Funnral of General O'llrlon.
Tlio funeral of the lute General George
M. O'Uricn took place yesterday morn
ing from the family rcsidonno , 012
South Klghtocnth street. The severity
preceding days Iiad been succeeded by a
oftho weather ofgcnial warmth wliich
Hindered fcasiblolho carrying out ol the
semi-military nnd civil programme which
had been outlined for the occasion.
Tlio remains lay in tlio parlor of the
liome , incased in a handsome cloth casket
richly and heavily draped. Tlio features
of tlio deceased wcro placid and seemed
pervaded with thu kindly expres
sion which had characterized tlio
deceased through life. The bodv was
was enclosed in the general's military un
iform , nnd the right hand lay lightly
upon his breast , while tlio loft fay bo.sido
him. So soldierly was tlio appearance of
HID remains that it was dillictilt to real
ize that the j"1'1' ! ' ' had not fallen asleep
with Ids martial clothes around him.
The funeral left tlio house shortly after
fKIO o'clock nnd proceeded on Kighlccnlh
lo St. Mary's avenue , tlieucc to Howard
and Ihenco to the cathedral of St. I'hilo-
menu. The remains wcn > borne into
the church and deposited beneath a pall
nt the west end of the south aislo. The
easkot was covered with lloral tributes
ami among tlium was noticed , in minia
ture , a symbolic sheaf of wheat.
Solemn high mass was chanted vvilli
Father Carroll as celebrant , Father Hoylo
ns deacon and Father Kelley as sub-
deacon. Tlio choir was specially re
inforced for tlio occasion , and rendered
thomissa solemnello in tlio most oll'ective
manner. During the ollbrtory , Miss
Fnnnio Arnold sang with sympathetic
tendcrncssand feeling the beautilul iiieco ,
"Rest , Spirit Itcsi. " At the conclusion
of the mass , the solemn burial service
was intoned by Father Carroll , tlio choir
giving tlio responses. Father Uoylo then
delivered the funeral sermon , of which
the followinir is an abstract :
It Is a known custom of ourclitireh to offer
up prajers for lliose. who have died and none
Inlo the other vvnild. Wo read that it "is a
holy and a wholesome thought to may for
tlio dead , that they may be loosed Horn their
sins. " We road In the now tesiamont that
they who sin against the Son nt Hod shall bo
forgiven , but that they who sin ai'alnst the
llolv Chest shall not bo forgiven In this life
or the ne.vt. Wo conclude , llien , that there
Is a middle stale In thoothcrworld , or state
wherein sins that uro light shall ho forgiven.
Wo icnd In the old testament ot David hav
ing his sins forgiven him. Wlieio ho told
that ho had to suitor temporary punishment
on account of sumo slight tanks. They may
Imvo to sillier tor a certain length ot time In
what wo call puigatory ; Ihat doctrine is
proven to you by this text.
\ \ a read that prayers and sacrifices wcro
offered up for the souls ot those who died.
Wo read that St. Augustine oilercd up
praycisand sacrifices lor his mother whom
wo consider now a saint ol' ( ! oil , nnd even
ycais after she died hoolleiod up priyors and
sacrifices for her.
Ami then again wo read ot ( Iod , and wo
know that eveiythlng In heaven is so holy ,
and Ho is so puie , that nothing vile shall
cntc-r Into heaven , and yet how manv there
nre who dlo with slight sins upon their souls.
It may bo a He ; it may bo the sin ol impatience -
patience : It may bo some oilier slight sin.
Considering the goodness ot Cod , we know
that nothing slight can enter Inlo heaven , bc-
cause nothing vile shall enter theio. Con-
Eidcrlni : the goodness and ( r.uidcur.of ( < od , If
a soul has buta sliirht stain upon It wo know
that on account ot his goodness and grand
eur , he shall not admit II to the vilest pains of
hell. Wo eonc-lndo then that llieio is a
middle place wherein limy will suitor lorit. .
Our doctrine is that a soul which may bu
In that state will bo aided and helped by our
good works and prayeis here below , hence it
Is that we otter up prayeis and saciillcci ,
Wo olfer up our players for our friends
who have cone befoio us. Like drops of
dew from heaven , which are absorbed by the
sun and then aio given to 113 a nin in so
many fragrant fruitful shovvcis , so aio our
prayers absotbed by the great Son ot Justice
and relumed again to us In showcisof grace.
It is like the bread cast upon the waters
which will retuin to us alter many days.
Having concluded these lew romaiks for
ourselves , let us conclude to piay lor those
who have gone befoio us.
Of course It is unnecessary for me to sneak
to you p'ntl culaily of him whoso obsequies
wo celebiate to-day. You all have known
him bolter than I , yes , far better. Theio aio
many things In Ids death which should be of
great consolation to those ho has lelt alter
him.
It Is a great consolation lo walk before the
judgment seal ot ( iod when wo have a waiu-
ing of a lew weeks or months to have time to
make a special preparation for our souls lor
our entry into the other vvoild ; we certainly
know they leave some consolation lo their
families after thai. Such was Iho case of
him whoso lunural wo altoud to-day , i'oti
know , my brethern , that ho died and 10-
celled tlio sacraments of the chinch , A
priest was called In and the sacrament ad
ministered according lo St. 1'anl. Another
consolation , my biethein , that ho lived to
see his children glow up around him.
Of his life , as an evidence ol Ihe esteem
In which ho was held by his fellow men , wo
need no stronger evidence than the assemb
lage which wo have hereto honor Ids remains
on his last great journey as far as this world
luconi'Otned. llonce , 1 say thcro is reason
for consolation for his r.imily. Let us then
ourselves try and make our lives so that wo
may also In the end meilt lo have the kind
jegard of lliose who aio living after us , and
also let us consider that It will profit a man
nothing if he gain the whole woild , and then
lese Ids own soul.
My brethren , for the ronsolatlon of these
who nru alive , it may ho said that life , or
rather death , to the Christian Is not , alter all ,
FO severe a shock. It Is simply separation
for a short time , for , in reality , It is 'nothing
but a short separation , because wo are still
united with Ihe dead by lhat golden link of
prayer , which wo may olfcr up for the dead.
Wo ate united In what is called communion
of the saints. Whether limy bo with the aimy
of Cod in heaven or wllh iho army of Cod
Millcrlng In purgatory , they are nevertheless
united to lhal one great aimy which Is still
trying in this world to obtain eternal salva
tion , lleiieo , lev us pray lor the souls ot the
departed. Then , mv brethren , piay seriously
that you mav dlo with your souls at pcaco
with Cod ; thai you may attain that attitude
which Is promised by Cod to the Christian , the
beatlimlo of overlaying joy. "

