"DICK" THOMPSON DEAD.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Under Hayes and
Historic Political Figure Passes
Away at Terre Haute.

Terre Haute, Ind, Feb. 1O.-Rich-
ard Thompson, eX-secretary of the
navy, died early this morning. He
was 81 years old. The year of his
birth, 1909, produced Lincoln, Hamlin,
Darwin, Tennyson, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, Robert C. Winthrop and Glad
stone. Sixty-six years ago he was
elected to the house of representatives
of Indiana and his public life began at
that time. He was active in politics at
a still earlier date, however, for he
took the stump for Clay in 1882. In
every presidential canvass from that
year onward, including that of 1896,
he made speeches. Col. Thompson
had met every president except two.
Those were Washington and the first
Adams. He saw Jefferson, Madison
and Monroe after they had retired
from public life, and his active politi-
cal career brought him in contact
with their successors.

BURIED AT ARLINGTON.
Lemains of Gen. LawtOn Laid to Rest at.
ter = Most Impressive Funeral Serv-
ice at Washington.

Washington, Feb. 1o-Mai. Gen.
Henry w. Lawton was buried Friday
in the national cemetery at Arlington.
The services at the grave were pre-
coded by those at the Church of the
Covenant Presbyterian in this city,
where President II. NJ. Stryker, of
Hamilton college, n. Y, delivered a
funeral GRAFTON that has seldom been
equaled in beauty of expression, nor
could it have been in more perfect
accord with the spirit of the solemn
occasion that called it forth. Never
in the history of the capital has there
been more representative gathering
of the nations official life to pay last
tribute to the nations honored dead.
No mark of military pomp and cere-
mony which regulations could provide
was wanting to render the occasion
solemn and impressive. Nearly all
the available troops of the regular es-
tab1ishment remaining in this country
were called out. Three thousand
men, infantry, cavalry and artillery,
followed the fag-draped caisson to
the grave.
But mere official formulate were
dwarfed beside the deep popular dem
onstration that the burial of the dead
soldier called forth. Every depart
ment of the government paid it's Of
fetal tribute. Flags hung at half
mast. The president and his cabinet,
representatives of the supreme court,
of the house and senate and of the
army and navy, all combined to fill
the darkened church to its utmost.
But these official representatives of
the people were lost in the great
crowds that surrounded the church
and lined the streets along which the
procession passed. Lawton was to the
people the ideal American soldier
whose exploits in three wars made his
name a household word and who, be-
ing a soldier, first and only, died in
the line of duty, leaving nothing to
his children but the heritage of an
honOred name.

Glow sweet, how pure they are
she said, breathing the fragrance of
the apple blossoms on the branch he
bent down for her.
Like your-like maiden's love-

'And how quickly they wither and
come to naught-another similarity.
she said, with malice aforethought.
"Or turn hard and sour and fill us
with pain and anguish if, like silly lit
tie boys, we think we like them,' he
amended, grimly, aware of her object.
For half a second she looked into his
scowling eyes with relenting twinkle
growing in her own.
But if we have a little patience
they grow sweet and wholesome
again, and-and delicious for domes-
tic uses-pies, for instance" she wills

stare. Then heaven sent him a spark

Washington, Feb. 12.-Although the

$4,000 capital or less and 535, or 40

siyely to lack of capital.

London, Feb. Startling intelli-
gence comes from Kimberley in the
Cape newspapers just received by
mail in London. 1t appears that since
January S, the rations at Kimberley
have been for the most part horse
flesh, 50 repugnant to wol2en and
children that many refuse to eat.
1t also appears that the death rate
has been heavy and that the priva-
tions of the garrison have been in
creasing steadily.
