Ex-Mayor Webster Davis delivered an el oquent address, sa Ing, in irt "On these memorial eiays, we realze that In the mWst of life we are In death. Wi are indeed too liable te forget In the hurrv of business in this world that tho time will surclv come -when wc ourselves mi po"! bly be helpless ami suffering, on a lonelv cat In some sick room or hospital In th toll and turmoil of this life, and in the jwir sirith of the fantastic phantom" of our hopes, aspirations ami desires., wo too oft en lose sight of the fact that tho time ma dome when we will le sick. We determine upon our plans, we lay out our work, we arranger our programme for the long vista of jears which, panorama-like, un'old? it self before u. when suddenly, maybe with out warning, our hve-s art" required of un, awl the. bright an?J brilliant future fades away into the black nothingness of death Aral this, after nil, is nil we are certain of in this world. Whv. even now, while I am talking, 'Like mullled drums our hearts are beating funeral marches to the grave' "We grope along Ir the dark and inquire w-liv we bave been brought here, and we vVrly study what is to be the end of our iicac, ami wliether we snail attain a. defi ni. object or miss it altogether. "P.ut though our life is hort and made up of rail!-, and te-irs. of shadows and Kun-him- vet It is long enough to do much tool m thu world if we are so disponed Then let us fill our lives with acts of kind ness", and with deeds of charity and love, the noblest deeds performed are those that tell of sacrifices, and of devotion, and of kindness done for our fellow men. Ever effort put forth to lighten the burden upon "tho bending lw-k of some unfortunate brother, every effort to brighten the path way of some poor girl who must work in rtore or shop to support an Invalid father, every effort to encourage the struggling oung man and assist his as far as we can in climbing over the boulders and crags that obstruct his waj up the mount ain of success; evcrj effort to wipe avvaj the tear that glitters like a devvdrop on the cheek of the widow and orphan, and ever" act that ennobles humanlt and makes the world better, are deeds that will live in the immortality that blooms bevond the grave, and will grow brighter and brighter as tho ears are lost in the eons of time. "Theo are the best testimonials to the rrotnrv of our brothers whose spirits have lil -iwav to that celestial land where the suffmngs of rave hearts are auaged bj a gracious balm, and tired feet rest beside still but living waters. Oh! our loved ones peaceful sleep to-da in their narrow homes in the quiet cemeterj, cov ered each winter with winding sheets of snow, and in the springtime with the soft, sweet mantle of green, and decked by na ture with wild flowers the sweetest em blems of love and affection, which bloom over each in impartial love, while the birds amid the spreading: boughs of the willow and the pine chant their sweetest songs as a requiem to thoir memory." Re. rnther W. .1. Dnlton. After a vocal solo, "Abide With Me," by Mr J. B. Iteton, and a selection by the quartette, "Sleep Thy Last Sleep," P.ev. Father William J. Dalton, pastor of the Church of the Annunciation, delivered the closing address. "Tradition's earliest tidings," he said, "tell us that men from the beginning hav e done as ou are doing to-day. The love man bears for his loved ones is intensified by death Their hearts have ever gone to the new made grave. "The object of jour gathering to-day is a worthy one. Death spares nothing, neither the voung nor old, the rich or poor It mocks man's dearest hopes and blights his fondest ambitions. And et it Is a friend to humanlt, for it make" men think. It tames and curbs them and sets them face to face with life's realities It Is iltting that in the midst of this busv life ou paue to deck with flowers the graves of our departed dead and look forward to the realization of the immortality in which you oil believe " The lodge was then closed In due form, and after the doolog had been sung Rev.

Mrs. Susanna, Green, wife of Robert Green, a car builder, of 2122 Penn street, has had crowded into one year of her ex istence more adventures of a really dramat ic sore than fall to the lot of most peo. pie in a lifetime. They sound almost like a, chapter from Rider Haggard, jet her "tory is vouched for by an old sailing ves. sel's lor book on lile in the office of Swln. ton, Burge & Co., Liverpool, and by the war records of England. Mrs. Green has a little granddaughter, IS months olJ, and when that Infant get old enough to appreciate something more substantial than fair" tales, she will in. slst upon having this story from her grandmother's lips every night before go ing to bed. It ib a story that treats of mutiny and murder on board a ship of which the passenger list was made up es clusivel of women and children; of ship wreck and terror at sea, and disease and death on land. In the spnrg of 1SC3 tho "good" ship Acronton, with a double crew and TOO women ami children on board, left Liver pool for Calcutta. The women and children were families of British soldiers stationed on the Indian frontier and Mrs Green was on board. Her husband had left with ths Itoval Horse artiller. I' troop, Colonel though that trouble had been brewing for ten dajs was evident from the fact that the men would gather In mjsterious knots on the fo'castle and talk in whispers. It was a trivial Incident that brought things to a crisis. The cook, I believe, put coal oil in the range to burn out the pipes in order to get a better draft. Of course we didn't know about that until afterwards. It occurred early In the morning. There was a gale blowing at the time and I looked for the ship to founder at any mo ment. Suddenly a crowd of us women who huddled up together on a lower deck saw a shower of sparks sucked down Piimtiliig n Hiintutlnn.

