General Dawes's Funeral.

The funeral services OF General Ru-
fus R. Dawes were held Thursday af-
ternoon at O'clock at the First Pres
byterian church, and It was most inn
pressive event. Or. George P. Gear, of
the First Baptist church, and DR.. John
Boyd, of st. Luke's Episcopal church.
assisted the pastor, DR.. William e.
Roe, in the conduct of the services.
Beside the Generals friends in or
binary civil life, there were present
many of the boys Of 81, who as friends
and G. A. r. men, attended the funer-
al in a body to do honor to their dis
tinguished comrade.
Over the casket containing the re-
mains was draped the American flag
No flowers were on the coffin, but the
colors which the dead soldier so ably
defended between 81 and '65 covered
the hero, and it expressed a signifi-
canoe which must have been sweet to
the spirit of him who lay beneath.
Dr. Roe spoke at some length of
General Dawes, the son, brother, hus-
band, father, soldier and citizen, and
he acquitted himself most beautifully
In the story of the man there is the
richest material, and DR.. Roe touched
upon the main events of his life with
rare good taste.
The burial was in Oak Grove ceme-
terry in the Dawes lot.

DEATH RATE GROWING.
All the Physicians Attribute 1t to
What We Eat.

The constantly increasing mum
Der of deaths from stomach troub-
les is exciting the keenest interest
among the medical fraternity
The prevalence of these stomach
disorders or ailments the doctors
attribute largely to impure tooo
products With which the country
at large seems to be flooded, aud in
an attempt to counteract which
many of the states have enacted
pure food laws.
The fact of the matter is the peo
pie of the United States are, as a
rule, too careless and Indifferent a,
to what they eat or how it is cook
ed, and the inevitable penalty OF
disordered stomachs is the result
Ore of the adulterations that is
most serious in Its effects is the
use Of alum to whiten bread or tC
furnish cheap baking powder. 1t
destroys the coating of the stom-
ach, produces dyspepsia, ant
eventually polsons the blood. Try
a piece of alum in your mouth ant
note the result. No stomach intC
which it enters can long remain
healthy.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO RULE THE
WORLD.

Every time the clock ticks sum
of $3.50 is spent on the costly task
of governing the world, and every
month absorbs $500, 900, 900.
If it were possible for relays of
cashiers, in bands of thirty eight,
to pay over the requisite So gold
pieces, at the rate of one second,
night and day, without a seconds
internission, it would take them
almost a year to keep the worlds
government supplied with the nee
essary funds for the year,
In this time they would have
paid over the counter no less than
5000 tons of gold.
These millions of coins would
equal in weight the entire popula-
tion of many large towns of the
United States.
If to econemize labor the worlds
bills we're paid in So bills, these
notes, arranged six deep, would
make a waistband for the earth at
the equator.
Germany spends more than any
other nation for governing pur-
| poses. Russia ranks second, France
third and Great Britain fourth.
Germany, Russia. France and
Great Britain spend exactly as
much as the rest of the world on
government.
Servia is the least costly king
dom.
While Great'Britain ranks fourth
among Costly governments, she
ranks third in the amount of taxes
she exacts from her subjects.
At the bottom of the list of tax
payers comes the Russian, Bulga-
rian, Serviau and Swiss.
To clear the world of debt it
would be necessary to mortgage
England, Ireland and Scotland,
with all their property of every
kind, to almost exactly half its
value of $12, ,25O, 900, 900.

Narrow Escape in a Runaway.

A very exciting runaway occurred
late yesterday afternoon and a serious
accident was barely averted. The lit
tie son Of Mr.. Iredell Meares was driv-
ing his pony, hitched to a road cart,
when the animal became frightened and
ran down Market street. The cart
struck a post in front of McEachern's
grain store, throwing out the boy and
d~eteaching the Wheels n axle. When
Water street vas reached, the pony
turned down that street and was not
stopped until he got to Stones whole
sale grocery store. Luckily neither
young Meares o the pony were hurt,
but the cart was completely demolish-
ed. The runaway occurred when Mar
street was full Of shoppers and
caused considerable excitement.
