charge the arrangement as to the Gov
ernor's staff and other military fea-
lures.
The last time Gen. Hampton was at
the South Carolina College, celebration
in Charleston, December, 1901. It was,
therefore, peculiarly fitting that the
College should be represented in the
procession to do reverence to the
memory Of its distinguished aiumnus.
There were two hundred students in
line, headed by the faculty and the
board of trustees. 1t was an event
that brought out everybody in any
way connected with the College. who
was in the city. It was the largest
representation the College has turned
out on any occasion in recent years.
The Governor and staff were IN full
uniform. They Immediately preceded
the militia companies.
Following the Governors staff came
the officers of the State.
Congressanen Latimer, Finley and
Elliott were assigned positions in the
line of the procession, as were also
former Congressmen Hemphill and
George Johnstone, Senator and Mrs.
Tillman were in the city and were in
waiting at the church as the funeral
procession entered The Congressman
were assigned to pew with them.
After the services in the church they
remained near the grave until the
exercises were over.
THE SERVICES IN THE CHURCH.
Arriving at Trinity Church Bishop
Ellison Capers, who by special request
was in charge Of the funeral services,
met the body. Bishop Capers, who
has been a lifelong friend of Gen.
Hampton, was assisted in the services
by the rector, the Rev. Mr. Witsell,
and the Rev. Messrs. Satterlee,
Thomas and Joyner. The same good
order that prevailed on the parade was
carried out in the arrangements IL the
church. Trinity Church can at most
accommodate 1,500 people, and after
the full capacity had been utilized
others anxious to get into the church
were advised that they must forego
that privilege. The Veterans, Sons of
Veterans and military had to remain
outside, as Trinity was already full.
The services were those ordinarily
uSeQ IN Ine EtlScOpaI church. DISuCll
Capers did not think the time or the
occasion suited for funeral oraticn
and he confined the services to the
letter of the prescribed service, which
IS simple and impressive.
While the distinguished paiihearers
bore the casket into the church the
surpliced choir sang Rock of Ages, .
and as the refrain died away the Rev.
Mr.. Joyner read the lesson of the day.
After this the Rev Mr.. Satterlee an
nounced the hymn, Lead, Kindly
Light, which was the favorite hymn
Of Gen Wade Hampton, and which he
asked should be sung at his funeral.
Bishop Capers then with much feel
ing read the chapters of the Bible
prescribed in the liturgy The Rev
Mr. Satterlee delivered the prayer and
the superb choir sang How Firm a
Foundation, Ie Saints OF the Lord.
At the conclusion of the services tie
casket was borne out to the burial
ground adjoining.

Work on Extension of CIarksburg &
Fairmont Line Commenced by Con.
tractor.

FAIRMoNT, April 19-The work on
the extension OF the Fairmont g.
Clarksburg Street Railway CompanY's
line to Monongah was commenced this
morning by Contractor Blodgett 1t
was yesterday that he received Motif
cation that his bid was the lowest,
and that he was awarded the con-
tract. AT the time his men and
equipment were at Clarksburg but
they were brought here last night and
the work started this morning.
This activity shows that the work
is to be done very quickly and Manager
Hood OF the company is authority for
the statement that cars will be run
ming to the coal city within three
months.
There was much competition in the
bidding for the work, and the differ
ence In the amounts were very small
Hamilton & Irwin of this city were
close to the mark, as was the firm OF
Wade, Sloan & Co. Mr. Blodgett is a
local contractor who has done much
work for the company and has done
it well.
The new extension will be six miles
in length and will reach the heart of
the Fairmont coal region. 1t will be
extended from the West Fairmont end
OF the line and over a route that Will
not be difficult

A Splendid Entertainments.

