remarks of the pastor , Rev. Dr. C. iE. .Man
chester. The doctor spoke briefly but feel
ingly of the woman so greatly beloved by
the whole congregation nnd by the people ot
the city at largo. Almost overpowering
emotion was manifest In his voice , and as ho
recalled the lovable traits by which the be-
love-Ji woiran was best known , by her Imme
diate neighbors the eyes of all In the vast
congregation filled with tears.
When the pastor had concluded his

hymn , of which MotLer 'McKlnley ' was par
ticularly fond , "Nearer , 'My ' God , to Thco , "
was announced by Rev. Roper of the First
JUaptlst i-hurch and sung by the quartet.
The undertaker then removed the lid from
the casket anJ an opportunity was given
the vast congregation to look upon the fea
tures of the departed. To the dirgellko
music of the organ the crowd slowly filed
past the chancel rail , 'gazed upon the sweet
face and passed out of the door , while
through another door these who could not
gain , admission to the church entered slowly ,
passed the casket and Joined the multitude
on the outside. It was past 2 o'clock when
the casket .was uncovered. . . The rain which
had fallen almost unceasingly nil day con
tinued , but In spite of It the long line ot
carriages to Wcstlawn cemetery was fol
lowed 'by hundreds of pedestrians.

DETROIT , Dec. 14. Governor Plngree yes
terday gave out a signed statement for pub
lication denying that 3-ccut sticut car fares
have pioved , a failure. He says that "the
railway maiMpnr. ' aamago their own business
by eaylra " 3-ccnt fares do not ray , hoping to
"receive sympathy from the aldermen and
mayor , and that the next move has been
for the newspapers to take ut > the cry. The
governor asserts that If the ? lSOOOi)0 ) bonds ot
the Detroit railway were field the owners
got back all they laid for constructing the
road ; If they were not sold they have re
ceived uptti their bonds a greater profit than
have mor.t ot the manufacturing concern * ot
the city for three yeai's cast. Governor
Plngreo toys that a subsequent Issue of
? 1,000,000 bonds , which was made at the
time of the consolidation agreement between
the rival systems , was In reality a pure gift ,
made by the owners of the roads to them
selves , upon which they expect the people
ot Detroit to pay Interest , and eventually the
principal. The governor asserts that for the
last year after paying Interest upon all
"honest bonus" there was a clear yront ot
more than C per cent to stock.

GROSVENOR LEADS THE FIGHT UPON IT
CniiNlilvrntlnn of AiiprniirlnUon for
Civil Service Cuinitilfiftlon In
Poxtponril Until After
. the Holiday * .
WASHINGTON , Dec. 14. The house to
day , after a session of about two hours ,
adjourned out ot sympathy for the presi
dent , whoso mother wus burled at Canton
today. The time ot the session waa dovotcd
to the consideration of the executive , legis
lative and Judicial appropriation bill. It
was decided to postpone the consideration
ot the Item providing for the maintenance
ot the Civil Service commission until alter
the other features of the bill had been con
cluded. It was apparent from the remarks
made today that the entire subject will bo
exhaustively debated. There Is seemingly
no disposition to curtail the discussion end
It probably will not be concluded before
the holiday recess. So absorbing Is the
topic that almost the entire tlmo today , de
spite the fact that tlio consideration of the
question had been technically postponed ,
was consumed In the debate upon It.
In. . committee of the whole the house took
up the legislative , executive and Judicial ap
propriation bill. Mr. mlnghara , republican , of
Pennsylvania , In charge of the measure , ex
plained Its provisions In detail. Mr. Ulug-
ham said ho would offer amendments to re
duce the clerical force In the pension ofllco
by ninety-six clerks , Involving a reduction
of $115,000 In salaries.
WIDE LATITUDE FOR DEHATS.
