AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL.
Burial of the Poet Campbell In
Westminster Abbey.

Burial of the Poet Campbell Ii
Westminster Abbey.
Mr.. S. G. Hall in his Memories" de
scribes the burial Of the poet Camp
bell in Westminster abbey. States
men, poets and men of letters followed
the venerable dean of st. PauTs, the
poet Milman, as. reading the burial
service, he led the solemn procession
to poets corner. 1t was not, however
the presence of these iIIustrious
mourners that made the funeral one of
the most impressive ever seen in that
mausOleum of great men.
\ long, reverential pause preceded
the words, Ashes to ashes, dust to
dust" As they were slowly uttered
a Polish officer advanced from among
the mourners and dropped upon the
coffin some earth taken from the grave
Of kosciuskO, the hero whose patriot
ism and death the poet bad praised In
verse. The effect was startling.
Then came the climax.
II heard Il voice from heaven" read
the dean, and Immediately a thunder
clap shook the old abbey. He paused;
the mOurners were thrilled AS the
awful sound died away the dean finish
ed the sentence-''they rest from their

HAILSTONES.
The Generally Accepted Theory Of
How They Are Formed.

The Generally Accepted Theory OF
How They Are Formed.
Soft hail consists Of minute snow
balls and true hail, or hard pellets, of
ice Of alternate concentric layers of ice
and snow varying In size from peas to
dangerous stones OF several pounds
weight.
Ferrel's theory as to the method of
their formation is generally accepted.
Hail, be says, is owing TO the presence
of a tornado which need not actually
reach the earth. The lower part Of the
rotating column IS a region of cloud
and rain; the upper part Is snow. Rain
drops suspended for a time In the
snowy region are frozen, and II thrown
beyond the influence Of the incurrent
they fall to the ground as soft hail.
Should they be carried into the vortex,
they ascend through the rainy region,
are coated with moisture, mount TO the
colder region. where ice is formed, aud
finally fall 10 the earth.
This theory satisfactorily accounts
for hailstorms occurring chiefly in
summer, as it is only in hot weather
that these powerful ascending currents
exist.

a personal appeal on these grounds.
| Bryan, who was present. responded To
the latter point. saying that if Dan

Last evening Bryan gave out a state
ment in which he declared that Par
ker had made no substantial gains
that the enthusiasm for him was due
To the belief that he can carry New
York and with the state the country,
but that this confidence is being over
come by the protests of the democrats
of that part of New York which is
expected to furnish the democratic
votes. Bryan also said: THE I'LL
nois contest. while il was decided for
the Hopkins ticket. was really vic
tory for the contestants. because il
was decided on the question of juris-
dictiOn. and the contestants now have
behind them the unanimous support
which declares in effect that fraud was
practiced in the convention. The con-
test will be renewed before the creden-
tials committee"
Tammany Claims 100.
Tammany pursued it's fight in at
tempting to foster it's favorite son
campaign and last night were claiming
400 votes pledged against Parker.
This number is more than one-third
which would prevent a nomination.
The Parker forces displayed no alarm
at the report that votes were uniting
in opposition to the New York candf- |
date.
The making of the party platform |
will be one of the most interesting |
contests. The New York delegation |
is active in the platform question and |
the Bryan forces. are equally alert.
While it is unlikely that any effort will |
be made to reaffirm the Kansas City
and Chicago money planks it is deem
ed not improbable that an attempt will
be made to declare for the gold stan
dard.
The anti-Parker men had a meet
ing last night and appointed commit
tee to take charge of the anti-Parker
movement. They claim more than 400
delegates were represented in the
meeting who would not vote for Par
zer and that they would be able to
lold them until the New Yorker was
defeated.

