TIE PINGREE FUNERAL.
Beautiful and Touching Ceremonies
Mark Last HOnOrs Shown to
Mlchigan's Dead Governor.

Detroit, Mich, July S.-When the
beautiful strains of Jesus, Lover of
My SOUP swelled through the Pin
gree homestead Saturday afternoon,
the beginning of the funeral services
over Hazen S. Pingree, former gov
ernor of Michigan, the house was
crowded to its utmost capacity with
those who had known and loved the
dead man. In life Mr.. Pingree's
house was never closed to the public,
and it was SO in death. All for
whom room could be found were
permitted entrance. The services
were held in the east drawing-room.
"A Scriptural reading broke the hush
which followed the hymn, and then
Rev. Reed Stuart, a Unitarian min
lister, and Rev. Nehemiah Boynton,
Congregationalist, spoke on the life
and works of the dead statesman.
After prayer, the singing of Lead
Kindly Light" ended the services.
Slowly. and reverently the casket
was borne from the house to a flag
draped caisson dawn, by four horses.
Escorted by Gov. Bliss and staff, the
First regiment Michigan national
guard and the First battalion Michi-
gan naval reserves, the cortege
passed slowly down the broad ave-
nue., past thousands of members of
various civic organizations who were
drawn up at salute on one side
OF the avenue. AS the caisson rolled
by each organization fell in behind
1T, marching to the solemn tones of
the dirge played by the bands. The
interment was at Elmwood cemetery
and the services there were in charge

STANDS JOURNEY WELL.
Mrs. Mckinley Reaches Canton Little
the Worse for Her Long Ride
from Washington

Canton, o., July S.-The train bear.
ing the presidential party arrived here
at 1915 Saturday morning. Mrs. Nc
Kinley stood the journey very well.
Owing to Mrs. McKinley's illness
there was no formal demonstration at
the station upon the arrival of the
train, it being feared that the noise
and confusion incident upon such re.
ception would have an unfavorable eff
feet upon the patient.
There was, however, a very large
crowd present that completely filled
the station platform. When the pres.
ident and Mrs. Mckinley stepped from
the train hearty cheer of welcome
went up. In accordance with the wish.
es of the president to make his home
coming as quiet as possible, none Of
the reception committee that have
heretofore welcomed the president
were present as organiza tions, but
were there as individuals.
The presidents carriage arrived
from Washington several days age
and in it the chief executive and Mrs.
Mckinley were driven to their old
home. For several days past servants
have been busily engaged in prepar.
ing the house for the comfort of the
president and Mrs. Mckinley.
1t was said by members of the pres.
ident's party that Mrs. Mckinley had
stood the trip exceedingly we'll and
that her condition continued favor.

THE RUSSIAN COURT IN 1870.
Intrigue, Iniquity and Corruption
Were the Predominant
Features of 1t.

Baron Malmesbury, the English
ambassador, describes GATHERINGS
private life as growing worse and
worse every day, and the interior of
the court as lone continued scene
of intrigue, debauchery, iniquity and
corruption" says Gentleman's Maya
zine. When he had been few
months in Russia he came to the con-
clusion that report had magnified
the eminent qualities and diminished
the foibles of one of the greatest
ladies of Europe"
1t was exceedingly difficult to ac-
complish any political business, part
ly because all the Russian ministers
and officials of Importance were very
hostile to England, and partly on ac-
count of their inherent dislike to oc-
cupy themselves with anything but
their own pleasures. The ambassa-
dor writes:
although in my public capacity L
have tolerable degree of patience,
to the share of mortal minister to
converse with people who, in the
midst of business and distress, are
supine and insensible, and who will
neither hear a reasonable question
nor give a reasonable answer. You
will not credit me when L tell you
that Count Panin (the prime minis
teri does not devote more than half
an hour in the "a to business; and
that Mr.. Cakes, having been robbed
of considerable sum of money,
found the lieutenant de police, the
first magistrate of the empire and
whose power is immense, at seven
o'clock in the morning, playing at la
grande patience, with dirty pack
of cards, by himself"
Count Panin employed good many
hours in unlawful business. He hated
the English ambassador for having
won the goodwill of the empress,
thwart and injure him. One of his
devices was to compose letters which
he produced as having been trans
lated from the dispatches of foreign
representatives at the Russian court,
and intercepted at the post office as
dangerous matter. Harris suffered
greatly from this trick, but it was
impossible to bring the matter home
to the prime minister, and expose his
deceit, as when request was made
to produce the original dispatches
the answer invariably given was that
the documents, after being copied,
had been forwarded to their destina
ton. Another disagreeable feature
in the political situation was the uni
versal system of bribery.

Buried Alive.

