STILL LIVE FOR US
Funeral March for Heroic
Dead Has Meaning Be-
yond Mere Honor to
the Fallen.

r. VERY year. in tho full tide OF
II. spring. at the height OF the sym
- phony OF flowers and love and
life. there comes a solemn pause, and
through the silence the nation hears
tho lonely pipe Of death.
Year after year lovers wandering
under the apple boughs and through
tho clover are surprised with sudden
tears as they see black.voiled figures
stealing through the morning to sol.
dicr's grave.
Year by year the comrades OF the
dead follow, with public honor, pro-
eesslon and commemorative flags and
funeral march-trlbute from ms who
have Inherited a nations glory TO the
heroes who gave H.
IA surely az this day comes round
We are In the presence Of the dead.
But not all the associations Of this
day are sad: some OF them arc tri-

We seem 10 hear the funeral march

not death-of life to which In their

 GENERAL LEE Speaks as a Yankee
 at Lexington. SAYS DECISION WAS RIGHT Massachusetts Man Deplores Re-

 states--AffIictiOn Of

Lexington, Va, Jan. 19.--The Tooth anniversary of the natal day of the South's great chieftain, Robert E. Lee, was observed by appropriate exercises today at Washington and Lee Unl- versity, which bears his name over which he was so long the guiding gen. ius, and where he now lies buried.
 The principal exercises were held in Lee memorial chapel. where an address on his life was delivered by Charles Francis Adams of Massachusetts. The exercises were opened with the singing of a favorite hymn of General Lee by the University student choir. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. G. B. Strickler of Richmond, rector of the University. pr. George D. Denny introduced the distinguished speaker of the occasion, and in concluding his remarks. con- ferred upon MT. Adams. in the name of the University, the degree of LL D.
 The sneaker was received with great annIause. and, for over an hour, held his audience's closest attention. Mir. Adans at the start, captured the great audience when he said, "I would have done as Lee did; though 1t may be deemed traltorous to say so
 MT. Adams said in part;
 "EJere to commemorate the centen- nIa1 of the birth of Lee. I do not pro- nose to enter into any eulogism of the man. to recount the well known events of his career. or to estimate the final nlace to be assigned him among great military characters. All this has been sufficiently done by others far better qualified for the task. Eschewing su- nerlatives. also, shall institute no romnarisons. One of community which then looked upon Lee as a rene gade from the flag he had sworn to serve, and traitor to the Nation which had nurtured him, in my subor- dinate place I directly confronted Lee Throughout the larger portion of the War of Secession. During all those wears there was not a day in which my heart would not have been gladdened had heard that his also had been the fate which at Chancellorsville befell his great lieutenant; and yet more glad had 1t been the fortune of the command in which I served to visit that tate upon him.

Good Government Wins.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-At
O'Clock this morning a totaling of
the partial returns indicates the cleo
ton of almost the entire Good Gov
eminent city and county ticket, in
Guiding Mayor Taylor, district attor-
ney, board of supervisors, treasurer,
assessor, tax collector, recorder, city
attorney, public administrator, sher
if, coroner and two police judges.
The Union Labor party may have
saved its incumbents in the offices of
auditor and clerk.
On basis of 10 per cent count
of the votes in 249 or the 273 pre-
cincts, with the Mission district
largely to be heard from, Mayor
Taylor's plurality over the Union
Labor candidate, P. H. McCarty,
should approximate 5000 !, District
Attorney Langdon's plurality over
MCGOWAN, the Union Labor candi-
date, is $4,000, with Ryan, the re-
publican, running poor third in the
mayorality race.
It is not likely that the full count
of all the precincts which may moi
oe completed before a late hour to.
day, will materially change the ap.
parent results.

Farmers will be paid by check against
deposits by check in the country
banks. 1t is believed that but little
explanation will be required to per-
suade the sellers of grain to accept
Ehis arrangement, Notices of this
change of method have alerady been
sent out.
Country banks are responding
splendidly to the demands of the sit
uation. The Becker county banks
have formed a county clearing house
association pledging their joint assets
for the checks or obligations of any
single bank included in the member
ship. In st. Croix county, Wisconsin,
the banks have taken similar action.
Other counties are rapidly following.
Fargo, N. D., banks have taken sim
liar action, perceptibly steadying the
situation.
Local depositors are receiving not
to exceed 500 in currency on their
checks and are handling the majority
of their business and personal trans
actions by check. The radical action
of the banks has brought no i'll eff
, fects whatever and business men and
depositors have uniformly accepted
the situation with> good grace.
1t Is believed that the present sit
uation will not last long, thus eIimin-
ating danger to country collections,
which might ensue should it continue
for a period of 80 days or more.

COUNTESS OF WARWICK.

Famous English Society Leader and
Socialist, Who Is Now In America.
The Countess of Warwick, who ar.
rived in America a short time ago,
does not court publicity during her
visit, but the facts pertaining to her
career make 1t natural the people OF
this country should be interested in
her. To begin WITH the circumstance
that she is a Socialist is enough to
mark, her out as an individual of I'M
usual character. Nor is she crank or
anarchist by any means in appearance.
Her beauty was the talk of England
when she was younger, and she retains
her good looks still to a remarkable
degree. She was at one time in high
favor with the king, then Prince of
Wales, and was considered one OF, the
cleverest women In society. But the
