FRANCE FORGETS Her DEAD
IN HER MAD WORSHIP or THE RUS
SIAN SAILORS.
THE WAR SPIRIT Is RAMPANT


Witness the Funerals of Mar
shall MacMahon and Charles
Francis Gounod-Further Trib-
utes to Russia Decided Upon. u
PARIS, Oct. 19.-The question of Civ
Ing state funeral to the remains of
Gounod, the great composer, who died
yesterday morning, remains IN allegiance.
In any event the funeral will not occur
until after the fetes in honor of the
Russian visitors are over.
This recalls the fact that two of the
most prominent men in France died
within the past two days, men whose
deaths, under other circumstances,
would have caused sensations, and
whose demise would, had it not been for
the peculiar frame of mind In which the
capital finds itself, have plunged this
city at least into mourning. Public
funerals, with tremendous display of
outward grief, would have been insisted
upon, and ali Paris would have turned
out to witness the funerals of Marshal
MacMahon, duke of Magenta, ex-presi-
dent of France; and that of Charles
Francis Gounod, the composer of
Faust" But, with the war
spirit disturbing her, France seems
hardly to have noticed that two of
her greatest citizens, the soldier-states-
man, last of the great marshals of
France, and the great creator of musical
masterpieces known the world over,
have passed away from beneath the
folds of the tri-cOlOr. France, in her
mad worship of the Russian sailors. and
in her thoughtless trust in the friend
ship OF the car, apparently has no
thought for her great dead; in any case.
she puts Off their funerals until more
convenient date, and with a ''vive In
Russe" continues to en- avant la fanfare.
No more forcible Illustration of the
tickleness of the French nature could be
afforded than this continued round of
festivities, while MacMahon and G0unod
are lying In state, dead at the gates of
Paris, whose citizens have no time to
attend their funerals until the cup of
pleasure has been drained to the dregs
in company with thu Russian sailors.
Finally it is added that President Car
not has definitely decided to visit TOu-
Ion on Oct. 81, accompanied by Baron
de MOhrenheim, the Russian ambaSsa-
dor, and NJ. Dupuy, minister of public
instruction, and NJ. Develle, minister
of foreign affairs.
The citizens of Paris, as a further
honor to be conferred on the Russians,
propose to change the name of the Bou-
levard Legoutier to Boulevard Avellan,
and as further mark Of the govern
ment's esteem it is proposed to change
the name of the new irOnclad known as
the IgnTpUnIhnrrU yuhioh tc fn hn

ROTTEN CORPsEs
Hung to the Sides Of a Vessel at
Sea-


LONDON, Oct. 19.-Seaman Jenkins.
of the steamer Eta, which has arrived
at Swansea, tells terrible tale of the
experiences of that vessel. In trans
porting Arab pilgrims who had been to
Mecca back to Morocco, he says that
the pilgrims on the ship were so
numerous as to crowd the YES
sel's accommodations to the utmost
and that all were in filthy condition.
Not only the hold, but the decks
swarmed with the pilgrims, and he
gives a full account of sickness and
mortality tnat occurred during the
trip. According to his story, the
deaths from cholera among the
pilgrim amounted to forty daily,
The corpses were not disposed Of in the
usual way, but were suspended by ropes
from the sides of the vessel, where they
hung rotting and sinking until the yes
sel's arrival in port. This remarkable
proceeding was due to the Moham-
medan aversion to being buried at sea.
In addition to the mortality among the
pilgrims, the chief mate and six seamen,
81 the steamer died during the passage.

ST. CLOUD. MINI, Oct. 19-At the
instance of the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company of New York, Judge
SearIe, of the district court. today ap-
pointed Henry Stanton, of New York,
and 2. B. Winston, of Minneapolis, re-
ceiverS of the Little Falls & Dakota,
Northern Pacific. Fergus Falls &
Black Hills, and the Duluth q Win
nipeg railways. The bonds of each
were fixed at $4,000, and they are to
take immediate control Of the affairs of
these companies. In the case of the
Little Falls & Dakota, which runs from
Little Falls to Morris, the petitioners
for receivers represent that the recev-
ers of the Northern Pacific railway have
given notice that that company, of
which the Little Falls & Dakota is a
branch, would withdraw all its rolling
stock oil Oct. II. This would leave the
Little Falls Il Dakota without any equip
ment. The Northern Pacific receivers
were led to this by the fact that that
company had guaranteed the bonds of
the Little Falls IL Dakota in the sum OF
S1,757, 900, and sought to terminate the
contract in this way. 1t is represented
that for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1888, the loss to the Northern Pacific
for operating this branch was s73.20S.
The earnings were S112,000; operating
expenses, SSS, 600, and then the fixed
charges, S96.O00. The contract under
Which the branch has been operated
provides that the revenues of the road
for ninety-nlne years should be sutfi-
cient for all expenses which the North
ern Pacific guaranteed. According 10

