tireless worker for the cause was
broad minded and considerate max
ing friends wherever she went.
She was the author of several
poems the following being especially
appropriate, we give it place here
COVER Me OVER WITH ROSES.
OH would not go when the wintry blast
Is scattering the frost over yale and lea,
When the flowers are hid meath a mantle
white,
And the trees stretch their naked arms to
me.
But l long to stay till the breath of spring
Shall awaken the flowers from their " intry
sleep.
When the singing birds through sunny hours
Mid the shady boughs carnival keep.
If must go, would lay me down
Meath the waving grass and the flowers
fair,
Where the warbling songsters awake the
nom
With hymn Of praise on the summer air.
Then cover me over with early bloom
From the wild sweet brier and the gardens
best
Ol cover me over with roses fair,
When L m laid away to my final rest.
And thus let me sleep till the morning dawn
When the waxing nations shall hear the call
And earth shall smile as in Eden's bloom
Ere the stain of sin OF rshadowed all.

Features of Annual Meeting at Narra-
 gansett Pier.

Narragansett Pier R. l., Aug. 24.-An address entitled ''The American Law yer" delivered by Alfred Hemenway of Boston, in which the speaker touched on many topics of interest to the legal profession, was the feature of the sec ond days session of the American Bar association which was held at the New Mathewson hotel here to-day. Another faeture was the adoption of the recom- mendation of the committee on cem- mercial law, that the association op- pose the repeating by congress of the present bankruptcy law. A minority report by Walter H. Logan of New York urged the adoption of a resolu- tion, which proposed two specific rem .edies for unlawful combinations which may threaten commerce, one being the extension of the equity Jurisdiction of the Sherman antitrust law, the other taxation of the corporations at an in- creasing grade, according to additional capital, instead of decreasing grade as at present.
 A steamer trip and shore dinner were provided by the members of the Rhode Island association in the afternoon.

SITUATION IN NEW ORLEANS
FEAR NO LONGER FEET OF DAN-
 GERoUS EPIDEMIC

Yellow Fever Outbreak Coming Steadily
 Under ControI-PIans to Protect City
 from Further Infection from Places
 outside-Yesterday's Report Encour-
 aging-onIy Forty-four New Cases
 and Seven Deaths.
 New Orleans, Aug. 24.--With yellow fever in New Orleans coming steadily under control, and apprehension no longer felt of a dangerous epidemic, federal surgeons are anxious to put re- strictions against free intercourse be- tween New Orleans and infected re- gions in Louisina, to prevent a reincur- sion of the disease. The policy of such a move was fully discussed to-day in the conference of fever fighters with Governor Blanchard, and the results are to- be made known tomorrow. Many Italians and other foreigners fled from New Orleans to surrounding par. ishes when yellow fever first grew vio- lent. They established nests of infec- ton at various points. and now many of them are drifting back to New Or leans, bringing back the infection.
 To-day's report of yellow fever in New Orleans is encouraging. The death list was somewhat larger than the day before, but it was far from the maxi mum set carrier in the month. Only a small number of new fever centers were found, and the number of new cases fell to A, the smallest number reported for any one day since August. ', when the federal officers took charge.
 The region of original infection is again undergoing a thorough course of disinfection. This will be the third treatment given. A total of thirty-six squares containing 1,200 houses is enl- braced in the region.
 Surgeon von Ezdorf reported to Dr.. White to-day. He has been identified with the sanitary work on the isthmus, where yellow fever has prevailed for some time, and because of his know1- edge of the disease there was ordered to New Orleans by the department.
 Professor Metz, who has been given charge of the work of inspecting cis- terms, gutters and pools, put 155 gangs of inspectors on duty today. Each gang consists of three men. They are to cover every habitabIe part of the city. K
 Another case of fever at Terre Aux Bouefs, the parish seat of St. Bernard, was reported to-day, bringing the total to eleven there. The disease is of a mild type. The fever on the Corrine plantation in the same parish is of a more malignant type. s S
 Report on yellow fever situation: New cases, A: total to date, 1,600; deaths, '; total, 226; new foci, 10; total, 300; remaining under treatment, 2S7.

WARSHIP SINKS SCHOONER
KEARSARGE COLLIDES WITH SMALL VESSEL OFF NEWPORT.

