Weer, whose house was burned down in Happy Valley during the holi- day season, was in town Friday ad- justing the loss, and he tells us that he was treated satisfactorily by the ad- justers and agents of the insurance company carrying the risk.

Frlelrds Pay Their Last Tribute to the Deceased Many Floral Pieces. If ever the last honors paid to a man have manifested the esteem and personal regard he inspired among his friends and acquaintances, that man was the late Francis W. Thompson. The Native Sons turned out in full force, although some of them could hardly afford to leave their work. The Good Templars were represented by nearly the entire membership and the Christian Endeavor Society of the Congregational Church attended in large numbers.

After the customary services at the residence of the deceased, funeral cere monies were held at the Congregational Church at 2 P. M. Friday. These ceremonies were attended by the socie ties already reterrea to ana a very iarge number of friends, Including the relatives of the deceased. Mis.

Thomp- son, mother of the deceased, was too ill to attend the funeral. The ceremonies were conducted by Rev. J. G. Taylor of the Congregational Church and Rev.

II. F. Briggs of the Methodist Church. Mr. in his sermon, paid a tribute to the deceased, emphasizing the fact that his life was such as to serve as a model for any young man.

Rev. Mr. Briggs offered prayer in very touching words. The choir, consisting of Mrs. May Williamson, Miss Anna Linscott, Prof.

J. W. Linscott and Frank Mattison, rendered impressive anthems. The societies, of which the deceased was an active member, contributed some elegant floral pieces. The prettiest was a floral pillow of carnations, ferns, orchids and white llowers from the Native Sons.

Before the close of the service the of the co(Tm wag an(1 everyone of those presont nad an ()p. portunity to cast a last look upon the features of the deceased. The face looked very natural indeed, owing to the fact that the body had been embalmed at the request of the Native Sons. The funeral procession was headed by the Good Templars, who, in honor of the high office which the deceased the Gon(1 Templars were: Chas. M.

Lewis, L. L. Attebery, W. P. Netherton and Lewis G.

Williams; from the Native Sons: W. I. Newman, R. II. Pringle, W.

D. Ilaslam and Chas. E. Williams; from the Christian Endeavorers: Frank Heath, Edward March, Ernest Otto and John Janson. The ceremonies at the grave were performed by the Native Sons.

President Wm. T. Vahlberg began the service In a very impressive manner. by throwing a white rose Into the grave. Then the Native Sons concluded the services by depositing twigs of evergreen upon the coffin.

Rev. J. G. Taylor then led in prayer and committed the body to its last resting place. i Past District Templar Robinson of Boulder Creek, and District Secretary WHlett Ware of Soquel also attended the funeral, as representatives of the Good Templar Lodges of their respective towns.

The pall-bearers of the Native Sons were all Past Presidents, owing to the high position of the deceased in the New Itrlghton Beh the Scene of Lively Crowd of Fun-Makert. It was a jolly crowd of young people, composed of eight of the prettiest and liveliest of Sequel's many pretty belles, and accompanied by as many escorts, whom It is needless to remark, were of the opposite sex, that left Soquel and wended Its way towards New Brighton beach, stopping only at "Houghton's Corner" a few moments for reinforcements, arid then proceeding merrily on. The young men were ladened with baskets and bundles of divers kinds, which contained eatables of various descriptions, all the way from raw potatoes to coffee and cake, all of which had been provided by the thoughtful young ladies of the company. Arriving at the beach, -the baskets and all unnecessary wraps were carefully deposited in the Bank (sandbank) and a huge pile of wood, built bon-firewise, which had been collected during the earlier part of the day by some of the young men who were ably assisted by Mr. Mason's pet carriage horse, was set on fire, and the beach was illuminated for many yards around.

The pale moon that was jiist beginning to peep over the distant1 mountain-tops, lent its dim radiance to the romantic scene. After all had taken part i i various games and worked off sor.v of their exhilaration, and eonsiderab' perspiration also, seats were taken round the bon-fire, and Miss Cibba Middleton rendered several pretty selections on the guitar, while Willet Ware sang two or three song's in his own delightful way. Tom Hickey was unable to respond to the many pressing invitations to sound the note's of his pleasing voice, owing to the fact that he had expended nearly all of his breath and a great deal of muscle, in throwing rocks at a small dark object near the water's edge, which, through the evil influence of one or two of his companions, He was lead to believe was one of those" small odoriferous animals that had been engaged in perfuming the air before the arrival of the crowd, but which subsequently proved, greatly to Tom's chagrin and the amusement of his companions, the ladles especially, a small bunch of sea-weed. At a late hour, when the exercise and sea-air had whetted the appetites of all present to a keen edge, the provisions were brought forth, and eacn one proceeded to do his or her share towards preparing a repast that epicures might well envy. Coffee was made, steak was broiled to a delicious brown, and those raw potatoes were roasted to a most impartial ebony hue, while other novelties in the line of eatables were set forth, and to cap the climax, pop-corn was popped to a snowy whiteness over the glowing embers.

