied
out of his way.
After the children had all been
served he said he had been requested
by the good people of the Presbyter
ian Church to remember their faithful
nastor, and Justify called for Pastor
Bell, who came forward and TO whom
he presented an envelope bearing some
$50 in gold coin. The pastor heartily
thanked Santa for this liberal gift
from his parishioners. and said he fully
appreciated their kindness. Santa
then called for Master Harry Schreyer,
the boy organist. and through the
assistant superintendent, w. q. Gott,
presented him box containing a SO
gold piece, in appreciation Of his faith
ful services the past year as organist.
1t was quite a surprise to Harry and
he smiled all over his face, and thank
ed Santa for his kind remembrance.
