FERNS AND PALMS HIDE THE CASKET CONTAINING THE REMAINS, SOMBER EMBLEMS IN SILVER. MaNYy DISTINGUISHED PERSONS CaLL WiTH CONDOLENCES FOR MOTHER. PARIS, Fraxce, Oct. 21.—The funeral of John W. who died F¥riday evening from injuries received by being thrown from his horse at his chateau in the department of Sarthe, isfixed to take place in this city to-morrow at noon at the Roman Catholic Church of St. Ferdinand des Ternes. After the obsequies the body will be placed in the vault of the church pending its shipment to Havre to be con- veyed to America, probably on Saturday. Mrs. Mackay, the young man’s mother, ned to her bed, completely prostrated with grief and it is not expected that she wil! be able to attend the funeral. Countess Telfener and her daughter and Mrs., Hungerford have arrived to attend the obsequies, and are staying at the Ho- tel Brighton, whera the Princess Galatro- Colonna and Clarence Mackay, respect- ively sister and brother, of the deceased, are stopping. Among the callers at the Mackay residence, 9 Rue Tilsit, to-day, were: Mrs. H. Q. Babeock, the Marquis de Choiseul, the Marquis de Mores, Louis Butterfield and wife, the Count de Pointa- vice, Mrs. J. W. Homan and daughter, Mr, Humphrey Mooreand wife, Prince Fabyan Colonna, John Monroe and wife, the Comte de Cassaux and M. Michel Mar- ghileman, The offices of the Commercial Cable Company here and in Havre will be closed until after the funeral. The facades of Mrs. Mackay's house, 9 Rue Tilsit, in which the body lies, are massively draped with silver-fringed black velvet. The coffin has been placed in the sum- mer dining-room, on the ground floor facing the Place de I'Etoile, a view of which is hidden from the mortuary cham- ber by ferns and palms, The mortuary chamber and anteroom are decorated with black, relieved by silver cords; the ceiling of the chamber is covered with black with silver stars, and the walls are draped with silver fringe and ornamented with six shields bearing the initial M. The coffin is of oak, covered with a white pall of silver stars and surrounded by three lighted candles. At the head of the cotfin lies a cushion, upon which is a small silver crucifix and an immense florai wreath of orchids, camellias and white car- nations, The chapelle Ardente is literally a mass of the most exquisite flowers and wreaths, sent by the many friends of the deceased and his family. The coffin is almost buried beneath the floral offerings. Clar- ence Mackay placed upon the casket con- taining his brother’s remains a magnifi- cent wreath of Parma violets, which was Wiilie’s favorite flower. The staff of the Commercial Cable Company at Havre sent a wreath of violets and pale red roses. Princess Colonna’s three children—Bianca, Andreaand Marie—each sent a wreath of chrysanthemums and white lilies, on which was inscribed, **My Darling Uncle.”” Princess Colonna’s offer- ing was a wreath of mauve orchids, re- lieved by white lilacs and carnations and bearing the inscription, 1n gold letters on white satin, "My Own Beloved Willie.” The ensemble of the decorations of the chapelle ardente is very impressive. Large vases containing masses of white lilacs stand at the corners of the coffin, while the corners of the room are occupied by monu- mental candelabra. Ferns and palms con- ceal the lower part of the drapery on the walls. A nun of the Order of the Immacu- late Conception is constantly praying on each side of the coffin. At the foot are placed pries-deux, where tors kneel and pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased and sprinkle the coffin with holy water before leaving. At the head is an immense cross of whito moire antique, edged with silver. On leaving the man- sion one notices in the courtyard a life- size marble effigy of Reinborg of the de- ceased’s favorite dog, Jim, which always accompanied him. When Mr. Macsay died this dog was lying on his bed and added to the pathos of the scene by moan- ing pitifully. The deceased’s consideration for others was shown in a noteworthy manner while he was being borne on a mattress from the scene of the accident to a house a long dis- tance away. Severzl times the dying man said to those who were carrying him, “If you are tired put me down and rest.” The night preceding the accident Mr. Digby, who was with Mr. Mackay when he was thrown from his horse, had a nightmare, in which he saw a horseman in jockey costume, wearing the colors of the de- ceased, killed in a race. He related the dream at luncheon, but nobody heeded it further. The accident occurred an hour later, Mr. Mackay wearing a costume iden- tical with the one scen by Mr. Digby in his dream. — GLORY FOR THE EMPEROR. William the Chief Figure at Memorial Cetebrations.

