The friends of Will w. Lacy of Hop
kinsville. KY, will regret to learn of
his death at that place, after lingering
several weeks with typhoid pneumonia.

to practice his profession, when he
was stricken down with disease. He
was an affable and courteous, gentle
man, and during his temporary res

Of acquaintance, who held him in the
highest esteem.

PooahDntas Again,

/. History has, indeed, been rather
hard -ou the conventional heroes Of
romance The late NJ. Edourard Fornter
spent cynical life in upsetting figures
which uncriticaly chroniclcrs had set
up, and in showing that half the sharp
sayings attributed to celebrated men
were never used by them. The first
American romaneer has not been
spared eviseeration. In the parish reg
lister of Gravesand is an entry which
every year the good American" rev
erentially peruses. 1t relates how, in
"16l7 March 81, Rebecca Wrolfe,
wyffe of Thos. Wrolfe, gent, Vir-
ginia lady borne, was buried in the
cllancell." This of course refers to
the Princess Pocahontas, or Motoax-

numerous family of Powhattan, the
Indian Emperor of Virginia." who
saved the life Of the doughty Capt.
John Smith, married John-not

preceding her death was the sensation

reason for believing that he was

population remain faithful to the church, thew
also remain entirely submissive to the author

THE FUNDING BILL.
Mr.. Wood Confident of It's Passage

Mr. Wood Confident of It's Passage.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Fernando Wood does
not share the belief of many that the Three
Per Cent. Funding bill will not pass. Speak
ing on this general subject, he says II am
confident that the House will not be in a
temper to allow very tedious discussion for the
purpose of merely delaying the passage of the
bill 1t is my opinion that members are
generally inclined to dispose of the bill in
order to get it out of the way of other business
that is pressing" Mr.. Wood anticipated that
there may be some important amendments
added to the bill, and says that the principal
one. and the one which will probably lead to
the longest discussion is the one to limit the
period at the expiration of which the govern
ment shall enjoy the right to redeem the
bonds Many oppose waiving the right of re-
sumption for twenty years. Mr.. Wood says
that contrary to general report he is convinced
that Secretary Sherman favors the present
measure now pending in the House, and Mr.
Wood does not believe that there is a single
member of the House who is not opposed to
any refrnding who is not in favor of three
per cent. rate. Mr.. Wood does not anticipate
more than forty votes in opposition to the bill,
and thinks it can pass the House this week.
Mr. Levi p. Morton takes very different
view and says that three per cent. short bond
cannot be f1oated.
