Ii has been computed that 10000
600 Of the human race die every year,
and some satirist on his species has
made the further computation that not
more than one in a thousand does any

Numbering for year after he is gone.
While this view is perhaps pessimistic,
there are few things better calculated
to lower the self-csteem of the average
man than to notice how soon after men
of vminencc and ability have dropped
out of the worlds affairs for good their
names and memory perish, and their

A Baltimore special says: Miss An
ME NJ. Tewes, daughter of the late
Joseph Tewes, wealthy Catholic of
this city, died at her mothers residence
on Lombard street Sunday night, just
after making some very peculiar ar
rangements for her funeral. She re-
questcd that her remains be placed in a
casket covered with white satin and
trimmed with gold, and that eight of
her lady friends should act as pail
bearers, to be robed in white satin,
white-floral wrcaths, flowing wells, aud
each to carry lily. The funeral took
place Wednesday, and the service was
conducted by the two Catholic priests,
brothers Of the deceased lady, in the
presence Of several thousand people.
The wishes of the young girl were all
fulfilled. The female pall-bcarers were
Misses NJ. Heir, Eva Nagelgast, NJ.

he was the originator still lives. A
colony is organized at Wichita, Kan,
one at Cofieyville, and one at Hunewell'
w. l.. Couch. of Douglas, Kan. since
the death of Captain Payne, is the ac-
knowledged leader Of the boomers.
Private advices received from him say
that the boomers are in camp at Still
water. on the Cimmaron river, in the
Territory. They are there in force and
are menaced by troops under command
of Lieutenant Day, but propose to hold
their ground at all hazards.
A CRUSHING DEFEAT.
On Christmas-day the troops under
took to arrest some of the colonists,
but were resisted. A fight with fists
and clubs was the result. Arms were
not resorted to. Lieutenant Day and
many Of his soldiers were badly beaten.
1t seems to be the firm belief that Con-
gress will open the lands to settlement
in few weeks. This belief is what
makes the military slow in resorting to
extreme measures. Colonel Hatch has,
however, just received orders to eject
the intruders, and soldiers will immedi-
ately proceed from Fort Lcavenworth in
force sufficient to do the work eifectu-
ally.
