When the scriptures had been read, mem
bers Of the Delta Psi fraternity paid a
tribute to the young man whom they had
known in the days when he was an ath-
lete in Columbia University. The first two
laid sprigs of evergreen upon the coffin
in the form of cross. while their COM
rades passed in line and each laid like tok-
ems upon the lid until cross of green COW

commitment service of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church. The body was borne to the
hearse at the church yard gate. The mill
tary escort presented arms it passed
and then wheeled into line behind the
hearse as the procession passed through
10th street to 9th avenue.
Broadway forgot its busy life as the
mourners crossed it. Citizens who had
been hurrying over the pavements stopped
upon the curb and waited with uncovered
heads until the procession passed. The
bells of Grace Church tolled the years of
him who had met death in battle.
In the Grand Central station the family,
the military escort, the pal1bearers and
several friends who wished to accompany
the body to it's last resting place. took the
train for Garrisons, on the Hudson. where
a grave had been made in the plot of the
Fish family in the old burying ground
The Rev. DIR. w. H. Thompson, an olu
family friend and rector of st. Philips
Church, in Garrisons. conducted the burial.
Three volleys were fired over the open
grave by the military escort, after the
benediction had been pronounced. Then the
bugler stepped forward and sounded

whistle in the hilt of his sword. Properly
orilled soldiers of 1898 readily interpret the
signals. Those with the sword are simple:
those by bugle or whistle are combinations
of long and short blasts, as for example,
one one long &C one Halt. Two long ores,

two short ones, Commence firing" One

the line hearing these signals, repeat the

Shell, the officers can make themselves
heard between shots, but their words are
few. AS for the men, the experience of an
observer aboard one Of our vessels at the
destruction of Cervera's fleet is to the point,
He said he expected to hear the men rush
to quarters with a yell and then cheer as
they saw the enemys discontinue On the
contrary, the only sound was the boom of
the guns, the men going on with their
work like silent machines
Yet the human voice has its value Who
shall say that 1t is any less than those
from metal throats? 1t comes when there's
lull in the firing, when bayonets are fixed

they. tried. Seemingly, 1t is the shout that
carries the men onward. upward, over the
breastworks.
We heard considerable about the differ
entiation between the southern cry and
the northern cheer during the civil war.
The former was high-keyed, piercing yell,
the latter deeper-chested 'Hurrah," leay-
ing out of the word all but the vowel
sound. How do they sound now, blended
Amsrica's foemen will never stop to tell.
And Emperor William Is introducing the
"Hurrah'' in Germany as a substitute for
the old-tine, choky, "Hoch." The way he
Is doing it Is by giving the triple "Hurrah'
on concluding toasts and solemn speeches
Then the cheer gets recognition in court
circles and finally is adopted by the army.
The emperor knows a good thing when he
hears it, and America and England-which
country also has the "Hurrah"-can afford
to let him have this without diplomatic in
quiry. But may he and his armies never
be called upon to hear it roll up against the
stars and stripes in battle.

and from there to a height of eight or ten
feet on a tree then down again to the
next tree to a height of three or four feet
from the ground. In this way hedges with
six or eight strands OF barbed wire are
run along for miles. the construction being
SO irregular that one never knows where
to look for the individual strands. The
whole forms formidable barrier.
This style of abatis is popular In all
southern countries, and has been used
wherever there has been a war since barb
The only thing like barbed-wire hedge
used in the civil war was telegraph wire
hedge at the siege of Knoxville.
1t has been said by the Cuban and South
American leaders that the barbed wire is
superior to wood abatis made from limbs
of trees, because the wood can be torn to
pieces by artillery fire. and once down the
forces can march through the breach. 1t
can also be set on fire. The barbed-wire
abatis cannot be destroyed in that way.
and II has been suggested that a dynamo
might make the collection of wire strands
exceedingly hard to handle. But IL does
not appear that scientific methods have
been employed by the Spaniards, and their
wire hedges were simply irregular, obsti-
nate and most uncomfortable things which
yielded, however, to the nippers with
which the troops were supplied.
The large manufacturers of barbed wire
say that while great quantities of their
product were sent to Cuba during the last
two years. they have no means of know
ing how much of IL was used in building
defensive works. They discredit the report
that the American expedition to Manila
carried many tons of barbed wire to be
used in building hedges similar to those
used in Cuba They believe that much wire
will be used for purposes of peace and not
for war.

The spanish Method of Making "Tro-

From the New York Tribune.
Many accounts of the operations near
Santiago and other places in Cuba show
that barbed wire plays an important part
in the defense o. the island. 1t has been
known ever sine. the revolution began in
Cuba that the Spanish trocha or dead line
was marked with barbed wire. but until
the United States troops reached the island
there were only indistinct ideas as to how
the wire was used and to what extent it
became an impediment to an invading or
opposing force.
1t was believed by many that these
barbed-wire abatis were simply wire fences
of from four to eight feet high, but it has
been found that they are not built on the
fence plan. The wire is stretched from
tree to tree at irregular heights. Some

With the modern rapid-ffring guns there's
little firing by men in mass, except when

around the officers and the bullets are sent
in every direction as fast as they can
travel. In the extended order on the
skirmish line, 1t is possible for a man to

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. II
was worst on his chin, alt hough the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
II appeared in the form OF red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had ~scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods S%arsaparilla. We decided to give
IL to our boy and We noted an improve
ment i'm his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles 81 Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and 1t has never sine" rcturncd.'
