1T Is ALL RIGHT

Fu1eral OF Jerry MeCauley, the Reformed
Convict and Missionary, in New York
ASpontSneous Tribute From Those Whose
Welfare He Sought to Promote.
NTw YORK, September ..
On dark back ground few white
flowers spelled out the simple yet touch
ing story of Jerry McCauIey's death
F., with cit Is All Right" So also said the
preacher at the Broadway Tabernacle
yesterday, ard the great crowd that
looked into the face of the dead mis-
sionary repeated; "It is all right"
The funeral services were announced for
2:30 O'Clock. Long before that hour
every seat in the large church was filled,
and a squad of six policemen barred the
doors. But still the crowds poured into
the church on Sixth avenue, at the cor
ner of Thirty-fourth street, and, by
the time the pastor rose to
speak, there was another congrega-
ton outside the church trying to get in.
Every doorway was tried, the eager
visitors pushing their way into private
entrances, and filing every available

vices TO find the way completely blocked.
In vain she pleaded that some one must
give way; that she must get in, or the ex-
erciscs could not go on. The crowd was
too great to be forced outside, and with
tears in her eyes she turned away. But
the admirers of the eX-convict and mis-
sionary continued to pour into the street,
and at three O'Clock the police kept guard
over the Sixth avenue car tracks,
so that the cars might not be blocked.
Many grew tired and left, but their places
we've soon filed by others standing Idly,
patiently waiting for a glimpse of the man
they had learned to love. 1t was a het-
srogenous a.semblage that fingered
about The church. Here were old women,
wrinkled and scanned, who had known

touching their elbows were young men
who had learned to live since meeting
the earnest missionary. Here and there
through the crowd the painted face OF
the scarlet woman showed itself, and by
her side pushed the younS shop-girl who
had been saved from temptation by the
man who lay in his coffin inside. The

oVertoppcd the straw hats OF few
homeless tramps who had known Jerry
from childhood. For over two hours the
crowd waited, and then few stragglers
from the church announced that services

almost as many people as the pews, and
when DR.. Taylor, pastor Of the church,
rose to speak, he looked iBto the faces OF
1900 worshipers. The pastor referred
briefly to his long acquaintance with Mr..
McCauley, and said that during ali these
years he had never known the dead mis-
sioHary to do an unchristian act.

! cate of British Purchasers-One OF the
! Largest Sales on Record.
MONTEREY. MEx., September -.
| La RiriStI chronicles the conclusion OF
| probably the largest sale of lands ever
made to private purchasers on this CONT
nent. The lands in question are situated
in northern Mexico, and were purchased
| by syndicate of English and Scotch gen.
! tlemen named Mcpherson, Grant and
Jno. Dazell. Although the price paid
was only 100000 down, yet the area
of country sold was larger than some OF
the New England States. The possess
sions are situated in the States of Chi
huahua and Durango. The title of the
lands was perhaps
TIE MOST ANCIENT
of any upon the American continent.
This was the first transfer that had been
made in 200 years. Longer ago than that
the King of Spain conveyed this tract of
country to the ancestry of Don Antonio
Ansuusala, where it had remained and
descended from generation ts generation
until the present time. More than l,00G
people, as tenents, are living upon their
sol, growing corn and coffee and wheat
in the villages, and sheep and cattle in
the mountains. The lands were bonded
over TWO years ago TO Colonel j. Z. Law
son, of Colorado, who paid 500, 900 for
three years bondment.
TIKI STIPULATED PRICE
of the land Is 100000, an additional
million to be invested in cattle, blooded
horses and agricultural! implements. One
half of this additional million has already
arrived from London, and is now depos-
tied in the City of Mexico and Chihuahua
to the credit of the fscal agent of the sym
dictate. The estate consists of tSo i'm
meDSc ranches Sub-divjGed into six
contiguous hacieRdas, upon each of
which there is village with an organ
iZed municipal governments Two-thirdS
o. the estate lies within the southern
Boundary OF the State OF chihuahua; the
remsining third in Durango. The area
embraced 10y these properties is twenty
seven Spanish leagues in = length by an
average wild Ii u nine leagues, or an
equivalent in English measure of seven
ty by twenty-three miles, or ,Gl0 square
miles. Large tracts of these lands are
UNDER CULTIVATION,
the crop consisting principally of Indian
corr, wheat, barley and Irish and sweet
potatoes. IN addition they are capable
Of grazing 100, COO head of cattle and
500, 00l sheep. Besides the above six
haciendas, the same syndicate has pur-
chased two other ranches adjacent, con-
tanning 500,000 acres. The deeds of
record show that there were also includ-
ed in this sale, for special stipulatlons
not gwen, $1,000 head of sheep, l,20O
b ad of unbroken horses, 600 saddle
horses, 500 broken mules, SO work oxen,
1900 hogs, 600 saddles and brides, and
500 sets of harness, together with i'm
mense quantities OF farming tools, many
of which are of ancient patterns.

OLEAN, n. Y, Sep; ember %.
The large Newfoundland dog Heck, be-
longing TO the st. Elmo Hotel, in the neigh
boriag town of E bred, Pa, was known
throughout the northern Gil fed Sor its
great strength and almost human tntel-
ligence. The porter of the hotel, a small
man, slept in L little back room of the
office and the dog slept in the office On
Sunday night the porter was very drunk
when he went TO bed and soon fell into a
heavy sleep. Sometime in the night he
was awakened bv the loud barking of
Heck, and it finally dawned on the be-
fuddled mind of the porter that the
HOUSE WAS on FIRE.
His room was full of smoke, and he could
hear the cracking of flames. He spraug
from his bed, but was still SO drunk that
he fell to the floor. The faithful dog at once
seized him by the coat collar and dragged
him out of the room and half way 10 the
other door of the office, when the man
succeeded in getting to his feet, and, I'M
locking the door, staggered into the
street. The fire was rapidly spreading
over the building, and the hotel was
filed with guests, rot one of whom had
been aroused. The dog no sooner
saw his helpless friend was safe
than he dashed back into ths
house and ran barking loudly upstairs.
He first stopped at the door Of his mas
ter'S room, where he EOwled aud
scratched at the door until the inmates
were made aware of the danger aud hur-
ried out of the house as there w6s no time
to lose. The dog gave the alarm ut every