BattIeship Rescues Crew, Pumps Out
 sunken Vessel and TOws Her to Port
 About Fifty Barrels of oil Lost
 Oyerboard-Heavy Fog Prevailing ut
 the Time of the Collision.
 Newport, R. l., Aug. 24.-After col- liding with and damaging the little ker- osene oil schooner N. s. Gallup, of New York, the battleship Kearsarge arrived in the harbor tonight with the disa- bled craft and her crew of two. The Warship was not injured and the loss to the owner of the schooner, the Ma tfonaI Oil company, of New York, does not exceed $500.
 The battleship squadron went out for a course of manoeuvres this forenoon between Point Judith and Newport, but was obliged to head for this port at noon because of a dense fog. At point five miles southeast of Point Ju- dith the Gallup, which was bound from New York for Portsmouth, R. L, with cargo of empty oil barrels below and filled casks on deck, crossed the bow of the battleship. The latter, steaming at the rate of five knots, struck the schooner on the starboard side below the waterline. and the water which poured in through a hole a foot square soon filled the Gallup and caused her to capsize. The only persons on board were Captain John Andrews and his son William. They were rescued by the crew of the Kearsarge. Captain Raymond P. Rodgers, commanding off, ficer of the battleship, had hawsers run out and by the aid of divers they were placed beneath the schooner and she was righted. The little vessel was hauled up alongside the bow of the Kearsarge and after divers had tenn porarily repaired the damage and the craft had been pumped out, the war ship brought her to Newport. About fifty barrels of oil were lost overheard.

More Serious Turn to New York Rfver-
 side Drive Mystery.

New York. Aug. 24.-The shooting of a handsome Syracuse woman on River side Drive recently developed serious features to-day when the woman who calls herself Mary Hall, but who has been identified as Mrs. Dorothy W. Larsen, was found to have tetanus. Mo- tification was given to the coroner's of- flee to take her ante-mortem statement. The wound itself in the lest breast was not serious, but the bullet has never been extracted since it lodged there during mysterious night meeting with a man on Riverside Drive. This man the girl has steadfastly called her friend and refused to give his name. From a fashionable hotel she drove in a cab to Riverside Drive neac 116th sttreet. Her driver saw her walking arm in arm with a man who met her there. Shortly afterwards a shot was heard and the girl was found along wounded but exhibiting the cool nerve that has ever since made her case one of mystery.

Not Hopeless, However,-Forces Still
 Working for Peace.
 Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. a. The prospects of peace seem desperate, but they are not hopeless despite the pre- vailing pesslmisna. There is still al chance and the forces working for peace are continuing their labors. The president failed twice, but he is fighting on. The result of Ambassador Meyers audience at Peterhof yesterday was unsatisfactory, but at least it was not a rebuff. It left the door open and within a few hours after the receipt at Oyster Bay of Mir. Meyers account of his audience the president had sent a new appeal through M. Witte, who re- ceived 1t from Mir. Peirce about 3 o'clock this morning. The emperor had already in effect declined the proposed compromise offered by Japan. He had refused it because under a disguise so thin that even child would not be de- ceived Japan offered to withdraw the

SHIP STRUCK BY LIGHTNING,
New York Bay Lit Up by Burning Oil
 Ship.


 New York, Aug. 24.-Struck by light ming during a terrific storm which swept over Staten Island and lower part of upper bay at midnight the ship Mulberry Hill, laden with case oil and naphtha, lying in the stream midway between Tompkinsyille and Suspicion is burning, lighting up the bay from the Battery to Sandy Hook.
 The crew of twenty-four men left the ship just aster the fire started and landed at Stapleton. Word was sent to Manhattan for fire boat and the boat from the Battery and several tugs went as close to the burning ship as possi- ble and began to floor her with water. She will be flooded so as to save as much as possible of the oil below the water.
 The lightning hit the main mast and passed down the steel pole into the hold where there was an explosion. Smoke began to show at once and rockets and lights were burned. Finding their alarms were unheeded the men lowered the boats and made for the shore No person remain on board: Five minutes after the alarm was given ashore one of the matches, about amidsl1ips, blew up with great display of fire. The fam es poured through the hatch and sprang into the shrouds and began to eat away the sails and eordage. After these burned the fire settled down into the hold from which explosion after ex- plosion yomited flames.

