A Vast. Of Sentiment.

A West Philadelphian sends story
of an all-night watchman in that
neighborhood--a philosophical Celt,
who in many respe: IS might have
been the original of the Mr.. Dooley Of
Finley Peter Dunne's witty papers.
The watchman, while not a Puritan, is
devout In his church duties, and
breaches. If he does not always prac-
tice. the theory that to die in state
Of grace is the only sure way OF OBJ
tanning salvation in the hereafter.
There recently died a distant relative
who had been a ne'er-do-well. and
whose neglect of religion had been
the shame Of all related to him. The
watchman and his wife had made ar
rangements to attend the funeral SER
vices in the church and accompanying
the body TO the grave. When the
wife came down stairs she was in
conventional mourning from head to
foot.
Go back wild yes." said her hus-
band, AN get into somethin' more
seemly! It's naytner me nor me fam
lily that'll go into mourn-rn' fur the
loikes NV man that be now loightin'
his poipe wild tn inds NV his

A FUNERAL IN TURKEY.
Weird Ceremonies InduIged in by
Followers Of the Prophet.


H. Rider Haggard, in a new book
of travel thus describes funeral in
Turkey: THE corpse, accompanied
by motley crowd of mourners, rela-
tives, sightseefs and children, was
laid uncoffined upon rough bier that
looked like a large mortar board and
hidden from sight beneath a shroud
ornamented with red and green
scarves Upon arrival at the grave
yard, an unkempt place with stones,
innocent Of the mason's hammer
marking the head and foot of each
grave and serving as stands for
pumpkins to dry on in the sun, the
dead man was carried to primitive
bench or table made OF two slabs set
upright in the ground about seven
feet apart and third laid on them
crossways. Here. while a woman sit
ting on little mound at a distance
set up a most wild and melancholy
wall for the departed, priest, step
ping forward, began to offer up pray
ers, to which the audience made an
occasional response. The brief SER
| vice concluded, once more the body
| was lifted and borne round the ceme-
! terry to its grave, that seemed to be
about three feet six inches in depth.
Here 1t was robbed of its gay-colored
scarves, of which little child took
charge, and after a good deal Of ami
mated discussion lowered into the
hole in a sitting posture with the help
of two linen bands that one OF the
company unwound from about his
| middle.

NOV SAID TO BE EHAGGERATED
Reports of the Earthquakes i'm san
 FFanciscO.

Los Alamos, Cal, Aug. 1.-The re- ports sent out from this place and other sections of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obisco counties, telling of the en- ormous damage done here by the series of earthquakes, which have visited this county and this vicinity in particular, at frequent intervals since July 27. have been grossly exaggerated.
 It is an undeniable fact that there has been an unprecedented number of earthquakes, some of them more or less severe, but as to the reports of great Assures in the earth and similar stories of the havoc wrought, it is only charitable to say that they are untrue. Within the limits of Los Alamos the property damage will not exceed four thousand dollars.
 Several slight shocks were experienc- ed this morning but no damage done further than the dismaying of the in- habitants of this town.
 Santa Barbara, Cal, Aug. 1.-During the forenoon to-day four severe shocks of earthquake were felt in Los Alamos valley and several buildings not al- ready destroyed were cracked badly One immense structure belonging to Juan Careaga, a short distance from Los Alamos, was turned partly around on its foundations. Everybody who could left Los Alamos to-day, many departing on special train sent from San Luis Obispo. Late advices state that the earth continues to tremble at intervals.

CROOKEDNESS AT RACES.
Grand Circuit Judges Unearth Job
 Innocent specuintors Saved.

