The First Brigade was commanded by Brig
Gen. Whitaker and the Second by Col. Mitchell.
The 22d Mich. and oJth Ohio were tempo
rariIy attached to the First Brigade. As the
Division took 1914 men into action, it lost
per cent. killed, nearly "a per cent. wounded,
and about llt per cent. missing making a total
loss oil over "a per cent.-au enormous loss OF
course, many Of those reported wounded and
missing were really killed. 1t is our impression
that the division suffered fully rs heavily, if
not more so, than any other division engaged
in the battle on the Union side but we have

Deafness is caused by an infamed

gets inhamed you have rumbling

it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to

Each tour will be limited to a certain
number Of passengers, who will travel
in Pullman vestibule train, furnished
with the luxurious appointments of the
richest home, with ladies' maid, stem

The Inauguration Of this service last
year was the theme for universal com
! ment. and the warmest credentials of
praise bear testimony to the high

East of thoroughly seeing the vast do
main of the country they so vallantly
boast Of as well as such an opportunity
/ OF visiting the interesting land of the
Aztec, replete with ruins garlanded
with mythical lore. The rates for the
round trip are exceptionally low, and
include not only all necessary travelling
expenses en- route to the Pacific Coast
and return, but also side trips to the
attractive resorts IN California, and
several carriage and stage rides Of in
terest. This applies as well to the
Mexican tour, where the objective point
will be the city of Mexico and side
! trips made from there, the rate inClud

city to-day and everybody seems to be
In deep mourning over the departed
| Phineas Il. Barnum. Business is gener-
ally suspended and every citizen is
| given an opportunity TO pay his or her
last respects to the departed. The South
| Congregational Church, which had been
placed at the disposal of the family for
the funeral ceremony, was crowded to
! suffocation.
The remains Of the dead Snowman
rested in handsome solid red cedar coffin
of Corinthian style, covered with black
English broad cloth. The trimmings
were oxidized silver.
The funeral services were simple. A
short service of prayer was held at
Marina at 100 p. M, conducted by Rev.
l.. B. Fisher, of the First L niversalist
Church. This was strictly private, only
the members of the family being pre-
sent. After this the funeral cortege pro-
ceeded to the church, where the public
services were held at 2 p. rn.s
The impressive and most solemn ex-
ercises Of the church were conducted by
Rev. L. B. Fisher. Rev. DIR. Collyer, Of

friend. The display of floral pieces
was simply beautiful and were con

A large number were sent by New York
relatives and friends.
stAt the grave thousands of sympathiz-
ing friends had gathered to witness the
last sad rites. The handsome burial
plot was beautifully adorned with flow
ers. The Rev, L. B. Fisher OBLIGATED at
the grave and read the committal SER
vices of the church, after which he
offered the usual prayer and benedic-
ton. The immense crowd fingered long
about the grave after the grief-stricken
family had departed, casting a sorrow
ing glance at the grave of the departed.

Mum, of Paris.
PARIS, April l0.-The following is a
copy of the letter of Cardinal Gibbons
to the Count de Mum, which has APP
pearcd in lie Monde:
My DEAR CouNT l have received and
have read with interest your able pamph-
let, entitled Quelque Mots d. Explication,
in vindicatiOn of the noble course YOU
have pursued in the cause of suffering hu-
manity 1t is sad reflection that one
who has consecrated his time and his tai
ents to the best interests of society should
be Obliged to defend his actions, which
eloquently speak for themselves. But you
will derive consolation from the reflection
that if he merits well who writes and
speaks for the poor, he merits more who
suffers for them.
The efforts you are making to mitigate
the hardships of the laborng classes are
worthy of all praise. The restriction of
female and child labor and the iudicious
regulation of the hours of labor for me,
is humane mission. 1t may be difficult in
deed to determine by law how many hours
should constitute a days labor for man.
but it is not difficult for the authorities to
fix maximum standard beyond which he
should not be Obliged to work All fair
minded legislators will agree that labor
should be 30 restricted as to allow a reason
able period for bodily rest and for health
full recreation.
Above all the Sunday rest should be in
sisted on. For nothing is more calculated
to degrade man and to embitter his days,
and to crush out from his heart the blessed
influences Of Christianity, than the desc

