IN MEMoRIAM.

In loving remembrance of Miss Helen Dora
Reynolds. who departed this life July q, 1901.
We saw her fade before our eyes,
Like snow before the MONDAY sun,
And tried amid our tears and signs
To meekly say: Thy will be DONE"
But oh twas hard to see her die.
She was so gentle. good and kind;
She left this world without one sigh.
Nor cast one lingering look behind.
She saw her gentle Saviour stand
Beyond dark Jordan's rolling tide.
With smiling face and outstretched hand.
To lead her safely to his side.
Twas hard TO check the stagting tears;
United soon Wen be once more;
The daughter fondly cherished here.
Is waiting for US on that beautiful Golden
Strand
By her parents.

birds. nearly 300 natives OF Washington.
Baltimore, and the surrounding country
last night witnessed what was probably
the largest cooking main conducted in
these parts since the sport hourished
in this vicinity in the ante-belum days.
About two dozen birds. said to repre-
sent the pick Of the fighting cocks Of the
District Maryland. and Virginia, fought
and bled Just beyond the District line on
one Of the steamers that ply between this
city and river excursion resort during
the summer months.
On the return trip early this morning
everybody voted the affair q decided sue
cess from every point Of view. Even
the fellows who had dropped their coin
bv wagering on the wrong birds reasoned
that there was little 20 regret as they
we're jubilant over the feeling that 1t had
at last been proven that chicken fights
could be held near washington without
the interference of the authorities.
Plans Kept Secret.
That the affair was successfully con-
cluded was due more to the utter secrecy
OF the plans OF the promoters than to the
indifference OF those whose business 1t is
TO see that the law IS not violated.
An hour before the boat left commo-
ton was caused by the arrival Of two
policemen. At first It was thought that
tho officers intended to raid the party,
and those who had not already obtained
tickets hesitated. The officers went out
on the wharf, looked everything over, and
then returned TO the gate. and were salts

away without saying anything
After a few secret conferences between
the steamboat people and the promoters
Of the main, the word was passed around
TO get aboard. A wagon, with curtains
drawn. containing half OF the birds. each
wrapped UP in a separate sack, drove
through the gate and unloaded. A little
later a two-horse van appeared with about
twice as many birds as the first Wagon
contained. and soon everything was ir
readiness for sailing.
One large individual, in size and gen
eral makeup not unlike the typica
sheriff, was left behind. as his actions
excited suspicion. When he presenteC
himself he was told that he would hav,
70 be introduced, and as he realized tha
his case was hopeless. he contented him
self by standing around cycling each per
son who passed the ticket takers
The greatest curiosity existed amonl
those who were not wise as 20 wher
the boat would go, and there was con
siderable relief when she backed out int
the river and headed down stream.
