Tie Funeral of I.incoin.

Second Volume Blaines History.
The splendor of the ceremonies
which aggrandize living royalty as
much as they glorify dead heroism
was wholly wanting in the obsequies
Of Mr. Lincoln. No part was taken
by the Government except the provis-
ION of suitable military escort. All
beyond was the spontaneous move
ment of the people. For LOO miles,
through eight states of the Union,
whose population was not less than
100000, an almost continuous pro-
cession Of mourners attended the re-
mains Of the beloyed President. There
was no pageantry save their presence.
There was no tribute except their tears.
They bowed before the bier Of him
who had been prophet, priest and king
to his people, who had struck the
shackles from the slave, who had
taught higher sense of duty to the
free man, who had raised the Nation
to a loftier conception of faith and
hope and charity. \ countless multi
tude Of men with music and banner
and cheer and the inspiration of Il
great cause presents a spectacle that
engages the eye, fills the mind appeals
to the Imagination. But the deepest
sympathy Of the soul is touched, the
height Of human sublimity is reached,
when the same multitude, stricken
with common sorrow, stands with IN
covered head, reverent and silent.

Every kind of vegetable intend
ed to be eaten whole, should when
put to boil, be placed at once in boil
ing water, and never in tepid or cold.
But in the making of soup or where
a puree or pulp Is desired, the yegeta-
bic should on the contrary be put on
in cold water and allowed to come
gently TO boil. The reason for this
is that where boiling is commenced
from the moment the vegetable is i'm
merscd in water the albumen of the
vegetable IS partially congulated near
the surface and serves to retain the
virtues Of the vegetable, while, as in
making soup. When the heating is
gradual the albumen Is slowly desolv-
ed and actually mixes with the water,
50 adding greatly to the nourishing
properties of the soup.

IF a newspaper man desires to know
how generally his eHusions are read,
let him publish something that is re
garded as Objectionable by persons
who never take his paper or pay him
a cent. He will wonder how they
know these things were in his paper;
but he will wonder in vain. There is
evidently great amount Of sponging
done. 1t might be added, that he
may say nice things Of a man and his
family for ten years, and he will neY-
er say "thank YOU" but make an I'M

Critical Comments ON tho Attractions
ut the Theatres.
Miss Minnie Madden opened at the New
National Theatre last night IN Steele
Mackaye's "In Spite Of Alln before large
and thoroughly appreciatlye audience. The
story Of the play hinges on the love of a
young married man for an actress and
the efforts Of the wife to win him back to
herself. The story is prcttily told, and, as
performed at the National Theatre last
night, was one OF the most artistic pieces
of acting that has been seen here. Miss
Madden has good conception Of her
part, aud aroused the sympathy of the au-
dicnce by her strong emotional acting Her
company is an excellent one, Miss Nadia rs
Stella and Mr.. Mansfield as the inBrcistriJ,
deserving special mention for their splendid
work. The setting Of the play was very
handsome throughout, and was duly APP
prcciatod 10y the large audience. SIN Spite
of All' will run through the week, with the
usual Saturday afternoon performance.
The performance given by Barlow VIII
son ard Rankin's Minstrcls, at Albaugh's
Grand Opera House last night, was an cx-
cellcnt one throughout Milt Barlow aud
his old partner Wilson, who arc old favor
ties here, renewed their conquests last
night. The opening part was full of life
and fun--the songs were new while the
Jokes were fresh. The vocalists arc all
good, several of the voices being really phe
nomonal in compass. The specialists are
the best in their liue, the Lonton Brothers
being particularly good in their great hat
specially. The same programme will be
given during the week, except that on
Thursday night the burlesque "Crawled
Backn will be replaced by the "Mikado."
A fair-sized audience assembled at Ford's
Opera House last night to see Miss Good
win In "Sisn There is little plot to the
play, which Is built around the character
specalties OF Miss Goodwin. She Is a clever
little woman and sings aud dances we'll.

pany. The same bill will be given through

The "Mkado" was given before n largo
audience at llerzog's Opera-llouse last
night For first performance IL was
creditably done. As the people get more

Miss Louise Arnot drew good house al
the Dime Museum last night III "Thc New

SOUTH WASHINGTON.

The yacht "Claire,n which has been in
vading the most inviting cunning creeks
along the Lower Potomac shores the past
week, quietly glided up the stream and cast
her anchor at her moorings last evening.
The crew, which was composed Of Messrs.
Ennis, Woodward, Macarthur, Kentuer and
Mathershtad, departed from the yacht with
quietness that indicated that they were try
ing to escape probable inspection by the
harbormaster to avoid paying duties on the
empty bottles and game bags. The sports
men say that the 'canyas-backn duck is
scarce and that they did not trinc with the
commoner grades Of water fowls. For the
numerous empty shells they accounted
in shooting at n target. The boys expert
onced a severe gale when Off Mount Vernon
and lost the yawl boat.
The alarm of fire turned in from box As
at 1890 o'clock last night was caused by
fire being discovered in small one-story
frame building on Four-and-a-half street,
near the Washington & Georgetown Rail
road car stables, owned and occupied by
Mrs. Mary Tollver. Number Engine Com
pany responded promptly to the alarm and
had the fire eXtinguished before the arrival
Of the other companies. The total damage
was about 5000, covered by insurance.
Howard Warner, n colored barber, 40

named Kate Jenkins, during dispute at
her home, in alley between Ninth aud Tenth

what the CHURCH Union, says.

President Brewer and officers of the
Washington Life may pride themselves on
the success which has attended their COM
pany during the twenty-five years OF its eX
istence. Judicious management, carefully
invested funds, which have turned, as It
were, into gold. From the official report of
January last we find the company to be
possessed of assets of the best character,
amounting to $7,304; 909,S4, with liabilities
to policy-holdcrs of S6,474, l4l.6l, leaving a
surplus as regards policy-holders of $780,
T6S,23. The income Of the Washington last
year, from all sources, was $l,775, $3.50.
The company paid out for losses aud ma
tured endOwments during the same
period, 1896, $1,000. Cash paid TO an
nuitants, $3,ll023. The company also
paid for surrendered policies, etc, $3l3,-
$3.50, with cash dividend to policy
holders Of S234, $50, and return premiums,
S1,33S,ll, making total payment to policy
holders Of 81 ,140,640.S0. The company has
greatly increased its business this year so
far, SO that at the next annual report the as
sets will not fall short of ten millions, thus
showing that the Washington Life was cor
TeCtly named, If We may judge from the
financial success which seems to follow.
For twenty-five years this life company has
been before the public, and II has never
failed In the faithful performance of what
It agrees to do in issuing q, policy ON the
life of the policy-holdor. The Washington
furnishes life insurance at price but
little more than the actual net cost of
the insurance. The Washington has n
good paying and increasing business ON its
books, 1t is managed with strict economy
and consumnate skin and vlgor, 1t has first
class position in the life insurance world,
and that position will be continually in-
creasing to stlll more prominent one