llghtened guidance of the holy father, you
the divine seal Of Christianity on social
life. If society is leayened by Christianity
it will grow and expand; if Christian prin-
ciples are excluded, it is doomed, like the
Roman empire to decay and dissolution
Accept, my dear count, the assurance of
the profound esteem Of yours, very sin
cerely in Christ, j. CARD. GIBBONS,

Urged to Return TO Their Original Faith
THE Beauties of Tithing.

CHICAGO, April "a special dispatch
from Cleveland, Ohio, says: The an
nouncement was made Yesterday at the
annual conference of Latter Day Saints
that Apostle Joseph Luff and possibly
another together with other missionaries
will in all probability be sent to work
upon the Utah Mormons to persuade them
to return to their original faith which is
held by the recognized church. Apostle
Luii says also that polygamy is conducive
to immortality and vice, but there are
many Mormons in Utah who despise
polygamy
Elder Hillyard delivered an eloquent
sermon on ''Tithing," saying that by this
method the poor man has a claim upon
the blessing Of the Lord just as much as
the rich. In the New Testiment there are
references to the law of tthing notwith-
standing that it may bethought that tithes
were abolished when Christ's dispensation
began
The Northern Conference of California
presented a resolution asking for the
elevation of Elders Geo. L. Lincoln. of
San Francisco, and J. B. Price, of Oakland
to the high priesthood. This was referred
to the first president and quorum Of
apostles. A petition was received from
the English Mission which asked for q
more complete organization of the church
IN England by the appointment of a
bishop of England. They also want a
number of high priests. The petition was

CHICAGO, April ga special dispatch
from st. Paul, Mimi, says. 'The south.

Agents from Omaha, st. Joseph, Kansas
City and St. Louis are in the twin cities
buying every straw of hay they can get at
the prevailing price, $50 per ton, and it
IS learned that their operations have not
been confined to the two cities. They
have visited dozens of the country towns
within easy reach of rail facilities and
have contracted for all the hay in sight at
an average price
The purchases already amount to /, 200
tons. In fact there is a well DEVELOPED
corner on hay. Inquiries of commission
dealers ELECTED the Information that there
is very little hay remaining on the market
for sale. The secret of the whole matter is
found in the fact that there is hay famine
in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri. The
shortage is particularly felt in the latter
state.
Baled hay was worth S17 per ton in st.
Louis yesterday and thither most Of that
purchased here is being sent. In st. Joseph

BosToN, MASS, April 10.-A Herald
dispatch from Ottawa, Ont, says; Your
correspondent learns from most reliable
sources that the agents of the dominion
government, in Great Britain and on
the continent have advised the govern
ment here that the outlook for emigra-
ton to, Canada during the coming sea-
son is more. unsatisfactory and discour-
aging than it has been for several years.
The unusual efforts of the government
to bring settlers here during the summer
is likely to meet with signal failure. The
cause is said to be the state of religious
and political affairs in Canada and the
uncertainty which surrounds the do
minion's future fiscal policy.

SPRINaFIELD, Mo.-April 10.-The
severest hail storm in ten years was
raging here yesterday about noon. In
the western part of the city windows
and glass doors were broken by the
hundred. The hail stones were as big
as hens eggs. Many persons exposed
to the storm received severe bruises
from the hail. The damage done is
estimated at over $4,000. A cyclone is
reported to have passed over Nevada,
Missouri, last night. On the east side
OF the town one unoccupied two-story
building was crushed to pieces and
three others were lifted from the
ground. Several barns were also de-
molished. No casualties are reported.
AT Sandville, Kan, heavy wind and
rain storm did a great deal of damage
by blowing down and unroofng build
ings, leveling fences and trees.
