while the waves rose high from her armored
sides. Then she commenced to list and
sink.
The officers believe that the debut of the
submarine boat as an effective agent in ma
val warfare or perhaps a large mine,
caused the disaster to the kniaZ SOuyaroH.
The damage, however. was so extensive
that the flagship soon went down, leaving
the deck officers and many of the crew
struggling in the waves.
Under a grueling attack by the Japanese
warships, aided by torpedo boats, mines
and submarines. the Borodino Osliabia and
Ural were placed out of action and fol-
lowed the flagship to the bottom.
The fog which had raised and lowered
internationally during the morning began
to settle down again and the distance OF
the AlmaZ, which had now succeeded in
disengaging herself in the combat from
the struggling ships. made it difficult for
her to see clearly. but the officers are posi-
tive that they saw two Japanese battle
ships disappear beneath the sea before theil
eyes, and that two japanese cruisers APP
peared on the point of sinking.

enough to think their names are sufficient.
There are many fine pieces of statuary,
however. as well as examples of mortuaIy
architecture. No expense has been spared
In landscape gardening. Trees turf. shrubs
and flowers contribute to the beauty of the
place but it is not nearly so beautiful as
Greenwood cemetery in Brooklyn, and can
not compare with Rock Creek or Oak Hill
cemeteries, Washington. or Mount Auburn
at Boston. The display of art and archi-
lecture. the costly carvings and the neon
gruous ostentation remind one more of the
Campo Santo of Genoa. which the guide
books will tell you is the finest cemetery in
the world; but a man of plain tastes would
never want TO be buried in the midst of
such magnificence and extravaganza.

he died at Suffield. Conn, April 3, 1900.
Adrian ISelin, James A. Garland, Charles

field and other rich stock brokers have
splendid tombs while D. r. Fayerweather,
the Quaker who gave so much money to
colleges, has a very humble, unostentatious
resting place.

Mex. Twombley. who married Miss Van

tors as the largest real estate owners in
America. have a splendid mausoleum on
the top of a hill where it can be seen for
a long distance. George Ehret, the brewer,
lies in what is perhaps the most expensive
tomb in the cemetery. 1t cost even more
than Mr. Gouds or Mr.. Huntington's, and
is much more preteutious, but not solid
and dignified. 1t is of Egyptian design,
and has copies of Landseer's lions in gran

tomb is one of the most expensive and one

doors, the guide told us, cost $4,000 each.

The Vanderbilts have large circular lot
at the top of a grassy knoll. fnclosed with
a coping of granite. It is one of the most
expensive and favorable sites in the Gene
terry, but thus far is unoccupled. Ine mem
bers of the Vanderbilt family have always
been buried in the old graveyard down on
Staten Island, with simple headstones ris-
ing around that of the old commodore, the
founder of their fortunes; but they nave
purchased this place evidently as d pfecdu-
ton.
One of the most pretentious of the maui
soleums, with tall columns, long nights or
steps and a lofty dome, is dedicated to the
memory of William F. Foster of Glovers-
vile, n. Y. The guide told US that he was
1.-The inventor of kid gloves" but he was
only the patentee of kid-glove fastener, 1
was afterward told, from which he made
an enormous amount of money.
A beautiful granite canopy, supported by
Doric monoliths and lined with mosaics,
both artistic and costly, covers two mas
sive sarcophagi, one of them being vacant.
The other is occupied by the wife of John
N Luning and over the inscription fast
ened to the stone Is bronze spider, the
Significance of which l was not able to
ascertain. The guide said that the pet
name of the dead woman was Spinner,
which is the German for spider he ex-
planned.
Spent His Fortune on His Tomb.
OF course, there are odd things in this
cemetery. as everywhere else, and amusing
incongruities. One of them Is the tomb Of
Henry Weisen-a tremendous structure of
granite. large as an ordinary church,
with marble statuary at every corner.
There are dozen or more figures, while
on the top Of the dome is an image of
Faith leaning upon a gigantic cross,
which, the guide said, alone cost SIS, 900.
The story he told that Henry Weisen
had this tomb built while he was yet alive,
and used to come out every day or two
to see how the work was getting on. When
