COL. ASTOR LAID TO REST
IN VERY QUIET MANNER

New York, May 4.-The body of
Col. John Jacob Aston. who was
drowned in the Titanic disaster,
was laid to rest to-day with simple
ceremonies in the Trinity Cemete-
ry. 1t was brought here on a spe-
cial train from Hhinecliff-On-The-
Hudson, where funeral services
we're held at noon in the little stone
Episcopal Church of the Messiah,
of which Col. Aston was for sixteen
years a warden.
These services, also of the simp-
lest kind, were conducted by the
Rev. Ernest C. Saunders. pastor Of
the church, and the Rev. William
T. Manning, rector of Trinity
Church here, and were attended by
relatives and friends of Col. Aston,
residents of Rhinecliff, together
with employees of Col. Aston at
Rhinecliff and at Newport, about
one hundred in all.
Mrs. Ava Willing Astor, the Col
onel's former wife, did not attend
the ceremonies, but sent wreath.

the hands of these blood-suckers, and
they have all the money they can
use. They have no candidate; they
don't want any. What they want
is, by combining the strength of all
the other candidates against the
strongest, no difference to them
who he may be, to defeat him and,
with him the will of the people,
and, being in control, send an unin-
structed delegation to Baltimore,
where 1t may be traded like so many
cattle. Less than a half dozen po-
litical vampires hope thus to over
ride and defeat the judgment and
will of the party and prostitute
them to their own selfish purpose.
You see the critical situation
and that, too, when everything had
looked so promising and inviting.
Now it is up to you to scourge these
political mountebanks and gamb-
lers from your temple, and put
mark upon them that will neither
wash, rub or peel off," | believe
you will not suffer this shame put
upon your party. Even now, in my
mind, see Democracy, like lion
after sleep, rouslng and stretching
and shaking his invincible locks. ="

it is not his purpose to try to de-
liver Kentucky to Harmon, and not
seek to hide behind the mere denial
of the statement that he was in
Washington?
lone of two things is certain
Harmon headquarters have DELHI
erately lied about Haly, or they had
information from Haly which they
published. 1t is inconceivable to
me that the Harmon headquarters
would be guilty of having men in
control of it, who, advocating the
candidacy of a gentleman for the
highest office within the gift of the
people, would deliberately lie about
Mr.. Haly and Mr.. Mayo.
Hays statement that he be-
lieves | had part in the frame-up, is
such a contemplate falsehood as
not to deserve notice. believed
the Harmon headquarters had au-
thority for their statement, and |
believe it yet, and is not such
contradiction of the former Haly i'm
political activities in Kentucky as
to make me disbelieve its truth. for
| remember that our Republican
friends published p letter that this
same Haly had written and used it
upon us in the campaign, much TO
our hurt and detriment, wherein he
said that he and his crowd played
prohibition in the country and whis-
key in the cities.
"Haly last year tried to deny TO
the -feemouracy OF -Kentucky the
right to select their United states
Senators. He is now trying to deny
TO the Democracy of Kentucky the
right to say for whom they stand
for President. He wanted to leave
the Senatorial election in the Leg
islative Assembly. where he
thought the interests. whose agent
he is, would be more powerful than
the people; and so, for the same
reason he is undertaking to leave
Kentucky's vote in the hands Of
few men, rather than to allow the
whole Democracy Of the State
to speak. He was opposed to the
rule of the people last year be-
cause his bosses were, and he is OPP
posed to it this year because his
bosses are, for he is on their pay
roll.

When the president of the United
States goes on board any other ship,
his Gag 10 carried at the main, and
the ensign nies from the staff astern
when In port and from the gaff when
at sea-
When the president visits ship OF
the United States navy his flag Is
raised at the main at the moment he
reaches the deck and kept flying as
long as he Is on board His flag Is
dramatically lowered simultaneously
with the booming OF the last gun or
the salute. To receive him, the en-
tire corps Of officers in special full
dress assemble on the side Of the
quarter deck at which he enters. He
Is received at the gangway by the nag
oficer and captain, accompanied by
such other officers as may be desig-
mated. The yards or rail are manned;
the marines paraded; and such of the
crew as are not otherwise employed
are formed in order forward OF the
marines. As the chief executive
reaches the deck. the officers and men
salute, the marine guard presents
arms: the drums give four ruffies and
the bugles sound four fiourishes. The
ruffies and fourishes are followed by
the national air during the playing OF
which the president and all on board
stand In impressive silence with I'M
covered heads Every United States

rival or departure of the present,

the Effect of Delaying Work
on the Road.

public by George A, Gowaa, president

To the Citizens of Tennessee:
after all, the proposed highway from
Bristol to Memphis is being built in
many of the counties where a new road
had to be constructed. East Of Nashville

this year. possibly with the exception
of two counties. West of Nashville
there is some work being done, but the
citizens along the route selected have
not come up to the promises that were
made to secure the official route. The
continuous quiet, hard work that some
men have done to push the good roads
movement to the front all over the state
is having its effect. So far as the writer
is concerned, he is satisfied. While we
could have done more with the co-opera-
ton of all, yet we are getting good re-
suits in many places
eff the Legislature of the state would
have provided for an official state sur
vey. as requested, much of the highway
would have now been completed Thou
sands of men would have put in two to
five days work on the road, as promised,
which would have done whole lot to.

"The majority Of the buttons (65 per

were brought to town. The crop Of this
hay is said to be fine this year and the
prospect now is that large quantity
Of it will be harvested. The presenr
high price will be an inducement to
farmers to cut every available ton. I'm
til last year this hay could be bought
here ON the streets at harvest time at
prices ranging about IS per ton, and
later when thoroughly dried and baled
much of it was sold at IS, but recently
it has been selling here at prices up to
SIS and $40.
