CURIOUS FUNERAL RITES.
A Greek Archbishop Carried to the TOmt
In a Chair.


A Greek Archbishop Carried to the Tomb
In a Chair.
The death Of the Greek archbishop of
Corfu, which took place a few days back,
afforded an opportunity of witnessing
the curious funeral rites accorded by
the Greek church to SO exalted an ec-
clesiastic.
The archbishop was an old man, and
his death was not unexpected, says the
New York Journal. For more than
month the cathedral had been pre-
pared for his sitting in state" The
breath was hardly out of his body
whenthe corpse was dressed in episco-
palrobes, and, without being embalmed,
taken to the cathedral and placed in q
golden armchair, surrounded with
lighted tapers, with the inter in one
hand and the Gospel in the other. The
ipopulace thronged to the church to
view the body and to kiss the arch
bishops hand. The priest desired to
keep the body there for three days, but
the authorities had to interfere for the
benefit of the public health. The
funeral was accordingly arranged for
the second day. The church bells
itolled continuously, the theater and
shops were closed, flags were hung at
half mast and the street lamps lighted
and draped with Grape. The whole of
the inhabitants, however, treated the
occasion as a fete day, and
appeared 10 their gayest clothes. The
funeral procession started from the
cathedral at half-past eight in the
morning. Three standard bearers with
| church standards flying preceded it,
followed by about a dozen church
beadles holding lighted gilded lanterns.
Next came three town bands playing a
funeral march; then boys carrying ar
tificial wreaths. Thirty-fve priests fol-
lowed on each side, and an officer of
the army holding cushion with the
Greek cross of the Saviour and the Rus
sian grand crosses of St Anne. Then
came the corpse tied to the armchair
still holding the inter and gospel
carried by priests in gorgeous vest
ments, with the chief Greek Of
ficials taking the place of pall-bear-
ers on each side. Directly behind fol-
lowed the Roman Catholic archbishops
and the representatives of foreign pow
ers. The men of the garrison, includ-
ing the mounted battery and the crew
of Greek ironclad, brought up the
rear. On arrival at the cemetery the
body was taken into the church, and
from there to the grave, which was like
a small room. A stone chair had been
built in the middle, on which the
corpse was seated, and hanging oil
lamp was arranged from the arch
above. When the body was lowered
and some earth thrown in, salute of
twenty-one guns was fred from the
fort, as well as three volleys of mus
kerry over the grave. The bands then
returned playing opera airs.

auan. She lives almost alone, having
no,one with her, except niece.
Mrs. Madeline Vinton Dahlgren,
widow of the late Admiral Dahlgren,
lives in a fine house on swell avenue,
and, though an old woman now, finds
life very pleasant with her literary
work and her fine grandchildren. One
of her daughters married German
baron, and her two sons welded into
the wealthy Drexel family of Phila-
delphia.
Perhaps Mrs. Phil Sheridan is one of
the prettiest of the young widows at
the capital. She is tall woman, with
a slight, graceful figure, dark hair
combed back from high brow, brown
eyes and small head well poised on a
straight pair of shoulders. She is slen-
der and youthful in appearance, being
a child when married, about nineteen
years ago, and is a woman of fine man
ners and attractive presence. Her
house is of brick, standing alone in
square, and the interior is cut up into
queer corners and full of interesting
souvenirs of her famous husband. There
are four children; the twins, who are
two girls, still at the convent. Mary,
who made her debut this winter, and
young Phil, who is fine boy of about
fourteen, and a striking likeness of his
father No one has ever succeeded in
winning the heart of the charming
widow, and it is likely that she will al
ways be Mrs. Phil Sheridan to the
American nation.
Nine. Bonaparte, who is the widow
of the late Col. Jerome Bonaparte, lives
in brick mansion near the home of
Secretary Holxe Smith. The front
opens in the English basement style,
and up from the wide hall runs a stair
way, which is flanked on each side by
an armed figure. The wall is covered
with tapestry, on which large bees,
which insect is the emblem of the
Bonabarte family, are heavily en-
broidered. The parlors, which are
large and dark, are richly furnished in
the old-fashioned style. Mrs. Bona
parte, who generally goes by the title
of madame" is a pleasant-looking
woman of middle age.
Perhaps the best known of the
women in town is Mrs. Blaine, the
widow of the late secretary of state
under President Harrison. Her home
is large one on fashionable avenue,
and its interior is furnished in hand
some style with warmth and luxury.