REPAIRING A cREvAssE

Young men with more money than
brains, common combination, gen.
tlemen who firmly believed that they
knew how to play poker, and similar
innocents, were their favorite game,
and on the turn of a card thousands
were sometimes staked. Card play
ing, and particularly poker, was then
regarded as the accomplishment Of a
gentleman, and he was the most
Thoroughbred sport who most coolly
could see his fortune disappear at the
card table. Many are the stories
told of the scenes Of excitement,
sometimes bloody excitement for
these were days Of dueling as well as
gambling, which were witnessed dur
ing the famous flush times in Missis-
sippi and Louisiana, and many were
the quarrels which, began at the
card table in the gentlemen's cabin,
were ended by quiet burial on the
river bank.

A Dog That Could sneIl.

A great lover of animals has said
that dogs can be almost taught to
speak. Captain is the name Of a
clever dog which, although he had not
advanced SO far as this, could spell
his own name and that of his own
ers. The letters used in the names
were cut out OF painted cardboard
and placed upon the ground before
him. and with scarcely ever mis-
take he would arrange them In the
correct order. l do not know how
long Captain took to learn this won
derful trick, but l do know that un-
limited patience and kindness were
used in the teaching. The years
have robbed the luster from Captains
eye, and his limbs are stiff and his
frame gaunt with age, but he is still
living, and if he regards you as a
special friend you may coax him to
spell his name.

Down the River.

That indefinite expression, "before
the war" TO the minds Of most men
OF the present generation represents
q period OF time about as far removed
from the thoughts, business methods,
and ways Of to-day as the period OF
Homer, and particularly is this the
case when reference is made to the
old-tlme life on the Mississippi. The
iron rails have made revolution in
every part Of the country, but have
changed nothing so much as the river
traffic. In fact, they have practically
abolished it, for neither the business
nor pleasure of the present can toll
crate delay, and the saving of time
by the railroad over the. river route
between this city and New Orleans
has taken the passenger and freight
from the waterway and transferred
them to the parallel steel lines.
But what has been gained In time
has been lost in sentiment. There Is
no romance about the railroad. The
roar and rattle of cars, the smoke,
the dust, the intolerable screechlng
of the engine, the busy employees who
are concerned about nothing so much
as getting the fares from the passen-
gers and seeing that the movements
Of the train are properly controlled,

off the bar, the spars were got into

to get off by sparring. Sometimes
even this failed, and there was moth

Because OF the peculiar significance
which now attaches to the word
Temperance" we should not forget
that "Every man that strlveth for
the mastery Is temperate In all
things" and that IL Is just as bind
ing on us to show moderation in our
use of the necessities of life as In our
use of its Injuries. Even the neces-
stiles OF life may become superaui-
ties through their quantity and quail
ity being raised to the point Of lux
ury. Take, for example, the food
supply Of the body
1t Is obvious that the body must
have rich, force-supplylng food In
order to carry on its daily tasks. Yet
the fact is often lost sight Of that an
over supply Of food to the body, like
overcoaling the steam engine, Is pro-
ductlve of nothing but waste. More
steam Is made than can be used.
Nor Is this all. In such finely
adjusted machine as the human body
no one piece Of the complex organism
can be overworked except at the
ultimate expense Of the rest.
Not only are we infictlng the
stomach with an unnecessary amount
of work when we crowd 1t with food,
but we are to the same extent i'm
posing upon the other organs. AS 9
matter of fact, 1t is the liver which
generally gets the brunt of the extra
burden, though the heart and kid
neys are also affected to greater Of
less degree.
Among the disorders caused by
this superhuous condition are hamor'
rhoids or bleeding piles.
TO ascertain the proper proportion
between the demand and supply OF
the body, one must consider not only
The peculiar needs Of each person,
but the season of the year. Heat Ii
the unit Of force in the body; but
while force.supplying food may be as
necessary In summer as In winter,
the need for fats, or hydrocarbons,
as they are called, to maintain the
bodily heat is by no means so urgent.
For one who is properly familiar
with the resources Of his own body
and who is not blinded by appetite
It is comparatively easy to discover
to a remarkable degree Of nicely, thu
amount and kind Of food which hi
system requires.