The West Virginia University Mus
ical Clubs are credit to our state In
stitution OF learning, and their little
excursions over the state should prove
most effective advertisement for the
University. Their concert at the
Auditorium last night was delightful,
the assemble work of the clubs being
very fine, while the solo work would
have been credible to the professionals.
The playing Of Miss Hartigan on the
mandolin was revelation and was UNI
doubleday the best ever heard here.
And while Mr.. Ross Spence solo
was no revelation, In light of his re-
cent appearance here, 1t served to
heighten the splendid impression
made by him last fall, in the Trinity
choir concert.
The audience was fairly large, and
appreciative, every number on tho
program with the exception Of one.
Icing enthusiastically encored. The
club left here today for Huntington
where they will play tonight returning
here tomorrow for the Trinity choir
concert. Parkersburg Sentinel.

BUTTER GOING UP.
The only Thing to do Now is to be q
Vegetarian.

Butter will advance this week at
least four cents pound, the dealers
say. They think 1T will reach 40
cents pound. Lettuce and other
green stuff has not been reduced,
though the supply has increased per-
ceptibly. Potatoes still cost from ST.
to $l.20 bushel, sprouts and all, and
they are mighty mixed as to variety,
SO that it is impossible to cook a mess
of them and have all come out OF the
water alike. Turnips are poor in
quality, parsnips might be good
deal better and more of them in a
bunch, carrots are 'snubby" and
Brussels sprouts at 40 TO so cents a
small box are not tempting.
Just where the beef trust is going
to draw the line, and conclude to let
Others live as well as itself, is the
question Of the day. For it is certain
that the steadily climbing of prices OF
one of the chief necessities of life
force up the prices of all other eata-
bles while the cost OF meat increases.
The only real comfortable manner OF
living nowadays is to be vegetarian
live on pea soup as much as possible,
and wait patiently for spring to load
down the market stands, so that the
price of vegetables must come down
to the limits of the average pocket
book and cease to be iuxurieS.

Havana April 19.--At late hour
yesterday afternoon the Audencia

offered by a Fidelity company for the
appearance of Estes G.. Rathbone
The court requires, however, that this
bond be drawn before a notary. This

Rathbone's attorneys insist that the

be drawn before the court, as Is Gus
tomary, without further delay or
further expense. In the habeas cor,
pus petition Rathbone's attorneys de

to pardon all Americans now under

seems to have stirred Cuban senti
ment strongly in his favor and the

Times. Mr. st. Clair said 1--WE do
not like your dirty little towns.
Everything is so black and your
mountains are not picturesque like
some we have seen. We came here to
see the coal country and l suppose
Fairmont is great coal center. We
were in Morgantown and like it better
than Fairmont. There is more bust
ness there"
During the dinner both refused to
drink water and ordered beer. THAT
dirty water will kill you," said one.
1--WE have not drank one drop Of water
for over two weeks. Look at that
stuff. American beer is bad enough,
but we prefer it to water"

in Paris, and have always had de-
sire to see it. The shipments are
remarkable but everything is so black.

SEASON TO Be OPENED.
Waynesburg Is Here to Meet
the Slaughter.

Nearly all the Local Boys will be given
q Chance at Them-NO assistance on
Eligibility ON Account of Professional
Character of Visitors.
The Waynesburg base ball team
arrived this morning about $50
having driven across the country.
They are good lot of men and can
play some ball. How much they can
play will be discovered this after
noon II rain does not prevent it.
Arrangements are for the umpire
to start the ball rolling at o'clock.
The indications are tor a tremen-
dous attendance as this is to be the
opening game and much interest is
being taken in the outcome by local
fans.
It has not been determined about
the line up but it is probable that a
great many OF the possible members
of the team will be given a chance.
Those who use the stick well will of
course be left IN to the finish the
game while others who do not make
good will be retired to the bench
early in the contest.
The athletic directors say that on
account of Waynesburg not being a
strictly amateur college club the
rules in regard to eligibility will not
be insisted upon and that all who
may want to play this afternoon will
be allowed to pass without chal-
lenge. After this the rules will be
frightened.
Among the things that will make
the game today an interesting affair
will be the attendance of the cadet
baud which will come out for the
first public appearance of the Spring.
They will be prepared to entertain
the crowd with some fine music.
Rooters are getting ready to root
and unless rain shall be coming
down too fast they will be given a
chance to cut loose few lines. It
is regarded as certain that the home
boys will win.
