THE FINAL SHOT.

careful analysis of your correspond ent's article of last week develops a marked difference from the original ef- fusion. We have no criticism for the la- ter article other than that it makes a too sweeping denunciation of the society of the present day as being ''given over to frivolity to the exclusion of the mental discipline and advancement of its mem bership." From this we infer that the writer is one who is disposed to sigh for the "good old times" and if so, we don't blame him. But from a personal inside acquaintance with several modern socie- | ties we wish to assure your correspond ent that the same opportunities for men, tai culture exist in the society of nowa- days that characterized the society of a generation ago and are being taken ad- vantage of with great desire for intel- lectual improvement as that which in spired our ancestors. And if along with our progress in this line, we find some clean, healthy amusement, what harm? !? These societies are not given over wholly to pastime, nor even in greater part. Hence the ''casual observer" who fam , cies he sees the ennobling virtue of ssmen- tai discipline being abandoned'' is, in fact, casual observer, that is, one who judges superficially. Your correspond
 ent's former statement that ssunless the
 mental discipline of it's membership is
 taken care of by the society, the society
 is worse than useless" is therefore moi
 pertinent and liable to injure worthy or , ganizations in the minds of those not fa- miliar with the societies in question. Sc
 far as we are concerned we have no de. t sire to pose in newspaper arguments,
 therefore this will be our last effort.-r. Charles Radcliffe and son have been on

A clever Boston author, with whom Arlo

looking at the faces of the persons present
and OF neglecting to examine their costume
unless with an effort to turn the attention.

TONED TO finding the costume, and especial.

THE ELECTRIC HEARSE.
Changing Gongs and BrealSneck Speed En-
Route to the Cemetery.


Route to the Cemetery.
The San Francisco and san Mateo Elec
trio Railway company has put on IA funeral
car and proposes to carry the dead from
any point along its line to any of the four
cemeteries for SO, or 81 less than the South
ern Pacific rates.
The funeral car created a sensation along
the entire route, the first patrons of the
new venture being the Knights of Pythias.
No. 80, the new electric hearse was side
tracked at the cor rr of Fifth and Harrison
streets a few ni'.-rs before noon, The
preliminary trip from the carhouse to this
place attracted q great deal of attention.
At the corner of Fifth and Harrison
streets it took only a few minutes to col
lect large crowd Ct Sunday sightseers, and
by the time the uudertaker's hearse arrived
bearing the remains of Napoleon Bona
parte LaZard, the deceased Pythian, fully
800 or 800 men, women and children blocked
the street. They surged curiously around
car No. 80 as it stood there waiting for its
silent passenger. When the hearse was
driven up, the crowd drew back re
specially and left little lane for its pas
sage up to the big sliding door in the side
of the car. The six pallbearers who ac-
companied the hearse quickly lifted up the
coffin containing the body and slid it gently
in through the open door.
Then, with uncovered heads, they climbed
in after it and closed the funereal draped
door, The conductor rang the bell twice,
the motormau changed his gong with a
noise that seemed somehow strangely out
of place, turned on the electric current, and
! the dead man started on his last journey.
Meanwhile the mourners, members of the
| Pythian order, had arrived in carriages fol-
lowing the hearse. They boarded an Ordi-
nary electric car that was also in waiting,
and a moment later the crowd drew back
at the sound of the gong and the car fol
lowed No. 80 and its lifeless burden.
1t was hard to realize that the two cars
rolling rapidly along the street lined with
gaping spectators were funeral train-the
shouts of the children along the route, the
sharp changing of the gongs, and partic-
ularly the speed of the two cars, were SO
totally dissimilar to the accustomed sol
emnity of such parades. People hurried To
the windows of the houses along the line,
and few even waved handkerchief, As il
it were "A gala occasion of some sort. At
! Thirtieth street a short stop was made to
wait for a returning car to pass, and in a
minute another curious thrOng was push
ing and jOstling around the funeral car
with the morbid eagerness that crowd al
ways possesses to get glimpse of "A coffin.
After leaving Thirteth street the line gets
out into the open country, and with the dis
appearance of the crowds of spectators the
changing of the gong ceased. Still the
/ speed with which the two cars rolled along
toward the cemeteries gave an undesirable
| sensation that there was something out OF
/ place.-San Francisco Chronicle.

