Father Sherman COnsecrates the
Body and the Ground.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21.-Clear up TO the
cemetery entrance the throng OH each
side of the thoroughfare extended. and
in the cemetery were many more peo-
pie. All along the entire line of march
the greatest revere nee was manifested
by the thousands of spectators. AS the
calSSOn bearing the caSket would aD-
proach all talking would cease, heads
would be uncovered. and this mark of
respect continued until the coaches
containing the mourning family had
passed. 1t was O'Clock when the
calsSon entered the gates OF the ceme-
terry. On account OF the large number
OF carriages occupied by Grand Army
men, members of the Loyal Legion and
the Sons of Veterans, who were unable
to endure the fatigue of the entire
march of nearly eight miles, and for
whom carriages were provided at the
corner Of Grand and Eastern avenues,
the road from the entrance of the ceme-
terry to the grave was soon blocked, and
many of those who occupied carriages
and near the end of the procession were
obliged to leave them some distance
from the gate and walk to the grave.
This caused some delay in the services,
and it was not until $50 O'Clock that all
who had been assigned places took their
positions about the open grave, which
was lined inside with flags.
A short distance to the south was the
brave Thirteenth, to the east members
of the Grand Army, and directly around
il to the north were grouped:
Senator Sherman, the Misses Sherman, P
i. Sherman, Col. IIoyt Sherman, Lieuts
Thackera and Fitch and their wives, Judge
and Mrs. 2. b. Ewing, Gen. and Mrs. Thomas
Ewing, Gen. and Mrs. Nelson A. Miles, Sec
rotary and Mrs. Noble, Secretary and Mrs
Rusk, Assistant Secretary Grant, ex-Presi
dent Hayes Gen. Schofeld, Gen. Howard,
Gen. Slocum and others.
After all had taken their positions,
the eight sergeantS acting as body bear
ers lifted the casl1et from the cals>o on

sCHLEsINGER ROAD SOLD.
But Who the Purchasers Are is
Not Yet Known.


Not Yet Known.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. 2l.-The an
nouncement is made here that the
Schlesinger railroad has been sold. The
road is the Escana6a, Iron Mountain &
Western. With the road goes a large
slice of the stock in the Chaplin mine.
Who the purchasers are is not yet
known. The sale was made TO an agent
who acts for the Vanderbits and others.
1t is believed that the road has passed
into the hands of the Northwestern
road but of this nothing is certain.
A report Is to the effect that Andrew
Carnegie is back of the deal. This is
based on the fact that Nj. A. Hanna, of
Cleveland, recently purchased large
block of the stock in the Chaplin mine
and the Carnegie mines use great deal
of northern Michigan ore. The gene
raj belief, however, is that the road
goes to the Northwestern people. Ii
such is the case, it is almost certain
that another line will be built from
some point on the Green Bay into the
heart of the Menominee range which
will parallel the two roads already
built,

any. Agent Sweeny patrols the streets at
night gathering these children from the
streets and the doorvays and the dry goods
boxes and the areas in which they are trying
to sleep Then in the morning he is at the
Police Court TO who of this class are there
and who may be saved frcm life of crime.
Judge Miller and the police are in thorough
sympathy with him, and the little fellows
whom there is any prospect of saving are
promptly handed over to him. The various
charity organizations of the city also send to
HIM the applicants Tor whom they themselves
have no provision. A night school and a sew
ing school are carried on at the home. Last

cost Of meals is between four and five cents.
Many of the cases are pitiful TO the last de-
gree and need only to be known in order TO
5ecure the relief which the benevolence Of the
city il so ready TO give. IL is believed that no
work in the city is quietly doing SO much good
at so small expense. 1t receives nothing from

40 per cent Of what he receives in the form Of

it is possible for him to live under such circum-
stances. but it often happens that he fails to

the usurer, who is called. in the peasant par

money at enormous rates, which gradually alb

usurers are not jews, and thus there ia no con-

the proverbial hatred of the Russians for the

been reduced to a state of want by these peo-

The food supply Of Russia is now on the in

There is great mortality in some parts Of the

WILL ASK FOR POLITICAL FREEDOM.
In time the Russian peasant win ask for his
political freedom in unmistakable terms. There
are certain pacific constructive elements at work
among the peasantry but their good effects are
OelHS uamaged DIV tne ~Ork OF otner elements,
quite destructive, and the influence Of this
class Is being felt The cause of much dissatis-
faction Is found in the absolute power of the
military division commanders, who exercise
the most inhuman despotism over the peasants
under them. IN some instances going so far as
to demand and take arrears of fogging for past
offenses. There have been several small rebel
lions already that have been put down by the
government. In some cases the peasants have
logged the division commanders, they have
killed one and burned the property of others.
The government is extending the system from
few provinces to the entire country. The
peasants cannot achieve anything by them
selves. but some day the revolutionary spirit
will rise at the same time as when there is q
strong rebollious tendency in the towns, and
there will be nothing that can prevent a revo-
luton. At present there is not enough fer
mentation among the peasants.
There is nothing but violence in Russia, no
public opinion there. no changing of religion
without being denounced as n criminal, while
the peasants have shown nothing but love and
devotion to the government which has treach-
erously BETRAYED them.
