mens by the house today In its con.
sideratiou of the Underwood tariff
bill.

attacks on the schedule by presenting
q blanket amendment as substitute

Representative Payne, provided rate
of l8 cents a pound on secured wool,
and comparative rates based on .

materialize in the vote on raw wool.

LOSS TO THE POOR.

"Big Tim" Sullivan, the idol Of
the New York East Side and friend
of the poor, was killed by a railroad
train August 81, after having es-
capped from those who we're guarding
him on account of a mental disorder,
and IL was by the merest accident
that the body was identified last
Friday. His funeral took place
Monday and is thus reported by the
Associated Press:
"Big Tim Sullivan passed
through the streets of the East Side
for the last time today. His body
was taken this morning to the old
Cathedral of st. Patrick, short
quarter of a mile from the rooms of
the association bearing his name,
urday afternoon. Tens of thousands
of men and women from every sec
ton of New York had gazed on his
features there and a throng such as
only the East Side can furnish fol-
lowed 1t today to the Cathedral and
to its last resting place in Calvary
cemetery, Brooklyn. A delegation
of Congressman, headed by Repre-
sentative Kinkead, of New Jersey,
led the mourners. Behind this dele
CATION marched the longest funeral
train the East Side has ever seen.
The streets through which they
passed were somber with crepe
draped on the shop windows. The
Timothy D. Sullivan Association
sent its thousands to march behind
the body of its standard-bearer, each
man with a bit of crepe on his
sleeve, over the long dusty way to
the cemetery. Dozens of other East
Side organizations and the army Of
the Bowery's poor were also in the
line. Seldom has the East Side
mourned more eloquently. In the
army that passed by his bier as the
body lay in state men in silk hats
rubbed shoulders with Bowery
tramps and women in silks and furs
mingled with their poorly clad sis
ters from the tenements. Many
wept as they passed the coffin.
Among those attending the funeral
was Senator Ollie James, of Ken
lucky. When big Tim" was
member of Congress about ten years
ago he and Senator James occupied
seats in the House side by side and
became fast personal friends. The
big Kentuckian was greatly shocked
at thesunfertunateaend- of Mr.. Sulli--
van and quickly accepted appoint
ment on the Congregational Commit
tee selected to attend the funeral.
Elected a member of the present
House last November, i'll health
prevented Congressman Sullivan
taking the oath of office.

for his subject Pope Gregory, dwell
ing at length upon his time from
1040 to 1913 and reviewing the his
tory of the Catholic church for the
past thousand years. He was heard
by a large and appreciative audience
and upon all sides his lecture was
pronounced one of the most in
structive and interesting ever deliv-
cred within Trinity's walls. Young
Martin gives much promise of be-
coming a great orator, to the great
1elight of his many Louisville
friends and relatives. He left this
week for st. Mary's, where he will

years.
Trinity received a number of ap-
