THE LEXiHSTQN DISPATCH.

In Lovi&? Iteneaibrance.
Sweet Little Ethel Derrick has Gone to
Receive Her Reward. j
Low she lies who blest otir eyes,
Tlrrongh many a summer day;
She may not smile, she will not rise?
Her life has passed away!
Tet there is a world of light beyond, . '
Where we neither die nor sleep?
She is there, of whom our souls were
fond,
Then wherefore do we weep?
The heart is cold whose tnougnt were
told
In each glace of her glad bright eye;
And she lies pale, who was so bright;
She scarce seemed made to die.
Yet we know that her soul is happy now,
Where the saints their calm watch keep;
And angels are crowing her young fair
brow
In paradise.
S
Her laughing voice made all rejoice
Who caught the happy sound.
There was gladness in her very step,
As it lightly touched the ground.
The echoes of her voice and step are
gone,
There is silence still and deep,
Yet we know that she sings by God's
bright throne,
Where all is fair.
The cheeks pale tinge, the lids dark
frincfi.
O''
That lies like a shadow there,
Were beautiful in the eyes of - all,
And her glossy golden hair,
But though that lid may never wake,
From its dark and dreamless sleep:
She is gone where young hearts do* not
break, "?
And shall never return to us again.
:
That world of light with joy is bright, i
This is a world of woe;
Shall we grievejthat her soul has taken
flight,
Because we dwell before?
We will hurry her under the mossy sod
And one bright memory we'll keep,
We have only given her to God,
Therefore we should not weep,
*
'Tis hard to break the tender chord.
When love has bound the heart,
Tis hard, so hard to speak the word,
We must forever part.

Our Naval Strength.
Washington, D. C., May 31 ?Ifc is
almost impossible to estimate the
strength of the new navy of the
United States today compared with
what it W88 only a few years back,
and while Admiral Togo's sweeping
victory is fresh in the mind of the
people of the world, it is interesting
_ to see what would probably be the
result of a naval fight by this coun.
. * m, a _ l i _ ...
try toaay. xne advocates 01 a new
and strong navy will indeed be glad
to run over the list and see the number
and strength of first class battleships,
armored cruisers, torpedo
boats, torpedo boat destroyers, etc.,
on the active list in active commission,
and ready st a moment's notice
to do battle with the great powers of
the world.
All of our naval force is divided
into three fleets at this time?the
North Atlantic fleet, under Admiral
Robley D. Evans, the Pacific and
the Asiatic fleet. The North Atlantic
fleet being possibly the strongest of
the three, contains more first class
battleships and armored cruisers
than the other two, yet neither of
the other two are considered weak by
any means, containing many of the
smaller and swifter sea going craft
of the navy.
Admiral Evans' fleet consists of
the following compliment: Flagship
Kearsarge, twenty-two guns; Alabama
and Illinois, eighteen guns
each; Kentucky, twenty-two guns;
Maine, twenty guns; Massachusetts,
sixteen guns; Missouri, twenty guns;
Iowa, eighteen guns; gun boat Scor
pion, eight guns; cruiser, Brooklyn,
twenty guns; Des MoiDee, ten guns;
protected cruiser Cleveland, ten gum;
Olympia, fourteen guns Texas,
second class battleship, eight gccf:
monitors Florida, Arkansas and Nevada,
six gunseicb; protected cruiser
Newark; gun boats Bancroft and
Castine; converted cruiser Dixif;
protected cruisers Chattanooga and
Detroit gun boat Newport; protect
fcJU criusme xauuuia, JL/CD iuuujcc,
Galveston, Aberande; collier Caesar;
coal supply sbipCoiga; Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Colorado and Maryland,
ail armored cruisers; Minneapolis
and Columbia, protected
cruisers; cruiser Hartford; converted
cruiser Prairie; gun boat Topeka;
converted cruiser Yankee; torpedo
! boat destroyers, twelve; two submarines;
eighteen torpedo boats in
reserve; one submarine in reserve.
This strength represents the North
Atlantic fleet alone, now under command
of Admiral Evans.
There are now in commission, and
ready for service at any moment
when Ihe department may call for
them, the following ships: Three
ships of the class of the Alabama,
11,525 tone, 18 gans main gun battery;
three of the Oregon class,
10,288 tons, 16 guns main battery;
one of the class of the Iowa, 11,340
tons, 18 guns main battery; two of
the Kersarge class, 11.525 tons, 22
guns main battery; three of the class
of the Maine, 12,500 tons, 20 guns;
one second class battleship Texas,
6,350 tons, eight guns main battery,
armored cruisers, Brooklyn, - 9,215
tons, 20 guns main battery; New
York, 8,200 tons, 18 guns main battery;
two of the West Virginia class,
13,g80 tons, 18 guns main battery;
two of the Pennsylvania, 13,780 tons,
18 guns main battery. There are
also two monitors of the class of the
Monadnock, 4,500 tons, six guns; one
of the Puritan, 6,000 tons, ten guns;
three of the Ampbifcrite, 3,990 tone,
eight guDF; four of the Florida clase,
3,214 tons, bis guns. Besides these
there are four torpedo boat destroyers
of the Decatur class besides
numereus other destroyers and torpedo
boats.
There are now under construction,
forty-three ships of which twelve are
first class battleships, ten are armored
cruisers, three protected cruisers,
the others being gun boats, colliers
and torpedo boats.
With this formidable array of sea
fighters it can be seen, that the
United States at the present time is
pretty well able to take care of itself,
should occasion arise for her to show
her progress on the high seas of the
world. Besides this it is not improbable
that since we have made so
much progress along this line during
recent years that now nothing will
stop this country from standing
second to no country in the world in
naval equipment. ^

