SERVICES AT THE CEMETERY.
Thousands In Waiting at the Grave
ss Drenched by the Downpour-Addresses
: by Blackburn and Beckham-Funeral
Greatest Ever Held In Kentucky.


FRANKFORT. KY, Feb. 9.-Rain came
down in sheets while the funeral serv-
ices were being held over the body of
Kentucky's dead Democratic leader.
The rain began to fall slowly at first,
but with ever-inoreasing rapidity, until
shortly after the noon hour, when the
funeral procession was on the march,
the flood began to descend. There were
dry intervals, but after them the water
came again with increased viciousness,
and just as the hearse left the Capital
hotel, heavy shower began, which
continued all the afternoon. The exer-
cises in the cemetery, were conducted
before a crowd much smaller than
would have been the case had the
weather been pleasant, but they were
carried out to the letter, and the body Of
William Goebel now lies in the chapel
of the Frankfort cemetery, after one Of
the greatest funeral demonstrations ever
seen in the state.
1t had been feared that there might
arise trouble between the soldiers in the
capitol grounds and Democratic par
tisans in the line of march when the pa.
rade passed the capitol square, but
nothing of the kind occurred. Fully
10000 people were in the streets.
Around the freshly thrown up clay
and open grave was gathered a throne
of several thousand people, who waited
patiently for hours in the midst Of the
downpour for the funeral cortege to ap
pear. For half an hour before the long
procession reached the cemetery thu
rain came down in perfect deluge, ant
blown in sheets by a fitful south wind
drenched everyone to the skin. Blu
through it all they waited and wher
finally the hearse stopped at the wall
that leads to the chapel, the thousands
present stood silent and reverent as the
pallbearers slowly carried the casket t.
the porch of the little chapel. After {
short prayer and singing, Senator Jo
Blackburn was then introduced. There
was much confusion when the whit,
haired senator stepped forward, and HI
was finally compelled to stand on
table so that the throng might see him

KEEPS THINGS SECRET.
New Telegraph Instrument whose
Messages Can BE Read Only by
the Man mt the Wire.

Edwin f. Van Vechten has in his
office in Milwaukee n telegraph in
strument that is hoped to prove a
great aid in teaching the deaf, and at
the same time make it possible for
the deaf to become telegraph opera
tors. Besides this it is expected to
furnish railroads, governments, or
others using telegraph instruments
with practically secret service.
The new instrument is one de-
signed by George ii. Landgraf, an in
structor in the Menasha high school.
The principle upon which it operates
is the same as that of any standard
telegraph instrument now in use. In
stead of the receiver tickling forth
the sound loudly, as is customary in
order to communicate the message to
the ear of the operator, it's ticks cam
not be heard, but the message is COM
municated along short wire to
delicate sounder incased in small
hard rubber cylinder. BY placing
this sounder in the ear the message
can be plainly and distinctly heard as
it is licked off, although no sound
can be heard by one standing but
few feet away. This instrument
would make telegraph office noise-
less, and telegraph operator stroll
ing into the place would not be able
to hear messages that are frequently
desired to be kept from inquisitive
ears.
Still another interesting feature
about the instrument, the value of
which will probably not be known
until after it has been more eX-
tensively experimental with, is the
touch communicated by the sounder
to the teeth. BY placing the end of
the rubber cylinder between the
teeth the repeated ticks or blows
may be distinctly felt, and one who
knew the telegraph code could easily
read the message sent by the COM
munication thus received. The ticks
are clearly defined, and not confused,
and it is expected by Mr.. Van Vech-
ten that deaf and dumb persons may,
after learning the code, be able to
use the knowledge to financial advan-
tage, inasmuch as they would be as
serviceable as those who could hear
plainly.
The instrument has been applied to
small "bridge," or arch, upon tele-
graph wire. the wire being cut un-
derneath the bridge, and the mes
sages sent have been plainly heard by
attaching the sounder to the ear

FOREIGN SUBSTANCES.
To Remove Them from the Eye, Don't
wink or Rub. hut Dash Water
In Lightly.

A natural instinct impels a person
who feels pain or irritation to rub
the affected spot. When some triflng
object gets under the eyelid, one is
tempted to rub the exterior of the
lid, and thus unconsciously imbed the
object in the inner surface, thus rem
dering its ultimate removal more
difficult. Another almost irresistible
impulse prompts one to wink. This
operation is apt to have the same eff
feet. If the lid be promptly turned
inside out, though. danger from both
of these causes will be avoided, and
the discovery of the mischief making
particle may be promoted. II is bet
ter to have some one else do the
hunting, but if looking glass is at
hand perhaps the victim can see we'll
enough with the other eye to find the
object in question. A correspondent
of the Scientific American makes
these suggestions:
Gently hold the eve open with the
fingers and thumb of one hand. while
with the other hand dash light hand
fuls of water in and across it. so as to
produce current of water flowing
over all the surface of the eye. and
the under side of the lids. The effect
of this almost invariably is to push
the intruding object from the eye.
The eye should not be rubbed or
one lid drawn over the other, or
silk handkerchief drawn across the
affected part, but the eye should be
kept from winking as much as possi-
BILE, while prompt action is being
taken to cause n current of water to
pass over the surface of the ball.
This method is n copy from nature.
for when very fine dust enters the
eve nature seeks to relieve it by
means of the fluids which moisten
and lubricate the eye, and when lar
ger objects enter. and cling more
tenaciously, the irritation causes a
cop!ous discharge of tears. so that
the eye overflows. as nature tries by
flushing it to propel along and float
away with the current the cause of
the irritation.

ry any explosive charges. The latter
shells are intended. as their name in
dicates, wholly for armor-piercing
work.
When an enemy's ship attempts to
force a passage into New York har-
Dor, common shells, carrying black
powder or guncotton charges. will be
employed at long range, but if the ship
continues to approach she will be met
with armor-piercing shell. 1t is calcu-
lated that an energy of $4,000 foot-tons
will be developed by the force of inn
pact of one of these great shells. At
1000 yards distance, the shock of To-
inch shell has been figured out as
equivalent to the blow of a 6.0OO-ton
ship (almost the size of the battleship
TeXas) striking at a speed of 16
knots per hour. Nothing in the shape
of wood, iron and steel has ever been
devised that can withstand such a
frightful impact.
AS for the range, it is calculated that
the new 16-inch gun is capable Of
throwing she'll weighing 2.37O pounds
distance of 81 miles. The force at
the muzzle would lift Ga of the biggest
freight locomotives six feet in the air.

Texan felt something rulling at his

he found that little Indian girl was
trying to wake him. AS soon as the
child saw that his eyes were open she

srIquettes Made of snwdust.

In the large sawmills of Joseph
Fialla, in Austria, the sawdust is util-
lied by being made up into briquettes;
these form good combustible for
boiler furnaces or household use. The
sawdust is impregnated with mix
ture of tarry substances and heated
to the proper temperature; it is then
passed over plate of iron heated by
steam, from which screw conveyor
takes it to the screw press, where it
is compressed into briquettes of the
required size. The press turns out 10
per minute, weighing two-fifths of a
pound each and measuring by 26 by
1h inches. The calorific power is
about the same as that of Ignite, with
but four per cent. of ash. The factory
turns out more than 100000 bri-
quettes year; the cost is about 10
cents per thousand, and the selling
price reaches 81, leaving considerable
margin of profit.
