The PEOPLE KNEW HIM.
(Ransnns Plaster Is Pains MastaEO

George Washington made and sold flour,
and every barrel of -four in the market
branded ''G. Washington, Mount Vernon"
sold without delay. No question was ever
raised as to quality or weight.
Benson's Porous Plaster sells on its repu-
tation everywhere. All the buyer wants to
be certain of is that the plaster offered him
really Is Benson's, and not a worthless imi-
tation of it or substitute for it,
A plaster is the best form of external rem
edy, and Benson's is the best plaster; 5000
physicians and druggists, and multitude
of people no man can number, have settled
that. You can trust it," they say.
Coughs, colds, lame back, lumbago, mus
cular stiffness and rheumatism, troubles of
the liver and kidneys, influenza or grip,
Pneumonia, and all other diseases open TO
external treatment, are 40 once relieved and
cured by Benson's Plaster.
Do not assume that Belladonna. Capsi-
cum or Strengthening plasters are "just as
good as" Benson's They are vastly in
ferior.-No other plaster is as good as
Benson's.

Possibly 80 people We're present. Mrs.
Harrison did not appear, but remained in
her room until it was time TO leave for
the church.
There were several thousand people
around the Harrison residence as the fu-
neral procession moved away, but the
crowd there was Insignificant to that
gathered around the church.
1t was 2:30 o'clock when the process
sion arrived at the church, and for an
hour and 20 minutes before that time
the church had been packed to its ut
most capacity. In fact, its capacity was
stretched somewhat, and in places in
side the building the people were wedged
together much too tight for comfort.
DR.. Haines opened the church service
by repeating:
II am the resurrection and the life.
He that believeth on me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live, and he that liveth
and believeth on me shall never die"
DR.. Niccolls then read from / Corin-
thians, XIV, 35-3S. inclusive, after which
Mr.. Haines offered prayer. After the
prayer the choir rendered the hymn
Rock Of Ages" in a beautiful and i'm
pressive manner. This was General Har-
rison's favorite hymn, and it is said il
Is the only one he ever attempted TO
sing. Following the hymn DIR. Niccolls
read portions OF Scripture from the four
teenth chapter of St. John and the
twenty-frst chapter of Revelations, after
which DR.. Haines delivered the funeral
address. After the address Dr. Niccolls
offered prayer. The services were closed
with barytone solo, "Hark, Hark. My
Soul" rendered by Edward Nell, in
which the entire choir joined in the
chorus.
The party left the church in the same
order in which it entered. For the most
part those who attended the church serv-
ices left immediately for Crown Hill Gem
etery.
The last resting place OF ex-President
Harrison is a tomb five feet deep, incased
in granite four inches thick and covered
with a granite top Of the same thickness.
On the reverse side OF the cover Is the
simple inscription, Benjamin Harrison,
1S33-190l.n The interior OF the tomb
was decorated with ferns 50 profusely
that no sign Of earth or stone was yisi'
bic. Dozens of exquisitely beautiful
/ floral tributes were placed on the tomb
and on the ground about IT, As the peO
| pie slowly left the cemetery the distant
boom of cannon firing the national salute
came TO their ears, and by :he time th'
| last gun was fired the night was down
| and the grave alone.

escort the czar back to the winter pal

more probable, however, that the Cos

Wholesale arrests. including many wo'

1t is apparently confirmed that three
students were killed Sunday. The Cos
sacks rode into the crowds on the side
walk, and many faces were cut open by
their knottcd whips. Students and work
ingmen threw rubber shoes, canes and
snowballs at the Cossacks 1t is re-
ported that one Cossack was killed.
An official Of the political police said
1000 prisoners were taken, among them
being $50 women students. The pres
ence Of workingmen among the rioters
rendered this demonstration more dan
gerous than any known in a generation.
After reading the manifesto the stu
dents threw their crumpled copies into
the crowd and raised a flag inscribed,
For Liberty" The students also shout
ed, Help us get our rights" and the
mob responded with cheers.

A Five Million Gift.

PITTSBURG, March 1.-two COM
munications from Andrew Carnegie
which are officially made public today
tell of the steel kings retirement from
active business life and of his donation
of S5.0OO,000 for the endowment Of a
fund for superannuated and disabled en-
ployees of the Carnegie company. This
benefaction is by far the largest of the
many created by Mr.. Carnegie and is
probably without a parallel anywhere in
the world. This fund will in no wise in
terfere with the continuance OF the saw
ings fund established by the company Is
years ago for the benefit of its employees.
In this latter fund nearly S2,OO00OO of
the employees savings are on deposit,
on which the company, by contract, pays
6 per cent and loans money 10 the work

Now is the time to have grape
vines trimmed. Many people delay
this work, putting it off until the
weather is warmer, which is seri-
Gus mistake. The warm weather
starts the sap to flowing and the
vines bleed. Bleeding may not kill
vine, but it weakens it. No one
can hope to have a good crop of
grapes on a vine that was bled
heavily in the Spring. Pruning
should always be done in time to
leave the wounds to dry and heal
over. February is generally spoken
of as the month in which to do this
work, but the earlier in February
the better. Sap usually begins to
flow in March.
