DAVID HARMON.
Another ofO Brave Soldier
Boys Dies from Fever Con-
tracted at Montauk.

The remains of David Harmon, who
died in the hospital at Philadelphia,
arrived in the city Wednesday and were
taken to the residence of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. David Harmon, on State street,
from where the funeral took place Thurs
day morning. Solemn high mass was
celebrated at the Church of the Blessed
Sacrament, with Rev. Father Melody,
uncle of the deceased, as celebrant; Rev.
Father Lynch, of the Cathedral, as dea-
con; Rev. A. Stroebele, of St. Mary's, as
sub deacon, and Rev. Father O'Sullivan
as master of ceremonies.
Rev. Father Lynch delivered an elo-
quent and touching funeral discourse,
dwelling at length on the many fine quail
tiles of the deceased, who was most
exemplary young man, who devoted his
leisure hours to reading and mental i'm
provement and performing good deeds,
and paid glowing tribute to the bravery
and patriotism of the soldier.
The coffin was wrapped in the stars and

David Harmon was born and raised in
tbs city, and about three months ago
enlisted in the regular army. From here
he was sent to Camp Wikoff, at Montauk
Point, where he was stricken with
typhoid fever. From the camp he was
taken to Philadelphia and placed in a
hospital, from where telegram was sent
last Sunday night announcing his serious
illness. This was followed by dispatch
Monday night conveying the sad news of
his death. The deceased was only in his
twenty-fourth year, and his untimely
death is mourned by large circle of
friends and acquaintance, and the be-
reaved father and mother have the SYM

vanced in skirmish line, and, tell you,
the bushes were full of Spaniards, for the
bullets flew thick and fast. We turned
into an open rice held-not bit of shell
ter there to hide us from the bullets.
Directly there came a volley from the
Spaniards, and we all laid in this rice
field, water covering us all over and
nothing but our heads could be seen.
We got orders to fire two volleys and
charge the trenches. We did, and When
we got there there was no Spaniards to be
seen but some dead and dying ones. l
tell you, John, what l saw l never will
forget saw, as stepped down from
the top of the trenches, Spanish officer
with his head and shoulders blown COM
pletely away and blood and legs and
arms scattered all around. One fellow
laid on a stretcher with bullet through
his throat; the other Spaniards left him
in their hurry to get away. He died be-
fore we left. We formed into sets of
tours and got into line of column and
started to march for the city and forts on
the inside. We divided; the volunteers
went in through the right of the city and
others went along the beach to the left
and by the guns of the Spanish forts
under cover of Dewey's ships, and we,
the Eighteenth, took the center and did
not go very far, for a shower of bullets
passed around us. We laid low for awhile
and started again; we reached the walls
in about twenty minutes. Such cheering
and shouting you never heard in all your
life, for OH flagstaff on the fort fronting
the bay was white flag and Manila had
surrendered all the arms, big guns, Gov
ernment property, and all the Spanish
army and officers are prisoners of war
and disarmed, but the officers are allowed
their swords and are OH parole. Some of
the Spanish soldiers say they lost $50

three or four times that much.

aud no opposition or influence was suffi-
GENTLY powerful or persuasive to swerve
him from advocating the interests of the
masses. As Democrat he was foremost
in party councils for years, and as a Con-
gresham he made reputation that was
national. Like his distinguished father
Mr.. Turner believes that all power is in
herent in the people Recognizing that
public Office is public trust, it would be
his highest ambition, should he be elected
to Congress, to faithfully serve the best
interests of his constituency. His SYM
pathies are with the great struggling
masses of humanity. He honors the dig
nifty of labor and respects the rights of
every man, no matter how humble, who
is making an honest effortin the struggle
of life. He recognizes the brotherhood
of mankind and upholds the Jeffersonian
principle of equal rights to all and ex-
elusive privileges to none. He favors the
weak as against the strong, and if hon
ored with seat in Congress will jeal-
ously guard the rights of labor from the
encroachments of capital and the imposi-
tions of corporate power. No charge
that would reflect dishonor can be laid at
the door of Oscar Turner. His public
and private records alike will bear the
closest scrutiny. He goes into the con-
test clean-handed and that he will come
out of it with record and reputation still
untarnished admits of no sort of doubt.
The Democracy of the Fifth Congression-
al district may safely trust its interests in
the hands of such a standard bearer.
Animated by the one desire to serve his
country and his party wisely and accept
ably, he goes into the canvass with every
qualification to command the respect and
support of the honest voter who casts his
ballot with an eye single to the welfare
Of the people.

