In Honor of the Twenty-Five Comrades
 Who Died During the Year 1908-The
 Hall Crowded to the DOOrs-The
 NecrOlogy Roll.
 A very impressive memorial service to twenty-five comrades who departed this life during the year 1906 was held by Admiral F'oote post in Music hall yesterday afternoon. The hall was crowded to the doors with comrades and their friends who came to do honor to the departed, Letters of greeting to the number of fifty came from con- rades in various parts of the country. One was from Thomas Christie, who is a missionary in Turkey, and another from Comrade Alexander Henderson, who is in F'rederckstein, St. Croix, Danish West Indies.
 The decorations were of flags and made very pretty room. At the prop CT time the curtains of flags were drawn revealing on the platform a monument to the departed suitably in- scribed and decorated.
 The services opened with the singing of "Drayer to our country by the au- dience This was followed by the roll call of the post by Comrade Adjutant Fred c. Hastings, and by the inVaca- tion by the post chaplain, Weston Fer ris. Then came the unveiling and the decorating of the memorial monument by Miss Mary Whitfield. A memorial hymn written by Mrs Elizabeth Platt a sister of Mrs. Jepson, wife of Prof Benjamin Jepson, for this part of the servise was sung during this part of the program. The words of this song follow. The air is that of Pelyl's hymn: Comrades, in the year now gone, We have oft been called to mourn. Now our ranks are thinning fast. Soon we'll all be of the past. Comrades, closer let us stand. Heart to heart and hand to hand, JAS we stood in days of yore, Midst the gun and cannon's roar. 'Taps" are sounding through the land, Heads are bowed on every hand. When the roll is called above May we meet where all is love.