WIDOWS AT WASHINGTON
Many Famous Women Make Their
Home at the Capital.
The Elegant Residence Now Being Built
for the widow of George W. Chnds-
Mrs. Logan's Popularity Is as
General as Ever.

It would seem, writes the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York
Advertiser, as if famous women from
all over the country had decided to
make their homes in Washington. The
wives of wealthy citizens from New
England to California all seem to like
this city of charming society as place
of residence, and the widows and wives
of our famous soldiers and statesmen
are every year increasing IN number as
residents of the capital. Mrs. George
". Childs, of Philadelphia. will soon be
ON our list of celebrated citizens. She
has now a beautiful mansion of yellow
brick in the course of construc tion, and
IL will be finished;about October /. The
house is very large, and is supplied
with every modern convenience known
to art.
Mrs. Logan has a lovely, old-fashioned
home in the suburbs of the city, and
the house is in the center of a big yard
full of flowers. In one part of the
house is a hall full of medals, flags and
hundreds of, other souvenirs OF the dead
statesman. The house is roomy, with
chambers richly furnished, and, as
Mrs Logan is an admirable house
keeper, her home is one of the most at
tractive in the city. Mrs. Logan is n
handsome woman, with a fine, intel
lectuaa face and a wealth of gray hair,
whichisworn high on her shapely head.
Mrs. Saftoris has a lovely home in
this city. 1t is of white carved stone
and has all the interior work of oak,
while the polished floors are covered
with rich rugs and the whole house is
decorated in the light, coy, modern
style.
Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnson's house is
large brick of yellow tint, it having
been 'remodeled last year, when she
bought it. The inside Us furnished in
comfortable style, a big hall first and a
wide staircase running up from tito
the rooms on the second floor. The
floors are polished, and the parlors are
in good style. A good many years ago,

While the Blaine mansion is one of the
finest in town, there are never any en-
tertainments within its walls. TIE
former Blaine house, which was adj
joining the home of Senator Cameron,
is now torn down, and is being rapidly
turned into theater.

Queer Cure for Toothache.

In Staffordshire and Shropshire, Eng
land, they have a most extraordinary
cure for toothache. The sufferer
watches a mole's runway with spade
and traps, and, as soon as he succeeds
in capturing one of these reputed eye
less animals, cuts off its paw and quick
" applies it to the aching molar. In
order to make the cure sure and effect
i've, the paw must be amputated while
the mole is yet alive; furthermore, if
the aching tooth is on the right side of
the jaw, left-hand mole paw must be
used, and vice versa. A similar tooth
ache superstition exists in the Cape
Verde islands and also on the Canaries.

FOR LONDON CHILDREN.
Parks Are Provided with Out-of-Dcor
Gymnasiums.

Parks Are Provided with Out-of-Dcor
Gymnasiums.
The county council of London has been
kind to the children. Thousands of poor
little creatures from slums and over
crowded dwellings are better in health
for its considerate action. The parks
are the great Fairgrounds of the Lon
don child, its only change from the
crowded home and the dirty street.
Here it has its only taste of rurGl
life-the pleasures of trees and flowers
and birds. The parks, however, are
for the whole people, and unless some
special means are taken to attend to
the wants of the children they are like
ly to be elbowed out by others. So the
parks committee established children's
gymnasiums in Victoria, Battersea,
Finsbury and Brockwell parks and
made arrangements at other parks
where only one gymnasium exists that
it shall be set apart exclusively for
children at certain hours. Special at
tention is paid to physical exercises for
girls, and in every case a woman at
tendant is in charge of the children's
gymnasium. The most notable inno-
walton, however, has been the introduce
ton of sand pits in Victoria park,
which are great source of amusement
to many children who have never had
an opportunity of visiting the seaside.
Anyone who knows children knows
that the amusement little ones can OBJ
tain playing in the sand is incalculable.

his speech was vociferously applauded.
When he declared that the Democratic

But they maintained silence a moment

he had an abiding faith in the repre-
sentatives OF the Democratic party and
was satisfied that the state would be

condition.
There were sharp contests FOR the
minor positions In both houses ana
In neither was u complete organization

sreAn MANpAMus CASE.
Has nccn Decided Against the Louis
hmm Planters.

