ROMAN FUNERAL SERVICE

BILE in ancient Rome that they an
pear to have been introduced into
funerals to mimic the person and
even the language of the deceased.
LuctOniuS describes one OF these
actors as accompanying the funeral
OF VespaSian, the tenth emperor of
Rome. The emperor's love of money
was most inmOderate, and though
in his later years he distributed
gifts with Il more liberal hand. he
could not wipe off the diSrepute of
his former stingineSs. '.At his fine
rail-" says the historian. Favo, the
principal mimic, personating the
emperor, and initiating both his
manner 0fspeakinga and his gestures,
asked alond OF the procurators how
much his funeral and Procession
would cost: and, being answered
ten million of serterces, he cried out
that, if they would give him but a
hundred thousand, they might throw
his body into the Tiber."

INDIGNANT FEELING IN New York
OVER THE VIRGINIUs MuRDER-Five
persons visited the navy yard at New
York on Saturday, many Of them being
in search Of work, not taking into account
those who were there for purely personal
motives The officers of the yard say no
time since the war has the public evinced
such interest in the affairs of the navy
yard. No secret is made Of the fact
that orders have been received from
Washington to peparc all available vessels
in the yard for active service as soon as
possible, and well informed parties say
orders have been received to prepare for
sea at once every vessel in the United
States navy. The frigates Colorado and
Minnesota, each carrying so guns will be
ready for sea within twenty-five days.
Capt. Ransom does not believe there is a
vessel in our navy competent to contend
with the Spanish irga;c Arapales, but
believes one of our monitors can put a
shot clean through her and disable her
machinery.
At the Hotels and clubs the Cuban
difficulties, and the complications almost
certain to arise from it, for the universal
subject of conversation it is generally
conceded that unless the Madrid govern
ment consents to a joint Intervention in
order to restore tranquility 10 Cuba and
punish the perpetrators Of the recent
outrage, war with Spain is inevitable.
A majority of the speakers are unanimous
in expressing their belief that everything
will be done to uphold the national rep.
utation. The secretary of war, who was
in this city yesterday, is reported to have
said to an intimate friend who called on
him; You are aware that | have been

held yesterday we were a unit, and if the

the measures resolved upon at that meet

must be hard to please.

AN IMMORAL AND RuINous DooTRIN

AN IMMORAL AND RUINoUs DOCTRINE.
The most immoral doctrine preached in
these days is that paper is money, and
that its increase is the increase of wealth.
1t is the parent of speculation and OF
every sort Of rascality. We are suffering
from it bitterly now. We shall suffer
still more if we do not put it away,
For the inevitable end of it is not only
the ruin of all private enterprise, and the
starvation of people who depend upon a
steady employment and steady pay, but
it is the bankruptcy of the govern nept
itself. If Mr. Butler in his sentiments
and intelligence represents a majority Of
Congress about to meet, Heaven help
