NEW YORK, N. Y. June 22.-Among
those who attended tho funeral OF Paul
Calvi. one OF the leading tobacco mer-
chants OF the city, at his late home in
Rockaway, to-day We're: j. N. Culling-
worth and G. w. spicer. of Richmond.
Va, ana L. B. Maclln, Of Petersburg,
Va, businesss associates of the dead man.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Frank Page, rector of st Johaes Pro-
testant Episcopal Church. brother OF.
Thomas Nelson Page.
Mr.. Calvi was Of the firm of Moore &
Calvi of this city, and had large business
connections In Virginia, where he was
we'll known. One Of the peculiar features
of the funeral was the eulogy delivered
by George Drakely, a we'll known broker
and clibman and a lifelong friend of the
dead man.
EULoGY OF FRIEND.
Mr.. CalvI was affiliated with no religious
sect and had entered into pact years
ago that the one who survived should de-
liver tho eulogy at the funeral OF the
other. Mr. Drakely said In part:
''During close and intimate acquaint-
anceship OF nearly a quarter of q CEN
tury's duration, which, 1t makes mo par
,tlcularly glad to say, was never seriously
rufIled by the winds OF our many dis
cussions, and never rent by any storms
OF difference, Paul and quite naturally
talked many times of the wonders of lifo,
the certainty of death and the mystery
of that lmitless beyond, through the
shrouding veil of which he has preceded
US.
During these conversations. and partly
az the result OF them. we had a compact
between us that the oneleft behind should
undertake to tell to tho friends and nc-
quaintances who should gather to take
fore what sort OF u man he seemed to
him who knew him well and what the
record of his life and the example of his
living should be to those who must still
bear tho burden, suffer tho care and con-
tinue the toll allotted to those of us who
still live.
HONEST TRIBUTE.
mo fulsome euiogy would become the
time and circumstances, even We're Ven
turesome enough to say aught of which
he would dsapprove had he the framing of
nv words, but | tell you nothing new
when say his WAS Il kindly, gentle,
genial soul, ever ready to help those who
needed help, without any questioning Of
their deserts or non-deserts. He was
firm In his upholding of what he believed
Il, he tho right, and strong as hammered
steel In active defense and support of any
whom he believed to be the objects OF
ATTEMPTED Injustice OF wrong. His faith
i nthos he honored with his friendship
was sublime In its simple. perfect stead
fastness so long as they We're true to
themselves and did no wrong"

The spread of the culture Of the
peanut is nothing short of phenom-
email. A native probably of Surf
nam, in Central America, it was
introduced in Brazil and Peru IN
the days of that mysterious civiliza-
ton of which evidences remain In
records and monuments. Then it
travelled, perhaps long before Co
lumbus set out on his haphazard
journey, and reached China. BY
that enterprising people (enterpris-
ing in those bygone days. it was
carried to India, Ceylon and the
Malay archipelago. Thus Asian
tropics were blessed with a truly
American plant. Then, again, Por-
tuguese adventures, after the dis
covery of America by belated Euro
peans, carried the peanut in their
slave ships to the African coast,
and thus another continent was add
ed to the conquests of the Amer
lean. Later days have seen it in
wade Australasia, and its culture
there is urged moi. only for the sake
ef hoed for MAN hn the nuts, bat
also for cattle in the foliage.-Out-

indian GAMBLING.

White men gamble with cards, but
the Indian uses gayly colored sticks
with which to WOO capricious for
tune. The Thenikeets' "deck" con-
sists of thirty sticks, which they
name "crabs," ducks" etc. The
sticks are shuffied and seven are hid
in a tuft of grass. The remainder
are covered. The game consists in
guessing in which piles are certain
of the animals named. The Indians
will stake all they possess, including
wives and children, on the game.
Similarly the Haidahs play "odd
and even" with sticks, the winner
being he who gets all the sticks. The
game of the Colvilles is called sal
kollock" and is played with spears
Cast through rings. Nearly all the
Selfish tribes of the British north
west territories scorn the ordinary
forms of gambling and bet only on
horse racing.

plant clings amid thickly grown
moss against the side of the famous
old Church of st. Michael. 1t is
claimed that it has bloomed peren-
nially since the days OF King Al
