WHEELING, MARCH IS, 1899.
Laid to Rest.

The people Of Fairmont, the late
Francis H. Plerpont's home. paid fitting
honors to his memory yesterday, and
testified to their sympathy for the loved
ones he left when he finished his earthly
career to go to his eternal rest. Though
gone from the scenes of his life's work.
he still lives in the hearts of his fellow
citizens. Though all that is mortal lies
beneath his native soil, the great struc-
ture which he helped to build will be
q monument to his memory that time
cannot efface nor destroy. and the ten
der tributes rendered by his friends
and neighbors yesterday were express
siye Of the sentiments which prevail
throughout the commonwealth which
owes to him such debt OF gratitude.
The end of the earthly chapter came
when the last rite was performed, and
there was sadness there. but with 1t all
was the comforting thought that the
one who was laid to rest had entered
upon higher EXISTENCE life which
death canot end. and which is the re-
ward of all who live like Francis Harri-
son Pierpont lived. firm in the Faith.
and an example to his fellow men in
Christian virtue. strength OF character.
patriotism and courage to do right and
to advocate the right at all times and
under all circumstances and conditions
that test the qualities of man. -.

story OF a similar nature 1t had no
Asuinnldo's Personal Defeat.

Satisfactory news was received at
Washington yesterday from General
Otis. 1t conveys the information that
the American troops met the combined
insurgenr forces in personal command
OF Agulnaldo. and drove them back
with considerable loss. No more im-
portanta dispatch than this has been
received from Otis, for two reasons,
one being that it shows that the
Americans are now in pursuit OF Aguln-
aldo himself. with the probability OF
striking the blow which will be decisive,
and the other is that this leader, with
10000 followers, and he in personal
command, was absolutely powerless to
resist the attack Of the Americans.
AS the Intelligencer has already stat
ed in another article, such crushing de-
feat suffered by the bombastic leader,
at the head of his men, will make It
hard for him to hold their confidence or
to induce them to believe further his
falsehoods about American defeats.
It means that Aguinaldo is on the run,
and that unless he abandons his per-
sonal campaign, which he has entered
with such gusto, his days are num-
bered.

Cuban Facts.

Cuba was settled more than fifty
years before the FIRST settlements in tine
United States. yet there are miles and
miles OF rich country land which has
never been touched in the Island.
From 1924 to 1856 there was big
Spanish navy yard at Havana and ia
vessels were built and launched as web
as equipped.
Coffee. sugar and tobacco are the
leading products OF Cuba and OF these
sugar is the mos; profitable. A million
tons OF this commodity Is the result of
one year's harvest.
Two gears ago Cuba imported goods
to the amour: of s66. 166.7d and export
ed $685. $50 worth OF stuff.
Cuba possesses some rich minerals
copper, iron, salt and coal. The animals
are not ferocious and there is lack OF
poisonous reptiles and insects. Birds OF
two hundred varieties make color and
music in the forests.

Admiral Dewey has exploded a So.

Admiral Dewey has exploded story
that has been in constant circulation
for months by those who have been OPP
posing the policy toward the Philip
pines. 1t has been frequently asserted
In public speeches and the press that
our naval officers were responsible for
the present situation indirectly by hav-
ing made deal with Agulnaldo at the
beginning. and that It was the ignoble
chief himself who plloted Dcwey's flag
ship Olympia into Manila Bay the night
before the destruction OF the Spanish
feet last May. The admiral. in n let
ter. states that the whole story is false;
that neither Aguinaldo nor any other
Filipino was on the Olympia: that there
was but one Filipino with the American
fleet. and he was only taken as an In
terpreter in case he should fall In with
some one from whom he could obtain
information: that he was not competent
to be a pilot. This ought to settle the
canard. which has been made such use

Two Types of Human Courage.

The reports OF the fighting in the
Philippines show clearly that the
American troops are exhibiting great
bravery and endurance. and that they
are deserving OF the praise that they
are receiving. not alone from the peo-
pie at home. but from the representa-
tives Of other nations. They are at a
great disadvantage In many respects,
but seem TO be undaunted byithis fact.
They are making splendid records for,
themselves. and while there is sorrow
in many homes, to which the tender
sympathy Of the Nation goes, there Is
also that national pride SO characteris-
tic OF this country in the deeds OF
heroism that have been witnessed.
1t should be said, also. that the Fill
ipinos, though deluded and forced to
fight superior power by their merci-.
less leaders, are showing no small
amount OF courage Americans can az
ford to. and do. sympathize with these

A Touching Incident.

The Pittsburgh Post relates. a touch

vices over the remains Of Ex-Governor
Pierpont in that city, Sunday, prepar-
atory to the departure for the final
resting place at Fairnont. A quiet.
little man. 1t is said. about sixty years
Of age. stood for few moments beside
the body; he touched the flag and turn
ed away, with tears running down his
cheeks. The minister stopped him as
he was about to retire, and asked:
did you know Governor Pierpont?"
Eyes. better than any other living
man" I was his private telegraph
operator during his term Of office. and
in his days OF trouble" And the
faithful servant OF the Father Of West
Virginia passed from the presence OF
the dead.
Possibly this man came near the
truth. for in the capacity in which he
was employed In those days he must
have been, next to the governor him
self. in possession OF more of the official
secrets than any other one man. 1t
was time when trustworthiness and
falthfulness were matters OF extreme
Importance. His fearful tribute to the
one with whom he had been so closely
associated in trying period so many
years ago, was one OF those touching
incidents which seem always to accom-
pany such an occasion.
