HUNDREDS
AT HERYEY
FUNERAL
Which Occurred zestsrday Morning
from Historic Stone Church
Il in Him Grove.
SERVICES WERE IMPRESSIVE
But Simple IN Their charactsr-T rth-
utss from the Lips Of Revs.
Allen and Greer.

.
The circumstances surrounding his
death and the large measure OF esteem
enjoyed by the deceased were the occa-
sion Of a large concourse OF friends a.
the Stone Church, Elm Grove, yester-
day morning, at II o'clock when the
funeral services were held over the re-
mains Of James Hervey, who was MUIR
dered at his home, near Elm Grove, last
Thursday night. The dastardly AFFAIR
aroused the iutensest feeling, and II
was shown on the faces Of the men
who had been his nelghbors and known
Mr.. Hervey for many years, and in
some cases all Of their Lives. and re-
straint would have been impossible
had the guilty parties been within ae-
cess when the cold clay was being
shpveled over the victim OF one Of the
fouiest murders ever committed In this
county.
The services were simple, but singu-
larly impressive. Only intimate friends
and relatives viewed the remains at
the Hervey homestead. but GOO people
had gathered at the church when the
hearse arrived, and the little edlflee
on the hill was damned to the limit.
It was not a gathering attracted by
morbid curiosity; It was an assemblage
Of the stalwart citizens Of the commune
ity, silent, respectful and Borrowing.
Rev. w. E. Allen, pastor Of the church.
assisted by Rev. Laverty Greer. the
superannuated pastor, conducted the
services. Addresses were made by
both, and the feeling tributes that
dropped from the lips OF the venerable
ex-pastor moistened many eyes.
The paIlbearers were Messrs, o. N.
Hervey, John Clark, Arthur Carter, D.
r .Thornburg. John Creighton and c. s.
Carroll. The lnterment was at the
Stone Church cemetery.
Feeling over the sad taking-otf Of
James Hervey was evident in the conn
ments expressed at the funeral, and 1t
went so far as to censure any lawyer
who would defend the men now under
arrest, who are firmly believed to be the
guilty parties by the citizens Of Triadel-
phIa district. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that, given the opportunity, a
Iynching bee would not want for lead
ers. although calner counsel might pre-
vail.

PHILIPPINE INSANITY.
The United states Government Inves-
 tigating Mysterious Disease.


 Much attention has been called to the number of men in the army serving in the Philippines who have gone in- sane. The government has sent special commission out there to inves- tlgate the matter, and there has been talk of mysterious disease called the Soudanese Fever" It is believed by some that this disease is peculiar to East Indian and African tropics: that It was this which caused Dr. Peters to get into trouble for killing Africans aud made tho French officers in .he in- terior of Africa recently s,ay other of- fleers sent to their relief. Everybody has heard of the Malay who runs amuek and, frenzied, kills right anc left until he himself is killed. The word "amuek" is corruption of the Javanese word "amoak," to kill. There seems to be no doubt that the Malay occasionally goes crazy through an oyerindulgence in opium or hasheese and, springing from his shack" runs naked through the streets of the vil- lage, killing all whom he may meet. When in a Malay village the cry TAmuck" is raised, 1t is like the cry of Mad dog!" in an American village, and the populace turns out with long bamboo spears ard kills the man as soon as they can. But the .'Soudanese feyer," if it exists, is another thing apparently It may be that the disease which has afflicted white men in the Philippines and in equatorial Africa is only variation of apoplexy brought on by indulgence in heating and stimu, lating foods. The London Lancet re- gently had something about the alleg- ed disease. People who had been af. f1icted with 1t and had recovered said that they had sudden sensation of a 2esire to kill, and that they "sa N red" A sudden afflux of blood to the head and the bursting of blood vessel would produce insanity or coma. Tn northern climes it more usually re- suits in coma; in the tropics it seems to result in insanity. All the soldiers of our army ii the Philippines who have been sent back as insane have been violent.

Guarding .hs rrnns-siberlan Railroad.

Guarding th6 TranssSIDerian haiir0Su.
 The Trans-Siberian railroad is very closely guarded, the management feels ing personally responsible for the peos ole they carry on their trains. Tha road is divided into sections of one yerst, or five-eighths of mile. In aeat little log house. usually in a gar den, live the guard and his people. The average family is wife and five tow-headed children. The houses were built by the company and evidently with view to meeting the demands of increasing families. The guard or a member of his family must patrol his section night and day. He steps to the side of the track as the 'C1ain ap, proaches and after it has passed steps back into the middle of the track. holds a small green flag In the air, at night a lantern, and stands like a statue until the train has entered ths next section. Severa. guards do duty In the heavy curves and frequently they are only few hundred feet apart Much of the track patroling is done by women. who have proved fully as re- liable as the men. The women are nearly always barefooted. and as they stand on the track holding the flag aloft. a Siberian breeze toying with their short skirts, they are fine sub- iects for a sculptor after unique model

AS was well said by Mr.. Bryan, you
need not own a people to trade with
them. "A friend is better customer
than an enemy. If we want the trade
of the Philippines, let us secure it as
we secure other trade, by the superb
GRITTY and cheapness of our products,
by fair treatment, and by the estab-
lishment of mutual confidence and
relations of good will These are the
conditions that bring trade-not con-

will pay.
A colonial empire may prove profita-

navy contractors, and to the favored
individuals, but it never can and never
will profit the country or the people as
a whole.
The only way in which the American
people could secure gain from the
possession of the Philippines would
be by the expansion of our trade with
them. The profit of such trade, in the
nature of things. could not be e. eater
than the value Of the commodities that
would pass in exchange. The total
value of the exports and imports of
the Philippine islands have in no year
exceeded 10000, 900. The profit on
such trade cannot be many millions.
and supposing it were doubled, trebled
or quadrupled, the profit would not be
large enough to hear the expense OF

me cite you to the last report of the
secretary OF war. He says, on page 60:

manded, ten men could have been had
for every one that was required. A
large standing army may be necessary
for the purpose of Imperialism, but it
is not necessary for the protection of
republican institutions, and its neces-
sity had never been urged until i'm
perialism made its appearance.
A popular government, while it
should have q small number Of trained
and efficient regular troops and suf-
ficient number Of officers for manning
it's defenses, for emergencies, an to
form nucleus in case Of need for
larger forces, should rely in the main
for the defense Of its institutions on
its volunteer citizen soldiery.
This we have done in the past, and
this is in harmony with the theory of
our institutions and the views of the
