Funeral Of Lr. John Her6.

The reporter of the LIGHT visited the house
Of the deceased prior to the funeral and on
arrival found large company assembled out
side. Wending our way through the crowd,
we came to the front room, wherein the body
lay. The apartment had been tastefully deco
rated by loving hands. At the windows were
alternately white end blackcurains; the book
case was draped with black and white; the So
"a had q white cover, decorated with black va
lance; the mantlepiece was also draped with
black, and the fireplace was concealed with a
black board having white flowers in the cor
ner, and wreath of the same color. Flow;
ers, wreaths, and various green ornaments
were also spread around. In the centre, sup
ported upon ornamental pedestals, lay the cot
fin in which the body was enclosed. It was
a patent metal coffin, japaned and ornamented
with silver fittings, was very handsome, and
was covered with Aowers,-the tributes Of
friends. The lid was opeu-faced, and, as we
passed by, we saw the face of cur dead friend;
and, except that his features were set, it looked
as though he lay calmly asleep in his snowy
bed. BY his side sat the bereaved widow in her
agonizing grief, and near her was
the father, evidently in deep sorrow. Around
the room we noticed many Of the relatives Of
the dead. ishotly before the body was re-
moved all were excluded, and then the wife
took sad farewell of her loved one.
IT,: u a. totl,ar <vaptIv drovy hsr from,
the room, which she left reluctantly. The
other relatives took their last look at the dead,
and Mr.. Roemer proceeded to screw down the
lid. Bishop Elliott then entered the room in
full canonicles, and read the greater part OF
the funeral service, after'which eight relatives
and friends bore the body to the handsome
hearse provided for its reception. The Wis
itors then dispersed, some getting in their sew
eral carriages, others going on foot, on to the
cemetery or to their various duties. The
mournful cortege passed on to the cemetery,
xhere Bishop Elliot read the remaining par:
Of the service. The coffin was then lowered,
flowers were dropped on the grave, friends
took their last look into the grave, and then in
silent sorrow passed to their several homes,
leaving their dead alone with God. 49,. !,
The attendance both at the house and at the
grave was very large.
The arrangements of the funeral, which
were admirable. were conducted by Phil. Del,
assisted by Mr. Rcemer. iaaE
The family of Herff and Kampmann, who
are most affected by this sad loss, are known
and respected by the entire city, and uniser-
sal sympathy is expressed for them. The
LIGHT offers to them their sincere condolences

"The people of England would view
with serious apprehension any further

"a joint Anglo French military inter-

filled, and all the standing room in the
aisles and about the doors was occu-

vicinity thought the gallery was giving

women and children poured out of the
doors leading from the main floor and
and galleries into the street, all efforts
to stop them being Ruthless. The peo-
pie were frantic and would listento moth

The Presidents Movements.

Special Dispatch to the Globs-Democrat.
New York, December 29.-President Ar
thur was at home to-day, except for few
hours in the afternoon, when he went out to
make a call. Policeman Anderson marched
up and down in the rain in front of the presi-
dents house, having been assigned to special
patrol on the east side of Lexington avenue,
between Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth
streets, on days when the president is in town,
so as to be within call in case a dangerous
''crank" should attempt to force his way into
the house. ;

Funds were not wanting, and this was
the secret of the movement. Funds
are abundant just now. Between one
and two thousand pounds weekly are
great temptations to speculative minds,
where purses are small and habits are
expensive. Recent arrests have shown
where the leaders of the move
ment are to be found. You
must not go to any quiet street
or idence. 1t must be at
some grand, expensive hotel. Brandy
and billiards. Cigars and cards. I
do not say that these expenses come
out of the funds of the American Irish;
the balance sheet will one day declare
that When the cry is raised, "ireland
for the Irish,", suppose the Americans
were to retort "America for Americans"
and were to proceed to take the i'm
mense possessions of the sons of Erin
from them, what a state of things
would there be! see by the papers
that an Irlshman is the largest land
owner in the world-that is, he has got
what properly belongs to the poor In
dams who have been driven from their
homes by Europeans. Let consistency
begin at the proper place."