Tlio Clmmploii's Answer to n. DIs-
Cruutlcil Critic.
John S. I'rinco , in taking exceptions
0 the unwarranted criticism , that ap
peared in the Republican on Sunday ,
ipon the I'rincc-Dinglcy race , has written
the following communication to that pa-
icr :
To the Killtor of the IJr.i : : Will you
ilndly allow me space in your sport-
ng columns to answer a few questions
11 answer to the article which appeared
.n Sunday's Republican. The article
says , "t'ho Prince and Diugluv
race made expert bicycle riders tired.
Now 1 will say to tlio writer of that ar
ticle , that , if Fie will bring mo one expert
bicycle rider Hint saw the lace , that will
say that it made him tired and explain
his ruison : , I will make him a handsome
present. Instead , everybody who
lias spoken of it , says it was
the finest and most exciting race ever ,
given hero. 'Ihen ho says : ' 'It disap
pointed the lot ) or fiOO people who wont
to see it , " Well , I would say he is not a
very good jutliro in guessing a crowd of
pcoplo , as there were over 1,100 who
paid their way in , not counting those
who were allowed to go in free , and from
all points that I can learn everybody is
satislicd witli what they saw. Ho says :
"They went in hope to see the lifty-milo
record smashed.11 Well , they saw tlio
twenty-mile record smashed , and that is
a harder record to bent than the lifty. Jf
the writer of that article know anything
about bicycle raciiig , he would know
that a man setting the poco so fast tlio
first twenty miles , as Mr. Diuuloy did ,
could never expect to hold out the fifty
and break a record. It was the first
twenty miles being so fast thai spoiled
all chances of beating the record for the
fifty. When I made my fifty-mile record
at Minneapolis last May in 2 hours and
IS ! minutes , f took 1 hour and -1 minutes
to do the lirst twcntv , and last Saturday
night wo beat that time by 3 minutes.
He says he can't sec why 1 failed to beat
the fifty milo record. 1 will try to ex
plain to him. If a man had a 2.0 : : horse ,
and ho had to trot him a live mile race ,
nnd ho would start him out at a 2:80 : gait
where would his horse be on the last two
miles ? 1 would say going very blow. If
Mr. Dincloy set the pace for all lie was
worth to try and ran mo oflf , it was
not my place to toll him to slop. All I
could do was to hold on to him and try
and beat him at the finish. The fact of
it is that Mr. Dinjjloy thought ho could
run me off at twenty or thirty miles and
in trying to do it lie so run himself down ,
that neither of us had anything left to
finish with. If the writer of the said
urticle does not understand anything
ibout bicycle racing , 1 don't see why lie
should make oilier people suffer for his
ignorance. 1 have worked hard , ever
since 1 came to this city , to try ami make
our sport as popular here as ii is in the
cast. And 1 will always endeavor to
hold good , honest races in the future as
1 have in the past. If the people who
B.IW the race should read this article I
think they will say it is about right , if
not , I am open to answer all questions
that may be asKed. Yours truly ,
JOHN S. Pitixci : , Champion of America.

