THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. ACAPITAL IN MOURNING CZAR ALEXANDER III BURIED IN THE FORTRESS CATHEDRAL. Imposing Religious Ceremonies in the Presence of Kings and Princes—The Body Placed in the Crypt. While the bells tolled and the minute-guns boomed thelr requiem, priests chanted the sonor- ous Greek turgy over the body of Czar Alexantler Til im the “Fortress Cathedral,” St. Petersburg. ‘On a black covered dais, three steps above the floor of the nave, the coflin was placed. Candela- bra blazing about it did little to relieve the gloom fm the great chureh. Over the eatafalque was spread a black canopy lined with ermine, supported by four great pillars ‘The magenta velvet covering the steps of the dais was strewn with golden eagles, and cunningly wrought wreaths of silver glittered about the cata- falque. The czar's body wore a simple uniform. ‘The waxy hands Were ¢rossed below a sacred image of St. Alexander Newski. The new czar, Nicholas II, , bis mother, his afflanced, Princess Alix of Hesse- Darmstadt; members of the imperial family and high officials of the empire advanced in turn and reverently kissed the image. After the chanting had died away the casket was lowered into the erypt, and the opening in the floor was closed by a stone weighing 6,000 pounds. ‘The whole city was in mourning. At intervals on the Nevskl Prospect forty-foot pillars bore somber urns in which Incense burned. Long ago the court doctors gave up the attempt to bide the nature of the csar's iliness. His maj- esty was attacked by Bright's disease of the kid- Reys two years ago, and be received fair warning that bis pale, drawn face, paius in the back, faint spells and drowsiness, general weakness and puff- ing under the eyes meant one thing. He would not Usten to advice, and he is dead long before old age could have toached him, Bright's disease was a dreadful agent of death Joug before tt was known by that name. It was believed to be incurable, and with reason, until a great remedy was put forth to combat it. Those who suffer from the malady are sometimes reluc- tant to believe that anything can cure them. ‘There is one skeptic less evety time Warner's Safe Cure has a chance to show what it can do. ‘The assertion that this medicine can and does re- pair the ravages of advaneed kidney disease 1s made without any “ifs and “buts.” Nature gives you fair warning when your. kidneys are be- low par. Do not reject her admonition, as the late czar did. Consent to be sick and you wilt soon be well if you use Warner's Safe Cure. ‘The warmest words of praise for this remedy come from physictsas whose hostility to proprietary medicines iu general is notorious, ‘They know how Warner's Safe Cure acts upon the urinary organs, so that relief is immediate and cure certain. ‘They have felt its power in their own: persous. A departure from perfect health without positive symptoms of organic disease is often erroncously Attributed to cold or. overwork, when, In fact, the kidueys are affected. ‘Then Is the time to take Warner's Safe Cure, for although it conquers the worst cases, of course it makes much shorter work of the trouble if no time 14 lost. Bright's disease kills men in middle life. War- ner’s Safe Cure preserves men for a ripe old age. November Clearance List 1894. Second-Hand and Shop- worn Wheels.

Reed was driving out Washington street his horse fell near the corner of Princess and broke its leg, Later the anima! was shot. Miss Lillie Smith, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Robert F. Knox, has re- turned to Philadelphia, Mr. Lee Moser of the ‘Theological Semi- nary heid services in the Meade Chapel on Columbus street yesterday afternoon. Mr. Walter Db.

