GEN. WHEELER PASSES AWAY
CONFEDERATE LEADER
AND VETERAN OF TWO
WARS IS DEAD.

New York, Jan. 27.-Gen. Joseph
Wheeler, the famous Confederate cav
airy leader and a %brigadier general
of the United States army since the
war with Spain, died at $3.50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon at the home OF
his sister, Mrs. Stirling Smith. in
Brooklyn. The veteran of two wars
was sixty-nine years of age, but in
spite of his G there was hope until
Wednesday of his recovery from the
attack of pneumonia which caused
his death. 1t has not yet been de-
cided where the body will be inferred,
but probably it will be in Arlington
National cemetery nea Washington.
Age Told Against Him.
Gen. Wheeler was taken ill six days
ago at his sisters home, where he
has been living recently. He con-
tracted a severe cold which developed
into pleurisy and pneumonia. From
the first his age told against him, but
the family did not give up hope until
Wednesday night, when the disease
was found to have affected both
lungs. Gen. Wheeler's immediate
relatives were all with him.
New York, Jan. 30.-An imposing
military pageant passing across
Brooklyn bridge, brief services at st.
Thomas Episcopal church in Fifth
avenue, and an escort across the
North river ferry to Jersey City,
where the body was placed on a train
to be taken to Washington for inter
ment in the national cemetery at Ar
lington, marked the funeral in this
city yesterday of Brig. Gen. Joseph
Wheeler, cavalry leader of the Confed-
eracy and later one of the most prom
inent figures among the generals of
the Spanish-American war. The body
of the dead leader was wrapped in the
flags under which he had served with
almost equal valor and distinction
the Stars and Bars of the Confederate
States and the Stars and Stripes,
Following the church services the
body was escorted to Jersey City,
where it was placed on board a train
of the Pennsylvania railroad, which
left for Washington shortly after 4
O'clock. After services there to-day
the interment will be made in Airing
ton, the military honors being paid at
the grave.

OUR LETTER COX,
Say CabIeerams Are Fakes.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 16.-To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: Sir-I beg to warn your
readers not to give any credence TO recent
telegrsphic dispatches purporting to come
from Rome in which the name of the
Right Reverend the Bishop of Lincoln and
the names of two other bishops are men
toned. Those cablegrams are bogus. They
do not contain a scintilla Of truth, and
they originated not in Rome, but here in
the United States. In order to give a
semblance OF truth to the hoax and to
make the public believe that 1t was not
the same old falkirs at their same old tricks
they introduced the names of two other
bishops who are held in the highest es-
TEEN in Rome and throughout this coun-
try.
Permit me to repeat here what has been
said time and again, that, as far as the
church is concerned, the Murphy case Is
closed, never to be reopened. The SUI
preme authority in the church vested the
right reverend bishop with special and
plenary powers to deal with the insurgent
priest. He exercised those powers and the
case is finished. 1t remains to be seen
whether the courts of Nebraska will pro-
tect the Catholic church in its property
rights. Thus far they have failed to do
so. and at Seward the strange spectacle
is presented of five or six schismatic FAM
lilies. headed by schismatic and excom-
municated priest, holding the church build
ing and forcing the congregation proper 10
worship in public hall.
But you ask why are those fake cable
grams sent out? I will answer and say
that they are sent out for a twofold pur-
pose. First to influence the action Of the
civil courts in the Murphy case; and sec
ondly, to keep the misguided followers Of
the schismatic priest from falling away
from him. You may not have observed
that at the various times when the Sew
ard county district court and the state
supreme court were to pass upon the
Murphy case the fake eablegrams made
their appearance in the newspapers; and
now that Judge Evans is about TO pro-
nounoe upon a certain phase of the case
the same ruse is resorted to. In their
folly they imagine they can influence the
judges of our courts by such artifces.
Again. it is beginning TO dawn upon the
supplemented and deluded followers OF
the schismatic priest that perhaps, after
all they are being humbugged, and in such
emergency recourse is had to the bogus
cablegrams. They are copied into the
county papers of Seward and Butler coun-
ties, and the farmers in their simplicity
seeing them in print give credenee TO them
because. as they reason. being in the news
papers the dispatches must, of course. be
true l am, sir. your faithful servant.

The above program of the concert given
under direction Of Mrs. A. B. Hunt for the
beneft Of Unity church at the First
Congregational church last evening looks
interesting, even in cold type, but to have
enjoyed its many sidedness one must have
been in the audience A careful survey of
the audience revealed the presence OF n
number of the professional musical peo-
pie and generally speaking, the gathering
was representative of Omaha's profess
sional and music loving coterie. This in
itself speaks well for the character Of the
entertainment.
Mr.. Penniman, who opened the program,
was fortunate in having the first number
and his work seemed very pleasing to a
number of his friends who were present
Mrs. scannell's singing is always enjoy
able. She has a charming personality and
her girlsh voice and the individuality of
her manner OF singing, always puts her
in touch with her audience at the outset,
which is certainly a comfortable feeling
for both singer and hearer.
The two first numbers rendered by Mr..
Calm were given with his inimltable style
and technique and It is understood, without
the telling, that he had to respond to an
encore. Mr.. Calm is so businesslike, so
free from mannerisms and so musicanly
that he has endeared himself and his work
to all Omaha music lovers and nothing
can be said of him that is not common
datory.
Mr.. Stewart has beautiful natural voice
and his work would be enjoyed very much
{ he
gestures and motions while he is singing.
These efforts to portray the meaning Of a
song by the aid of gestures and upturned
eyes. do not belong to the concert stage.
His singing, however, appeared to be we'll
received notwithstanding the motions"
Mrs. Welpton was In excellent voice and
her work was of a high order of artistic
singing. Coupled with a charming and
magnetic personality, which is almost
necessity for a successful singer she pos
sesses q beautiful contralto voice, rich,
full and resonant and either tender or dra-
matte as the song requires. Her diction
is excellent and she inspires her audience
at once with a feeling of confidence and
restfulness. The final outcome warrants
the feelings so inspired. Mrs. welpton
very graciously responded to encores in
both of her series OF songs
Miss Allen was unable to appear. Mr.
Barker's playing was a revelation. The
writer had never heard him and It was
evident from the interest displayed by the
audience that his work was especially pleas
ing. He should be heard more often in
concert work.
Miss Corinne Paulson. the accompanist,
had strenuous evening and she certainly
did splendid work and is entitled to share
the honors with the other artists.

A Few Facts that Should BE I[nOwm
OMAHA, March 19.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: Occasionally there appears In
the daily papers articles referring 20 the
advance Of building material. especially
lumber These references would be all
right II they were understood by the peo-
pie who contemplate building, but they -
Just far enough to be misleading People
generally think that an advance of s. or s.
per thousand on lumber makes great dif
ference in the cost and are scared out
But the fact is, an ordinary six or eight
room house can be built with from 500
TO 1000 feet of lumber; the additional cost
at a 81 advance would not amount TO more
than 500 or S25. and, think the public
ought to know It. These facts can be
verified by asking any of the leading lum-
Der men OF the city.