John Benson and Hjelmer Herbert
met with horrible death in the town
of La Grand, Douglas county. They
were engaged in digging deep ditch
for the purpose of draining lake,
when the loose soil closed around them
and buried them completely. John e.
Nelson, who was passing, made frantic
efforts to dig them out with his hands,
at the same time calling to Mr.. Ben
sons son, who had been working with
them. Other assistance was sum-
moned, but before the earth could be
removed both men were dead. Both
were found in an almost upright posi-
ton, The earth had closed in to a
depth of about two feet above their
heads

The Scourge of the Eng

The Damage Done by the Little Fea-
thered Pest is Almost Inestin,ab1e

coast of southern California, and the
island of Guadalupe, off the Lower
California coast, are utilized as
ranges for goats. All these is
lands are dry and more or less COW
cred with brush, but aborescent
vegetation is comparatively scarce.
The goats practically run wild, and
already exist in considerable num-
bers. On Santa Catalina, one of the
Santa Barbara group, wild goat hunt
ing is one of the diversions afforded
tourists, and is considered one of the
principal attractions of this resort.
In this country no animal or bird
introduced from foreign lands has
done more damage than the common
English sparrow. This little pest is
common bird of north central Eu-
rasia. 1t is said to range as far
north as latitude 81 degrees in Eu-
rope and to latitude 81 degrees in
Asia. The damage which it does in
destroying fruit and grain, i'll disfig-
uring buildings in cities and towns
and in driving away other birds
makes it one of the worst of the
feathered pests. The rapidity with
which it increases in new locality
is scarcely more remarkable than the
persistency and care which have been
displayed in introducing it into for
eign lands, in spite of the warnings
of persons familiar with it's habits. 1t
has gained foothold on all of the
continents, and has been transported
to some of the most distant islands
in the Indian and Pacific oceans. In
North America it has not increased
very rapidly north of the transition
zone nor in the lower Austral, but
wherever it has become at all album
dant efforts to exterminate it have
been practically futile.
The English sparrow was first in
PRODUCED into the United States by
gentleman of Brooklyn, n. Y, who
brought over eight pairs from Eu-
rope in the fall of 1850 and liberated
them in the following spring. These

when Miss Sousa, the daughter of the
so-called march king, was with them
at college year ago. She played
the piano exactly as her father leads
his band, all his poses and manner
isms being as faithfully reproduced
as if she were taking him off, in
stead of unconsciously eXemplifying
the laws of heredity. 1t was the
great delight of the other girls, when
they had visitors, to get Miss Sousa,
unintroduced, to play the piano, and
then have the visitors eXclaim, as
they invariably did: ''Why, she re-
minds me of Sousa."
The first brick Presbyterian church
west of the Missouri river was erect
ed in Nebraska City, Neb., in 1856. 1t
has been used as a house of worship
ever since, but is now in course of
demolition to make room for a new
and modern structure. William Bu-
chanan, who was one of the two
original elders of the church, is still
an active member. In July, 1856, the
steamer Genoa ran into snag two
miles above Nebraska City and sank.
The boat caused a sand bar to form
in the river and the course of the
stream was changed. The bell from
the wrecked steamer was placed in
the belfry of the new church and
continued to call the pious to wor-
ship and sinners to repentance till
the church was abandoned.

birds did not thrive, and in 1852 q
second importation was made. In
1854 and 1858 the sparrow was intro
duced at Portland, Me-, and in the
latter year at Peacedale, R. l., and a
few birds escaped at Boston, Mass.
During the next decade it was inn
ported direct from Europe to eight
other cities, and in one case 1000
birds were sent to Philadelphia in a
single lot; birds were also distrib-
uted from the colonies already start
ed in this country. By 1870 it had
become established as far south as
Columbia, S. c.; Louisville, KY, and
Galveston, Tex, and as far west as
st. Louis, Mo-, and Davenport, Ia,
and as far north as Montreal, Cam,
thus gaining a foothold in 20 states,
the District of Columbia and two
provinces in Canada.
Between 1870 and 1880 it was esti-
mated that it's range had been ex-
tended by nearly 10000 square miles,
and isolated colonies were esta blished
at San Francisco (1s71-72) and Salt
Lake City, Utah qS73). During the
next five years it spread over more
than 100000 square miles, and in 1886
had become established in 35 states
and five territories, occupying prac-
tically all of the region east of the
Mississippi river Except portions of
Florida, Alabama and MississippD, as
well as parts of eight states in the
west. It's range was estimated to
cover 1,033, 900 square miles, including
$4,000 square miles in Canada.
AT recent date only three states
(Montana, Nevada and Wyoming) and
three territories ALASKA, Arizona and
New Mexico) were apparently free
from the sparrow. It's range extends
westward to the great plains and in
Colorado to the Rocky mountains,
and also occupies considerable areas
in Utah and central California.
The true character of the bird is
now so well known that it is unneccs-
sary to dwell on it's injuries to fruit
and grain, the nuisance it has become
in large cities and the extent to which
it has replaced native birds. The ILL
directed care and energy expended on
introducing and fostering it 80 years
ago are largely responsible for the
marvellous rapidity of it's distribu-
ton. Now, when too late, efforts at
determination have been begun, and
four states illinois, Michigan, Ohio
and Utah) have offered bounties for
it's destruction, the expenditures in
Illinois (1S91-1S95) and Michigan
(1SS7-1S95) amounting to about $117,-
500.
1t pays to think before attempting
to introduce new species of animal
life into country to which it is for

Suicide of a Leper.

