A Feast at a Funeral.

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. ga multitude of
5000 was fed at the funeral of Rev. John X.
Brubaker, preacher of the Mennonite faith,
which was held at his home, in Roherstown,
this county, yesterday,
No such crowd has ever before been seen
at the obsequies of resident here in many
years, even among the sect of which the dead
preacher was shining light, and which is
famous for turning out in immense numbers
at the burial of its members, and especially of
its ministers. People drove from all sections
of the county to pay the last tribute to the
dead, and in the funeral procession were more
than 1900 vehicles.
There were several bishops of the denomi-
nation present The crowd was so dense that
three separate religious services were in pro-
gress at the same time, one in the Mennonite
church, one in a schoolhouse, and an overflow
meeting in the open air.
After the burial the immense body of
mourners, conservatively estimated at 5000,
partook of banquet which was spread in the
basement of the church. 1t took several
hours to serve the funeral feast.

Mudd Again.
From the Baltimore News.


The denomination of Congressman Sydney
E. Mudd by the Fifth District Republicans
has been discounted for some time, and,
therefore, occasions no surprise. Mr.. Mudd
has served several terms in the House of Del
egates and is now finishing his second term
as member of the lower house of Congress.
During his public career he has been noted
for his INSCRIPTIONS use of the party patron
age and for his ability to raise large sums of
money to be used in his campaign. Few
matters of public interest have been advanced
at Washington or Annapolis by Mr. Mudd's
influence, and his presence at either capitol
has not been thing for the people Of his
county or his district to view with special
pride. That the Republican party continues
to tolerate and honor him is serious retiec-
ten on it.
Mr.. Mudd owes his strength in Southern
Maryland to his skill in catering to the lowest
and most ignorant class of voters, and in his
ability to provide offices for enough intelli-
CERT but INSCRIPTIONS men to control the
party machine. The nomination of strong
man of high personal character by the Demo
Gratis this year ought to result in his over
throw in November.

Sensations in Europe.

All Europe has been twice stirred this week.
The first cause was proposal to the powers
for a partial disarmament of their military
establishments and the establishment of an
international board of arbitration to which
all disputes should be submitted. The pro-
posal was from the Gar of Russia and well
received.
The second sensation was the confession Of
Col Henry that he forged a paper that was
largely instrumental in securing the convic
ton of Capt. Dreyfus of selling maps of
French Notifications to the German govern
ment. Dreyfus was sentenced to imprison
ment for life on DEVILS Island. After max
ing the confession Col. Henry committed
suicide and Gen. Bosaffre, chief of the gen.
eral staff of the French army, has resigned.

Probably Another Failure.

Some people in Baltimore are now moving

wares. Baltimore had great international
exhibit we'll under way, but it went to pieces
while the county press was ably supporting it
and number of county people had put their
money into the enterprise and many more
had agreed to lend financial aid. The county
people will have to see the exhibit before
they pay much attention to it, after the mis-
cradle fizzle of the Centennial Exposition.

War Dispatches.

The burden Of dispatches in reference to
the army and navy are sickness, deaths from
disease, lack of medical supplies. unhealthy
camps and general row about army regula-
lions and seniority. The relations among a
number of officers of both branches of the
service are strained, and Secretary of War
Alger is catching it from both and the press.
Investigations and court martials by the
score are talked.

Baker Nominated.

The Hon. VIM. B. Baker was nomina ted
for third term in the House of Representa-
tives by the Republican convention of the
second congressional district on Thursday.
A string of resolutions were adopted, one
endorsing the congressional record of Mr..
Baker. We would like some Republican
newspaper in the district to tell what that
record is. In fact we challenge the produc-
ton from the Congressional Record any SER
vice Mr.. Baker performed that any school
boy could not have performed.

An Old Joke.

The old joke of dismissing employees rom
the Baltimore Custom House on account of
falling off of business and of abolishing other
positions because they we're useless, has just
been practiced by Collector Stone. 1t is an
old trick to evade the civil service law, which
should be binding as long as it is on the stat
ute books. AS result of Collector Stones
Joke some ten or fifteen Democrats were
dropped from the pay rolls on September 1st.
1t seems strange, but we have to accept the
Collectors opinion, that not single Repub-
lican was holding place that was not neces-
sary for the good of the service.

DR.. Nicholas Sem, Assistant Surgeon Gen
eral, United States Army, is quoted as saying
that unless Camp Wikoff is cleared ont in six
weeks it will be the worst infected place in
United States He says he warned the Wash
ington authorities that the water supply at
Montauk was insufficient, but his protests were
unheeded.
General Miles's recent utterances resenting
the interference with him while in front of
Santiago by the Secretary of War have raised
"A question which, it is believed Unjust result
in court of inquiry to fix the responsibility
for the laundering and general mismanage-
ment in connection with the Santiago cam

Herring for Congress.

The county convention delegates Tuesday
were of one mind as to the desirability and
necessity Of nominating as our candidate for
Congress the best man in the district who can
be induced to serve, regardless of the city or
county from which he halls. With this OBJ
iect in view the convention selected five rep
resentative citizens as its delegates and left
them free to act with the delegates from the
other counties as they may consider for the
best interests of the party. The feeling was
general that Candidate Talbot should not be
nominated and that DR.. Herring should, if he
can be induced to accept. If their conferees
are ike-minded the convention that meets in
Elkton on the 18th proximo will nominate
the next member Of Congress from the second
district

Heat and Crime.

From the Philadelphia North American
The records of June, July and August
again show that heat, suicide and homicide

may not agree, the facts are there. 1t is no.
table, too, that hot weather suicides are most
ly young ana healthy persons, which little
thought will show is not SO remarkable after
all. Weak persons stand intense heat with
more resignation than others. The casual
observer will notice that the stronger the
constitution the greater is the irritation
ccused by unusually warm weather, except IN
exceptional cases. 1t is this irritation that
in some leads to suicide and in others to
homicide A vigorous and normally peaceful
citizen becomes quarrelsOme. His nerves
give way under the strain of prolonged heat,
and he becomes excitable and irascible. If a
man has only the respect for the law that fear
gives him. this is the time that private venge-
ance will assert itself. If he has a grudge
against anybody, he is likely to seek his re-
venge while in this state of mind. 1t is the
same with those who have suicidal tendency
which has been lying dormant. The irrita-
ton caused by the heat develops it, No mat
ter whether crminologsts disagree or not,
the hot weather always brings its wave Of