The King, whose authority is completely over- shmf wed, is in fear of his life, ana the representatives here of foreign powers have been asked to unite in affording him protection. g et 2 A message from Tokio tells of victories gained in Formosa by the Japanese, and stating that the black flags are expected to surrender at an early date. It was de- cided yesterday at Peking that China shall pay 30,000,000 taels to Japan for the retro- cession of the Liao Tung Promontory.

NASSAU, New ProvipENce, Oct. 21.— The British warship Partridge arrived here to-day, having on board twenty-one men who were arrested at Inagua, one of the Bahama group, on the charge of being fili- busters who were making their way to Cuba. The men landed at Inagua from the American steamer Delaware, from New York, and were taken into custody by or- der of the magistrate there, who, upon the arrival of the Partridge, sent them to this place for trial. A man named Ruiz is leader of the party. The authorities here and at the various outports, acting under instructions from the Governor, are keeping close watch to prevent the departure of any filibustering expeditions from those islands for Cuba. LONDON, Exg., Oct. 2L.—A dispatch to the Central News from Madrid says that the Government has decided to close with a wriple line of torpedoes the ports of Cuba, where a cruiser js kept permanently. One hundred and eighty torpedoes will shortly be shipped to Cuba for this purpose. CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE, WOMEN WHO ARE WILLING TO HELP THE PERSECUTED ARMENIANS. AN APPEAL FOR ASSISTANCE Was SECONDED BY Miss WILLARD AND ACTED UPON. BALTIMORE, Oct. 21.—The morning session of the third working day of the ‘Women’s Christian Temperance Union Convention was devoted to hearing reports from several superintendents on methods of promotion. The memorial services were conducted by Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman of Missouri. Immediately after the opening devo- tional exercises the executive committee went into secret session. Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, vice-president-at-large, took Miss Willard’s chair and wielded the gavel. After disposing of a few rou- tine matters papers on the ‘Methods of Promoting Our Principles” were read by the superintendents of various reform departments. In the discussion of the subject, *Legislation and Petition,” Mrs, M. B. Ellis, National superintendent of New Jersey, strongly favored legislation looking to a higher age of consent. “I believe,” she said, ‘*‘we should bea unit throughout the States in pressing this measure until in every State this relic of barbarism may be virtually killed by being raised to twenty-one years. I woula suggest that as far as practicable we try to be united in our aims toward betterment of laws, especially those concerning women.” In addition to furtherreports of affiliated interests three addresses were delivered in the afternoon by missionaries from South Africa, Syria and Armenia. Several tele- grams ot greeting were read, and Judge McDowell of Washington, Hon. Jobng. Wooly of Chicago and Joshua Levering, Prohibition candidate for Governor of Maryland, were presented to the conven- tion and made brief addresses favorable to the white-ribboners and the temperance cause. Miss Alice R. Palmer, honorary vice- president of the World’s W. C. T. U., spoke as a-missionary of South Africa against the legalized rum trade and the curse of its effects in the Dark Continent. She called attention to the fact that there are 3000 students in the United States being fitted for missionary work, and prayed that they might be taught the power and iil effects of rum before their education was consid- ered complete. M. H. Gulesian of Armenia talked of the suffering among his people and asked for help from the women of America for their sisters of the Far East. He also severely criticized the United States Government. “We are in danger of extermination, seemingly forgotten,” he said. ‘“‘No one comes forward to help us. This great country has not offered an official protest against the outrages of Turkey. O God, stir up_the consciences of your leaders here, We ask oneof the two things from the civilized nations—get together and give us freedom or get together and drown every Armenian. Weare not only wronged by the Turkish Government, but by the Unitea States Government as well.” The Judges of Armenian courts are nothing better than brigands, and many are too ignorant to read their own language, An appeal to them avails naught.” Miss Willard said that the globe had never seen a martyr nation to compare with Armenia. Mrs. Gladstone, she said, would stand at the head of a committee of English women to help Armenian women, with Lady Henry Somerset as an aid. Miss Willard favored” the best efforts of the W. C.T. U. in tne same direction, and her motion to take up a collection for the down-trodden Armenian people met with a hearty response. e DEATH OF GENERAL PITCHER.

