corded in history concerning the hardships, and
privations endured by those who made this day
memorable should be thankful indeed.

Mother

Her soul hath passed to the other side
Where beautiful golden lights abide
Beyond the CLEAN Of the sunit west
Into the home of eternal rest
Darling Mother. with folded hands
Sleeping beyond the Silver Sands
Beyond the shore the other side
OF the river of Death with its shadow tide
The Saviour's voice hath whispered Come.
To the loved ones waiting to welcome thee
home"
welcome thee nome while stand and pray
For the precious mother passed away.
Lonely. YES lonely the home will be-
But we know thy weary spirit is free
No more sorrow, no more pain,
Can touch thy loving heart again:
Father and sister waiting stand
To welcome thee to the Better Land
But. when look to the golden west
Where thou hath entered the Land of Rest
Wen pray that when life fer us is DER
Thou wilt meet there. on the golden shores
Free from sorrow. free from pain,
To part loved mother never again.

Academy.

For Her Children's Sake" one of Theo
kremer's latest melodramas, interested a
large audience at the Academy last night.
1t is a drama filled with excitement from
start to finish and is acted by a capable
company.
The theme is. the love story of girl
whose mo.her had died when she was but
baby. On the eve of her wedding, DR..
Horace Parker, her husband-to-be, is ac-
cused of a crime of which he is innocent
and sent away by Edna's father. After
searching in vain for years, Edna, believ-
ing Horace dead. marries the proprietor
of country circus who turns out to be
cruel and heartless man. Later Edna
meets Horace. who is accidentally called
in when she is i'll. In the third act Bob
bic, one of Edna's children, kills the vii
lainous father. Edna never RECEIVERS from
her illness and in the last act is
taken back to her home by her father and
dies. with her children, her father and
her lover by her side.
Miss Grace Parette as Edna well por-
trayed the part of an unhappy wife and
was effectively pathetic at times. Little
Crissy Joss and Beatrice Neipling as Ro-
sic and Bobbie. Edna's children. proved
themselves capable little actresses.

BUILT LIKE A cARAvAL.
Oddly Shaped Schooner Beulahland
Sold to New Owners.

The old caraval-shaped schooner Beu-
lahland. frequent visitor to this port
and Alexandria. has been sold by Capt.
w. J. Knowles to r. D. Waltham and
others Of Baltimore who have taken pos
session of the vessel and have her at a
Baltimore shipyard to be rebuilt and put
in good shape for service on Chesapeake
bay. Capt. Knowles has purchased a
controlling interest In another bay craft
and will assume command Of it. The
Beulahland, while often seen in local
waters. never comes here that her old
time build does not attract attention.
The vessel sets low in the water at the
bow, as If trimmed by the head. while
the stern, which. like the bow. is wedge
shaped, rears itself to an unusual height
out Of the water. This gives the caraval
appearance to the craft. The Beulahland
has a fiat bottom and is said to be the
only schooner-rigged vessel on the Chesa-
peake built that way. The schooner
Edna A. POgue was of the same type, but
was built at Cedarville. n. J., and the
Beulahland in 1882 at Bridgeton, in the
same state. The latter was built in ac-
c0rdance with the ideas of a Methodist
clergyman of the eastern shore of Mary
land, who gave her the name she bears.
The Beulahland is 122 feet long, 23 feet
K inches beam and 8 feet depth of hold
amidships.
