VOYAGE HELPED TILLMAN.
The Senator Now Enjoying the Fine
Climate of Spain.


There will be general interest in
the report as to the physical condi-
ton and trip of Senator Tillman,
who is now in Spain. In letter
written May 25, from Gibraltar, this
interesting statement is made:
Senator Tillman feels that there
has been a distinct gain. He has
fine appetite, sleeps well and has no
serious symptoms whatever. The
swimming in the head and feeling OF
uncertain equilibrium. have disappear
ed. Unless there is some organic
trouble he does not see why he Will
not return home in the fall as well
as man of his age ought to hope
to be.
"The voyage, he says, has been
exceptionally pleasant, with only one
rough day and one OF moderately
brisk wind. The rest of the time the
weather has been fine and the trip
ENJOYABLE. He really enjoyed doing
nothing.
THE plans for his trip on the
Continent have not been definitely
outlined. They will probably be de-
termined upon after he finds out
how he stands travelling in Spain.
After landing at Gibraltar his plans
were to take a side trip to Tangier,
in Africa and return to Gibraltar TO
visit Seville, Cordova, Toledo, Mad
rid and Granada; then to get back
to Gibraltar in time to take the next
White Star steamer, June Il, ana
90 on to Naples.

1t will be interesting to note that
none OF the party, which included
Senator Tilman, Mrs. Tlllman ana
DIR. ]. w. Babcock, were seaslck o..
the trip, and that altogether they
had a most enjoyable voyage.

RECEIVES OWN FUNERAL BILL.
Mistake in Names Causes Wife
Needless Alarm.

Philadelphia.-That Andrew Keiser
of Seventh and Diamond streets, a
member Of the staff of the Office OF
the registrar of vital statistics, is not
on the list Of dead ones" is not due
to any fault of Undertaken Henry
Schneider.
Some time ago the wife OF Mr.
Keiser received a bill for funeral eX
penses incurred in the supposed burial
of her husband. Not knowing the
meaning of the bill, Mrs. Keiser rushed
upstairs to her husbands room, where
he was peacefully sleeping, and, awak'
ening him, handed him the bill, de-
handing to know the meaning.
Keiser looked at the letter in amaze
ment, and proceeded to get in touch
with the man who had charge of his
funeral.
He called Mr.. Schneider to find out
the cause of the mistake, and, after a
great effort, he finally convinced the
undertaken that he still is alive and
happy, Notwithstanding the latter's
attempt 60 put him on the list of the
residents of the other world.
After investigating Mr.. Schneider
found that he had buried man in
Mr.. Keisers neighborhood who bore
the name of Kayser, and thus what
almost became the official loss OF a
worthy citizen was averted, to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