Mr. Blngham did not discuss the appro
priations providing for the maintenance of
the Civil Servlco commission , but stated
that the widest latitude would bo allowed
for debate , oven If It should run over the
holiday icccss , He asked , however , that
the provision of the bill relating to ihe
civil service and the debate thereon should
EO over until after the consideration of the
other features of the bill wiis concluded.
I Mr. Grosvenor , republican of Ohio , unJer
whose direction the light on the civil service
J law Is being made , expressed the opinion that
the bill should not bo pressed to o final vote
until after the holidays.
Mr. Illngnam's request was agreed to and
an hour nid a halt was set aside for general
dcbato on the rest ot the bill.
Mr. Uarrott , republican of Massachusetts ,
took the Iloor and made some general re
marks In support of the civil service law , In
the course of which he referred to the slender
minority against -the civil service law when
I It passed tne house In 1S83. The vote stood
153 to 47.
Mr Carnon , republican of Illinois , and Mr.
Dtagham reiterated their opposition to the
bi iid extension of the law by executive
orders. The latter explained that the law-
was passed under suspension of the rules ,
practically wlthcut debate , and never con
templated an extension by executive orders
that would cover 87,000 government employes.
IS A REPUBLICAN MEASURE.
'Mr. ' Barrett , continuing , Insisted 'that It
was a republics measure , passed by repub
lican votes and that the party waa Irrevocably
committed to the policy of civil service re
form.
form.Mr.
Mr. Moady , republican ot Massachusetts ,
said he was willing to give a hearing on
the civil service question and ho did not
propose to give a judgment In advance.
Mr. Grosvenor commended thla statement.
All he asked was that the house should
honestly consider the question cad give Its
careful Judgment. "Tho statesmanship tfcat
does not do fls own thinking , " ho said , "tho
statesmanship tliat respects enly what others
say , Is the statesmanship 'the parrot displays
In the course of his morning ablutions. "
( Laughter. )
Mr. Dc-ckery , democrat of Missouri , dis
cussed the amazing growth of the expend
itures of the government during the re
cent years. The ordinary expenses of the
government , exclusive of the public debt , the
last eight years exceeded those of the pre
ceding eight years by $1,000,000,000 In round
numbers. In view of this fact there were
only tw-o ways he said to bring the receipts
aid expenses together. Either taxation must
be Increased , or expenses curtailed. If the
expenses were to 'ho roi'uced ' congress alone
cculd not accomplish much without the aid
of the executive branches of the government.
Despite the president's appeal In his mes
sage for economy , the executive branches of
the government had submitted to congress
estimates for appropriations for $27,000,000
Ir. excc&s of the appropriations for the pres
ent year.
At this oomt the committee rose , and ,
Mr. Grosvenor , addressing the chair , said :
" .Mr. . Speaker , as Is well known , the funeral
exercises of the mother of the chief magIstrate -
! Istrato of the nation are to take place at
' this hour aud , therefore , conforming to the
[ action of the senate and duo to sympathy and
rrspcct. I move that the house now ad
journ. "
The motion was unanimously carried and
at 1:45 : the house adjourned until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 14. Scnor do Rafael
Argula , ono of the Cubans In Now York ,
waa In Washlng.on yesterday and spent
some tlmo In conference with persons In
Hi la city respecting itiie outlook In Cuba.
Scnor Argula was a leading lawyer and
autonomist of Cuba and left the Island on
acoount of a disagreement with Woyler's
policy. He settled In New York , where he
Is conducting a newspaper In the Interest of
the autonomisti ] . This has been printed In
Spanish , but It has been arranged to Issue an
Kngllsh edition to meet the demand for the
paper , edited by Cubans , that shall set out
the autonomists' policy.
It Is believed that 'Argula has never de-
claro.l for Independence , 'but has always
striven on constitutional lines for homo rule
and autonomy of advanced typo for Cuba.
