Be sure to get only Hood" because of the United States in the war with Spain, the government has ordered the equipment of a number of repair ships for the navy, closely patterned after the Vulcan. These will be fireproof and will be used in training firemen. The Voessiche Zeitung prints a hitherto unpublished letter from the late Prince Bismarck to Field Marshal von Mauteuflel, in which Bismarck was far from complimentary to the Prussian conservatives: This is one of a number of unpublished letters bought since the death of the field marshal by a syndicate of Liberal politicians. They are said to contain many highly sensational letters, including some from the old Emperor to his son, then Crown Prince, in which there are passages which refer in surprising terms to the present Emperor. The Berlin courts will be busy September 25 with the case of Max Schiemangk, a major of United States Volunteers during the Spanish war, who is charged with various frauds by which he obtained sums of money.

A line of electric omnibuses was started in Berlin this week. The oldest part of the Royal Castle has just Arrangements Most Completed for Com ing Event in Manhattan. But a few weeks remain for the preparation of exhibits for the Southern Exposition, which is to be held in the Grand Central Palace in Manhattan from October 31 to November 25. The arrangements have assumed much larger proportions than was anticipated, and success of the first show of Southern industries and products in the money center of the world is assured. Colonel J.

J. Garnett, the director of the exposition, is now on a tour of the principal cities in tile South, closing arrangements for numerous exhibits. Governor Johnson of Alabama, following the action of Governor Bradley of Kentucky, has appointed a committee of representative citizens which is to organize at once and procure a state exhibit. Most of the other states will take similar action. In order to secure space in the more desirable locations, It Is necessary that all intending exhibitors should make selections promptly.

Local firms will do well to take the matter up with little delay. The exposition will be rendered particularly Interesting, in view of the fact that numerous prominent speakers from various Southern states have accepted the invitation, and will deliver addresses at the exposition on the subject' of tho South's progress, and the advantages to the investment of northern capital. SOLDIERS TO USE BELTS Suspenders "Will No Longer Figure as a Part of Their Outfit. Washington, September 9 The Army suspender is a thing of the past, for it will not hereafter figure as a part of the outfit of the American soldier. This decision has been reached by the War Department officials, who.

In the future, will supply our troopers with a fine leather belt with which to support their trousers. This change was made necessary largely on account of the conditions under which our soldiers found themselves in the new possessions. In the Philippines, as well as In Cuba, the men discarded their coats entirely, except in rainy weather and In the cold season. The favorite costume is a blue flannel shirt and the regulation Army trousers. With this outfit the suspenders became objectionable and were gradually discarded, as they interfered with the free use of the arms, and, beside, were unsightly.

The men dressed in this manner while drilling, as well as when campaigning. As the suspenders were thrown away all sorts of expedients were resorted to by the men to keep their trousers in place. The War Department then decided to do away with the suspender entirely and Issue belts in their place. An order was placed this week for the delivery of 15,000 pair of leather belts, lV4 inches wide and made of the best material. All metal parts are to be made of brass and nickel plated, as steel rusts quickly in the moist climate of the Philippines.

An advertisement has been issued requesting bids for a supply of 100,000 additional belts, which are to be issued to the troops in this country as well as in Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines. COMPANY A'S ENTERTAINMENT. Veterans and Active Members Preparing for a Big Affair. In the latter part of October or the early part of November. Company Twenty third Regiment, will give an entertainment that will far surpass any similar function that has been held in the armory for a number of years.

This company is well known for its hospitality in affairs of this kind, but for many years it has not attempted anything so pretentious as that which will be given this fall. The veterans of the company will assist the active members in the work of carrying out their plans. It is probable that there will be an exhibition drill, both in fatigue and dress uniform, followed by a reception and somo other torm of entertainment. It is planned to decorate not only the company room, but the drill hall of the armory, and to throw practically the entire building open to guests. A very large number of invitations will be sent out through the veterans and active members, probably 3,000 or 4,000 in all.

The company gave one or two entertainments during the last winter season, which were very successful, but were on a far smaller scale. Both officers and enlisted men are now hard at work preparing for this year's event. PARIS FASHIONS UP TO DATE. From the Eagle Paris Bureau 53 Rue Cambon, through the courtesy of Abraham Straus.