An English woman writer says it is to
be feared that pOsterity will never know
exactly what was the living aspect of
George Eliot's face. Only very great
painter could have seized at once the out
line and something of the varying express
sion, and her reluctance TO have her por-
trait taken, her private person made to a
certain extent public property in that way,
has deprived us of any such memorial.
Future generations will have to draw on
their imagination to conceive face cast in
the massive mold of Savonarola, but spare
and spiritualized into closer brotherhood
with the other FlOrentine of the Divina
Commedia The features might be too
large and rugged for womanly beauty, but
when the pale face was tinged with faint
flush of tenderness or animation, when the
wonderfuleyes were lighted up with eager
passion and the mouth melted into curves
of unutterable sweetness, the soul itself
seemed to shine through its framework
with a radiance of almost unearthly pow
ar, SO that stranger seeing her for the
first time asked why he had never been
told she was no beautiful

TulIe and Wings on Paris Hats.

The first thing to strike one in CHANGING
at Paris hats and bonnets is the extraor-
binary amount of trimming they carry
Hats are miniature flower beds. Roses,
with other things, appear on nearly every
hat. The few exceptions are smothered in
tulle, with pair of wings on either side,
or couple of birds, by way of ornament.
In spite Of all that has been said and
written on the subject, birds promise to
come in again, and, though it be with
many ompunctions, the faithful fashion
writer is forced to tell that if you want TO
be par -icularly chic in the matter of mil.

your Lat with tulle and birds forthwith.

THE SENATE MUST SURRENDER.

President CLEvELAND's letter to
Chairman WILLIAM L. WILSON is cal
culated to stiffen the back bone of tho
House in its stand against the Senate
amendments TO the tariff bill, If the
House needed such bracing aud encOur-
agemeut.
1t is plain, outspoken aud forcible
and means that the President is unalter-
ably opposed to the policy Of the Senate
and the bill as amended by that body.
Mr.. WILSON'S remarks upon the ap-
poiutmsnt Of the conference committee
and his publication 10 the House Of Mr.
CLEvELAND'S letter ara pretty good evl-
dence that he holds the same view as
Mr.. CLEVELAND does and desires the
support Of his Democratic colleagues in
making a irm stand for the original bill
as passed by the House, That he will
be soIdly supported there is DO longer
any room to doubt, and the question re-
solves itself into how to get out Of the
deadlock which will occur when the
conference committee meets again.
There is DO likelihood Of the deadlock
lasting, however, if it is allowed to exist
at ALL The points Of difference are
really confined TO tho policy affecting
raw material and the sugar schedule.
The other points OF difference can, it
is said, be satisfactorily adjusted, 50
there Is actually nothing left in dispute
but the coal and iron ore sched ules,
and as to whether or not the sugar
trust shall be allowed to retain to
a certain extent the protection
IL is receiving under the Nc
Kinley tariff. On these points the
House is firmly set, aud evidently the
Senate will have to yield if the bill is TO
become law.
There is no good reason why
the Senate should not yield. 1t is I'M
likely that any Democrat in that body
will jeopardize his future political life
by standing in the way of the redemp-
ton Of his par,y's pledges of tariff re-
form when IL comes TO tho point Of
voting
The Senate should yield ana yield at
once and gracefully.

4 Card from c. n. Lynch.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 18th, 1898.
10 re Editor Of n. Rs9is,sr
SIR: Recognizing the necessity Of
party unity at this time, and desiring to
see harmony prevail in the rank OF the
Democratic party, have decided after
due consideration to decline being a
cagdidate for the House OF Delegates
from the Delegate District, composed of
the counties of Lewis and Webster, and
will cheeriully and earnestly support
the nominee, whoever he may be.
There are number Of good men men
toned for the place, and one Of the
chief qualifications, in my humble opln-
ion, is that he should be an active, work
ing Democrat, always to be found with
his lighting clothes on, whether he is an
aspirant or net. This is the time that
precaution should be used In selecting q
mau for the place named. BE should
be a man (being the creature of Dem
ocratic caucus) who would be willing to
abide by the action Of legislative eau
Gus.
Whatever lies 10 my power to do for
the nominee andsthe Democratic ticket
will be done at any and all times.
Thanking my many friends In Lewis
and Webster counties, for the many
words Of praise and manifest conidenc Q
in me, have 10 say that 1 only await
the time and place to show my spprs-
citation OF them. Iremain,
Yours truly,
