NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-The funeral of
MIR. Weed took place this morning.
Private services were held at his late
residence, Reys. DIS. Hall, Paxton and
Spencer officiating. At the conclusion
of the services the funeral cortege was
formed and proceeded to the church,
which was filed with a congregation
composed of many prominent citizens
and we'll known persons from the inte-
rior. Miss Harriet Weed was too i'll
to leave the house. Immediately after
the pail bearers and mourners were the
attaches of the household and then the
friends of the family The funeral par

THE SERVICES AT THE CHURCH.
At 1910 the procession arrived from
the house, the clergy walking first into
the church, followed by the pail bearers
and by men carrying the coffin, which
was covered with black velvet and borne
high upon their shoulders. The mem
bers OF the family came next and then
the friends who had attended the servi-
ces at the house A delegation of
fifty members of the press
club brought up the rear. As
they passed up the central aisle the choir
sang Last COL-
fin was placed in front of the pulpit and
the pali-bearers and mourners took the
seats reserved for them. By this time
the church was so crowded, in the gal
leries as well as ON the main floor, that
a large number of persons who came to
attend the services we're unable TO gain
admittance. All the aisles and
passages were flied with per-
sons standing, including many ladies.
Rev. DR.. Paxton opened the services by
reading, passages of Scripture, after
which the Quartette choir of the church
sang, ABIDE with Me-" DR.. John Hall
then spoke briefly of Mr.. Weeds long
life of influence and the peaceful even
ing rest and quietness which had been
granted him. The choir then sang,

benediction.

Reported Ending of the RAILROAD War

Reported Ending of the Railroad War.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.--Mr. Marvin
Hughltt, general manager OF the Chica-
go and Northwestern Railroad Co., in
conversation late this afternoon said
that there was absolutely no business
transacted at the meeting of the executive
committee to-day except that of
going through the mere
form of declaring the result of
dividends. He had not been advised as
yet from Chicago of the last cut in
rates, but tie North Western road stood
ready to meet all reductions as they
came. There has been no conference
to-day, he said, concerning the railway
war and no meeting had been called
for the future that he
knew of. s'This war must
of course have termination" said Mr..
Hughitt, "but how soon it will come I
cannot say. All l can state tonight is
that we are one day nearer settlement"
The strength of stocks at the close was
due to a report, freely circulated in the
stock exchange, that the railway troubles
have been adjusted.

LAND DECISIONS.
Kansas to Receive $685. 900 on Account
Indian Lands.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The commits
sioner of the general land Office has de-
termined 10 Iut in an account in favor of
Kansas to be submitted to first comp
troller OF the treasury for per ct. of the
net proceeds of the sales ofthe Pottawato-
mic Indian lands at the date of Kansas
admission into the union, and has reject
ed a..similar claim of the state for five per
cert of the proceeds of the sales of OF
toe and Missouri KickapoOs, Sac and
Fox aud Delaware Indian reservations.
The decision is in accordance with the
opinion of First Comptroller Porter,
given in 1880. The state will receive
about $50, goo from the sale of the Pot
tawatomie lands. Commissioner
Mcfarland informs ex-soldiers
that when they file declaratory state
ment they must make actual entry of
land, and also establish their residence
and commence improvements within six
months of the date of filing, and that
they are not allowed six months more
within which to commence a residence
and improvement, as has been advised
by land agents.

REVENUE AND TARIFF.

There is some danger that the pOpu-
lar expression for reduction of taxes
may be used by high protectionists
to the benefit Of their theories. There
is no doubt but that the tariff should be
reduced, and on many of the necessaries
of life removed entirely. Such men as
Kelley and Randall, of Pennsylvania,
and others of their school of protection
lists backed by influential eastern papers
are clamoring for the repeal of all inter
nal revenue taxes, but they do not want
the tariff touched. If they can succeed
in abolishing the internal revenue de-
partment entirely, il will be necessary
TO continue the present tariff in order
to MAINTAIN the expenses of the govern
ment. The internal revenue yielded in
the fiscal year 1881 $135. 600. 900,
all but twelve millions of which
were derived from the tax
on liquors, beer, and tobacco, things
which may be regarded as luxuries, and
which are proper to bear taxation:

Flavor or the Mind. .