They have issued an appeal in the form of a printed circular and sent copies broadcast throughout the land. The appeal suggests the forming of "auxiliary organizations tor the purpose of soliciting subscriptions to aid in the erection of this monument. It is the wish of the committee that the subscriptions shall be many in number, so as to fairly represent the numerous friends and admirers of Colonel Ingersoll. No contribution will be too small. All contributions from individuals and organizations should be sent to the Ingersoll Monument Association, Peoria, 111." BROOKLYNITES IN PARIS.

Berlin, September 9 The situation in in ternal politics has bien somewhat intensified this week. The dlsnissal of several Cabinet members of a number of higher Prussian officials is merely a symptom of this. The Emperor, as King of Prussia, before starting for the maneuvers, hid long conversations with Prince von Hihenlohe, the Imperial Chancellor and predcent of the Prussian Council of Ministers and Dr. Miquel, vice president of the Couidl and Minister of Finance, in which the difficulties' of the situation were thoroughly ifecussed. The Emperor hopes to see the canal bill passed when it is rectroduced, with modifications, at the next session, notwithstanding the opposition of the Agrarians.

In this he will probably be disappointed, despite the methods employed in lisciulining the Agrarians and the governnsnt officials serving as delegates in the The Emperor is resolved to go to the laigth of forcing the resignation of every offltiil, be he high or low, who actively sympathizes with the powerful Agrarian society, the Bund der Landwirthe. This will strike man. At a secret meeting if the Agrarian leaders this week it was resoved to try to checkmate the Emperor by placing off the canal bill against the anti striki measure, and thus render impossible the inmediate dissolution of the Diet, for it is aigued that the Emperor cannot rely on the Agrarians and Conservatives to father his pet anti strike bill and at tho same time dissolve the Diet, because the same members do not ianction another of hla pet measures. Tho Agrarian leaders will do their utmost to impress this upol the Emperor's mind. They also count upoi the probability of the dissolution of the Rdthstag on the rejection of the anti strike of which there is hardly a doubt, as the Center and the Left are resolved to bur the measure ignomin iously.

Beside, the Agrarian believe that they have a chance of defeating the renewal of the com mercial treaties, espechlly the one with Russia, or of considerably modifying them, so as to render them unaceetable to the other governments. They will insist upon a higher tariff on Russian which Russia will not stand. They also strongly hope that the commercial treaty with the United States will not bo ready for presentation to the Reichstag at its next session, aid that the failure of the other treaties will involve that with the United States. 1 In the meantime it is reported that the Emperor is furious wit'a the Agrarians, and it is learned that his majesty has pronounced in lavor of a Reinlicae Scheidung between the Agrarians aud tit government, saying that such a party lal no reason to be in Prussia, where every toveruineut for generations has been soliciuus lor the country's agricultural interests, and that this class of politics has gone atolt far enough. He is particularly wroth the way in which the American press has t.aldled him and tho cab inet.

The leading Agrarisn journals and many Conservative organs lave been very outspoken. Tne Deutsebi Agrar Correspondent even advised putting tie members of the cabinet submitt'ng to Do wishes of the Emperor under parliamentary, public and social ban until his mujest: should be unable to Hud mere creatures do his will, and will then te obliged to tike men for ministers. The official organ oft he Conservatives condemns the disciplini? of officials. 'Ihe Deutsche Zeittag, under the caption, "Continued in Our lext," says: "The executions under the prsent cabinet have come in sections like a seriil novel." 'ihe Liberal papers comment variously. Hurr Eugene Richter.

the Radical leader, condemns the governnent and announces that his party, the Freisimige Yolkspartei, will introduce some senatioual bilis in the Reichstag and the Dt t. An amusing feature of the press campaign against the Emperor and the government is that the Conservative, who, while enjoying the favor of the govenment, were opposed to the constitution and parliamentarism, have now become great frieds of both. The attitude of therural population shows no approval of tho gi ernment's disciplinary measures. One dismssed official, Herr von Brockbausen. was huored by a torchlight procession in the Drnaburg district.

In which the i. hole local popflation participated. A number of officials ini ud to show their sympathy with the Agrarkus by resigning. These include President vol Pottkamer of Pomer ania and President vn Tieschowa of Koen igsburg. The situation, as i whole, is that of a drawn battle bef.vea his majesty and the Agrarians, the Iattd meaning to demonstrate the paramouncy of Prussia even when tho Emperor as Kingopposes them.

