Funeral Of Cardinal Richard.

Paris, Feb. l.-Sach a gathering OF
notables os perhaps never assembled In
Paris before attended the fuseral services
of the late Cardinal Richard in Notre
Dame Cathedral today,
Despite the rupture between the
French church and state the leading
members of the national assembly, the
council of State and the msgistrscy,
both Catholic and Protestant, were in
attendance, In the funeral cortege were
hity bishops and srchbishops, among
them the English Archbishop of West
minister together with hundreds of the
lesser clergy. -.
The cathedral was not only packed,
but the streets surrounding and leading
to the edifce were Amos! impossible
from the crowds. Thousands marched
Ia the procession.
IN accordance with The late cardinals
expressed wish the hearse vas Of the
fifth class, the casket q plain oze ard

pificence of the service and of the turn

which was the most conspicuous.

A CLOUD OF WASHINGTON
HEIRS,

Some of the Representatives 10 Con-
gress are becoming convinced that for
childless msn, General Washington
has more heirs than any man who mas
ever lived. Since the introduction by
Senator Martin and Representative Flood
of the bill providing for the sppropria-
ton OF 1905, 900 for the reimbursement
of the Washington heirs, for lands 10
Ohio patented to General Washington
By Virgins, and then wrougfully paten-
ted to homestesders by the federal gov
eminent after the North@est territory
was cedad 10 the United States by Vir-
ginia, heirs from all sections of the
Union have been heard from.
Texas hiss furnished large number.
Judge Washington, of Speaker Osnnon's
district, has come on to Washington
to do what be can in behalf Of the bill.
Judge Washington is said to have more
of the Washington blood 10 his veins
than almost any other man. OF course,
The fact that he comes from Uncle Joe's
district will not embsrrass the passage
Of the bill. The measure on the House
side, is pending in the com mitlee on
public lands, but il will probably be
transferred TO the committee on claims.

Judge William F. Rhea, Of Bristol,
was witness in bis own defense yesteE-
day before the joint legislative commit
tee on combinations Ia the hearing Of
the charges brought by Senator Noel,
of Lee county, against Rhea's appoint
ment to the corporation commission.
Judge Rhea gave detailed account
OF his actions in every case in which the
several charges have been msde, deny
ing improper motives in each instance.
In regard to charges which appeared
in a Bristol newspaper concerning bis
dismissal of the alleged murderer, Jor-
dan, Judge Rhea ssid that the ecitor of
that paper was one of his bitterest
enemies, and that they had frequently
hsd disputes on various political ques-
tons.

chIIians 70 welcome Eleet

Punts, Arenas, Feb. 1.-The Chilean
government tender Csnez and several
private steamships thronged with ex-
cursionis,s have put out to meet and
welcome the American bsttleship feet
off Msgdalena Island. Their return, es.
corting the United States squadron, is
expected this afternoon.
Tbs feet weighed anchor and sailed
early today from Possession Bay, ~
miles west of the point wbere the strait
proper begins, Admiral Evans having
evidently deemed the navigation of The
first aud second nsrrows between Pcs
session Bay and Punts Arenas hazsfd-
Gus.
The two Japanese who landed here
from British ship thirly-six hours sgO
are now almost certainly known to be
naval officers. There seems little doubt
they are here, however, merely for 10
formation concerning the manner in
which the warships withstood the strain
OF the cruise.
No one believes that they have any
hostile intention. They are not attempt
ing to move secretly and 1t is deemed
possible that they may egea formally in-
troduce themselves to Admiral Evans.

THE night school recently organized
in this city for the benefit of youths who
have no time to study during the day
was closed last night for the want Of
patronage. Over a dozsn pupils were
enrolled at first, but the number gradu-
sllv decreased until recently but three
appeared. Colonel I. Fl. Ficklin, who
taught the school, and who manifested
great interest in it, naturally became
discouraged at the lack of appreciation
of the institution, as did certain members
of the City Council who had fostered it.
There was but one thing do, and that
was TO close the school, though this has
been done reluctantly. This is SD
commentary upon many youths in this
civ who ssem to be more interested in
moving pictures and ,Oller-skating than
in acquiring an educatior-sn essential
to success in this day. There is an OBJ
serystion In the old "Euglish Reader
