SEvERAL SHOWS IN ONE RING.
Considering that the price of admission
is nothing at all the program sof enter

mn yesterday was fully worth the price
OF admission.
The Fallstaflian Alderman from Ward 2

the stage throughout every act, and the
Quixotic Alderman from Ward /, as usual,
wasted rather more than ordinary energy
In iabBing at wrndmilIs, and the lily
white Alderm from Ward 10 and Ward
3 got the sulks and the noiseless Alder
man from Ward created alarm by call

converted Alderman from Ward intro

diversion suited TO the tastes of both old

Slayer of q Police Omcer Lynched At
Greensboro, by.
Greensboro, KY, Dec. 26.-Alfred
Holt (coloredl, alias Alexander, the
murderer of Police Officer A. White,
vas taken from Jail by a mob at 2:3O
o'clock Saturday morning and hanged
to a tree in the courthouse yard. The
lynching was the most quiet and or
derby ever conducted in the state, and
few persons save those having business
On the public square at the time knew
anything of it.
A about 2:15 o'clock two men
knocked at the Jail doors and IN re.
spouse to a question from Deputy Jailer
John Ashby, Jr., who demanded who
had knocked, said they had a prisoner
they wished to lock up for safe keeping,
Thus thrown off his guard young Ashby
opened the door, only to face two big
reyolverS. He was overpowered before
he could utter a cry and the keys were
taken from him. AT a signal from the
two men 80 or 40 others poured into
the Jail from the darkness. Proceeding
upstairs several of the mob held Jaiier
John Ashby, ST., captive while two
others moved on to the cell where Holt
and the five other negroes implicated
with him were asleep. They did not
arouse from their beds till the keys rat
tied in the keyhole. Then they pleaded
for mercy. The leader said Holt was
the guilty man, and he alone was want
ed. Pleading for his life, Holt was
taken out of the Jail through the court
house yard to the east side, facing the
Rudd house.
He was given ample time to pray,
when a rope was placed about his neck.
In ten minutes Holt had been ~strangled
to death. The mob was so quiet that
not over ten outsiders knew anything
VI the lynching. Holt had only been
brought here a few days ago from
Louisville, where he was taken for
safe keeping.

& former soIicitor-general Of the United
States. He received his education at a
military school and at Brown university,
where he received the degree OF A M in
1866. He was graduated at the Albany law

York in 1906 and was one Of the origin
ators of the Wide Awake political clubs
in 1860.
He was first United States ccnsuI-generaI

aeting eonsuI-general for Germany during
the franco-German war. After the war
he was appointed by Gen. de Cissey. French
minister of war, to form and preside over
a commission to examine into the destr-
ability of teaching the English language
to the Freneh troops.
In November, 1873, he was appointed
United States minister resident IN Greece.
One Of his first acts was to secure the re-
lease Of the American ship armenia. - and
to obtain from the Greek government =
revocation of the order that prohibited the
sale of the Bible In Greece. During the
Ru~ssio-Turkish war he discovered that only
one port in Russia was stiIl open and he
pointed out to Secretary Evarts the adj
yantages that would accrue to the COM
merce of the United States were q grain

While minister to Greece he received tho
thanks OF his government for his ~effectuaI
protection Of American persons and in

to his efforts after his resignation, the ter

in the gift Of the Greek government. Gen.

congress at Albany, n. Y, in 1858, and vice
president of the one at Plymouth, England,
In 1872. He was the author of an "Histor-
zeal Inquiry Concerning Henry Hudson"

Tribates 20 the Memory 81 Kate Field
Her Remains eremated.
San francisco, Dec. 2s. After months
of weary waiting, while she slept in APP
parent neglect in the sun-kissed isles
Of the Pacific, those WHO knew and
loved Kate Field personally and those
WHO knew her not but loved and hon
ored her for the splendid qualities with
which she had endowed. have had an
opportunity TO pay the last tributes
to her memory. Its doubtful If greater
honors have ever been showered upon
an American woman than have been
bestowed upon Miss Field in life and in
death. Miss Field was patriotic above
all else, and when, some time after her
death in Honolulu, her viii was found,
in which she expressed the strong de-
sire to rest on American soil, Mr.. II. II.
Kohlsaat, proprietor of the Chicago
Times-Herald, in whose employ she was
at the time Of her death, immediately
took steps to have her wishes carried
out. MI. Kohlsaat bore all the expenses
of transportation and cremation, and
viii have the ashes for burial in Mount
Auburn cemetery, that being the place
selected by Miss Field.
The services Sunday were in charge
of MI. and Mrs. Highton. who accom-
panied the remains from Honolulu, as
sisted by the press of San Francisco.
Rev. George Walk, rector of Trinity
Episcopal church and a former friend
of Kate Field, placed his church at the
disposal of those having the services
in charge, and himself read the burial
service of the Episcopal church over the
remains. At two o'clock the great edi-
Ace was filed, for Miss Field had many
warm personal friends here, besides
hosts of admirers. The interior was
decorated with ported plants and ferns.
while the chancel was fairly banked
with floral offerings. President and
Mrs. Cleveland sent a beautiful wreath
of roses and ferns tied with long violet
ribbon. The black velvet casket was en-.
tirely covered with a pail of California
v~iolets, the tribute OF Mrs. George
Croker, of New York. Gov. james H.
Budd's token was a wreath of ferns
with a cluster of orchids tied with vio-
let ribbon. Besides these, Mayor Sutre.
Mayor-elect Phelan, Miss Lillian Whit
ing, of Boston; Mrs. Sol Smith, Miss
Marian Y. Bunner, of Current Litera-
ture; Fl. II. Kohlsaat, members of the
Chicago Times-Herald editorial stafE
and many others, both here and at the.
east, laid floral offerings on her bier.
Gov. Budd and his staff, and Col. w. r.
Shafter, u. S. A, and staff were present
In uniform.
The ceremony consisted of the beau.
tful burial service of the Episcopal
church, interspersed with beautiful
vocal selections. At the conclusion of
the church services, the remains were
escorted to Odd Fellows cemetery and
placed in the chapel connected with the
crematory. Here Rev. Walk concluded
the burial service, the casket was low
cred to the receiving-room and the body
prepared for the retort. This occupied
but a few minutes and shrouded with
an alum-soaked sheet all that was
mortal of Kate Field was placed on the
carriage and wheeled into the retort
