Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1886-08-12

ALBANY, Aug. 9.-Groups of people
watched the funeral train as it wkirled
along the route from Yonkers TO New
Lebanon. Men uncovered, as the train
passed, and all manifested deep interest
in the days melancholy event. When the
funeral train rolled into the little heavily
draped station at New Lebanon at 3:45
p. m. the sward back of the depot was
filled with people. Profound silence
reigned while the bier was being placed
in plain hearse that was in readiness
back of the station. The vehicle was
brought from Pittsield Mass, for the oc-
crsion. An ample supply of convey
ances were Ill waiting, and in a few
minutes the cortege moved toward
the church which is opposite the home
stead. The population of New Lebanon
and surrounding towns had seemingly
turned out en- masse. Rev. NJ. Burritt,
pastor of the Congregational church, as
sisted Rev. j. W. Tucker in the services at
the church, The remains were permitted
to lie in state in the church for an hour.
The bier was then carried to the
hearse by Tilden's personal attendants,
and the silent procession moved slowly
up through the sombre-appearing village,
with the shady streets and large elm and
willow trees, beyond the town a
quarter of mile to the village
cemetery, which is just across
the railroad. On the rise of ground
the procession halted. After brief cere
monies at the grave special train lef
for New York, and thousands who had
gathered to pay tribute of respect to
Samuel j. Tilden, fingered a while and
then departed

HAMH0CkS.
Interesting Facts from United States Repre-

T.s,ru

sentative In }ueatan.
Washington Critic
From time lmmemorial," says Consul
Edward II. Thompson, writing from
Merica, Yucatan, ''hammocks have been
articles of use and barter in Yucatan. /
have found the remains Of hammocks
Deems and hooks in the chambers of the
ruined cities, those mysterious relics Of
past civilization that lie buried in the
depths of the Yucatanean wilderness
He then gives an interesting description
of their manufacture. He SAYS Yucatan
to-day exports more hammocks than any
other province in the world. They are
made entirely by hand and with the aid
of few primitive yet effective instu-
ments. With couple of straight poles.
shuttle, a thin slab of zapole wood, and
a pile of henequen leaves at hand, the
native is ready t. accent contracts for
hammocks by the piece, dozen. or hun
dred. The poles are placed a certain
distance apart, according to the required
length of the hammock The thin slab
of hard wood is then rapidly fashioned
with the aid of a sharp machets into a
"tonkas" or stripper. BY the aid of this
instrument the fiber of the thick, feshy
henequen leaf is dexterously denuded of
its envelope, and wisp of rasped fiber
Is the result. This is placed in the sun
for few hours to bleach The fibers are
then separated into certain number,
given dexterous roll between the palm
of the hand and the knee, and long
strand is produced. Two or more of
these strands are then taken, and by
similar dexterous manipulation converted
INTO cord or rope. from which the ham
mock is made The cord is Grove" rapid,
ly around the two upright poles, and the
shuttle is then brought into play This
Is generally the womens work, and they
do their work well. The shuttle seems to
move and seek the right mesh with a
volition of its own, and in very short
space of time the hammock is made and
and laid with its kind to await the COM
ing of the contractor. After reaching
the hands of the merchant in Merida, the
hammocks, both white and colored, are
each classified into superior and inferior
goods, are neatly and compactly baled in
lots of four or five dozen to the bale, duly
marked and forwarded to the United
States, which absorb most of the entire
expectation. During the calendar year
of 1885 twenty -four thousand hammocks
were shipped to the United States from
Yucatan. During the six months Just
ended over thirtyfve thousand have al
ready been taken by the United States.

Arrangements have been made by Messrs.
Frank Oliver, Charles Mossbacker and Frank
Dale, for a crack game Of base ball at the
| West Wichita fair ground between the En-
poria and Wichita clubs next Monday and
TUesday. The games promise to be the best
ever played in this city. The home team are
hard at work getting themselves il good
trim, and viii be greatly strengthened by the
addition of three new players.
The winning club will get the gate money,
which owing to the much interest being taken

The contest will be fair one
as no selling out or monkey business will be
allowed. Everything will be conducted in a
nice manner, as large attendance OF ladies

If the interest in base bali keeps in
creasing in the city it is expected that by
next spring it will be represented by a crack
club which will gain admittance into the
state league. The boys are beginning to take
a pride in the matter, which is suggestive
that Wichita will have an enviable reputa-
ton in base ball circles as well as other