Ho Is now considering whether ho can hot
ter servo his cause iby remaining In Now
York , or returning to Cuba and taking an
active part In the political organization of
the government there , which hh prominence
In the autonomist party seems to require ot
him. Jt Is not sotiled that ho shall be a
member of tlio first Cuban cabinet , .but . It Is
highly pro a/blo / that ) with the domination of

WASHINGTON , Dee 14. Secretary dago
will appear before the house committee on
banking ami currency on Thursday and sub
mit to It In the form of a. general bill
hlo recommendations recently made to coil-
gross.
The determination of Secretary Gage to
appear on Thursday and to submit ono gen
eral financial bill , Instead of n number ot
separate bills , brought out many expres
sions of satisfaction , It had the effect ot
clearing up a situation which was becom
ing strained and gave promise of nn early
report to congress on financial bllla.
The understanding was reached as n re
sult ot a visit to the capltol ot the solicitor
ot the treasury , Mr. Cornell , representing
Mr. Gage. Ho talked with a number of Uio
republican leaders and It Is understood was
advised by Mr. Dlngley anil others that It
would he desirable to embrace financial
subjects In one general bill.
Later the solicitor met Chairman Walker
and other members of the committee on
banking and currency nnd a general confer
ence was held as to what should bo dona.
It waa made known ( hat Mr. Gage preferred
to let the subject go over until otter the
holiday recess. The committee urged , however -
over , that It desired to take the Gage bill
and also that submitted by the monetary
conference , under consideration during the
holidays. In order to bo In a position to re
port progress when > the house reconvened
after the recces It was decided , therefore ,
that Mr. Gage should submit his measure
on Thursday and appear In person to ex
plain ! rnd argue Its morlta andi answer ques
tions from the committee. It was also made
clear that the secretary would cover all his
proposalo In ono general bill , Instead of cut
ting the subject up.
This arrangement gave general satisfaction
and'having accomplished this much the mem
bers of the comm.ittea canvassed the course
they would take as to making an Immediate
report to the house on the currency questions.
It was decided that the first thing to bo done
s to report a bill embodying the three feat
ures recommended by the presldeat , viz. :
A reduction ot the tax on circulation to one-
half of 1 per cent ; the Issuance of circulation
TO to the par value of bonds deposited ; and
the establishment of small banks In rural
communities.
Whllo these will bo embodied In the Gage
plan , yet , as they were tocclally advised In
the president's message , It was felt to be
advisable to give the house the opportualty
of acting on them at once without waiting for
the report on the Gage bill. For these rea
sons the full committee will be asked to re
port on the president's plan at once , The
draft of a bill has been prepared by Mr.
Broslus , republican of Pennsylvania , and
this was given to the solicitor ot the treas
ury , who Is to return It In tlmo for action
by the committee with such suggestions as
the treasury authorities may wish to make.
As to the 'comprehensive Gage bill , this and
the monetary conference bill will bo gone
over with care during the holidays , and as
a result of the better feeling created today ,
members of the tanking and currency ccm-
mlttce say there Is ao further doubt that
action will bo reported to the house soon
after the holidays.

WASHINGTON' , Doc. 14. The National
Board of Trade met hero today foe Its
twenty-eighth annual session , ox-Govo no :
Stanard of .Missouri presiding In the ab-
sccnco of Frederick Fraloy of Pennsylvania ,
who has been president of the board slnco
1868. The executlro commUtoo ica3o Its
annual report , which was adopted without
n dlsscntlns veto. On the subject of tbo
currency the report says :
Probably them IB no subject which Is still
of so much importance ) ns that ot tlio cur
rency. Whllo the roat uprising In favor
of sound money In 1SSG was not without Its
peed effect , there Is stilt much to bo desired
In the way of a permanent prosperity , which
condition. Is mainly duo to the fact that
the future of our .monetary . system Is still
lai-Roly In doubt. OVeroonlldcnco as to the
continued Influence for good nnd the de
feat of silver at the last election Is a seri
ous mistake. Whllo hard times nro un
doubtedly a. stimulus to unsound systems
of finance , It 1 a mistake to suppose that
the numerous friends of such systems will
bo entirely satisfied by a return of pros
perity. Hard times , which did not orltf-
nnto the silver question , have undoubtedly
bton used by Interested parties to Instill
false Idcns Into the minds of many of our
people , principally worklngmen and farm
ers , which have become a part of their
political belief. A spirit of unrest nnd
dissatisfaction still exists among1 such
classes and there Is no evidence that among
such any great conversion from the free
Hllvor doctrine has ttikcn place anywhere
In the country.