Japanese Losses Less.
Tokio, June 2.?The announcement
is made that the Japanese losses ic
the great naval battle were 115 offi
cers and men killed and 424 wounded.
The revised figures give a total
which is considerably less than the
estimate of 800 which was first made
by Togo.

Eojestvonsky a Prisoner.
Tokio, May 21, 5 p. m.?It is nov
certain that Admiral R jestvensky ii
a prisoner of the Japanese. He ii
wounded in the forehead, legs am
back, but will recover. Vice Admi
ral Yoelkersarn is supposed to hav.
perished.
Little hope for the Russians cbi
be found in the latest dispatches re
garding the naval battle of Tsu is

Rojestvensky's fleet are known ti
have reached Vladivostok, the cruise

' Japanese losses as reported fron

sunk, three officers killed 8Dd abou
200 men killed or disabled. Not one o

' ed to the situation in Russia as th
* result of the naval disaster. Th
P Emperor Wednesday summoned t
I the palace Tsarskoe-Selo all the mem

fc called into extraordinary council Ad
* miral Alexiff and all hi3 ministers c
' state, and a series of conference
took place as to the course to be pui
t Bued. The result of these conference
is in doubt, ministers on returning t
St. Petersburg observing a cautiou
reticence as to what took place. I
is believed, however, that the empe:
or is determined on a prosecution c
1 the war, the government .fearing th

HE was a good nature;! man. Genuine
Irish jollity was radiated
from everj* knob of his wrinkled
! face and twinkled in his bespectacled
[
eyes. Upon entering" the car he sat
! down near the front door and winked
, at a baby across the aisle. Presently
[ two women came in. There was room
t for both ;lt the Irishman's right. but
they preferred to sit at his left hand.
One of them took the corner seat, and
the other stood expectantly, waiting
for him to move along and make room
! for her. lie moved,
i After awhile another woman came
5 in. There was a space of about four
inches between the good natured mail
L and the woman on the left. The newcomer
eyed it covetously. Presently
1 the Irishman took the hint and slipped
' along a little farther. During the next
IGI1 minutes lour more ciwuo
in. iind each, following the example
of her predecessor, glanced with scorn
at the unoccupied portion of the seat
and stood patiently before the good
natured man. beseeching him silently
but none the less' fervently to move on.
And always he moved.
Finally a stout woman came in. She,
too, as if by preconcerted action, repeated
the tactics of her sisters, but
that time the man did not move. For
a moment he surveyed the distance he
had already traveled in his trip from
the front of the car; then, in reply to
the stout woman's unexpressed request,
he broke out defiantly:
"No, I'll be darned if I do!" he said.
"I've already slid the whole length of
f this ear from the front door to the
back to accommodate people. If I
slide again I'll be clear out on the plat;
form. I decline to go. If there is any
more moving done, somebody else has
1 got to do it. I won't."
The stout woman blushed. "What
Impertinence," she said and sat down
, on the opposite side of the car.?New

5 Retaliation at a Dance.
i She was young. It was her first sea>
son, and it pleased her to snub her cub
5 cousin most unmercifully whenever he
j- asked for a dance.
"No," she protested one evening, "you
can't see my programme. It's all full."
"But there'll be extras. Can't I have
1 an extra?"
1 "Ye-es," returned the young woman,
1 grudgingly relinquishing her card, "but
' don't take the first one. It's promised."
Later in the evening when she looked
to see which dance her cousin had appropriated
she found that she had food
for reflection. The young man had put
J his name down for the four hundredth
