PARIS, June 1.-The streets In the
vicinity OF the Arc DE Triomphe, where
Victor Hugo's body lies, were throngcd
all night. After midnight rain fell, but
this did not apparently diminish the
crowd. Toward morning great deal Of
revelry was INDUCED In; men aud women
singing on the pavemcnts in all dircc-
tons. Good humor prevailed, and police
Interference went no further than occa-
sioual warnings 70 some knots OF rows

monies Of the day began 10 arrive. Pre-
vious 70 movement Of the procession,
speeches we're made. These were inter-
ruptcd BY voices from the crowd, but the
Interruptions were few and OF charac-

OF Anarchists present. AZ IL go pre-
clscy the procession started for the
Pantheon The day is warm. the sun

the throng falls into line without demon
stration and everything thus far Is quiet
e'H ttttitfs
Noo~. just before the procession left
the Arc dc Triomphc a few persons who
attempted TO carry red flags were arrest
ed. This was done SO quietly BY the po-
lice that the incident was not noticed by
most Of those present. Up TO this hour
no disturbance has occurred.
The funeral procession, owing TO the
almost unprecedented throng which
lined the streets, moved slowly. The
catafalqnc bearing the remains arrived
at the Pantheon at two O'Clock, and
the ceremonies were begun at once.
They proceeded without interruption.
The dense mass OF people ia the Pan
theon listened 70 the addresses with
respectful attention, and order was
without any effort on the
part Of the authorities. The ccremo-
MICS were concluded at three o'clock. A
large number Of persons are reported TO |
have been severely hurt during the prog.
ress OF the funeral. At many points
on the route spectators became panic |
stricken at the fearful crush, and In
their efforts TO free themselves many
women and children were injured. ]

The Cooperative plan.

An Ohio manufacturer who started
in business year ago called his en-
ployes around him and said:
'NIow, boys, this is young bust
ness and I can't pay big wages at the
start. However, mean to do the
right thing by you. Well work to-
gether like. Whatever sum is left
over at the end Of the year, after MAX
ing allowances for my interest, wear
and tear and services, shall be divid-
ed pro rata"
The year being up the other day
the employees gathered to hear a
statement read.
"Boys, I am happy to inform you,7
began the boss, 'that there was $500
left over to be divided among you ac-
cording to the old scheme"
Shear, hear ~
But grief compels me to add that I
had to embezzle the sum named to
buy diamonds for my wife, so that
nothing is left. Let us make re-
duction in wages and start anew"

Randolph's stormy Death.
Cleveland Lender.


The last days of John Randolph
of Roanoke, are full Of pathos. He
thought he was dying for years be
fore he did so, and when he was ask.
cd how he was he would reply: "Dy-
ing dying! dying!" He way ty-
rannical and dictatorial until the
last and he fought with his doctor on
his death-bed over the pronuncia-
! ton Of certain words. His death oc.
cured in a Philadelphia hotel. A
few minutes before he died the doc
tor wanted to leave him, but Ran
dolph objected and his slave took
the key, locked the door and put
the key in his pocket. With his last
words Randolph declared that he
wanted his slaves freed, and he kept
his doctor there as q witness of his
dying declaration. A skeptic thro'
life, he appreciated his condition on
his death-bed, and among his last
words was "remorsc" He was lying
perfectly quiet with his eyes closed,
when he Suddenly reused up and ex-
claimed IN on agitated voice: Gre
morsel remorsel remorscln Then
he cried out; "Let me see q diction-
aryl Let me see the word II There
was no dictionary at hand, and he
was told so. He exclaimed, Write
it then Let me see the word I"
The Doctor picked up one Of his
cards labeled Randolph of Roa-
noke.n "Shall | write il on this 2"
Eyes nothing more proper" was
Randolph's reply. The word re-
morse was written on it in pencil
and handed TO him. He looked at

ed. 1t was done and handed TO him
again He looked At It with his
blazing eyes. "Remorsel' he said,
"you can haye no idea Of it what
ever it has brought me to my pres
emf situation-but ! have looked to
Jesus Christ and hope to obtain par
don. He then asked the Doctor to
draw line under the word and told
him to keep the card.
A short time after this his keen
eye began to dull, his powerful mind
gave way, and within two hours he
died.

That took nerve of high order. The
Davises had numbered on the Poto-
mac. They knew of the coal anC
timber beyond. They concluded
that the only way to open this vii
derness was to split it open With 9
railroad. They induced other CAPT
talists to join them. They put in the
sharp point of the wedge and mauled
away at it. As the forest parted
coal veins opened, saw-mills came in
to existence, human babitations
sprung up. There was thelife of pro
ductive industry. From the begin
ming to Davis is four years, and every
year shows profit on the venture.
Davis has only began to be. There
is railway station house, and Bob
Eastman has hotel and grocery
store and O good wife who makes the
soiourner comfortable while the host
spins sbarn tales. The company is
building five five-roomed frame dwell
ing houses-for its employees, who are
now camped in box cars. Besides
this, Davis is forty acres OF birch and
hemlock logs and roots and big
stumps blackened from the burning
of the laurel brush. It looks as
though there might have been q big
rise in the waters that flooded in and
piled up heller SHELTER all the felled
timber in creation, after which the
whole thing was charred with fire.
From all of which you will infer that
save for the bran new frame houses
there is something like scene of ut
ter desolation. But wonders have
been accomplished here in a short
time. Up to May LIS there was moth
ing here but virgin forest and impen-
etrable jungle. Engineer James Par
sons tells me that in this upper coun-
try the engineers had to chop their
way to locate the line to Davis and
beyond, cutting their path through
an underground so dense that human
foot, of white man or of red, never
could have trod it.
A MOUNTAIN STORM.
Tonight we are having mountain
storm. The forest that shuts us in is
a protection from the wind, but the
thunder peals and roars and rumbles,
and the lightning seems to be playing
about every tree in the wilderness.
The rain falls continuous sheet,
pelting and banging on the iron roof
of the Hotel Eastman as though it
would break it's way through in mad
determination to find refuge from
the storm and dry itself before the
blazing fire. in the sitting room, where
we are smoking and swapping lies
