her personal attraction special and lnstlrc-
tive gift Of musical expression of high order,
will find opportunity and welcome in that "be-
yond," even more appreciative, if not more
affectionate, than we have given her.
Her true and sympathetic Interpretation of
music was to some of US at least veritable
spiritual gift and was an added charm and joy
in our acquaintanceshp with her. From the
circle of my personal friends shall miss her
with great grief and sense of loss, tempered
gladly, however, by the thought that somewhere
she is still alive, very much interested in the
new life, and very happy. One thinks, wrong
ly. of sweet and beautiful life come to pre-
mature end, but it is not so, the very loving
Heavenly Father took her, that is ALL and
there we leave our grief and questioning, glad
with her in her new and larger vision. 1t
must be stupendously wonderful the flash of
revelation when death opens the gates of the
Beyond, and she is only one more of many
loved ones to whom it has come, and who are
waiting for us there.
To her sorrowing family and many friends
l speak this word of very genuine and tender
affection. Yours very truly,

IN MEMORIAM.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. Will you

,our Searsport column an unavoidably tardy
but very affectionate tribute to my much ioVeo

MARINE MISCELLANY.

Searsport Nov 8. The United States gov
eminent has acquired land here for the pur-
pose of erecting range lights to aid navigators
in entering Searsport harbor. In the winter
the ice carries the buoys out of che harbor at
Searsport and prevents the government from
maintaining proper marks to make navigation
safe, and it has been decided to erect these
range lights to keep the place of the buoys.
The size, method of construction, ETC., has not
been made public by the lighthouse depart
ment, and it is not known just when the work
will be begun

From the Philadelphia Press.
 When the news of the wreck of tho
 Empress of Ireland In the St. Lawrence
 first shocked the civilized world indig- nant demands were made from all quar- ters mat the man responsible for it all
 be discovered and punished The com
 mission which later investigated the disaster did fix the responsibilitv. hut
 neither it nor any other authority in canada or Great Britain has the power To punish the man who is= said to be to hlame. He is a third officer of the collier Storstadt. subject of Norway whose certificate he holds. And unless Norway chooses to cancel that certifi-
 cate he will continue to sail the seas free and unpunished
 But by an ironic turn of circum-
 stances it is Captain Kendall of the Empress of Ireland who. though the commission exonerated him from all
 blame, will be made to suffer the con
 sequences of the affair. There is an
 unwritten law of the sea that a. cap
 tain who loses his ship shall never be entrusted with another command. though a ship-owner were willing to trust Captain Kendall with another ship
 there would be many seamen and even
 more passengers who would decline to
 sail under him. Whether this be pru
 dence or merely superstition it is the
 inexorable code of the sea, and, though officially held blameless. Captain Ken dall becomes the latest and the most conspicuous of it's victims
 The sacrifice of this brave captain
 makes the immunity of the Norwegian officer seem all the more unjust. It Is an anomalous condition that while mar ners are required to obey interna- tional rules they are amenable only to the laws of their own nation-a condi- tion of affairs that cannot be changed too soon.

Value of Alabama's Crops

It may be too soon to form an esti- mate of the cash value of Alabama crops this year, but it is reasonable to assume that the farmers in the total will receive more money than in any previous year.
 This states cotton production will it is believed, be upwards of 1,500,0 bales. Some authorities estimate il at 1,600,000 It is hard to estimate the corn crop, because considerable damage was done by the June drouth but the yield will be as large probably as that of last year, and possibly con- siderably larger.
 The total value of Alabama's crops in 1913 was estimated at about S200,- 000,000. It will not be surprising if the total reaches $250, 0,000,O0O this year.
