Yesterday afternoon the funeral
of the late John c.. Morrison was
held at half past two o'clock. The
funeral was very large one, the
procession extending from the
railroad track across Upper Wells
down Wells to Elizabeth, down
that street to the late home Of the
deceased. 1t was a Masonic fu-
neral, and over 100 Masons were
in line, twenty-five from the Wet
eel lodge coming down and many
from Middlebourne, Friendly, St.
Marys and New MatamOras. Most
of the Masons were old and life
1ong personal friends of the de-
ceased.
The funeral services at the
house were conducted by Rev. T..
A. Anderson, pastor of the Pres
byterian church, of this city. The
music was furnished by a male
quartet composed of Messrs. Kin
cade, Devore, Wallace and Bower.
The floral offerings were many
and beautiful beyond description.
There was full carriage load OF
them, and were all tokens OF sim
cere sympathy and respect to the
deceased and his estimable family.
After the friends had taken a
final farewell with their old
schoolmate, business friend and
acquaintance the remains were ta-
ken in charge by his Masonic
brethren, Messrs. 81. W. Mccoy,
w. J. Neuenschwander, F. D.
Mccoy, E. Roome, Frank E. Nc
Coy. G.. L. Lowther, A. c. Jack
son and J. H. Mccoy acting as
pallbearers, and at the grave the
beautiful Masonic services were
conducted by 7. Carrie Neale, mas
ter of the lodge, assisted by G. Z.
Bailey, past master.
The Masonic lodge in this city
was granted a dispensation by the
grand lodge February Z, 1878, and
a charter the 18th Of the same
month. Only seven Masons or
ganized the lodge, and Mr.. Morri-
son was one of the seven charter

The military company will hold
a carnival during this week, and
the committee has made wise
selection in arranging with and
securing the famous Robinson
Amusement company, which will
give a series of exhibits during
the week. This company is well
known to the citizens of almost ev-
cry State in the Union, being one
of the very best amusement COM
panies travelling. Words of un-
stinted praise come from every
place where it has exhibited in the
past speaking in the most laudable
terms of the meritoriOus enter
tainments connected with the COM
pany.
Mr.. Robinson has a healthful,
wholesome series of exhibits which
any lady, gentleman, boy or girl
can attend without fear of, hear
ing or seeing obnoxious or indeli-
cate shows. The various amuse-
ments which he presents instruct,
amuse and edify their patrons.
With it are no so-called Oriental
theaters or dancing girls, no re-
pulsive snake eaters. In fact, no
exhibits to which the most refined
lady or gentleman comes object
to witness. In addition to these
paid exhibits are many wonderful
acts of daring nature, which

lief that the japanese are using
submarine boats in their Port Ar
thur attacks are given color by a
statement credited to a retired
naval officer in this city. He de-
clares it to be the only way in which
one can account for the succession
of disasters met by the Russian
ships.
1t is incredible" he said, "that
ships which undoubtedly have
charts Of the mines aboard should
be blown up by them. One of the
first things Vice-Admiral Makaroff
did when he reached Port Arthur
was to re-survey Port Arthur and
locate the mines.

slant bombardments if they are not
feints made in order to entice the
Russian ships out9 The theories
that the Petropavlovsk struck her
own mines, or that the Japanese
planted a mine during a night are
untenable and we know that the |
japanese have sub marines.

emily an unused wharf, in a Japan
ese town before the war and saw
a submarine surrounded ON three
sides by high fences so that it was
visable only from the water side.
Before he had an opportunity to
examine it japanese soldiers on
guard drove him away with fierce
hreats, They seemed highly indig-
liant that he should have caught

OF this balance could be employed as
a war fund only at the risk OF great

Sunset Dreams.

