crowd grew moment by moment, Into
tho square in front Of the house it -
said twenty thousand persons were
crowded. All the notable representa-
tivcs Of the musical art were present
The schools were closed. For the pres,
oryaticn of order Brouning had asked
the help Of the military. In its report
"Dcr Sammler" said:
The crowd was so great hat al
ter the roomy court OF Beethoven
residence could not longer hold u
the gates had TO be closed until the
procession moved. The cothn con-
tanning the corpse Of the great conl-
poser had been placed OH view IN the
court After the clergy were come
to perform their sacred ONCE, the
guests who had been invited to at
tend these solemn functions -mu.
Gicans, singers, poets, actors all
clad in complete mourning, with
draped torches and white roses
fastened to bands of Grape on their
sleeves, encircled the bier and the
choristers sang the "Miserere," com
posed by the deceased. Solemnly,
sublimely, the pious tones Of the
glorious composition Aoated upward
through the silent air. The scene
was imposing. The coffin, with its
richly embroidered pail; the clergy,
the distinguished men who were CIV
ing the last escort to their colleague
and the multitude round about~-all
this made a stupendous picture.
The "Miserere" sung in the court Of
the Schwsr5spanierhaus and its conf
plement. "Amplius lava me-" were ar
engagements for male chorus made by
Seyfried of two EqudlG for tromboncs
composed by Beethoven in Linz, IN
1912, at the request of Gloggl for use
on All Souls Day. On the conclusion
of the canticles the coffin was raised
from the bier and the door OF the
court was opened. The singers lifted
the coffin to their shoulders and car
RED it to the Trinity Church Of the
difficult to order the procession be-
cause Of the surging multitude. Johann
van Beethoven, Won Breuning, his son
Gerhard and SCHNEIDER found their
places with difficulty. Eight chapel
masters (conductors)-Eybler, Weigl,
Hummel, Seyfried, kreutzer, Gyrowetz,
Wurfel and Gansbacher-ca carried the
edges of the pail. At the sides walked
the torchbearers, among them Schu-
bert, CaStelli, Bernard, bohm, CIerny,
Grillparzer, Haslinger, Holz, Linke,
Mayseder, Pringer, Schuppanzigh,
Strecher, Steiner and Wolfmayer. In
the procession also were Mosel and
the pupils Of Drechsler. While pass
ing the Rothe Hsus the sound of the
funeral march from Beethoven's Piano
forte Sonata, OPP. &c, was heard. The
cortege moved through the crowded
streets to the parish church in the
Alserstrssse, where the service for the
dead was concluded with the Liberia
nos Domino" in sixteen parts, cdpelIa
composed by Seyfried, sung by the
choir.
The account in the "Sammler" con-
tinues: "The coffin was now placed
in the hearse drawn by four horses
and taken to the cemetery at Wahring.
There, too, multitude had assembled
to do the last honors to the dead
man." The rules of the cemetery pro-
hibiting all public speaking within its
precincts, the actor Anschutz delivered

BERTHoLD FARMER PLEASED.

]
Editor independent:
Anent your editorial on Farm
Credit Association" in your last issue.
Your comment as we'll as the quotation
are very appropriate at this stage of
the Interest Discussion.
| The prime objects that should guide
our plans to relieve the farmers on
the farm-loan proposition are cheap
ton. And these you emphasize very
creditably.
Nothing would aid the plan of pri-
vate companies operation more than
for the legislature to provide deputy
whose duty should be:
l. To make Of farmers desiring
longtime loans on real estate and fur
nish such list to companies, individ-
uals, ETC., having money to loan.
ey to loan and furnish such lists to
farmers desiring them.
3. To study the question carefully
and make recommendation to subse-
quent legislatures.
And allow county commissioners to
designate deputy in the county aud
itor's Office, whose duty should be to
examine collateral, make abstracts,
mortgages, ETC., at fixed price to
the farmers who desire loan.
If such provisions were in vogue
just think how easily they could find
use of that large surplus of money
that the papers report the farmers and
bankers Of Kansas are going to have
soon!
Every dollar of interest paid out of
the state, saved to our farmers, is al
dollar more to be spent with our mer-
chants, to improve his own farm, and
to deposit in the banks, thus helping
every line of business.
Another Private Plan.
Let the loan agent organize a par
ticipating cooperative plan. Non
assessable. Charge per cent commits
sion on all loans. And return, pro-
portionately, all the commission over
say $1,000 per annum, to the farmers
who took the loans. Example: Sup
pose 120 farmers took loan of ST.
900 each for years. The amount of
the commissions would be $4,800 This
would leave $4,000 to be paid back to
the farmers who took the loans. At an
annual meeting Of the borrowing MEM
bers, the agent would explain, like
phone of fre-insurance companies, all
the details and make each member a
present of $50. AS the amount re-
turned would increase in proportion
to the number of loans, the inducement
would prompt each member to solicit
others to join.
In hopes that you will continue to
emphasize this question which is very
highly appreciated by large reading
public who believe that the editors
should show more interest in this
question than they have, am, very
truly,
Your encouraged friend,
GEO. T. MURRAY.

Housewife Endorses Prof. Ladd.

". DduIiy, ~. ~, aug. ~, 1S44.
Editor Independent:
There was an article in last weeks
issue of your paper stating that there
was move on foot to effect the re-
moval of Prof. Ladd and Hon. Mr..
Worst. AS to the latter am not pre-
pared to comment on his ability, but
l imagine I am voicing the sentiment
of every North Dakota housewife who
appreciates the boon of the purity of
our foods, for boon it is to serve
our canned goods to our families with
the confidence of safety. There is no
such thing as being too stringent in
enforcing purity and think any one
must admit that North Dakota is SUI
perior to any other state in having at
tanned, through Mr.. Ladd, standard,
the aim of which is perfection.
l sincerely hope the parties or COM
panies who are objecting to Mr.. Ladd
to the extent of trying to remove him,
for the reason of his strenuous en-
forcement of that law against adulter-
alton, may fail.
Respectfully,
rs "A North Dakota Housewife.

her to burst in and slap the woman's

when one first talked of the stately,
perfectly gowned society leader Of the
Long Island town that she could blaze
up into such fury as to impeI her to
shoot defenseless woman in the back.
Latterly, though-after her arrest and
indictment-she developed another side.
She voiced openly her hatred Of every
one and everything that had to do with
the accusation against her-the Off
Gals. the grand jury. the newspapers,
the detectives.
Her trial. scheduled for September or
October before Justice Keby in the
Mineola courthouse. undoubtedly will
be the most celebrated ever held on
Long Island. The verdict Of the twelve
Nassau county citizens who will sit on
the jury will be awaited with the great
est interest by the whole country, for
no murder case since that of Stanford
White or that Of Rosenthal has arous.
ed more widespread interest.

District Attorney Smith himself, who
knew more about the details Of the
case than any one else and who will
conduct the prosecution. admitted with
an air of dependency that he thought
about the same way
