Dot IIIh Dinner.
A city official, who supposes the epl
ode is a closo family secret, arranged
with his wife to meet her at tho office
last Friday night at 7 o'clock, says tho
Now York Herald. They wero then to
have dinner at a hotel, aud attend tho
theater. Ho was prompt, but his wlfo
had not yet arrived, bo ho patiently
waited on tho sidewalk with his eyes
on tho door that she mlfeht not come
without his knowledge. Ho paced back
and forth, reading the bulletins, ob
serving the direction of the wind and
looking at the clock as it marked the
passing minutes; but he saw nil who
entered the building. He heard a loud
clanging el gongs, as a firo engine
dashed down Gth avenue, and turned
his head for not rnoro than five seconds
to look after It. His wlfo was only a
few minutes late, aa sne hurried from
a Broadway car and rushed into tho
office, during tho five seconds his head
was turned. Sho hnd not seen him, and
was pleased to think hat ho would be
the one to bo blamed for being late, as
sho sat down to wait his coming. Ho
continued to wait and pace, as the
clock ticked off the minutes. Eight
o'clock was near nnd ho became very
Impatient, ns ho realized that It meant
to either miss dinner or tho first act of
the play. When 8 o'clock wns pnBscd
ho saw another act slip away. In a
few minutes more ho had given up the
theater, and feared for tho dinner. In
another ten minutes all of tho plcis
wero changed, and ho determined to
go homo. Sho was also discouraged
and hurried to tho street to tnko a
northbound cable car. They met, and
well; tho theater was given up, but
they bad a dinner and each promised
to say ootbing about lw

HE crew of tho
German gunboat
lllls havo givon tho
world a lesson in
how to dlo well
With their ship on
the bring of Inevit
able destruction,
they joined hands
and sang the na
tional military
- """-eO hymn, "The Flag-
ftenlicd." Singing that song they went
to their death cheerfully. The lllls be
gan her last voyage on July 23 last,
when she left Chcfoo, In China, for
Nagasaki, in Japan. Sho was a gun
boat of 2500 tons, a small vessel of tho
clhss which is maintained by European
powers in Asiatic waters for the pur
pose of punishing natives, protecting
citizens, nnd so forth. It docs not ap
pear that sho had any ono particular
defect, but she was too weak to face
the terrible storm which overtook her.
Before nightfall the ship wns over
tnken by ono of those terrible .storms
which rage with such fury on the east
era const of Asia. When darkness
came the storm was still increasing in
fury. Tho crow were helpless and
crouched under tho bulwarks holding
on to ropes nnd mils for their lives.
Great seas broko over the deck, drown
ing nnd Injuring many men. The ship
wns beyond control of helm or engines
nnd incapable of making a course in
ho direction in which safety lay. Un
til nearly midnight the storm flung
the helpless ship aboi.i. Then, having
been lifted on the crest of an enormous
wave, sho fell with a crai'i which
shook her from stem to stern. She had
struck on a reef, which proved to bo
ono off tho southeast promontory on
tho Chinese coast. 'J, ho boats wero
washed away, tho men were powerless
to save the ship, and thoir u:ily chanco
of life lay in clinging io a ship that
was fast breaking up. After nearly
twelvo hours of battle with tho stor.a
It only romnined for theiu to die. Cap.
tain Braun, who had neor for a mo
ment relaxed his efforts to save the
ship, saw that his work wa3 over. His
stalwart form and his calm, but strong
German face will live in the memory
of tho few survivors until their last
hour. He called all the officers and
men around him on deck, and, taking
each ono by tho hand bade him fare
well. Then ho told the whole crew that
they had done their duty like men, and
would do well to end by giving three
cheers for tho Kaiser aij.t for Germany.
These wore ghen with a strength that
struggled with tht roar of tho wind
and waves. The ship was then fast
breaking up. A chasm had opened
abaft tho foremast, and tho waves
breaking orer the doc'.c threatened
overy moment to tear away the greater
part of tho ship and sink in under the
lolling sea. Then Gunner Kaehm
yelled to tho men to sing tho national
military hymn, tho "Flaggonlled." B
that tlmo a sort of intoxication bom
of contempt for death had como over
thorn. Joining hands for good 'ellow-
ship nnd also, to save one anotL
fow moments more from the
of the waves, officers and men
on tho dock of tho lllls as the sang
tho hymn, the refrain of which Is:
"Tho Kaiser nnd our standard, Hoch'
"The flag, black, white and red."
They hnd barely concluded the hynu.
when tho ship broke up und tho aftei
part of her was engulfed in tho sea
A very few managed to reach tho small
part fast on tho reef not ono officer
among thorn. Of tho thirteen men who
succeeded in clinging to tho wreck,
eleven wero eventually saved. They
Bpent a terrible night, during which
several of them wero washed off nnd
two drowned. The wholo of tho next
day tho storm continued with consid
trablo violence, and thoy remained in
.heir misornblo position. At the end

keeper at rtotitneaiti timiniimjiy wus
able to reach thorn in n boat nnd then
taken off. Mosluhuer, boatswain of tho
wrecked ship, has written a letter to a
friend describing that terrible night.
In the course of hl3 letter, tho boats
wain says: "It almost made my heart
6iok, though, when, as tho lllls lay
pounding on tho rooks, almost on her
beam end, ('apt. Braun came down
from the bridge and shook each of us
by tho hand. I could have cried liko
an infant, but ho wacd his hand to
ward the Hag, and bofcf ws knew It
wo wero singing at the toy -d our voices
our dear old national hym.i Our voices
sounded weird and strange above the
Btorm. I can't describe the scene it
was so unlike anything you can imag
inc. There wo wero dancing around
tho deck liko school boys, while every
flne of us knew our time had como. It
is said that one conjures up everything
'.hat has passed when death comes,
but I thought of nothing but the grand
words of that song and the cheers we
gave thi) flag. In fact, before I had
much lime to think of anything else,
Bhe went to pieces, nnd I found myself
guzzling the briny water. Phew, but it
was rough! I was caught in tho crest
of a wave and carried toward it, and by
ood fortune managed to clutch a rope
that wns dangling from tho bowsprit.
I scrambled up on tho top of the wreck,
and in a few minutes others as fortu
nate as I Joined me."
