MARKETS NOT SERIOUSLY AFFECTED BY GEN
ERAL BULLER's DEFEAT.
Berlin Dec. 17-General Buffers defeat IN the
engagement at the Tugela River has not affected
the German money and stock markets seriously.
Nevertheless the money stringency is growing
daily and private discount has equalled the off,
cial rate since Thursday.
Financial circles now expecting an ad-
vance by the Reichsbank any day. Apparently
the Rechsbank Is only awaiting the action of
the Bank OF England. According to information
from within the bank, an advance In the rate
may become necessary at any moment, and the
money situation will grow tighter. In conse-
quence Of General Buffers repuse, London ex-
change is already above the gold point. Only
the tacit agreement Of the great private banks
not to embarrass the Reichsbank prevents large
gold exports. The gold movement from New
York to London, however, Is expected to give
temporary relief
Domestic industrials hive remained firm be-
cause of the situation in the coal and iron CEN
tres, where improvement Of business continues.
The Province Of Brandenburg will Issue loan
Of 100000 marks for the construction Of sub
sidiary railways and the city Of Berlin will
build an extensive system of underground rail-
ways.
At a meeting Of the Cologne Manufacturers
Association yesterday Manager Steer reported
upon the recent Philadelphia congress- greatly

the appointment of an international committee

Germany and the United States and said
Such tender consideration for the Americans
is misplaced. Only q self-assertive attitude on
the part of the German nation can impress
American public opinion. We must make the
Americans realize that we can dispense with
them IL necessary and must demand that
Germany be treated upon footing Of decent.
reasonable reciprocity.
The Hamburg "Boersenhalle' advises concilia-
tory measures advocating reduction In the
duty on maize and less severe inspection Of
American commodities 1t says. however, that
the American treatment OF Germany in tariff
administration is unfair.
A distinguished member of the diplomatic
corps in the course of a discussion to-day re-
garding General Buffers reverse said:
1t means morally far more for Great Britain
than the mere loss of the battle. Her prestige
after the defeats of last week has fallen enor-
mously on the Continent. and 1t Will be many
years before she will again venture 10 assume
a tone toward great Power such as she TOOK
in the Fashoda affair.

Rspret IN general this morning that Lord

attempting to rescue some OF the guns captured
by the Beers at Colenso, succumbed to his In
tuies. Few details OF the battle are yet pub
nshed, which is somewhat surprising even when
the censorship is taken into account.
In the light Of the latest dispatches regarding
the action at Magersfontein it is becoming more
and more plain that only the Gripping of the
British infantry in the early part Of the day
prevented the capture of the Boer position. A
large party Of Free Staters have been observed.

REFORM IN ruNERALs.

The article which appeared in last
weeks BANNER entitled Reform in
Funerals" recommended one step for
ward in the abolition OF a custom that
is repulsive and "a grinding torture to
the feelings of every sensitive nature,
but it was one step only. | am firmly
convinced that funerals or any cere
mony whatever over the deserted clay
which held lives that were entertwined
with ours, is barbaric. There are
griefs that seem worse than death, and
who would think of parading the grief
stricken family of loved member who
was worse than dead, out in decorous
procession to march through a gaping
crowd assembled for the most part
through sheer curiosity, as is the case
in a public funeral, there to sit in
prominence for an hour or more, an
object of interest second only To the
corpse, while words are spoken intend
ed TO be sympathetic and reconciling,
but which fall upon the grief deadened
hearing OF the heart broken mourner
who is striving with all his strength to
master the torrent OF sorrow that
threatens TO overpower him, while the
appropriate selections rendered by
the choir serve only to strike a sympa-
thetic chord and wiring the tortured
heart still more. Why will not the
public give the sorrowing ones the
same seclusion they certainly crave
when death enters into their home as
would be given when come other
crushing blows.
In the name of civilized people, in
the name of humanity to man let US
bury our dead without public cere-
mony and give the stricken family the
privilege of avoiding publicity in
griefs Of this kind as is accorded to
them in other earthly tribulations, and
say not, that it was not a Christian
burial.
A barbaric burial would better apply
to the present pomp and display thal
il undeserving the name Of Christian
ity. RUTH II. ELLIS.

MARTHA A. HaRRoUN.

The death of Martha A. Harroun,
whose maiden name was Weaver, oc-
Cured March 2, 1899. She was born in
Troy, N. Y, December 5, 1888, and at
the age of eleven years moved with
her parents to Otisco, Michigan, set
tling on what was known as the
Weaver farm near Kiddville. In 1856
she was married to Guest V. Harroun.
In the fall of 1870 she became resident
of Patterson's mills, now known as the
city of Belding, where she continued
to reside up to about two years ago.
She united with the Christian church
forty years ago, being baptized by
Elder Mosher, and since then has lived
a good christian life. Although never
prominent in social circles, but was
always careful in the home, attending
to all things that belonged To her as a
wife and mother,
Funeral service was held at the home
OF her son, Chas. Harroun, Saturday
afternoon, Rev. B. V. Child officiating,
preaching from Prov. 3l-2S. Her
children shall rise up and call her
blessed.
Our home is left without mother.
Who was gentle, pure and fair,
Her bent and aged form
Has departed this world of care
MANY long years she has labored,
Deep sorrows she had to bear;
But now we mus; fold her mantle,
And lay it by with tenderest care.
Our hearts bled with sorrow and pain
When away from our grasp she vas torn.
Thank God we may meet her again
Though for a season we're left TO mourn.
How glad we will be when we meet
Our conflicts and tIials We'll tell;
When each other in heaven we greet,
The anthoms of Glory We'll swell.
