Hard Work for the AImight,

There is n minister in New York CITY
who said once that he was not certain
chat he should ever make n long prayer
again. What led him to say this was the
remark of very small boy whose mother
attends his church. Since the minister
learned of the remark, it may not be I'M
fair TO tell the story. II was very long
prayer, and when the mother was leading
her son from the church after the services
the boy said to her, Mamma, don't you
think God must get awfully tired," His
mother looked at him in surprise. What
makes you think so:" she asked. "Oh, he
works so hard" She waited a moment
What makes you think God works so
hard?" she asked finally. ''Oh, he works
hard listening to so many long prayers

A GREAT DAY AT ATHENS.
MAJOR MKINLEY SPEAKS TO NINE
THOUSAND PEOPLE.

ATHENS, o., Oct. 3.-[SpecidL This
mornings sun rose clothed in some of his

came the sturdy yeomanry of Athens county,
and they came from all parts of the county.
The principal business streets and many
private residences were profusely decorated
with bunting, and everywhere could be seen
Autographs of Mckinley. The streets were
filled before 10 o'clock, and the talk
indicated that Athens county Republicans
were having boom. Delegations on horse
back, in wagons and carriages continued to
arrive until about noon, when a parade was
given, headed by the drum corps and brass
band. The crowd was estimated at from
1000 to 5000. Every township in the
county was represented, and the question
was who had stayed at home.
Major Mckinley arrived at o'clock and
was met at the depot by a committee and an
escort of 80 young Republicans and taken
to the Brown House, where from 10 to II 80
he held general reception, and the people
were not slow in showing him they respected

great crowd stood listening to one of the
most mastery and convincing political
speeches ever delivered to the people of
Athens county. The Major had the closest
attention and was frequently interrupted
with applause of hearty character.
After he had finished Colonel Harris,
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, made a
short speech.

in the election of Campbell. Since the
campaign opened in earnest, he says that
Campbell has made wonderful strides. He
has had enthusiastic meetings i'll the Re-

greatly interested in the tariff discussion

bill.
Mr. Yoder asserts that sheet iron was
dipped in lead to display as American tin

candidate great harm. He predicts that
the Democrats will carry the Legislature
and elect the Governor. Some prominent

WITHOUT CEREMONY.
GENERAL BOULANGER's REMAINS
ARE QUIETLY LAID AWAY.

A Morbid Mob Of sightseers Follow the
Frenchman to the Grave-The Casket
Covered with Flowers and Flags Sent
From His Old Home.
BRUSSELS, Oct. 3.-The funeral of Cen
eral Boulanger took place to-day. An I'M
mense crowd of people assembled hours be-
fore the time fixed for the interment cere-
monies in front of the residence of the dead
soldier in the Rue Montoyer.
A large crowd was expected, and the
local authorities had taken precautions in
providing an imposing police force for this
emergency, but as the hour for starting the
procession drew near it was seen that the
number of policemen present was far from
sufficient for the purpose of maintaining
order. Reinforcements were sent for, but,
though the extra force soon arrived, the
police, as the coffin was brought out of the
hotel, proved entirely unequal to keep
crushing, excited throngs in anything like
decent order. Consequently the Sergeants
Deville had to call upon the gendarmes
mounted to assist them in controlling the
mobs. The gendarmes did So, and were
compelled to make a number of arrests be-
fore order could be restored.
The coffin of the General was covered
with hundreds of floral wreaths, tied with
tri-colored ribbons, mostly sent from France
by his political admirers, and in addition
there were a number of tri-color flags
festooned about and draped around the
casket.
Vast crowds of persons congregated along
the route traversed by the cortege of Cen
eral Boulanger. A decorous silence was
observed by the throngs as the hearse passed
on its way to the last resting place, and
most of the persons in the crowd uncovered
their heads AT the entrance to the ceme-
terry the advance of the funeral procession
was delayed by the actions of mob which
had gathered at that place, and were rough
ly crowding about the gates seeking ad-
mittance to the graveyard to witness the
last act.
The gendarmes who were detailed for
duty after considerable exertion succeeded
in clearing passage and the grave was at
length reached.
The coffin was then taken from the hearse
and lowered into the grave. There were no
religious services whatever and no speeches
were made. The only ceremony. if cere-
mony it may be called, was performed by
NJ. Deroulede, who, taking up a tri-colo-,
put the flag to his lips and placed it on the
coffin, at the same time e1claiming: "Fare-
we'll, my friend.' This was the only incl
dent worthy of note in connection with the
interment. When the earth had been
thrown on the coffin and the sod above the
grave arranged by cemetery employees the
friends of the dead General returned to
their homes.

tBY CABLE TO THE DIsPArCH.1
LONDON. Oct. 3.-Dr. J. Mortimer Gran
vile, who began the discussion of drinking
and drunkenness, returns to the charge this
week with a two-column letter, in which he
endeavors to demonstrate this propositions:
Alcohol is a necessary of healthy mental
and muscular life. Those who abstain are
with the rarest exceptions deficient in some
one or more of those qualities of mans
nature with which their radical develop
meEt ought to have endowed them.
The communities that have for a long
time eschewed alcohol are weak of
body and slow of mind. They are
the creatures of vices other than that of
drink and they are subjects of a morbid
fatalism and belief in destiny, which de-
prives existence of its highest motive and
robs it of its noblest aim, leaving it without
the spirit of enterprise, of energy, of hope.
Abstinence all the world over and in all
ages has taken and still takes the backbone
out of a man and leaves him limp inverte-
brate animal, with pulpy brain, a feeble
intelligence and Il will which lacks the
power to assert its authority over the in
stincts and propensities it was made to
control.
