Mrs. O'Byrne's Funeral.

Yesterday morning the funeral of
Mrs. O'Byrne, whose death was men
toned in last Saturdays BEE, took place
from the church of ST. Patrick on Cas-
tellar and Fourteenth streets, at $50
o'clock. This estimabe lady was one of
the earliest settlers in this city where she
remained until her death: The funeral
was one of the largest which ever took
place in the southern part of the city, and
among those attending it were many peo-
pie from all parts of the city. Notwith-
standing the rule of all the Catholic
churches, which prohibits funerals from
taking place from the same on Sunday,
an experiment was made in this case by
Rev. j. Jeanette, the pastor of the church
mentioned, on account of the estimabe
character and the long residence in the
city of the deceased. The remains were
inferred in st. Mary's cemetery

LONG LIFE.
How You May Tell Whether You Are
Likely TO Have 1t.

Fortnightlv Review: If anyone would
know whether he Is likely TO live long or
die soon, let him inquire whether old age
runs in family or not. for the good tissues
of long life are apt to be hereditary, and
he may commit II great many eXcesses or
other errors without killing himself If he
comes of Il longlived stock. In like man.
ner he may get much help toward II
knowledge of the diseases to which he Is
prone and which eXcesses or other errors
are likely to light up, by inquiring what
diseases his torefathers or kinsmen suf-
fered or died from. Some diseases are
notorously reckoncd to be directly
hereditary in like kind, for example, cpl
lepsy, phthisis, and insanity. When 4
person has one of them we are not at all
surprised to learn that the discovery Is
Il sufficient explanation and to think
that no more be said. But it is not really
an explanation; it is merely an indica-
ton of the direction in which the exact
explanation has yet to be sought. If 1t
be suiliciant explanation, how does IT
happen that all the children of the same
unsound father or mother do not slliier
in the same way? How is ii that twins,
living under the same conditions, have
not always, as now and then they have,
the same diseases al 1he same ageSy In
calling Il disease hereafter it is not really
meant that the disease itself is actually
Inherited by the offspring, who, in that
case, would be born. with IL; what Is
meant is that the latter inherits cerIain
organic constitution which, being likely
to undergo that, pathological develop.

AMATEUR MUSICIANS.
A New Orchestra OF Fresh Material
Organized Yesterday.


Yesterday afternoon very successful
meeting of amateur musicians was held
at Metz hall on South Tenth street, not
less than twenty-five young gentlemen
being present. EBch of these subscribed
their names to list to compose mem
bers of an amateur orchestra which is
to be under the instruction and direction
of Professor iIofmann. After the members
have practicCd for some time together,
they will, it is expected, be able to play
sufficiently well to be able to accept en-
gagcments for public entertainments.
There are several such or
carnations already organized
In the larger eastern cities, and from the
ability of the young men who have al
ready enrolled it looks as If such an or
ganization were practicable here. As
far as agreed upon the orchestra, which
will meet for practice at the same place
on next Sunday at 3 o'clock, will com
prise the following:
S. Hofmann, leader and director;
MeSsrs. Lockwood, LEM, .Schmidst, first
