HOLD FUNERAL IN A TENT.
Big Canvas Put to Many Strange Uses Serves as Church to
 Mourners.

Tn Kendall county, H., there is big for an odd mixture of purposes For many years it covered regulation saw dust ring in which there were all kinds of performances by man and beast. On other occasions it was made use Of for revivals, and has been hauled around the country from place to place for many purposes. This year Aurora bloomed out as Chautauqua town, and the tent sheltered big audiences intent on hearing lectures, recitations, and speeches from well-known takers. Music of all kinds has at odd times filled the big inclosure. However, the oldest purpose to which it was ever put came when Nels o. Cassem, well-known Kendall county man, fell from his wagon as he was driving along the pub lie highway and broke his neck. Cas- sem was a well-known character, a farmer who in all of that section was known as the king of the Norwegians. He was known to be worth several hum dred thousand dollars in valuable lands. and the funeral promised to be larger than any church in Yorkville or Aurora would hold. One of the sons resorted to a unique eXDedient. He hired the big tent and stretched it out on one of the beautiful meadows over which his fa- ther had roamed for so many years, and the funeral sermon was thus preached under canvas.

Starting "Run" on Bank.

While a woman was waiting to de- posit five dollars in New England savings bank she saw man draw out $900. She had never before seen so much money at once, and concluded that the bank could not stand such a heavy drain on its resources. She told her friends about it, and the news spread that the bank was in danger. A run" followed, and the depositOrs were not satisfied that the bank was sound until between ten and twenty thousand dollars had been withdrawn. The men who read this paragraph need not say that the thing would not have happened if 1t had not been for a silly woman Full-grown men. with years of business experience, do just as silly things when they get frightened about losing their money.-Youth's Compan- ion.

Democracy in the White Houre.

In view of the recent entertainment
of John Morley by the President the
New York World says: Such a gath
ering as met Mr.. John Morley, at his
own request. in President Roosevelt's
dining room, could not have been
brought together under similar condl.
tions at the table of any European
chief of state. Labor leaders, capital.
lists and students of social problems
found themselves equally at home as
they compared their widely varying
views of industrial questions under the
stimulating leadership of the President
and the keen and open minded inter
est of the chief guest.
The fact that our chief magistrate
can put himself in this intimate touch
with the various elements Of our citi-
zenship is one OF the great advantages
he enjoys over those foreign potent
ates who, hedged in by impenetrable
etiquette. must depend for their in
formation about popular feeling upon
third and fourth hand reports filtered
through relays OF officials interested In
concealing the truth.

sensational trial followed, the
young woman being awarded a ver-
dict against him.
Upon being defeated for congress
by Major w. C. Owings in 1894, which
was due largely to the Pollard scan-
dal, Col. Breckinridge resumed the
practice of law in Lexington, but ran
again for congress in 1896 as the
nominee of the sound money demo-
Gratis and republicans. He was de-
feated. Shortly after this defeat he
took charge of the editorial depart
ment of the Lexington Herald, and
since that time he has devoted all of
his time to this work and his extern
sive law practice.
The verdict rendered against him
in favor of Madeline Pollard was new
or paid and so far as Is known still
stands against him. 1t was well known
by the attorneys at the time of the
sensational trial that no money would
ever be paid, even II verdict was
found for her, as the financial condi-
ton of Col. Breckenridge was at low
ebb, and since that time every dollar
made by him has been used as living
expenses for his family.
His defeat by Maj. Owings for the
democratic nomination for congress
followed closely the famous breach of
promise case, and his defeat was due
in great measure to the women of the
district. who worked and fought
against his election.

tcruiser Pennsylvania, in her official
"Trip off the New England coast yester-
DAY, made the highest speed with the
smallest relative expenditure Of fuel
of any armored vessel so far built for
the United States navy.
Her contract called for % knots. and
her average speed for the four hours
trial was 22.43 knots per hour, while
her coal consumption was 2.2 pounds
per horse power per hour.
Her builders, William Cramp & Son
of Philadelphia, made no attempt
throughout the trial to push this, their
greatest vessel, but on the other hand.

iernment requirement at the most eco
homic expenditure Of fuel possible. Her
trial was therefore the first OF the nu-
merous tests over the Cape Ann course

puches. Rabid Analomaniae.

Reports from London indicate that
the duchess of Manchester Is becom-
ing more and more of an Anglomaniac
the longer she lives in the tight little
island. Until Papa Zimmerman, of
Cincinnati, had settled up the dukes
debts she maintained fair show OF
respect for her native land, but once
the wolf was driven from the ducal
door her grace began to show eXtrav-
agant admiration for her unaccus-
toned surroundings. She showed
profound respect for titles and has
caused more than few hearty laughs
over her predilection for mentioning
her titled acquaintances, carefully
using all the name handles possible.

