sad story comes from the village Of Estralls
in Antioquia: A poor widow with two chill
dren. Laura byname lived upon the outs kirts
of the place. Her husband had been dead for
about two months, when one day she found
herself without means TO satisfy her little
ones cries for bread. The last cent in the
house had been spent Dressing the chill
dren and calling in tho servant girl.
who lad long lived as one of
the family. she prepared TO spend tho
day in the woods. but instead of edibles
placed IN the dinner basket small flask. a
rope and picture OF her late husband. In
ped at about o'clock. The picture was tack
ed against a giant oak. the children were set
down in front of it and told to keep their
eyes on their fathers picture until their
mother returned. The servant was instructed
10 give them a bit of the liquor which the
flask contained to quiet them. An hour later,
alarmed at the long delay OF her mistress, the
servant went TO look for her. Poor Laurs
was found only q few yards away. whers
she had hanged herself to tree quito
dead. Frightened half TO death tho servant
ran away, deserting the children. the esmallest

SENATOR PLUMB's FUNERAL.
Simple and Impressive Services Over the
Remains of the Dead Statesman.

FMpoRTA, KAs.. Dec. 25.-The final cere-
monies over al that is earthly of the late
Senator Plumb were conducted in this city
today. aud the remains laid away in the be-
loved soil OF his adopted State. The weather
was typical Of sunny Kansas but while the
sky was bright aud cheerful the faces OF tho
throngs which stood quietly about the streets
were clouded with gloom.
All places Of business we're closed and busi-
ness houses and residences were alike draped
IN mourning. II was the wish OF the be-
reaved widow that tho private services be
held ct the house this morning before the
final ceremonies IN the church this afternoon.
This was done and no one was admitted ex-
ceptthe congressional escort and the immedi-
ate friends OF the family. The services we're
simple IN the extreme and were in character
much like the man they were intended TO
honor
Rev. DR.. Cordey of Lawrence, Kan. who
was Tor many years pastor of the COngrega-
tlonal church Of this city. which was at
tended bv Senator Plumb and his family
made few brief remarks. which were intro
duced by the hymn. Jesus, Lover of My
Soul" and followed by Abide in Me-"
That was all.
The Communicates of the Knights Templar
had assembled in front of the house and as
soon as the services were concluded the body
was escorted 10 the Congregational church,
where the services began
The services at the church were conducted
by Rev. Richard Cordley, assisted by Rev.
S. A. Morton. The sermon of Dr. Cordey
was simple eulogy. 1t opened with brief
review of the dead Senator's career showing
how step by step he had climbed the ladder
OF fame. His brilliant senatorial record was
discussed and his untiring energy recounted.
Incidents of Senator Plumbs attention
to small things and promptness Of
action We're cited to show the Sc
cret OF success. Pathetic stories Of his
soicitude for others were exceedingly
affecting. The sermon concluded: II do
not forget however. that there are nearer cir
cles into the sacredness of whose shadow [
dare only glance. for there is not only a be-
reaved people, but there is also a stricken
home. No man loved his home more than
Mr.. Plumb. This great sorrow 50 widely ex-
tended and so universal has its focus at the
home That home Is no less stricken because
the State is also stricken and its sorrow is no
less keen and overwhelming because the
state also shares and bears it,"
During the service the procession formed
in front of the church. and when the final
prayer was offered started for the grave. The
attendance was 50 large that not one-fOurth
of the crowd could get inside of tho church
and vast thrOng filled the yard and sur
rounding streets while the services were in
progress.