All well informed persons, Irespectlve of party, expect that the will be defeated in the end, as the whoe government in Prussia means the govenment of and by the Conservatives. The Emperor's sp.ech at Strasburg has been variously comni'ntcd upon. The Centrist. Cologne VolksZcltung, says the Catholics are thankful lit majesty tries to avoid every conflict. The Zeitung considers the speech to be evidently a reply to those made by a Bavarian priest in Keisse, who said the throheand nltar could only be maintained by Cattollcism.

The Emperor ri verses the proposilon. The Boersn Courier says it remains to.bi seen whether the relations between the iinperor and Catholicism will really be mutul. The Voerwaerts asserts that it seems the Emperor returned from Palestine wlth'a heightened opinion of the possible of. the church, adding: "It is no longer tie army and nobility ho asks to follow him He now regards the clergy also as an eqnally ptrong ally." An eye witness Sji the Emperor's reception at Strasburg and Stitlgart showed that his popularity has enornsusly increased in South Germany. The absence of thePrench military attache from Strasburg was commented upon anil it is surmised that he on orders from the French government, lo as not to seem to reo ognize German dombatlon of the neichlnnd It was remarked, hiwever, at the Strasburg parade, that the prefnee of French speaking people was unustiaiy large, a number or correspondents of the leading French papers were present and thy were granted every fa.

The noteworthy feUures of the maneuvers were tho Jaegers fhn pshooters) battalions of the Fourteenth Corps who were equipped with Maxim guns, the Eighth, Tenth and Fourteenth battaius of the Sharpshooters forming a brigade Wth three batteries of Maxims, especially dstinguished Itself. It is said the Maxims stotd the tests so well that all the Jaeger bataions of the army will be equipped with then. In order to mak the resemblance to actual war as close as pisible.

neither the regular telegraph or telophase lines were used within the whole maneu er territory. Instead, special messengers mi horseback, pigeons and Held telegraphs employed. Automobiles were used In transporting provisions aud ammunition and were found serviceable on paved roads in Wurtemtup even on the steepest grades. A remarkable aciiivement was the successful passage of the step Kniebis Pass. In the Black Forest, fet high, by the bicyclist division.

The naval manewlrs near Heligoland have not been scnBatloml Following the example To what baBe uses do tilings come! There Is a splendid old mansion in Second avenue, Manhattan, on the pillars of whose spacious hall now hang beer signs and in whose parlors the patrons of a cheap restaurant eat their meals and smoke their cigars. A Brooklyn man carries in his pocket a bit of brass which he found on the street that was once highly prized by some devout worshiper, for it bears on one side the inscription: "Reltquaire de la Langus de St. Antolne de Padoue," and on the other, "St. Antoine de Padoue, priez pour nous." From its once holy use this amulet has Badly degenerated, said its owner: "That thing has saved me $20. How? Why, I play penny ante occasionally and if I have that on the table beside me I never lose." There is a Platbush avenue grocer who sends his delivery wagon around with this couplet painted on its sides: THE WORLD CONTRIBUTES, 1 AND BLANK DISTRIBUTES.

It is related that when a salesman at $6 a week In a Fulton street store recently told a young woman who refused to marry him that "there is nothing left for me but wormwood and gall," she replied, "Where do you get the wormwood?" History repeats itself. Charles Lamb at dinner looked around the table as he eat down and Temarked: "There is no minister present. Let us thank God." Over the grave of a woman at Brenner Pass is a tombstone with this inscription: "Tears can not recall her therefore I weep." "We have had the croquet the tennis girl, the baseball girl, the rowing girl, the bicycle girl and girls of various other kinds. Now we have the automobile girl. The cynical bachelor says that the automobile girl is not wholly new, for all of the girls have had automatic mouths and have delighted to sing: How I love its giddy gurgle.

How I love its fluent flow. How I love to wind my mouth up, How I love to hear it go! But we are inclined to think that this is a base slander. However, it is no slander to say that women are sensitive about their age. Not long ago I met a spinster who will be 100 years old within a few weeks. I was warned beforehand not to mention the length of her life, and after she had been talking to me a while she remarked casually to disabuse me of any impression which I might have formed as to her antiquity that she was a little more than 90 years old.

She gave to herself ten years' grace, which is not bad considering how long she had lived. But it was Interesting to note that she cut short at all the total number of her years. As the Kentucky colonel said of woman, age can not stale nor custom wither her Infinite fascination. The old forms are continually recurring in the new. An architect in Warwick, Orange County, has built for himself a modified reproduction of the Anne Hathaway cottage, and you would be surprised at the ease with which it fits itself into the landscape.

