and the same roads showed gross

MINISTERS TO FORM A TRUST.
The Fees for Funeral Services at Ar
cola, ILL.,, Are to Be Up
held.

The initial step has been taken in the
formation of a novel trust among the
ministers of Arcola, ILL.,, and it is not
unlikely that new scale of prices soon
will be in evidence at all funeral SER
mons preached in the city. The founda-
ton for the trust was laid a few days
ago when the wife of a poor laborer
died. When he sought the aid of To-
cal minister to preach the funeral SER
mon the minister demanded one dollar,
which the applicant had to borrow.
Meantime the report had reached
some of the members of the minister's
flock, and he was asked over the tele-
phone if the news were true. This he
denied, but said hereafter he would re-
quire fee before giving his services at
funerals.
The announcement has been made
that the ruling is to stand, and another
announcement, signed by the minister
of another church, appeared in the col
umns of local paper stating that he
also favored funeral fee, and desired
to aid his brother minister in estab-
fishing seal of prices.

and Gen. Miles on Friday Witnessed.
the laying of the corner stone IN a
shaft which will .perpetuate in bronze
and granite the heroism of the army;
of the Potomac. Tt was an impressive
ceremony and rendered the more SO
by the fact that among the hundreds
who Witnessed the event were noted
leaders of both the federal and the
confederate forces. The monument
was the personal gift of Gen. Daniel
Bntter6eld to the National Memorial
association. This in itself was a
unique feature, as the battlefield
monuments heretofore have been
mostly the gifts of corporated socie-
ties OF. furnished by popular subscrip-
tions. Gen. Butterfeld himself was
present and assisted in the ceremony,
but owing to i'll health the committaI
of the monument to the secretary of
war was made by Col. Hill, one Of the
veterans of the Fifth corps. The
ceremony was with due masonic rites
and at its completion the secretary of
war accepted the gift in the name of
the American people,. t545ss.
The visit of the president to Fred
ericksburg was primarily in honor Of
the annual reunion of the Army of the
Potomac. The town was IN gala dress,
and turned out en- masse to receive it's
distinguished visitors. The president
and his cabinet were welcomed at the
courthouse, which was decorated with
the national colors and the various
corps flags of the Army of the Po-
tomac. Welcoming speeches were
made by prominent veterans from
both sides of the civil war, and after
ward the president held an informal
reception at the home of St. George R.
Fitzhugh, where he was welcomed by
hundreds of the town folk, Doth white
and colored.

RUSSIA PAYS A BIG DEBT.
War Obligations of 742,OOO,OOO
Rubles Cleared OF in Eight
Years.

An imperial ukase has been pub
ished announcing the redemption of
the debt Of the imperial treasury to
the state bank for bank notes issued
for the purpose of meeting the ex-
penses of the wars of 1886 and 1877
70. It provides that henceforward no
bank notes shall be issued to meet the
requirements of the treasury.
This Liquidation is regarded as an
indication that the imperial treasury
will not need further loans to meet
the budget expenditure.
In 1881 the war debt of the treas
ury to the Bank of Russia aggregated
964, 100000 rubles. When NJ. de Witte,
Russian minister Of finance, assumed
his portfolio in 1892 the debts still to-
tailed 742,00o.oo0 rubles This entire
amount has been extinguished within
less than eight years.

on PRIME IMPORTANCE.


Vice Consul Murphy at Magdebur&
fas transmitted TO the state depart
nent an extract from German pub
iication OF recent date containing
facts and figures which indicate
strongly the prime Importance OF Ger
many's trade with the United States.
a statement OF the exports to tho
United States from the consular dis
tricts in northern Germany alone for
the first quarter of 1900 is shown al
amounting to $751; 900. The amount
is nearly double the value OF the ex-s
ports during the first quarter Of 1898.
These figures are for northern Ger
many alone. When the amounts for
the remainder of the empire are added
the total is estimated at about S142,-
100000.
How many thousands of Germans
are now dependent upon this trade for
their support" says the article,
would be without bread if it were to
suddenly stop" In the trade with the
United States Germany has won an
Important position, standing next to
England in the matter of goods ex-
ported to the United States last year.
In 1898 the United States imported
$1o, roc, 900 worth of sugar from Ger
many. The amount of sugar in by
gone years that had been sent from.
Germany to the United States has
varied with the crops, in favorable
years as much as So, 100000 worth be-
ing exported to that country. This
immense trade in sugar, the article
states, twill continue provided peace
full and friendly relations are main
tanned with the United States. But if
the Americans are forced into retali-
alton by the strict enforcement of the
meat inspection law and friendly
trade relations are ruptured, the ex-
portation of German sugar to the
United States will come to stop and
Germany be left without a purchaser
for the enormous mass of sugar pro-
duced." T.. ...-o- - ~
