anese. desired that his funeral should
be attended by ceremonies appropriate
TO his rank and social position, and IN
order that he might not be disappolnt-
ed in this respect, having reached MS
seventy-seventh year, and feeling that
his days were numbered. he determined
to have his funeral in advance ana
make the arrangements himself. There
fore on the day appointed his relatives
and friends were invited to his house
and gathered around an empty coffiA
with all the paraphernalia OF mourn
ing and engaged in the most elaborate
Buddhist ceremony that could be de-
vised. Mr. kumekawa sat at the head
Of the caSket and watched with inter-
est all that was going on.
After the ceremonies at the house
were concluded a procession was form
ed which marched through the prinei-
pal streets to the cemetery. Mr.. Kun
ekawa walked in front Of his own col
fin The floral offerings were numer-
Gus and beautiful. The Kobe Guy
Band led the procession and played
modern AXIS, while at intervals were
groups of dancing girls and members
of the theatrical profession who per
formed pantomime allegories to illus
trate the nobility Of Mr.. Kumekawa's
character and the loss that was suffer

Just before reaching the gates Of the
cemetery the procession was halted and
several photographs we're taken. Al
ter the coffin had been lowered into the
grave and covered with floral offerings
the funeral party proceeded to the jim
ko Club, where an elaborate feast was
served, and speeches eulogistic of Mr..
Kumekawa we're delivered by several
of his friends.
Mr.. Kumekawa was thoroughly sat-

only necessary for his family to place
his body in the coffin that lies in the

A New Hope Raised and Blasted.

In barroom in New York there
stood leaning against the bar man
whose friends thought that he had
drunk enough. They were. further
more, unwilling to give their moral
support to his drinking too much. and
so they had conscientiously left him,
lest he should drink any more, as he
was indeed threatening to do. But he
had moral convictions Of his own. and
one of them was that it was wrong to
drink alone. He begged the bartender
to drink with him in vain. In vain he
begged the proprietor to drink with
him. He stood and thought He
could not invite a stranger. Deserted
by his friends, his host refusing his
hospitality, he was left desolate, alone
and thirsty. He thirsted and he
thought till he almost wept. Then
came an inspiration, and he said to the
proprietor: 'Zhorge will you do me
one favor? Zhurst one thing | ashk
you to do for me; will you ring for a
messhenger to drink with me?" Mess
engers have been employed for many
and various purposes but this was a
noble and original thought. 1t is a
sorry thing TO have to say that it came
to nothing, because the proprietor
would not call the messenger. 1t is sad
to nave to say it. because the thought
was such a good one, but it is neces-
sarv. 1t is necessary because if the
truth were not told about it the mess
snger offices to-day would not be able
to do business because of the applicants
for jobs who would crowd them.

THE BRIDES OF DEATH

There's a cleft In the darkfng sea-
coast wall
That hides the town like sheltering
pail.
And the Moro looks down from the
precipice crest
At the sheltered ships on the harbor's
breast
At the anchored ships that idly swing.
Flying the flag Of the Spanish King.
snail to the mast the yellow and red,
The grave old Spa ssh admiral said;
And the lovely .,nta led the line,
And the bridesn lids followed her
through the brce-
Followed her out o. the harber mouth
To the fatal tryst N the open south.
Never a bride went down the hall,
In the maze Of the dance OF her mar
riage ball.
With so fine a grace or an air SO
free
AS the Spanish ships stood out to sea;
And never the brides OF God took veil,
In the darksome depth Of the conyents
pale,
with so lofty a misn OF sacrifice
AS they bided the ding OF the battles
dice
Their splendrous standards streamed
on high
'cai9stt the turquois blue of the tropic
Their polished brass-work flashes
flung.
Like lus,rous jewels around them
strung;
And their bows were yelled in the fl
or the spray comb tossed by the charg-
ing pace.
But. ali! what terrible guests are these,
Fast gliding in from the outer seas,
Gliding along in drapery black
That fumes and pours from the high
smokestack?
And. an, what Humorous chimes that
greet
The stately advance of the bridal fleet?
But is this the peal of the wedding
bell
This roaring voice like the voice of
He'll?
'Tis the wrathsome cry of the pltiless
Fates-
The voice is the voice Of the sister
States.
OF the sister States OF the slaughtered
Maine,
Crying aloud for the blood of Spain
Battle-ship, cruiser, torpedo-boat,
That rush like dogs at the Spanish
throat
Alas for the brides in yellow and red
That out of the harbor so lightly sped,
That reel and faint in the fearful dance
Mid the choke of the smoke where the
lightnings glance.
While ever mingles the thunder's roar
With the boom of the surf on the near
ing shore.
They we're six that steered to the open
sea
The bride and the maids so swift and
free
And six are the sorses that line the
strand,
Prone in the pools Of the tide-lett
sand;
And the gathering vultures circle
high
Der the stiffened limb and the death
closed eye. Troy Times.

d;ggers, superintendent by Chaplain
Chadwick and DR.. Macour, began the
exhumaton, in Colon cemetery, yester-

the Maine. As the collins were raised
to the grave side the remains We're m
mediately placed in tin-lined collins
prepared with lime and charcoal bot

coal were used, and then the collins
were carried a few yards away, where
tinsmiths nailed down and hermetical-
ly sealed the lids, the names being DIS
tinctly painted thereon.
Chaplain Chadwick, using his chart,
kept strict account in each instance.
Forty collins eXhumed yesterday were
carried to the cemetery chapel.
Two watchmen We're on duty for the
night. Twenty-Five soldiers and about
as many other spectators We're present.
A distressing, but unavoidable feat.
ure was the necessity of removing the
broken remnants of several collins.
Father Chadwick at first refused to al

seemed practicable to remove them,
but as the lime, which was originally
put in as n disinfectant had called firm