Washington. Jan. S.-The district
court of appeals today affirmed the de-
cision of tho district supreme court re-
fuslng to grant the Niles sugar manu-
featuring and Planting company OF
Louisiana n mandamus compelling Sec
retnrS Carlisle and Internal Revenue
Commissioner Miller 10 proceed under
the law awarding sugar bounties not
withstanding its repeal by the new
tariff law. An appeal TO the United
States supreme court is yet open to the
planters.
The court, in the opinion Of Judge
Shepard, held that the repeal of the
sugar bounty provisions Of the Mckin-
ley act by the new tariff law was inn
mediate and cor. plete and contained no
exception or protection OF any right
held at the time OF the passage OF the
law by virtue OF the provisions of the
Mckinley act. Consequently there re-
mains no duty that the respondcnts-
Carlisle and Miller-mlght rightfully
perform.
The court then made the following re-
marks on the validity OF the sugar
bounty provisions OF the Mckinley
law:
"rhe fact that moneys have been
paid out under questionable validity
can have no great weight under sys-
TEN where the question Is so hard to
be raised IN an cfIectlNe manner BUT
If there had been a practice by con-
gress uniform am generally acquiesced
in our opinion Is so clearly against the
validity Of this Ohe. Mckinley Rct) that
we would not be controlled 10y 4 IN the
performance of our duty. No time. no
acquiescence, no estOppel. runs against
the people under the protection OF our
written constitution From what has
been said ii follows that the Judgment
below dismlssing the petition must be
in all things affirmed and It is so or
dered"
From the language in the reference
Of the court to the aslidty OF the sugar
bounties Chief Justice Alvey dissented,
saying:
II do not, however. deem II necessary
TO decide the constitutional question nf
the power Of congress TO provide for
the payment OF bountles In such cases
as that provided for by the tariff act
of $780,"

lie Was IN Close Touch with Crisp
Al Day.


Washington. Jan. S.-seeretary Car
isle today remnised in speaker Crisp's
private office throughout the 1ftcrnoQn
and saw many men most active in the
currency bill, No effort was made 10
conceal from him the doubt the house
managers had as to the passage of the
bill.
Mr.. Carlisle was apparently hope
Cul. however. and expressed the belief
that the bill would pass.
II was pointed out to the secretary
the probable tactics of the opposition.
This was first an attempt to defeat
the rule closing debate, and failing in
this, TO move TO strike out the enacting
clause. The names OF the prominent
Democrats and Republicans who Ind
combined on this line were given during
the discussion OF their plan. They In
cluded Democratic members from New
York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Nob-
raska, representing the extremes OF
Eastern and Western sentiment on the
currency. The friends OF the ill
reached the understanding that they
would meet the fight on the rule by
Insisting that a caucus was binding
on matters OF parliamentary procedure.
even though 1t was not on the merits
OF bill.
Later in the day the draft Of the spe-
cial rule was perfected. 1t Axes the
final vote for next Friday afternoon.
The debate until then is to be under

will be opened at the opening OF the

FINANCIAL TALK
The Senate Fun of lt--What Jones OF
Arlsnnsns snyn.

Washington, Jan. s.-There has been
more financial talk about the senate TO-
day than during any time during the
session. 1t has been stirred up great
deal by the recent publications In the
newspapers Of various schemes OF cur
rency reform, and the near approach OF
q vote in the house on the pending bill.
Senators who have predicted hereto
fore that there would be no currency
legislation talked In more favorable
way today, and limited at possibility
that something might be done, though
they did not know just why or whct.
Senator Jones of Arkansas was asked
81 he was of the opinion that there
would be no currency legislation. lie
answered;
81 do not think there is probability
of legislation. It Is possible, however.
that conditions may arise which Will
bring a good many diverse views to-
gether on common grounds and that
the legislation without political or per-
sonal advantages, purely patriotic In
its nature, might be enacted. i do not
think this ia probable. For my own
part 1 would sacrifice n great deal to
get on that common ground"
sue tEg,JJa
Yes, even TO n bond issue"
what else would be necessarily"
ave would have to do something for
silver. We could not legislate on the
currency question without doing some
thing for silver"
"Do you consider the necessity great
for currency leglslation?'
"Most emphatically. The condition OF
affairs though may induce the senate
TO do something; may induce the house
TO accept something that win tide the
country over"
Senator Jones said this feeling was
shared by many other senators II Is
such sentiments as these which have
been freely expressed today that has
given an indication or inclination to-
wards some financial legislation as IL
seems possible Eastern as well as
Western men have talked in this strain
today, and II is thought that possibly
1t might be done.
