 All the friends were permitted to view the
 body, which looked very lifelike, lying on
 one side with half the face covered, at the
 big funeral in New York a month later. But the undertaken who had done the work
 shivered outside on that hot July day.
 And the latest chapter in the story Is that
 he was removed few days ago to an in- sane asylum, unnerved by his work. story Is told of Admiral Dewey at Trieste where he stopped some days. In Trieste there was an English reporter lo-
 cated, young fellow attached to the Lon- don Mall-that American newspaper abroad" and the young man, hoping to
 make name for himself with a genuine interview with the admiral got into the quarters of Admiral Dewey and suddenly came upon that gentleman face to face. Admiral Dewey stopped still and said "Well!' And the reporter who had been preparing an elaborate and fattering speech forgot everything. "Well!' repeat ed the admiral
 I"-I-that is,' stammered the young man, II was going-going to ask you if-if you are going to fight Germany next?" "What- would you advise me to do?" questioned Admiral Dewey.
 The young man looked the admiral squarely in the eyes, then turned and ran. Right out of the admirals sight he skip ped, never stopping until he reached home. And Admiral Dewey was unkind enough to throw back his head and laugh-laugh un- til the tears rolled down his cheek. This is to be Spanish autumn. Span- ish novels in which the cavalier plays his guitar with invariabe regularity are ap- | bearing every day. And Spanish plays are | promised. The most interesting of these will probably be Marion Crawford's "In | Old Madrid,' now being written for Viola l Allen.

 the coming week. if the Shamrock gets | here safely, for there will be gaiety until
 it is ascertained that she has arrived in | perfect condition. Then. scearcely will l yachting be over. when Dewey will come | sailing home and then the reception given l by the city of New York will be the larg- | est ever attempted on this side of the wa 1 ter.
 About MT. "Corn'' Carr The western corn men, of whom MT. Clark Carr is the leader, being president
 of the corn committee which is to exhibit corn at the Paris exposition, are consider
 ing the advisability of establishing Corn Kitchen in New York similar to that to be conducted at the Paris exposition. East erners, and particularly New Workers, do not know how to eat corn. Corn meal to
 them means Johnny cake," just as green corn means corn on the cob The former
 is a cheap, poorly made product in general
 and the latter Is short in season and very
 dear; the writer paid 30 cents for two small
 ears in New York the first day of August,
 at one of the hotels, which can not be men, tioned. On consulting the other bills-of-
 fare of first class hotels 1t was found that two ears of corn on the cob meant at least 25 cents Why should this be when corn grows like a weed and takes up little ground space? The corn kitchens mission
 would be to cook corn meal and corn in att tractive ways and show housewives how
