Hohored a Former Foe.

The New York Sun, Republican, says;
"A Union veteran pleaded guilty in an
Augusta, Georgia court recent y to break
ING into store He was old and in want,
and said that dire necessity had driven him
to the act. The jury, composed of Con
federate veterans, asked the presiding
Judge to deal leniently with him. His
Honor, an ex- Confederate major, fined the
prisoner 81, and the sheriff, an ex-Con-
federate captain, paid the fine. Before
the Union soldier left the courtroom the
dollar was in his pocket The spectators
rose and remained standing in sympathetic
silence until he passed out, Later in the
day purse was made up by Confederate
veterans. and the Union soldier was sent
to his home in Kentucky.
On these facts, who shall say that the
war is not over in Georgia One heSItateS
to aver that a Confederate soldier would
have been treated with the same clemency
and generosity in Pennsylvania town
for if We may Judge from the vehement
protests to the erection Of a statue of Rob
ert f. Lee on the field Of Gettysburg that
come from Union veterans IN PennSyl-
vania. the war Is not over IN that State.

what rs a Pallbearer 2

Subdivisions writes to the Baltimore
American: Sometimes We get involved In
a friendly dispute as to what is pallbear-
er. One says that a pallbearer Is
mourner who holds or assists to hold the
pail (pallium or mantle) covering the cot
fin. This silken pail is invariably used at
all funerals across the water, so that there
is no difficulty in understanding the duties
of its bearer. The other side calls the
parties who carry the coffin pall-bearers, -
but cannot explain why they are called
pallbearers when there is no pail used. |
understand that in England they are called
bearers or underbearers. A pallbearer,
where there is no pail, appears to be as
useful a functionary as gravedlgger
would be at a crematOry.

Russell says:
Il speak positively when | say have

researches extend for 30 years Briefly,
when the moon Is maying south there /,
plenty Of rain; when 1t Is moving north
there are years Of drouth - there are
alternate wet and dry periods, the We,
lasting nine years and the dry ten -
that long beforehand preparations can be-
made for the coming drouth
Astronomers the world over are invited

Z st. Joseph, Mo-, March 3.-Aeting
upon what he believes to be 2 mes
sage from the spirit world, j.. o..
Stephens has formed a new church in
this city. with a new creed and new
doctrine. 1t is known as the Scriptural
Science church. Its creed is the lay
Ing on of hands as means of healing
the sick In this it is like many other
spiritualistic churches. But the doe
itrine of Stephens and his associates
is that the philosophy of religion is
founded on phenomena, and that oall
phenomena is produced by nature and
is governed by natural laws, and that
all spiritual gifts, including that of
the power to heal, comes under the
control of natural law. Stephens says
he has conversed with spirits in the

PRISON FOR BURNETT.
Interesting Story Of the Oklahoznaa
Who Secured Post once Through
q Unique Manipulation.

Newkirk. Ok, March 1.-R. F. Bur
nett was sentenced to two years in
the federal prison for false represen-
tation. e. F. Burnett operated a
store at Balm and President McKin-
ley made him postmaster. G. W.
Burnett, the other brother, OPP
Grated another store at Long
wood The towns are six miles
apart. 1t is alleged that after being
commissioned postmaster at Balm, R.
F. Burnett conspired to secure the
Longwood office for his brother. He
took his own commission and erased
his name and that OF his town, sub
stituting those of his brother and
the village of Longwood. This gave
G. W. Burnett to all appearances q
good commission and the former in
cumbent turned the Office over to
him. Thus the two brothers became
postmasters at both towns. AS soon
as the deception became known they
were arrested.

OF Sarresdee.

New York, March 1.-The move
ment to build a monument to the
martyrs of the prison ships ia the
American revolution seems likely to
be successful. It is to cost $500. 900,
and all but $1,000 has been sub
scribed. Congress, the state of New
York and the city Of New York have
appropriated amounts aggregating
$175.O00. The prisoners for whom the
monument is to be built are those
who were confined in the prison hulks
anchored in the East river near the
present site OF the Brooklyn navy
yard. Four thousand of Washing
toms soldiers, captured at the battle
OF Long Island, were confined in these
hulks and subsequent eaptives We're
added to their number until con-
siderable deet was employed for the
purpose. Release was continually
offered to all who would forswear
the cause for which they had fought,
but only one mana Hessian-aceept-
ed liberty ON that condition, while
more than 1900 died in their floating
prisons.