Herald. The property given consists of
her palatial mansion and grounds at
Menlo Park, together with four-ffths of
the capital stock of the Bear Creek Water
Company.
The gift involves a great sacrifice. 1t
includes a home where Miss Flood has
spent much of her life, and through asso-
Citations she has come to love the place
and its surroundings. 1t is the country
home where she found sweet quietude
and needed rest. Because she loved it
she bestowed it on the great university,
evidently fulfilling the wishes of her
father, whom she nursed for years, and
was by his side when death came to him
at Heidelberg, in Germany.
Since the death of her mother, a year
ago, Miss Flood found the great house
too lonely. In former days it was the
favorite home of mother and daughter
and was seldom closed.
Since Mrs. Floods death the doors
have been seldom open. The interior
has remained undisturbed, Miss Flood
preferring to have everything left in the
rooms exactly as during her lifetime, and
in giving the property to the university
she requests that there be no changes
made when it is taken possession of by
the institution. All the statuary and
priceless works of art are to remain in
place, and the imperial residence is to be
preserved as a monument to the memory
of her dear mother.
This gift of the Menlo Park property
came as a surprise to the State University.
1t includes the mansion, with its orna-
mental grounds of more than 500 acres,
and an additional tract of 2,400 acres; and
Bear Greek Water Company stock of
much value and yielding steady in
come.
Mr.. John w. Mackay, for years associ-
ated with Mr.. Flood, says that the whole
property is worth more than $1,000, 900,
the mansion itself costing over 81 900, 900.
1t was erected more than twenty years
ago and considered among the finest
dwellings in the world.
1t is palace, standing in the center of
5O0-acre park brought to the highest
state of perfection by the most skillful
landscape gardeners of this country and
Europe. Forty men are constantly EN-
ployed improving the grounds.
Menlo Park was always open to the
public. Any one could drive about in
carriages, visiting every point. The man.
sion is large, substantial and handsome,
reminding travellers of those picturesque
country seats of the nobility in England.
The architecture seems combination of

INTEREST INCREASING.

The interest in the coming fair for the
benefit of St. Brigid's church, on Hep
burn avenue, continues to increase. One
thing especially that is arousing a great
deal of interest is the contest for beau
tiful gold watch by goodly number of
young ladies. Each candidate wants to
win, and yet one only can win, for the
young lady who on the last night of the
fair will have sold the greatest number of
tickets, or who will hand in the most
money, will receive the watch. AIessrs.
Frank A. MEME, Rudolph c. Wagner
and Gerard Alexander-all well-known
and honorable gentlemen--have been
chosen to act both as accountants and
judges in the case of the contest for the
watch.
In our notice of the. fair last week we
neglected to state that the young ladies
of the congregation contemplate having
most interesting fish pond, and that it
will be under the immediate control of

ments for making an active and most
thorough canvass of the district.
To our reporter he said that he is per-
fectly satisfied with the situation as it at
present exists, and believes that were the
election to take place now, his majority
could not fall below 1000, and there is no
reason why this majority can not be in
creased to at least 10000 by November.
He also stated that he will not only re-
ceive the entire Democratic vote, but
many prominent and influential Repub-
Leans have rendered him their support.
That Mr.. Turner will prove an able and
representative member of Congress there
can be no doubt. Concerning his ability
and qualifications for the position, no
higher tribute could be paid than the
following, which appeared recently in
the New Era of this city.
Mr.. Turner is sterling young Demo
crat, and his nomination is victory for
the young Democracy of the city and
county. From a personal and political
standpoint no better nomination could
have been made. Mr.. Turner is lawyer
by profession and has been engaged in the
practice of law for several years. He
ranks among the ablest members of the
Louisville bar, and long ago attained a
standing in the courts and among his
fellow barristers of which many an older
practitioner might we'll be envious. He
has been a profound student of the law
since early youth and his ample knowl-
edge and aptness of research have won
him substantial victories in a number of
hard-fought legal battles. Though modest
in demeanor and studious of habit, he has
acquired a large circle of friends and he
is best esteemed by those who have
known him longest and most intimately.
These many friends know him to be a
man of firm convictions, of scrupulous
integrity, faithful to his friends, true to
his principles and honest and just in all
the transactions of life. Though fixed in
his opinions, he is not intolerant, and he
numbers among his friends men of all
shades of political belief, many of whom,
regardless of party, will support him at
the polls in November. From a Demo-
cratic standpoint Mr.. Turner's record is
all that could be asked by the most exact
ing party man. A Democrat from his
cradle, he has never turned deaf ear 10
the call of his party, but has ever been
found battling in the front ranks for its
principles and its nominees. In the try
ing times of 1896, when il seemed as IL
the very life of the Democratic party was
threatened by foes within as well as by
enemies without, Mr.. Tui..e4 Vas one of

