FUNERAL. NOTES

Ten years ago when Bryan first
sprung his free silver remedy it took
the country by storm and if vote had
been taken free silver would have
carried by large majority. But
when the people got to thinking it over
they found that free silver was de-
fusion and consequently voted against
it. That was ten years ago and the
country has enjoyed abundant pros
perity ever since.

in the world, but the profit on the gas

NIght CHANGED 10 Day.

Poking their long fingers of light
into every corner of Hampton Roads.
and illuminating every detail of
cloudland, search lights will make
night as bright as day during the
Jamestown Exposition, which is to be
held next year at Sewell's Piont. near
Norfolk, Virginia.
Just across Hampton Roads from
Sewell's Point is Fortress Monroe,
which is equipped with powerful
searchllghts by means of which
newspaper can be read five miles away.
Every warship at the Naval Rend-
ezvous next year will also have search
lights, some of which are SO powerful
as to require a special engine to gen
crate their electricity. Among the
largest of these is that just supplied
to the new battleship. Connecticut.
The lens of this searchlight is more
than FIVE feet across. When the max
imum power is being used the lights
have an intensity Of sixty thousand
candle power. and its rays can be
thrown several miles.
Searchlights were originally adopte-
ed to find torpedo boats at night,
They are now used for signalling, to
discover a man overheard. to aid nav
igation, and for many purposes
When man falls overheard from one
of the great ships at sea. the search
light is at once trained upon him, and
the ray is held there until he is pick
ed up by the boats.
In signalling shutter is attached
to the searchlight. This alternately
interrupts and prolongs or shortens
the period during which the light is
visible. By this means the operator
is able to telegraph forty miles,
using any telegraph code. In Manila
harbor, during the insurrection, mes
sages we're frequently sent more than
forty miles. by using the clouds as
ledectors. This system can be used
on cloudless nights, but the signals
cannot be seen so far. The search
light is also used in signalling on the
same principle as wig-wa flags.
Searchlight drills take place when
ever squadron lies in harbor. Steam
launches, to represent attacking tor
pedo boats, are sent out from the ves-
sells, with instructions to retrun under
full speed each launch striving to get
as close as possible without being
discovered. Meantime the search
lights are 80 directed as to have their
rays skim every square Of water with
in the lights range. Sometimes.
even under this severe glare of light,
the boats succeed in reaching their
ships. In actual war this would. of
course. result in the annihilation of
the war vessel.
Visitors to the Jamestown Exposi-
tiOn will have an opportunity to see
searchlight drills on scale never be-
fore ATTEMPTED.

TEN BURNED TO DEATH
VICTIMS OF MYSTERIOUS FIRE
AT BIRMINGHAM.
LAY BLAME TO BURGLARS
House Breakers Are Supposed to
Have Ransaeked the Premises
and Applied the Torch When
Work Was Finished.

Birmingham. Ala.-It is believed
that all of the bodies have been re-
covered from the building destroyed
by fire Thursday night on Third ave
nue.
The total dead stands at ten. with
two men so seriously injured by jump
ing that they may not recover.
The origin % the fire is still mys-
terry. although the consensus of opin-
ion seems to be that the house was
set on fire.
There were 81 boarders in the house,
almost all of whom were street rail-
way employees. In addition there
we're three other persons. Mrs. Wat
ley and her two sons. All have been
accounted for.
The dead: w. n Nichols. street
car conductor: ID. b. Neal, street car
conductor; w b. Taylor. street car
motorman; G. c. Preston, conductor;
Edward Caldwell. motorman; f. b.
Henshaw, conductor; George ID.
Burns. motorman; William T. Hall,
conductor; W. b. Livingstone. rolling
mill man; Ollie n. Hines, employee Bir-
mingham Flint Glass company.
The injured: c. Z. Hentch, street
car conductor: G. W. Troutman, mo-
torman; c. E. Keith, street railway
employe.
All the dead and injured occupied
rooms on the second story OF the
house. The flames enveloped the en-
tire building when the fire was dis
covered and il was with the greatest
difficulty that the persons on the low
er floors made their escape. They
saved nothing. Every piece of furni-
ture in the house was burned. The
fire is thought to have been Of in
cendiary origin
Burglars have been detected on the
premises twice within the last two
months and Mrs. Watley thinks the
house was burglarized and then set on
fire. Thieves were discovered at
work during the progress of the
flames and the police were called to
keep guard.
The ten charred bodies are at the
morgue. where it is impossible to tell
one from the other The names given
are those of the missing. the number
corresponding with the number OF
corpses found.

THE START.

Tomorrow. perhaps the day after,
Your folly win vanish. you say;
The wine that induces loud laughter,
The women. the song and the play.
All these shall be memories merely
To fade as the seasons advance,
And fortune. no matter how dearly
She holds Il. shall yield you your chance
Tomorrow your banner shall nutter
Where honor. bright panoplied. leads,
And men In their wonder shall utter
Fair speeches concerning your deeds;
Tomorrow the feast shall he ended,
The way shall be even and bright,
The start shall be fearless and splendid
''ll0, then, for a gorgeous tonight"
Al. vainly you promise and sadly
Your hopes and your Wanting viii end.
Your foliies may cease and you gladly
NAY call on the faics 20 attend;
But fortune Is molding successes
For them who are starting to-day,
And there a. no goddess that hlcsacs
Tho iaggard whose creed IL delay.

therefore 10 note that on the occasion
OF his second visit to America during
the past year. where his remarkable
operations attracted much attention.
he emphatically declared the danger
OF alcoholic drinks.
a banquet was given In his honor IN
New York city. and wine was served.
The eminent guest declined Il. and po-
iitely requested the waiter to bring
him a cup OF tea. This caused him TO
be asked II he were a total abstalner
from the use Of wines and other
liquors.
His answer was as follows; Il can
not say that ! am a temperance agi-
iator. but ! am a surgeon. My sue
cess depends upon my brain being
clear, my muscles firm. and my nerves
steady. No one can take alcoholic
liquors without bunting these physi-
cal powers. which must keep always
