FUNERAL OF SENATOR HoAR.
Chaplain of United States Senate Con-
ducts Prayers.

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 4.-The city
of Worcester during the day bowed be-
side the body of her foremost citizen,
George Frisbie Hoar, while the state
OF Massachusetts and in large meas
ure the nation sympathiZed with the
municipality in her grief. The funeral
service was held in the Church of the
Unity. In harmony with the unosten-
tatious life of the senator and in ac-
cordance with his wishes there was
no elaborate ceremony or display,
though the great love OF the people OF
Worcester and of the commonwealth
induced the family to subordinate their
own feeling and admit, insofar as the
very limited capacity of the building
would allow, general attendance at
the church and to permit the body
later to lie in state at the city hall.
Rev. DR. Edward Everett Hale, chap
lain of the United States senate and
lifelong friend of Senator Hoar, con-
Quoted prayers at the home just before
2 o'clock. Only members of the imme-
diate household and few neighbors
attended this short service. The body
was then placed in the hearSe by the
active pallbearerS, all present or past
secretaries of the senator, and the hon.
orary bearers, Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, T. Jefferson Coolidge, Charles
Francis Adams, Attorney General
William Fl. Moody, former Governor
w. Murray Crane, General William F..
Draper, Judge Francis G.. Lowell of
Boston, Colonel George H. Lyman of

bearers and the family escorted the
remains to the Church of the Unity
Rev. DR.. Hale, who was the first
pastor of the Church of the Unity, and

ond pastor, now of Brockton, Mass,

QUIET ALONG WHOLE FRONT
RUSSIANS DO NOT ANTICIPATE
HEAVY FIGHTING IN THE
NEAR FUTURE.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 4.-The official
advices from the front report that all
is quiet along the whole line Of the
opposing armies. A slight Japanese
movement has been observed at Feng-
tipu, about sixteen miles southeast OF
Mukden, but there has been no col
lision. The war Office apparently does
not anticipate fighting on large scale
in the immediate future. The prin-
cipal cause of alarm at the war office
is occasioned by lack Of definite infor-
nation regarding the exact where
abouts OF Field Marshal Oyama's S
right. The Russian scouts have lost
touch with General Kurokis main
army, which may give increasing i'm
portance to the fianking movement
west under General Oku, which hither-
to has been regarded as feint for the
real turning movement to strike at
General Kuropatkins line of communi-
cations from the east. 1t also may
contain the potentialities of big sur
prise. Ten days ago Kuropatkin and
the war Office were convinced that the
Japanese were concentrating at Sian
chan and that an immediate advance
was imminent in force. Accordingly
the Russians fell back from the passes
of the Da mountains without offering
resistance. But after several days
they suddenly discovered that the Jap
anese were not pressing forward and
thereupon the Russian scouts
Pushed Out to Ascertain the Cause.
They penetrated as far as Sianchan
and Siaodyr, bringing back the star
Ting intelligence that not more than
a brigade of Japanese troops Was there.
This forthwith was followed up by an
important cavalry movement and the
reoccupation of the Da range passes,
but Kuroki's main body was not To-
Gated There were no indications,
however, that he had succeeded in
reaching a position further eastward
whence he could make a pivot move
ment against the railroad and conse-
quently it was concluded that his main
force must still be between the Yentai
miaes and Benzihu, five miles east OF
Yentai station. In word the present
advices indicate that the Japanese
preparations are being made more
slowly than supposed. Possibly the
delay Is owing to their desire to take
advantage of the fine weather to COM
plete their arrangements for a long
winter campaign before actively re-
suming the offensive. Kuropatkin's
plans are carefully guarded. While he
Is disposing his forces to take advan-
tage OF any situation that may offer
the best opinion is that he will not ac-
cept a general engagement. but will
withdraw to Tie pass, where the bulk
of his army Is maSSed.

END NOT FAR DISTANT
PHYSICIANS ABANDON HOPE OF
RECOVERY OF POSTMASTER
GENERAL PAYNE.
PATIENT is DISTINCTLY WORSE
EXPERIENCES SEVERE SINKING
SPELLS WHICH RENDER HIM
MUCH WEAKER.
PATIENT is DISTINCTLY WORSE

Washington, Oct 4.-Postmaster
General Payne is rapidly losing ground
and his condition is such that life is
being sustained only artificially. A
sinking spell at 1890 p. m, from
which he rallied slightly, rendered him
much weaker than heretofore and one
of the physicians in attendance an
nounced that he was distinctly worse
and that the end was not far off.
Up to 3 a. m. Mr.. Payne was
doing well, but at that hour he had a
sinking spell and from 3 to z he was
kept alive only by the application OF
powerful stimulants. In fact it re-
quired the use of a greater quantity of
heart remedies than at any previous
time. There was a weak response to
the treatment.
DR.. Osler came over from Baltimore
during the morning and Joined Doc
tors Magruder, Rixey and. Grayson in
a consultation. The following bull
letin on Mr.. Paynes condition was
subsequently issued:
Since 3 O'Clock Mr.. Payne has not
been so well. The hearts action is
again weaker. Condition not so favor
able"
Il has been characteristic of Mr..
Payne's illness that sinking spells
have occurred In the early hours OF
the day, but thus far he has shown re.
markable rallying power.
In the course OF the night Mr.. Payne
asked the attending physician about
Wisconsin matters indicating that he
still has grasp on public affairs.

