riman lies buried in a grave blasted
from the rock on the side of hill, far
from the madding crowd which he
knew so well. in little patch of woods
Everything was done to keep the fu-
neral ceremonies of the great fnancier
and railroad builder as simple and un-
ostentatious as possible, since, in life he
particularly disliked anything like dis
play. His caSket was carried by those
in his employ who knew and loved him
we'll Each train that came into Arden
for "a hours before the funeral brought
quantities of beautiful flowers, most of
which Mrs. Hartman had at once dis
tributed among her neighboN. AS it
was, the little church was almost over
poweTing with the fragrance of them
while the grass outside was literally
covered with the choicest blossoms.
Gathered around on the outside, with
uncovered heads, stood several hundred
of the Hartman employees and their
families, while inside, nearer the dead
mans coffin than any of the million
aires who had come to pay their last
mark of respect, sat eight of the most
trusted family servants some of whom
had been with the family for % years
The man who had made Mr.. Harriman's
boots for many years was specially IN
Vited to the funeral. While Mr.. Harri-
mans public life is well known, that
passed in the quiet of his home and
among his friends was as much out of
the public eye as any mans could pos
sibly be. Therefore, the information
that he was a deeply religious man
comes as a surprise to many. Quiet and
practical as he was in everything else,
his religion partook of these character
istics When he first went to Arden he
found the men whom he employed neg
Igent of their religious duties, not at
tending church and their children run
ming wild on Sundays He wrote them
each a letter. pointing out the bad eX-
ample they were setting, and the dis
couragement their action gave the pas
tor and those who had provided the
church services for them. He put the
matter in the light of a duty, and not
al all as a favor to him, and his letters
had the desired effect. Mr.. Harriman's
will leaves everything to his wife, his
five children and other relatives having
been substantially provided for by him
during his life. Mrs. Hartman will,
therefore, have the burden of a great
fortune, estimated at 500, ,000,0 900, rest
Eng upon her, which will probably make
her the richest woman in the world.
Young, handsome King Manuel, of
Portugal, seems to be still on the look
out for a wife. He has been reported
to be on the brink of an engagement to
several girls of royal blood, but until
now there has been nothing doing"
IIdI Is, DIS any lHlIlS really Set-
tied. There was the pretty rumor some
time back that he and young girl
about the court, who had been his play
mate since babyhood almost, were in
love with each other, and that he had
declared with considerable evidence of
royal temper that he would not think
of marrying anyone else. But that is
probably not true, for when it comes to
marrying Kings usually put their hearts
away and do as they are told. 1t is now
rumored that Manuel is soon to visit
King Edward to arrange for his be-
trothal to one of the daughters of the
Princess Royal, Edwards oldest daugh-
ter, who is the wife of the Duke of Fife.
This royal lady has always had such
distaste for publicity, and is so timid
withal, that she is generally referred to
as Her ROYAL Shyness." These girls,
aged 16 and lS, respectively, have been
brought up very much in the back
ground, and are said to be as shy as
their mother. This is. however, in
their favor rather than otherwise, and
it would appear as if the elder was a
particularly proper match for the young
King Good luck TO his wooing.
1t does seem as if there had been
nothing but trouble since Peary was
first heard from. The Peary atmos-
phere is full of diScord. In Sydney,
where grand reception has been
planned in honor of the explorer, the
Mayor of the city and the American
Consul nearly came to blows over whose
daughter should present Peary with
bouquet of flowers. Each contended
that their particular daughter should
have the honor of handing the flowers
to the Arctic hero, and so much bad
feeling has been engendered that it is
extremely doubtful if Peary gets the
bouquet at all.
The Duchess de Chaulnes. who was
Miss Theodore Shonts, Theodore p
Shonts's daughter, is coming to her ma
tive land to spend the Winter. Of
course, she viii bring her little Dukelet
with her, and as she has not been home
since she sailed away a bride the ex-
perience is bound to be full of interest
1t will be remembered that the Duke of
Chaulnes died shortly after his mar
riage to Miss Shonts, very suddenly,
and very fortunately, some people were
wicked enough to say, for his little
Duchess. However that may be the
Duke was gathered to his fathers. and
some months after the little son and
heir was born. Of course il is very
fortunate for the Duchess that she be-
came mother. Everything has been
made much more interesting for her on
that account. Now she will come home
with her baby, and her fine clothes and
her servants, and everything will be
very grand and delightful.
Beautiful Miss Anita Stewart became
the bride of Prince Miguel of BraganZa
on the 18th inst, surrounded by Prin-
cesses. Countesses. Dukes and Duchesses
as well as plain Mrs and Mrs.'s from
this part of the water. The groom was
gorgeous bit of color in his scarlet
court dress covered with gold decora-
tions, and helped to set off the soft,
flmy dress of white chiffon of the
bride. She did not forget that she was
an American girl, and in the decoration
of Tullock Castle Old Glory occupied a
prominent part, while as the wedding
party drove away the band played The
Star Spangled Banner as well as the
Austrian national ain During the we'd
ding breakfast the pipers played their
gayest tunes on the hagpipes, and all
went as merry as such occasions are
wont TO go. 1t is needless TO say that
the Emperor Francis Joseph's little bill
let-douX arrived in good season, and
that the talk now is that the fair bride
may be a Queen yet for it has been
positively stated that the Prince was
not obliged to renounce his right to the
throne of Portugal in order to marry
her. There is no such thing as a NOR
ganatic marriage under the Portuguese
law. The consent of his family, which
the Prince had, and the adoption Of
the Roman Catholic religion by Miss
Stewart made the marriage absolutely
legal in every respect. Aside from any
