GENERAL FUNSTON DEAD.
Beloved Army Officers Untimely Pass
 ing Mourned by Nation.

ing Mourned by Nation.
 San Antonio, Feb. 19.-Major General Frederick Funston, com mander of the southern depart ment, U. $. A., since February, 1915, died suddenly at a hotel here tonight few minutes after he had finished dinner. He col lapsed while seated in the lobby of the hotel talking with friends, and was playing with little Inez Silverberg, of DeS Moines, Iowa, a guest with her parents, at the hotel, when he fell unconscious Death was almost instantaneous. Gen. Funston was 51 years old.
 Ever since March, 1916, when he was placed in command of all United States forces on the Mex ican border, General Funston had worked at an unusual pace. At critical times in border de velopments he frequently re- mained on duty 24 hours. The handling of regulars disposed at various stations on the border, the Pershing expedition and, of late, encouragement of regular troops while providing for the return of National guardsmen, have entailed an enormous am ount of detail work probably eX- ceeding that which fell to any commanding general of the Unit ed States army since the civil war. Only today Gen. Funston completed orders for the return of the last of the guardsmep.
 Washington, Feb. 19.-Major General Funston's sudden death came as a great shock to high officials of the army and Pre- sident Wilson. He was one of the distinguished commanders of the service and one of whom greater things were expected in the future. The youngest major general of the line, vigorous and apparently healthy, he had been counted on by his superiors for many more years of active ser vice,
 Tie news reached the war de- partment late tonight in brief despatch from the headquarters of the southern department. It was telephoned to Secretary Bakers home, where a dinner was being given to the presi- dent, with most of the ranking army officers in Washington among the guests.
 General Funston's death is a country During the trouble
 1i has been difficult, exacting and delicate. His conduct has been that of soldier and he has ex emplified the high tradition of the American army by his quick. intelligent and effective action. Throughout it all the sympathy between General Funston and the department has been com plete and no shadow of disagree ment has arisen.
 1T am deeply grieved person ally at his death and feel that his loss to the country is very great
 Major General Pershing, who has been in command of the Ell Paso district since the withdraw al of the American expedition from Mexico, automatically will succeed to the duties of con- mander of the southern depart ment until an appointment has been made. Recently made a major general. he is the only officer of that rank now assigned to the department.
 As immediate successor to the command, General Pershing will have charge of the many details of the movement of the remain ing units of the national guard ordered from the border last Saturday. It is expected here that this movement, plans for which were worked out by Gen eral Funston as virtually his last military duty, will go for ward without interruption.

morning DR.. Scott, the district super
intendent, preached forceful sermon
and held the 3rd quarterly confer
ence. Sacrament of the Lords sup
per was celebrated. A special self
denial offering was gathered fer for
eign missions.
In the evening the choir rendered
number of appropriate chorus sell
ections while Miss Elizabeth Rule
| sang a beautiful sclo and Charlie and
Clarence Anger sang very fitting
duet.
Following a short sermon the pas
tor spoke of the floral cross on the
pulpit. sent by the Rev. James F.

Fishing by Telephone.

A strange way of discovering the
whereabouts of fish is practiced in
some parts or Norway, and the method
was discovered by a clever Norwegian.
A microphone, which is an instrument
that will transmit the slightest sound,
is lowered into the water from fish
ing boat and wire from the Micro
phone is attached TO a telephone fixed
in the boat. The operator takes the
receiver of the telephone and places
1t to hiss ear, ready to signal to the
fishermen when he hears the least
sound beneath the waters. and the
fishing boat is then Immediately
steered in the direction whence the
sounds come. The result is-a splen-
did haul.
AS cod, herring, and mackerel swim
in enormous shoals, their passage
through the water causes rushing
sound which is clearly heard by the
fishermen, who Immediately steer in
the required direction and let down
their nets.

FAN MEANS MUCH IN JAPAN
Every Native Carries One and Il Has
Much Significance, According
As II ls Used.

1t Is no exaggeration to say that in
Japan everybody carries fan. and
fan means great many things, ac-
cording as it is used.
There is an enormous variety Of
fans. The cheapest and most usual
forms are familiar to everyone. One
OF the most curious varieties Is the
iron war fan. This was invented in
the eleventh century for the use of
military commanders, either for direc-
tion OF their soldiers or as shield for
defence. 1t is made of leather or iron.
The water fans are made of bamboo,
and are thinly lacquered, so that they
may he dipped in water to secure extra
coolness while tanning. Another kind
is the revolving white fan. which clings
around its stick, and can be rolled up
Another strong, fiat paper fan is used
as bellows to blow the charcoal fire in
the kitchen.
The "agi" are folding fans. They
are painted with flowers and tied with
white silk. These are the court fans,
ana different flowers are appropriated
by different great families.
sometimes an innocent-looking fan
case holds dagger, while preachers
carry notes on their sermons in theirs
All the old legends are told by the ar
rangement of houses, figures and birds
painted on the faces of the fans. An
endless etiquette is involved In the use
of fans.
With the Japanese, In fact, the fan
is an emblem of life. The rivet end is
the starting point, and as the rays of
the fan expand SO the road of life
wldens out towards prosperous fu-
ture.
