The ceremonies were conducted with all the pomp of which the ritual of the Greek church is capable. and with all the display that the Russian court could command
 The streets were thronged with peo- pie throughout the day, and the ut most good order prevailed No acci dents were reported, despite the con- stantly surging crowds, and the troops charged with the duty of preserving order had nothing to do but to put themselves upon exhibition and en- dure the exactions of the cold, damp and altogether disagreeable weather until the funeral was over.
 The correspondent of the United Press, who was an eyewitness, tells the story of the day as follows:
 At 5 o'clock in the morning when the correspondents entered the cathe- dral it was scarcely light. At that hour the undertakers, with screens around the coffin, were preparing the body for the last rites, while other workmen were hanging fresh drap- cries, etc. The light inside the church was very dim. A few massive candles near the bier gave forth fclxering rays of light, but even these, together with the lights hanging before the sacred ilSons, made the whole interior of the edifice scene of glittering magnifi- cence. The pillars throughout the church were covered with silver and gold wreaths, oand there were about 1000 other wreaths hung about the walls. These, with the rich draperies and the graceful canopy over the bier and dais formed beautiful center, all blending with the simple and solid decoration of the cathedral.

do the like, forgive thee, o spiritual child, whatever thou hast done in the fife that now is, voluntary or involun- tary now and ever and to ages of ages. Amen."
 After this ceremony the metropoli- tan performed the same office with the censer and later threw clouds of in cense among the multitude. Holy John of Cronstadt then, in voice treble in tone. thrilling throughout with evidences of extreme age and waning vigor, intoned prayer, after which the consecration of the sacra- ment took place. Only the czar and the members of the imperial family partoolS of the sacrament.
 After the sacrament followed the most beautiful music conceivable. It resembled a Gregorian chant, yet it was in few respects Gregorian. It filled the edifce with almost heavenly strains and brought tears to the eyes of most of the assemblage by the in- tensity of its pathos.
 At noon the guards around the bier were changed, and the priests were rouped around the head of the coffin as the tapers were lighted. The scene was one of solemn magnificence sell dom or ever witnessed in Christian church.
 At 1920 p. m. the massive iewelled Bible was brought to the altar. and the metropolitan proceeded with the mass, which was concluded at 12:5O D. m. After the special service and the ceremony of bidding farewell to the dead, the coffin was borne to the grove by twelve high dignitaries, the emperor, the prince of Wales and the other members and kinsmen of the inn peral family following
 The ceremony of casting earth upon the coffin, as it was lowered into the vault, was observed by the prince of Wales and others of the imper ial fam fly, as well as by the czar. As the czar left the grave, the guns of the fortress boomed, the infantry fired volleys of musketry, the band played lively airs and marches and the troops shouted: Long health to the em- peror."
 Thousands of troops were stationed inside and around the fortress and oc- cupied the bridges across the river and all other avenues of access to the cathe- dral.

The Brewers Fat Horses.

Among the hundreds of horses in Philadelphia used for drawing brewery wagons, one never sees thin or bony animal. They are all big, round. sleek-looking fellows, apparently capa- ble of drawing twice the amount of beer they do. The reason for it is sim pie. These horses are fed very largely on what is known as brewers grain," the residue of the brewing process, a nourishing but unstable product of the brewery. When the labor of beer making is ended gallons ofthese grains in liquid form are poured into closed wagons and carried to the stables, where they are fed to the horses. They are fattening and give brewery cart-horses that rotundity which is the marvel of many who do not under stand the true cause of it.-Philadel- phia Record.

At the Paris conservatory, then under the direction of Cherubini, Der lioz was an unruly genius, and not in favor with his teachers, especially the precise and classical Cherubini. One examination day, Cherubini was run ming over a piece which Berlioz had submitted, when he came upon a com plete rest of two measures. What is that?" he asked, in his usual ill., naturcd tone. "Mr. Director" said the pupil, Il wished to produce an effect which l thought could best be pro- duce1 by silence" "Ah, you thought it would produce good effect upon the audience if you suppressed two measures?" ''Yes, sir" Very good. Suppress the rest; the effect will be better still"

SNAPPED WIVES.
a Curious Case in Indiana In Which "a
Minister Figures Prominently.

In granting divorce to Mrs. Smith
wife OF the Rev. ID. X. Smith, formerly
of Winchester Ind, late Of Anderson, and
now OF Bellefontaine Ohio Judge Eli
son, OF Anderson. closed one OF the most
peculiar and remarkable suits ever
brought in an Indiana court, says spe-
cial dispatch from Anderson, Ind. to
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The story dates back some two years
ago when the Rev. Smith had charge
in Randolph county, Indiana. one of his
pensioners, and nearest neighDOr was
AIRS. Fred Helm. who was encumbered
10y a rather eood-loking husband and a
family. The Rev. Smith and Mrs. Helm
became warm friends. one day the
Rev. Smith confronted Helm ana boldly
proposed that they trade wives. Helm
who had noticed his wife's friendship for
the minister, readily consented. Mrs.
liclm was anxious for the trade but Mrs.
Smith raised the most decisive objections
Smith entered the most decisive objection
To the contrary. Her objections, how
ever were at last overruled 10y the ma
Jority
Accordingly. when all the terms OF the
trade had been agreed upon the two
men called a justice OF the peace. When
the squire arrived every detail of the
exchange was narrated to MIN, and he
was expected 10y some process or other
10 virtually annul their former marriage
and reunite them according To- the new
schedule They had 1t all planned but
the squire doubted mis- jurisdiction in the
matter, and refused TO carry out the we'll
lald plans.
The Rev. Mr.. Smith then packed ,lp
his household effects, resigned his charge.
and taking his family moved to Anderson
Ind, where he located. Ii was not long
until Helm closed out his business and
followed, bringing his wife with him.
Finally the Rev. Mr. Smith de-
serted his wife and brought suit
or divorce. alleging cruelty Mrs.
helm also instituted suit against her
husband for divorce. Smiths case was
the first 10 be tried. The divorce was
denied
After that trial the Rev. Mr.. Smith
went to Michigan, where Mr. Helm fol-
lowed him. Mrs. Smith and Mrs Helm
remaining In Anderson. Since then they
have moved TO Bellefontaine. Ohio. Mrs,
smith filed suit for divorce and Judge
tihSon granted the legal separation. Helm
also has suit pending and il IS probable
that II viii be granted
The strange case has been cosely fol-
lowed by people all over the State. the
