He spoke of the two professions of Jesus:
The first on Palm Sunday, when He en-
tered Jerusalem as king. and the second
when He bore his cross to Calvary. These
the speaker compared to the stages in the
life of man. saying that he makes his pro-
cession into Jerusalem before he is forty,
then tarries awhile, and goes down to In
evitable death. In speaking of dying with
no hone for future life, DR.. Hubbard
described wildly the pitifulness of the
death of an agnostic, surrounded by his
family whom he had taught to believe that
there is no hereafter.

STEAMER BLAKE TO BE SOLD.
Coast and Geodetic Survey Getting Rid
of Old Steamers.

Orders have been sent out from the bu-
reau of the coast and geodetic survey in
this city for the sale of the old steamer
Blake, now lying at the Curtis bay station
near Baltimore. The sale Of the old
steamer which will take place within the
next month is in keeping with the policy
of the coast survey service in getting rid
of all the old vessels and replacing them
with new steamers
The Blake is over thirty years old and Is
one of the historic vessels of the coast sur
veying service. The steamer was designed
and built at the yards OF William E.
Wodau & Co. at Baltimore in 1874. and
has performed valuable service in the in
in surveys of the Atlantic coast from East
port, Me-, to the Rio Grande, and has Wis
tied nearly every port OF any size on the
Atlantic coast. On several occasions In
past years she has dropped her anchor in
the Washington harbor and spent several
days on each visit.
Lately she has been employed with the
Bache and other vessels in work about
the coast of Porto Rico, but having become
unfit for the service, her place has been
taken by the new steamer Explorer, and
tie Blake goes under the hammer.
The Blake was the representative or the
coast and geodetic survey at the Chicago
exposition in 1898, having made the trip
from the Atlantic through the canals and
great lakes. The Blake Is vessel OF

YANDAW MAY HAVE BEEN RIGHT
Claim of Demented Man About Fortune
in California.
Special Correspondence of The Star.
NORFOLK Va April "a 1g


NORFOLK, Va, April "a, 1905.
Many Norfolk people remember Thomas
Yandaw. a conspicuous figure for fifty
years in the lower Church and Water
streets sections and many recall that Yam
daw always claimed that he was interested
in big estate in California, the possession
of which, he declared up to the time he left
Norfolk, would in time raise him from one
Of the poorest and ill-thought-of to one of
the wealthiest and most-sought- men
in the state.
No one ever paid any attention to what
Yandaw claimed along this line, and only
laughed at him, declaring that his mag
nation getting the best of him. Time
and time again Yandaw would tell friends
who were kind to him that they would
have no reason to regret anything they had
done for him, as when he died he would
remember them substantially out of the
fortune from California that was soon to be
his.
After spending much of his time in Jail
upon charges of drunkenness and general
disorder Yandaw was, some five years ago,
adjudged a lunatic and sent to the East
ern State Asylum, at Williamsburg, where
he died some two years or more ago, his
body being buried in the asylum cemetery.
YandaWS claim III the matter or the CALI
fornia fortune was forgotten with the bur-
ial of the old man until today, when word
came to Norfolk from attorneys on the Pa
cific coast that man by the name OF
Thomas Yandaw, said to be a resident OF
Norfolk was wanted in California to claim
a large portion of an estate valued at over
81 500. 600.
This information came in a letter received
by Attorney Gilbert II. SWink, who has an
office with Attorney Edward r. Baird. jr.,
in the Withers building. CRANKY street.
Attorney Swink called at the city Jail to
learn what had become of Yandaw and IL
he had any living heirs. The Jail officials
referred him to the asylum authorities at
williamsburg and said that so far as they
knew Yandaw left no heirs His wife died
a year or two before the demise of Yandaw
and they left no children.
Thomas Yandaw always lived In Norfolk
and was in later years almost constantly
in trouble as the result of drink and an UNI
fortunate personal temperament which kept
him always in hot water.
Before and during the civil war he kept
a dance hall where the Norfolk Union Mis-
sion is now located.

The longest electric line in the south Is to

Richmond. Bridge privileges across the
James river cannot be secured at Richmond.

The new line will give a quick outlet to

and which now have practically no outlet.
1t will open UP to northern and western
