Grand Army of the Repub- lie. of which deceased was distinguished mt mber. entered the sacred edi6ce in a body. and took ses Is among the congrega- ton of praying friends of deceased. Al though Hurlburt Post is almost entirely composed of men not of the Catholic faith to the observers, ignorant of that fact. it would have seemed as If every one of the venerable soldiers were communi- cants of the church.
 The service over. the post headed by the pastor. and all preceded Ly band of music, solemnly procaeded to the French Catholic cemetery, where after the custo- mary prayers on such occasions. beauti- ful and we'll deserved eu!ogy of the old | soldier. by the commander. Attorney Joseph Montefiore, was delivered.
 "Nr Hebert was born in 1924. He married a Miss Marguerite Loupret, and of tLls union five children were born. of wLom four are yet living namely, o ,ile, ! now Mrs W. $ Norwich, William A. and
 l. ss A. now Mrs Nj. Aubertin. all of whom reside in Waterbury, Conn. and | Charles II at present resident of New York city.

Tillman AIRS His Opinions.

CONCORD, N. c., Aug. 14.-Sena-
tor Tillman spoke yesterday in
front of the court house to an audi
ence of about 700 or 800. Tillman
said he was Democrat, but il the
presidential nominee was not an
unquestionably simon pure silver
lite he and his South Carolina fol-
lowers would go elsewhere. He
spoke Of many of the Populist
principles as crazy and foolish. He
made a special plea for white
supremacy. He wanted the Popu-
lists to give up local strife for small
offices and join in the effort to get
the southern Democrats and west
,ern Republicans united in the fight
for free silver. In this connection,
he says, he will not be satisfied
with a presidential nominee on
this side of the Mississippi river.

THE LONDON SPORTSMAN
Figures Out An Even Thing for the
Americans in the Two
Contests,

LONDON, Aug. l4.-The Sportsman
has an article this morning, a col
umn in length, discussing the rela-
tive chances of the London Ath-
letic club and the New York Ath-
letics in their coming contest. The
writer thinks the former ought to
win the quarter and the half mile,
the three mile and the 100 yard
races, while the hammer throwing
and the long jump are good things
for the Americans, and the others
are doub tful. at will be a battle of
giants" the article says, "and we
are confident that the London Ath.
letic club will secure seven events
out of the eleven. With regard to
the Cambridge versus America
contest, the quarter mile and the
mile are certainties for cambridge;
the hammer throwing, the weight
putting, both jumps and the 100
yard race are secure for the Yales,
and others are doubtful, and 1t is
probable that Yale will win the
odd event, and possibly seven out
of the eleven"

tenders, beer jerkers and in fact
everyone whom they caught in the
place. The arrests numbered forty
seven. The police captured the
people in all parts OF the building.
