London Especially King Edward
VII. passed into history amid scenes
Of homage such as no man has ever
before received from his fellows.
His remains now rest in st. Georges
chapel at Windsor Castle, where the
bones of Edward W., Athe sixth and
eighth Henrys, Charles T.. the third
and fourth George and William Nv.
are entombed.
Death was never closed in a
panoply more sublime; dignity in
grief never received expression more
stately, more exalted. Rulers of men
never have assembled in such num-
bers to do honor to one of the great
est among them ALL and yet nothing
in the stupendous spectacle has been
SO imposing as the spectators them
selves.
Englishmen had failed to realize
that their king was almost an old
man. The first shock of his death
aroused a sentiment of keen, resent
ment against fate. The f6rtnight's
interval since his death has served
to bring into truer realization that
sense of personal love and loyalty
which during later years, has been
unanimous among his people. 1t
was this abiding universal emotion
which. gained expression today in
such a tribute as finds no parallel
in human records.
Empire In Mourning.
Throughout the British Empire
the day was observed as one Of
mourning. Business was suspended
generally and memorial services
held. Similar services were held In
all European capitals. The Emperor
and Empress. of Russia attended the
English Chu sch at st. Petersburg, as
did Premier Stolypin and the MEM
bers of the Douma; and other Euro
pean monarchs and rulers who were
not present at the funeral paid SINH
lar tributes at their homes.
1t is estimated that nearly S,000,-A
900 people saw, the funeral process
sion or tried to see it. Thirty. thou
sand troops and 5000 police kept
back the surging. struggling masses
of people, Every window and point
of vantage along the route Of the
procession were filled with spectators,
among whom were a number OF
American. Following a night of
thunderstorms the day was swelter-
ing hot and men as well as women
in the vast crowd suffered. Thous-
ands tainted or collapsed.
Many Broken Limbs.
At the mall in st. James Streeg
and at Hyde Park the throng almost
overwhelmed the procession. The
police and soldiers had to fight to
prevent the lines being swept away
by the crush. There were many
broken limbs and other injuries re-
ceived Hundreds of persons faint
ed, especially among the women who
had been standing on the pavement
for hours before the procession left
Westminster Hall.
The st. Johns Ambulance Society,
which had men posted along the
route of the procession in this city,
treated 6,014 cases, of which score
were so serious that the victims were
sent to the hospital. In most in
stances the cases were of heat pros
trations.
In addition to the ambulances of
the St. Johns Society, the military
and other ambulances dealt with a
vast number of cases of injured peo-
pie. Many of them had broken limbs
or ribs, but majority suffered from
heart strokes or Paintings. 1t is es-
timated that there were altogether

Havana. Two almost simultane-

to consist Of 5000 pounds complete

100 persons were killed and nearly
as many wounded.
Most of the dead were rural

guard, it is reported. were killed
also, as well as several employees of
the public works department and res
idents of the city, on which fell a
deluge of masonry and debris from
the blown-up building.
It is not known yet whether the
explosion was the result of an acci-
dent or was due to an act of con-
spirators, but the former hypothesis
Is considered the more probable.
Two Terrific Explosions.
The barracks was massive build
ing of Spanish construction, and oc-
cupied an eminence in the outskirts
of the city to the north. During the
late Intervention it was the head
quarters of Colonel Parker's regi-
ment, the Eleventh Calvary. Adj
jacent to the barracks was a long
row of officers quarters. Recently
the barracks was occupied by the
public works department and four
troops of rural cavalry. In conse-
quence of the alarm over race dis

all deposits of dynamite in the vicin-
ity in the possession of contractors
for road construction and other pub
lie works, to be removed to the barr
racks for safe keeping. The work of
removing the dynamite from the
barracks for shipment to the govern
ment magazines in HAVANA was be-
gun by employees of the public works
department, assisted by rural guards.
guards.
They were engaged in loading
cases of the dynamite on wagons
when terrific explosion occurred, in
stant1y followed by another, strewing
the central court in which the work
was going on with dead and wound
ed. The whole massive barracks
building was destroyed. the adjacent
row of officers quarters was demol-
ished, and the whole northern sec
ton of the city was deluged with a
torrent Of fragments Of masonry.
The explosion occurred at five
O'Clock, few minutes before the
men would have quit work and it
is generally believed that the first
resulted from the accident of fall
Of box OF dynamite, which was be-
ing lifted on wagon. It is inn
possible, however, to determine abso-
lutely the cause for the reason that
all the immediate vicinity was blown
to fragments. 1t is believed that the
majority of the wounded are resi-
dents of the town, as practically all
within the barracks were instantly
killed or buried in the ruins.
According to reports received here
the mangled remains of victims were
found in the streets. of the city a
mile from the scene of the explosion.
There is great anxiety in Havana
owing to the fact that large num-

