United States Would Not Vote For the
Proposal-Experiments Being Made.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The United
States will not be bound by the reported
decision OF The Hague conference to
prohibit the use of the dunn dunn bullet
in warfare. So far we have not been
obliged to use 1t, but the ordnance Of
6cers have been making experiments to
secure an incre ased stopping effect
for the small caliber ball used in the
Krag-Jorgensen, and these experiments
have proceeded somewhat ON the lines
OF the dun dun bullet. The American
delegates voted against the proposal to
prohibit the dunn dunn because their
general instructions forbade them to
pledge this government to any line OF
action that would retard the develop,
ment OF inventive genius in warfare
Adhesion to the protocols is voluntary.
Great Britain, it is understood, also re
fused to prohibit the use of the dun
dun bullet.

snith-wife Seriously III.
New YORK, July 25.-Simple funeral
exercises over the body of the late Rob.
ert G. Ingersoll were held at Walston,
the Ingersoll summer home at Dobbs
Ferry, this afternoon.
DR.. John Clark Ridpath, who was for
many years close personal friend OF
Colonel Ingersoll, read the eulogy
delivered by Colonel Ingersoll upon his
brother Clarke. DR.. Ridpath also
read "My Greed, =" the last poem written
by Colonel Ingersoll, and afterward
made brief address.
Major o. j. Smith of Dobbs Ferry, a
warm friend OF the great orator and
lecturer, read other selections from
Ingersoll's writings.
Early tomorrow morning the family
will accompany the remains to Fresh
Pond, Long Island, where the body will
be cremated. They will bring the ashe.
back to Dobbs Ferry and they will be
deposited in an urn, which will be sur
mounted with the bust of Colonel In.
gersoll, to be made from the death
mask made by John Gray Bernard, the
New York sculptor. The only music
that will be heard this afternoon will bt
"Siegfreid's s funeral march,"
The mail brought over 300 letters Of
coincidence, and kilograms continue tC
pour in from all parts of the country
Among those received was one from
Julia Marlowe, the actress, now in Lon
don. Another long one was from Rev
Il. H. Pullman, who was a persona
friend of Colonel Ingersoll. Many
theatrical people sent letters of con
dolence.
The funeral will be private. and it is
expected that only those who were per-
sonal friends of long standing will at.
tend, and representatives of societies
that believed as did the late Colone
Ingersoll.
Mrs. Ingersoll is so ill that she is con
fined to her bed. Members of the family
say that the illness is due to the pros
tration of grief and the ceaseless vigi
that she has kept at the bier of her deaC
husband since his death on Friday.
1t is not thought that the illness will
result seriously. Colonel Ingersoll's
daughters, Miss Maud and Mrs. Wal
ston H. Brown, are both on the verge
of prostration. The grief. stricken wife
and daughters, who share the belief OF
the dead agnostic, have begged only tc
be allowed to keep the body with them
as long as possible.

AUTO IN POSTAL SERVICE.
Postmaster Mt Buffalo Reports EK-
periments of It's UtIlIty--Makes
q Good Record.

Postmaster Dorr, of Buffalo, n. Y,
has demonstrated that there is a great
field for the use of automobiles in the
postal service of large cities and that
their use will reduce expenditures and
expedite the collection of mails.
DR.. Truman j. Martin, who owns an
automobile, offered it to the postmas-
ter to make some practical experiments
in the collection of mails, and the first
trial was made on Saturday evening,
July /, when DR.. Martin managed the
automobile, carrying with him Super
intendent of Carriers Lieb, who col
lected the mails from 40 boxes on q
route 1s miles long in l hour and 30
minutes. To cover the same route with
horse and wagon required more than
three hours. Trial was made on an
other route next morning, when the
mail was collected from 63 boxes in
hour and so minutes. The time re-
quired for horse and wagon to cover
this route is hours and min
utes. Still another test was made July
on another route, Is miles in length,
with "a boxes, and the collections were
all made in 90 minutes.
Postmaster Dorr, who has reported
these results to the department, says
that DR.. Martin has ordered a specially
designed wagon to be fitted with box
for receiving the mails Immediately in
front Of the driver, and that when it
has been received it will be put into
service and a report will be made of its
performances. This report will be
awaited with much interest, and it may
lead to experiments in other cities.

STRANGELY REUNITED.
Man Who Attempted Suicide by
Leaping from Brooklyn Bridge.

Separated since childhood, a brother
and sister, neither of whom knew the
other by sight, were strangely reunited
in the Raymond street Jail, Brooklyn.
One was clothed with all that wealth
could buy. She was the sister, the
wife of a man whose business and vast
fortune have made him well known in
the community. The brother, though
well educated and an artist, was a
homeless outcast, put into Jail for seek
ing to remove himself from all earthly
cares.
Less than a month ago there was ar
raigned in the Adams street court a
man who said his name was John
Schmidt. He was charged with having
attempted suicide by jumping from the
Brooklyn bridge. He was held for the
grand jury, and in the meantime went
to Raymond street Jail.
One day a handsome woman called
at the Jail and asked for Schmidt She
conversed with the prisoner in Swedish,
and it was soon discovered that he was
her long-lost brother, for whom she
had been seeking for 25 years.
She said they lived with their parents
in Sweden, and that his right name is
not Schlaidt. He came to this country
with relatives, and the folks at home
lost all track of him.
Three days later the grand jury dis
missed the indictment against Schmidt,
and he left the Jail, in company with
his sister, both keeping their identity
