At the funerals of great personages, the
old chronicles tell us, his lively effiRy,"
dressed to initiate life, was carried in u
chariot before the corpse to the grave, then
there set up under "hcarse' or a tempo
rary monument in the church. Such eff
gies were often left In n glass case standing
over the vault where the interment had
taken place Some statues were Of wood,
with heads of plaster, but the more mod
ern ones were of wax. In the olden days
laudatory poems or tpitaphs were affixed
with pins or wax to these "hearses," and
were even thrown into graves, on the cof
fins, in II similar manner to our modern
custom Of flowers at u burial. When Skel
ton, poet laureate TO Henry VIII, took"
sanctuary at Westminster to escape the
displeasures of the then all powerful Car
dinal Wolsey, it Is said that he subsisted
on what he earned by writing cpitaphs foi

not over feet high. He shufled into
the Harrison street court. and after having
the Judge pointed out ambled up TO him
In a bashful sort of way and shifted from
one foot to the other for full five minutes
until the Judge asked him what the trouble
was
"Jedge, what do It cost man fob beaten

"Ile ought to 90 to the pen, replied his
honor.
Don't mean wheah he otter go, but
'sposin he beat he wife an she perfur
charges 'gainst him, what'd II done cost
him"
"lf she prefers charge Of assault and
battery, about sl0 or 10 days"
He unbuttoned his ragged and greasy
Prince Albert, then united few strings
that held an old fashioned waistcoat to-
gether and unlimbered his arm enough to
reach to the bottom Of capacious inner
pocket, from which after much rummag.
ing he brought forth handful of silver
and copper, laid it on the judges desk and
said: Count It, jedgc. Fee suah theah's $

About an hour later the judge was star
tied by the apparition Of bowlegged, jay

room by n hg negro woman. The wom-
ans face was broken with "a grin that dis
played her worries from ear TO ear. The
man was the most dilapidated specimen
that had ever entered the courtroom. His
right eye was bound up his left arm in a
sling, and crutch was under his right arm
He was led mp to the judge by the big
woman and in n meek and rather indistinct
tone Of voice said:

The judge handed him the money, and he
turned and handed it to the big colored

REBELLION IN CHINA.


cities.
LONDON, Sept. "A dispatch
from Shanghai to the Gkobe says a
rebellion has broken out in the
province OF Kan 500 and assumed
a very serious phase. The imper-
ial army has been routed by the
rebels, who have captured eleven
towns. In official circles in Peking
the question is being discussed of
asking the assistance of Russia to
suppress it.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Sept. Sim
formation has been received here
that the Chinese Government has
dispatched General Dun with 1000
soldiers to suppress the rising of
Dungans in Western Siberia.
The reports of the victories Of the
japanese over the Chinese have
only recently reached the DUNCAN
territory, and have had the effect to
encourage them to revolt. General
Dun is notorious for his merciless
severity, and for this reason he has
been assigned to put down the re-
bellion with extreme vigor.

Mrs. Pete Amsterdam of Harlem IL one
Of the most philanthropic ladies on Mani
haitian island. She is always hunting UP
distressed people in order to comfort them,
and it often happens that her kind atten.
tions are not properly appreciated.
Not long since she visited an unfortunate
woman who lived in dilapidated shanty
on the rocks near One Hundred and Six
teenth street. The woman's head was tied
up, and her eye was blackened, and she had
one arm in sling
II hear" said Mrs. Pete Amsterdam,
that your brutal husband beats you, and
| have called to see IL we can not have him
punished"
you are mistaken, madam; my husband
never beats me. We have lived together
Is years, and he has never beaten me yet"
and the woman adjusted her arm in the
sling.
81 am SO glad to hear that | am mis-
TAKEN" replied the female philanthropist.
NO" continued the woman sadly, put
ting the bandage over the eye, "he has new
er struck me a blow yet. He has kicked
me in a dozen different places 40 different
times; he has taken me by my two ears
and bumped my head on the floor or ON
the corner of the mantelpiece; he has poured
hot water down my back, pulled out my
hair by the handful, and he has stuck pins
in me; he feeds his dog in my new Sunday
bonnet, but he has never yet beat me, and
until he does don't think ought to com
plain"
The visitor then withdrew without say.

l people wanted the sewer he might favor 1 this ordinance
 Alderman Pearce said he lived in about 50 feet of the ditch in question and thought 1t ought to be fixed, but as the majority of the people in that vicinity opposed the ordinance he would have to vote against it,
 Alderman Enslen said he worked for the interests of the city and not the prop erty owners, and he regarded the sewer as necessary.
 Alderman Kettig said he had listened to great deal of talk .on this question, and several of the parties went further than he did and opposed the principle of the ordinance; that is, the tax against the property. He thought 1t would be long time before the city would be able to pay for any improvements. He fla fored the principle of the ordinance, which required the property improved by the sewer to pay for such improvement. He had opposed the former ordinance and might oppose this one. He wanted 1t put off for two weeks, so he could invest- gate it.
 MT. Kettig said there had been a great deal of talk about the Southside being taxed to pay for Northside improve ments. Neither side has been taxed for any improvements he said, but the bond holders had put up the money, and hadn't got 1t back yet, either. He said there is strong and intelligent oposition to the or
 
 position a hearing.
 By general consent the ordinance went over until the next meeting.
 The resolution repeating the storm sewer ordinance adopted May 18th, was called up and passed, Mayor VanHoose and Aldermen Enslen, McCartin and Me Knight voting no
 Alderman Mcknight reported that the light at the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham road crossing is frequently out at night.
 Chairman MeCartin of the police and sanitation commission introduced a res olution regulating buildings in the city, It provides that lots or out houses that can be entered and occupied by vagrants or unauthorized persons must be closed and secured against such entrance or occupancy Under a suspension of the rules the ordinance was passed.
 The various officers submitted their re- ports.
 On motion the board adjourned.

lege has lost one of it's very brightest and best assistants, and the medical fraternity of this county and state one of its most brilliant and capable mem bers.
 Resolved. That we deeply mourn his unfortunate and untimely death, coming as 1t did. in the very prime and excel lence of his young manhood
 Resolved, That we herewith tender the sincerest and most earnest sympathy of eur hearts to his parents, bowed down in sorrow, and to the members of their family.
 Resolved. That a page be inscribed to his memory in our book of minutes, and that copy of these resolutions be sent to the grief stricken parents, and a copy to each of the daily papers, the Evening News and the Age-Herald, for pubica- ttion.
 And we further indorse. That he was a man. That he was true to himself, to his family, to humanity and to his God. That he was a Christian gentle man, that he was pure and lovely in his life and that he had even in his young years achieved success and great ness, and needed only time to make him illustrious and noted among men in his profession. That in his uprightness in life, in his sacrifices for charity and the poor in his great and indomitable ener- gy, in his lofty sense of honor. in his re- markahle brilliancy, skill and capacity, he did honor to his profession.