The moth and beetle wing about
The garden ways of other days:
Above the hills fiery shout
OF gold. the day dies slowly out,
Like some wild blast a huntsman
blows;
And Ser the hills my fancy goes,
Following the sunsets golden call,
Unto vine-hung garden wall,
Where she awaits me in the gloom,
Between the lily and the rose,
With arms and lips of warm per-
fume--
The dream OF love my fancy knows
The glow-worm and the FREELY glow
Among the ways Of bygone days;
A golden shaft shot from bow
OF silver, star and moon swing low
Above the hills where twilight lies;
And DER the hills my longing flies.
Following the stars far, arrowed gold,
Unto gate, where as Of old,
She waits amid the rose and rue.
With star-bright hair and night-dark
eyes.
The dream. to whom my heart is
true.
My dream OF love that never dies.

son and others continued the work.
They declared, however, that the
mines were their property, not the
mission society'S. Not wishing to
have the church organization ap.
pear as litigant in court, private
arbitration was decided on, the
hearings beginning in secret on
February 2S.
Two OF the disputed claims were
at one time held by Eskimos and
this necessitated the presence in
Chicago Of Gabriel and Constan-
tine Uparaczuck, natives Of Alaska.
The ownership Of mine No. 9 was
the only one passed upon by the ar
bitrators.
The opinions Of Arbitrators Gil
bert and Lane recites that "Ander-
son himself did not either di
rectly or indirectly make any con-
tribution either by labor or money
toward the acquisition of the title
to the claim in question. He never
saw it until sometime after the legal
title to the mine became vested in
him."
The counsel for Hulbergg in
cluded N. Soderberg, former
judge of San Francisco; Frank
Quinn, Peoria, and IL. F. Williams,
The defense was repre-
sented by Judge Chytraus.

RESULTS OF THREE WEEKS OF
 WAR

A state of war has existed in the Hosdlities were begun on the initia- tive of Japan by a naval attack on Port Arthur February s, three days after diplomatic relations were sev- cred with Russia. Since that date Japan has been the aggresSor on both sea and land, and has been victorious in every encounter. Three of the eight batueships in Russia's two east ern squadrons have been disabled, and seven of her eight best cruisers.
 The net result of these disasters has been to give Japan the control of the sea. This advantage is being used in such a way as clearly shows that Japan has the ability to hold all she has acquired by her bravery. She keeps the two eastern sQuadrons of Russia separated. She has practic- ally bottled up the Port Arthur feet She is intercepting all supplies and is landing troops at various points in Korea and Manchuria. Russia has been compelled to make a retrograde movement, and establish her base of supplies at Harbin, fully 400 miles inland. These events have upset previous calculations as to the out come of the struggle. The theater of war has been transferred, contrary to all expectations, from the valley of the Yalu river in Korea to Manchuria, on or above the Liao-tung peninsula.
 At present the future looks dark for Russia. She has lost much of her prestige. and her operations are sufi- ciently handicapped by the weather and the great distance over which troops and supplies have to be carried before they can reach the scene of the war. Before spring appears and the overland Siberian route is thoroughly opened, Japan will probably have hun dreds of thousands of troops in- trenched in impregnable positions Kansas City Journal.

IN SHADOW OF THE GALLONS

In the Louisville jail lies a young man under sentence of death for the murder of William Goebel, who died governor of Kentucky four years ago. The prisoner is Caleb Powers. Since his arrest in March, 1900, Powers has not known an hour of liberty. Three times he has been tried for this crime, three times convicted; two of the convictions condemning him to life Imprisonment and the last condemn ing him to be hanged
 A situation well nigh hopeless he has faced each day with the unfailins front of hope. Conditions that would have broken down ninety-nine out of a hundred of even the most hardened criminals have failed to weaken the courage or undermine the seh-control of this young man of 32.

China Lore For Amateurs.

The amateur china collector is often confused by the terms hard paste- and soft paste" The Ladies' World explains them thus: The paste is the clay of which the article is made.
 Hard paste is made of natural clays, and when broken shows bright and sparkling. In hard paste articles the rim on which they rest is left without a glaze, which is an easy method of distinguishing them. These hard paste porcelains were made at Plymouth. Bristol and Liverpool. Oriental china is also hard paste.
 Soft paste is more porous and dull, very often creamy in tint. Soft paste wares were made in many places in England, such as Bow, Chelsea, Worces- ter, Derby, Staffordshire, etc.
 The glaze must be distinguished from the paste. If is the grassy cover ing of the paste. It may be hard or soft, the hard paste feeling cold and glassy to the touch, the soft paste rather soft and gummy.
