A SOUAORON OF POWERFUL CRUISERS OFF HEW YORK New York, April Jl.—A squadron - of three cruisers, the moat powerful 1 gathered here since the war began, lay 5 off the entrance to New York harbor , to-day. Closest to the shore lay a four-fun ' nel British i miser, seven miles east f of Ambrose Channel lightship. Her • name and the names of her companions conld not be* made out, even through i glasses. Ten miles east of the High lands rode the second ship, an auxil iary cruiser, big and with lines that spelled speed. This cruiser, observers thought, was a straager here, the Ca ronia having departed, presumably far supplies. The largest ship of the squadron, a • four-funnel cruiser, - east of the Highlands. This vessel, » too, had not been seen previously by shore observers. For more than an hour messages were exchanged 'between the two war- I ships. Apparently the four funnel cruis er, in command of the squadron, was issuing orders. Later a small boat put , out from the auxiliar cruiser Rearing , officers. She made the five-mile trip to - the four funnel cruiser and the officers . went a-board. 3 Meantime the cruiser off the Am a tirose lightship sighted the incoming ; motor ship Falstria, flying the flag of f Denmark. The Dane answered the i. warship's signal by Bteaniing slowly " close by, as if for inspection. After - running up answering signals, the Fal stria headed for port.

They give an absolutely faithful por trayal of the black man as he really exists. Mr. Mclntyre as a pessimistic toon, and Mr. Heath as the colored fjemmen with pronounced optimistic ideas of life, are exceedingly funny in every thing they do, but as the minstrel men AMUSEMENTS | AMUSEMENTS 'majestic THEATRE "SKK.'K.g 1, " SATURDAY, SB APRIL 24 Mail Qrifers Now Seats To-morrow 3M C INTYRE BOOK 8"»OCOROt V HO6ARt LYRICS 6* WIILIAH JUOME 81 JtAri SCHWAftT? ppiprc Matinee 25c to $1.50, 400 Seats at rmULd-si oo Evening 25c to $2.00.

GAKMAN Beautiful Floral Tribute From Neigh bors Placed on Her Grave Yesterday Neighbors anil friends who knew and lovnl Mrs. Louisa C. Garman for her numerous, kindnesses to them ex pressed their grief over her death when they united yesterday in paying tribute to her memory in the form of a huge spray of carnations beuring the card, "A tokeu from those whom she had be friended and who knew and loved her." Mrs. Garman had lived at 62 0 Ham ilton street from the time that section of the city was almost an open field. She had seen the town grow up about her, and she took a kindly, interest in all those-in tho neighborhood who need ed a helping hand. So it was that when she became ill some montliß ago with pneumonia, the whole neighborhood joined in wishing he-r u sueedy recovery; 13 in "The Ham Tree" their talents ap jpea# to the greatest advantage. i Mclntyre and Heath joined hands in San Antonio, Texas, in the spring of 1 1 874, at the Vaudeville Theatre. They played many variety and eir«ur. engage ments until the fall of IX7S, when they organized Mclntyre and Heath*' Min strels. One year later they made tiieir lirst -New York appenrance at Tony Pastor's Theatre, introducing i'or the first time in the North 'buck wing dancing, scoring an instantaneous and I pronounced success.—Ad v. e but she never gained strength and death came last Saturday. The funeral was held yesterday aft ernoon from her home, the services be ing in charge of the Rev. Dr. Edwin Pyles, pastor of the Fifth Street Meth odist church, of which she was for many years a member. Burial was in East Harrisburg cemetery beside her hus band, U. B.
