Washington, Jan. 1.-THE state
ment Of John Barrett, eN-minister to
Siam, that it was the anti-expansion
speech Of Senator Hoar cabled by way
Of Hong Kong to AguinaldO IN Luz
zon that precipitated the Filipino in
surrectiOn, has led to an inquiry as to
who paid the $1,000, the amount It
cost to cable Senator HOar's message
OF sympathy and comfort to the rebel
hous Tagalos. This has brought out
the report that Andrew Carnegie
paid the bill. It is said that Mr.. Car
negie's connection with the sending
Of Senator HOar's speech TO AguinaldO
has been known to government OH
Gals for some time. The statement
that Mr. Carnegie paid the cable tolls
was made by a member Of congress

Statement by Andrew Carnegie.

from Washington TO a Philadelphia
paper it was stated on the authority
Of a congressman that Andrew Carne-

winter to the rebels In the Philip

lowing statement last night: 81 did
not pay the cable tolls for Senator

that amount to a fund for the circula-

KEYTEsvILLE MISSOURI FRIDAY MARCH 2. 1900

O'Clock in the evening of the 22nd HI
received for the last time the sacra
ments of the Catholic church. Amos
to the last moments he had the use o
his senses and responded to the pray
ers offered up for the dying. He
died from consumption, aged 26
years, month and 22 days. During
his long sickness the greatest care
was shown him by his uncle and aunt,
who loved him as their own child
Kind neighbors also exhibited their
esteem and love for the deceased by
watching al his bedside day and night.
During the last month before his de-
mise his desolate mother and brother,
Daniel. came up from Carondelet and
watched with anxiety at his bedside.
Frequently the Christian young man
fortified himself by devoutly receiving
the last sacraments during his linger-
ing illness, preparing himself for the
great journey to eternity. Saturday
morning at II O'Clock the corpse was
brought into the Church of the I'M
maculate Conception, which was
tastefully decorated by Miss Joanna
Berney. Requiem High Mass was
celebrated by Rev. Father UbaIdus,
0. F. M. The musical part
of the solemn funeral service at the
church and at the grave was we'll rem
dered by a quartet of courageous
young ladies of the Wien church
choir, who dared to make the trip of
10 miles during the raging cold spell.
Miss Sophia Fessler presided at the
organ, and was assisted in the chant
by Misses Catherine Schumacher,
Lizzie and Anna Kaungiesser.
After the 'Libera" the officiating
priest held a short funeral sermon in
the church, and then conducted the
corpse to the grave, where the last
rites were performed under the heart

Tip Mansur a Candidate

We had hoped that Judge w. "
Rucker would have no opposition fol
congress this yearf and that the plar
of making a change of representative:
every two years would be abandoned
in this district But such is not the
case. w. H. Mansur of Chillicothe
a brother of the late lamented Chas
H. Mansur, has announced himself a
candidate for congress, and we sup.
pose will enter at once upon a vigor-
Gus canvass of the district. We re-
gret the candidacy of Mr.. Mansur be-
cause, personally, we have a very
high regard for him as a Christian
gentleman, but we do not believe
there Is necessity for doing other
wise than to permit Judge Rucker to
have another term unmolested.
There are very few new members
that have ever taken higher rank
among his colleagues than has Judge
Rucker. His industry, coupled with
his ability, makes him a useful men,
Der OF congress, and for this reason his
constituents would be justifable and
safe in sending him back.
1t may be said that change at the
end of two years has been the policy
of the district heretofore in many
instances, but that does not make it
right nor does it prove that it is
polite to do so. We believe in rota-
ton in office where there is good rea-
son to rotate. We would favor a law
lengthening all official terms, and
making the incumbent ineligible after
serving one term.

The Tomb.

Saidee Elizabeth, daugeter OF Mr.
and Mrs. VIM. C. CASTOR of Keytes
vile, departed this life after a week.
illness of pneumonia on the afternoon
OF February rs, 1900, aged 3 years,
5 months and 10 days. This lovely
child gladdened the hearts of the
household Of which it was tiny mem.
Der for brief period only, but like
the bud clipped from the stem before
1t becomes a full rose, she has
been snatched from the fond embrace
OF loved ones here and transplanted
into a falrer cline, where she will
bloom In eternal beauty. She will
forever dwell IN the presence of Him,
who while on earth said: Suffer little
children to come unto me. for of such
IS the kingdom of heaven" We know
from sad experience how far short
words of sympathy come to filling the
aching void occasioned by the taking
away of loved ones whose mortal re.
mains we lay away in the silent city of
the dead, but there are two classes
whose demise we should not mourn
the adult Christian and the child of
tender years. Of these we may say
as did David of old concerning his
deceased child: 1T can never come
TO me but can 60 to it." Blessed
though, the separation if we so will
is only for a few years.
On account of the absence of Clar-
ence, who has been at school in Bos-
ton the past year, and who was tele-
graphed for, and who could not reach
home before Thursday afternoon,
the funeral was deferred until Fri
day. Services were held at the
family residence by Revs. Corr and
Finley, after which interment took
place in the City cemetery, there to
await the rising of those who "take
part in the first resurrection
