SHERMAN'S FUNERAL
Complete List of the Honorary Pall
 Bearers

Washington, October 23.-The following Is the complete list of honorary pall-bear- CTS for the funeral of former Secretary of State John Sherman tomorrow:
 Secretary Hay, Secretary Gage, Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court, Admiral Dewey, Gen. Nelson A. Miles, ex-Senator J. D. Cameron, MT. J. A Kasson of the State Department, Judge Bancroft Davis, Senator Hawley and Myron M Parker of this city
 The family of MT. Sherman have sent personal invitations for the service in this city to such members of the diplomatic corps as have left cards at the house. Ow- ing to the fact that MT. Sherman was not al the time of his death connected with the State Department it is impossible for the department to issue general form of in- vtation to the Diplomatic Corps to attend the funeral services. It is the wish of the family, however, that all members of the corps in Washington should feel themselves included in the general invitation.
 The funeral train will leave Washington for Mansfield, O., at 3:S0 p. m. tomorrow afternoon.

HUNTSVILLE
Narrow Limits Responsible for Small
 Population Other News

Huntsville, October 23-(Special.) )-There is considerable disappointment in this city over the report of the census, which credits the city of Huntsville with a popula tion of little over 5000, but this is nothing more than expected. Since the census of 1890, the corporate limits have been drawn into three-quarters of a mile from the court house in every direction. The growth of Huntsville during the past ten years has been outside of the corporation line, and the growth is not shown by the census.
 The farmers of this section are refusing to sell their cotton at the present low prices, and not a bale has been brought to this city since last Saturday, when the receipts were only about eighty bales.

ROBINSON'S CIRCUS
The Nashville American Praises the
 Big Show

The Nashville American has the following words of praise for the John Robnson's s Big Circus, which exhibits here tomorrow, Thursday, October 20:
 Another ideal circus today Not only was the small boy in his element, but the old as well as the young turned out and participated in the fun. The circus gave two performances, in the afternoon and night, and the big tent was crowded on both occasions.
 John Robinson's Circus is one of the best aggegations that has yet showed in Nashville. The street parade yesterday morning was witnessed by thousands and pronounced by all good. Early in the aft ernoon, the crowd began western course, and by the time the show opened every body and the dog was there
 "Along Plunket avenue leading to the show grounds the vendors of fried fish, strawberry lemonade and bananas held forth. They all were given some patron age. Near the big show the spelers of the side shows in sonorous and seductive tones told of the tattooed man, the snake charmer, fat lady, and other drawing fea- lures on the inside.
 After entering the main tent the menagerie was first. It was compe te as to the varied and wonderful species of ami nal life All of the beasts you read about were on exhibition.
 However, IL was the show proper that was deserving of especial mention. The performance was begun with the spectacu- lar, Solomon and the Queen of Sheba." In the ballet fifty women took part, and presented a most acceptable feature After the grand pageant the regular performance began in each of the three rings. The clowns were on hand and kept the crowd in spirit of jolly good humor
 Tn the rings were the usual bareback riding, trained pigs, ponies, and a herd of Hagenbeck's trained elephants. There was leaping, thrilling feats of mid-air artists; wire walking, Japanese specialists, and in fact, every feature which is supposed to constitute frst-class circus. The Roman Hippodrome followed, with the exd dting chariot and horse racing.
 of course there was a concert after the show, in which a number of vaudeville art ists were introduced, and entertained the crowd. The circus in all of its parts waS excellent, and, as whole, justly merited the large patronage given by Nashville citizens' %*%

 "Gentlemen:-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were recommended to me for my two- months old baby, which was sick and puny and the doctors said was suffering from in- digestion. I took the child to the hospital but there found no relief. A friend men,

PRESERVE STONY POINT.

The bill now IN Governor RooseveltS hands
providing for the proper protection and care of
Stony Point Peninsula deserves the promptest
executive approval The purchase by the State

Anthony's" heroic exploit, met with unqualified
public approval. 1t turned over by the
for the Preservation of Scenic and Historic
Andrew II. Green is chairman, have made every
effort to carry into effect the purposes of the
Legislature in authorizing the purchase.
But the trustees of the society were not sup
piled with any funds to put the peninsula in
condition for suitable use by the public; neither
were they vested with police authority to pre-
vent or punish depredations on the property or
destruction of its valuable scenic features. The
bill referred to supplies both of these deficien-
cies. BY its provisions the trustees of the
scenic society are given the same constabular
powers as those granted by statute to the Com
missOners of the Niagara Reservation. and
which have been found TO oe we'll adapted to
the purpose The sum Of S3, 800 is also turned
over TO the trustees by the bill-a sum barely
sufficient to open up the roads. clear up the
grounds and repair the pier, that the point
may be thrown open to the public as originally
designed. This is not new appropriation, but
is the unexpended balance of the amount orig
naly appropriated for the purchase Of the
property. For every consideration of economy,
of the suitable care of State property or of the
general public enjoyment and advantage, we
believe this measure should commend itself to
the prompt approval of the Governor.
