Duty is in that hidden fame,
And soaring joy; then rise for shame
That thou so dark Shouldst be.
Rise, trim thy lamp; the feeble past
Behind thee put and spurn,
With God it is not soon or late,
So that thy light, now flaming great,
Doth ever fiercer burn
Fierce with its love, and flaming

In its humility;
Stunning no soul in sinful need,
Fearing no path where He may lead,
Glowing consumingly.

When earthly moons~grow dim;
The dawn is but begun for thee,
When thou shalt hand, so tremb-

Thy empty lamp to Him.

ONDON, May 20.-While the news
papers have published exhaustive
details Of the extraordinary nays-
tihcation Of the Humbert case. by
which a woman secured loans and ad-
vances of about So. 900 with practic-
ally no security, very little attention
has been given to the fact that large
sum was secured in London, says
Herald dispatch from London. One
loan OF $4,000 is now said TO have been
obtained from financial institutions and
individuals in this city. The woman in
the case is also said 70 have raised
S400 600 on a portion of her Jewels. and
well known firm Of pawnbrokers ad-
vanced $125000 on other jewels
She secured besides, = is alleged. a
large sum from a group OF underwriters
here, who were so convinced that her
story was true that they advanced
money to pay a number of debts, re-
celying notes bearing d high rate of
interest in return. She told the now
familiar story Of mysterious millions,
and wished to borrow money on three
months notes, to date Sept. l.
She said the decision as to the estate
n
large fortune, no matter which way il
went, would be given in October or No
vember.
The fnanciers TO whom the solicitors
went to raise the loans were dazzIed
by the prospect Of earning 20 per cent
for three months. They sent an English
solicitor to Paris TO investigate. He
was entertained at a mansion in the
Avenue De La GTande Armee. He saw
masterpieces hanging on the walls and
was shown the mysterious safe. He
even saw the safe opened and packages
Of French notes carefully tied Up and
marked with what was said to be the
stamp Of the official examiner" He
was taken into the best circles of Paris
society, and on his return to London
reported that the loan was a good risk.
The notes fell due on Dec. 1. They
were not paid, and the woman's solicit
ors gave as the cause that the Htiga-
ton was still in proceeding, and asked
that the notes be extended three
months. A feeling of distrust entered
the minds of the lenders, and the in
Lerest was promtly paid. Under prom
ises Of 20 per cent more for the next
three months and also a bonus of
$40O, O00-twice the total amount of the
loan-when the estate was settled, the
notes were renewed. When they finally
became due on March l and payment
was not forthcoming the London lend
ers became alarmed and were instru-
mental in pricking the bubble.

Service Held Over Remains of
Late Archbishop Feehan.
THO UsANDs ATTEND
Cardinal eibbon officiated at the Sol
emn Pontifcal Requiem Mass-Re-
mains Laid in Calvary Cemetery to
Await Removal to Mt. Carmel.

Chicago, July 17.-With much pomp
and imposing ceremony and in the
presence of the Cardinal of the church
and great gathering of ecclesiastical
dignitaries, the last rites of the Roman
Catholic service for the dead were per
formed for Archbishop Patrick A. Fee
han, today at the Cathedral of the Holy
Name.
Early Masses Said.
Early in the day a series of masses
We're begun by numerous visiting
priests and ending in the great ponti.
fical requiem mass.
Crowds Throng Streets.
During the funeral services crowds
thronged the streets in the vicinity of
the cathedral, which was filled to over
flowing by the members of the clergy
and favored few of the laity.
The Funeral Service.
Cardinal Gibbons with his deacons
officiated at the solemn pontifical
requiem mass which was celebrated by
Bishop John Lancaster Spaulding of
Peoria. Archbishop Ryan of Philadel-
phia delivered the funeral sermon.
After the mass Cardinal Gibbons pro-
nnounced the absolution.
Imposing Procession.
The body of the dead churchman
was then borne to the vault in Calvary
cemetery, whence it will be removed
later to the last resting place in the
new cemetery at Mount Carmel. The
funeral coffege was grand and the
most imposing : that ever passed
through the Streets of this city.
Many Dignitaries Present.
Catholic dignitaries from many sec
tions of the country were present and
did honor to their late. co-laborer.
Military organizations, civic clubs and
church bodies accompanied the funer-
al car.
Thousands Viewed Remains.
1t is estimated that during the time
the body has lain in state, over $4,000
persons passed it in review.
Many Turned Away.
So great was the demand for admis-
sion to the services today, that after
the 1900 visiting priests had been ac-
commodated, only two lay persons
from each archdiocese could be admit.

Argument of Case Continues
in Des Moines Court.
ASKS HIGHER TAXATION
Hon. F. T. Campbell Appears in Be.
half of the PubIic-says Rate of
Assessment is Lower Than in Other
States.

Des Moines, July 1.-THE hearing
on taxation of railroads before the
executive council was marked yester-
day by the appearance of Frank I.
Campbell of this city, ex-state railroad
commissioner in behalf of the public
Mr.. Campbell, in vigorous address
that lasted an hour and half, strong
ly urged large increase in the rail-
son who has thus far appeared against
the railroads.
Statement of Gov. curinins.
Another feature of the hearing,
which lasted all day, was a statement
by Governor C,lmmins, in which he de-
fined his idea of railroad valuation. he
took the broad ground that railroad
property, is worth just what it will sell
for and that in assessing the council
had to take into consideration those
things that would help to determine
the selling price.
Were Held Important.
The statement of Governor Cummins
was regarded as of no little import
ance by the representatives of the
railroads. as it is the first time in the
course of the hearing the governor has
to any extent defined his views. He
made it plain that he did not share the
views advanced by A. S. Dudley of the
Milwaukee that the maximum value
that can properly be put on a railroad
is the cost of reproduction.
The intention of the council was to
allow the railroads to be heard in al
phabetical order the last three days of
this week. However, several attor-
neys and tax commissioners desired to
be heard on the general subject of tax
alton and this matter was further con-
sidered today, beginning at 10 o'clock
this morning.