LIGHTNING STARTS HALF
 MILLION DOLLAR FIRE
GREAT BROOKLYN WAREHOUSE FILLED WITH COTTON IS
 DESTROYED.

FIames Burst Out Just Before Midnight
 and During a Terrific Storm-Large
 Number of Transatlantic Freight
 Steamers Compelled to Cut Loose and
 Drift in the Stream Until Taken in
 Tow by Tugs-Scarcity of Water
 Handicaps Bremen.
 New York, Aug. 25.-A loss of more than half million dollars was caused early this morning in Stores 39, 40 and fl of the extensive plant of the Bush Terminal Warehouse company at the foot of Forty-fourth street, Brooklyn. Started by lightning during 8 terrific storm just before midnight, the fire was still burning at an early hour this morning. The firemen expect to con- fine the flames on the one big building in the Forty-fourth street block.
 The Bush stores extend from Forty fourth to Fifty-eighth street.
 Filled with thousands of bales of cot ton consigned to brokers in Manhattan, the warehouse burned fiercely and stub bornly. The fire department is handi- capped by lack of water in that sec- ton of Brooklyn, only one main being available for the many streams the fire men are trying to play upon the flames. The fireboats from the bay side of the burning structure were doing the most effective work. When lightning struck the stores the shock was felt for a distance of several blocks. Almost inn mediately flames leaped from the low lying structures. The seriousness of the situation was apparent at once, and four alarms were turned in.
 A large number of transatlantic freight steamers lying at the Bush company's docks were in peril, but the captains immediately cut loose and t1oated out into the stream, being sub sequently picked up by tugs or got un- der way with their own steam.
 The Bush stores are among the most modern warehouses in the world. Each building covers a block and every structure is divided into compartments known as stores. The walls of the warehouse buildings are from eighteen to tWenty-four inches in thickness, and to prevent spread of fire the main structures are separated by lanes eighty feet in width.
 Assistant Fire Chief Binns, from Manhattan, reached the fire shortly after the fourth alarm had been sound- ed and took charge of the f1ghtin gbri- gade.s Many engines summoned to the scene were unable to render service be- cause of the scarcity of water.

FRANCE THREATENS
 TO INVADE MOROCCO
SULTAN MUST YIELD TO DE- HANDS FOR RELEASE OF
 FRENCH CITIZEN

Special Session of the Council of Min
 listers Decides Upon Military Dem
 Onstratlon if They Are Not satisaed--
 Germany Has Approved French De-
 mands Up to the Present-aIorocco
 Holding or in Hope of Securing ths
 Aid of the Kaiser.
 Paris. Aug. 24.-As the result of a special meeting of the council of minis ters to-day it was announced that a military demonstration will be made against Morocco unless the sultan promptly yields to the French demands for the release of the French Algerian citizen, merchant named Bouzaans who was unjustifably arrested at Gharb, a Moroccan town on the Alger- ian frontier.
 Instructions were sent to the French minister at Fez, St. Rene TailIandier. to make final and imperative demand on the sultan The minister was in- 4OEilSu lll1I II Itl1S uGAldllu SuOu1Q D6 refused the entire personnel of the le- gation was to depart from Morocco and a military movement would simultan- eously begin along the Algerian from tier.
 It is, the intention of the military au- thorities to occupy a Moroccan border town, probably oudjda, owing to it's strategic command of the route to the Moroccan capital. However, the off, cials are confident that the sultan will yield before the threat of using military force.
 The demonstration as planned is somewhat similar to that which an American squadron made at Tangier to compel the release of Ion Perdica- ris, who was captured by the bandit Raisuli. The French antiquities deem- ed a naval demonstration inexpedient, owing to the possible international complications resulting from other countries sending Warships to observe the demonstration while, military movement against Morocco would be largely a police measure not involving the general political question of French authority in Morocco. The persistent refusal of the sultan to yield, however, might compel the French to advance further than a border town -~e-ss
 Germany has thus far approved tho French demands for redress, but fears are expressed in some quarters that the sultan will refused to yield in the hope of securing the aid of Germany. Prac- tically all the leading powers have ap- proved the determination of the French government to adopt a firm course. The proposed course cannot be put into ex- ecution before another week. owing to the time necessary to communicate the final demands to the sultan.
