REMAINS OF WIFE MURDERER
LAID AWAY.
THE WORK DONE SECRETLY
Only Immediate Members of the Fam
ily and Eight Boyhood Friends
Attend the Funeral.
Richmond. Va.—By the grave of
the wife whom he murdered July
IS, the body of Henry Clay Beattie,
jr.. was buried in Maury cemetery
shortly after sunrise Sunday. There
tvas a brief service at the residence,
attended only by members of the
family and eight friends who served
as pallbearers, and then the proces
sion moved through the silent streets
of South Richmond. Rev. John .). Fix,
who prayed with Beattie just before
he was led into the death chamber at
the penitentiary Friday morning, read
the service of the Presbyterian
church.
ro guard against possiDit* auu^auw
the exact hour of the funeral was kept
secret until midnight and consequent
ly there were no crowds around the
Heattie home or cemetery. Police
were on duty, but the hearse and sev
en carriages had reached the grave
before the city was astir. When the
burial was concluded H. C. Heattie,
sr„ left with Douglas, his son. and
Hazel, his daughter, and two aunts of
the murderer. The aged father's grief
was intense.
The pallbearers, boyhood friends of
Beattie, were asked by him to serve.
Several of them had testified in his
defense at the trial and one was his
best man when he and Louise Well
ford Owen were married, exactly one j
year from the date he pleaded not !
guilty of her murder in court. A
florist’s wagon, completely filled with
flowers, entered the cemetery gates
just after daylight, and the mound of
earth was hidden beneath chrysanthe
mums and immortelles.
After it became known that the
funeral had already been held a tre
mendous crowd visited the cemetery.
Double ropes were stretched around
the Heattie section, and two mounted
policemen in addition to officers afoot
kept the crowds back. There was no
disorder, -however, and no attempt to
take away the •'flowers.

DREADED MAN-EATING SHARK
Voracious Monster of the Deep At
tains Enormous Size and De
vours Almost Anything.
San Francisco, Cal.—This shark
was caught in the vicinity of the
Hawaiian islands. There are many
species of sharks, this being of the
“white" variety, known as the •man
eater,” and therefore the most dread
ed of all monsters of the deep. They
attain great size, one having been
caught 37 feet in length. The body is
covered with a hard skin, and is gray
ish-brown above and whitish beiow.
These sharks often follow ships for
days to feed upon any animal sub
stance that may be thrown or may
I _ ■ »
Caught in Hawaii.
fall overboard, and often their indis
criminate voracity will swallow things
indigestible. A lady's workbox was
found in the stomach of one. and the
ltapers of a slave ship in that of an
other. Human beings are frequently
its prey, a fact which makes bathing
or diving in tropical seas a dangerous
pursuit.
This variety of shark is capable not
only of biting off the leg of a man.
but of snapping the body in two, and
has been known to swallow a man
entire. Its head is large, the mouth
large and wide; furnished with ter
rible teeth, which are triangular in
form, somethimes two inches in
breadth, sharp-edged and serated.
When not in use they are laid back in
the mouth, nearly flat, but when used
in biting, they are brought up by
means of muscles with which each
tooth is independently provided.
This s;.ark is often captured by
seamen by means of a great hook
baited with a piece of meat and at
tached to a chain, as the shark's
teeth readily bile through any rope.
When the shark is hooked and hauled
on board, great care is necessary to
avoid danger both from the mouth
and front the wonderfully powerful
tail.

OFFIOiAi INVITATION
TO AMERICANS
HOW ROBERT ROGERS, MINISTER
OF THE ir.TERIOR, IN WINNIPEG
ADDRESS, ISSUES WELCOME
OF AMERICANS TO WEST
ERN CANADA.
During the course of a reply to an
address presented to Hon. Robert Rog
ers, the newly appointed Minister of
the Interior of Canada at a banquet
given at Winnipeg in his honor that
gentleman spoke on immigration. The
tone of his remarks was that he intend
ed to pursue an aggressive and for
ward policy in the matter of immigra
tion. In part, he said:
‘‘The most important branch per
haps of that department (Interior) 13
that of immigration.
“If there is anything more than an
other we want here it is a greater pop
I ulation. and it shall be my duty to pre
sent to the people in all parts of the
world where desirable emigrants are
to be found the advantages and the
great possibilities of this country. We
have received in the past a reasonably
large immigration from south of the
I international boundary, and in this
| connection let me say just a word for
i our American cousins who have found
happy homes amongst us, and those
i w hom we hope to w elcome in greater
numbers in the years to come. There
are hundreds of thousands of them in
; our prairie provinces, happy in the en
| joyment of a freedom as great as they
ever knew, and all contributing in a
I material way towards the development
i of Canada. We are not blind to their
' value as settlers. They come better
! equipped with scientific farming
knowledge than most of our emi
grants. and constitute without doubt
the wealthiest class of emigrants any
new country has ever known. As
head of the immigration department it
' will be my privilege to offer them a
■ welcome hearty and sincere, and to
so contribute to their welfare that un
der the protecting folds of the Union
; Jack they will enjoy as great a degree
i of liberty and happiness as tinder the
Stars and Stripes. The Borden gov
; ernment cherishes nothing but the
. kindliest feelings for the people of the
great republic to the south, and will
do all in its power to increase the
I bonds of kinship and neighborly good
i feeling that has so long existed.
! (Hear, hear.)
“While w-e adopt a vigorous emi
gration policy in that country, we will
also adopt the same vigorous policy in
other parts of the world. We will go
to England, Ireland and Scotland, and
every other country irrespective of
race, creed or nationality, where we
can find suitable and desirable emi
grants for this great country. I think
much good work can be done in those
countries, and especially perhaps at
the present time in England. Ireland
and Scotland. Now. then, it will be
my duty to stir up that policy in the
most vigorous manner possible.’’
No Need to Hurry.
Theatrical folks love to tell or a
western manager, now' prominent in
the business, who made fame and for
tune as proprietor of a small variety
house in San Francisco.
The thrifty German haji accumulat
ed considerable money, and was
about to open a new theater. Several
hours before the first performance
the entrance was packed, and the
manager in trying to reach the front
door became hopelessly imprisoned
in the crush.
“Here, here." he yelled, “peeples,
peeples, it’s me—it's Mr. Warner!”
As no one appeared to take any no
tice of him he again yelled at the top
of his voice:
“Vait a minutes, peeples. Vat's de
use of pooshing lige dis? Take your
time—de first two acts is rotten "