Have you evlccuco of this1. '
Abundance I Only a few weeks ago Dr. J.
U Stephens , of Lebanon , Ohio , a specialist
For the cute of natcotlc , etc. , habits told mo
that n number of eminent scientific medical
men had been expeilmenllng for years , test
ing nml analyzing all known icmedle-t for
the kidneys ami liver , lor , as you may bo

and Alexander Nell .M. I ) . , 1'iofessorof Sur

"Aie many persons addicted to the use of

"There are forty millions of pcoplo in the
world who use opium nlouc , and thcie aie
many humrrcds ot thousands hi this country
\\lio nre victims of morphine , opium , quinine
and cocaine. They think they have no such
liablt about them so many people are un
conscious victims of these habit's. They have
iialns and symptoms ot what they call ma
laria and oilier diseases , when in reality It is
the demand In the system lor these tciilblc
drugs , n demand that Is caused largely by
physicians' preset iptlons which contain so
many dangerous drugs , nnd strong sphits
nnd one thai must be answered or silenced
in Iho kidneys and liver by what Dr.

specific , lie also says that moderate opium

iuul liver vigor with that great remedy , can
keen UP these habits in moderation. "
Well , does not lids discoverv give you n
new revelation of the power of safe cure' . " '
"No , sir ; for years I have tried to conv Ince
Iho public that itrtirfj/ all the tUsat cx of the
'iitmrin ' sj/sfcm / originate In some disorder of
thokldnovsor liver , nnd hence 1 have loz-
Ically declared that If our specific were used.
over ninety per cent of these ailments would
disappear. The liver nud kidneys seem to
absorb these poisons from the blood and be
come depraved and diseased , "
"When these eminent aulhoiitics thus pub
licly admit that there is no remedy like ours
to enable Iho kidneys nud liver to tlnovvoff
the Hlghtful effects of all deadly drugs ami
excessive use of stimulants , it is an admis
sion ot Its power as gi cat as anyone could de
sire ; for II tlnonyli Its Inlluciicn alone the
opium , morphine , quinine , cocaine and liquor
habits can bo overcome , what higher testimonial
menial ot its specific power could be asked

"You really believe , then , Mr. Warner ,
that the majorlt } or illscnars como ftom kid

"I do ! When you sec a person moping nnd
groveling about , half dead and half alive ,
year alter year , you may smcly put him
down as having some kidney and liver
tiouble. "
The other day J was talking with Dr.
Fowler , tlio eminent oculist of this city , who
said lliat half Iho patients who came to him
lor eve treatment were allected by advanced
kidney disease. Now many pcoplo wonder
why in middle life their eyesighl becomes so
poor. A thoiougli comse ol tieatment with
Warnet'ssafe cine is vvh.it they need more
than a pair ol eye glasses. The kidney poi
son In the blood always atlacks the weakest
part ot the body ; with some it affects the

