AT HOLY CROSS
Imposing Funeral of the Late
Daniel c. NealOn.
An Immense eortege Follows the Remains to
tbs Grave-Beautiful Flowers and I'M
pressive Church Services.

A larger funeral cOrtege than that which
yesterday morning followed the remains
of Daniel c. Nealon from his late residence,
at 1929 Howard street, over the lonesome
road to the holy Cross Cemetery, in San
Mateo County, never left the city.
The hour for the funeral was set for 1880
O'Clock, but long before that time the
streets for blocks to either side of the resi-
dence and to the east and west on the inter-
secling streets were filled with carriages.
When the line was finally formed it
stretched for many blocks until it was lost
in the perspective.
No services were held at the residence.
All night long and up to the honr of the
funeral the house was crowded with weep
ing friends, while in every room potted
plants and other floral tributes dropped in
sympathy with the prevailing sorrow.
In the front parcr, almost concealed by
a garden of flowers rested the plain black
cloth casket in which lay the mortal re-
mains of Daniel c. Nealon.
CALM CONFINEMENT.
One by one his friends passed the casket
and bestowed their last look upon the
familiar &c, paild in death and pinehed
by the fingers of disease, and yet wearing
that look of calm C0ntentment that comes
to those who die secure IN the elief that
death is but ali awakening to a real life.
Tie time was all too short, even for this
last brief consolation, and it was barely I
O'Clock when the immediate members of the
bereaved famiy-Ihe widow, children, the
aged mother and the brothers, sisters and
OtbeTs-entered the room and cast q last,
lingering look on the beloved features. The
grief OF the mother and widow was most

The Eata MOrgana.

The Fata Morgana is a singular aerial
phenomenon, akin to the mirage. 1t is
seen in many parts of the world, but most
frequently and in greatest perfection at the
Straits of Messina, between Sicily and
Italy. So many conditions must coincide,
however, that even there it is of compare
lively rare occurrence. To allow of its
production the sun must be at an angle of 40
degs. with the water, both sky and sea must
he calm, and the tidal current sufficiently
strong to cause the water in the center
10 rise higher than on the edges of the
strait. When these conditions are fully
met the observer on the heights of Gala
bria, looking toward Messina, will behold
a series of rapidly changing pictures, some
times of most exquisite beauty.
Castles, colonnades, SUGGESTIONS OF beau
tiful arches, palaces, cities, with houses
and streets and church domes, mountains,
forests, grottoes will appear and vanish
20 be succeeded, perhaps, by fleets of ships,
sometimes placidly sailing over the deep,
sometimes inverted, while halo like
rainbow surrounds every image. 1t is sup
posed that the images are due to the lrreg-
Illar retroactive powers of the different lay
ars of air above the sea, which magnify, re-
beat and distort the objects on the Sicilian
shore beyond; but to the Italians these
singular appearances are the castles of the
Princess Morgana, and the view of them Is
supposed to bring good fortune to the be-
holder-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The reporter was told an azte-bellum
story, or two of them, twin incidents, that
ailhough true and can be proved, are
well, wonderful, to say the least. 1t was
tod by the captain of the first passenger
steamer that ever piled the turbid waters
OF the Ocklawaha. The vessel only had
one stateroom, the captains room and the
pilot house. On this trip up was an old
northern gentleman and his wife. The
husband was sitting forward reading.

uine pebble spectacles. All at once limb
brushed alongside and the spectacles dis
appeared.
he said nothing of his loss until his re-
turn, supposlng them gone, and useless to
trouble the captain to stop the boat. Well,
tie trip was made, the parties returning,
and the boat laid up week and started
out on another trip, but this time with an
other couple as passengers. Just before
night the lady and husband were sitting
IN the same Seat occupied by the gentleman
when he lost his spectacles on the former
trip. Alongcame limb and caught fine
silk net and carried it away. The lady was
bemoaning her loss when, looking down
into her lap, and 10, there were the lost
gold trimmed spectacles. They had become
fastened to the limb and the last brush
rubbed them off. So much for the spec
tscles. They were sent to the owner, and
the captain still has his letter of thanks, in
which was five dollar bill
Now comes the other part. The lady who
lost her meta very fine one-bought a
common one as a makeshift from the
country store kept at Silver Springs, until
her return to civilization. She came back
on the same boat, the same place was
reached with her in like position, without
knowing or noticing it, however, when her
net and switch were about to become en-
tangled in the limb again. She frantically
clutched both, and beyond a scratch or so
passed III safety; but lo again, on looking
IL her lap, there lay her fine silk net lost
coming up. All lost and finally recoveret,

time 4 few days before the flood he start
ed up the river TO assist in bringing down
the raft. The raft was duly started, but
the water continued to rise to such an ex-
tent that it was deemed advisable to tie
up. This was found to be out of the ques-
tion, as the flood had covered the "snub-
bing posts" and so the raft drifted on, car
ried by the current.
Scores of untenanted houses were passed,
and they finally approached the home of
the young mans sweetheart. AS they
drew near they saw the whole family upon
the roof frantiCally beseeching for rescue
Aided by the current the crew guided the
raft so that it just scraped the caves of the

EARTH LlINGER.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-The English news
papers and especially those that usually
reflect the policy of the government, are
significantly reserved on the subject of the
future of Hawaii, since the death of King
Kalakaua. No hint is thrown out of
British purpose, or hopes, or utterance
given that might arouse suspicion IN
America. There is, however, the very
best authority for stating that, even be-
fore the death of the king, England was
preparing to secure the transfer to
herself or to Canada of political
and commercial preponderance here
tofore held by Americans in Hawai-:
The British are anxious to have control OF
Pearl harbor, which will soon be one OF
the finest in the world and which the
present treaty gives TO the United states.
The Bri ish foreign Office has. it Is said,
received representations from Hawaii that
there Is a strong feeling there, especially
since the passage of the Mckinley Dill,
which deprives Hawaii of the sugar I'M
porting monopoly, in favor of transferring
TO Canada the existing treaty arrange
ments with America, and that there
is a powerful faction in the islands that
wishes to annul the treaty at once, on the
ground that the sugar importing
privileges have been virtual abrogated
by the act of the American congress.
kalakaua was not one OF these. Hls
sympathies were wholly American and his
desire was to tie the islands closer TO
America His death has aroused a feeling
of satisfaction IN England and the efforts
90 get possession of the Pearl Of the Pa
cihc" are being renewed with greater
Vigor than ever. The English have on
their side Col. {. w. Ashford, who is vir
bually in command of the small military
force of the kingdom and who has ex-
pressed himself as advocating "A transfer OF
Hawawiian interests to Canadian control

which has two years to run. Meantime
