own father. who was at that time In Bal
timore. His spiritual advisers responded
at once. and his father came the morning
following. Since then until Friday fuhk
father has been a daily visitor at the
fail, extending to his son all the encour-
ayement and consolation he was able to.
On Friday Mr.. Funk left Washington Tor
Canton to make q personal appeal TO the
President for Communication OF the SEN
tence of his son from the death penalty
to Imprisonment for life. Before gong
to Canton. Mr.. Funk, with Messrs. BAKER
and Wolf, the prisoners counsel, nieu an
appeal with the Attorney General OF the
United States, asking that the condemned
mans sentence be committed to imprison-
ment for life. The petition was referred
by the Department of Justice to District
Attorney Anderson. The latter Is absent
from the city, and the papers were for
warded to him. 1t is expected that the
papers will be received by Mr.. Anderson
today, and that after making his recon-
mendation they will be Immediately re-
turned to the Attorney General. Presi-
dent Mckinley is expected to arrive in
Washington Thursday morning. The petit
ton for executive clemency with the
recommendation Of the Attorney General
and District Attorney Anderson Will then
be submitted to him.
For some few days past Funk has been
confined In the cell once coupled by Gull
teau, the assassin of President GARFIELD,
but he will be removed from it before the
day set for his execution. Notwithstand-
Ing the many reverses Funk has met in
his efforts to secure q new trial. his
spirit is not broken. He talks as en-
phstically as ever when contend!ng that
he is innocent Of the crime for which he
10 sentenced to die. Not long ago he in
formed the warden of the jail that he
did not wish to talk to reporters for
newspapers and since then has been &C.
cupying his time writing upon religious
subjects.

FUNK'S Hopes REVIVED
Receives an Encouraging Despatch
From Canton.
His Father Sees President Mckinley
and II Impressed That C1cmency
Will Be Extended to the Con-
dcmned Man-Elated Over the Mes
sage-Prcparation for Execution.

Frank W. Funk, who Is confined In the
District Jail. under sentence to be hanged
for the murder Of William H. Brooks. re-
ceived telegram from his father yester-
day, stating that he had seen President
Mckinley at Canton and that the Presi-
dent had greatly encouraged him In the
belief that his son would not be permit
ted to hang. but that the sentence would
be committed to imprisonment for life
Funk, who appears to have never lost
hope, and who, from the very beginning,
has maintained that he would never hang,
was much eIated at this cheering news,
but the prison officials only shook their
heads and announced that tomorrow they
would commence the preparations for the
execution. The gallows to be used is tho
one from which Charles Guiteau, President
James A. Garfields assassin, made his final
plunge. 1t has never been taken down.
but stands within the Jail corridor a
silent reminder Of every execution that
has taken place within those walls since
that memorable day.
The preparations will be rather simple
and will include the draping OF all windows
commanding view of the scaffold. the in
spection Of all Its working parts. the test
ing Of II and Of the rope, and the tying OF
the hangman's knot.
Considering the confinement Funk has
retained his health to remarkable de-
gree. He both eats and sleeps well. The
papers In the case, on which Funk and his
friends base their hope for a reprieve, will
probably not reach the President until his
return to this city on Thursday morning,
but 1t is understood that he will then give
them his immediate attention.
Unless the President interferes Funk
will be hanged on Friday next. He was
convicted of the murder of William II.
Brooks on December "a last. and ever
since has stoutly commended that he is
innocent of the crime for which he is con-
demned to die upon the scaffold.
Over four months ago Funk was con-
verted and embraced the Cathc0c faith.
Since then he has almost daily receiv-
ed visits from Fathers Mcguire and
o'Donohue, his spiritual advisers. Not
long after Funk was baptized he made
his FIRST confession and little later was
confirmed. Notwithstanding his embrac-
ing the Catholic faith Funk attends near
ly all the services held under the aus
pices Of other denominations at the Jail.
Yesterday be attended the three religious
services held there.
About ten days ago when Funk was in
formed that the Supreme Court Of the
United States had denied his petition for

any surprise. but Immediately sent for

Government Seeds.

The seeds to be distributed
by the Congressman will be
put up by Charles Parker, of
Santa Clara, Cal, he having
secured the contract. He
will begin the work on Jan.
10. The Congressman will
then proceed to SOW their
agricultural products with the
hope of reaping votes for a
harvest. The seeds are divid-
ed into five classes-veg-
etable, flower, tobacco, cot
ton and lawn grass. The
Senators from Arkansas, and
the Representatives from the
Fifth and Sixth districts of
that State, the Senators and
Representatives from Flori-
da, the Senators from Georgia
and the Representatives from
the Ninth District of that
State, the Senators and Rep
resentatives from Mississippi,
Representatives from South
Carolina and all from Ten
nessee except the First and
Second District Represen-
tatives will receive 1890
packages of vegetable seeds
400 packages of flower seeds,
10 packages Of tobacco seeds,
go quarts of cotton seed,
and sixty packages of lawn
grass seeds. Other appor-
tionments are also made with
a view of supplying the sew
eral States with seeds that
are needed by reason of GER
tain soil and climatic con-
ditions. Theapportionments,
however, do not cut such a.
great figure, as the members
swap seeds. A country
member can secure seeds
from a town member, because
the constituents of the latter
do not wish them. An idea
may be gained of the enor-
nous amount of seeds sent
out in this way when it is
noted that 10000 pounds of
cucumber seeds alone are dis
tributed. The seed dealers,
of course, are up in arms
against this practice Of the
Government.

The Weather Bureau.

The forecasts and warnings of
the United States Weather Bureau,
remarkable in accuracy and in
variably prompt, have been a great
value to agriculture, and with a
little effort upon the part of far
mers, might be more generally util-
liked. The approach sof storms,
freezing weather, floods and all
dangerous atmospheric disturban-
ces, are forecasted, and heralded in
every section, in one way and
another. There are no avenues of
publicity that are not used for the
transmission, and in every little
town, where there is a railroad,
telegraph, telephone or stage line,
forecasts of the weather can be
found or secured. The farm
telephone is of great value in this
connection. Last year the Bureau
distributed %, 53l,5OO forecasts,
warnings, maps and bulletins to en-
able people to know what the NOR
row would bring forth in the way
of atmospheric dangers. The SER
vice has saved millions of dollars
worth of property from injury and
1t is too expensive a
service for the farmer to neglect to
take the fullest possible advantage
of it.

Sc, 600 appropriated to buy a site
for the erection of a 100000 cot

of the old Howell E. Jackson place
Just across Forked Deer river from

previously selected by the Boston
capitalists as being the most desir-
able for the proposed mill. Deeds
for the land have been acknowledged
and delivered and work on the plant
is expected to begin at an early
date. The prompt action of the
committee has forestalled threatened

public buildings, prisons,
railroads in which the State
was largely interested, and
damage to the latter by
Federal troops during the
civil war.
The Government has a
counter claim against the
State, amounting to about
one-half the States claim,

adjustment of the claims was
placed in the hands of three
members of the Cabinet.
The State is represented by
Mr.. Scales, Mr.. Vertrees and

there is very good prospect
