One of the most peculiar suits at law
ever brought before any court is soon
to be tried in Van Buren, county, Mich
igan, between two neighbors and old
friends. One of the men, II. d. Burrell
of South Haven, keeps about sixty
colonies of bees. The other is peach
grower. A few months ago the latter
complained of the formers bees de-
stroying the early Crawford peaches
claiming that the bees came into his
orchard in large numbers, bit holes in
the fruit and rendered it unm&rketable
for which he demanded 5000. Prof. j
NJ. Rankin Of the agricultural college
and the entomologist of the Agricul-
tural department at Washington will
be called as expert witnesses by the
defence in a suit for damages.

with considerable detail the vices and
disagreeable traits of the people which
they profess to describe. only two hun

.LAWTON RESTS IN ARLINGTON Burial Services Were Beautiful in Their SO|emnity' HOME COMING OF 4 HERO Lines of Infantry, Troops of Cavalry, Batteries of Artillery, and Grey
  Haired Officers Made the Cere- mony Most Impressive.
HOME COMING OF 4 HERO

Washington, February 9.-Major General Henry w. Lawton was buried today in the national cemetery at Arlington. It was nations tribute to a national hero, and the sorrow of whole people was express ed when America added the ehaplet of cypress to the brow that so long had worn the laurel.
 The burial service beneath the leaf1ess tress at Arlington was preceded by serv- ices in the Church of the Covenant. on Connecticut avenue. at which every de- pertinent of the government was represent ed, including the president, congress, the supreme court, all the ranking officers of the army and navy within reach of Wash ington, Lawton's old comrades of the line and staff the diplomatic corps in all its brilliance of uniform and decoration and as many citizens of all degrees as were for tunante enough. to find standing room with in the walls. But the crowd within was insignificant, compared with the thousands who braved the lowering winters day for a glimpse of the flag draped caisson with its military escort as it passed through the streets. Hundreds more made the toilsome pilgrimage to Arlington to hear the last words pronounced above the open grave where the president, cabinet and the gen. eral commanding the army stood with bowed heads till the last volley had been fired and the bugle sounded taps. ft
 It was the home coming of hero. For several weeks ever since the fatal news from San Mateo has been flashed around the world the country had waited to pay it's last tribute to the dead. Lawton, to the great bulk of Americans, had been the in- carnation of the American soldier, He had made his mark in the civil war from the Mississippi to the sea and in the interval of potential peace it was he who had beaten at his own game, Geronimo, the greatest master of desert craft and noun tain fighting that the world has ever known, and who, in the new problems of tropic war had proved the most daring and resoureeful of all the generals in the field It was in tribute togthsse qualities that the Lawton fund had in aefew weeks been swelled past all the expectations ef Its originators, for America knew that. Law ton being a soldier first and only, had left to those who loved him, no heritage save his sword and a spotless name.
 Lay in Church of the Covenant
 For day and night the. body of the soldier lay in state in the Church of the Covenant. So it lay this morning when the doors were opened, troopers from his old command, with saibers down. keeping vigil at head and foot. Beneath the soft lights of the altar rose tropic jungle of palms and higher than the fiag-draped coffin rose banks of flowers, tributes from every quarter of the land. At his head hung in dim folds the d!ngy battle flag from San Mateo still on it's bamboo staff

and supported by one of the men who was insar him when he fell.
 From the ceihng hung the red centered flag of tfhe Eighth corps, under which he had won perpetual fame in two island swars. About him as the shrall pipes of the organ tren5bled with the opening anthem stood grouped his superqors and his brother officers, with whom and for whom his life work had been done.
 Close ito the coffin sat President Mckinley and on his right the secretary of state. With them were the secretary of war; the attorney general, the secretary of the navy, the postmaster general, the secretary of the treasury, tine secretary of the interior and the secretary of agriculture. Close by We're Mrs. Lawton, little Manley and the others of the family and to the left General Miles, General Merritt, General Brooke General S,hafter and their staff officers all in uniform and all Lawton's comrades who at one time or another had camped and fought with him.
 In the body of the church was a scarcely Jess notable gathering of assistant secre- taries. and heads of bureaus. the military committees of the house and senate, diplo- mats, the orientals in their flowing robes Of rsombre color, and the Europeans resplen- dent in decorations, prominent among etlem being, the Spanish minister.s2s s; e4 $
 There were delegations from the local legion. the Grand Army and other patriotic societies.
 Chaplain Pierce of Lawton's old com mand read from the PreSoy terian burial service that epist1e to the Corinthians whose words of comfort seem freshly pruned for each occasion of interment. Then President Stryker of Hamilton col 1ege New York, clad in divinity robes, rose to deliver the cration. He had been se- lected personally by tine secretary of war who knew his fitness for the task. The choice was amply justified. Seldom has any ceremony called forth a tribute more scholarly and eloquent. more simple and direct and more appropriate and fitting to the occasion.

Troopers Lifted the Cofirn

A dozen troopers as the doctor closed lifted the flower laden coffin and bore it to the door, where three thousand soldiers and citizens in great number waited to honor the soldier in his last march to his final resting place the Virginia hillside be- yond the Potomac. With a chatter of hoofs the cavalry escort cantered forward to form the guard of honor. Orders flung from rank to rank down the broad avenue brought troop and platoon wheeling into line. With crepe and shrouded colors low cred they filed past, scarlet capped artillery men, cavalry with their orange plumes and facings and the ranks of blue-clad infantry moving with machine-like cadence. At the rear with rumble of heavy wheels and clash of trace chains came the guns, field batter ies and siege trains.
 Ahead of the scores of carriages was the flag draped, flower laiden ~eaisson. the ideal soldiers bier, and behind it was the officers chargers in shroud of black, with the boots reversed in the stirrups, a picturesque remnant of the superstition in this mate rialist day of machine guns and smokeless powder. It was dreary wait in the cold { wind swept slopes of Arlington for the hundreds who had made the pilgrimage early in the day. But close on sunset the booms of the Sylphs guns on the Potomac 2 was answered by the crash of minute guns i from FocIt Myer, and then the solemn notes of the dirge was borne on the wind as the procesS.ons moved through the winding avenues of the great city of the dead. The grave was in open space just south of the aInphitheater, and in sight of the mansion house. General Merritt and his mounted staff depfoyed on the south road, while solid ranks of dismounted troopers held back the crowd on every side. Nfmble zoavalrymen swarmed over the caisson, casting loose the 5 leashings, and bore the coffin to the open grave while the president and the cabinet E with the grey-haired generals stood silent and watched as the chaplain announced the words of commital that consigns forever the honored dust to the dust from whence it came.
 Then in answer to a low command the ffifing squadron wheeled into line. The snaPpink volleys1o of the cafibines scarcely echoed among the bare trees, but the wall of the bugle as 1t sounded "taps" fingered long and sadly in the grey of the winter twilight and echoed faintly from the distant hills. As it died away the coffin sank from view. General Lawton's home coming was accomplished. ...,t,..ss
