MANILA, Sept 2.-In accordance with
Adjutant General Corbin's suggestions,
memorial service was held at the
graves CT the Pennsylvania soldiers at
Paco cemetery. Chaplain Sutherland
eulogized Colonel Hawkins.
WASHINGTON, Pa, Sept. at is be-
heved fully $4,000 visitors were here at
Colonel Hawkins funeral, an account
of which appeared in thesC dispatches
yesterday. Governor Stone did not at
tend, as was expected. Chaplain Hun
ter's tribute was beautiful.
He was told" said ne, "away back
in April that on account of the nature
OF his disease he should return home
if he desired to recover; but with all
his sutferings ne said he would stay
with his boys and lead them home. He
was patriot of patriots, a man among
men.
"a man of noble virtues, he followed
the path of temperance and integrity.
But what can l say more in honor of
the brave mau? His memory is written
i'll our hearts. There will we let it rest. !"
When the cortege reached the grave
the visiting soldiers of the state guard
took their positions on the west side,
except one company, which was de-
ployed on the opposite side to keep back
the throngs. The carriages took their
position i'll front of this regiment with
the funeral car bearing the casket at the
foot of the grave. General Wiley and
staff had positions ON the east side of
the grave and the Tenth regiment Off
GERS and men stood at the north.
The closing scene of the funeral cere-
monies was most impressive. The rain
had ceased and the sun, coming out
brightly, shone beautifully ON the spot
where the last sad rites were pro-
nounced. The knoll where the remains
were buried is the most beautiful spot
of the cemetery. The casket was re-
moved from the hearse, and. as the re-
mains were lowered into the grave,
Color Bearer Harry Cundall held the
flag of the regiment until taps were
sounded
The wife aud daughter of the la.
mented colonel did not get out of their
carriage, but the casket was preceded
to the grave by the honorary pallbearers,
Chaplain Temple made brief prayer.
The members of Company g, Seven.
teenth regiment, n. G. p, discharged
three volleys over the grave. Bugler
Keffer of the Tenth regiment sounded
several ringing notes from his bugle.
and the funeral of brave and gallant
commander was over

entertained at the rooms of the Wash.
ington club, of which Colonel Hawkins
was a member. it's membership being
made up of the most active members Of
the guard at this place. Free lunch

CURED BY LEOPARDS.
The Dying Man Suddenly Recovered
His Health and Speed.


In ''Lumsden of the Guides" there is
an interesting story, says the London
Chronicle, of the rescue by Lieutenant
Feyton Of her majesty's Eighty-sev-
enth of a young Pathan who had fallen
into the Kabul river. The lads father,
in his gratitude, came down from his
home in Independent Territory, and as
thank offering presented Peyton with
two young leopard cubs. Peyton, be-
ing an executive engineer and con-
stantly on the move, could make no
home for them and gave them to
Lumsden. who himself told me what
follows, and it seems to me worth pre-
serving, as leopards seldom have an
opportunity of assisting in criminal
investigation. The animals were too
young to be dangerous and were al
lowed their liberty.
One day Lumsden was holding his
court in Yusufzal, when In the middle
of case there was an uproar, and the
two sides in an affray case poured into
the court, and, as always happens, each
side accused the other of being entire
ly in fault. One party. to improve its
case, brought dying man on native
bed. y blood stained sheet was remOv-
ed. showing Il much belabored man,
who appeared to be at the last gasp.
Lumsden had the bed put down in
court and went on with the interrupted
case. Just then the young leOpards
sauntered i'll. probably attracted by the
scent of blood, and. moving gently
around the court, approached the bed
aud began shifting at the wounded
man. who, miraculously recovered,
jumped from the bed and fed rapidly.

ceed Both wars are a disgrace to civili-
zation. They are wars instituted and
prosecuted by financial SPECTATORS and

wholly unnecessary sacrifices of human
lie, and grave reflection on every pro-
fession ever held out by either Great
Britain or the United States of devotion

Inc world has not ceased to cry out
against the dismemberment of the king
dom of Poland, and even today, in diplo-
matte circles, prospects are being con-
sidered to undo the consequences of the
wretched blunder and butchery that were

horse would be to exclude the horses
resorts. The automobile does not, Of
course, show any disposition to resent
the appearance Of an occasional horse.
But it would nevertheless be offering an
example of the hopeless ingratitude of
mankind toward it's friends to subject
that noble animal, the horse, to such dis
eliminating treatment.
There is the possibility still left of adj
justing the existing disagreement between
the friends of the horse and of the auto
mobile. They should be taught to travel
side by side with each other in peace,
since the automobile, unlike its ancestor,
the buggy, refuses persistently to travel
behind the horse. Even horses are forced
in this world to get used to many things
they do not regard with favor. So long
as the horse show remains so popular an
institution, 1t may safely be said that
there may be less cause for uneasiness on
the part Of the horse toward the auto
mobile as the years go by. Meanwhile the
fact that neither courts nor park COM
missioners have thus far been able to
devise any means whereby the automo-
bile can be excluded from our public
parks helps the belief wonderfully that,
as time passes, even men of more or less
limited intelligence will see less and less
to dread In the appearance OF the automo-
bile on our public thoroughfares.

PAIL ZONES, ASHES.

The memory of no one of the great he
roes of the Revolutionary period can be
recalled with less Of credit TO the graft
tude and patriotism Of the American peo-
pie than that Of John Paul Jones. While
he was tire first man who ever raised the
stars and stripes over an American YES
sci, and fought for the national flag
throughout the Revolution literally with
a halter around his neck, neither by his
contemporaries nor by posterity has he
been treated with any but the scantest
recognition Of his heroism and his meal
culable services, to the American cause.
The ashes Of Paul Jones lie In a foreign
land File died in Paris, neglected and
almost disowned by the country he had
served with such daring and such meal
culable gain. Although Jefferson regard
ed him as 'the principal hope Of our fu-
ture on the ocean," and although he en-
joyed the devotion of Franklin and other
Of the greatest men of his era, he suf-
fered abuse and wrong from the govern
ment and the leading statesmen of the
country which he loved and which he de-
| clared he had elected as his from the age
CT thirteen, as we'll as from the country
to which he owed allegiance and against
which he had fought so valiantly in the
American cause
Jones grave has after years Of search,
1t is understood, been finally located The
civil disturbances through which France
had passed after his death made the
search a most difficult one; but, as it is
now definitely known, a movement is in
inception for carrying the ashes Of this
glorious sailor to the land Of his love and
devotion.
The American mind is filled at this
time with the memories Of the grand
achievements Of cur navy In the recent
war with Spain. National enthusiasm in
tits direction is every day seeking new
channels of expression. The present is
the most fitting time in which to do the
justice to the memory of Paul Jones
which has been so long delayed His ash
es should rest in America, and they
should be conveyed to this soil in an
American ship of war. More than this
their transference should be made an oc-
casion Of prime public Importance and
should be attended by all the honors
which are due to such an inspiring event
His'monument, erected by a grateful peo-
can population, should be one worthy Of
his fame, as one of the first among the
many immortals of the American navy.