There are two places of registra

cause notaries filled them out and
sealed them before midnight. Com
missioner Richards says he expects
there will be many contests, as in the
case of the Oklahoma opening He
has devised a scheme of preventing
them in a measure.
All contests will be first passed on
at the general land office. and unless
there are good grounds they will be
thrown out. This will prevent black

homa district, where several cases are
still in court.
All Records Beaten.
Previous openings of government
land are termed by the officials who
served through the Oklahoma rush as
tame compared with this. 1t is true
there was none of the picturesque
race for land that was seen in the
Oklahoma opening, but the greater
value of the land and it's increasing
scarcity has attracted greater interest |

involved has added a zest to the draw

COMMENT AND OPINION.

rETolstoi talked freely to Bryan; and
now if he takes the American papers he
has learned that Bryan marketed the in
terview at fancy prices. The Russian
sage thought he was talking TO a states
man, not a eporter.-Indianapo Jour
nal
EEIn one respect Bryan has big aG-
vantage over his democratic opponents.
AS Mr. Cleveland says, he has the stage.
And while he has it he is talking all the
while. And while his talk gets very
wearisome to many ears there is no de-
nying that he still has followers who
delight to listen to his si1very oratory.
There isn't another man in the party
who can so tickle the ears of the ground
lings, and the groundlings are what Bry-
an is after. They twice nominated him
for president.-Troy Times.
DNevertheless and Notwithstanding.
it still remains true that reciprocity in
competitive products, with Canada or
any other country, is simply species of
free trade. That is what it amounts to
in practice, and the democratic leaders,

Novels as Intoxicants.

Five times as much money in 1903, &
Is estimated, was spent for literature
rs for booze" Under this slang term
'or drink is doubtless included all kinds
of intoXicants from cider to absinthe,
and under literature every grade Of
type in binding from reprints of Shake
speare to the latest novel of Marie Cor
ELI. 1t would be amusing, were it pos
sible, to see if the drink did five times
the harm, observes Golfers Weekly.
How much cognac, for instance. could
fairly be set against an edition of 300,-
900 of new novel by Hall Caine? How
much beer would equal in sodden con-
sequences the seasons output of fiction
lied history? Good books, whether OF
the Imagination or of information, sur
pass in inspiration the finest beverage
ever quaffed and celebrated by Omar or
John Keats, but ordinary books cannot
compare in efficiency as evils with the
common abuse of whisky. Therefore,
we take the drink expense to be mis-
fortune more than five times as great
as the misfortune caused by the sum
wasted upon what our esteemed con-
temporaries cheerfully describe as lit
erature. Where drink makes criminals,
novels make nothing worse than idiots.

The Courier-Journal would not i'm
peach Mr.. Bryan's integrity; though
the Bennett business is a sore strain
upon its confidence and respect. Mr.
Blaine was charged with nothing
orse: and assuredly Mr.. Blaine was
N many ways much abused. Mr..
Bryan may be a perfectly high-mind-
ed, disiLterested man, but the spec
tacie Of party leader struggling
with widow for the larger part Of
her husbands estate-the will and
all its appendant documents prepared
by himself in his own house more
than a thousand miles away from
the testators home-he no blood
relative, nor even an old friend-is
an unsavory spectacle. With it be-
fore us-and along with it the fact
that eight years ago Mr.. Bryan was
obscIre and poor and that he is now
rich and famous-we must decline to
accept the Characterization of the
Lexington Gazette, his newspaper or
gan in Kentucky, that he is "the
greatest general the loftiest states
man and the purest patriot who has
adorned American politics since the
formation of the government" Yet,
on no other hypothesis can any man
justify his support of Mr. Bryan un-
der existing conditions. - Louisville
Courier-Journal (Dem.).
ErSecretary Shaw says the democrat
&c party cannot make fight on the trust
issue. That seems to remove the last
g'cam of hope from the democratic hOri-
Zon.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
D'Mr. Bryan should beware CT being
as funny as he can. His offer of prize
of 500 for platform which the leading
democratic newspapers of the country
will accept Is humorous but not wise.
There is every prospect that such plat
form will be written and adopted at St
Louis Mr.. Bryan will then need all his
money for his bolt and for litigation
with widows aud orphans.-Chicago
Chronicle.
