triumYirate of great leaders-Doug-
lass, Langston and Bruce-has gone.
The funeral held at Metropolitan

tribute Of a grateful people to a
fallen leader. The magnificent edi-
fee which is, by association, rapidly
becoming a great race Cathedral,
never held larger or more represen-
tative gathering Of the flower Of both
races. Distinguished men and WO-
men from all parts Of the land and
from all the walks Of life were there
statesmen, diplomats, lawyers, doe
tors, ministers, schOlars-all there to
do honor to one who, born a slave
had reached an eminence attained by
few, even Of tile favored race. The
services beginning at | O'Clock, were
conducted by his pastor, Rev. Sterling
Brown, pastor Of Park Temple Con-

farmers at Tybee Mrs. FELTON, said:

Federal Authorities to Inquire Into
the Erie County Institution.
A thorough Investigation Of the inner and
secret life Of the convicts OF the Erie county
penitentiary, Buffalo. N. Y. will be made
soon by the federal authorities. It will be
to determine whether the convicts are maxi
ing and uttering counterfeit money beneath
the noses Of their keepers. The letter found
among the effects OF Royal Geppner from
Monte Bill' Edwards, convict In the Erie
county penitentiary, is the information that
will cause the Investigation. This letter
will be sent to his chiefs at Washington by
United States Secret Service Agent Donella.
This letter was published in full in The Bee
Tuesday morning. 1t was written In SYM
pathetic ink between the lines OF letter
sent as blind to Geppner. The writer
quotes the price of three grades OF both
paper money and metal money which the
convicts were making, the work OF one
man, "Jim," being the best 1t refers to
Geppner as being a nervy man-just the man
to handle the stun. The "twenty-year boys"
probably meaning the convicts under
twenty-year sentences, are given as the ones
who are doing the work. The writer speaks
OF the fact that he has twenty-six months
yet to serve and that when he Is granted his
liberty that he intended to enter into
partnership with Geppner. II he is caught
young Geppner besides answering to the
police for his shortcomings will probably
have to explain to the federal authorities
his connection with monte Bill" Edwards,
the convict counterfeiter.

TEST FOR TORPEDO BOATS
Course Laid in the Delaware River
where New Crafts May Try
Their Speed.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.--Upon recom-
mendation of Captain A. S. Crowninshield.
chief OF the bureau of navigation of the
Navy department, course over which to
speed torpedo boats built on the Atlantic
coast has been selected on the Delaware
river, just below the mouth OF Christiana
creek, near Wilmington, Del. The course
upon which the speed tests are to be made
is mile long and was chosen by Captain
Crowninshield after its selection had been
urged by Commodore Casey and Captain
Cottrell OF the Massassoit.
AS the government proposes to have
numerous torpedo boats built, many tests
of speed may be looked for in the near fu-
ture. The Mackenzie, just completed, at
the Hillman shipyard, in this city, will be
the first vessel to be speeded over the new
course, and the test will probably be made
in two weeks.

Children,s Night at Peace Fair.

Last night was chldrens night at the
Grand Peace Jubilee and Fair and Thurston
Rifles armory held another such crowd OF
people as has attended the fair the two
evenings preceding. The chief attraction was
the entertainment in which the little folks
took a prominent part, but the voting con-
tests become more exciting as the fair nears
its end, and the displays Of goods on sale
at the various booths have attractions for
many. At 8 o'clock those present were en-
tertained by the chiidren's chorus and an
International flag drill by twenty-five little
girls. The chorus sang a melody Of ma
tional airs, and the little folks in the drill,
attired in white dresses made a pretty dis
play as they went through the many evolu-
tions Of the drill.

plan is to have an Indian show OF his own.
Speaking OF the scheme he said: II can
secure seventy-fve OF my own Indians, put
them in lot, surrounded by. high board
fence and there I can put on all Of the
dances known to the different tribes OF the
country. I can charge a small admission
fee and before the end Of the season I can
clean up several hundred dollars.
Last summer it was apparent that the

House Numbers Are Needed.

Uncle S;u,'s letter carriers in this city are
still handicapped by the lack Of numbers on
houses. The work in the suburbs Is held
back in great measure by the large num-
ber of new houses erected recently upon
which no numbers have been placed. Since
Postmaster Mcmillan sent letter to the
council asking that all the houses be num-
bered in order to facilitate the delivery OF
mails quite a number Of Third warders have
placed the proper numbers upon their resi-
dences, but many in other parts OF the city
have neglected to follow the example. On
account Of the large number OF new families
taking up their residence in the city it
makes it difficult for the mail carriers to
cover their routes properly in the time al
lowed by the rules Of the department. 1t Is
stated that the REMEMBERING of the houses
throughout the city would greatly assist In
the prompt delivery Of the mails.

experience in municipal affairs. 1t is thought
that possibly the committee may hold an in

to mapping out method Of procedure. In
case this is not done an organization will
be effected next Tuesday night, which Is the
date set for the first meeting Of the commit
tee. AS Hon. James H. Van Dusen has been
placed upon the committee it is expected
that he will take the matter in hand to a
great extent and see to the drafting Of the
necessary bill after the different sections
have been agreed to by the mayor. council

committee may see fit to send representa-
tive to Lincoln in the interest OF the pro-
posed new charter and this idea is looked
upon with favor by many taxpayers.
