Long before the hour namad for the

the magnificent music which peaied
through the open windows III narmonl-
GUS Strains, blending the soHo1ous diapa-

choir.
After a period of silent devotion, the
Tooth Psalm was rendered by the choir as
an anthem. Then followed prayers in
Hebrew, chanted by the minister, con-
GLIDING the first part OF the seVice The
most impressive part of the ceremonial be-
gan with the reading Of The Scriptures.
Prayer was then offered and ar its CON

LEASED BY THE SOUTHERN.
Louisville. Evansville and ST. Louis
Woven Into the system.

Another large railroad deal was con-
summated yesterday by the Southern
Railway, with head offices In this city.
AS is well known the Southern has been
absorbing smaller roads throughout the
South for number of years until its
mileage now embraces between 5000 and
1000 miles
The Southern has leased the Louisville,
Evansville and St. Louis road, extending
from Louisville to St. Louis. a distance
of almost 800 miles. This gives the
Southern an entrance INTO the West It
has been for some years the controlling
spirit in the Cincinnati Southern, extend
ing from Chattanooga to Cincinnati. with
branch line running from Lexington,
KY. TO Louisville known as the Louis
vile Southern.
In the consummation of this deaf the
Southern also becomes the practical
owner of the Indiana Bridge Company
bridge that was built some ten years ago
crossing the Ohio River at New Albany,
Ind, a few miles below Louisville
The Louisville. Evansville and St. Louis
road was for long time opera-ed under
the management of D. ]. Mackay as
president. At that time Mackay was one
OF the richest men in Southwestern In
diana. His home is in Evansville and he
was known then as the king of the city.
Mackay was also president Of the Evans
Vile and Terra Haute road the Peoria
Decatur and Evansville. and the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois He had also one OF
the largest dry goods houses that there
was in his section of the country. Mr..
years ago, and is today the steward in
the ST. George Hotel in Evansville at a
salary of 500 a year.
The leasing of the Louisville, Evansville
and ST. Louis road by the Southern makes
two roads that have been absorbed by
that system within the last four months.
The previous one was the Memphis and
Charleston, extending from Chattanooga
TO Memphis, and embracing almost 400
miles.
With these new acquisitions il practical
ly gives the Southern road control of the
entire Southern country. At some points
it has the Louisville and Nashville to
compete with, and at others the Illinois
Central. but as the matter stands now
there are but three railway systems in
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Mississippi. with the Southern the
master of the situation

army of the United States, larger than the
number of railroad employees OF any other cOun-
try, is essentially army of peace, and it is
steadily growing at a rate larger than the rail-
roads themselves, taking the mileage as a
measure OF their Importance.

THE GERMAN AMBASSADOR,
His Departure for Home mt Thi.
Time Regarded as Significant.

4.
Mudh comment is heard here over the
departure the other day of the German
ambassador for Carlsbad a little in ad-
vance of the time set for the sailing OF
the United States Peace Commission for
Paris.
1t is strongly intimated that the Ger
man government suggested that he be
within easy reach of Berlin, so that he
could be consulted in the event things dc
not go to suit the German government
when the Americans and Spaniards reach
conclusions regarding the Philippines.
1t is well known fact that Germany
has beeen decidedly covetous on the ques-
tion of didviding those islands, and should
our own government decide finally to de-
mand only Luzon ii may be that the
Kaiser may step in and take a selection
himself
The French ambassador has also an
nounced that he will leave for home on
brief vacation, and is expected to reach
Paris shortly after the arrival Of the
Peace Commissioners. This is also looked
upon here as significant.

misfortune that the largest measure of respon.

of hundreds of thousands of citizens, was
thrown upon him. When the war broke out he
should have been replaced by better man, and

Especial Dispatch to The Ca IL


Especial Dispatch to The Ca III
New York, Feb. 6.--The Herald's
Washington correspondent tele.
graphs: | learn from reliable
source to-day that Speaker Reed
considers it impossible to get the
sixty votes in the Senate necessary
to rstify the pending Hawaiian
treaty. Having made up his mind
that the treaty cannot be ratified,
he is anxious that a vote demon
strating this may be- apeedily taken,
and that both houses begin cou.
sideration at once OF the Morgan
bill.
He has pro missed to push the bill
through the House in less than a
week il the friends Of the treaty will
consent to the abandonment Of that
instrument. With the experience Of
the last few months showing how
completely the Speaker controls the
affairs Of the House, no one doubts
for moment that he will he able to
fulfill his promise. and Hawaiian an
hexation, therefore, it is thought, is
sure to be brought about during the
present cession OF Congress. If the
70 tv oh kA IL
is hoped, will be passed by the
Senate by majority fully as large
in proportion as the majority in the
House.
Senator Davis is not yet prepared
to abandon the treaty, but if it be
comes apparent to him before the
end OF the week that he cannot get
the two votes still necessary for rati-
6cation he will join heartily in the
movement to bring the Morgan bill
to an early vote.
Senator Davis has asserted for
several days that sixty Senators can
be depended upon to vote for the
the treaty. Impartial men who
have made canvass, however, are
unable to count upon more than
fifty-eight as certainty-forty-one
Republicans, three silver Repub-
licsns, four Populists and ten Demo
Gratis, The two remaining votes
must come from the Democratic
side, and Senator German has been
depended upon by Senator Davis,
through his strong influence with
his party, to get these votes,

story to coterie Of friends while

"a few years ago | attended a per
formance of Faust at Dublin

an abnormally large man, and the
trap door OF the stage an unusually
small one. AT the proper time tho

was seen dragged by hidden power,

His legs went first and he proceeded

Those underneath tried to pull him
through, while he endeavored to
get out He could move neither
way, his portly body completely fill

barrassing pause. The audience was
as silent as the tomb. Then an old
Irishnau back in tho gallery arose
and, with his eyes fixed on the
scene, raised his hand and fervsntly
exclaimed, Il thank God hslls fun"

Two Of a Kind,

A delightful story has just been
made public by Professor Max Null
ler 1t concerns a party of anti
quarians. Wills visiting the coin
room OF the British Museum it was
discovered that rare and practi-
cslly unique Sicliian piece had van
ished. The autiquarsns were told
that they would have to be searched
and all consented except one. He
said no would die first. The others
departed; he was detained. Before
proceeding to violence the floor was
swept and there in crevice the coin
was found. Apologies were in order,
explanation, too. 1t then appeared
that the suspected party, the party
who would not be searched, had in
his pocket duplicate Of the coin
that had vanished and had only
to compare them, If the other coin
had not turned up, where would he
have been7
