The accident occurred at point

every physician and nurse in the city
was called into service and hurried
to the place Of the accident on spe-

Following is letter received 10y Mr..
and Mrs. johnson from Rev. Robt Cor
don, former pastor of the First Baptist
church,
jackson, Mich, June 7, 1904.
Mr.. AND Mrs. JOHNSON,
My Dear Friends:
| find it hard to believe and make real
the sad message that came to me yester-
day, and harder still to make letter ex-
press my feelings at this time. You have
my heartfelt sympathy in this hour OF
deep affection. May the consolation
of Heaven be yours. How | long to be
with you on the morrow that we might
together seek comfort from Him who
alone can help at such a time as this,
But on account of the weakness OF my
body it would not be right for me to
attempt to travel. For two months now
| haven't been able to work-nor indeed
to leave my room and it will be three
months more before | can preach again.
You know how dear Ruby was to me
and how much | priced her friendship
and love. | counted her as one of my
own and rejoiced in her sweet, innocent
and happy life. Her smile always
blessed me and made me better and hap
pier, and for years to come she shall help
me. Such a life cannot die. In our
memory and Imagination and faith and
love she will always live. She is not in
the grave, but with her Lord in that
Land so much better than this She has
gone through the shining gates and she
waits for us.
We cannot tell why this one so much
loved has been taken, but let us still be-
lieve that Our Heavenly Father knows
and that his ways are always best. May
we be able to say, Not my will, but
thine, be done" And so this dear life
will become golden band to bind us to
things above-where Christ is. How
much | want to say something to some
what assuage your grief, but words
seem so empty and powerless.
Sorrow endureth for the night, but JOY
cometh in the morning. Dear brother
and sister let us give ourselves to the
Lord completely and live in the hope of
the glad reunion.
Yours sincerely,
RoB'T GORDON.

vlCE-ADMiRAL MAKAROFF.
Death Of the "Cossack of the Seas" a
Great Loss to Russia.


The loss Of the battleship Petro-
paylovsk is a trifing misfortune to
Russia in comparison with the loss OF
Vice Admiral Makaroff. The Car has
none too many sea-ighters, and none
at all who are worthy to rank with the
"Cossack Of the Seas" Until Makaror
arrived at Port Arthur the Russian
naval operations were characterized by
bungling and indecisiOn. No sooner had
he taken command than the remnants
of the fleet began an aggressive cam
paign that forced a radical change In
the Japanese methods of operation.
Admiral Makaroff was appointed to
the command of the Russian Pacific
feet on Feb. 81. He was one Of the
heroes Of the fighting on the River
Danube during the Russo-Turkish a
Makaronf and Skrydloff, who have
since many times been honored by
their government, were at that time
lieutenants in the Russian navy and
volunteered to make a night attack on
a powerful Turkish ironclad. With a
torpedo boat they succeeded in blow
ing up the Turkish vessel and, It was
claimed at the time, thereby made the
first successful demonstration of the
usefulness Of torpedo boats in naval
warfare.
1t was Makaroff who originated the
idea Of constructing the famous Ice
breaking steamer Ermak, which was
built on the Tyne from his designs.
1t is the largest ice-crushlng steamer
in the world, and has made several
trips into the Arctic regions.
Admiral Makarof paid three visits
to the United States, the first In 1863.
He made a tour from California to
New York in 1896, and In March, 1893,
made a flying visit to Detroit with a
party Of Russians who were looking
into the possibilities of ic%e-crushing
steamers on the great lakes with the
end in view Of constructing several for
the Russian government.
Admiral Makarof was born In 1S4a.
He served as m ensign for two years
and as liutenaut for six. During the

President Roosevelt says the one and
main lacking Of the American boys Is
conservatism. By this he means, doubt
less, that American boys are lacking
N solid qualities, that they do
not believe in the good old vir-
tues, that they are prone to set
their W pace, d~isregarding ad-
vice. The President Is mistaken.
The average American boy is your true
conservative. Attack his mothers re-
ligion or the institutions of his coun-
try and you will find out. The average
American boy has been well brought
up. And he believes in certain things
with all his heart. Mischievous2 Yes.
Restless2 Yes. Loud sometimes? Yes.
But you are mistaken If you conclude
that under his boyish gaiety there are
no well-settled convictions. He may
be by conduct a radical, but in princi-
pie and belief he Is a slayer. And
ven though he may depart for a time
from the teaching Of his family he will
return to it. American boys are the
finest in the world. They wake up to
intellectual power the quickest. They
are capable Of greater enterprises at
an earlier age; they bear heavier bur-
dens on younger shoulders; they are
the largest wage earners; they are the
most MISUNDERSTANDING; and withal,
they are made of the stuff Of which the
grandest and highest type of manhood
comes. Because, while the American
boy is apparently l~ight-hearted and
care-free he is notnecessarily frivolous.
There Is a vein Of true ore in him which
a little mining will disclose. Sooner or
later innate manhood will appear. At
bottom he is all right. Give him good
home training and a show for his life
and he will make a man of himself.
The youths Of other lands may seem
more solid and conservative. 1t Is be-
cause they are more stolid in tempera-
ment. They are less jovial and prank
ish because they are slower in develop
ment. The American boy has lnitia-
tive. He sees quickly. That puts him
in the race before his cousin across the
sea gets started. But he has staying
qualities also and he wins in the long
run because Of those qualities. If the
Presidents idea Of conservatism in
boys Is that our FESTIVE youngsters
should sit still and let moss grow on
their backs then the American boys are
not conservative.
