companying the string band and the singers was kindly loaned to the engineers by F. A. Winter, the well known music dealer of Altoona.

Some of the picnickers took long walks over the mountains, others wandered along Blair Creek, angling for trout, and others gave their attention to wild flowers, all getting the sunshine and the healthy exercise. At 4 o'clock the engine gave four whistles calling all in the vicinity of the train, and at 4:30 o'clock gave four

more whistles to get on board. At 5 o'clock the two big engines, bedecked with flags and hauling the long train, filled with merry picnickers, started on its return journey over the rest of the new Portage road around the side of old Pomroy Mountain to old Gallitzin, then down over the main line to Altoona, the train rolling into the station at 6 o'clock as the orchestra played "Home, Sweet Home."

The picnickers departed for their respective homes looking happy and fully satisfied, as they had spent a day of thorough enjoyment among the grand old mountains.

The complete success of the affair was due to the untiring efforts of the General Chairman, Bro. Wm. Cover and the following committees:

Entertainment and Amusement-A. E. Knepper, chairman; J. A. Lewis, E. A. McConnell, jr., Thos. E Kearn, G. B. Brewster.

Baskets-W. D. Long, J. W. Fluke, C. W. Bohn, Thos. Bertram, G. B. Brewster.

Reception-W. W. Brantlinger, W. B. Deitrick, Wm. E. Brooks, W. B. Stahl, John McNellis, P. H. Masterson, Frank Davis, W. W. Ross, H. C. Stonebraker.

The cars of the picnic train were in charge of the following named corps of conductors, who attended to the passengers in a most courteous manner: Car No. 1, J. M. Miller; No. 2, W. W. Ross; No. 3, R. Winebrenner; No. 4, D. A. Reagan; No. 5. Frank Davis; No. 6, Hayden A. Himstead; No. 7, E. A. McConnell ; No. 8, H. S. Stonebraker; No. 9. J. C. Rickle; No. 10, W. B. Stahl; No. II, A. E. Knepper; No. 12, J. A. Lewis.

BRO. ALBERT NASH, member of Division 18, Rochester, N. Y., whose picture accompanies this article, was born in Alstead, N. H., July 28, 1824, and started his railroad career in the fall of 1847 on the Cheshire road in New Hampshire, from Ashburnham to Bellows Falls, and was promoted in a year to the position of engineer; went to the Vermont Central and ran between Troy, N. Y., and Birmingham, Vt. When the Niagara Falls road opened up in 1852 he went to it with David Upton, M. M., whom he had fired for on the Cheshire road, and here Bro. Nash remained from 1852 until he retired from service in 1903, running an engine continuously for 52 years, and always with

the very best of record as an engineer. He was very averse to having his picture taken and the one from which this halftone was made was obtained on the sly with a kodak, and the only one known to be in existence. Bro. Nash's record is one very hard to beat, as his railroad life covers the greater part of the whole period of railroad construction, and all of the efforts through organization for bettering the conditions of men in railroad service.-Rochester Evening Journal.

MEMORIAL service of Div. 210, Macon, Ga., was held on Sunday, July 30, at the Auditorium, of which we glean the following from the Macon Telegraph:

The exercises passed off amid song and eulogy, and the large crowd in attendance was impressed by the services.

This was the first memorial exercise that has been held since 1887, and the roll of members that have died since that time numbers 48, and their memory was made fresh and green in the hearts of their brothers who gathered together to pay them this tribute.

Simpson Division, No. 210, wss formerly Division 80, and was at first chartered in 1873. In 1884 a new charter was granted W. T. Clarke, and the Division changed to Simpson, No. 210. This Divi

sion started out with a charter membership of 16, and today has a membership of 235 in good standing, and they are devoted to the interests of the order.

At the memorial services they marched in by twos and occupied the front seats, and enjoyed the entire services.

The music was splendid, the opening song, "Lord, When My Raptured Thought," being rendered by a quartette composed of Mrs. L. T. Stallings, Mrs. Richard Findlay, Mrs. James McCardie and Mr. W. S. Dunwoody. This was followed by a beautiful prayer by Rev. J. M. Glenn, who invoked the blessings of the Almighty upon the men who bravely stood at their posts of duty and cared for the lives of hundreds.

After the quartette sang "My Faith Looks Up to Thee," Mr. D. M. Moore, Chief of Simpson Div., No. 210, read out the death roll of members since 1887. Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee," was then sung by Mrs. Stallings and Mrs. Findlay, and Dr. W. N. Ainsworth began his sermon, taking for his text the 14th verse, 14th chapter of Job: "If a man die, shall he live again?"

Dr. Ainsworth prefaced his sermon with the remarks that had it not been for the fact that he entered the ministry, in all probability he would have been a locomotive engineer; his impulse from ea ly childhood was in that direction, but an allwise Providence that shapes the destinies of man decreed otherwise. His sermon was a eulogy upon the man who, at the throttle, holds the lives of hundreds in his hands, and unflinchingly and unfalteringly, forgetful of self, does his duty, even unto death. He mentioned instances of martyrdom where the railroad engineer had unse fishly given his life in the performance of what he conceived to be his duty and to protect those under his charge.

His entire discourse was a sincere and earnest tribute to the locomotive engineer and the pæan of praise was echoed in the hearts and mind of his hearers.

When the audience and quartette sang "Coronation," there was a swell of melody that filled the auditorium, which echoed "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," and the spirit of the congregation was prostrate in homage and reverence for those who were dead.

The services were concluded with a beautiful benediction for the dead, and upon the living by Rev. W. L. Walker.

Simpson Division, No. 210, B. of L. E., has a beauti.ul lot in Rose Hill cemetery, which is cared for and kept in order. Upon it are buried four of the Brotherhood, whose graves are looked after with all the care possible to bestow upon them.
