In the San Fernando Valley, ten or eleven

In an alfalfa field, oozing from the ground,

New Orleans, Nov. 13.-The following

Messing what is called ga gay funeral"
according to paradoxical phrase, re-
ports the London Telegraph. Mr..
Ferret, resident in that SUBJ
urban borough for many long years,
died recently at the age of 80. He left
instructions in his will that the local
brass band should be engaged for his
funeral, and that lively music was to
be played during the journey to the
graveyard. The octogenarian's rela-
tives fulfilled his wishes to the letter.
In the black-bordered invitations to the
interment sent out by them they an
nounced the names of the airs to be
heard during the funeral AS the COR
tege started for the cemetery, the band
struck up the appropriate "Chant du
Depart" to the intense establishment
of the master of ceremonies sent by the
Pompes Funebres, who knew nothing
about the last wishes of the deceased
octogenarian in the matter of music.
Then the bandsmen played series of
pollSas and mazurkas, and wound up at
the cemetery with the "Marseillaise. !"
After the funeral all adjourned to a
tavern, where drink was ordered in
abundance. The instrumentalists, hav-
ing been refreshed, played more lively
music and then everybody returned
home, apparently satisfied with the
days outing. This is the third funeral
OF the kind which has been organized in
France within the past 10 months.

Coal Mines Shut Down.

Philadelphia, Nov. 10. The Record
says in their efforts to bolster up the
hard coal trade the anthracite presi-
dents have called halt on the rate of
production, and every colliery in the
Schuylkill region shut down Friday.
The length of the time they will re-
main closed could not be definitely
stated at the Reading railway offices,
but it was said that some of them would
probably start up next week on educed
time. The Lehigh Valley railroad, in
order to meet the reduction, has ordered
its collieries on three-quarter time, and
the other companies have also taken
steps to curtail production.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-Eight thousand
people comfortably filled the Coliseum
Friday night and cheered the cycling
cracks from all parts of the country,
who put up some fine sport. The last
event was 15-mile race between James
Michael the Welshman, and i. A. Nc
Duffie, of Boston, the winner to get
$1,000 and the loser $780, Michael won,
going the Is miles in 31:O7 rs, beating
the record, 32:40, which was held by
Tracy Holmes, of Chicago. McDuffie
was badly hurt in the fifth mile. His
wheel struck the rear of his pacing
triplet, and, falling heavily, he slid so
feet along the track and rolled off into
the Enclosure. He could not stand
when picked up, but after vigorous
rubbing and the administering of slim
ulants he pluckily remounted his wheel.
1t was evident, however, that he could
not continue the race, and in the
eighth mile he retired.

BOLIVIA IN DANGER.
Reported Plot to Seize and Divide
Her Territory.

New York, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso, Chill, says:
~ plan for n dreibund of Chilli, Peru and
Argentina is in existence, which, if
adopted by the three governments, will
wipe Bolivia off the South American
map, Chilli. Peru and Argentina divid-
ing her territory.
Startling us this statement is, there
nre many who are inclined to give it
credence. Without doubt some inter-
national step of Importance is under
contemplation. Chill and Peru have be-
come entangled with Bolivia, and what
the result will be no one can tell.
Reasons for all the feelings against
Chill are to be found in the rebellion
of 1901, and its bearing on the Ancion
treaty. The rcvolutionists promised
to Bolivia, If she would recognize the
belligerency of the rebels, that il they
were victorious they would give to
Bolivia two years after victory the two
Peruvian provinces Tacna and africa,
held temporarily by Chill under the An.
cion treaty.
More than six years have elapsed
since the victory of the revolutionists
and Chill has not fulfilled her promise,
for the reason that by doing so she
would trample on the treaty Bolivia
now insists on the fulfllment of this
promise which Chill holds is illegal.
In the meantime Chill has recalled
Senior Lira, the minister of Chill to
Peru, who belonged to the revolution
ary party, and has sent Senior Vivente
Santa Cruz, q Balmacedist, there with
instructions to sound Peru on an ALI.
ance against Bolivia, against which
government Peru has many grievances.
The plan is to bring about a war with
Bolivia and for Pcru's assistance Chill
promises to return to Peru The
provinces of Tacna and africa, without
putting the question to a popular vote.
or demanding of Peru the 100000
soles ransom, as provided in the
Ancion treaty. Chill is also prepared
to furnish Peru with all necessary arms
and munitions to carry on II war with
Bolivia.
In this connection the dreibund
against Bolivia is being considered.
Argentina, it is said, will be invited into
the alliance to give strength to the
movement.
