Funeral CuriOsities.

One of the city undertakers tells of
some strange experiences. One family
employing him had no money to pay
for the funeral of relative, and asked
him to take a piano and call the bill
squared. He did so, and gives as his
reason that he preferred to take six and
a half octaves of notes that he could get
his hands upon at any time to accepting
a note of hand that might run on INDIE
finitely. He speaks of a funeral Grafton
which struck him as peculiar, especially
as the bereaved one sat next to the
casket and was expected to receive con-
ISOLATION from the remarks. Said the
preacher: "Bredderin, we is all born
and we is all got to die. Wild our sister
dere is dis to consider. Her life partner
am dead before her. If she was in his
place, dere's no tellin' when an oder
woman might shin up to him and get
married to him." At another funeral
he was amazed at the brevity of the dis
course, which was exactly as follows:
1--WE are all born, we all live, and we
must all die; let us pray" After the
funeral he asked the clergyman why he
had been so brief. ''What more could
I sayp" was the reply. 1.-THE woman
was sOiled Cove, and remarks about
her life would not have suited the fami-

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 6.-The area
of public lands disposed Of during the last
fiscal year and the receipts from the same,
as compiled from the report of the commits.

lows: At cash sales, 4,789, DIG acres; home

acres. The cash receipts from this were
$a,O3l ,0S4, Of which 81 ,6O7, 729 belongs to the
Indian tribes.
The secretary reflects severely upon tho
operations of the government survey oflands
and says:
The commissioners report upon the public
surveys, though interesting, Is a painful ex-
hibit. 1t appears from the document that
the available agricultural land In most Of the
public land states and territories has been
largely returned as survey ed, and the sur
veys paid for by the United States, but in
many instances the reported surveys are so
detective and erroneous as to be without
merit and misleading; and that In other
cases no actual surveys were made but plats
were manufactured upon the basis Of ficti-
tious field-notes. Others in which the topo-
graphy represented upon the plats was en-
tirely out of correspondence with the feat
ures of the country, some streams being
represented where none exist and others as
flowing in the wrong direction.
The secretary renews his suggestions as to
the repeal of the presumption and timber
culture laws, and modification Of the present
desert land act.
The secretary also denounces at great
length the custom once prevalent of fencing
in the public lands for the benefit of the cat
tie men, and also the hocus pocus by which
certain grazers can, by acquiring title to all
lands having streams or springs, hold posses
sion of thousands and thousands of acres,
rendered valueless to the settlers because the
water rights have been seized by the en-

BONNER AND CONKLING.
How They Were Reintroduced "On TIN
Road" the Other Day.

One day last week a quiet looking
gentleman was driving big bay geld
ing down the avenue, leisurely, at
about three-minute gait AS he APP
preached light wagon driven by a tall
man with snowy Venetian beard the
tall mans horse quickened his gait.
The quiet gentleman following thought
the other DESTROYS of brush. He HIM
self was driving very good roadster,
one Of the kind that will do whatever is
asked of him within his limit, and his
limit is not narrow. The horse was
quickened into ESQ clip and still the
tall mans horse kept in front. The
quiet gentleman's animal was let out to
a 2:40 gait. and yet an obstinate two
lengths separated him from the leader.
"Well," said the quiet gentleman to
himself, 81 think will see what kind of
chap that is.''
He pulled the 2:30 stop on his trotter,
under which pressure the tall man was
gradually overhauled. AS the nose of the
follower reached his wheel the quiet
looking gentleman saw that the tall
mans horse showed signs of getting
tangled. For an instant he held his
horse in, allowing the tall man to open
gap of two lengths. Then, for the
first time, he let his horse have his head.
The speed which had been gradually
lowered from three minutes to 2:5O, 2:40
and 2:30, consecutively, became nearly
two-minute clip. As the big bay
rushed by him like a locomotive the tall
gentleman's horse broke and went up
into the air. The rush continued. A
2:30 trotter, going at speed and driven
by still taller man was passed. The
animal jumped into the roadside ditch,
frightened by the terrific speed of the
quiet eentleman's horse. Before One
Hundred and Twenty-fifth street was
reached the very tall man, whose mare
had gone for the ditch, joined CONVEX
sation with the quiet gentleman, who
with Picard.
'Bless my soul, Mr. Bonnerr' said he,
Il don't think ever saw a horse foot
so fast. My old skate is good for 2:30
any day, but she didn't know where she
was"
Just then the tall gentleman caught
up. and the owner of 1.-THE old skate"
with the Venetian beard, Jack Dawson,
seeing that Mr.. Bonner was apparently
unacquainted with him, said: mir.
Bonner, allow me to introduce you to
Senator Conkling"
The two gentlemen, thus hastily in
troduced, had met seventeen or eighteen
years ago. We are pleased to note that
such distinguished citizens as Senator
Conkling are becoming fond of the
pleasures Of the road. John Murphy
drove Picard half mile in 1:O8I at
Fleetwood park last Thursday. BY the
way, Murphy weighed 125 pounds and
the wagon weighed 260 pounds. So
great weight was never before drawn
at that speed for the distance.-IurT,

Last year Assistant Secretary of
State Adee attempted to take photo

ran, and the result was his proofs pre-
sented a group of buildings falling in
every direction. The walls of some
were bulged out and others falling in.
He had some blue prints made of the
remarkable production, aud the other
day one of them was passed around the
departments. The print was passed off
as taken from an instantaneous photo
graph of the earthquake at Charles
ton. 1t was stated that the first shock
awakened the photographer. and he got
his traps together, rushed into the
street and got an excellent negative of
the second shock. All of the officials
believed the story. and some of them
went into a scientific dissertation over
the blue print until some one called
attention to the fact that the earthquake
occurred at night
