FUNERAL OF MRS. FISKE.
Eloquent Words of Colonel lngersoll in
Her Memory.

New YORK, Feb. 6.-Scottish Rite
Hall was crowded to the doors this
forenoon by friends and relatives Of
the late Mrs. Mary Hewins Fiske,
the dramatist and author, who died
on Monday. The theatrical profes-
sion was largely represented at the
funeral services. The coffin rested
on catafalque and was covered with
flowers. Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll
delivered the funeral Grafton. He
told in eloquent words the story Of a
waif adopted by Mrs. Fiske short
time before her death, and which
was named by deceased Phillip
Herne." The grafton closed with !.
"We pray thee, Mother Nature, that
thou wilt take this one and hold her
in thy arms as she held and pressed
against her generous, throbbing
heart this abandoned babe. We ask
no more"
A quartet from Dockstader's Min
strels assisted in the musical por-
ton of the services. Mrs. Isabella
Dunlap, sister of the deceased, and
Mr.. Harrison Grey Fiske superin-
tended the funeral arrangements.
The remains we're taken to Mrs.
Fiske's late. home in Hartford, Conn,
for interment.

SECRETARY FAIRCHILD SUED.
Jerome +. Manning Says he Was
Euchred Out Of Fees.

BosToN, February S.-Jerome f.
Manning, the well known Alabama
claims attorney, has brought suit
against Secretary of the Treasury
Fairchild to recover $4,000 dam
ages. The papers were served on
Mr.. Fairchild when he was recently
in Boston at the Tariff Reform Club
dinner and the writ is returnable a t
Cambridge, March A. Charles Cow
ley, counsel for the plaintiff, stated
this morning that the suit is ground
ed on the fact that Mr.. Fairehild,
while assistant secretary under Dan
iel Manning, entered an order that
in cases where the court of Alabama
claims had given decisions in favor
of claimants, the drafts which are
issued by the treasury department
be delivered to the claimants and
not the attorney for the latter. Mr..
Manning, the plaintiff, contends that
this order should not apply to claims
disposed of previous to the estab
fishing of the regulation and alleges
that Mr.. Fairchild wrongly caused
drafts for very large amounts to be
paid to claimants instead of the
plaintiff. whereby the latter lost his
fees.

Does it Pay9

Three fourths of sour people are
troubled with Dyspepsia or Liver
Complaint in some form or other,
which by nature of the disease has a
depressing influence on the mind or
body, preventing them from think
ing or acting clearly in any matter
of Importance. Indigestion, coming
up of food after eating, dyspepsia,
sick headache, acidity of the stom-
ach or any arrangement Of the stom-
ach or liver upon which the whole
action of our system depends) are
speedily and effectually overcome by
the use of Green's August Flower.
The most stubborn cases have yield
ed to it's influence, as thousands of
letters received will testify. The
immense sale of this medicine is
another guarantee Of it merits, over
million and half bottles sold last
year, So we ask, will it pay you to
suffer from any Of the above diseases
when you can have immediate relief
in the August Flower. Three doses
will PROVE its worth. 1t is sold by
all druggists and general dealers In
all parts of the world.

When / am Dead.

If tonight were lying dead,
Would they who now with scott and
jeer
Defame my life-would they draw
near
And mouth their scandals 'er my head ?
Would they with malice-venomed
art?
Would they whose burdens / have
borne,
To help them on their upward way,
Though | was weak and poor as they
And needed favors in return -
Would they requite me when / am
dead
With sorrow-or with scorn instead
If, looking down in my dead face,
They marked the lines of toll and care
And self-denial printed there,
Which death itself could not efface,
Would they not say, "She's happier
far
Than we who have maligned her are %
If sacrifice for others needs,
If craving love where none is given,
II these be sin in sight of heaven,
Then must stand condemned indeed /;
But malice wrought on anyone
Is evil have never done.
And, so when ! shall come to die,
This heritage of hate will cease;
And in it's place the sweetest peace
viii brood around me where / lie,
And all my life Of love and care
Will rise toward heaven like prayer.

HAD GREEN GOODS FOR SALE.
An Alleged Dealer in the Queer Ar
rested.



