BURIAL OF CAPT. DUFFY.
Dead Veterans Remains at Rest IN
Arlington Cemetery

Funeral services over the remains of the
late Capt. Peter ]. Duffy were held at his
late residence, 933 H street northwest, at
$50 o'clock this morning. The remains
were then escorted to st. Patrick's Church,
where mass was said by the Rev. DR.. Stat
ford. DR.. Stafford's address took the form
of a eulogy on the veterans of the civil
war. and he took occasion to speak of the
brilliant accomplishments of Capt. Duffy
as a soldier, as well as of his sterling
qualities as a man of business and in his
family relations. DR.. Stafford also paid a
tribute to the flag which covered the casket,
and in speaking of those who had fought
for it, said that if the soldiers who did
their work so we'll during the stirring times
between 1861 and '65 had had the conduct
of affairs during the reconstruction period
there would have been less of heartburn
ings and misunderstanding; that men who
fought as they did could do nothing mean
and that the disagreeable effects that last
ed for so long after the war would have
been partly if not entirely avoided.
The interment was at Arlington national
cemetery, where DR.. Stafford also conduct
ed the services. At the conclusion of the
brief religious rites the Union Veteran
Legion took charge of the services, Col.
Dean. commanding Encampment No. 69,
U. V. L., presided, with Col. n. c. Shafts
we'll acting as chaplain and Gen. Dennis
OConnor as adjutant. This ceremony,
While BRIEF ana simple, was impressive anu
gave a fitting finale to the career of
brave soldier.
Messrs Allison Nailor, Moses c. Whit
ney, William Hodges Griffin, Hugh Cos
grove and Capt. Lee NJ. Lipscomb, all of
them lifelong and devoted friends of the
deceased. acted as honorary pallbearers,
while the body bearers were Capt. Charles
E. Troutman, Gen. Dennis OConnor and
Col. M. Emmett Urell representing the
Union Veteran Legion, and the commits
stoned officers of Company B, Washington
Light Infantry Corps, Capt. Duffy's old
company in that organization, with which
he served for many years as first lieuten-
ant. Capt. Duffy was, next to Col Burton
r. Ross the Oldest surviving member of
that corps.
The remains were met at the door of st.
Patrick's Church by guard of honor COM
posed of the commissioned officers of the
Washington Light Infantry Corps in full
uniform.
The floral tributes from various orsani-
cations with which Capt. Duffy had been
connected, as well as many personal offer
irss from old friends, were numerous and
handsome while the attendance at the
church services, as well as at the grave IN
Arlington evidenced the respect and esteem
in which he was he'd as member OF the
community.

A Sunday Law for Washington.
or of The Evening Star


The hour seems to have struck for Sc,
curing Sunday law for the national capi@
tai, for the butchers and labor unions are
at last moving in their own behalf.
Years ago the city council of Washing.
ton, when it governed itself, enacted a
Sunday law, which was long observed but
lapSed at last because it was discovered
that the mayor had forgotten to sign IL.
Work was begun in 1889 for a renewal OF
the law. 1t was a part of the Blair Sum
day rest bill that Cardinal Gibbons and
the Protestant assemblies and conferences
Endorsed. and also the Knights of Labor
and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers. As that bill made no Roadway. the
Churchman's League took the matter up
and enlisted all the churches in support
of a bill, which, with notifications, was
twice approved by the District Commission
ers, and represents the average American
Sunday law. 1t is now the Dillingham;
Allen bill, which forbids Sunday traffic,
with liberal exceptions. 1t also forbids
labor with the usual exception for those
who keep another day. That does not all
low Jews to trade on Sunday but only TO
do servle labor" if they choose, provided
they have observed another day for rest
and worship.
The butchers have secured the introduce
ton of the Mcmillan bill, which forbids
nothing but Sunday traffic. Labor is not
forbidden nor are even the amusements
which are themselves a form of traffic and
labor at once The Dilingham-Allen bill
amusements, but only such as disturb the
quiet and peace of the day" and less than
this long experience in other states shows
will not be satisfactory to the general pub
lie.
However, we see no reason why both
bills should not be passed without the
friends of either opposing the other. The
butchers will get what they seek, so far as
stopping Sunday traffic in either case. II
the Mcmillan bill passes it Will be a gain.
But in the light of experience in the states
1t cannot be expected that it will 10
enough and this would seem to be a time,
when everybody who, because a resident
in the capital or because of national inter-
est in 1t desires to see Sunday law en-
acted here as good at least as the average
OF states should cooperate to secure the
hes. possible law. OF all the political dis
visions of the civilized world the only oneb
having no Sunday law are France, Califor-
mia, Idaho and the District of Columbiak
Surely Congress ought to do as well By
the capital as its city council, which END
acted a Sunday law which was in SUBJ
stance the very one whose restoration -
now asked WILBUR F. CRAFTS.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

The Bowling Green Tribune tells
of rush of Toledo people to that
town to do their Christmas shopping.
The Editor of the Tribune makes
bold statement but does not furnish
any details of trade for proof.
Bowling Green is not the only town,
if you please. Perrysburg is still on
the map and doing business.
st. Louis comes to Perysburg to
buy wheels and those wheels don't
all come out of our head, either;
there are few remaining. If you
doubt it listen to them buzz, thusly:
Our automobile factory refused an
order for 500 autos for Toledo firm,
because the factory was behind with
their Perysburg orders.
One of our dry goods firms recently
declined an order for 235 uniforms
for employees of Toledo suburban
railroad company because the firms
were not willing to ask their all ready
overworked employees to put in extra
time.
A Perrysburg coal dealer refused
to supply coal to Toledo factories
preferring to retain his stock to sup
ply home trade.
Perrysburg butchers saved the To
ledo people from starving by loaning
Toledo dealers enough meat to sup
ply their customers.
Our Perysburg grain dealers are
constantly beseiged by Toledo dealers
for every posnd OF grain they can
supply.
Toledo people have Il regular habit
of coming up here to buy booze, and
they generally get what they come
after.
Oh, yes, Bowling Green is a good
town, but there are OTHER towns in
Ohio, and Perrysburg is among 'em.

Old Jail Removed.

The old jail is now completely n
thing of the past, the site being all
that is left of it. The building was
constructed securely and in It's time
was probably regarded as a model of
safety. The huge blocks of stone were
fitted together with balls of iron set
into the corners where the stones
joined. so that no one stone could be
moved without moving others at the
same time. Contrary to the general
expectation no relics were found. 1t
was thought that perhaps the razing
of the cells would reveal some secrets
of the old Jail or some tools used by
old time prisoners that might be con-
cealed within its walls. Tribune.

1t is worthy of remark that the
Boer Generals are urging loyalty to
Great Britain, and that Kruger and
the other statesmen are still hold
ing on to the national funds for the
purpose of "upholding Boer National
ity in the future" If our memory is
correct, the same state of affairs once
held in this country. The men who
do the fighting generally know when
they have enough, the irreconcilables
are invariably the statesmen" who
stay at home and do the talking.

A Baltimore woman has obtained a
divorce because her husband made
her catch beetles and bugs, though
she is terribly afraid of such mon
sters. At the time of her marriage
her husband, Mr.. Welch, was in the
employ of the United States geologi-
cal survey. While in Dennison, Tex,
Mrs. Welch said, her husband began
to collect beetles, centipedes, taran-
tulas, bugs and insects, and She had
to help him. He kept the insects in
their room, she said, and when they
escaped at night he would compel
her to catch them.