And Big Poles Fall One Woman
Dying From Shock.
Schenectady, N. Y. Especially -.
Barnum and Bailey's big Top" the
main tent of the circus, caught fire
here from cigar stump and burned
like an overturned hot-air balloon.
Fifteen thousand people, who fili-
ed the seats to overf1owing, filed out
like school children at drill. It was
an admirable display of discipline
and GOODNESS.
Manager Bailey, in commenting
on the conduct of the crowd, said:
81 consider the attitute of the
people something marvellous. In all
my experience of circus life / have
never seen anything like it. AT least
10000 of the crowd were women
and children, and they all hled out
like veteran soldiers. Well. perhaps,
a few of the women did faint, and
perhaps few of the children whimp-
cred, but they were taken care OF by
the others; the crowd never lost its
head. There was no danger for one
moment of stampede.
The management attributes the ire
to the obstinacy of a careless smok-
er. Employees who saw him carry a
lighted cigar to his seat in the top
tier, close to the canvass walls,
warned him that he must not smoke.
Instead Of throwing the cigar away
they believe he hid it behind his
back and in so doing brushed the
burning end against the canvass. In
any event the fire started in his
neighborhood and was soon out of
control.
Spectators first smelt, the smoke
and, quickly discovering the fire, be-
gan to beat at it with their coats.
The fire soon reached above their
heads and the next effort to conquer
it came from the circus employees,
who began tearing out huge patches
of canvas. Their efforts met with
no better success, for the fire, eating
upward and 500 worked its way to
the topmost peak.
Energetic men and cool women in
the crowd, aided by employees, had
already assumed direction of the
audience, and orderly files were soon
moving steadily from the exits.
When a woman tainted or a
child shrieked in terror; shouts
of reinsurance rose and strong arms
were instantly ready for support.
Not aASoul was hurt not an ami
NAL was injured. The damage is es-
timated at $4,000.

PARIS, Feb. 16.-At last Paris
has seen Rostand's play "Chanti-
cler" staged.
No other dramatic production in
rehearsal ever received such extern
sive press notices. The world and
Paris read the notices, and won
dered what the barnyard drama
was to be all about.
The jeweled French audience that
witnessed the first production was
entranced with the beauty and
fidelity of the scenery with which
the drama has been staged. The il
fusion of the barnyard is astonish-
ing.
The high-browed French critics
went into raptures over the literary
flavor of Rostand's verse, said to
be almost perfect. Several of the
odes and songs seem already to
have high place in French liter
ature.
At the close of the first perform
ance, when the illusion, the acting
and the verse had received their
need of "Magnifiques!" ana
"Bravas!" and "Bises!" the honest
French turned to each other with
very large "Mais-"

the pursuit of his passion forgets

Humbled, he creeps back to his

monkey is in danger of being os-

and Mrs. Longworth gave in honor
of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Mrs. Lcngworth recounted some of
the intelligent doings of the little
ape, and the guests demanded to
see him.
His cage was brought to the
room, but by some mishap the door
flew open and the simian, with one
bound, landed on the center of the
table. After a preliminary canter
down the damask, the monkey
seized a distful of edibles and leap
ed to a chandelier, where he squat
ted and munched contentedly until
recaptured, making faces and grin

whereby church member can obey
the bible demand about giving one
tenth of ones income to the Lord
without disclosing to ones fellow
members the amount of ones
yearly wage, salary or dividend.
"Let members give in the usual
way-putting a dollar or so in an
envelope each Sunday, writing their
names on the outside and indicat-
ing for what purpose the money is
to be used" he says. Then let
them put in blank envelopes enough
more to make up the 10 per cent
and put this on the plate, too. In
this way they send part of their
money in the channels they want
it to go, keep the amount of their
income to themselves and prevent
their left hands from seeing what
their right hands are doing"
