On tomorrow,Sunday,evening, Atlan ta Camp,No. 159, United Confederate Veterans, wiH hold memorial services in the First Presbyterian church, on Marietta street. A larger number have died in the last rw than in any pre vious year. The percentage is very much greater, beoause the number from which these have been taken is smaller than ever before. It is very noticeable how rapidly our comrades are dropping away from us, as the march of life goes on. Time is making heavy drafts on the ranks of our veterans. In oar roll of the dead for this year are many of our prominent citizens. The roll is as follows: Dr. W. A. Lore, Capt. John Mil ledge, Sanford M. Powell, Dr. K. C. Divine, Henry R. Powers, G. W. Hawkins, Jas. W. Loyd, Gen. W. S. Walker, Col. R. F. Maddox, Capt. W. A. Russel], Major J. C. Courtney,Capt. J. G. Russell,Co’.Geo. W. Adair, W. W. Grant, H. C. Fair man, J. M. Osborn. Several of these veterans have died very recently. We wonder who may be the next to be taken off? They go as our details of videttes. They fall as our advance pickets along the line. The' number is getting smaller, and there can never be any recruits to this army of brave and dy ing generation of veterans. As Confederate veterans they have never had any predecessors and can never *"■ Kb.on'all "will be gone to join the lists of the great and silent majority.

I LIFE ABOARD THE OLYMPIA. | Fhz Routine /Idmiral DeWcy's Flagship From the Bugles J?eVeillc to pipedoWrt. dK § JACK AT WORK AND AT PLAY. 8 New Yobk City (Special).—The life of the sailors aboard Admiral Dewey’s flagship, the cruiser Olympia, is a duplicate of the routine peculiar to every other boat in the United States Navy. The discipline has not been relaxed because the jack tars ac quitted themselves so well at Manila. On the contrary, an extra effort is made by Hie crew to hold by good be havior in peace the laurels they won in time of war. The men-o’-war’s men of the Olympia are feted and petted while ashore, but once under the Ad miral's eye they return to the stern realities of life on the ocean wave. It is not a very fascinating or wildly hilarious life that of the man forward on board a modern warship. There is a monotony and sameness of things that eat into the heart at times, and it is only the excitement caused by a wreck or a storm or a series of battles like that recently experienced that lends a welcome air of diversion to the naval day. To rise at 5.30 to the harsh notes of a bugle and drum is the or der, except during the few winter months, when a half hour’s grace Jis permitted. The “musics,” as the marine drummers aud buglars are called, are summoned ten minutes be fore time by the corporal of the guard. The two lads, rubbing the sleep from their eyes, take their stand near the forward hatch, and, at the word from the officer of the deck, break into the stillness of the early morning with an infernal hubbub technically known as “reveille.” The hideous uproar speed ily brings a chorus of grunts and —BUM* * wwa HoW WwMfi WRITING HOME. (Oa board the flagship Olympia.) yawns, not unmixed with something stronger, from the occupants of the hammock-crowded berth deck, and presently the ladder leading above is thronged with half-clad figures mount ing upward in a ghostly procession. Each figure carries upon his shoulder his individual hammock, carefully lashed and fettered. This he de posits in the receptacles prepared for the purpose and then hies himself to his mess, where he finds steaming cof fee without milk and barely sweetened, but extremely welcome as an eye opener. The spotlessly clean desks of naval vessels are proverbial. This cleanli ness, which seemed novel even to royal eyes, is the result of hours of hard, constant work every morning on board every ship in the service. It is to the executive officer that all praise or blame in reference to the condition of a ship belongs, and directly after the crew has had its early coffee he is on deck personally superintending the holystoning and scrubbing and per haps painting. Herelieves the officer of the deck, who goes below for a light lunch, and then sees that the boat swain’s mates and the captains of the different parts of the ship distribute their men to the best advantage. If it be wash day the crew is allowed to at tend to its laundry work before the scrubbing begins, for,be it understood, there are no “Hop Lees” or colored women in the naval service. A/ A X THE FENCING DRILL. It is seldom that the ship’s cook, who has the exclusive privilege to make and sell