Another green goods man has come
to grief Yesterday afternoon Unit
ed States Deputy Marshal Chambers
arrested Peter Worl at the American
House ON information off A Kaylor,
of Somerset county, who charges him
with using the mails for fraudulent
purposes. Kaylor alleges that few
months ago Worl, who was located
in Pittsbnrg, opened up correspond
ence with him claiming to be able to
put him in the way of making con-
siderable money, Several letters
were written by Worl, in which he
offered to sell for $500 an article that
would realize several thousand dol
lars. Arrangements were made for
a meeting, and the American House,
Pittsburg, was decided upon, When
Kaylor arrived in the city yesterday
he did not go to the place of meeting,
but to the office of the United States
commissioner. He swore out war
rant, and the deputy marshal served
it on the dapper young man who an
swered to the name of Worl when APP
plication was made at the American
House. He was taken into custody
and held in default of bail.
The arrest was brought about in a
rather novel way. Kaylor was ac-
companied to Pittsburg by a man
named Hays who promptly identi-
fed Worl as the man who swindled
him in similar manner several
months ago. The result of their
correspondence had been meeting
at Greensburg, in room hired for
the purpose. Here Worl had pro-
duced So bill, which he said was
counterfeit, and offered to sell Hays
$500 worth of them for 800. Hays
gave him the money and World start
ed out to get the counterfeit notes.
He never returned. When Hays
heard from Kaylor that Worl was
writing to him, a plan was devised
to catch the fellow. How well it
worked was shown by the doings of
yaetardav

The Chill Blast

That sets the naked branches quiv-
ering, is not felt by the wealthy val
etudinarian indoors, but not all the
covering that can be piled on the
warm bed, nor all the furnace heat
that anthracite can furnish, will
warm his marrow when chills and
fever runs its icy fingers along his
spinal column. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the thing to infuse new
warmth into his chilled and aguish
frame, to remedy the fierce fever and
exhausting sweats which alternate
with the chill, Dumb ague, ague
cake, bilious remittent-in short,
every known form of malarial disease
is subjugated by this potent, and at
the same time, wholesome and genial
medicine. Biliousness, constipation,
dyspepsia, sick headaches, loss of
appetite and sleep, kidney trouble,
rheumatism and debility are also
remedied by it. Use it with persis-
tence to effect thorough cure.

lighting up her face as she turns it
to his. Il can not doubt that you
love me with all the fervor of the
Lower House; but then, you know
only too well what my fathers ambi-
ton is. He has said long ago that
| must marry man with pull.
Oh, darling, why have you not a
pull?"
"Alasw rejoins her lover, l have
indeed a very slight pull-even in
my own district. But it has occur
red to me that if l can get your faith
er's Central Park bill through next
session, he will perhaps look more
favorably upon my suit.
"Oh, Algernonm exclaims the
young girl. wringing her hands in
bitterness of spirit; "that job will
never go through. The hayseeds are
all down on it."
"Neyer mind, my precious one

brow; II will do something ere long
to convince your father that l have
not quite lost my grip"

A year has flown, and now another
splendid June evening finds the
young lovers seated side by side on
the vine hung piazza. They look
tenderly and joyously into each 9th
er's eyes. All the signing is done
by the tall locust-trees described in
a previous chapter.
The old Alderman approaches,
but they do not draw apart from
each other. He no longer opposes
their union, for the handsome young
member of the Lower House has
shown that he has pull. When
the bill for cutting down the trees
in Central Park was defeated by an
unprecedented majority, and ominous
murmurs of discomfort were heard
in the lower wards. Assemblyman
Billings threw himselfinto the breach
with a bill to tear up all the gas and
water mains in New York and put
them down again. With fiery elo.
quence he rushed the job through,
although hayseed and swallow tail
fought shoulder to shoulder against
it.
And 50 it came to pass that Alder
man Mahoney's constituents got
long and easy jobs on the big pipes,
and the reins Of power were placed
again in the hands of the Tammany
chieftain, who dispensed his patron
age with lavish hand wherever he
thought it would do the most good.
Then then the gallant young As
semblyman proudly claimed his
bride, the Alderman gave them his
blessing, and Maud Mahoney mar
ried q mnn with a pull.

A BIG GAME SLAUGHTER.
A Farmer Covers His Fence With Coal
Tar and Gets Plenty Of Animals.