the few brave men in the Fifth Congress
sional district who upheld the banner of
William ]. Bryan and gave unstintedly
of his time and money to combat the COM
bined forces of plutocracy and corporate
greed. In the even darker days of 1895
Mr.. Turner was one of the Spartan band
of free-silver Democrats who stood up
boldly and unflinchingly for the faith of
the fathers, who kept the campfres burn
ing and the banner at the front, and
whose work of self-sacriice was mainly
instrumental in bringing about the ulti-
mate triumph of the old guard of De-
inocracy and the fundamental principles
for which they stood out so faithfully in
sunshine and in storm. Mr.. Turner took
part in all the crucial battles of the free
silver Democracy. He voted and worked
for the Hon. p. Wat Hardin for Cover
nor; he stumped the district for the Hon.
William ]. Bryan; he was the friend and
helper of the Hon. Joe c. S. Bla ckburn
in the memorable struggle before the
Legislature at Frankfort, and he was an
active worker in the campaign of 1897,
when Samuel J. Shackelford was nomi-
mated and elected Clerk of the Court of
Appeals. Mr.. Turner comes of sturdy
Democratic stock. His father represented
the First Congressional district in Con-
gress for many years and was the most
conspicuous figure for a quarter of a CEN
fury in the politics of Western Kentucky.
The elder Turner was best known for his
devotion to the cause of the common peo-
pie. He never faltered in their defense,

Care of the Breeding Cow

Owners of valuable cows used for breed- ing purposes certainly know that the preg- nant animals require intelligent treatment, especially as they near the period for drop ping the calf, but strange to say, the prop CT treatment is the exception rather than the rule, and farmers and dairymen con- tinue feeding the same rations at any time during the year.
 No food of a heating nature, such as meal and other heavy grains, should be given during the last three weeks before the COW comes in, for such foods invaria- bly, induce fever. Feed bran once a day, mixed with some root crop; for other foods give hay and clean well grown corn fodder cut or shredded
 Give the animal all the liberty possible, allowing her the run of the barn yard until the signs point to the critical period being near at hand, when she should be turned loose into stall and have plenty of straw, leaving her alone for at least two or three hours after the calf Is born, when she should have a feed of bran mash to assit the after-birth. After this, milk the COW and leave her with the calf for twenty four hours, when the calf should be re- moved and the COW put back with the herd, giving her, in moderate quantities, water from which the chill has been re- moved, for the first three or four days, and feeding fresh hay, gradually getting her back to the usual rations.

 New York, Feb. 1.-The holiday of Sat urday was followed today by quter cdt- ton market and a small loss in values. The Liverpool market was two-sixty fourths higher on Saturday, but loss that advance this morning. Phis report was considered rather discouraging and prices here were three to six points lower at the opening May selling on the first call at 6.O6. At the decline there was a spirited specula- tive demand, and notwithstanding free Liverpool selling prices advanced by touch- ing 612, the buying power exhausted itself in short while however, and the market became quiet and gradually receded to about the opening figures. May closed at GOT to COS, with the tone of the market steady. Southern markets were bullish re- ceipts were enormous. Some weakness in the stock market over the Cuban situa- tion helped the decline. The sustaining in- f1uence must be, we think, continued big spot demand. Without this prices should go lower.
