Death of Latimer Booth.

in the f't-htivitlrs.
Latimer Booth died at his home in
this city last night at midnight. He
had been seriously ill for some time, and
yet his death might be classed as a sud
den one, he having been engaged in bis
usual pursuits until a very short time
ago.
He was born in this city in 18G1 and has
resided here nearly all the time since.
He was married in 1887, to Nettie,
daughter of C. C. Hobart, of this city,
who survives him, as do two children,
the fruit of their marriage, they being
Hobart, aged about 9 years, and Leah,
aged about 5. Besides these are bis
mother, Mrs. Mary L. Booth, three
sisters, Mrs. May Wilson of Jersey town,
Penn., Mrs. WilliB Sharp and Caddie
Booth, and a brother, John Booth, all of
this city. Deceased had many friends
here whose tenderest sympathies go out
to the bereaved relatives. Funeral Sun

from the Congregational church.

will not be many weeks ere the road will

Fern Loduc, Degree of Honor, cele
brated its third anniversary lust night
in its usual social manner. Riverside
lodge of Hood River was the special
guest of the evening, thirty-six of its
members attending. The visitors came
up on the Dalles City, and when they
and the committee on reception and
dozens of other members of Fern Lodue
met on the boat, there was such a chat
tering and hand-shaking as would make
one think the first Bpring convention of
a bevy of black birds was under way,
though the birds in this case were "fair"
instead. In a short time the visitors
were carried oh" to the homes of our peo
ple, each lady vying with every other in
the effort to secure some of them.
The lodge was called to order prompt
ly at 8 o'clock, the hall being prettily
decorated and the long tables spread.
After a very short session, the doors
were thrown open to visiting members
of the A. 0. U. W. not members of the
D. of H., and a short program was ren
dered, opening with a piano duet by
Mrs. Craadall and Mrs. Eihelman, fol
lowed by a song by Mr. S. J. La France of
Riverside, accompanied by Miss Anne
Smith, also of Riverside, the title being
"My Dad's an Engineer." It was re
ceived with a storm of applause and an
encore so vigorous that it could not be
suppresed. This was followed by a re
citation "Shandon Bells," with piano
accompaniment, by Miss Bee Sterling,
which was a vory pretty thing. This
was followed by n selection from Pina
fore, given by Dr. Eshelman, Miss
Sampson, Arthur CUrke and Mrs. C. F.
Stephens.
Then the guests were seated at the
tables, and Chief of Honor Miss Mabel
Sterling delivered a brief, but eloquent,
address of welcome, which was very
happily responded to by Mrs. E. L.
Smith of Riverside.
J. H. Cradlebaugh, toastmaster, called
upon Mr. J. A. Douthit to respond to
the sentiment "The Banner Lodge and
Its Birthday," .which ho did in a very
feltcitoue speech lasting five minutes.
Mrs. C. F. Stephens made a very
happy response to ,the toast. "Our
Brothers, by Adoption," which was
heartily applauded, and Mr. J. F. Moore
told what he thought about "Our Sisters,
by Brevet," which evened up honors
between the brothers and sisters, the
two responses ehowing the tender bonds
of sympathy and affection existing in
the family, and the keen appreciation
each had for the excellence, as well as
the weaknesses, of the other.
Mr. Lee Morse, Master of Riverside
Lodge, A. 0. U. W., made a short talk
tiiat was not down on the bills, but
which was thoroughly appreciated,
Mrs. Sunderland, of Fidelity lodge of
Portland, and Mr. A. A. Jayneof Arling
ton each spoke briefly, and then the
tables were removed and dancing was
kept up until after 1 o'clock, when with
light hearts all said good bye, and tbe
lights went out on one of tbe most

When death comes to the old and they
are cut down in the fullness of years, wo
recognize in it but the kindly act of Na
ture taking from the field the ripened
grain. But when the fatal arrow strikes
the buds just blossoming into the full
flower of life, then indeed are hearts
heavy and grief poignant.
But a few short weeks ago we were
called upon to chronicle, the saddest oi
all duties falling to an editor's lot, the
death of it young girl just budding into
womanhood. Today that task is again
ours, and made doubly sad since it is of
the Bister of that other wo must speak.
Pearl Butler died today a few minutes
before noon. For seven long weeks
loving hands have ininiritered to her
every want, loving eyes have seen her
fade almost imperceptibly away, loving
hearts have battled with the destroyer,
fighting so bravely, so persistently, eo
hopelessly for the life of the dear one,
and they have lost. It was a pathetic
struggle, watched with dim eyes by sor
rowing friends.
Before the end came, when Pearl
knew that iu a few short hours the buii
light should thine for her no more for
ever; that the voices of those she loved
no more would sound sweet music in
her ears ; that for her were the shroud,
the bier, the cofliu and the little mound,
where she must lie until the trump
should sound and cherubim and sera
phim should gatiier from the limits of
the earth the children of God she
looked with unflinching eyes upon
death's approach, and died us "one who
wraps the draperies of his couch about
him and lies down to pleasant dreams."
She expressed a desire to live until she
might again see her sister, Nell, who
came upon the noon train, and this wish
was granted her, for she could only look
the farewell, she could not speak, and
died iu her Bister's arms two minutes
after her arrival. She had before this
requested that the funeral services be
held at the house, "that they may be
very quiet, with no singing," so that
"Carrie may not bo disturbed," and in
accordance with this, her wieh, the
funeral services will be conducted at the
house Saturday at 10 o'clock and will
consist, at her requeet, simply of "a
prayer by Rev. Woods, and a few short,
remarks by Rev. Curtis."