JAPS ADVANCE RAPIDLY.
Compel General Samsonoff's Force to
Fall Back.

Mukden, Oct 4.-Couriers from Gen.
eral Samsonoff's field headquarters
bring information OF sudden retreat
on the part of General Samsonoff in
the face of a rapid forward movement
on the part of General Oku's entire
army and the abrupt resumption of
the offensive by Field Marshal Oyama's S
left, made Sunday morning.
Instead OF advancing with their GUS
tomary caution the Japanese rushed
in with an abandon born OF reckless
ness or extreme confidence. General
Oku attacked General Samsonoff's cav
airy with his infantry and dragons
and in less than twenty minutes the
entire Russian front was raked by a
heavy cross fire. Several CosBack
horse batteries were dismantled be-
fore they could be swung into action.

FOOD SUPPLY SHORT.
Russians at Port Arthur Eating Don.
key Meat.

Chefoo, Oct 4.--Chinese who left
Port Arthur Oct. i and who were pre-.
yiously engaged In burying the dead
say the effect of the Russian shells
and machine guns Is terrific. The
slopes OF q high hill were Uttered with
mangled bodies and severed heads
and limbs. In one trench the Chinese
buried 800 Japanese and 200 Russians.
While 1t is true that the regular
water supply Of Port Arthur has been
stopped by the Japanese the fortress
has other supplies which can be taken
only when the city falls.
The garrison OF Port Arthur now has
sufficient food. but the supplies OF
timed meats are nearly exhausted and
the troops are now slaughtering thirty
donkeys daily for fresh meat, which is
worth S1.20 per pound. Eggs cost ~
cents each.

HEAVIEST EVER CAST.
Many Western Women viii Vote in
Presidential Contest.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Women of the
West this year will figure in the presi-
Dental campaign as they never have
figured before and, according to dis
patches from Denver, Salt Lake City
and Cheyenne, their vote will be the
heaviest ever cast.
In Colorado the womens vote is ex-
pected to be increased, but the men
of both parties are said to be trying
to discourage them from taking sides
In the state campaign, which is a COM
plicated fight.
In Wyoming the vote nominally Is
six women to ten men. 1t is expected
that the ratio probably will be in
creased nine to ten.

Landing of the Pilgrims and after she
had finished she requested each pupil to

THE GOOD OLD WAY.

A severe cold or attack of the grippe is
like fire, the sooner you combat 1t the
better your chances are to overpower it.
But few mothers in this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to
give a good old-fashioned reliable treat
ment such as would be administered by
their grandmothers, backed by Boschee's
German Syrup, which was always liber-
ally used in connection with the home
treatment of colds, and is still in greater
household favor than any known remedy.
But even without the application of the
old fashioned aids German Syrup will
cure severe cold in quick time. 1t will
cure colds in children OF grown people.
1t relieves the congested organs, allays
the irritation, and effectively stops the
cough. Any child will take it. 1t is in
valuable in a household of children.

How to Get to Sleep.

Nervous people who are troubled with
wakefulness and excitability have usual
ly a strong tendency of blood to the
brain, with cold extremities. The pres
sure of blood on the brain keeps it in a
stimulated or wakeful state, and the
pulsations in the head are often painful.
If these symptoms occur in your case,
you should rise and chafe the body and
extremities with rough towel, or rub
smartly with the hands to promote cir
culation and withdraw the excessive
amount of blood from the brain, after
which you will probably fall asleep in a
few minutes. A cold bath, or sponge
bath and rubbing, or rapid walk in the
open air, or going up and down stairs a
few times just before retiring, will aid in
e4ualizing the circulation and promot-
ing s]eep.-Ex.

Thousht He Had 'Em.

Now and then Z. b. Sothern admits
visitors to his dressing room. He did 80

somewhat nervous and excitsble gentle
man during his moments "oh stage"
In the midst of one of their argu-
ments, during which the visitor expostu-

dignifled and decorous colored man, who
advanced to the center, saying, in an
earnest monotone:
"Haye you no fear of God?" and
mysteriously departed as he came.
Mr.. Sothern's guest was greatly dumb

questions. Resuming his argument, he
again grew heated in his remarks, and
again the colored man quietly and mys-

pressionless voice said: -,

"You are the strange woman"
"You shall be as beautiful as am and

This last remark was too much for the
mans nerves. He was barely able to
