a LARGE FUNERAL. ALL AROUND.
The Corpse Weighed 600 Pounds and Was
slid Down Stairs ON "a Plank.

slid Down stairs on IA Plank.
There was large crowd of people pre-
sent at Tenth and Berks streets, Philadvl-
phia, recently, to witness the funeral Of
Mrs. Ellen Cleary. The reason for the
great crowd was the fact that the dead
woman weighed 600 pounds, and it was
expected that much difficulty would be ex-
perienced in removing the remains from the
house to the hearse, The expectation was
fully realized The body was encased IN
a magnificent eothcovered casket of mas
sive proportions. When the final leave
taking was over, and the top placed upon
the casket, which was in the second-story
front room, over the saloon kept by the
son of the deceased at the northwest
corner of Tenth and Berks streets, twelve
stalwart young men, friends Of the family,
were called upon to remove the remains
The undertaking proved to be one OF
great difficulty, as the size of the Casket
and unusual number of pail bearers made
it impossible TO carry tine body down
stairs. Finally a stout plank was laid
upon the stairs and stout rope fastened
round one end of the Casket Halt the
number of pall-bearers then took hold of
the other end, while the remaining num-

structed to take hold of the bottom of the
casket as the strong looking, richly mount
ed handles would not sustain the weight.
Standing alongside the curb was the larg-
est hearse in the city, TO which were at
tached four large coal black horses. tire
qUired tie utmost exertiOns of the pail
bearers with the assistance of several
hackmen to raise the easIlet TO a suf.
ficent elevation to enable them to slide it
INTO the hearse. This done the funeral
cortege slowly moved to st. Malachi 3
church, Eleventh street above Market,
where another immense crowd of curious
people kept several policemen busy in pre-
serving order. To remove the body from
the hearse and up the steep steps, com
pletely exhausted the pail bearers, and
when, finally the massive casket was
placed upon bier just inside the door,
they were painting for breath and per
spring profusely The bier, resting upon
wheels was rolled lip the main aisle TO
the steps of the sacrlsty and several mag
nificent floral designs placed upon It.
After the services had been concluded the
casket was again placed upon the bier and
wheeled to the front door wherce the
body was, after a severe effort, placed in
the hearse. At the cemetery the same
difficulty was experienced in lowering the
immense casket.

here is Curiosity OF the Genuine bird
Kingdom.

There's a wooden legged sparrow that
makes his home in Bryant Park, New
York at least he was there on the after
noon. when the writer happened to drop
into one of the seats. lie flew down and
alighted on the graveled walk in front of
me and viewed him with establishment.
Lashed to one of his legs was a stout little
peg. and the way he hobuled about on Ii
was ludicrous in the extreme. The claw
and leg, up to the knee, as one would
call it, was gone and the peg leg was
split in the middle so that piece rested
on either side Of the Aeshy part o. the
limb. It was evidently bound on BY
silk securely wound and neatly tied The
little fellow was as lively and frisky as any
of the other sparrows, as was demonstrate ed
when one triae larger ATTEMPTED to drive
him away from a erumu which he had
found. lie pecked back yiciously and the
intruder sought safety In Hight Pretty
soon he gave a final twitter and flew away
with his wooden leg stuck out behind
him. The unsoiled condition Of the artl-
fetal limb caused me to think he hadn
been out of the hospital long, and if the
good Samaritan who treated the little I'M
fortunate, chances to see this, he or she
can rest assured that the patient is hale
and hearty and quite likely to live out the
day allotted to sparrow life.

ALWAYS A RIVER TO CROSS.

There's always river 10 cross,
Always ane fort TO make
If there's anything good 10 win,
Any rich prizes 70 take,
Yonder's the fruit we crave,
Yonder the charming scene;
But deep and wide with troubled tide
Is the river that lies between.
For the treasures OF precious worth
We must patiently dig and dive;
For the places we long TO fll
We must push and struggle and strive,
And always and everywhere
Wen flLd in our onward course
Thorns for ihe feet and trials to meet
And a difficult river 10 cross.
The rougher the way that we take,
The stouter the heart and nerye
The stones in our path we break,
Nor e'er from our impulse swerye,
For the glory we hope TO win
Our labors we count no loss
It's fclly to pause and mUrmur because
OF the river We have TO cross.
So. ready to do and dare,
Should we In our places stand,
Fulfilling the Masters will,
Fulfilling the souls demand
For though as the mountain high
The pillows may rear and toss,
They'll not oyerwhelm If the Lords al tn,
helm
When the difficult river We cross.

S. A. OWENBY'S STORY
He Tells How the Silver Pool
Materialized.
Shelters and Silver Producers Pro rated the
Great Expense of Forcing the Legtsla-
ti0n-WhO the Customers Were.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-J. A. Owenby, wanted
by the silver pool investigating committee,
talked at some length to the representative
Of local paper about the matter He says
the pool commenced Undertaking. at the
time Senator. Jones presented and urged
the silver bill. 1t was manifestly for the
interest of the shelters and silver pro-
ducers to organize and they did SO
The members of this pool pro-rated the
great expense of forcing this legislation.
The Work was done through professional
lobbyists and private agencies. The party
at once commenced buying silver at 94(d95.
and it was promised it would reach ESQ
129 if the bill passed. Members of Con-
gress were offered opportunities to pur-
chase. The brokers and agents of the pool
agreed with their "customersn to buy sill
yer and hold it for them, putting up the
margins themselves and giving such 'cus-
toner's the natural profits resulting from
the impetus of legislation, frequently with
out the name of the customer appearing
on the books.
Speaking of Wells. Fargo & Co.'s agent
Parsons testimony that no government
officials had been dealing with his firm,
when asked why the committee didn't de-
mand his brokers' accounts and find WIZ m
they were dealing with, he intimated some
thing startling would come out before
long.
