company will be Holsters. Wide boun-
Diary lines are made, and the fisher
men join hands and try to close up
about one of the Holsters. AS this
person is free to move about, the long
chain of fishermen have trouble trying
to capture him. When caught, he
joins the chain of fishermen until the
last lobster is captured. The Holsters
then drop out of the chain and the
fishermen inclose them. A lively
struggle follows until the chain is
broken. This ends the game.

Graves of Lanier and Booth.

In speaking Of Poe one cannot but
refer here to the graves of two other
young men the tragedy of whose lives
is known to the world At the foot of
a gently sloping hill in historic old
Greenmount cemetery sleeps Sidney
Lanier the poet. Save simple little
white headstone, without lettering or
design, his grave is absolutely un-
marked 1t lies in a lot owned by
Lawrence Turnbull, and beside the
poet are buried two little children
whom he dearly loved.
In another part of the cemetery, its
long, low, ivy covered mound lying
behind a slender marble plinth, is the
grave of John Wilkes Booth. 1t has
no slab or stone to show whose body
lies beneath, and this is intentional.
The marble plinth marks the center
of the lot In which the entire Booth
family is buried, including Junius
Brutus Booth, the elder. From all
points of the country daily visitors,
from the theatrical profession chiefly,
make their way to this marble shaft,
and when they depart the silent sym
pathy of their hearts for the i'll starred
young actor whose mistaken zeal
plunged nation into grief finds ex-
preston in the floral tributes that re-
main behind on his obscure resting
place.

Two generations have passed away
since the body of Edgar Allan Poe
was laid to rest in a vault in old
Westminster Presbyterian church
yard at Baltimore. For twenty-five
years no other recognition was ac-
corded to the dust of genius until
Miss Sarah Sigourney Rice, principal
of the Western Female High School,
collected a fund for a simple granite
monument. 1t was not until 1870,
however, that the body of the poet,
together with those of his child wife,
Virginia Glenn, and her mother, Mrs
Maria Glen, was disinterred and
placed beneath the monument.
Now, however, the city of his birth
is about to give tardy recognition to
Poes genius, and Baltimoreans.
through the Municipal Art society, are
contributing to a $4,000 fund designed
to erect an imposing shaft.
When the fund is raised and the
question of site for the monument
comes up for determination, there is
going to be obstinate resistance on the
part of many citizens against any pro
posed removal of Poe's body from
Westminster churchyard. The argu-
ment is advanced that 1t would now
be nothing short of sacrilege to de-
stroy that spot which, for more than
half a century, has woven halo of
romance about Westminster, and has
brought thither thousands of reveren-
tial visitors. In all decency and fair
ness, the supporters of this argu-
ment declare, the shaft should stand
where the poets bones now rest The
Poe family, whose descendants are
numerous in the city, have not yet
expressed themselves on the matter.
Grave In Full Public View.
So far as publicity is concerned,
Westminster churchyard is far from
being a retired place. 1t lies at the
intersection of Fayette and Green
streets within a few squares OF the
heart of the business quarter. The
poets grave and its simple headstone
are in full view of thousands who pass
the spot daily on their way down
town.
A movement has also been started
TO endow the room in which Poe died.
as an asylum for sick authors and
literary men. This room is in what
is now known as the Church Home
and Infirmary, but in the poets day
1t was known as the Washington hos
pital The famous death chamber is
now Occupied by the Rev. +. III. Pat
tison, pastor of Emmanuel Protestant
Episcopal Church. The fund neces-
sary for its endowment is placed at
| $4,000.
The mention of old Washington hos
pital inevitably brings up afresh the
memory of Poe's tragic death and the
discrepancies in the various accounts
| of it. The grief of that tragedy has
| always made 1t tender subject with
members of the Poe family, but re-
Gently Miss Elizabeth Ellicott Poe, a
third cousin OF the poet, has broken
the family reticence on the subject
and has given publicity to certain
facts which apparently set forth in
their true light the incidents surround
ing Poe's death.
