The funerals of Congressman who die at
their posts of duty are expensive luxuries.
Last year the Government Treasury was
mulcted $l3,366 on this account. The flu
neral of Gustave Schleichler, of Texas, cost
$5,l02, of which 1913 so was expended for
gloves and silk scarfs at 50 each for the dele
cation. The cost of the funeral of A. S.
Williams was 81 ,449 of T. j. Quinn, $452;
Of Rush Clark, 1884; of B. B. Douglas,
Sl,O4l, and OF Julian Hartridge, Of Geor-
gia, S2,686. The itemized account of the
expenses Of Mr.. Hartridge's funeral show
the manner in which funeral delegations spend
the Governments money. The railroad
tickets cost S709.50, and $3.50 were added for
q special car The bill for carriages was
1888. Before starting on the trip, appar-
emily. an elaborate lunch was provided, and
afterwarda dinner. The dinner cost SIS
but the cost Of the lunch was $40 90; S48. 40
Of this. sum was used at a dining saloon
which contains bar, and $3.50 (which is
specially set down as lunch" at liquor
saloon which does not furnish meals. But
the funeral baked meats are not the heaviest
item. The public printer states that the
printing Of the eulogies to deceased members
has coat TO date $4,000 and there are several
more to hear from.

UHIEF yICTORIo KILLED.

El Paso, Texas, Oct. 20.-The
pleasing intelligence reached here
to-day that the famous Indian chief,
Victorio, VINO has been such a ter.
tor to the people of Northwestern
Texas and Old Mexico for the past
fifteen months, has at last been
killed, and the most of his band
either killed or captured.
There is great rejoicing here over
this news, which is not surprising,
considering that within the past
year Nictorio and his Indians have
murdered upwards of 400 persons,
aud cost the citizens of this State
and New Mexico hundreds of thou
sands in money aud stock. Al
though our troops were not in the
killing, they are nevertheless euti-
tied to credit for bringing about
through their energy, perseverance,
and bravery this happy final result.
