Proceedings In the Senate.
When the Senate met at noon the chamber
was partly arranged for the funeral obse-
quies The desk and chair of the deceased
Senator were heavily draped. The galleries
were crowded with spectators, except the
diplomatic and the Vice Presidents gal
leries which were. reserved. In the OPEN
ing prayer, Rev. J. G. Butler. the chaplain,
referred in feeling manner to the death of
Senator Plumb.
He said: Sanctified be this last bereave-
ms t ss
Thy handmaiden in her solitude and sad
ness and overwhelming sorrow in her dis
tant home. We pray that Thou will sustain
her and comfort her and give her Thy
peace.
On motion of Mr.. Manderson, the reading
of the journal was dispensed with, and Mr..
PETER rose to make the formal announce
ment of Mr.. Plumb's death and to offer the
usual resolutions. He said.
Mr. PREsIDENT-I esteem myself peculiarly

Preston B. Plumb, Senator from Kansas,
died in this city yesterday, at 11:5O o'clock.
This is not the time nor the occasion to
speak at length or the life and public SER
vice of the absent Senator. The dark
drapery about the seat he so long occupied
forcibly reminds his fellow members that
they have lost one of their most active and
industrious workers. His experience, his
practical way Of doing things, his
sagacity and his great powers of en-
durance, his constancy and faithful
mace him conspicuous figure among the
strong men of the nation. But there are
others who feel this bereavement more
fallen with CRUSHING weight. There ia a

world knew him not a place where hearts

charitable efforts in their behalf and held
his memory in the deepest reverence.
Among the callers were Captain j. q.
Lindsay, of Kansas, who commanded q
company in Senator Plumb's regiment
during the war, and was his warm personal
friend.
The Casket Conveyed to the Capitol.
At IL o'clock the casket was borne from
the house to the hearse by eight of the Cap
itol police, under the direction of Assistant
Sergeant at Arms Merryatt. Immediately
the small funeral cortege, consisting OF the
hearse drawn by two coal black horses
caparisoned with heavy robes of black net
ting and carriage in which rode Mr.. Mer-
ritt and the private secretary and few ad-
mirers of the late Senator, started toward
the Cspitol. There were no floral decora-
tions at the house, and, save a small wreath
of white immortelles on the top of the
casket, sent by the chief clerk of the Treas
ury Department, there was nothing to re-
lieve the somber blackness of the casket
which contained oil that remained of the
late distinguished Kansas Senator.
The small procession moved slowly down
Fourteenth street 10 Pennsylvania avenue,
and wended its way up through the Capitol
grounds to the northeast front of the Capt.
tol, where the casket was removed from the
hearse and carried up the white marble
steps of the Senate wing. At the entrance
to the building the remains were met by
Sergeant-at-Arms Valentine. who es-
corted them through the lower cor
ridors of the building and upstairs
to the marble room in the rear
of the Senate chamber and only few feet
from the Vice Presidents chair There
they were placed on black catafalque in
the center of the room, and all persons were
required to retire.
Soon after the casket was deposited in the
marble room large number of persons
gathered around the door to the entrance,
anxious to take a last look at the features Of
the dead, but in view of the condition of the

had in the meantime become crowded to
their utmost capacity, and even the halls
and corridors leading to them we're packed
with people seeking to gain admittance.
Arrival of the Presidential Party. r.
Shortly before, 1 o'clock the Cabinet
officers and assistant secretaries of the ex-
ecutive departments began to arrive and
were shown to the Presidents room.
Among them were Secretary Blaine, Secre-
tary Rusk, Assistant Secretary of War
Grant, Solicitor General Taft and Assist
ant Secretaries of the Treasury Nettleton
and Spaulding. The President, accom-
panied by Private Secretary Halford, ar
rived in few minutes and Joined the
others in the Presidents room. Mrs. Har-
rison, escorted by Lieutenant Parker, of the
navy, occupied q seat in the reserved gal
lery. General Schofeld and Commodore
Ramsay had preceded the President and
Cabinet and had taken the two end chairs
on the same row.
At 1:2O o'clock Captain Bassett, the door
keeper, announced the Speaker and men,
bers of the House. The Speaker was
escorted by Sergeant at Arms Valentine to
seat on the right of the Vice President
apd the members filed in and took seats as
signed to them on the Democratic side of
the chamber. The number included many
of the older members of the House who had
known Senator Plumb for years.
Five minutes afterwards the members of
the diplomatic corps-some 25 in number
not wearing their official uniforms, arrived
and were shown to their seats in front of
the members of the House. They were
followed by the Chief Justice and Justices
of the Supreme Court, who took seats in
front of the diplomatic corps At exactly
half past one, Captain Basset announced
the presence of the President of the United
States and his cabinet The Senators aud
spectators stood up to do them honor, as
they had done also in the case of diplomatic
corps and of the Supreme Court. Presi-

GETTING KNOWLEDGE.

Charles Dudley Warner on the Habit of At
tention and the Reading of Books.
An active-minded boy or girl can find
out a great deal about the world we
live in by the habit of attention, BY
looking around; and he or she can get
much inspiration from the example Of
good men and women. But this knowl-
edge can be added to indefinitely by
reading. and people viii read if they
have a genuine desire to know things.
and are not, as we say, too lazy to
live" When l hear boy say that he
does not know what to read, l wonder
if he has no curiosity. Is there nothing
that he wants to know about? Most
children ask questions. 1t often hap
pens that the persons they ask can not
answer the questions. Now, it is the
purpose of books TO do Just this thing
which the particular person asked can
not do. And it must be borne in mind
that curiosity is of many kinds; curiosity
about facts, about emotions, about what
happened long ago, about what is TAX
ing place now, about the people who
lived ages ago, the people who live non,

1t is quite impossible to lay down
rules for reading that will suit all chill

Try TO find out all you can about one

by desultory reading. Nicholas.

success; first, the glass must be quite
level in the water while the scissors are

better to perform the cutting by cut

One day last autumn. when chilly

mothers heart was filled with fear.
The dreaded Group had come, and she
was alone; there was no one to send for
the doctor
Just then sober old Sally, the tor
toise-shell cat, came slowly up the gar
den-path from the barn. The mother
remembered that Sally had,been trained
to carry notes to the store grandpa S

never been known to fail in carrying
them safely.

plump neck, and s.td: Run, Sally, as

Off went Sally, never minding the

was in the house in ten minutes.

Does Experience Count.

1t does, in every line of business, and
especially in compromising and prepar-
ing medicines. This is illustrated in
the great superiority of Hoods Sarsap-
arilla over other preparations, as shown
by the remarkable cures it has accom-
plished.
The head of the firm of G. l. Hood &
Co. is a thoroughly competent and ex-
perienced pharmacist, having devoted
his whole life to the study and actual
preparation of medicines. He is also
member of the Massachusetts and
American Pharmaceutical Associations.
and continues actively devoted to super
vising the preparation of and managing
the business connected with, Hood 5
Sarsaparilla.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is built up
on the most substantial foundation. In
it's preparation there is represented all
the knowledge which modern research
in medical science has developed, COM
bined with long experience, brainwork,
and experiment. 1t is only necessary
to give this medicine fair trial to re-
alize its great curative value.