Ole Knuseth, who for fourteen years
has been a victim of leprosy, put an
end to his misery by hanging himself.
Several years ago the man was sent by
the county to an isolated farm several
miles from Duluth, on one corner OF
which hut was built for him. The
past few months the disease had been
affecting the unfortunate mans sight,
and although he might have existed a
number of years, few weeks longer
and he would have been totally blind.
His body was found hanging from a
rafter of his home, while a note was
left to the effect that he was ''glad it
would soon be over"

THE HIDING WHIP-POOR-wILL.
Queer Habits of the MOurnful Noe
turnal Warbler and His
Relatives,

One of our commonest birds is the
whip-poor-will, yet, though constant
ly heard, ne is rarely seen. This is
because he goes abroad only in the
hours of darkness. He does not seek
security there by hiding, but squats
boldly upon log. His plumage is
notified gray and brown, like old
bark, yet this would not suffice to
conceal him if he sat crosswise, as
birds generally do, so he sits
lengthwise, and at once falls into the
appearance of stub of a broken
branch, says Nature. He DISCUSSES
himself as a 'bump on log" But
some of his relatives in other parts
of the world do even better. Down in
the Antilles there is a goat sucker,
as all of this family are called,
though none really rob the goats of
their milk-which is abroad during
the day, fitting from stump to stump,
for it chooses only to alight upon
dead stumps. The instant it thinks it.
self observed it straightens up, stiff
ems every muscle, and becomes to the
eye merely spike or splinter of it's
perch. A large Australian relative, the
"more-pork," does this trick so
well and quickly that you may al
most touch the bird with your cane
in pointing it out to friend, yet the
chances are that he will be unable to
see tin fact, more than one per-
son has placed his hand upon the
"more-pork,' perched upon some
fence, without suspecting that it was
anything more than a knot. Both
these birds maintain their rigid dis
guises as long as any reason for
alarm remains, and few lose their
lives from hawks.

How the soudanese Telephone.

People often wonder how the natives
in Africa contrive to transmit news
with apparently miraculous rapidity
across miles of bush and desert. The
explanation is a simple one. They use
the telephone. The Soudanese tele-
phone is nothing like the one in use in
European countries. 1t is of two kinds
"a hollowed-out elephant tusk of i'm
mense size, or tam-tam. The tusk can
be made to transmit seven distinct
notes, by means of a slice of tree bark.
which is placed on the outside of the
tusk at varying distances from the
mouthpiece. BY means of this instru-
ment sounds can be heard at dis
lance of several miles, and messages
are frequently transmitted as much as
200 miles in a single day by these print
tive telephones.-Lordon Mail

DIRDS and animals have been car
u ried from one continent to an
other since man began travelling
from continent to continent. Many
species that were originally natives
only of the old world may to-day be
found in a wild state in not only the
Americas, but in countless islands CT
the sea as well. This transplanting
of animal species has resulted in
many ways, some of them peculiar.
Two or three species of rats and
the house mouse of Europe have thus
become widely dispersed over the
globe. Fruit vessels plying between
ports of the United States and Cen
trail or South America occasionally
bring snakes, small mammals and in
sects in punches of bananas. In No
vcmber, 1895, a Central American
mouse, of the genus Oryzomys, con-
cealed in bunch of bananas shipped
from Puerto Limon, Costa Rica, was
captured alive in commission house
in Washington, d. c. A young mu-
rine opossum from tropical America
was discovered in bunch of bananas
at Ames, Ia, during the summer of
1882 and was kept alive for some
time.
During the last Is or 20 years
Behring island, one of the Com
mander group in Behring sea, has
been overrun with the common Sibe-
rian red-backed mouse. This species
was formerly unknown on the is
lands, but has been introduced since
1870, probably in frewood brought
from Kamchatka. Within ten years
it spread all over the island, from the
beaches to the mountains in the in
terror. 1t occurs both in the swamps
and On the sand dunes, and has be-
come pest in the huts of the ma
tives. In 1889 it was still confined to
Behring island, but will probably
reach Copper island in time.
Wild horses are said to have be-
come so numerous in some parts of
Australia that they consume the feed
