A STRIKERS FUNERAL.

Imposing Demonstration at Rettger's
Burial at Cleveland.
Cleveland, O., July 6.-The funeral of
William Ruttger, the striker killed at
the Brown hosting works, was the
most impressive funeral pageant ever
given laboring man. In Cleveland
there has been but one occasion when
there was larger procession and greater
crowds--the funeral of Garfield. Sun
day by actual count 1O,3GO men formed
the funeral cortage. The funeral serv-
ices were held in the Church of the I'm
maculate Conception. A conservative
estimate places the number of specta-
tors about the church and along the
line of march to the cemetery at 10O,Oo
The procession moved quietly and save
for the dirges played by the many bands
no sound save the tread of feet broke the
quiet. The white casket in which re-
posed the remains was literally buried
in flowers.
Eugene V. Debs telegraphed that it
would be impossible for him to attend
the funeral, but that his heart and soul
were with the locked-out employees in

delivered the sermon and his remarks
were not altogether relished In the
course of his sermon he said:
THE body Of this young man lies before
this altar. We know how he came here
Human passion is strange, and the lesson
to-day teaches that we many times go be-
yond our strength. and that there is no way
to reason against human passion. The les
son we must learn to-day is that in society
to-day there are two classes, capitalist
and Wage-earner. Next to capital there is
the strong right arm of labor. One cannot
exist without the other. The capitalist
has the right to manage his capital. He has
the right under the laws of the state and
nation. Ee makes hazardous adventure,
and on account of the risks in business has
the right to do as he chooses. He may abuse
that right and forget God in his enjoyment
of his riches. If he does, there is remedy,
but It does not lie in passion or violence I
speak to you as brothers. The remedy is
public sentiment and the law. There is an
other class, not banded together as you are
They have their individual rights, and those
who administer the law must protect them
Scenes have been enacted during the past
week which should never have occurred.
These men who have became victims Of
your hate have rights under the law"
He coptinued at some length to score
the strikers for the scenes of violence.
After the funeral the sermon was
roundly denounced by many.

United Confederate Veterans Lay tho Cor
| ner Stone OF His Monument.
" Richmond, Va, July 3.-The three-
days meeting of over 100000 confeder--
ates ended Thursdayfin the laying Of the
corner stone of the Jefferson Davis
memorial monument. Immediately
upon the adjournment of the conven-
ton sine die the line of procession to
Monroe park, where the monument will
be erected, was formed. There were
10000 men in line and 100000 people
witnessed the parade, which was headed
by Gen. Gordon, and had in it's ranks
several wellknown surviving heroes of
the C. S. A. The column included every
branch of the military service, and with
inspiring music and national and south
ern colors floating above it was at every
point greeted with enthusiastic cheers.
1t arrived at Monroe park at four
o'clock in the afternoon, and after
brief masonic ceremonies and prayer
by Bishop Cranberry, Gen. Stephen D.
Lee delivered an oration. A benediction
closed the exercises and the great crowd
disbanded. In his GRAFTON Gen. Lee said
in part: ,-.-.s.~ >.as
Eve are here to-day to honor the men,
TOry OF Jefferson Davis: to lay the corner
stone of a monument to one who needs no
monument in our generation beyond that
in the hearts of his cOuntrymen. But we
think it duesto erect one, that posterity may
know the reverence felt for the great leader
of a cause that failed. 1t is fitting that he
should rest here in Vilginia-that greatest
of all states, the battle-scarred producer
Of warriors and statesmen-ftting that he
should rest here among her immortals.
Many presidents, statesmen, soldiers, lie
in Virginia soil-from Washington to the
present time-none greater than Davis, but
more fortunate
Jefferson Davis stood the test of true
greatness; he was the greatest to those
who knew him best. He was opposed to
disunion and did his utmost to prevent
the step. AT the conference called by Gov.
Pettus, Of Mississippi, of the representa-
tives Of congress from the state in 1860
Mr.. Davis declared himself opposed to Sc
cession as long as the hope Of 3, peace
full remedy remained. In calmer years,
when the last ember of sectional feeling
has burned out and the last word of love
has gently bound the hearts Of all Ameri-
cans together. fathers will bring their
little children to this spot and tell them
the story of a pure, great man, who suf-
fered for his people and for the right as
they understood it, and how for this they
loved him as they loved no other. Long
as yonder noble river shall roll its tide
to the sea it shall behold no man more
kingly."
The monument of which the corner
stone was laid Thursday will cost $780,
900, and will be one of the most mag
nifcent memorials in the United States.
The site was donated by the city council.

CHINESE EAT NOTHING COLD.
Their Greatest Delicacy Is Said to Be
Live Shrimps.

Their Greatest Delicacy Is Said to Be
Live Shrimps-
The Chinese esteem shrimps above all
other things, says Pearson's Weekly.
At a well-served table they are brought
on swimming about in a glass bowl of
water favored with oil and vinegar,
which renders the creatures hysteri-
cally alive. With an unerring thumb
and foreinger the Chinese diner-out
plucks forth the struggling fish, nips
off the tail at one bite, and casts the
useless head behind him.
Shocking as it may seem to an Eng
lish housekeeper, the older the egg in
China, tho more perfect from an cpl
curean standpoint does it become, for
no Chinaman who has right regard for
his palate eats fresh boiled egg.
Taken fresh, eggs are sent to soak, after
having been washed in a tub of aromat-
ic water. After time they are re-
moved, and the water used in mixing u
paste of lime and salt, in which the
eggs are packed in jars. These are
Theoretically sealed and set aside to
stand for a month, when they are sup
posed to be fit for eating. Those left
packed in salt and lime for 12 months
or more, when opened, are found to
have changed color, solidifed partly
and are odorless.
The chief care of the Chinese is to
eat nothing cold. Warm or hot food
they absorb in abundance, but rightly
they maintain that cold food lowers the
temperature of the stomach beyond the
point where digestion can continue, and
so the whole health of the body is en-
dangered.