CRIME OF A VETERAN, GENERAL VON ADELSHEIM CoMMITS MURDER AND SUICIDE, QUIT LIFE VOLUNTARILY UNLUCKY SPECULATION AND Pov- ERTY LED UP TO THE CLIMAX. CAREER OF THE NOTED SOLDIER. Toox PART IN BATTLES IN ITALY AND HUNGARY AND Was DuLy DECORATED. VIENNA, AusTrIA, Oct.'21.—A great sen- sation was caused here to-day in military and other circles by a murder and suicide committed by an old soldier who had served his Emperor and country with much distinction. The suicide was Lieu- tenant-General Gustav Dunst von Adel- sheim, aged 72 years, who in 1879 was re- tired from the army on a pension. The murdered person was his wife, Baroness Abele, aged 50 years. Their bodies were found lying under a tree in the Prater, the great park in the environs of Vienna. Both had been shot with a re- volver, which was found close to the gen- eral. Apparently the general had dispatched his wife and then killed nimself. A note was found in one of his pockets, reading: “We quit life voluntarily.” General Dunst von Adelsheim was highly honored by the Emperor and had received a number of decorations. He took part in several battles in Hungary and Italy and in several in the Prusso-Austrian war. He and his wife. after dressing them- selves in black, left their lodgings together and walked to the Prater, evidently with the premeditated design of dying. The couple were childless. They lived in an extremely moderate manner, being encumbered with debts. The general tried to recoup himself by speculation, His first venture was to become a shareholder in a stock company, whose president was arrested and whose vice-president com- mitted suicide. The general lost every- thing he possessed, and being thus ren- dered destitute the couple resolved to die. JURORS’ KIND WORDS. Their Review of Benefi's From the Cotton States and International Exhibi- tion. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 21.—At a meeting to-day of the jury of highest awards of the Cotton States and International Exposi- tion an address to the public was adopted. This jury is made up of the chairmen of all the special committees of the com- mittee on awarcs, which, with Dr. C. Gil- man of the Johns Hopkins University as chairman, consists of many of the most eminent men in the United States. The address in part is as follows: COTTON STATES AND E INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION, ATLANTA, Ga., October 21, 1895. To the People of the United States: The un- dersigned jurors and members of the highest board of award having visited the principal departments of the Atlanta Exposition and having had the advantage of guidance and suggestions from the most qualified experts, think it important to communicate ourim- pressions to the publiec throughout the ecoun- try by the agency of the newspaper press, in advance of such reports as may be hereaiter made to the constituted authorities. ‘We desire to call attention to the educational value of the Atlanta Exposition, its important relations to industry and its manifold indica- tions of the progress of the useful and liberal arts. Butin this brief paper we ean only in- dicate a few of the most significant character- istics. The exhibits of the National Govern- ment constitute a unique, complete and in- structive illustration of its wise and beneficent functions, With a building of moderate size examples are given of the work of the Federal Government in its relations to statesmenship, international intercourse, the administration of justice, the promotion of commerce—domes- tic and foreign—the postal service and the control of the National finances; the arts of National defense on land and sea; the development of agriculture, forestry, mines and mineral weelth, fisheries and fish culture; the protection and promotion of com- merce by surveys of the coast, the lakes, the rivers and the mountains; the study of the climate and the forecasting of the weather; the maintenance of lighthouses and life-saving stations; the education and civilization of Indians; the encouragement of invention, literature and the fine arts, by protecting the rights of the inventor, the writer and the artist; the advancement and diffusion of knowledge through the agency of the Smith- sonian Institution, the National Museum; the manifold services of the Bureau of Education and the collection of great libraries; the study of the diseases of the human race and also of plants and animals; and the protection of life by cautionary and remedial agencies, the pre- vention of epidemics, and the regulation of the food supply; these all, exhibited in & com- pact form, bring before the peovle the noblest offices of a strong, conservative, well-organized government, and are the best exhibits of the kind thut ever have been made. There are meny admirable signs of inter- state co-operation and