EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

In a cemetery through which 1 had
occasion to pass the other day. saw
standing out unique among the con-
ventionally mournful shafts of marble
and granite, a huge grey boulder.
primevel and unhewn.
1 inquired abouts its presence there
and was told this:
The young man whose grave it
marked, was passionately fond of a
Ger ain rugged spot on the coast where
he spent his summers. This boulder
had marked a prominence where he
used to love and sit and watch the
ocean at sunset. and when he died a
few months after his marriage. just
as he was about to fulfill his dream
of bringing his bride to the spot he
had so often described to her. she
chose to bring that boulder. rather
than some conVentionally expensive
shaft of granite or marble to mark
his grave.
Don't you think that was q beauti-
full thought?
1t seemed SO to me.
I know another case where a man
who believed in cremation left instruc-
tions that his ashes should be carried
out to the farm which had been his
boyhood home, and scattered in
springtime over the ploughed fields.
And Just recently 1 heard of a
woman who requested that she be
cremat6d ana ner aSneS carried out
las close to the horizon as you can
get" and given to rest in the heart
of the sea she had loved so intensely
all her life.
AS il happened, those whom she
left behind greatly objected to crema-
ton, and after consulting a lawyer and
making sure that their act would not
invalidate her will, they calmly refused
her last request. She lies today in
the center of a crowded cemetery two
hundred miles from her beloved ocean,
respectfully inferred under the most
conventional of marble shafts upon
which is fulsomely chiseled her
family's respect and grief for the
woman whose last request they saw
fit to deny.
You think this is a decidedly mourn
full talk? You don't like to be re-
minded about things like that? You
make me think of Falstaffs famous
| landIady. Remember how, "a cried
out God. God. God. three or -four
times; now 1. to comfort him, bid him
| "a should not think of God; 1 hoped
there was no need to trouble himself
with any such thought yet
But truly. 1 don't mean to be lugu-
brious I just wanted to tell you OF
some people I admired for being able
to rob death of a little of its horribly
conventional ceremony.

of Rings, and one each alleged in the
respective cases of Messrs. Moreno,
Durham and Jacoby.
Just what has ever possessed the
young man to take such chances with
his liberty was beyond explanation by
those who know him, and who have
regared him with some esteem in the
past. A few days before his arrest
he was at the county Jail with de-
sire to see the alleged pickpocket,
Will Lewis, who is confined there.
Staunton said mat he had lost money
and would know the man who had
taken it from him. He visited the cir
Gus here in December and at that time
was among the pickpocket victims
himself. With a friend he called at
the jail and made close examination
of Lewis. The next time he went
there was in the custody of deputy
himself. Although widely known, he
has asked for no bond, and will ap
pear before the criminal court next
week to have his case or cases dis
posed of by the solicitor.

TWO MORE BAD
CHECKS GIVEN

BROTHER-IN-LAW CLAIMS THAT
HE cASHED PAPER WHICH THE
BANK SAID WAS WORTHLESS
AND HE MADE COMPLAINT.

Two more bad checks turned up
Yesterday as worthless, and the vic
tim was w. B. Rings, brother-ln-law
of Roy Staunton, who is now in the
county Jail charged with giving and
passing worthless checks. Stanton
is the man who had Rings cash the
checks, according to the story which
Rings told the officers last night. He
said that he had cashed one check
amounting to $40 and one amounting
to s25 for Roy Stanton, the latter al
ileging that he had funds to cover the
amount in the bank on which the
checks had been drawn. When pre-
sented at the bank they were repudl-
ated. lust as three others which have
been found out up to the present

| The case was made bad against
Staunton yesterday, when the ahda-
Wits were sworn out against him. The
record shows that Scarritt Moreno
thad cashed a check for Staunton for
s14.50: that James Durham had cash
ed one for SO and that Mitch Jacoby
had been easy enough to cash one
for SIS. The amount which he stung

this the Elk ladies received $3.50, the
Salvation Army s16.75, the Orphans

contributed considerably larger than
would be first supposed. The amounts,

lection, and these distractions hinder

from this and other causes allowed

Roadway and besides the building
which was damaged beyond repair,
the other nearby buildings were dam
aged. The roof of the place occupied
by G. Neri, lie North Palafox, and

by two Greek fruit stands and a Chi

and damaged. Some of the other
buildings were on fire when the water
was first turned on.
| A first and a general alarm was
sounded because the county court
house and valuable property in the

burning building were in much danger
of igniting from myriads of sparks
which were cast up in every d1rec'

sBRlTISH OFFICERS
VIEWED CITY BUILDING

Two officers from the British steam
ship Cluden, which reached this port
yesterday from Port Tampa, were
ashore last night and seemed much
interested in everything they saw,
finally meeting the chief of police and
making themselves known and very
agreeable to Chief Sanders. The city
buildings were especially admired, and
when the chef showed them through
the city Jail they expressed themselves
in complimentary terms at its clean
illness. They were much amused at

tlar periods at the station.

WAS Quilted BY FLAMES,
WHICH BURNED VERY RAPID

Originating in the rear of the frame
building at No. 124 North Palafox
street, at 800 o'clock last night,
fire spread with great rapidity
through the structure, entirely de-
stroying the buildings upper section
and damaging the entire structure to
such an extent that it will have to
be rebuilt if the property is ever used
again for such purpose. The building
was occupied on the upper floor by
a negro lawyer as an Office and by a
negro mutual aid society, and on the
lower floor by a negro doctor and a
drug store, the property of DR.. C. v.
Smith, colored. The drug store and
contents were ruined, and the entire
lot of property on the second floor was
total loss. The building was owned
by o. l.. Bass.

this dance will be the dust dance" in
the foreground by two 'biddies." The
''biddies" were second only to Prof.

enconiums, but it would be impossible
almost to surpass the dancing of Prof
Morris. In the vernacular of the

There is to some few, like the "won
