Senator Coke'S Funeral

WACO, Tex, May 16.-The obsequies
of the late ex-senator Richard Coke

distinguished men of Texas. A vast null
titude of people were present, many hun
dreds being from different part sof the

house will await the action of the senate,
II action is had promptly, and then con-
slider the senate bill or joint resolution
under a special order. The sentiment in
favor of the recognition of the Cuban
insurgents is strong in the house and a
very radical measure might be passed
if the house were allowed free action.
With a senate measure dealing only with
the question of the relief of the suffering
Americans before the house under spe-
cial order, possibility of amendment
would be cut off and the house would
be compelled to accept or reject it as
passed by the senate. The conference
report on the Indian bill probably will
come before the house this week.

MORAL MEXICO
Bull Fighting Prohibited for Very
Good Reasons

MEXICO CITY May 16.-The city gov
ernment forbade any bull fights to be
given today. The authorities claim the
bulls provided for the fights are so poor
they do not justify the price of admis-
sion asked by the management. Enrique
Mercio, Spanish bll-fighter has visit
ed the famous bull-breeding farms of
Atenco and other places, and his judg-
ment is that none Of the bulls shown him
were worthy of the ring. The poorness
of the animals is getting to be a serious
matter, and it begins to look as if bull
fighting would stop for lack of animals
to fight The government is firm, and no
performance will be allowed with infe-
rior cattle. Shipload of bulls has been
ordered from Spain to meet the emeI

It's but the old and oft-repeated story
Thy boat sped onward Ger the morning
sea
GO where, in verdant, purple-mlsted glory,
Thy distant isle of life awaited thee.
Right gladly dIdst thou gaze with eager
vision:
What matter If sad voices sighed: "A
dream
Sweet were the doors from those fields
Elyslan,
And soft the music from the murmuring
stream.
Srieve not because by cruel winds up
roarious
And stubborn currents driven. swift thy
bark
With rushing keel sped by that harbor
glorious,
And fades thine island in the distance

ton,
II truly Of the king thou art an heir?-
1nheriting by royal titles of salvation,
Mansions more stable and more fair.
Know that the mist which blanlxly looms

Hides Joys more sweet, more real; upon

Draw cheerful fancies Of the waiting shore
beyond it.

Pet Spiders.

Spiders are not generally popular
creatures with either sex. Yet a lady
writer aflirms that they can be made
into the dearest little pets in the
world" She tells how she collected
a common or garden spider, and kept
the sweet lady under a glass tumbler
for three weeks. She watched her
building her house of snowy silk"
and raising family, and, says the
writer, "she soon learned to take flies
from my hand and drink water from
a leaf which | gave her fresh every
day" There are, indeed, according
to this lady, few things so agreeable
as a spider, whether regarded as an
architect, a thing of beauty, a slayer
Of pests, or a household pet.

RELICS OF THE PAST.
Ancient Ware Discovered in London
Excavations.

!
During the excavations for the Cen
trail London railway in the neighbor-
hood of the Bank of England several
interesting objects have been found,
which have been deposited in the
Guildhall museum. The only OBJ
ject dating back to Roman days is a
small vase, or patera, of the beautiful
glazed red Samian ware, with the
maker name, in an abbreviated form,
stamped in the bottom Of the vessel,
SA. Alp. + (ecit). This was found
with the necks and handles of some
large amphorae, fragment of NOR
tarium, a vessel used for culinary pur-
poses, and fragments of other coarse
ware.
Coming down to much later
period, the principal discovery was a
graceful and delicate goblet of
Venetian glass, with a richly nodded
stem, which dates probably from the
latter part of the sixteenth century.
This was found in an old well about
16 feet below the surface, with a lit
tie money box of glazed buff ware,
and Delft plaque. This is painted
with a foliate and geometrical design
in blue, green, orange and yellow,
and, from the fact that the rim of the
base has a single perforation, seems
to have been intended for decorative
purposes. Painted dishes of this ware
are to be seen in the Jermyn street
museum; they are sometimes at
tributed to the potteries founded in
Lambeth in the seventeeth century
by some Dutch potters who settled in
this country. Large quantities of
Delft were, however, imported at this
period from Holland. Another ware
largely sent over to this country from
the Lowlands was the glazed stone
ware of which only an imperfect ex-
ample was found, in the shape of an
ale jug, or, as it is commonly called,
a Bellarmine. This specimen has
lost the neck, which bore rude mask,
to represent the features of
Cardinal Bellarmine, who made him
self so obnoxious to the Protestants
of those days; they revenged them
selves by naming the bottle after him,
the cardinal being very stout and
Ground about" The body of this jug
bears an armorial medallion, shield,
quarterly, a lion rampant.
A second little money box has the
characteristic green glaze of the ware
of Tudor times. These little boxes
were often called thrift" and
"Christmas" boxes; the latter name
may account for our modern term for
money gifts at that festive season. Of
perhaps rather earlier date is three
legged pipkin, or culinary vessel, with
a projecting spur for handle and
rim for lid or cover. 1t
is, of course, red ware, glazed in
side only. A two-handled tyg, or
parting cup" of brown glazed Stat
fordshire ware and an engraved brass
spur, both of the seventeenth century,
complete the tale of this hotsam and
jetsam of the ebb tide of time now
safely garnered in the Guildhall mu-
scum, museum rich in relics Of old
London from the earliest period of
its history down to the dawn Of our
own day.-London Standard.

world. Almost every woman believes that
she possesses at least some one attractive
feature and strives to make the most OF that.
But mere regularity Of feature is not the
most attractive form of beauty
Mankind is more influenced by the bright
glowing vitality Of perfect health. A classic
cast of countenance will not make a woman
attractive and captivating, il she is pale,
thin, weak and nervous, or has a pifnply
complexion or unwholesome breath.
These complaints are due to imperfect
nutrition. The digestive and blood-making
organs fail to extract the needed nourish-
ment from the food, and the liver Is too slug
gish to cleanse the blood of bilious impuri-
ties The entire constitution becomes weak
and poisoned
The only perfect antidote for this state of
things is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. II gives power to the digestive and
nutritive organs to make an abundance of
pure, rich, highly vitalized blood, which
permeates the whole system with the sweet
ness of purity; the beauty of womanly vigor
and animation.
1t creates solid, healthy flesh and natural
color; clears the complexion; dispels wrink-
les; rounds out the form and imbues the
whole physique with the irresistible natural
magnetism of perfect health
