The desk that Judge Kelley occupied
for so many years
WAS DRAPED IN MOURNING,
while a bouquet of roses rested on its
top. On the clerks desk were two
crossed palm leaves covered with flow
ers. A few minutes after noon Speaker
Reed brought down his gavel on the
desk in front of him with sharp rap
and directed the clerk to read the
journal of the proceedings of yester-
day. The opening prayer was omitted.
just as the clerk finished reading, A. J.
Holmes, the sergeant-at-arms, appeared
at the main door of the house at the
head of the funeral cortege, which had
proceeded from the Riggs house to the
capitol. Following MIR. Holmes came
Rev. DIR. Cuthbert. Baptist clergyman
of this city, and DR.. Butler, chaplain
of the senate. These were followed
by Chairman O'Neill and the mem
ers of the house and senate committee
on arrangements, consisting of MesSrS.
Mckinley, Cannon, Banks, McKenna,
Carlisle, Bynum, Holman and Mucthler,
and Senators Cameron, Henderson,
Butler and Colquitt. Senator Sherman.
a member of the senate committee, had
arrived some time before. AS the SOL
emn procession moved down the aisle,
Rev. Mr.. Cuthbert read aloud the pre-
liminary Baptist burial service. The
black-coated committeeman wore ro-
settles of black and white. When they
were seated IN front of the first tier of
desks, detachment of capitol police
men, in the brass-buttoned uniforms,
walked slowly and solemnly down the
aisle with the casket on their shoulders.
The caSket bore no other decoration
than large bunch of
LILIES AND MIXED FLOWERS,
While these scenes were going on,
those on the floor remained standing.
Ihey did not seat themselves until
Mrs. Kelley. leaning On the arm of
her eldest son, and followed by the
other members of the family, had entered
and taken the places reserved for them.
AT another rap from the gayel of Speak
er Reed the aSsemblage sat down and
the reading of the remainder of the
Baptist burial service was proceeded
with. DIR. Butler then read the fifteenth
chapter, firstepistle of the Corinthians,
and followed his reading by prayer.
DIR. Cuthbert closed the service with
the benediction, and the casket was
then taken up by the body bearers, who
followed the members of the committee
with their burden. The members of the
family walked out of the house directly
behind the caSket, and they were fol.
lowed by the members of the senate
who were present. Another rap from
the speakers gavel called the house
again to order. Mr.. Bingham, of Penn
Sylvania, arose and moved that the
house adjourn. The motion was car
ried, and the house adjourned until
Monday. Shortly before 1 O'Clock the
remains of Judge Kelley were escorted
to the Baltimore & Potomac station, and
at LIB the funeral party left for Phila-
delphia on special train.

EDGAR ALLAN POE.
An Unfortunate Genius Who

An Unfortunate Genius Who
Lived in the Wrong Time.
Boston Globe.
Forty years ago tomorrow the liter
airy world was startled by the announce
ment that the poet of .'The Bells'' had
died in Baltimore hospital, the direct
result, rumor whispered, of night of
debauch. Since that time American
letters have undergone many changes:
our literature has grown and
nourlShed, and although many of the
writers who were prominent during the
lrst half of the century are forgotten.
Edgar Allan Poe still stands out as the
most noted figure of that era. tine

gave his private character to the weird
In the worst possible light, and the dis
cuSsion ever since as to the correctness
or error OF these views has served to
Keep him before the public, and has. to
some degree, closed the eyes of the
reading world to his tranScendent mer-

Placed by many of the best English
and French critics at the head of our
poets, and, by some, ranked as the

mas yet produced, to the majority of
readers III this country ne is known SIM

His llfe'S story has been so often told
That the main facts of his short, UNI

any sympathy with many of the
sentiments considered peculiar to our
city, and earnestly opposed certain ideas
which ''came from hell or Boston," and
fierce indeed was the storm which his
alleged insults to Boston caused.
Besides being poet and ro-
mancer, Poe was a literary critic as
we'll, and not only did he make war on
those whose books he reviewed,
but the whole literary class came
In for abuse. Mr.. Longfellow, when
violently attacked, magnanimously for
gave him, but many lesser mind was
not so generous and retorted with sour
rllous denunciations. Indeed. although

the, smarting scribblers thought the
fabler too goOd-natured, and wished
that they could have had a chance at
their enemy. 1t is hard for us of this
generation to realize how strongly this
personal feeling against the poet mani
tested itself.
Looking back upon his checkered life,
however, it is easy to see that in many
respects lie was simply unIOrJu-
nate. The time was against HIM.
Literary labor in this cOun-
try commanded but little pay, and Poe
received for his masterpieces far less
than the reporter of to-day for the most
commonplace news. But after forty
years the high position to which his
genius entitled him is beginning
to be acknowledged, and the future his
tOrian of American letters will place
among the greatest names of our litera-
ture that of Edgar Allan Poe.

Commercial Union.
LONDON, Ont, Jan. 11.-Erastus VII
man delivered an address tonight to
large audience at the Opera house, the
meeting being under the auspices of
the Young Liberal club. The subject
of the address was 1.-The Three Futures
for Canada" These were described as
continued colonialism, annexation or an
independent republic. Mr.. Wiman did
not assume to judge between the reIa-
tive advantages offered by these poiti-
cal forms. but he urged that whatever
the people of Canada might decide in
the future on these points. the great
step in advance to he taken in the pres
ent was to establish commercial union
between the United States and Canada.
This would add to the prosperity of
both countries and would render the
final solution of the political problem
easier.

Many stories are told about Proctor
Knotes career in the House. He was un-
doubtedly one of the brightest men who
ever came to Congress from Kentucky.
His Duluth speech reads almost like an in
spiration. He is as ready with his pencil
as with his tongue. He is born artist as
well as a born orator. The light and shade
in his drawings equal the light and shade
in his speeches. In long and wearisoms
debates ha amuses himself by stretching
his arms over his desk and sketching scenes
in the House. He could take pen and ink
photograph III three minutes that would be
recognized by every member on the floor.
In the Forty-lourth Congress he had the
well-known Jim Mckenzie as a colleague.
Jim is full us bright as Proctor Knott, but
lacks Knots artistic gift with tue pencil.
One day in dull debate Knott sketched a
little pond surrounded by fence. The
pond was filled with ducks. He drew q
jackass whose head was stretched over the
fence looking at the ducks.
He had hardly finished the sketch when
a little page came down the aisle and caught
a glimpse of the picture. The pages were
always eager to secure Mr.. Knots draw
ings.
Oh, please, Mr.. Knott" said this lad,
"may have that sketch ?'
Yes. my boy" the Kentucky Congress
man replied, you're welcome to it."

repeated, as though thunderstruck. "That
bill is no longer before the House. It has

alton is the Senate bill providing for the
erection of public building at Whapwall-
opy, Pa"
This ended the matter. The Judge re-
sumed his seat. He opened his rubber
pouch and took fresh chew of tobacco.
Then he defeated the Whapwallopy bill
and knocked out every other appropriation,
great and small, that was before the House
that day.
