The funeral Of a colOred man or woman who
holds membership in half dozen of these or
ders is a spectacle worth witnessing. Occasion
ally bitter feuds arise between rival societies
for the possession of corpse. for the negro's
love of a funeral is not second even to his love
of melons. The ceremonies usually begin the
night before the actual interment is 10 take
place There are sermons, prayers and personal
experiences interspersed with wild bursts Of in
coherent melody which ar0uses religious fervO-
to fever height. Men and women faint the
course &c the exercises, many others fan into
frances and talk 0f visions of their dead friends
enthroned in glory. Residents for blocks around
swear vengeance against the and daugh-
ters, theiI children, and their chiIdren's chill
dren, and appeal to the city authorities 50 put
a stop the oTgy. But until the present time
police force has been found able TO cop

African wakes. The ceremonies cUIminate in a
formal procession. II is forming for an hour
before the residence Of the late lamented son or
daughter Negroes from the uttermost parts Of
the city gather ir the streets, to hundreds OF
small children The occasion is festive

years ago. His record shows that he is an alert
and active man, who has served with credit in
emergencies. Ireland has been in the service
two and a half years. He graduated in law,
and had experience newspaper man. All of
these had records full of exciting and
dangerous detective eXper ences. Caring for the

kind made against them.
The United States Secret Service had its origin
in the early sixties, under the auspices of the
War Depar,m 1t actually grew out of the
fact of Captain Lafayette f. Baker, of the
Union Army Offering his services to Secretary
Seward a police scout to gather information
concerning the Confederate Army. During the
war the United States began the issuance of
greenbacks. Then came the first appearance or
''greengOods" men. BY an act of Congress, IN
1861 or 1866. $4,000 appropriated for the
maintenance of Bakers service to suppress
counterfeiting. The supervision of the service
was then under the Solicitor of the Treasury.
In 1850 the service had grown to be almost in
dispensable and appropriation Cf S'u,N'o was
obtained for its support In that year its super
vision was placed in the hands of the Secretary
OF the Treasury. For the last two years Con
