FUNERAL OF lola.
IL Is Conducted in n Simple But Inn
pressfve Manner-Capt. Dreyfus
Marches in Procession

Paris, Oct. 6.-The remains of
Emile Zola were laid to rest Sunday
with simple but impressive ceremo-
MES. II was such a funeral as lola
himself would have wished, without
pomp, but the serried ranks of thou
sands Of workingmen, many accom-
panied by their wives, sorrowfully
marching behind his coffin. Munich
pal guards, mounted and on foot,
lined the route, but except for COM
pany of infantry which rendered mil
itary honors to the body as it was
carried from the house to the hearse,
they were there as guardians of or
der, and not as participants in the
ceremCny.
Former Capt. Dreyfus marched in
the funeral cortege, according to the
authority of the project of police,
but he passed completely unncticed
by the crowd. A little distance be-
hind him came Nine. Dreyfus, accom-
panied by her father. Dreyfus sent
a handsome wreath, which was
placed beside the coffin.
Nine. lola wished to follow her hus-
bands body to the grave, but her doc
tors absolutely forbade her to do so.
She, therefore, babe farewell to the
remains in the mortuary chamber.
Her grief was most poignant when
the coffin was removed to the en-
trance hall of the house, where 1T
rested few minutes.
The Tier was. then borne through
the door. AS it emerged to the street
the mounted officer of infantry sa-
luted it with his sword and the two
lines Of soldiers presented arms. The
crowd OF mourners in front of the
house uncovered, and amid a deep
silence, broken only by the melan-
choly rolling of drums, the coffin was
laid in the hearse and the PROCESSION
started for the cemetery. Among the
masses of spectators which lined the
route there were probably many who
were not admirers of lola, but the
deep respect for the dead which is
inherent in Frenchmen prevented a
discordant note, and everybody I'M
covered as the hearse passed.
The cortege entered the deserted
cemetery and followed the avenue
through the tombs to the cross
roads, where a small platform had
been erected for the funeral orators.
This platform faced the catafalque
uDon which the coffin was deposited
The orators were M. Chaumie, M
Herman and Anatole France. At the
conclusion of the orations the rela-
tives of the deceased novelist grouped
themselves beside the coffin and a
monster procession, composed mainly
of members of labor organizations,
| was allowed to enter the cemetery
| and filed past the body.

The register of the United States
army for the current year shows the
great change that has taken place in
the officers incident to the Spanish
American war and the service in the
Philippines. The army has been in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000, which
caused corresponding increase of
officers. The greatest change is noted
in the promotion of old officers. Those
who were lieutenants six years ago
have reached much higher ranks. one
of them being brigadier general;
captains have become colonies and
majors brigadier generals.

A wOMAN'S BUSINESS TACT.
Remarkable Success of Mrs. Laugh.
lin i'm Building Up n Fortune.
(New Orleans Picayune.)


a clever Seattle woman, who has
made a fortune through her own
shrewdness and industry, is Mrs.
Laughlin. Five years ago she was a
poor woman. She had sustained heavy
losses through others. These reverses
set her thinking. Why could she not
attend to her own affairs and take up
a regular line of business? The idea
crystalized into a determination to en-
bark in the real estate business, which
she knew from previous transactions
through agents. Hiring an office, she
hung out sign one day announcing
Mrs. J. G. Laughlin, Real Estate" 4"
The fact of a woman in business there
was an advertisement Of the best kind.
She was the most talked about woman
in the city of Seattle.
In less than two years her name be-
came as well known on the Pacific coast
as the great railroad king, Coils P.
Huntington. Meantime she was ac-
cumulating commissions and wealth
that outstripped any competitor. She
then added advertising to her list and
aided materially in letting the world
know about the new Elorado in the
Klondike country. Of this Northwestern
gold district she, being a draughtsman,
made many maps of the country from
the governments surveys and sold them
to the steamship lines and the railroad
magnates.
Five years of active and energetic
work has given her not only a reputa-
ton of national scope as a business wo-
man, but brought her in returns that
have run up her wealth little short of
seven figures. She represents several of
the largest gold mines in the Klondike
country, as well as in Washington, Or
egon, Idaho and California. 1t was only
recently that she picked up good COM
mission on the sale of one mine in Or
egon. About the same time she sold
%, 900 telegraph poles for a railroad into
the Klondike. She seems to be a wo-
man Midas.

PENNSYLVANIA RPUBLICANs.
The Quay Faction Sweep Every
Thing in the state Convention.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 1l.-Judge
Samuel W. Pennypacler, of Philadel-
phina, was nominated for governor over
Attorney General John P. Elkin by to-
days republican state convention by a
vote Of 206 to 152. Senator Quay was
unanimously chosen chairman Of the re-
publican state committee by a suspen-
sion or the rules, requiring the state
chairman to be chosen by the nominees
and the presiding officers of the con-
vention and he will conduct the cam
paigu for the state ticket.
Pennypacker's nomina lion is a per-
sonal victory for Senator Quay. Elkin
was formerly one of Quay's chief lieu
tenants and when he became a candi-
date it was thought he was the sena-
atOr's choice. After delegates friendly
to Elkin We're elected in several coun-
ties Quay advised against the attorney
party harmony. Elkin declined to with
draw. Quay then made a public decla-
ration against his candidacy and when
Pennypacker was suggested for the
nomination the senator tacitly endorsed
him. Elkin was backed by Governor
Stone and other members Of the state
administration.
The platform heartily endorses Presi-
dent Roosevelts administration. and
says:
I'VE pledge ourselves TO his renomi-
nation to the great office which he has
filled with such ability and patriotism" !"
The Philippine plank commends the
policy which mas started the Filipino
people upon the road of self-govern-
rnent, and while deploring cases of
cruelty 20 the natives. demands due
consideration for the provocations our
soldiers have undergone. The whole
sale attacks of the democratic party
upon our soldiers and sailors are re-
sented The platform endorses the "re-
commentator of President Roosevelt
that the United States should enter in
to reciprocal Il ade relations with the
republic of Cuba that shall be mutually
advantageous to it and to the United
States"
1t reaffirms loyalty to the protective
tariff, believing it to be wisdom not to
imperil business by any suggestion of
interference with revenue legislation.
The trust plank says: I'VE heartily
approve the action of the president of
the United States through his attorney
general in instItuting proceedings to
check the growth of unlawful COM
binations intended to raise the prices of
commodities at the expense of the con-
sumner, and we recommend that similar
action be taken in all cases where the
people are oppressed by trusts or COM
binations through the illegal manipu-
lation of fuel, or food supplies
The platform favors the isthmian
canal, wise immigration laws, and an
honest ballot and a fair count in Penn
Sylvania.

feet the merits OF the question in the
least and they contend that even admit
ting the course of the Cuban govern
ment was censurable ii cannot and
should not prevent the government OF
the United States doing what II has
promised to do, and what Ii is right to
do. They do not, however, generally
admit that the course was improper.
The beet sugar senators are undenia-
-bly more hopeful than they have been,
heretofore. Some of them profess TO
believe that the revelation will have the
effect of at least causing a halt in the
proceedings in the interest of reciproci-
ty. They think the report made by Mr..
Thurber will be accepted by the coun-
try as going to show that entirely too
much interest has been manifested in
the subject in Cuba. Some of them go
so far as to claim that there will be no
reciprocity legislation, at least during
the present session