RUSSIAN PApERS
SUPPRESSED BY GOVERNMENT
Issues of One Liberal and One Reac-
tionary Sheet Confiscated by
Minister of the Interior.

st. Petersburg. Nov. 25.-Interior
Minister Syiatopolk-Mirsky went to
the Tsarskoe-Selo yesterday to present
the Zemstvo memorial to Emperor
Nicholas.
The situation is extremely delicate.
Two incidents have occurred. both OF
which initiate against the liberals and
Increase the difficulty of Prince SWAT
opoiK-Mirsky's position.
Prince Mestichersky, editor Of the
Grach Dain, who is head of the reac-
tionary press. yesterday morning I'M
masked his batteries, attacking the
Interior minister in such a fashion for
his liberal tendencies that Prince Svi-
atopolk-Mirsky for the first time since
he assumed the ministry. ordered the
confiscation of the issue.
In the strength of the influence be-
hind such an attack lies the real sig
nificance OF Prince Mestichersky's act.
At the same time. from the opposite
direction, the Nasha Ziesn (Our Life)
new radical paper authorized by
Minister SviatopolkMirsky. indulged
in direct attack on the Emperor, with
the result that the minister ordered
the suspension of the publication. The
action of this paper is considered to be
be very unfortunate. as it places a
powerful weapon in the hands Of
Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky's enemies.
Many OF the minister's friends are in
clined now to believe that the Zemst-
voists went too far and have leopard
ized the position of their best friend.
Prince Ukhtomsky, editor of the Viedo-
mosti, said to the Associated Press:
THE duty of all friends Of liberty
regime Is to uphold and sustain Prince
Svlatopolk-Mirsky in every possible
way. His retirement would be a great
misfortune"
There was some talk this afternoon
of an offer on the part of the govern
ment to compromise with the Zemst-
yos by giving them voice in the
Council of the Empire. which is the
law-nsaking body. The proposition is
to elect two members OF each Zemstvo
to sit in the council and participate In
its deliberations, but not to vote. Such
/ a plan, it is pointed out. while not CIV
ing the Zemstvos share in the law
making, would insure the presentation
of the views of the provinces on all
laws enacted.

A Teachers Testimony.

Hinton, KY, Nov. 28.-(Special.)-
It has long been claimed that Diabe-
ties is incurable, but Mr.. E. ]. Thomp-
son, teacher in the Hinton school.
has pleasing evidence to the contrary.
Mr.. Thompson had Diabetes. He took
Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In
q statement he makes regarding his
cure Mr.. Thompson says:
II was troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in
this part of the state. They claimed
| had Diabetes and there was little
to be done for me. Then | started
to use Dodds Kidney Pills and what
they did for me was wonderful. 1t
is entirely owing to Dodd's Kidney
Pills that l am now enjoying good
health"
Many doctors still maintain that
Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes
is a kidney disease, and the kidney
disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills will
not cure has yet to be discovered.

to the contents of the documents and
the individuals named in them.

an effort to exclude from the
malls his writings on finance. He
expresses the opinion that such pro-
ceeding would not be permitted by the

nies and individuals, because OF my

say: Bring them along. and Will be
prepared to give battle. giving no odds
and asking for none I have been tell
ing a few raw truths, and in this age
of dollars no man will be allowed to
distribute truths about finance without
paying the price. My truths are big
ones, and l suppose the price will be
equally big. but the American people
may rest assured that whatever the
price I will pay it and not ask any
sympathy for doing so. and they can
rest easy about another fact-1 will
make those who have been plundering
the people during the past ten years
pay a price to which mine will appear
like tight shoe compared with the
inQuisitorial racks of the dark ages.
Let the American people make no
mistake. Twelve o'clock is just being
struck at the While You Wait factory
where multi millionaires have been
turned out from the raw material, and

more courts than there are In America
to drown the ominous sound Of that

Thanksgiving Football Games.

Denver, Nov. 25.-Two football
games were played in Denver yester-
day in the presence Of enormous
crowds. The State University played
against the Leland Stanford University
of California and was defeated by
score Of 33 to o. The University OF Den
yer played against the State School OF
Mines and lost the game by score OF
12 to G. OF the latter game the Repub-
lican says: 1.-THE score tells the result,
but does not show anything about the
game. 1t was one of the most interest
ing games Denver has seen for long
time. the result being in doubt until
the final whistle blew. Both teams
played a fast. snappy game. at times
the play being SO fast that 1t was d1f-
fcult to follow it. The game was full
of spectacular plays, A. Pate getting
away twice, once for q sixty-yard run
to a touchdown and again for a fifty
yard run down the field; Hughes ran
eighty-flve yards to the goal posts and
thought he had touchdown. but 1t was
not allowed, as the referee had blown
his whistle and the ball was dead be-
fore Hughes took It,
Both schools were supported by
large crowds of rooters, and they rooted
long and loud and all the time. Tns
Miners were helped with their songs
by the Fort Logan band, which had
been engaged especially for the occa-
sion. During the intermission, the boys
from both schools formed long lines
and marched around the field shouting
and singing"
OF the Colorado-Stanford game the
News says:
"a throng Of over 10000 enthusiastic
and football-mad people saw Leland
Stanford defeat the University of Colo
rado in splendidly clean and sports
manlike game Of football at Broadway
park yesterday afternoon. The Califor-
MIA eleven won speedy and spectacu-
lar game on its merits. Colorado put
up a heroic and determined defense,
which wrung cheers of appreciation and
encouragement from the thousands OF
loyal supporters present"
An immense crowd came from Boul-
der to witness the game. Those who
saw the arrival of the Boulder trains
declared that the whole town must be
'depopulated.

coIleae Girls Walking Clubs.

1t is a move in the right direction
when college girls start of their own
accord to organize walking clubs. AT
Wellesley such union has been
formed, with the appropriate name OF
Cross-Country club. 1t is the first of
the kind there and the object pro
claimed is that habit of taking long
walks may be formed. Health is the
first desideratum and it shows that
the young women mean business
when each member of the club is
required to walk out of doors at least
three hours a week-Brooklyn Eagle.
