Clash Over the Style of Burial Service
At Henry Meade's Grave.

New York April 17.-There was a sen
sational scene at the funeral OF Henry
n Meade a brother of Commodore
Meade. of the navy. He was buried
from St Matthew's church, and, having
been a soldier, the casket was borne to
the cemetery by a detachment of the
Grand Army of the Republic. On ar
rival at the cemetery gate Father Lee
of st. Matthew's church was Informed
that the Grand Army men proposed to
hold the usual final ceremonies over
the grave of a dead comrade. He an
nounced that the services of the Roman
Catholic church were, in his opinion,
more than sufficient and he steadfastly
declined to get out of his carriage until
the Grand Army delegation had retired
from the scene. Peace was restored by
the retreat of the old soldiers and Faith
er Lee read the usual burial services
without molestation. When they were
concluded, however, the old vets made
a sortie on the gate of the cemetery,
stormed the grave of their dead com
rade, and fired the usual salute, much
to the disgust of Pastor Lee and his
associates.

ARRESTS MADE.
Two Men are Held For the Crime at
Walthan. Mass

Walthan, Mass. April 17.-Con Har-
tigan, the New England ex-amateur
us pounds boxing champion, and John
ny Briggs were arrested this afternoon
on suspicion of being concerned in the
Teele robbery on Wednesday night. The
officers had scarcely completed the
search of the two men, which revealed
$50 and some confederate coin, when a
telegram was received from the mayor
of SOmerswOrth, n. H, asking that
these very men be apprehended The
first telegram was followed shortly by
a second, and that in turn by third
all urging the police to use their utmost
endeaVOrs to secure these men.
The confederate coin was identified
beyond a doubt as having been stolen
from the Teele residence.
After his arrest Hartigan is said to
have admitted to the police that he had
been in SOmerswOrth yesterday. He
stated that both he and Briggs went
there on Wednesday, but Briggs was
positive in his statement that both of
them left SOmersworth at 10 in the
morning, going direct to Boston.
A fourth telegram from the mayor
of SOmerswOrth came late last night
giving the fact that Stickney's murder
ers had been traced to the Boston train
leaving at 2:30 D. m. This may clear
Hartigan and his partner, as the train
does not reach Boston until 1920, while
the men were arrested in this city, Il
miles distant, at ABB.

ICE TO BE CHEAPER.
Storage of Natural Ice Last Winter
Brings Down Prices.

Brings Down Prices.
The family which INDUCES in the
luxury of ice delivered in the kitchen
daily will be pleased to know that ice
is to be cheaper this year.
In Topeka all ice men sell the product
of their factories at the same price
you can call it the result of a cOmbina-
ton, agreement or whatever you choose.
Last year the winter was open and no
natural ice was put up. This year
great deal of ice was cut on the river
and consequently many ice houses
which stood empty at the time last
spring are full now. That may be the
reason that the price of ice is lower.
The price at which the season opens
is 20 cents per hundred or 81 per ton.
The prices last year were 25 cents per
hundred and IS per ton. This reduc-
ton is favorable to butchers and large
consumers and does not concern the or
binary individual.
For family use the price will be 40
cents per hundred, and pehaps as high
as so cents in some cases. If you care
to contract to have 10 pounds delivered
daily it will cost $2.25 per month and
perhaps not more than 81, while last
year the price was $3.50 per month
though there was some fall in price
toward the end of the season.
These are the prices for manufactured

HERO OF A STORY.
Wants $4,000 Damages For Being
Made the Hero.

New York, April IA story written
by Edith Sessions Upper is the basis
of suit for $4,000 damages for libel
which was called in the supreme court
today. The complainant is Col. Tenn
pus Battersby. The defendant is Peter
Fenelon Collier, the publisher.
It is said that Col. Battersby painted
a picture of Lees surrender, which was
offered for exhibition in the New York
display at the Worlds fair. Judge w
L. Sessions, father of Edith Sessions
Topper, was one of the committee ap-
pointed to select the works of art for
the exhibition. Mrs. Upper accom-
panied her father when he went to see
Col Battersby's painting. The paint
ing was refused, and Mrs. Topper wrote
a story based on the incident, in which
her description of the life and strug-
giles of her artist hero We're so Identical
with Battersby's experiences that eve
ry one recognized him. The story did
not deal gently with the picture, hence
the suit.

HE SAW STARS.
10000 New Ones Discovered by DR..
Lee in Mexico.


City of Mexico, April 1.-THE Lowell
observatory, which was transferred
from Flagstaff, Ariz., to Mexico, early
in December last, for the purpose of
observing the opposition of Mars and
for the mea surement of southern dOub-
lie stars, has been dismOupted and ship
ped back to its original location after
three months remarkable service.
DR.. Lee, who is in charge Of the OBJ
servatOry in the southern heavens, an
nOunced that since Jan. 1, more than
300 600 double and triple stars had been
measured. More than half were new,
having never been reported by any as
trOnOmer.
The report will be the largest and
most important addition to the south
ern stellar astronomy since the ObSer-
vations of Sir John HerscheL Full re-
ports of their work are to be forwarded
soon to the Royal Astronomical society
at London.
Among the discoveries are many bril-
liant stars and perhaps so difficult stars

arc. In addition to these discoveries

parable. Prometheus was on terms
of intimacy with the gods. From
them he stole fire, and gave it to

only ate his liver. This grew sgain

Take modern Interpretation OF
the parable. There is no cooking
without fire. In cooking and eating
the mischief lies. The stomach is

woman, she was bad one, and while there
are many thoroughly bad men, there are
very few thoroughly bad women.
It was Gods and Natures intention that
every woman should be the mother of

women defeat this benehcent design by
their ignorance and neglect. They suffer
from weakness and disease IN womanly

measures, to remedy it. DR.. Pierce's Fa-

description. 1t acts directly and only on
