TWO FUNERALS.

Did you read the lOug description OF
the funeral OF Edward VII?
The Obsequies were perhaps the
most imposing Of modern times. and
the cortege that left Westminster and
followed the kings remains TO rest in
st. Georges chapel at Windsor was the
most gorgeous ever seen.
AS read thought of how we buried
the king OF our village forty years ago.
II was IN the era before machine
made goods had found their way 10 us

made the mems clothes. the shoe
maker the boots. the wagon maker the
wagons. the cabinetmaker the furni-

strikiugly kingly in mien. tall. hand
some and liOn-llke in strength. Once
be put TO 1ight the army Of the aliens,
literally throwing an entire gang Of
peace disturbers out of the church.
No man OF the neighbOrhood dared
face him in his righteous indignation,
Yet be had a woman's heart.
by right of royal diguity and prerog'
ative he became the peacemaker OF the
community.
England was no more deeply stricken
by the death Of her king than we by
ours.
The funeral? It was to the village
church that we first took his remains
the church where every Sunday he
marshaled his big family that filed q
pew. | remember the poignant sorrow
o. that people. The minister could
scarce say bis sermon because his
throat would tighten. and he would
look at us-every one in tears-througf
the telescope Of his own tears.
The grave had been dug by neigh
bors. the pile Of clay indicating it'
location. To the sobbing of sincere
mourners. above which could be heard
the broken voice Of the minister
"Ashes 10 ashes. dust to dust"-th'
body OF the man who was every incl

by ropes
Nor did we desert the grave nj thii
Jnncture. as is the custom OF today
We remained while the neighbors tool
turn about nlllnR the grave and Eentl,
patting the mound into shnpeliness.
And thus we buried our king fort

BIG VOTE AT
THE PRIMARIES
CcontInued from Firs. Pase1f

Colonel George w. Sparks, called him
up and congratulated him. This was
one Of the greatest contests for the
Legislature, and friends OF Mr.. Sparks
and Mr.. Miller worked like beavers to
get out the vote.
The contest between Harry l. Gillis
and Colonel A. l.. AinscOw for the
legislative nomination in the Second
district resulted in an overwhelming
victory for Gillis. The Ninth ward
alone gave him GAO majority.
The victory OF James T. Chandler
for the nomination for coroner was
one Of the most interesting of the
campaign. He had his own organiza-
ton of personal friends all through
the county and won out with many
politicians working for other candi-
dates.
Among the Republicans generally
the ticket named on Saturday is re-
garded as strong and one that will
appeal to the voters generally on cleo
tion day. While there were dis
appointments, the defeated candidates
have accepted the result philosophic-
ally and the only discordant note
comes from the Second Representa-
tive district. While Colonel Ainscow
was defeated by S54 majority, he is
greatly dissatisfied and alleges that
there was fraud and that "the whole
thing was cut and dried weeks ahead"
James Logue, the nominee for
sheriff, is well known Republican Of
! the Ninth ward and a contractor en-
gagged in building and grading work.
| He served as a member of the Levy
| Court with an excellent record and
! II is expected that he will prove a
big vote-getter on election day, be-
cause of his extensive acquaintance.
Francis M. Walker, who was nomi-
mated for register Of Wills. is a law
| yer and the present incumbent, and
has made a very capable official. This
had a great deal to do with his VIC
tory. He was opposed by Isaac r.
Brown, who made a good run. Mr.
Walker lives I'm Mill Creek hundred
A. V. Lesley George, who led the
ticket with a majority of 1886 over
all his opponents for recorder OF
deeds. Is the present deputy recorder
of deeds, made a very capable official

popularity is attested by his big ma
iority.
James T. Chandler, who was nomi-
mated for coroner. isja we'll known

coroner He is active in many So
cret societies and has large follow

is we'll fitted for the office and has a

Joseph c. Jolls. the nominee for
