 The funeral of Patrick Murphy, who was killed Friday morning by being thrown from an ice wagon, took place yesterday afternoon from his late residence, 131 Clay street, Fair Haven.

 Many beautiful floral emblems were pre- sented, prominent among which were a harp of white roses, with the words Brother, Rest" in blue violets; cross, an anchor, pillow, and wreath The in torment was in St. Bernard's cemetery. One hundred and ten hacks and carriages, laden with sorrowing friends, followed the body to it's last resting place.

Three Members of the Family Die
 in One week = The Family Circle
 Lessened by Five in Two Years.
 Benjamin W. Stone, of this city, died at his residence, 76 Day street, on Saturday, which was exactly one week after the death of his wife, who was afflicted with pneumonia.
 On Thursday of last week Mrs. Bristol, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Stone, died after
 a short attack of the grip.
 MT. Stone, who was in his eighty-fourth
 year, was the third member of the family who has passed away during the week, which has been one of lamentable aff1ic- tion for the surviving members, who are the twin sons, George T. and Benjamin J. Stone, the latter resident of Fair Haven East
 Benjamin J. Stone is bookkeeper for A. B. Hendryx, the bird cage manufac- Angeles, Cal, where he went about a year ago for his health, after long service | with Monson & Carpenter, the Chapel l street dry goods dealer, as bookkeeper. The late B. w. Stone was for many years proprietor of a merchant tailoring | store on Chapel street, about where MT. Loper is now located. Later he was as- sisted in the same business with William
 Franklin. About five years ago he lost the sight of one eye which, together with ad-
 vanced age, caused him to retire from business.
 MT. Stone and his family were members | of highly esteemed family and were much respected. In commercial circles ! ha o1 nf fhe | most reliable men in business, and his rep I utation for integrity among business men | was excellent.
 The deceased has been much depressed | since the death of his wife and daughter, | and this no doubt hastened his death, l which occurred after short illness. Both | MT. and Mrs. Stone were among the old l est members of Center church. l The funeral of the late MT. Stone will ! be attended this afternoon.
 FUNERAL OF MRS. BRISTOL: The funeral services of Mrs. Bristol were
 largely attended yesterday afternoon al
 her late residence. The officiating clergy
 man, Dr. Twitchell, of whose church she
 was member, spoke feelingly of her past life, which was characterized by so much l of purity, grace and Christian helpful ness. The casket was covered with 8 pro- fusion of flowers. Although contrary to 1 the request of Mir. Bristol, yet he did feel
 that these tokens of love and respect should
 not be unnoticed. The bearers were all
 immediate neighbors, viz: Prentice | w. Chase, George Adkins, Hen l ry Hotchkiss, Dwight Blakeslee l D. A. Blakeslee and w. c. Dole. Mrs
 Stone was of a quiet disposition. but was 1 greatly beloved in the home circle. Thus the blow falls with more than usual force
 on the bereaved husband, who has also
 lost both his own father and mother, and his wife's father and mother within the
 past few years. It is rare one finds death
 rsaping such harvest in one family in SC | short time.

TWO SPIRITED ADDRESSES

At the Largest Meeting of Russian
 Hebrews Ever Held in This City,
 Last evening Coroner Ferdinand Levi, formerly director on the board of immi- grafton at New York, and Dr. Kleeberg of the Court street synagogue, addressed large meeting of the Russian Jewish in- habitants of the city. He came here in the interest of the Russian an-Hebrew-Ameri- can Aid society to appeal for help for the exiles from Russia. He told touching stories of their treatment in Russia-inci- dents which he had heard from their own lips, and of the avidity with which they grasp chance to come to country where they can enjoy the blessings of peace and without fear of persecution. He closed his address with an urgent appeal for aid, which was responded to by those present with the greatest cheerfulness.
 Dr. Kleeberg then spoke of the impress sion that these poor, helpless people made on him when they first arrived in this country, but that they were sober indus trious people, who, when given chance, soon made pleasant and comfortable homes for themselves as the orderly well-dressed audience attested. He said that as Spain was punished when it banished the Jews in 1492, as Egypt in ancient times, as ey- cry country which had banished the Jews had been punished so Russia must one day suffer the consequences sure to follow ty- rany and despotism. Coroner Levi left on the 9:10 train for New York. His ad- dress, as also Dr. Reeberg's, was entirely in German, and the audi ence was entirely composed of Russians from the German frontier. The edict of the czar for banishment of the Jews is most infamous decree, 50 at variance with the modern spirit of freedom that it should be protested against by civilized nations. The appearance of these short time, shows that they posseasssquali- ties of thrift and wisdom. There arc about 200 such in this city.

rnnIIN NOT SHORT.

The rival houses of Grace and Flint were
s,,rnnsod m he ON opposite sides during the
Cbilian war. the former fayOring the Congress
cional marty and the latter Balmaceda. 30 soon
rs the crisis had been passed and the Govern
ment overthrow there was a curious struggle
between them to prove that Goblin lad Deeh
the friend, not Short. The Flint house under
took % demonstrate that the Graces had been
sbirninp arms and cartridges to Balmaeeda and
that while il had been credited with sympathH-
ing strongly with the losers, 1t had duie lllahy
GOOD turn for the winners. The GnceS en-
phaticay denied the charge OF trading heaVl!y
with Balmaceda, but The Herald apparently
establishes a strong case against them by print
ING fac-simile invoices OF shipments Oh WIN
chester carbines, cartridges and other supplies
At the same time it allows the Flint house the
privilege of exploiting its secret negotiations
with Trumbull and other Congressional en-
vows and of explaining that the power OF at
tornev to take charge of the Itata was obtained
nv Balmaceda at the muzZle OF gun.
This is an amusing controversy as 1t STANDS.
Unless the fac-simile evidence can be explained
away-and the Graces make some attempt IN
that Objectionable. Flint in order to promote
his own commercial interests, has succeeded ii