social intercourse. The visits of the Presidentand Vice-President of the United States, of the Governors of many dis- stant States (often atiended by large escorts of our fellow-citizens), the assemblies of bankers, engineers, teachers, women of religious and philanthropic associations and of patriotic so- cieties, the recognition of the African, and es- pecially the meeting of many thousands of sol- dters in friendly intercourse—the blue and the gray homeward bound from Chickamanga— illustrate the good will and fraternity now prevalent among the citizens of our united re- public and the re-establishment of not only peace but of sympathy among those who have been widely separated. In addition to the buildings of the cotton States those. constructed by New York, Penn- sylvania, Massachusetts and Illinois and that of California with -its contents afford addi- tional evidences of this friendly relationship. RAN INTO 4 TRAIN. Electric-Car Passengers Suffer Through @ Motorman’s Negligence. CHICAGO, ILL., Oct. 21.—A number of people narrowly escaped death here to- night by a side collision between an elec- tric car and a passenger train. Early this evening as a westbound passenger train of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail- road was crossing Western avenue it was run into by a Western-avenue electric ear, coming at full speed. The electric car was l;u_tirsldv demolished, butno one was fataily injured, as every one jumped before the crash came. The = Western-avenue car was well loaded with passengers, and when they jumped " they = landed in a heap oy the tracks, and a num- ber were puinfully bruised and scratched. That no one was killed seems a miracle. The motorman in charge of the car was E. Rasmussen. He ran away as soon as he jumped, and no one is able to say why he Tan into the passenger train, the crossing ates being closed. The police are on the ookout for the missing man. it COLT AFTER VAN ALEN. Secures @ ¥a~rant of Arrest and Demands Damages in Two Hundred Thousand Dollars. PROVIDENCE, R. I, Oct. 21.—The Colt- Van Alen scandal was carried into the courts to-day. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Colt, wife of Colonel Samuel P. Colt, filed a peti- tion asking for a legal separation from her husband, the custody of their two minor children and suitable alimony. She claimed that the cause of the petition was an of- fense committed by her husband. The co- respondent is not named. Late this after- noon Colonel Colt caused a writ of arrest to be issued against James Van Alen, the well-known Newport society man. He charged Mr. Van Aler with alienating his wife’s affections and places the damages at $200,000. The defendant has not yet been apprehended.

Dr. Wray has two brothers in this city, one of whom is an attorney. WELCOMED DIPLOMATS, PRESIDENT CLEVELAND MADE THREE SPEECHES AND LIs- TENED TO AS MANY. KIND WisHES EXPRESSED TO MIN- ISTER CASTLE FOR THE PEOPLE OF HawaIr. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 21.—Presi- dent Cleveland made three brief speeches to-day and listened to three others. The several occasions of which the respective remarks were made were the presenta- tions of three new diplomatic representa- tives of foreign countries accredited to the United States. Thethree newly accredited representatives are Signor Augusto de Seguiera Thedin, Minister from Portugal; W. R. Castle, Minister from Hawaii, and Constantin Brun, Minister from Denmark. The addresses made 1n the presentations of the Portuguese and Danish Ministers were devoid of interest. In presenting his credentials the Hawalian Minister said: “Mr. President: By direction of Mr. Dole, President of the republic of Hawaii, I herewith hand to you a notification of the recall of Lorin A. Thurston, late Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten- tiary of Hawaii to the United States Gov- ernment, and 2 letter accrediting me to fill said office. In conveying to you the as- surances of respect and goodwill of the President of the republic of Hawaii, and of his desire for the continued prosperity of the Nation over which you preside, I desire to add the further assurance that I shall, while I have the honor to occupy this position, by every means in my power, seek to foster, maintain and con- tinue the relations of cordial amity and friendship which have for so many years existed between the United States and Hawaii.” : The President replied as follows: “Mr. Minister: Taccept the letters you deliver whereby the President of Hawaii notifies me of the recall of Lorin A. Thurs- ton, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Hawaii to the United States,and also accredits yourself in the same capacity at this capital. I recipro- cate the good wishes you are pleased to convey to me, and have pleasure 1n ex- pressing the sincere desire of this Govern- ment and of my countrymen that piosper- ity, happiness and good government may be the lot of the Hawaiian people, and that the friendly intercourse and cordial relationship they have hitherto enjoyed with the people of the United States may long continue.” e ASSAILED HIS RIVAL Judge Babb, However, Was Somewhat of a Dodger Himaself. COUNCILBLUFFS, Towa,Oct. 21.