A CURIOUS PERFORMANCE.

About a week ago Colonel
Shaw, editor Of the Enterprise,
addressed a confidential circular
to members of the journalistic
profession relative to the Reek-
Anderson case. The purpose of
the author Of the circular was
simply to have newspaper men
combine and render such assist
ance IN the matter as would re-
suit in securing all the evidence
possible in the case. It was
such a circular as, while contain
ing nothing which any man
might not read, was intended for
the eye of newspaper men alone.
1t was not to be supposed that a
single paper in the State would
violate the rule Of etiquette to
publish a circular upon the
margin Of which the word econ
fidentiap' was printed. The
rule was violated, however, and
by the Eureka Sentinel.

QUEER GROUNDS.

the $4,000 suit brought
against Beecher by his publish
ers was dismissed on peculiar
grounds. Beccher when put on
the stand swore that he did not
remember having made any
contract; might have made one,
but if he did it left no impress
sion on his mind. His counsel
then called the attention of the
Court to the fact that no evil
dence had yet been introduced
to show that the publication of
several thousand copies of the
first volume cost the publishers
anything. This last suggestion
threw new light on the case and
the suit was dismissed. The
probabilities are that the print
ers who set up the book and the
men who furnished the paper
and covers donated their ser
vices and material to help along
the good work of allowing
Beecher to give his personal
endorsement of Christ and his
methods of reforming the world.

Every Republican should see
that his ballot goes into the box
to-day for the regular Republi-
can nominee for County Clerk,
Dean Hatch. 1t is a clean party
issue to be discussed. Hatch
should have the full vote of his
party and win by at least ESQ
majority. 1t is not probable,
however, that a full vote will be
polled, as in special election,
where the contest lies between
two men, there seldom is. The
apathy which the Fusionists
and Democrats would have US
believe is existing in their ranks
is only a blind, and Republicans
should not be carried away with
the idea that Hatch has a walk
over. Every Republican should
take as much interest in to-day's
election as at the general election
and see that his own and every
other Republican vote goes in.
The election Of Hatch would be
a fitting sequel to the victory
won on the It'll.

From Lincoln 10 the main line OF the

ex.Gov. St. John, the temperance reform
Governor Of Kansas, letter in which be
gives his views oi the issues in the present

Tucker has obtained permission 10 publish
the letter, which was written from Topeka
under date OF August IL, and is as follows:
Isdac ". Tucker, Columbus, O.:
My DEAR SlR-Iour letter Of the 9th
inst, has just been received. Owing 10 the
TACT that we are Just now commencing the
Republican campaign here in Kansas, 1t
viii be impossible for me to come to ihe
State Of Ohio during the present season;
otherwise l would gladly do so. II seems
that there is no reason for the friends Of
temperance in Ohio to withhold their earn.
est support from the Republican party OF
Ohio. The fact is rapidly developing that
the Republican party OF this country is to
be the great party Of morality and good
government, against the Democratic party
that seems welded TO the great
cause Of free whisky; especially
is this the case in the North.
ern States. The Republican Stale Con.
vention OF Kansas, on the 10Th inst, by
almost unanimous vote, strongly indotsed
the principle OF prohibition as applied to
the manufacture and sale OF intoxicating
liquors as q beverage. The issuebefore the
people Of the country to-day il simply
whether we shall protect the homes Of the
people against the aggressions of the
whisky ring, or let towards surrender the
government to the contro. OF the brewers,
distillers, and saloon keepers. For my
part l am Of the opinion that the time hus
come when we should meet the
question boldly and irarlessly, and open
a battle Of ballots that shall not
cease until the lust dramshop in this coun.
try shall be closed forever. The Republi.
cans Of Ohio have no reason to fear the
result il they will only make brave,
honest, and aggressive fight. In such
struggle you will have with you every citi.
zen who thinks more Of his home than he
does Of the dramshop. In other words.
you will have morality, law and order, and
God Almighty Oh your side, against
drunkenness, rowdyism, Sabbath break
ing, profanity, and the devil on the other.
There tan be no doubt Of the result-let
the battle begin. Very truly, your friend,
