 The funeral of deceased member of the City Guard, Richard Elsner, took place yes terday afternoon at o'clock. The deceased was buried from the State Hospital, where he had been gradually failing with consumption for six months past. He had no relatives here and came from Germany to this coun- try about eight years ago. He was single man, aged 2s. His company, the City Guard, were much attached to him. He was a we'll educated man and ingenious, and was last employed in the work of taxidermist at the Peabody Museum. That was twa years ago. since which time his health had been gradu- ally failing The City Guards, Capt. Tiesing, turned out nearly 60 men headed by the American Band, also a large party of veterans of the company headed by Lieut. Kaehrle, and paid the last sad tribute of re- spect Many spectators were out for hot day like yesterday. The burial was in Ever green Cemetery, and MT. Frisch rendered the services at the grave, speaking in praise of the deceased as young man of generous, lovable, unselfsh spirit and of the kind atten- tion paid to his memory by his comrades of the Guards, also adding other appropriate words. The company arrived back at their armory at about five o'clock, the members nearly drenched with precipitation owing to the warmth of the sun. The whole expense of the funeral and the main expense of the deceased at the hospital were borne by the City Guards

SPANS Arrogance.

From the Boston Herald
If we ever get into foreign war, the
chances are all in favor of our having
Spain as our opponent. The officials of
chat country are all the time giving us
reason, if we were not very peaceful in our
feelings, to declare war. If we wanted
Cuba, we have had dozen prctexts
offered US for taking it; but we have not
the least desire to cucumber ourselves
with the management of the uncomtOrta-
ble people who inhabit the ever.faithiul
isle. II is not our fault that the Cubans
are all the time declaring that they will
submit to the Spanish rule no longer; and,
when they do get up one Of their monthly
instructions, we are put to no little trou-
ble to see that our laws about assisting
rebels against the government Of friendly
power are enforced. And all this bother
is occasioned because, for years past, if
ever, Spain has not understood how to
manage this colony. But what thanks do
we get for our consideration Not even
q graceful acknowledgment. Instead of
this, If one Of our merchant vessels hap

it would be somewhat humiliating to get
into a quarrel with such d poor little
power as Spain, we should have the dis
advantage that she is vastly better pre-

have her iron.clads in our harbors before

no reason why we should tamely swallow

A New Method of Curing Meat,

A new meat curing invention has Just
been patented by VIM. H. Scudder, of st.
Louis. 1t is powder, manipulated as
follows: The powder is burned in fur
mace and transformed into a gas. The
gas is conducted by pipe to an air tight
room. The moment the gas enters this
room the oxygen In the air within is ex-
PEELED, and, flowing through, or rather
rushing through, another pipe, is burned
in the furnace. The meat is hung in the
air tight room, and the oxygen in 1t is ex-
PEELED with the air. Hams, fish, fresh
beef and whole carcass of mutton have
been experimental on, and with perfect
success. When thus treated the meat may
be taken out and hung anywhere for any
length Of time, but will not decay, and is
fit to be eaten at any time. Weeks have
elapsed and still the meat has not been
spoiled. Salt is unnecessary, though it is
q curious fact that salt meat does not ap-
pear to be much acted upon by the process,
while fresh meat, when subjected to it,
"takes salt, If applied like a sieve" AT
this stage, however, salt does not act as
preservative, but simply as a seasoning.
Green hides treated with it are trans.
formed into odorless flint hides, and if it
is all that is represented, the secret of en-
balming the dead has been discovered.

Tie Story of "a Pretty Cincinnati Girls
Disgrace and Ruin,


Disgrace and Ruin.
From the kansas City Journal, June 2ith.
A sad case, involving the publishing Of
a young girls ruin, was brought to light
yesterday, and forms one OF those chapters
in city life which are not rare, and yet sell
dom appear to the public.
The story was discovered by the return
to her parents OF beautiful young Jcwess.
Her name is Kitty Solomon, and her home
is in Cincinnati, where her father is the
wealthy proprietor Of large clothing
store. The history Of the ruin of the young
girl was carefully concealed by family
friends in this city, but the main facts
are as follows:
Kitty and Il young man of good family,
who bears the name Of Charles AverilI,
were near ncighbors in Cincinnati. The
unfortunate girl loved Averill, it seems,
not wisely, but too well. Kitty's father
did net allow his daughter to receive
Avenl's attentions, but like the majority
Of lovers, parental opposition only famed
the fame. Finally, he proposed that they
should elope, and the girl consented.
They came to Kansas City and took lodg.
ings on Main street, near Tenth, imme-
diatcly over Hatch & plum's undertaking
rooms. Here they lived as man and wife,
although the marriage ceremony was dis
pensed with. The beautiful and dainty
girl attracted much attention from those
who had occasion to do business with the
couple, but the true state of affairs were
known to but few.
After the elopement, the distracted
parents could find no trace of their erring
daughter for quite while, until Averill
indiscreetly wrote to u friend that Kitty
was living with him as This woman, and
that he was going to keep her." The
parents heard Of it and wrote to Chief
Speers, who instituted search, hut was
unable to find the guilty couple. Yester'
day, through the agency of family friends,
she was discovered, and persuaded to re-
turn home. She determined not to at first,
but finally went to the depot and was
placed on st. L., G. e Northern train,
in charge off st. Louis detective, who was
paid TO see her through. Averill followed
her to the depot, and, standing outside,
did the Romeo and Juliet balcony scene to
the edi6cation of large crowd, the young
girl leaning from the car window and
talking in an earnest tone.
The train pulled out leaving Averill
behind, but it is believed he will follow
lnr soon. To day the girl will be restored
to her parents, who will, no doubt, here
after keep her more securely.

More than building snowy Mansions,
More than drc's and fine array;
More than domes and lofty steoplcs,
More than station, power and sway,
Make your home both neat and tasteful,
Bright aud pleasant, always fair,
Where each heart shall rest cIntentcd,
Grateful to each pleasure there,
Seek to make your home most lovely,
Let it be smiling spot,
Where, in sweet contontment resting,
Care and sorrow are forgot,
Where the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds will sing their sweetest song;
Where the purcst thoughts will linger,
Confidence and love belong.
There each heart will rest contcnted,
Seldom wishing far TO roam,
Or il roaming, still will eyer
Cherish happy thoughts of home.
Such home makes men the better,
Sure and lasting the control,
Home with pure and bright surrounding
Leaves its impress on the soul.