A correspondent from Summers
vile, W. Va, says: Henry Murray,
farmer living in the mountains of
Pocahontas county, has been annoy
ed and damaged by the squirrals,
rels, chipmunks, and other four-leg-
ged pests which nightly swarmed
from the woods and ate his corn.
They literally destroyed everything
before them until he accidentally
struck upon plan by which he has
destroyed almost all of the pests.
He one day noticed a chicken which
had stepped into little pool of coal
tar. The fowl wandered about a few
minutes, until its feet became so
covered with the leaves and sticks
upon which it stepped that it could
go no further and fell helplessly to
the ground. Murray, struck with
the idea suggested by the plight of
the chicken, Immediately set to work
and filled large kettle with coal tar,
and other glutinous substances,
which he heated.
This conglomeration he spread
thickly upon the top rails of the fence
which stretched around his corn field
and into the woods. Before day
break the next morning Murray ac-
companied by his boys and half a
dozen dogs, went into the corn field,
and, raising a yell, started the af-
frighted animals by the dozen from
their work of destruction. In an in
slant long line of gray, brown and
stiped animals were jumping and
scurrying along the top of the fence
toward the woods. Before they reach
ed the woods many Of them had so
covered their feet and sides with the
the gummy stuff that they either
stuck fast or fell to the ground, when
they were quickly dispatched. In
the open woods at the end of the
fence the scene was an animated one
of rolling, tumbling squirrels, coons,
and opossums, with feet, sides, and
backs covered with the adhering
leaves, sticks, etc, with which the
ground was covered. Sixty seven
gray squirrels, 81 chpmunks, 3 opos-
sums, and 7 unlucky coons fell vic
tins of Murray's 'tar-heel" mixture.
A few others succeeded in getting
into the trees, but they could not get
out of sight of the hunters, their feet
either sticking to the branches or
failing to hold at all on account of
the punches of leaves adhering to
them. In very short time Murray
literally depopulated the side of the
mountain of the pests. 1t was but
short time before the story got out,
and now the entire country is using
Murray's receipt for the destruction
of the pests which destroy thousands
of dollars worth of corn and other
cereals every year.

Wise Words.
Live within your income.

Live within your income.
Never try to outshiDe, but TO
please.
There is no rainbow without
cloud and a storm.
There is no virtue in promise
until it is redeemed.
Turn from the irreparable past to
the available future.
A guilty weight upon the heart
takes the sun out Of the sky.
Women never weep more bitterly
than when they weep with spite.
Give because you love to give as
the flower puts forth it's perfume.
Excessive labor is wrong, but judi
cious labor is the safety valve Of life.
Some men are as coyetous as If
they were to live forever; and others
as profuse as if they were to die the
next moment.
Usefulness, not happiness, should
be the chief aim of life, but useful
ness and happiness are apt ride in
the same saddle.
A good character when establish
ed should not be rested in as an end,
but only employed as means of do
ing still further good.

ject Of such teaching as is now under
discussion; for it is not so much the
facts or the principles that may be
stored in memory as it is the bias of
inclination and the trend of thought
that are given, which make this in
struction valuable to young minds.
Finally, the very fact that your
executive committee assigned this
as subject worthy the attention of
this body of intelligent ard educa-
ted men and women proves that it is
in the thoughts of the people; that
they are talking about it, and are
seeking information to direct them
to proper discussion. This discus
sion, l believe, will be in favor of the
farmer; for our population is almost
wholly agricultural and will remain
largely so for many decades to come,
in spite of the revolution in manu-
features which is gradually, through
the influence of steam, forcing the
capitalist to establish his factory
nearer the raw material, and to leave
the sounding waterfalls of New Eng
land and the Middle States to the
primeval business of wearing away
rock to make new soil for the agri-
culturist. Even if we should in the
next twenty years have factories es
tablished in every village and city
in our State, it would but increase
the demand upon our soil for a larger
production with which to feed the
growing population. Mississippi is
not ready for such a condition Of
things. Her cultivated lands are
slowly deteriorating, even in such
fertile areas as the famous Yazoo
Delta, and much more rapidly in the
upland districts. We must do as
Germany, Belgium, France, England,
Scotland, and even semi-civilized
Russia are doing: we must train the
young minds to observe and to uti
lie those forces of nature by which
lost fertility may be restored to our
worn out lands, and the virgin fer
tility retained in those lands yet I'M
touched by the pillow. That teach
ing the elementary principles of
scientific agriculture in our public
free schools will accomplish all this.
l do not claim; but that it will great
ly assist in bringing about better
methods of farming l honestly be
lieve; and with these better methods
will come increased prosperity to the
farming classes; and all know that
this mean increased prosperity to
every other class of eur popula-
ton.
