TRIBUTE TO DAVIS.
Remains of the Late Senator Viewed
by Thousands.

/
! St. Paul, Nov. 30.-Thousands of peo-
pie passed through the governors room
in the Minnesota capitol, where the body
of the late United States Senator Cush-
/ man Kellogg Davis lay in state. At an
early hour the military and police escort
marched to the Davis residence ON Far
, rington avenue.
| BY virtue of Senator Davis rank in
public life his remains would have had au
escort of major generals command,
/ which would mean, since the state has no
cavalry, a regiment of infantry and the
battalion of artillery. Such an escort
could not be readily summoned and did
mot meet with the approval of the sena-
tors family, who desired that the serv-
ices be in every way as simple as possi-
ble Therefore the military escort con-
sisted of Company ID, First Nj. n. G.,
Captain NJ. l.. Merrill commanding, most
Of whom were veterans of the Philippine
campaign as members of the Thirteenth
Minnesota volunteers, and detachment
of Battery A, NJ. N. G., under Lieuten-
ant Allen, who acted as body bearers.
Leaving the house, the procession,
headed by detachment of police, march
ed slowly to the capitol. Between lines
of citizens the casket was carried to
cataIalque III the governors s south cnam-
ber. The main corridor of the building
was draped with Grape. In the center of
the chamber lay the body underneath
chandelier hung with Grape and smiaX.
Broad bands of Grape stretched from the
corners and walls Of the room to the
chandelier in the center. Similar drapings
were hung over each of the broad doors.
SmilaX and ferns and potted plants oecu-
pied the corners of the room and were
banked in the windows.
The catafalque was draped with the
national colors, and the casket was sur
rounded with floral tributes. AT its head
rested an oil portrait of the dead states
man, at its foot the sword he carried
through the civil war.
a double line Of guards was formed
about the bier, and all classes of society
were in the crowds which passed in
| continuous line for hours, paying their
last tribute to The dead.

NEW YORK VICE CRUSADE.
Eow the Committee of Fifteen May
DeGin Its work.

New York, Nov. 30.-Charles Stewart
Smith, who presided ut the citizens vice
repression meeting in the chamber OF
commerce, has received many letters bear
ing upon the movement there inaugural
ed He is to call conference of mem
bers of the committee as soon as they
shall have accepted the appointment.
Plan and scope will then be arranged.
For himself Mr.. Smith said:
"NVe have enough laws on morality, If
they were only enforced. We have enough
laws 10 prevent theft in Office, il they
We're only enforced. In proportion to the
population and the number of politicians
there is as much theft in public places
now, as much official blacknail, as there
was in the time of Tweed. And as the
population is now so much larger the
stealings are, of course, much greater.
Before the LeXow committee the most
universal practice was for the collections
to be made by the policemen, but now,
understand, the police do not collect as
much as certain persons who haye no
official connection whatever with the city
government, but who nevertheless can be
relied to pass the money on up to those
who have the power to levy blackmail.
But there is Il way to reach even these
cases, and it would be within the scope of
the committees work to appoint an at
torney and make certain test cases. The
only trouble has been that the complaint
of the individual citizen has been ignored,
but the committee of fifteen will be in a
position TO make its requests felt. / have
heard it said that we may request the
mayor to do something. Well, as Tam
many admits that something should be
done, it would not be an unreasonable re-
quest"
East side women have undertaken to
give what aid they can to the committee
of fifteen, which is to do what is posi-
BILE toward the repression of vice through
out the city. At a meeting in Liberty
hall, 75I East Houston street they also
started a movement which will particu-
larly concern itself with the bad condi-
tions in that neighborhood.
The committee of fifteen is as follows:
james c. Carter, John s. Kennedy.

HEALTH HINTS.
A Physician Gives Some Facts Worth
Carefully Noting.

Health Is the regular performance OF
Az the vital functions
one vital function is the distribution
Of the blood in proper proportion 10
every part. Another is the taking into
Inc lungs rs times a minute of so mu
alr that one-hfth of it shall oxygenate
every blood cell. Another is the d.
gestion OF so much food that by It the
body-heat shall be kept up and the
wastes OF tissues be rebuilt.
Another Is such activity of the skin.
lungs. bowels and kidneys that an
waste matter from food and tissues
shall be excreted and expelled. An
other is such activity of all the glands
hat a suhiciency Of bile, intestinal
luid gastric juice. saliva, etc. shall be
accretcd to accomplish their several
purposes.
Chims always disturb the circulation
" the blood.
Overcating and eating improper foods
always injure digestion.
Surface chills partially ligature the
veins and dangerously distend the ar
tories. Distended arteries are the pre-
lude to congestion.
Congestion is the near forerunner Of
inflammation. Inflammation stagnatea.
overheats, rots
Lazy peptic glands mean dyspepsia.
Sluggish bile means constipation, gain
stones. intestinal dyspepsia.
Whip lazy livers up with diluted
lemon Juice, less sweets and fats IN
food and gentle pounding over the liver
i've minutes twice a day.
Constipation is internal poisoning.
Better go unwashed a month than four
days with an uncleansed colon.
Tight-htting clothing on the abdomen
dcbilitates the muscles by which tie
colon cleanses itself.
Exercise of a muscle calls extra
blood TO It and gives it extra food.
Over-exercise of a muscle stagnates
blood in it and by congestion stops nu-
triton.
The difference between slight wea-
riness and great tiredness is, the first
IS a step toward greater vlgor, the Sec
ond is a. leap toward death.
Sleep winds up the animal olockworS.
If but half wound it must run down the

A guilty conscience and INDUCED bad
temper breed bad nerve-cells any
