DEATH OF MR.. WEATHERS.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 1.-The off,
cial bulletin of the Board of Health to-
day chronicled only one new case of
yellow fever for the past twenty-four
hours, f. H. Marlborough, 323 Heron
street and one death, r. III. Weathers,
800 South Court.
Mr.. Weathers contracted his case at
his work as a cotton man in the infect
ed district. The facts that there has
been only one new case in the last "a
hours shows the beneicient influence of
thee changed weather. 1t commenced
raining yesterday and rained hard last
night This morning it commenced clear
ing off and colder. The thermometer
has been under sixty all day, and a
cool wind has been blowing from the
northwest. The indications are that it
will be quite cold in the morning, and if
there is no wind, there will be a good
frost. Everybody feels that the epi-
demic is practically over. The chances
are there will be few if any more cases,
and these probably from houses in which
there have already been cases to which
other members of their families have
been exposed.

George was finally laid to rest in Green
wood cemetery to-day. Only few per-
sons were present at the family resi-
dence. The ceremonies to-day were the
antithesis Of yesterdays. In the home
overlooking the Narrows, where Mr..
George had lived and worked, there was
no trace OF mourning. In accordance
with the expressed wishes of the dead
man, every bit of Grape had been re-
moved from the house. The Rev. John
w. Kramer, of Bath Beach, conducted
the funeral service. After reading part
of the Episcopal service for the dead.
DR.. Kramer paid touching tribute to
Mr.. George. He alluded to the fact
that to-day was All Saints Day. and
therefore fitting occasion to commit
the remains Of Henry George, one of
the greatest of latter day christian
saints, to the grave. DIR. Kramer testi-
he'd to the personal religion Of Mr.
George. The power of religion in social
problems was questioned by a man
who was talking with Mr.. George.
With flashing eye, George replied: IF
religion is nothing more than you think
it to be, our cause is lost. because unless
there is reality in religion and we can
appeal through it to humanity, we shall
never get back Gods land for Gods
poor children"
After the Lords prayer had been said
by all, the Rev. DR.. McGlynn also paid
personal tribute to the departed
T. He said it seemed as if they were
standing by the triumphant car of some
Roman hero rather than by the bier of
dead philosopher, and. concluded by
declaring that Henry George and the
cause he espoused were more alive than
ever to-day in the heart of Democracy.
Just after IL O'Clock. the coffin was
closed, taken out into the rain and placed
IN the hearse. Only members of the
family and intimate friends accompanied
the remains to the cemetery.
The services at, the grave were very
short, being simply the burial service
Of the Episcopal church,. Besides the
family of Mr.. George there were pres
ent about 200 people. The grave, which
is situated on bluff in a beautiful part
Of Greenwood, is quite close to the tomb
Of Henry Ward Beecher. Near at hand
is, also, the grave of Mrs. Benjamin F.

to Give the Seals Fair Chance.

that treaty or convention between the
United States, Russia and Japan will
be formally signed and executed at the

fore the Bering Sea conference for a
suspension of Pelagic sealing. The pre-
sent understanding is that the signing

next few days. 1t will represent the COM
pleted efforts Of the conference, and
with the signing concluded the confer
ence will adjourn. The terms Of the
treaty or convention will follow the lines
of the proposition considered by the
conference and referred with favorable
recommendation to the authorities at
st. Petersburg and Toxic. No doubt ex-
listed as to the acceptance Of the Rus
sion authorities, and it can now be stat
ed positively that the japanese govern
ment has approved the proposition and
that the japanese delegates are prepar-
ed to place their signatures to the treaty.
This clears away all obstacles and little
remains to be done beyond the formali-
tics attending the signing OF such an in.
strument. The essential features of the
treaty or convention is for the suspen-
sion Of Pelagic sealing, for such period
as will permit the seal herds to revive.

Strange Tales Are Told Of Our Ancestors

We naturally have very exalted
opinion Of the aristocracy of our coun-

the ladies Of society in the early days OF

any but the most dignified manner. In
deed some Of their descendants would
feel highly elated to know that they in
any wise resemble their supposed court
" ancestors. It is to be hoped that they
are not kin to the personsges referred to
in the following complaint:
One of our early statesmen actually
complains that "between tippee beauS
and fashionable bellies an honest fellow
will stand good chance Of being feeced
by the politcst tissue Of mistakes con.
ceivable. The gentleman will help HIM
self very casually to your hat if it is
better than his, take up your umbrella
with the ncst absent air imaginable,
bear off your looee cont without once
peroeiving his mistake and pick up your
gloves, they SO much resemble his. ;"
And now for the ladies part in this
proceeding:
"The lady will borrow your penknife,
very accidentally put your pocket hand
kerchicf into hcr muf or playfuily take
your ring from your finger or breastpir
from your bosom, all as innocently a!
though it WAS the very thing you called
upon her for, so that between ladies
and gentlemen you will stand good

all your possessions, according to tht