Its modernity also would impress you. There is a genius working on a Buffalo newspaper. He has put at the head of a lot of remarks about men and things the line "The Lion's Part," with this passage from Shakspeare as a motto: "You may do it ex tempore, for it is nothing but roaring." Mark Twain is to spend the winter at the i Princeton Inn. It is fitting now to ask whether the Presbytery will appoint a special committee to investigate the standing of those good brethren who smile with the humorist during the long evenings of the coming months. They objected to "smiling" there when Professor Shields signed a petition for a smiling license for the Inn.

But if the Presbyterians do not frown on Mark Twain in Princeton what will the good Congregationalists say when they know that the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott is to preach in Edward Everett Hale's old pulpit in Boston in January. Dr. Hale is a Unitarian and the evangelical churches have no dealing with the unorthodox.

A great many people have been wondering why the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company is tearing up the tracks in Fulton street. Yesterday a wee tot of a girl gave the whole thing away. Her companion asked her a3 they walked along that thoroughfare why the street was torn up and partially blocked, to which she replied: "Don't you. see them old wails is tired and the mens is going to lay down new ones to make them tired too." If you keep your eyes open you may see Oora Paul Kruger walking the streets of Brooklyn. The double of the South African statesman lives in this city and has frequently been seen reading the bulletins in front of the Eagle Building.

Two little girls, neither more than 11 years old, were walking along Fulton street and one of them remarked to the other: "Say, Sarah, what do you think? Mamma told me she seed in a paper how a little boy an' a little girl, an' their papa and mamma were all made dead they eated hoppy toads. They thought they were mushrooms." "They all got dead, did they?" sympathetically responded the other, as the two little innocents walked down the street, hand in hand, unconscious of the fact that it was not "hoppy toads" that had killed the people but toadstools. CHRISTIANSEN INSTITUTE. In the magazine section of this paper the mention of the Christiansen Institute is misleading. Miss Louise Denton is the principal, assisted by Miss Dora Arens in the preparatory department; Miss Theresa A.

Faund in the primary department. Miss Minnie C. Baecht in the kindergarten, Miss Anna H. Denton on the piano, Miss Jean Hubbell in Delsarte and dancing and Miss Emma A. Lord in vocal music.

The school offers a thorough instruction in the English branches and thorough training in the German language. Beginning with the kindergarten the work is carried through nine years' course of study. The kindergarten is a special feature and the child Is immediately brought in touch with German as well as English as soon as it enters the kindergarten. Miss Denton is considered one of the most thorough teachers in the city and her school is very centrally located in the aristocratic Park Slope section. Piles Db.

HHJ5ERMAN BARR By Rev. J. F. Nash, at Church of Sacred Heart, on September 6. Report That Temporary Free Port Concessions Will Be Made to Canada.

OUR SOVEREIGNTY RETAINED. In Return, Additional Privileges for New England Fishermen, Including Bank Bights, Will Be Gained. London, September 9 Were it not for the extreme friendliness now existing between the United States and Great' Britain, the Alaska boundary dispute would be regarded here as a serious complication, and the rumors of its tentative settlement are hailed with delight. As it is, the public takes little interest in the matter, the general idea being to get it settled as soon as possible without hurting Canada's pride. It is learned from a good source that the tentative agreement provides for Canada having free ports on the Lynn Canal and at Pyramid Harbor, but without entailing any recognition by the Americans of sovereignty.

This is to be in force until the boundary line is adjusted, the United States government adhering to its claim that it must be delineated from mountain top to mountain top. In return for this free port concession, the United States will, it is said, gain additional privileges for New England fishermen, including the bank rights so stoutly advocated by Congressman Dingley. It is also said that these proposals will be submitted to the Canadian Minister of Marine and Fisheries, Sir L. H. Davies, upon his arrival here, and that the Foreign Office hopes he will consider them favorably.

Until he accepts, it is said, the terms enumerated have no more significance than the friendly suggestions of any third party anxious to settle a dispute. The fact that Sir L. H. Davies is Minister of Marine and Fisheries Is said to be responsible for his selection represent the Dominion in a mere boundary matter scarcely in his department. But when the matter involves counter concessions to New England fishermen, it Is eminently fit that he should be sent to pass on the proposals of Mr.

