GENERAL LANE IS
 BURIED WITH HONOR
ALL EXERCISES AT THE POLY
 TECHNIC INSTITUTE ARE SUS- PENDED FOR THE DAY-A WEALTH OF FLORAL TRIBUTES.
" D

Auburn September -(Specal.)-The interment of General James II. Lane were of dignity and impressiveness in keeping with his distinguished services as a general in the Confederate army and as professor of civil engineering for twen- ty-five years in the Alabama Polytechnic institute. In his honor all exercises of the college were suspended throughout the day. At the chapel exercises this morning President C. c. Thach sketched his life for the student body and paid tribute to his ardent patriotism, high sense of honor, and his distinguished reer. There was wealth of floral trib utes of well nigh indescribable beauty presnted as tokens of esteem from the faculty all college classes, the various fratenites, the civil engineering course, etc.
 The funeral took place from the Episco pal church, the solemn services being conducted by the Rev. T. J. Beard. peculiar note of interest was given to the ceremony by the fact that this church edifice had ben erected largely through the efforts of Mrs. Goolrick Gen eral Lanes sister who died several years ago. At 3:30 o'clock the student body formed in battalion formation, headed by a special company of fifty cadets, under command of Capt s. A. Ellesberry of Montgomery, which acted as the immed- fate military escort. and the line of march was taken up from the college to the residence. The faculty and a detachment of Confederate veterans, about sixty in all, acted aA honorary pallbearers.
 The active palbearefs were as follows: G. N. Kitchen, c. L. Hare, A. McB. Ran sob w. w. Hill, s. L. Toomer. T. Bragg, B. l.. Shi and c. Certain. It was certainly a most ispring sight, this vast body of five hundred and sixty southern young men marching in military line to do honor to this distinguished soldier, who forty-fve years ago led their fathers in the great conflict that gave them honor and renown The procession moved to the sound of the muffed drum whose subdued notes were broken from time to time by the deep tolling of the college bell. At the conclusion of the burial services at the grave, the ceremony over the distinguished soldier was concluded by the sounding of taps with the bugle by member of the college band.

The Roman emperors gloried in the name of Caesar which they inherited from Sextus, ancestor of the great Julius Caesar. The name Is preserved in the titles of the emperors of Germany and Russia. In English 1t has been spelled always as in the Latin-Caesar. One of the most most prominent cotton manu- facturers of the United States has the same name, pronounced in the usual Eng fish fashion, but he spells is c-e-a-s-a-r. Ceasar Cone of Greensboro, N. O., and his elder brother, Moses H. Cone, are the grandsons of a poor Jewish immi- grant. His name was Caesar but he had been deprived of the blessings of early education and when he mastered the art of writing he spelled his name incor- rectly. In honor of, that man, the founder of the family in the United States, his millionaire grandson spells his name after the fashion of the Cones and not of the Romans.
 Moses H. and Ceasar Cone were born in Jonesboro, Tenn, where their father made his home.