70 be considered absolutely faithful to the Con-
gressional cause. Apparently both houses whlie
credited with sympathizing with opposite 1ac-
tons, took good care to leave bridge open 1or
retreat in the event of the defeat OF their allies.
With their large business interests on the
West Coast they could not afford to take any
other course. While the issue Of the conflict
was in doubt each house was forced to have re-
course to secret diplomacy, and to place Itself
in position to assert, whether Balmaceda went
down or triumphed over his enemies, that 1t
was Goblin, not Short. If the Congressional
lists had been defeated and mastered, the
Graces might have produced these alleged IN
voices as proof of their friendliness to Balma-
ceda. and at the same time, il they had been
sufficiently adroit, they might also have brought
to light NJ. FlntS secret dealings with the
Junta at I1uique as evidence that he had been
guilty of double-deaings.

intuitions respecting the result of the war, ii
was only ordinary prudence not to put all the
eggs in one basket, but slyly to divide them
and cover up one batch with straw. Each

smaller by S36,576,00O than for the SAM
months of the previous year, decrease Oh aUouO
az ner cont. Exclusive Of the receipts from
sugar duties, there has been an actual decrease
in the amount of duties paid on other imports
it was said that the removal OF the sugar duty
was a cheat. would not benefit the consumers
and would only enrich other countnes or tne
Sugar Trust. The fact is that the cost Oh sugar
to consumers has been reduced more IMAM =
cents Der pound, which means an ac'uai gam
of more than So year for every family rlcn
and poor. A year ago graduated sugar sofa
for So 81 per 100 pounds, and now 1t sells Tor
81 81 per 100 pounds.
II was said that prices of every article con-
sumed would DO enhanced by the new tariff.
The fact is that retail prices to consumers are
almost without exception as low as or lower than
they were under tho old tariff, and this is par
ticularly true of clothing, cutlery, and other
articles on which duties were really advanced.
But i'm fact duties were reduced by the new
tariff on more articles than were advanced in
rate OF duty.
1t was asserted that even if retail prices were
not Immediately advanced they would inevitably
be at no distant day, because wholesale prices
of all products must be enhanced and the cost
of producing everything. But the average
prices of all commodities are this day Abs per
cent lower than the prices of the same articles
and grades in the same markets year ago, be-
fore the new duties went into effect. The cost
Of production, and the cost of living, 50 far as
either has been affected by the wholesale price
of commodities, have been not increased but
diminished.
What has it done? 1t has built and started
numerous manufacturing works, and given en-
ployment to many thousand additional Ameri-
can workers already. 1t has transferred several
great industries from prostration to prosperity.
1t has started many more works on their travels
from foreign countries to the United States.
1t has thus insured greater home demand for
the products of American farms and the work
of American mechanics. 1t has opened to Ameri-
can trade Brazil and Cuba, and will open other
profitable markets. 1t has conferred such bless
ings already that the Democrats who boosted
that they were going to wipe it out at the very
next Congress are now solemnly giving each
other reasons why it would not be best with a
tremendous Democratic majority in the next
House. to try to do anything about the tariff.

GEN DYREyFoRTHS ALLEGED SUCCESS

The absurd, not to say shameless. misrepreSenta-
ton which is INDUCED in by the Dyrenforth party
in Texas is far more seriously hurtful to their
claims than the frequent failure Of their en-
perinents. Thus, it is pretended that the tests
on Saturday last at Corpus Christi were complete
success" because a few spatters OF precipitation
occurred. The fact is that showers of greater or
less violence had already been falling on the
Texas coast for q whole week; and continuance
of them was predicted by the Weather Bureau
at Washington for that particular day. Thus
Nature, to say nothing OF art was already at work.
compelling rain when Lieutenant Ellis began
his bombardment. The record of Professor llar-
ringtons observer shows that as long in advance
as the previous Saturday September 49,. Las
inches of rain fell at Brownsville. nearby; on
Sunday, .52 inch at Galveston; Monday. % at
Rio Grande City; Tuesday, Lao at Galveston. and
26 at Corpus Christi; Wednesday, Rio Grande
City, SO, and Galveston, Al; Thursday. Gal
weston, 2.34 o., Corpus Christi, ~, and Browns
vile, SO; on Friday, Corpus Christi, 1926! The
conditions were not those of steady rain with con-
tinuous cloudiness, but of alternate sunshine and
shower.
The light fall of last Saturday, therefore. has
no value as a demonstration of the correctness OF
Dyrenforths theories. Indeed, had his deputy
lfl-cl0THP,
the fairness of Melbourne, the Australia-Ohio-
Wyoming Kansas experimenter WHOM many look
upon as a mere charatan), he would have post
poned his test few days This is precisely what
Melbourne did at Goodland, Kansas. where he
was under contract to make rain by machine last
Saturday, and where all day Friday there was
steady precipitation. varying from drizzle to a
brisk shower. Had General Dyrenforth accepted
Professor Harrngton's offer TO make tests only on
certain days which the latter should name. when
in the judgment of the Washington Weather Blu
reauJ there was little likelihood of natural rain.
then any coincidence between Dyrenforth's eX-
plosions and q shower would have some value as
evidence But up to date almost the only result
of any significance attained by these experiments
was at Ell Paso, where an elaborate bombardment
of the skies for eight or ten hours on September
| IS proved an utter failure.