Reginald Tower, the British Charge d'Affalres at Washington, and Colonel John Hay, the United States Secretary of State. To day, commenting on the anti expansion movement in the United States, says: "If this means that the country at large disapproves of extension, the Democrats will come in at the next election and drop the white man's burden like a hot coal and with It the Anglo Saxon alliance. Then the British lion's tail will be twisted again and Europe wll' laugh." The strike of seamen and steamer firemen, which began last Monday, continues, but as yet it has had small effect on the shipping industry. The Seamen's Union and the ship owners make utterly opposite statements, both claiming success. But there is no doubt that unless the sailors'effect a better organization, they will not achieve the object for which they are striving, an occasional slight raise in wages.

Some delay in vessels sailing and the importation of seamen and firemen from the Continent are the only results so far achieved. The Church of England fight continues to attract attention. Most of the Bishops, including the Bishop of Lincoln, the Right Rev. Edward King, who were tried several years ago for ritualistic practices, have issued letters to their various dioceses, ordering obey ance of the Archbishop's decision. Many of the clergy, however, frankly announce they will not do so.

A weekly secular paper compares the church trouble with the Indian mutiny, which, it says, it will be remembered, arose chiefly over the trivial smearing of grease on the cartridges served out to the Sepoys. T. P. O'Connor's M. A.

P. (Mainly About People), says that though Lord William Beres ford had every prospect of being second on the list of winning race horse owners at the end of the season, it is now doubtful whether he will' be ahead, as he always has been ready to lay great odds on his American horses. Referring to the new partner whom Lord Beresford took upon the retirement of Mr. Pierre Lorillard, M. A.

P. hints that it may be the Duchesn of Marlborough incognito. Queen Victoria, it is reported, has sent to Emperor William a prized copy of her family tree bhowing King David at the top. A pot idea entertained by the Queen is that she Is descended from the Psalmist through Zede kiah's eldest daughter, and it is said that Emperor William's conviction of his divine origin is greatly due to his grandmother's foible. Mrs.

Langtry's new play. "The Degener ates, is receiving many severe criticisms, but is nightly nlllng the Haymarket Theater, where it is being produced. GRAND CLOSING CONCERT. Manager Grover's Plans for a Final Festival of Music. Manager William T.

Grover of the Brighton Beach Music Hall has arranged for a grand concert to be given at the beach next Sunday one week from to da to celebrate the close of a most successful season. His plan, which is not entirely perfected yet, includes the massing, as it were, of the entire Brooklyn Marine Band of ninety instruments, which is really the largest organization of the kind before the public. It will be made up especially for the occasion, and with regard to the large number of pieces playing together. This large musical aggregation does not rep resent an augmented band, but simply the entire Slafer's Brooklyn Marine Band playing on this occasion in its entirety. It may not have been generally known that a band of such magnitude was in existence In Brooklyn, but such is the fact, and Manager Grover could at any time produce this full organization, which comprises musicians of talent, reputation and standing, who wear the uniform of the Brooklyn Marine Band.

During the week Mr. Grover will select the vocal soloists, who will probably contribute from six to eight numbers, and arrange the general plan of the concert. The festival will begin on Sunday afternoon with the regular afternoon concert on the lawn, to which the public is invited free, as usual, the entire band of ninety, instead of the regular complement of forty men being employed. At 8 o'clock, in Music Hall, the festival proper will be inaugurated, when the full strength of the band will be heard in the most pretentious concert of the season, which will embrace beside, the services of special vocal and instrumental soloists who have been engaged. One point already decided upon is that there will be no increase in the price of admission.

SERVICES ANNOYED HER. Mrs. Lazelle of 601 Herkimer street appeared in the Gates aveune court yesterday 3 a complainant against the Rev. Joseph McDonald, a colored preacher. Mrs.

Lazelle said that the colored folks were conducting meetings In the church at the corner of Schenectady avenue and Herkimer street, and that the noise made by the exhorters and shoutera was unduly loud and continued until a late hour at bight. Owing to a remarkable plea made by Attorney Rufus Perry, Magistrate Worth decided that he had no Jurisdiction in the case and referred the complainant to the Board of Health. DROUGHT IN MAINE. Bangor, September 9 The drought which has prevailed in this section of Maine since midsummer still continues, the showers of a few days since having had little effect except to lay the dust, and the need of a long rain is severely felt, especially by the lumber industries.

