A FUNERAL IN TURKEY.
Weird Ceremonies INDUCED in by
Followers of the Prophet.


Followers of the Prophet.
II. Rider Haggard. in a new book
of travel thus describes a funeral in
Turkey: The corpse, accompanied
by a motley crowd of mourners. rela
tives, ghtseers and children, was
laid uno ofined upon a 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 woman sit
ting on little mound at a distance
set up a most wild and melancholy
wall for the departed a 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 it was robbed of its gay-colored
scarves, of which a little child took
charge, and after a good deal of ami
mated discussion lowered into the

made short address which was well
received, after which he introduced
Mr.. Williams, whose speech follows:
SPEECH or MIR. WILLIAMS.
Hon. S. A. Williams said: "In
speeches [ have made during the last
few days | have endeavored to set
before the citizens of this State many
reasons why the administration of it's
affairs should not be entrusted again
to the Democratic party, These
reasons may be summed up in its
failure to measure up to the pledges
the party has made the public, and
its endeavor to change the real situa-
ton and avoid being put on trial for
this failure by the plea of the danger
of negro domination. This is the only
defense it makes to its failure of the
last four pears | have also endeav
ored to show why the administration
of these affairs should be intrusted to
the Republican party, calling atten-
ton particularly to the fact that re-
forms promised in its platform are
those needed in the State, and that it
can be relied upon to perform its
promises and fulfil its pledges, because
when tried few years ago that is
what it did. There are some other
reasons which entitle it to considera-
ton and these | desire particularly to
call your attention to tonight, as well
as to reply to some objections that
have been made by Democrats against
trusting it with power.
"First-The Republican party and
its leaders have during the last eight
years shown themselves amenable to
public opinion, and that they are will
ling to recognize it and to offer for
the consideration of the public higher

every qualified voter was enabled to
cast his ballot without trouble or
technicality and to have it counted,
and the result was declared, so that it
was at once accepted by everyone as
honestly and fairly reported.
Under the Democratic law we have
not merely the disfranchisement of
thousands, but already, although the
law has been in force only two years,
we had the election of the chief mag
istracy of the two largest cities in
Maryland thrown into contest. Both
of these reasons would be important
in enabling the voter to make up his
mind what to do, other things being
equal, but when the whole situation
is taken into consideration the reas-
ons in favor of the Republican ticket
become overwhelming
And now for some of the obiec-
tions that have been urged, and first
with reference to the prominent part
many managers of the Democratic
party have taken in the lobby at
Annapolis. On Wednesday morning
last, the day after replied to the
committee which formally notified
me of my nomination, in which reply
| had endeavored to set forth what
were some of the issues of this cam
paign, | was met by a Democratic
friend, who said to me What is the
matter with you, anyhow ?'-evident-
ly referring to what | had said with
reference to the lobby at Annapolis
and the sale of legislation. There has
been fight against it among Repub-
licans and they should be supported
in their fight.
"'Have you forgotten the connec-
ton of the many prominent members
of your own party with the lobby ?
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-10-08

My reply was: No, have not, but |
remember the lessons and example
they have had for 30 years and make
allowances for them The objection
to which | would like to call atten-
ton now is thus stated The Repub-
licans are as bad in such matters as
the Democrats, and if we have to haYe
a lobby we had better have a Demo
cratic one My reply is: You are
wrong. The lobby, when the legisla-
ture is controlled by the Democrats,
is conducted with rare skill and abil-
ity, in comparison with which lobbies
at Republican legislatures have been
conducted by amateurs.
The effect and example of the
Democratic lobbies for years have
been to make many Republicans feel
that it is a very legitimate part of
public life, that it is a part of the
business of a politician, and that
when our party is in power it to per-
fectly proper and legitimate for it to
engage in it. Its efforts in this line,
as compared with those of the Demo
Gratis, is as the work of children com
pared with that Of grown men. And
that is the evil of the work which has
been going on in this State for thirty
years. 1t destroys the proper ideals
of public life, and induces many men
to think that such conduct is legiti-
mate business to be engaged in by
every politician. Now, the adyan-
tage Of the Republican position is
this; The party has made open dec
laratiOn of its intention and purpose
TO take away from the legislature
and commit to some public Office the
very power that is the cause of so
much trouble"
The opera house was tastefully de-
corated and the Oakland band fur
nished music for the occasion.
The candidates arrived here on
train No. 5 Thursday morning and in
the afternoon drove down to the
Park and Deer Park where they met
a number of party friends. On Fri
day morning they went to Cumber-
land where rousing meeting was
held that night which was presided
oyer by eX- Governor Lowndes.

This morning as Mr.. John Lowry

Of lumber from his mill near Poca-
hOntas, Pa, he met with an accident
that resulted in his death. He was
coming down a hill about five miles
west of town over in Garrett county,
and in drawing the brake lever the
chain broke, throwing him under the
wheels of his wagon, the hind one
running over his head, MASKING it to
pulp and crushing his brains out.
Mr.. Lowry was one of the best
known citizens of Somerset county,

His farm is the scene of the oil oper-
ations near Finzel, Md. He is survi-
we'd by his wife and six or seven chill
dren, all grown. Mr.. Lowry was
