Formal Request Made in
the Case of Converted
Cruiser Lena.
GOVERNMENT IS WILLING
Departments Are Consider.
ing How Extensive Dis
mantlement Must Be.

Russia has applied finally TO the
United States for permission TO dis
mantle thei converted cruiser Lena at
San Francisco The United States is
willing to grant this request. and the
State and Navy Departments are now
considering how extensive the disman-
tlement OF the Russian cruiser must be.
Captain Berlinsld. commanding the
Lena, was authorized by his govern
ment to make application for permis-
sion to dismantle the Lena and allow
II TO remain I'm American waters until
the close Of the war. He applied TO
Rear Admiral Goodrich. who immedi-
ately referred the request to Washing
ton this morning. II has been consid-
cred BY the President and all the heads
OF the departments concerned in the
matter. and the Administration is
known TO have expressed a willingness
10 grant the favor asked by Russia.
To Keep Crew on Island.
Although the extent Of the dismantIe-
ment Of the Lena and the disposition
OF its crew has not been decided upon
as yet 10y the President and his ad-
visers. il is known that the Navy De-
partment favors keeping all the Russian
crew on Angel Island until the close or
The wal, and the President viii prob
ably approve this recommendation
which EaS been referred to him. The
Lena carries only four small guns. which
can be removed In an hour. Navy De-
partmelt officials think the removal OF
these guns is sufficient dismantlement
and II is not likely tnat anything further

All the details OF the dismantlement Of
the Lena are now under consideration
and the conditions upon which the yes

Passing of Mrs. Brazie.

"The death of Mrs. w. A. Brazie in Tomstone yesterday August % is q matter of exceptional pathos, says the Tombstone Propspector. A noble father and devoted husband Is left to mourn the one true ob- feet of his life, while five little children, trained and nurtured in all the splendid precepts which only christian mother can impart, are left behind by that gentle spirit, the most sacred of all human rcla- tions, the loving and immaculate mother, friend and guardian, at the mention of whose name all true me remove their hats and bow in stinctively in reverence. The heart felt sympathy of host of friends goes out the father and the little children in this, the direst afflic- tion."
 W. A. Brazie is U. s. customs inspector at this port, having for q time been deputy collector at the sub-port of La Osa. He came to Arizona from West Virginia for the benefit of his wife's health, which had for long time been bad.
 Mir. Brazie thought the climate of Tombstone would benefit his wife, and he went there with his family.
 Last Monday he received tele- gram announcing the sad news that the end was near, and he inn mediately hurried to his dying wife's bedside

Saved the MOney-Bag.

Last Saturday the two Misses Ayres.
of Berlin, started for Philadelphia on
the noon train, and when near Shovel
station the handbag of one of them.
cont aiming $3.50, was by some accident
dropped from the car window. The
conductor was notified. He promptly
stopped the train and started search,
without result. The young ladies. in
great distress, without money or tickets.
got off at Showell's. The section gang.
Pennsylvania Railroad men, were order
ed to make an exhaustive search. They
did so. even moving the marsh grass.
and concluded the handbag must have
fallen into the water. Mr.. Charles Cal
houn, the resourceful boss, went to IA
nearby mill, procured two l6-foot laths
fixed them together in the style of oy ster
tougs and renewed the search. The bag
was recovered in six feet of water, with
its contents intact.
The money represented the years $
saving of two ladies, who are business
women, and also the success of another
year, as the money was to be invested in
fall and winter goods. The people of
Berlin, who are always zone i'll trouble
or adversely" appreciate highly the
courtesy and interest of the Pennsylvau.
ia Railroad men. and the work done so
|intelligently and promptly. The Penn
sylvania officials having shown their in
terest so conspicuously in this case, crt-
ates the decided impression that they
are not Indifferent TO the needs of the
people when attention is directed to their
necessities.
The Berliners would therefore ask, in
in faith and hope. that the officers ri the
Delaware division of the Pennsylvania,
railroad will come and look at the ac-
commodations they give the travelling
public at this point. The Baltimore.
Chesapeake and Atlantic end of the
Union Depot is even worse. with accom-
dation for one drunk or three sober men
on the one bench provided as furniture
in its 16 X l4-foot waiting room. No
shelter or water is provided for the
great crowds who daily suffer in sum
mer and winter from this neglect. There
have been as many as 500 tickets sold
from this station III one day. Passengers
transferring from the Pennsylvania
railroad to the Baltimore, Chesapeake
and Atlantic have TO ask the hospitality
of persons living near the station on ac-
count of the absence of all the usual
comforts of railroad station. 1t is an
especial hardship for old persons. inva-
lids and young children to be obliged to
stand in the sun or rain. as they are
compelled to do, while waiting for
another train.