All the young ladies and Miss Clara McKinstry especially, deserve much! praise for the efficient manner in which the feast was conducted. After refreshments, one or two' more games were indulged in, and then the merry crowd broke up and went slow- ly back to Soquelk where they dis persed, and wended their ways to their various homes, while the mellow light of the now full moon streamed down from her throne in the starry heavens smiling impartially on all, and held whispered communion with the waves that plashed gently on the sands. Those present were: Misses Clara ts.vha Por Tmicv taatm llattie Nutter, Edith Schellenger, Ada i Hall, Cibba Middleton and Cora Com- warn whit i.i Hicke'y, Mason, Maxwell, Peck and Amiel Johnson.

Lovelett attempted to use some gunpowder for a disinfectant by putting it on the live coals in the stove from a can held in his hand, when it exploded, driving the can through the roof and tearing the stove to pieces. Mr. Lovelett. is quite badly burned and bruised, and Miss Hattie Jones is severely burned. They will both recover, but Lovelett may lose an eye.

i If you don't take the "Sentinel" you don't get the news. I i I Written for the "Sentinel." i I 1 There's a coral-bound Isle In the midst of the sea, And the south wind has whispered Of Its beauties unto me. Where friendship and love, And true manly worth, Outweigh all the baubles Ever dug from the earth. Where the sweet lotus blooms And the lyre birds sing, Where the soft waves murmur In the sweet breath of spring. With Love for a master, And Faith for a guide, In this dear land of sunshine' It were joy to abide.

I'll stay me not here, In this land so braw, Where grief Is the master And greed is the law. Where humanity's claim To humanity's right, Is trampled on by vandals In the power of their might. But I'll hie me away To this summerland fair, Where the (lowers bloom forever In the spice-laden air. Where man loves his neighbor And peace rules the day. In this fairy land of pleasure I will dream my life away.

W. J. CASKEY. New Stories Retold. The following Incident occurred a few-days ago at a ball in Berlin.

A colonel advanced toward a young lieutenant, who bore on his breast a large badge richly set with diamonds. "Tell me, young man," he said, "what is that tnmK you navt lnerer 11 13 an order, my colonel, replied the lieutenant. "An order?" exclaimed the colo- nel. "It is not Prussian then, for I don't know it." "It is an English order, my colonel," replied the juvenile officer. "Ah, indeed!" said his superior; "who for goodness sake could have glyen you such an order?" "My grandmother, colonel," was the reply.

"Your grandmother!" ejaculated the colonel, bursting out laughing; "what is her name?" "Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Queen of England," answered the young lieutenant, who was none other than Prince Albert of Schleswig-Holstein. The colonel suddenly disappeared. At one time the United States District Attorney of Chicago was a lawyer of some ability but was chiefly distinguished for his fearful pomposity. He would no familiarity, and would brook no contradiction. At one time he was trying a case before a court and jury and was anxious to have the court rule with him on a certain point.

"How Is that?" was the next inquiry. "Well, most Sheriffs to appoint their deputies, but I like to shoot mine." When the corner-stone of the Jefferson Davis monument was laid, in the mi'lst of the speech-making an old m'Kro pushed his way through the crowd and approaching the Governor sairl: 'Please.

After he bad got his mansion completed and elegantly furnished, he sent East for his old sweetheart and they were to be married upon her arrival in Salinas.

The brother went to the city, met the young lady and married her himself. R. T. Buell didn't do any thing desperate, but the circumstance soured him on the world and embittered his life ever afterwards.

Millett, daughters and son-in-law, desire to express their thanks to the kind neighbors and faithful friends who laid aside all prejudices in regard to religious belief, and who so generously assisted the family in more ways than one during their late bereavement. We also extend our grateful appreciation to the daily papers which kindly and willingly spoke what we consider the truth of our dear husband arid father. We wish to further state that all such kindnesses are valued by the family more than money, which seems to be needed so much In this life, -because we realize that good thoughts and kind sympathies last longer.