dried apple pies at twenty-five cents a pie, aud the ship's barber, who pursues his tonsorial art at the rate of $1 each quarter for every man on his books, scrub their own clothing. They are rich enough to hire a needy landsman or coal passer to do it for them. As the sailor’s outfit consists solely of cloth or white duck trousers, flan nel inside and outside shirts and the ordinary cotton hose, the operation of washing does not call for skill or prep aration. For instance, if the article to be renovated is the flannel shirt, Jack selects a clear part of the deck, AT MESS ON BOARD THE OLYMPIA. sprinkles a little water upon the spot, then spreads his shirt, previously soaked, upon the deck. Then with salt water soap and a scrubbing brush he sets to work. A subsequent rinsing completes the task and the garment is fastened with bits of twine to the clothesline stretched from mast to mast. Holystoning decks and scrubbing ladders and gratings with sand and canvas continues until ten minutes of 8 o’clock, when the call to “spread mess gear” is sounded by the boat swain’s mate on watch. This is also the signal to clean up, and each jackie grabs a deck bucket, gets his share of fresh water from the captain of his part of the ship, and makes his toilet, which, if not elaborate, amply suffices for his n.rstevwSf After the vasihing, the sailor’s toilet consists of la vigorous rubbing with a coarse towel—iris own private property—and a hair brushing with the aid of an ancient brush and a small wooden-framed glass generally carried ,ft'?4 if THE BARBER’S CHAIB ON THE OLYMPIA, in the little chest, or ditty box, which is the officially approved trunk of each jackie. At the stroke of eight bells, 8 .o’clock, the call to breakfast is given. Salty air aud an open, free life pro duce excellent appetites, and there is no dawdling in the race for the mess tables on the berth deck. Breakfast over, the men have until 9 to smoke, then all hands are turned to and the ship is cleaned up for quar ters. This latter ceremony is con ducted daily, rain or shine. During week days the morning hours «are generally devoted to drill. A settled schedule is made out when the ship goes into commission, and this is strictly adhered to. Each ship has its general quarters, fire quarters, collision drill, abaudon ship, arm and away boats, broadsword exercise, or something of similar character, and from 9.30 until noon the decks are alive with men under instruction. Dinner is followed by a short rest, aud at 1 o’clock “turn to” is sounded again. During the afternoon five days of the week the crew is kept at work attending to the multifarious duties of the ship. Saturday after noon is considered a half holiday, the smoking lamp is lighted, and if the ship is in port the men are allowed to see visitors and enjoy themselves ac cording to their individual inclina tions. With mess-gear in the early evening, the working day ends. 1 Sup per is followed by a period of re laxation until the mellow notes of the bugle sound taps, and the boatswain’s mate’s whistle echoes through the decks in the last call of the day— “pipe down.” There are many other incidents which go to make up the naval day. At sea, when the ship’s company is divided into watches, the monotony is greater than in port. It is during the latter time, with the fleet atanchoroff some friendly city, or when the ship is tied up to a dock in one of the home navy yards, that Jack finds his hours filled with variety and pleasures suffi cient to satisfy even his desires. It ’ ~7 raSsiH ff I Wo V \ '/ I I CHAPLAIN HEANEY, OF THE OLYMPIA, is then the liberty list—a potent term in the navy—is made out. To dis- | cover one’s name on the liberty list ' means shore with its fascinating at- ' tractions, aud if there is anything on | this footstool the average sailor loves ’ it is to “hit the beach” with a few' dollars in his pocket. Sunday is, as far as possible, kept as a day of rest. After the morning scrub and inspection comes service by the chaplain. The old rhyme of Six daj's shalt thou labor aud do all that thou art able; On the seventh, holystone thejleeks and scour the cable, Is no longer appropriate, since all labor, except what is absolutely neces sary, is dispensed with. To attend divine service, dressed in their best, is the one extra duty re- I quired of the men, and the afternoon is practically free until sundown. ' Chaplain Reaney, of the Olympia, is one of the most popular men aboard, 1 and the men confide in him to an ex- I tent that is remarkable.
