FUNERAL OF THE EX-GOVERNOR
Thousands of People Do Honor to His
Memory.

Detroit, July 8.-From all over Micn-
igan citizens came to Detroit Saturday
to mingle with the people of this city
in an honest, humble and yet remark
able showing of love and admiration
for the late ex-Gov. Pingree.
The Pingree residence on Woodward
avenue contained about $50 people
who listened tn the brief services for
the dead governor. The scene was an
impressive though simple one. When
Rev. Reed Stuart had finished a touch.
ing tribute to the memory of the dead
and Rev. DR.. Boynton painted in glow
ing words the life history of the de-

by singing Jesus, Lover of My Soul"
1t was $40 o'clock when the funeral
cortege left the late home of the de-
ceased and proceeded slowly on it's
way to Elmwood cemetery. The pro-
cession was carried out as planned
and not one hitch occurred to mar it's
completeness.
Down Woodward avenue and out
Jefferson avenue for four miles tens of
thousands waited hours to doff their
hats as the body passed by. The flu
neral procession was on a magnificent
scale rarely seen, and the dignity of
the great throngs showed plainly their
deep sorrow. While the bells in school
towers and fire department houses all
over the city tolled, the slow-moving
procession with bands playing grand
funeral marches approached the GEM
etery. There Masonic and military
honors were shown and the remains of
the states late chief executive were
given to the tomb.
1t was estimated that there were at
least $4,000 people in the cemetery
during the services.

His CAPTURE

London, July S.-The Daily Express
publishes an interview with Edward
MacEvoy, a merchant at Manila who
has just arrived here and is stayiny
at the Hotel Carlton. Mr. MacEvoy
declared that Aguinaldo sold out to
Gen. Macarthur and says it is under
stood in Manila that the deal was
made with the consent of President
Mckinley. He says that Aguinaldo re-
ceived $1,O00,000 for his participation
in the farce and that he intends later
to invest this in United States prop
erty.
"Funston's capture of Aguinaldo,"
Mr. MacEvoy says in the interview,

could never defeat the Filipinos and
they had begun to realize it. They
therefore adopted the old expedient of
bribery, well knowing they would find
Aguinaldo receptive. He has been a
bride taker and country seller more
than once in his Use"