stoiniicli or Ihe 7nii/s ( / or r/ieiiimif/c / / dlsouler
follows nnd ncurnlitn ( lears them to pieces ,
or they lose the power * ot { ante , mnrll or become -
como tinnnlmt In utlicr fitnrtltinx of Iho
body. What man would not give his all to
have Ihe vliror ol youth at command ? "
"Tho Intelligent physician knows that
these complaints nre outsjyiiiploiii.s1 ; they me
not the disorder , nud they are symptoms not
of disease of the head , the eve or stomach , or
ofvliility , necessarily , but ol the kidney
poison la the blood , nnd they may prevail
and no pain occur In tiio kidneys. "
It Is not strange that the enthusiasm which
Mr. VYainer displays In his appreciation of
bis own remedy , which icstored him to
health when the doctor said he could not
livosfi months , shofild become infectious ,
and that the enlire woild should pay Iribulo
to ils power. For as Mr. Warner says , Iho
sales aio constantly Increasing , while the
newspaper advertising is constantly dimin
ishing. This speaks volumes In praise of
the cxtiaoidiuaiy merits of his pieparatioiis.
OOUS AM ) ENDS.
Stray Leaves from the Reporters Note
Hooks.
A ludicrous tiling occurred during tlio
Herrmann performance at the opera house
Monday night which excited the audience
to roars of laughter. The orchestra had
failed for some reason to KO through a
rehearsal , though Mmo. Herrmann had
spent an hour with tlio leader trying to
give him the proper cues. Duringlast
night's performance , everything went
inirly smoothly until tlio disiolviug views
were exhibited. Towards tlio last a scene
representing the "Hock of Ages" planted
in iho ocean of eternity , was followed by
another , picturing a human being cling
ing to the rock , the waves dashing high
about him and llircateniiigeverjrmoment
to wash him away. The picture was a
beautiful and touching one , and its all'cct
was heightened by Iho slow , solemn
music played by tlio orchestra. The
audience held its breath , wondering what
was to come next. Suddenly tlio scene
changed , and two angels , bearing be
tween them the saved soul and soaring
heavenward appeared on the canvas. Tlio
audience had settled down to a
silent , solemn enjoyment of this
beautiful scene when suddenly the leader
of iho orchestra , forgotling his cue ,
btruck up the "Hluo Danube ' wall/ , ono
of Strauss' most airy compositions. Tlio
idea of such music accompanying the
flight of a human soul heavenward over
powered the gravity of the occasion and
n hearty gull'uw ran thiough the andi-
once. Prof. Hermann was righteously
indignant over tlio occurrence , and
swore that for $10,000 would ho Imvo
such a break occur again.
"J ECO that Alice O.itos is dead. " said a
theatrical man yesterday. "Well , perhaps
it is better so , " ho continued. "Tho last
years of her life were anything but
happy. Alice Oatcs was , despite her
faults , a good woman in many respects
She was a kind hearted soul , 1 remenv
bur that on more than one occasion vv hen
she was in Iho zenith of her glory , she
would lend her services free to a charit
able cause. It was no uncommon thing
lor her to give performances for tlio ben
cfit of thu poor and MiH'oring , and she
fcomcd to take genuine delight in so
doing.
"These traits in her character made
her beloved by all who came to know her
intimately. Tlio members of her com
pauv admired and respected her. When
site had reached the lowest point in her
career , -ind was leading the burlesque
bnllet , shu had lost none of tiicse kindly

"I see by the California papers that W.
W. Footc , of Sacramento , Is the leader of
the Hearst forces in the United Slates
senatorial fight in that state. " Thus spoke
an oht citi/cn to a UKK reporter yesterday
morning. "You know Footo used to re

ticinulaw amliat ono time had his ollico

sippi , who was a man of national promi
nence. W. W. is also the brother-in-law
if ex-Senator Stewart , of Nevada.
While in this city ho was universally
liked and his splendid physique and
chivalric bearing being a typical
southerner gained him admirers where-
over ho went. Young Footo did not
meet with business succcs in Omaha , al
though ho deserved it a great deal more

Herrmann , who is beyond question tlio
prince of magicians and prestltligila-
tours , comes Irom a family skilled in
tricks of legerdemain. His father was
i clever performer , though but an ama-
lour compared to his sou. Herrmann's
brother was also a performer
of some note. Neither father nor
elder brother , however , over at
tained or dreamed of attaining , the skill
which is nightlydispliiyiMl by the younger
scion of the family. Herrmann is now
lorty-four years of ago and commenced
his career when lie was fifteen years of
ago ; ho has therefore been in Iho business
twenty-nine years. He is of French par
entage , though ho claims America as his
liome. Ho lias become wealthy in the
practice of his arts , and owns consider

tias a magnificent residence.

New Quarters at Sidney.
General Dandy , who follows General
Crook to Fort Sidney very shortly , stated
to a reporter yesterday that their visit was
partly for the purpose of inspecting tlio
quarters there with a view to reporting
upon the necessity of enlarging them.
The Twculy-lirst infantry is cramped
into small quarters , the inadequacy of
which is daily becoming more and more
apparent.
General Dandy states Hint a small ap-
proprialion has been made for Fort Sid
hey , which , however , will barely cover
certain needed repairs.
