MUST OBEY THE LAW.
Governor 1nstructs Constables to
Expose Weapons Carried.

1t was only few days ago that
the State supreme court rendered
decision to the effect that hquo-
constables as we'll as other officers
had no right to carry concealed
weapons. The practice having
been general among the consta-
bles, Gov McSweeney yesterday
ordered the following notice sent
to each one of the chief cousta-
bleS:
Dear Sir: Gov McSweeney
directs me to have you to direct
yo&r cOnstables not to carry con-
cealed weapons. The supreme
court has recently decided that it
is unlawful for them to do SO. If
weapons are carried at all, they
must be exposed. Respt.
w w harrlS,
Clerk.
In this connection it is stated
that since Gov TiIlman's admin
lstration the State has not furnish~
ed liquor constables with pistols,
and the constables have been sup
plying themselves with guns. The
general belief has been all along
that the State was supplying these
men with pistols.
Hereafter if the constables bear
pistols they will have to wear
them exposed or else lay them
selves liable to prosecution.

"PERHAPS HE IS BETTER
NO ONE CAN UNDER
STAND"
Funeral Services Over Remain, of
Col lngersoll-The Grief of
Wife md Daughters.

New York, July Tho
funeral of the late Robert G. In
gcrsoll occurred this afternoon
from Walston, Dobbs Fcrrv,
where he died on Fridry last.
No clergyman was present to
conduct the services; there WAS
no music, nor pallbcarcrs. The
body lay on cot in the room
where Col lngersolI dic3. 1t was
shrouded in white and one red
rose was placed on the breast.
About the colonel were banks of
floral tributes sent by friends.
The services we're held at {
O'Clock. Mrs IngersoIl sat b, side
her dead and with her were her
daughters, Mrs Walston H Brown
and Miss Maud IngersolI. They
wept almost continuously. Mr.
and Mrs 9 p Farrell were present
and Charles Broadway Rouss,
Col Ingersoll's oldest friend, oc-
cupied chair by the side of the
bier. There were some 40 others
present.
The intense silence was broken
by DR. John Clark Ridpath, who
in voice full Of emotion said ::
"My friends: 1t is very sad
duty to read in the presence of
the dead the last poem written by
Col Robert G Ingersoll, entitled
Declaration of the Free. -
This poem Col Ingersoll read
and altered a few hours before he
was stricken down.
Maj OJ Smith, who resides in
Dobbs' Ferry and who was Il
close personal friend of Col In
gersoll, read another extract from
Col Ingersoll's writings, entitled,
"My Religion"
DR. John Elliott, Of New York,
read the funeral Grafton dehvcrc
by Col lngersoll over his brother :
body.
This concluded the services.
Nearly all present then took a
parting look at the dead and
passed out. After they had gone
Mr. Rouss arose and, as he is blind,
passed his hand over the face of
his departed friend and said;
",Pcrhaps he is better now. No
one can understand it"
Mrs lngersoll said to HIM;
"The colonel wanted you to put
your hand upon his heart" and
suiting the action to the word,
she directed his hand to the left
breast Of the deceased.
Mr. Rouss asked what she was
going to do with the remains.
81 cannot give him up" she
said, ~ cannot put him in the
ground. | can't bear to think o
it. We're going to bring hin
back home"
The body will probably bt
taken to Fresh Pond, Long Island
on Thursday for cremation, but
this arrangement is subject tC
change.

From Down South.

Vim. Won DOnarus. proprietor OF
the Columbia hotel, has received
quite an interesting letter from
James Logan, one Oi the boys that
went with Shep Murphy to Louisi-
ana last fall. He states that they
are now having a very disaxreeable
spell Of weather, the thermometers
registering at six degrees below the
freezing point. There is remark
able absence Of sickness among the
crew, and the winter for the greater
part has been very pleasant. They
have succeeded in putting in four
and half million feet Of logs, break
ing all previous records for logging
In that country, and having about
another. million feet to put In and
about fifteen days Oi driving to do,
expect to finish their work there nv
April l, or u little later. when the
entire crew will return to Minnesota 1.
He says that is the ideal place for
q duck hunter. the cane brakes being
full OF them. The crew has two opos.
sums Gagged. which they intend to
bring up north with them. Here ia
Logan's description Of how to catch
an opOssum. ''Set your dog after
them and trail them to a hollow
tree; then hook the dog by the tail
and shove him into the hole. Give
the dog about two minutes to get q
hold, then pull on the tail and you
generally have an opossum with the
dog" He also says: "The woods
here are full OF razor. backed hogs. II
you disturb one OF them his bristles
will stand up, and he will dispute
the right-of-way with anyone. They
will go out under an oak tree when
there is breeze bio wing, and when
an acorn drops they will hear II
coming and catch 1t before 1t strikes
the ground. Get one OF them he.