There is no more interesting spectacle
than to see the efforts of wit upon the
different characters of men than to OBJ
serve it expanding caution, relaxing dig
nifty, unfreezing GOODNESS, teaching age
and care and pain to smile, exorting
reluctant CLEANS of pleasure from melan-
choliy and charming even the pangs of
grief. 1t is pleasant to observe how it
penetrates through the GOODNESS and
awkwardness of society, gradually bring
ing men nearer together, and, like the
combined force of wine and oil, giving
every man a glad heart and q shining
countenance. Genuine and innocent wit
like this is surely the flavor of the mind.
Man could direct his ways by plain rea-
son. and support his life by tasteless
food; but God has given us wit, and fla
vor and brightness and laughter and
perfumes to enliven the days of mans
pilgrimage, and to ''charm" the painted
steps over the burning marl.-( -(Sidney

Che Game OF Rhymes.

The game of rhymes may be made
quite amusing if the company of young
folks who play it exercise ingenuity.
One of the company thinks of word
rhyming with another word which he
mentions. The aim of the party is to
guess what the word thought of can be.
The rule is that no one should give a
name to what they guess, but describe it
instead, and each of the company in
turn is entitled to question. Suppose
the word thought of is ''bag," rhyming
with .'tag," then the question should be
put as follows:
SIS it necessary part of a bootlace?'
"No, it is not a tag"
'Is it the name of a horse2"
"No, it is not nag"
'Is it the name of a ioker?"
''No, it is not wag."
SIS it the name of an elegant horned
animal ?'
"No, it is not stag"
SIS it the stars and stripes?"
mo, it is not flag"
.Is it good to go to mill with?''
"Yes, it is bag"

The story Of a Hat.

Poor Philip Vanderdonki ALI his life
he had toiled, and saved, scraped, and
pulled every string that had a dollar at
the end of it. And now all his heard
earned wealth was gone ,and a great, hate
full, interest-eating mortgage spread its
black wings over all that he owned and
loved on earth. He sank into chair,
and folding his arms upon the table be-
fore him, bowed his gray head upon
them, and groaned great groans from

seemDd breaking.

his wife, stealing softly to his side.

sold the wood-lot"
"And did you have to mortgage the
town house, too?" she asked, with quiv-
ering lips and glistening eyes.
"Oh, yes,' said the man, in hollow
tones. "Oh, yes, and all my stock in the
railroad, and hypothecated what I had in
grain"
"And was 1t enough?" she asked,
trembling with eagerness. ''Was it
enough?"
mot quite, he growled; and then he
saw the CHASTITY pallor of disappointment
spread over her face, he added, "but the
milliner let me have it on ninety days
time for the balance, as eight per cent.
"And you've brought my new hat
home, then2" she earoled, joyously.

wonderful curative powers of his Rheumatic Neu-

given by well known parties in midst, and never
relies on far off and unknown individuals as SUD-
porting what he claims to be true of his Rheumatic
NeutraIizer that is it will any of Rheuma-

DEFINITION RHEUMATISM.
If you have thorn or splinter in your finger and
you put on Chloroform, some other drug, you
stop the seDsibility of pain for time only. The
thorn is still there and ss the effect of the
drug dies away the pain returns In order to get rid
of the pain you must have that thorn plucked out
the flesh. That is precisely the same way with
rheumatism; you might rub on the skin some drug
to stop the pain for little time, but the pain is
sure to return soon the effect of the drug dies
away. Now it has been proven beyond the slightest
doubt that Rheumatism is in the deepest Channels
Of the Blood and that there is other way to reach
1t only through the Blood. This has been demon
strated right here in Portland by dozens of people
that have been cured by DR.. Henley's Rheumatic
Neutraizer. That 1t is the only Medicine that has
Ever Reached the case and made Lasting and Per-
maneut Cures. In fact the only true principal for
Eradicating Rheumatism from the system is through
the Blood. 1t is pack of nonsense to attempt any
other method that is, If you would wish Perma-
