REMAINS ARE TAKEN AWAY.
THE LAST SAD RITES PER
FORMED TO-DAY.
Funeral of Commander George M
Stoney at The Naval Acad-
emy-Buried at
Arlington.

A large concourse of naval attaches

the dead used in the Army and Navy
service. The entire brigade of mid
shipmen attended the services and the
full complement of officers at the Ma

At the close of the services the line
of escort was formed and the brigade
of midshipmen, headed by the Naval
Academy Band, Prof. Charles A. Zim-
merman, leader, marched at the head
of the funeral cortege to the A.. w. "
b. railroad depot, ON West street.
The color bearers of the midshipmen
carried two handsome silk flags, one
a United States flag and one a Naval
Academy flag, draped in mourning.
The casket bearing the body of Com
mander Stoney was wrapped IN large
American flag. A number of hand
some floral tributes sent by naval
friends were dispatched in advance OF
the funeral party. Besides the family
of the deceased the remains were nc
companied by Superintendent and
Mrs. Brownson aud other from the
Naval Academy. Following the car
riages company of sailors from the
Santee marched in line, bearing the
Captains pennant, draped in mourn
ing. The funeral cortege was a most
imposing one, and the full military
honors of his rank were extended the
deceased.
The pallbearers were Rear Admiral
Wells S. Field, retired, of Washing
ton; Commander O. MGR Winslow,
Lieutenant Commander n. r. Usher,
Commander Harry M. Hodges, Com
mander dewitt Coffman, all of Wash
ington, and Commander Charles j.
Badger, of the Naval Academy. The
pallbearers accompanied the remains
to Washington. Commander John M.
Poyer was in command of the escort.

ington on the III. 40 q. M. train over
the Pennsylvania rail- Dad for inter
ment in Arlington Cemetery. They
were escorted from the railroad sta
tion at Washington to the receiving
vault at Arlington by two companies
of marines and the Second Battalion
of Engineers from Washington Bar
racks.

A VERY PLEASING LECTURE
ON LINCOLN AND GETTYS-
BURG LAST NIGHT.
The Rev. S. w. Grafflin Entertains
And Instructs Audience at
Maryland Avenue
Church.

A very pleasing and certainly a most
entertaining and instructive lecture
was delivered last night at the Mary
land Avenue NJ. E. Church by the
Rev. s. W. Graffiin, of Baltimore.
Although this church usually fills its
lecture room at an occasion of this
kind, but a small audience greeted
the lecturer last night.
Both the lecturer and the subject
matter of his lecture deserved a crowd.
ed house Mr.. Graffiin is a fluent
speaker. He has a wonderful vocabu-
larry, is never at loss for word and
has command OF the choicest and most
elegant language. The lecture was

lures in his description of them. He
has a deep, rich voice, enunciates dis.
tinctly. .pronounces correctly and these
rare gifts added TO his fluency as q
speaker make him a lecturer well
worth hearing.
The subject as advertised was Lin.

really was Stepping Stones in Amer.

landing of Columbus, which event in
American history, he said, gave the
true impulse to civilization. He show.

ing of the Pilgrims, and told of theiI
claiming the land in the name of God
and tue King aud the outcome of this
step in American history. Pictures
of Washington were shown and the
Father of his country in the attitude
of supplication at Valley Forge was
thrown ON the screen. Mr.. Grafflin
said man can be in public life and
still maintain truth and righteousness
aud be Christian gentlemen as well
as n politician and statesman.
Mr.. Grafiin said no great things
had ever been accomplished, but that
they had first been castles built in the
air. he said midnight oil and night
watches have marked the success of
all great men and to illustrate this he
showed pictures of Lincoln studying
to acquire knowledge after his day S
work was done. Pictures were shown
of "Old Ironsides," the frigate Con-
stitution, and the lecturer related q
happy little incident in connection
with the ship He showed pictures OF
Key and the scenes that inspired him
to write the Star-Spangled Banner,
but the lecturer deplores the tune OF
the national anthem as much as he
does the tune of "Old Hundred" to
which metre the Doxology drawls
along.
Mr.. Grafflin said it is TO be deplored
that children of this age are Taught to
think and speak lightly and contemp-
tuously of the President of our nation,
aud he blames parents for much OF
these unWholesome influences on the
young people who hear of Teddy
aud "Grover" in the lightest vein.
Pictures of battles of the Civil War
were shown and Gettysburg was
dwelt upon. Heroes of our own times
were spoken of and the faces OF
Dewey. Schley, Hobson, Philips and
others familiar to all in Annapolis
were presented to view. The lecture
contained much valuable information
presented IN highly entertaining 6
manner, and it was enjoyed by the
audience who were so profitably in
structed.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Ga

The "uric acid" and "microbic" the
ories of rheumatism are exploded and
abandoned by all. The Osteopathic
theord viz: Interference with blood
and new supply" today is the only
tenable one. 1t is followed by the
medical doctor when he directs pa
tients to hot springs that the hot
baths may relax their contracted
muscles which are damming back the
blood flow. But the other obstacles
thickened ligaments, displaced verte-
bra, ribs or pelvic bones, are in the
Osteopath's field alone. These ad-
justed the vase motor nerves regain
control of the blood vessels, pres
sure removed and the normal circula-
tion is restored.
The uric acid and poisonous pro-
ducts are results of the stagnant blood
and not causes.
Can anything be more reasonable
than this? Certainly experience con-
firms it. When the Osteopath fails to
cure. it is due to lack of skill to
detect and remove these obstacles.
Osteopathy will succeed II the Oste-
opath is skillful. Drs. Hoisington, in
the Despair block, are graduates

EQUALITY OF INTELLECT.