PUTS HIS FAITH IN COLUMBIA. Believes the Shamrock Is a Fine Craft, but BCas Great Respect for American Skill. Captain Henry Hoffmanm of this borough Is one of the few men in this part of the country who have tho honor and distinction of having sailed on the famous old schooner yacht America when she captured the Queens' Cup, for which the Columbia and Shamrock are to race next month. He is to day a well known wealthy business man, with offices in Manhattan, and lives with his family in one of the linest residences in the Flatbush section. When the famous race was sailed in English waters, forty odd years ago, Captain Hoffmanm was classed among the America's crew as an ordinary seaman and performed the work of a regular sailor.

That he was more than an ordinary seaman in everything but name wa3 proven by his rapid rise to wealth and position. He is a small man, with bright eye3, very active, and appears far younger, than a person who has passed the three score mark In life's journey. He is Jovial, fond of good company and a royal entertainer, as scores of his friends can testify. He has, naturally, taken a deep interest in all the international yacht races, and though a busy man finds time on race days to take out a party of his friends on one of his steamers to see the flyers. Since the Shamrock arrived in American waters and so many reports have been circulated about her fine qualities.

Captain Holl'manm has been sought by newspaper representatives and others tu pass judgment on the Columbia's rival. An Eagle representative, after several attempts to locate the cap lain, found him at his home, Linden ave aue. the other night, and asked him 'which yacht he expected would win the corning race. "Why, the Columbia, of course," he re plied, puffing a fragrant Havana. "Every true American wants to see the Yankee boat win, and what is there lo prevent We have in this country the best of materials, skilled workmen aud money and brains a plenty a hard comuination to heat, you admit." Asked what he thought of the Shamrock as a racer.

Captain Hoffmanm replied: "I hav; been asked thai question often ot late and" 1 can only answer as on previous oo casions. I must first sec the sloop under sail before I can pass an opinion. I have no doubt the visitor is a good boat, but It is too early fot any cue to tell which yacht 1 will win the race. To judge the boats, I want lo see mure of their work. The Herres holi's were instructed to turn out a sloop that would beat the Defender and they did so with i Columbia.

You can rest assured it will ttilit? good boat to outsail her." "cptain Hoffmann hopes to see Shamrock under canvas to day and with a party of his friends will izo down the bay on one of his earners early this morning. Captain Hoffmanm has visit nearly every tscaport in the world. He uorn a town on the Baltlo, at the age 7 years was left an orphan, his parents 'lying of cholera. He then went to live with his tin l. a ship rigger, and soon after went to a lie was fine of the crew i of eight who crossed the ocvan from New York on the Amur 'n and remained with the yacht i it was sold.

Then he went to London catne tn New York on a clipper ship. Ha continued to T'oilow the sea and was soon in command ef a yacht. "I hav nevrr seen bill one of the men who sailed on the Ama. ii stiiQ plain Hoffmanm. "and I met him at Rio Janeiro three years nficr the race.

Thai yacht was as fine a hunch of limber as was ever fastened together. We fooled the F. glishmeu in the first races and then surprised them when we sailed for the up. Yes, she was a good boat and no misitike." Cautain fl'n ivai first olFicor en the schooner vacht Kivct.vinR in her celebrated ocean race. "I remember tne tne six memoers or the crew ove hoard a.id lost," id Captain Hoffmanm.

speaking of that trip. "We were before the ind and had 120 fathoms cable out over the stern to split the seas. The yacht was close reefed and making good weather. I had just gone below deck, whi 1 felt a lurch and going on deck found a sea had boarded us. The six men were missing and nothing could be dona to rescue them.

The yacht club made up a big purse and distributed it among the families of the men who were drowned. That was an exciting trip, but it ended all right." MY DYING SON. iRy Carola Fransioli. in loving remembrance of the Rev. Augustus Helvetius Fran sioli, C.

Ss. Thy picture stands upon the table. My son of sorrow, priest of God; Tho room in dark, yet I am able 1 To see thy race when lightnings flash. A mother's tears, a mother's blessing, I send to thee, my saint, my son; And with my trembling hands caressing, I fain would be, thy pale, moist brow. Thou art away, and thou art dying.

Far up above the thunder rolls; The mighty voice of death is crying; God speed thy soul, my dying son. A BENEFIT TESTIMONIAL. A benefit testimonial to Charles L.