—Judge Babb, Democratic candidate for Governor of Towa, spoke Lere this evening at the opera-house before a good sized audience. His speech consisted mainly of an attack on General Drake, Republican candidate for Governor of Jowa, because of his al- leged refusal to state his position on the liquor question. The Democratic propo- sition to have the State institutions under a non-partisan Board of Control was also touched upon. Heeliminated all National issues, touching on the silver question, however, as he said to keep any one from thinking that he was afraid to tackle it. He was very discreet on this point and gave but a general statement of the issue without committing himself definitely. He again emphasized the position of the Towa Democracy favoring a high license law and the manufacture of liguors within the State. —_—— Petition to Ketain Penneys CHADRON, Ngsr., Oct. 21.—The report from Washington that Captain Charles G. Penney of the sixtlf Infantry, United States army, acting Indian agent of the Pine Ridge "agency, had been removed and Captain William H. Clapp of the Sixteenth Infantry appointed in his. place, created much excitement here to-day and a peti- tion was at once circulated and signed by every business man of the city asking for the reappointment of Captain Penney. It is understood that Penney was removed as the result of the report of Inspector Cad- man, who was thoroughly disliked here while conducting his investigations. et Advanced on the Calendar. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 21.—Chief Justice Fuller, in the United States Su- preme Court to-day, announced the ad- vancement on the calendar for early hearing of numerous cases in which the United States is a party.

WOULD BETTER HELP, ADVICE OF ENGLISH PAPERS GRATUITOUSLY GIVEN UNCLE SAM. LESSON TO VENEZUELA. EVEN THE MONROE DOCTRINE, THEY SAY, HAS No BEAR- ING ON THE DISPUTE. GREAT BRITAIN DETERMINED. AN ULtTiMATUM WiLL BE PRE- SENTED TO CONSUL RODRI- GUEZ IN LONDON. LONDON, Ex6., Oct. 21.—The St. James Gazette, in an article on the situation of the dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela, says: The United States Gov- ernment has serious grievances of its own against Venezuela, and it would best be- come its position as a greatcivilized power to join in bringing these Spanish-Indian barbarians to order. A good lesson given to Venezuela would be equally profitable to both the United States and England, and the co-operation of the United States would also be humane, since it would have a tendency to make the lesson bloodless, convincing the Venezuelans of the folly of resistance, The Westminster Gazette says: Venezu- ela, like Nicaragua, after much fuss, will probably prove to be small beer. No doubt the-less scrupulous of the New York papers will talk big about what they are are going to do with the lion’s tail. But Great Britain and the United Statesare not going to be set by the ears by a pack of Venezuelans. The Globe says: Even if the Monroe doctrine was an axiom of international law, it could have no bearing upon our dispute with Venezuela. Its widest appli- cation can only be held to insist that no European vower shall effect a fresh lodg- ment in America, so it does not affect the decision of England not to allow Venezuela to occupy part of the colony of British Guiana. The Daily Graphic, in an article to-day on the anti-Venezuelan dispute, says: President Crespo will not fail to wun- derstand that British vatience in this ancient quarrel has become exhausted. The Venezuelans have lately adopted a perfectly intolerable attitude. PARIS, Francg, Oct, 21.—The Figaro, alluding to the Venezuelan dispute. ex- presses the opinion that the system of isau- ing ultimatums which is now becoming a habit with Gieat Britain may be greatly prejudicial to the general peace. The Globe publishes a note saying that as the British ultimatum to Venezuela has not yet reached its ‘destination, it is not considered desirable to publish any of its details. It is proper to state, however, that the document is worded in terms of firmness and force. The communication, tiie Globe also says, was not transmitted through any representative of Vene- zuela in England, diplomatic relations between the two countries having been broken off some years ago, and no longer existing. The note further says that the ultimatum informs the ‘Government of Venezuela that the Government of Great Britain will