' We hadn't been out but a few days when Captain Horner began to abuse the crew. He was a little, short man, I re member, ugl and egotistical. Ho wouldn't allow his mn any grog, and I think that was the main cause of trouble between them, and, judging from his condition and temper, he must have drank it all him self He was intoxicated most of the tlmx "Well, things went on this way for six weeks We must hav e been somewhere near the equator, I think, when the crash came. through the hatchway. We thought the ship was on fire, of course, and there was a panic. "That made the captain furious. I never saw a man act so like a demon In m life. He threatened to put the women in irons if they didn't keep quiet. Then he turned his wrath upon the crew. Matters Approach a Crisis. "Well, the result of It was that the next day after the storm had abated somewhat the captain, first mate and ship doctor were taken violently ill at the same time Someone wanted to pump out the cap tain's stomach, but he wouldn't have it. " 'There's not a devil In hell that would dare to poison me'" aid he "So he died. And the next day the first mate died, but the doctor probably because h had treated himself in time, lived. "The crew sewed up the body of the first mate in a gunnj sack tied .1 weight to It and dumped It overboard Then the made a coffin for the captain. It wasn't through an respect for his memory the did this, jou understand, but was In ac cordance with maritimp ethics. The cof fin was too big to go through the porthole. o they carried it up on deck and. while it laj. balanced across the gunwale, the crew d?nced and sang and cheered and Hrank enough of the grog to make nn fo- their long abstinence. , "You can Imacine that this frightened the women, who saw that they were at 1 tho mercy of a "emi-barbarous crowd of (irv-nken men, hundreds of miles from land, or a ship without a navigator. A FrlKbtful Scene. "Then someone tilted the coffin. It fell, struck against the side of the ship and srlit open The body of the captain fell out into the sea. "It then stood between the second mate and boatswain as to who should take charge of the ship, but neither of them knew much about navigation. It seems, ns wo drew up a few weeks Liter at Pernam buoo, Brazil, instead of at St Luis do Mar onhao, where we had intended to land. In the meantime scarlet fever had set in on board, and ire were held in quarantine for several das When we were finally per mitted to land, we plead, with the authori ties ut the hospital to send u back to En gland. The terrible experiences of the past few weeks had so thorough! unnerved every one thatnone of lis cared to under take the voyage to India All we wanted was to see old England again But I for got to state Hot when our clothinr and, ef fects were taken) from the v essel anvi piled up m shore to be fumigat'-d, they were stolen to the ultimate garment by the na tives. That left us with only such, clothing as we had on our bodies. Slesre of Yellow Fever. '"Then came a. siego of the ellow fever. I, with many others, was taken with the disease, and for a. time they thought I would die. Over 100 of tho passengers did die, Itr fact. But I, probably on account of my strong constitution ami previous health, finally threw oft the malady. I re member my greatest anxiety during my ill ness was caused by tho fact that I had n Targe sum. of money on my person. It was sew eel intw a belt that I wore around my wuist. I finally had Mrs. Stanford, the sergeant major's wife, who was about the only fnend I hadi made on. board tho ves sel, come anvl take It off. She. too, was the only woman they would allow to call up on me, as almost all of the others had turned bad. It Is terrible the enect of thoso hot climates upon Northern women anel it was even "worse when we ilnally rea'Cheil Calcutta. "After a long time we got a captain. We utunt like him, and the authorities had to cancel his contract and give us another Then came a long ride In catboats, fifteen miles through the roughest sea I ever saw, to where the Acronton was anchored. She couldn't get nearer to the land than that. But after we fimlly got settled In the ship and became acquainted with the new cap tain we liked him verv- well. He was ter ribly deaf; that was the only drawback. "When we were within about three days of Cupe Town there came a gale which broke one of the masts nnd nearly swamped us. We lost our bowsprit en tirely and had to put in at the Cape for repairs. Miip on Plre nt Sea. "The night we left the Cape of Good Hcpe we saw a ship afire There was n storm and we couldn't get near her with tho boats. She burned up before our very ees, and, though we looked for survivors the next day, found not even a piece of driftwood. "We finally reached the Biy of Rengal. and as we approached a harbor I think It was Calcutta a pilot shouted an order to the captain through a speiklng trumpet. The captain, being deaf, misunderstood It. with tho result that he ran the vessel agrounel We were then o far out at sea that we couldn't see land, though sjjie of us Imagined we could see tree In the dls tan"e. We staved there three das, and finally i tig came out ami pulled us loose "When we finally landed at Chinsurd ground cholera et In and the people died like sheep Some of them were burled in the Ganges and some of the women were found dead sitting in the cars when their husbands met them at Campoor "I st-ived thi-re thre morths. when I re turned to England with Mr. Green."

One of the Interesting political rumors In connection with future appointments urder Governor-elect Stephens is that he has declared he intends to make his ad m. nistratlon strictly a young man's p-1-m.nistratlon and will select for appoint ment only joung men, his friends, who are acceptable to the powers that control the local Democracy. This will be read with interest by some of the old reliable voters whose Democracy ha3 never been questioned, but who are now to be rele gated to the rear, so that young men may share tho honors and responsibilities of public ltfc TMs will not simplify matters locally, as seme of the most ambitious plehunters ate rot to be classed with the voung men and some of tho aspirants are not at all accept able to the powers that now control tho party machinery locally. Some of tho people have insisted that Lonnie would continue to build on the Stone platform and keep In office such friends of Governor Stone as had stood by the administration. To such the declaration that none but the oung friends of Mr. Stephens need apply will come with disappointment. It Is also stated in that connection that the two men selected for police commis sioners are William C. Scarritt and Will iam M. Draffen, both oung men Mr. Scarritt Is well known and Mr. Dnften has taken an active interest In politics slrce he came here three jears ago aj assistant district attorne. His name has been frequently mentioned as an applicant for coal oil inspector, an office with more pull and much more revenue and much less contention than police commissioner, and It is doubtful if he would accept tho latter place at all.