Grand Circuit Judges Unearth Joo-
 Innocent specuiators Saved.
 Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 1.-The judges at the grand circuit races to-day un- earthed job in the $5,Oo0 stake for 2:2o pacers, and by prompt action saved in- nocent specuators, who had backed the field, a large sum of money. Severe punishment was meted out to the gull ty party, Driver Tom Stuard and the horse Elderone being suspended for one year. The 2:20 pace was the feature Of A good card. There were six starters, but Greenline and Elderone were con- ceded to have the race between them. Greenline won the first heat with ease in 2:O91a, slow time over the track, which was lightning fast. The second heat was won by Elderone, who paced a beautiful mile in 2:05A, cutting his record by four seconds. The original betting had been Greenline $100 and the field $30. Elderone's showing in the second heat produced the desired effect on the odds, which now switched to $50 on Greenline and $50 on the field. The third heat went to Greenline in 2:10A, Stuard making no effort with Elderone. When the horses came out for the fourth heat the judges ordered Stuard out of the sulky and put Valentine, 8 local trainer and driver, up behind FL derone. Elderone took the fourth heat in, 2:06A, outracing Greenline in the stretch. In the fifth heat Elderone went to a break in the first turn and could not be set to pacing again. He finished behind the flag with broken hopple, which, investigation showed had been cut nearly through before the heat was started The judges declared all bets off, placed Elderone fourth instead of distanced in the last heat, suspended Stuard and the horse Elderone for one year and fined Hudson $100 for not try ing to win the last heat with Tortimen. Valentine was awarded $200 for driving Elderone, the amount to be taken from the horses share of the purse. Elder one is the pacer who finished second to Direct Hal in the Chamber of Com merce stakes at Detroit and again at Cleveland. He had great speed to-day and should have beaten Greenline.
 The 2:10 trot went to Waubun after seven hard heats. The gray gelding was favorite at $1Oo to $Oo Bad breaks put him out of the first two heats, but he stayed long enough in the race to land first money.
 The two short races were won by KIondike and Chase in straight heats The feature of the closing day of the meeting will be the attempt of Dan

AFTER ROCK ISLAND ROAD
REORGANIZATION TO BE THOR
 OUGHLY INVESTIGATED.
Governor Cummins, of Iowa, An- nounces His Intention of Finding
 VI,
 Out Whether tt is in Accordance With the Laws of tho State-Believes There Has Been an Imitation of Capital.

Des Moines La, Aug. 1,--Governor Cumimns announced to-day that he is Investigating the recent reorganiza- tion of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway company with a view of ascertaining whether the organiza- ton is in all respects in harmony with the laws of the state of Iowa. He has not yet conferred with the attorney general, but will do so as soon as the attorney general returns to the city. Governor Cummins stated that the first question he is inquiring into is as to whether the imitation of capital stock which is contemplated by the re-organ- ization is consistent with the Iowa law. In the second place he desires to know just how far 1t is lawful for New Jersey corporation to own and control the property of railway owned and operated in Iowa.
 Tt is my opinion," said Governor &AAiiiiiA'ie, H nave ttdu tuS utS- patches alright that there has been an imitation of capital stock here which is not contemplated by laws of this state It is true that there is no limit placed upon the capitalization of such a com- pany but there Is a limit placed upon the indebtedness of such corporations and there must be something shown to the credit of the stockholders of such a company which will represent the diff ference in increased capitalization
 Tt is my understanding that under the Rock Island plans of readjustment each stockholder of 100 shares of com- mon stock is to receive a $10,000 bond secured by a collateral trust mortgage upon the present Rock Island stock. In addition to this they receive in the Rock Island company of New Jersey seventy shares in a preferred stock and 100 shares in common stock the pre- ferred stock being preferred to the ex- tent of four per cent. from the earnings of each year for a period of seven years when it becomes preferred for five per cent. for an additional period of seven years, after which it Is pre- ferred, believe to the extent of six per cent. per annum.
 Now, the capitalization of the old Rock Island company was but $75,000,- GOO, while the new company located in Iowa declares a capital of $125, ,00O, ,000.
 There must be something to my mind, to show more than is indicated in the above plan, that the increased capitalizat ton is not an excessive in- flation, or that the stock which has been issued is not watered. I am not willing to sit by and allow a proposi- ton of such enormous size to amalga- mate without inquiring into the method which it employs and their conformity to the state laws. I am convinced that such a centralizatio of capital and power is dangerous, to say the least, and cannot be encouraged without threatening business interests. Such a standardization of capital means that there may follow an explosion, which when it comes, is likely not only to af- feet one, but many interests"