not permit of any overstep- ping of Venezuela of the boundaries marked by the course of the Cuyuni and Auracura rivers. Great Britain, however, expresses willingness to submit to arbitra- tion the question of other territories in dispute beyond that limit. The Pall Mall Gazette asserts that the ultimatum will be presented through Senor Rodriguez, Venezuelan Consul in London. The Pall Mall Gazette also says should it be decided by the Government to take naval action against Venezuela, the move- ment would be confided to Vice-Admiral James E. Erskine, in command of the North American and West Indian squad- ron. The disposition of the vessels of the fleet at the time of his last communication with the Admiralty Navy Department in ‘Whitehall was as follows: Crescent, at Halifax; Canada, at Barba- does; Magacienne, Tartar and Rambler,at the Bermudas; Mobhawk and Tourmaline, at Jamaica; Partridge, at the Bahamas, and Cleopatra, Pelican and Buzzard, in Newfoundland waters. The announcement of the ultimaium contained in the note published in the Globe is officially authorized. The Daily News will to-morrow say: ““It is little to the credit of diplomacy that the Venezuelan question has been so long unsettled. The most serious aspect of the question is not 0 much in Venezuela as in the United States. There are many signs that public opinion in the latter country may be greatly disturbed by the British demand for reparation, complicated by the boundary claim. The dispute wiil need to be managed with the greatest tact and good temper by both sides, both by the respective governments and the press.” The paper refers to Trinidad and con- tinues: “In each case we have to consider public sentiment in the United States and set an example of moderation and self- control without which it will be difficult to bring these irritating disputes to a happy issue.” UNITARIANS 70 CONFER, SIXTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CHURCH.

(Grass Valley the Home o (e Happy One But It Was Not in Gold _ That He “Struck It.” It is funny to watch the man who goes out to make his fortune ina way that is “out of the groove.” Sometimes he will eppear in the guise of the lottery fiend; again he will appear as a dabbler in stocks; anent he is to be found as & gold mine prospector, and he has been heard of as trying to find gold on gooseberry bushes. In any case he isa man withoutan object—a careless, reckless and usually worth- less chap, whose duty to humanity (in his mind) is made up of getting rich at some one else’s expense. That is not the type of man, though, who carries his life in his hand from day to day.and who really works hard to se- curefortune’s favors. He is usually a sterling, whole-souled fellow, fearing nothing, thougn he risks much. One of the sterling sortof searchers after #luek’ who hasrecently “struck itrich” is Mr. A. Burton of Grass Valley. He was unable to pursue Lis arduous calling as a miner because he was prostrated with & serious disease. He thought there was no relief for him and_he began to look atdeath asa cer- tainty. He had not heard of the grand old Hudson Medical Institute then. But he went there and_he is cured now. “Health is more than wealth.” His good fortune was heaith. Ina letter to the managers of that great insti- tution he says: Grass Valley, Cal., August 15, 1895. Hudson Medical Institute, San Franciseo, Cal. Gentlemen: I left Gold Valley on the 3d of June, and I have been to Nevada and all through the mining camps seeking to find “good times,” arfd that is the renson I suppose that I did not get your letters before. At present I am not doing anything and money is scarce. The medicine I fook did me lots of good, and as soon as I am “in funds” I shall certainly send for some more. Yours, respectfaly. A. BURTON. See how with “hard times” practically star- ing him in the face, this decent fellow ex- Ere““ his thanks for what has been done for im by the skilled physicians at the great in- stitute which is located at the corner of Mar- ket, Stockton and Ellis streets. And he is only one among many thousands of decent grateful men. For instance, soiong those who have re- cenuK felt impelled to thank the specialists for what has been done for them: 8.J. Bailey of Weaverville says: “After two months’ treatment by you I feel tully restored to health.” K. C. Taft of Stowe, Cal., says: “I am feeling fine without a sign of the.disease now.” J. T Ward of Park City, Utah, writes: I em very pleased to say that I'am cured of the terri- ble disease that I had.” There is not a single State or Territory in the Union from which equally satisfactory in- dorsements do not come, and it is Dow becom- ing to bea proverb (for it is the pure and un- adulterated truth) that 1f you are ill_and be cured THE HUDSON MEDICAL INSTIT! isby far the best place to go to.