A new train, known as the New York and Florida short line, was, put on the Southern railway yesterday for the first time. J. Stanley Neale of the Alexandria Times on Saturday evening celebrated his fiftieth birthday by entertaining a num- ber of his friends at his heme.on.Payne street. ‘The trolley wire for the electric railway on King street between Columbus and Payne has been strung, and as soon-as the iron and ties have been gotten in position the work on the roadway wili be begun Cars were run on the Driving Park exten- sion of the road for the first time yester- day. ‘The road to the Driving Park is of necessity rough, as the management have rot had time to ballast it. Dr. Samuel Staples and Walter R. Sta- ples of Hoanoke are the guests of J. F, Cox. Mayor Strauss says he will not allow any more boxing matches or sparring for points in this city while he is mayor. The police raided a house on Fayette street between Queen and Princess streets on Saturday right and captured Daniel Simms, Lorenzo Hall, Henry Johnson, Sal- ly and Martha Fox, all of whom are col- ered. The articles found in the house were a pack of playing cards, a large bunch of keys and a pair of brass knuckles. Millard Faulkner, a brakeman on the Southern railway, who recently moved to this city, was quite badly hurt by falling from a freight train at Manassas on Sat- urday night. While passing from one car to another his foot caught in a guard rail and he slipped and fell to the track be- tween the cars. The wheels of the car passed over his heel and the..fleshy part of his leg. He was attended to by Dr. Iden at Manassas, and later brought to this city, where Dr. M. W. O’Brien, the company’s surgeon, looked after his in- juries. The committee on ligt of the city coun- cll has ordered the iaying of three thou- sand feet of gas mains in the northwestern section of the city. Eighty-one dollars and fifty cents was the amount of the fines collected in the mayor's court on Saturday, the bulk of which was assessed against negro em- ployes of the race track for impertinence and insolence, and interference with the officers of the police force while on duty. The arrests grew out of a disturbance at a ball given at the Colored Odd Fellows’ Hall on Friday night. A particularly handsome headstone for the grave of the late Rev. Father O'Kane, formerly pastor of St. Mary’s Church in this city, was shipped to Chapel, Point, Md., on Saturday by the Alexandria mar- ble ‘works, to be placed at the grave in St. Charles Manor, in Charles county, Md. The stone is the gift of the members of St. Mary's Church. Yesterday was another quiet Sunday. The congregations in the various churches were not so large, owing to the threatening look of the weather. Large numbers of people took the electric cars during the afternoon for the Driving Park, and many rede over the Mount Vernon route. Representative E. E. Meredith has been formally notitied by Mr. McCaul, the de- feated republican candidate in this, ‘the eighth congressional district, that his seat will be contested. Mr. Meredith says, how- ever, that he has no fear as to the resuit, as the worst that can happen would be to have another election, and tn that event he (Meredith) would receivé a larger ma- jority than before. ‘The funeral of Thomas, the infant son of Thomas M. and Alice E. Lynch, who died on Saturday, took place this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The commissioners appointed by the Alexandria county court have condemned for the use of the Washington, Arlington and Falls Church Electric Railway Com- pany about half an acre each of the lands of Mrs. Susan B. Fletcher, 'S. Charlotte dL. Drain, fixing the amount of damage at $110. The balance of the land necessary has been dorated to the railroad company, and if the court sustains the action of its commissioners, the projectors say the road will b2 built at cnce. Pere Jerome Calaoflower, who a few weeks ago was removed from the Driving Park to the Alexandria Infirmary, was on Saturday removed to a private house, so that he could have mcre attention. His condition Is said to be critical. Two young men in a buggy yesterday did the foolhardy trick of driving through the Wilkes street tunnel on a wager. The tug Eva Bell Cain is being repaired at the Pioneer Mills wharf under direction of Capt. Simmons. ——_—_ DESCRIBED HIS OWN SUICIDE. Editor Liddell Wrote the Story of His Death and the Press Was Stopped. After the suicide of Editor James Liddell at Lyons, Iowa, Saturday it was discov- ered that he had written a brief but ac- curate description of his throwing himself in front of the railway train, stating that he had contemplated it for a year. He even added a display heading. The press of the Times was stopped and the article was inserted. . He drew a check in favor of his mother and another for his partner, covering funds. in the bank, with a brief note commending his mother and sister to the eare of friends, and then committed suicide. No cause is assigned. He was always cheerful and genial. 40 — ‘To Sell Dr. Talmage’s Church, The trustees of the Brooklyn Tabernacle have resolved to sell the church property for $110,000, subject to the approval of the court. The foundation and the walls, that have been left standing since the fire last May, are also part of the property, No plans to build another church have been considered, but when the property is sold and all the debts are cleared up it 1s not at all improbable that a movement will be put under way looking toward the erection of a new church edifice by the board of trustees and some members of the congre- gation. ——_—+e.

It was not welcomed, however, owing to the athietic officers considering it far“below the grade of sports generally patronized at the club.

A breathless servant from the residence of Mrs. William Astor, at 34th street and 5th avenue, New York, rushed into the West 30th street station just before mid- night Saturday night. He asked for an officer to hurry to the Astor mansion at all speed. A policeman hustled along, wondering what was up. When he reached the house he found the servants all gathered in the hallway, highly excited. “He's on the fourth floor,” they cried in awed voices. “What is he—a burglar?” the policeman asked, as he reached for his revolver. “Oh, he's awful,” was the only reply he could get from the women, The policeman went up to the fourth floor, and there, in one of the gorgeous bed rooms, he found a scraggy bearded man in bed. He was fast asleep. The fellow was aroused and taken to the West 30th street station, where he said he was John Garvin of 96 Bowery. He would tender no explanation as to how he gained entrance to the house or what his purpose was. —_+e+___. Longfellow Night.