DESERTION FROM MAYFLOWER
The President to Investigate tho
 Cause.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, August 1.-The feeling of unrest among the crew of the Mayfiower, which has led to several assertions, has been brought to the at- tention of the president. Several days ago he received an inkling of the trou- bles, but supposed that the cases of dis satisfaction were sporadic and isolated. He had no idea until to-day that the members of the crew generally were so incensed at what they regarded as ill., treatment that quite half of the Al men were ready to seize the first opportun- ity to leave the ship without warning. It is understood that the president will make a personal investigation of the matter, with a view, if possible, of rem edying the trouble.

MAY YOHE,S ANTICS.
Registers as Lady Francis Hope-A
 Reconciliation wfth Strong.

London, Aug. May Yohe drove to the Savoy hotel early to-day and regis tered as Lady Francis Hope.
 She spent the day at the Hotel De- jectedly reading and rereading batch of letters which she had just received from Putnam Bradlee Strong, and In which, while urging forgiveness and beseeching news of Miss Yohe's future movements, he carefully disguised his own whereabouts. On the inside flap of one envelope Strong wrote: Send word by him (bearer) if you forgive me-
 On reading this Miss Yohe exclaimed: sThere have been all sorts of friends here to-day offering me all sorts of in- ducements to leave here, but I care only for Bradlee. Where is he? Why don't they bring him to me? Why does he write me if he does not love me? would forgive him in a minute if he would only say that he is sorry"
 Miss Yohe grew quite hysterical. Strong's letters declared that he was within a days ride of Paris, which was obscure enough to leave Miss Yohe in doubt as to whether he was in England or at Genoa.
 Miss Yohe had all her trunks packed in readiness to go to Paris, but an in- timation received that Strong was there finally decided her to remain in London. Referring to this decision, she said: T don't see how can spend another night in this miserable place, but suppose I must
 Prior to leaving London Strong told his friends he intended to go to the United States and never see Miss Yohe again. It is now evident that he has changed his plans and that a reconcili- atory meeting between him and Miss Yohe is only matter of a few days. Such a meeting would probably have occurred already if Strong were not doubtful as to Miss Yohe's attitude in the matter of criminal proceedings against him.

ELECTION WILL BE AUGUST 14.
Successor to Alderman BeecIler VIII be
 Chosen on That Dates

Shubeh On AnhL Ddt6s
 A special meeting of the board of al- dermen was held last night for the pur- pose of selecting a date for the election of successor to the late John Beecher as alderman from the Seventh ward. Mayor Studley attended the meeting and explained at it's opening that as the charter says that the special election must be held within thirty days after the death of member of the board, and that ten days must elapse between the nominations and the election, he thought it would be advisable to hold the election on August 14. As Alder man Beecher died on July 15 this makes the election come just within the limit. The communication of the mayor on this matter was then read and it was accepted, so the election in the Seventh ward will take place on that date.
 The report of the special committee on the South school district petition was then heard telling of the meetings of the committee and recommending August 14 as the date on which the peo- pie in the Fifteenth ward should vote on the matter of annexing the district to the regular New Haven school dis trict. The report of the committee was tabled for a second hearing and it will come up again on Monday night, when the regular meeting of the board will be held.
 William Trueman, the chairman of the committee on retrenchment and re- form, which held hearing on voting machines Thursday night, announced after the meeting last night that 8 pub lie demonstration of the different types of the machines would be held Thurs day evening, August 21, and at that time several different machines will be open for inspection.