The Review of Reviews for Janu-
arv. in a brief editorial mention of
the Civic Federation banquet given in
New York, during the Christmas holi-
days. says that the intelligence of the
labor leaders and representatives OF
the masses, present at the banquet
was in no wise inferior to that of the
representatives of the rich and power
full syndicates, which rule the indus
tries of the country.
1t even admits that the labor lead
ers were superior, as speakers, to any
OF the representatives of press, clergy
or university, present.
This is a startled admission to come
from a great political and economical
review, such as the Review of Re-
views has come to be.
The truth is not admitted grudg-
ingly. but the comparison is made di'
rectly in concise, unmistakable Ian
guage, which really gives evidence o
an undercurrent of genuine satisfac
tion.
1t will perhaps dawn on the aristo
cratic circles, in time, that intellec
is a quality entirely distinct from in
heritance and pedigrees, and tina
wealth nor favoritism in no way adj
to its lustre, nor supply even an &c
eeptable substitute for the genuin
article. The Review says:

cancellations alone will not settl

AMERICAN SHOES IN FRANCE.

Among the features of 1904 has
been the general appearance of shoes
closely resembling in form and style
those made in the United States,
The clumsy, ungainly and heavy
French shapes are gradually disap-
pearing. In their stead are coming
gracefully cut and finely finished
shoes of a decided American appear
ance. The fact is however that it is
rather our shoemaking machines
than the shoes themselves that have
come to France. In any event, the
American appearing shoes which are
now quite generally seen in the city
and elsewhere in the provinces are
made principally in Paris with ma
chinery imported from the United
States.
This does not alter the fact that
some bona fide American shoes are
on sale here, but they are much
dearer than the French made arti-
cles, and it is not likely that they will
make headway against the strong
combination which is represented by
cheap French labor and prolific
American machinery.-From United
states Consul Ridgely, Nantes, France

the hard workaday problems that men
meet in the carrying on of their busi-
ness affairs-and while it is doubtless
true, as John Mitchell holds, that for
the present, in matters industrial. the
best safeguard for peace may lie in
the ability to fight-the man who does
not see how valuable it is to establish
kindly personal relations, and to cul-
tivate a love for justice and a sense
of mutual regard, is man not only
of low conscience, but of narrow and
meager mental development.
There remain some heads of great
corporations and some large employ
ers OF labor in this country who re-
gard with distrust, and even with alb
horrence. the leaders of organized Ia
Dor; yet no impartial judge at the
Civic Federation dinner, would have
assigned to the labor leaders any low
er rank either in character or capac-
ity than the capitalists and financiers
who sat at the same table with them
or the numerous representatives of the
press. the church, and the university

a shadow of chance to regain any
considerable part of his lost territory.

fidence and love follow that man

fense at every turn and allow herself
to be dragged down to his level?"
Answer-"Why?
A woman in such a case will almost
invariably admit the unworthiness of
the husband, and resolve time and
again to leave him to his fate; and
then she Immediately returns to his
aid. She knows that her humiliations
ere increasing instead of abating and
she is aware that promises of reform
are empty.
Just such cases are reported daily
at police stations and they are as fire.
quent in the stratum of society from
which reports of marital infelicities
do not so often get publicity. The
circumstances are parallel. In spite
of the fact that women so often marry
ito reform a mana man who has
previously demonstrated to the entire
satisfaction of his own sex and those
of the opposite sex who are not infat-
uated with him, that he does not de-
sire to be reformed, history teaches
that the woman generally lowers to
his level day by day" instead of ac-
complishing the more difficult uphill
task of elevating a degenerate.

The Eddy corporation tax law has
yielded an income of 100000 to the
state since it went into effect less
than two years ago. The legislature
will be slow to repeal or amend, for
the worse, such fruitful source of
revenue to the state. AS Oregon is
developed by legitimate corporations,
this income will greatly increase,
and other taxes will decrease cores
pondingly. The action of this law
somewhat compensates for the alb
sence of a law to tax franchises.

The most inexcusable pagan in the
world is not the naked cannibal who
hurls his lances at the sun and drinks
blood from cup made from human
skull-it is the civilized man, who
enjoying all the splendors of civlliza-
tion, yet has the morals and incIina-
tions of the savage. 1t is the money
hungry, lustful man, who tramples
down the beautiful, sublime and di-
vine in human life, for the satisfac-
ton of his appetite, for the gratifi-
cation of his selfish and narrow aims.
The cannibal is excusable because he
knows no better. This other pagan
has the examples, enlightenment and
achievements of civilized age all
about him.

The yelp of the pack on the ravage

No longer they heed. In the Russian

Their wailings the north winds drown;

And each gave a life fora town.

The peals of sweet bells turn to muf-

And sweetheart and mother and aged