Before thé debt is canceled he''is usually transferred to a sea-going ship, and -he. then runs against the pay regulations of that ship. These regulations are entirely within the discretion of the commanding of- ficer. According to the general rule, he finds that he can draw no money as cash until he has accumulated $100 with the pay- master. If he is patient, he remains on board ship six or seven months more, until he has accumulated the necessary $100. He is not compelled to remain on board. ship during this period, but without any money there is no fun in going on shore. When he has accumulated the $100, he then certamly thinks that he will be entitled to his stipend monthly. But he is not. He only receiv: an allowance called “manthly money,” thesamgunt of which i: entirely within the jon of the com- manding officer. x mon varies from one- third to one-half a montQ's fy each month; The balance of his pay the government gen- erously allows him to accymulate on the books of the ship, bu’ )eannot draw it. | If he desires to send money to his family, he must make what is énawn as a special requisition, in which hé@muét testify in de- tail the objects and uses to which the mon- ey is to be applied. Ie he ommanding of- ficer approves of the object-he gets the cash} otherwise he does not get it. About this time the récr@t.is thoroughly disgusted and ready to“festrt. In the case of Americans, nine out.of ten do desert as soon as they reach a hojhe port. Foreigners are more patient. The'tlemand in the navy is for intelligent young, mep, but the first assumption they encoumter after enlistment is that they have not suffiotent intelligence to take care of their own eatnings. In time of peace a young mart foes hat enlist jn the navy for patriotic motives, but’ because he wants to see the world, and, to seek adven- ture. But when he finds that for at.least a year he must see the world with empty pockets, deprived withouf reason of his earn- ings, he is utterly discouraged. Some of the Evil Effects. ‘There is avother motive for enlisting in the navy. When.a man is healthy, but out of work; when he has tramped from one part of the country Icoking for employ- ment and acquiring vicious habits—then he often goes to the navy as a refuge. He is fed, clotaed, and fe to him: is without care. The money he {s forced to accumu- late is’ spent In one long detauch at the end of each enlistment. Bankrupt in cash and broken in nerves, he again secks the receiving ship and re-erlists for another period of accumulation. To such men the rresent pay regulations are no hardship, ‘To the foreigner who, attracted by the pay in our navy, entists for the sole purpose of accumulating money, tha regulations are in no way objectionable, But they cause the American to despise the service, to condemn his officers, and to desert. ‘There are other evil effects of the present regulations, A man who has no money, but wants it badly, will borrow it if he can. There are comparatively rich men among the enlisted force of the navy—men who have become rich by lending money to their shipmates. The rate of interest is 20 per cent a month. A man borrows $5 from a money-lender; at the end of the month he mvst repay $6, or he must pay $1 for each month until the money is re- paid. If the borrower is a recruit, his ne- cessities being greater, hé only gets $4 and repays $5. Officers in’ the navy have not escaped suspicion of being concerned in lending morey to the crew. Futhermore, the fact that every enlisted man in the service has a balance due him from the government invites a manipulation of those balances by naval pay officers or their clerks. Many scandals have arisen from this cause in the navy. Officers Paid in Full. Mr. Hoornbeek mentioned the case of an executive officer who refused to let a man heve money to send to his mother until he procured @ certificate from the mother’s spiritual adviser to the effect that she was not only sick, but destitute, Within the last year an educated machinist of the navy was ecmpelled to deliver his “letter open to an officer, when he desired to inclose a check to his relatives at home. By the captain's order the paymaster declined to deliver to him the check for the money the machinist had asked for, and would only deliver it to an officer, who inclosed the check in the open letter, sealed it and mailed it. ‘There ts not a man in the navy who sup- ports mother, wife, chitd of sister but has felt the degradation o} mens compelled to tell his family secrets "to an officer before he could get the money, or rather a small part of the meney dueeto himself from the government.

Found One Mi At 1 o'clock this morning the first pre- cinct patrol wagon stopped in front of the police station. In the vehicle sat six policemen and one prisoner. The prisoner, who gave his name Fred. Smith and his age as eighteen years, had been ar- rested in one of the shacks on the public dump near the river. The police had gone to the dump expecting to find a small army of tramps, but this poor fellow was the only one to be found. He aroused froin his soft bed and made to sleep on an iron cot the balance of the night. He will spend thirty days on the farm. —_—.___ Several Additional Exhibits At Pure Food show.