HERESIES STILL. LIVE.
In New York or Nebraska the opinions of
tliB dlssatlstlcd are now practically Iho
same as before the election. The form may
have changed. As free silver was but a
form nnd natural sequence of the green
back heresy , so now the tendency Is to be
come a flat money rather thun n. silver
fallacy ; but In whatsoever form It shows
Itself It has become a general theory of
public policy and u conspicuous tenet In
the doctrine of. a national political party.
To such the free silver or flat money ques
tion nnd all considerations of currency re
form will bo made subservient thereto. The
only way to meet It is by persistent educa
tion for which purpose some of the Round
money organizations have been continued
and a. national one formed , though without
very much popular interest or support
nnd by thp adoption of a sound financial
policy , Including1 not only coinage , but
banking nnd currency. Whllo our present
system exists there Is the ever-Impending
danger of a repetition of our Ute financial
dllllcultles , when the country would bo at
the mercy of those who do not have its
best interests nt heart. *
In the absence of careful attention In the
meantime , unless by some very unexpected
contingency , wo shall have an unprece
dented degree of national prosperity , but at
the tlmo of the ttext general nnd presi
dential elections we may expect to sec the
flat money lssU& the Issue of the campaign
REFORMING CONSULAR SERVICE.
One of the most important reports prepared
and adopted wns that ot Jonathan A. Lane
of Boston , on the reform of the consular
service. The report advocated the extension
of the civil service rules to cover the con
sular service to the end ot securing practlca
business men In . the service rather than
purely political * appointees.
Another Important recommendation was
that hereafter Importers 'be compelled to nt
test their Invoices before a magistrate of the
country from , whUjh the goods are shipped
In addition tdUhekr oath before the United
States consuls Inoithle connection It Is al
legcd that several , millions of dollars are
lost to the goyertjment annually by vrader
valuation , of "goc < } s piylng an ad valorem
duty , the oath * before , a United Statca consu
being not binding Ini the country of export
and there consequently being no method 6
punishing those guilty of this form ot de
ceptlon.
It was further stated by the report tha
many of the largest exporting houses ii
foreign countries have their own agents In
this country , who connive at this violation o
the .law.
A report was adopted from the commute
en uniformity of state laws. This especially
looks to the unifying of commercial laws 1 :
the various states. There Is at present s
great a variety among the tanking1 laws am
laws relating to commercial paper tha
causes much confusion in the conduct of th
Interstate business. Several ot the state
have abrogated laws relating to days o
grace on commercial paper , and there ar
many other varlctlons which make It almoo
Impossible for business men to carry o
transactions outside their own states \\lthou
the aid of a lawyer at the other end of th
line.
UNIFYING fTITB LAN'D ' LAWS.
Somewhat in the same line Is the object o

To linyVllliout
That this liberal otter made by Drs , Sey
mour nnd Dttlly , to cxntiilne children's eye
free ot charge , has been appreciated , cannot
bo doubted by three who liavo culled at their
offices on the days set aside for this work ,
A nil as they \slsh to Rive all an 01 partiality
they will extend these Invitations to Wednes
day nml Saturday ot each week , at which
times all ro welcome. Motiy do not atoro-
cMto the Importance ot special Instrument *
that arc necessary to this class ot worlt , as
the means employed by the ordinary store
o.Hlcliui are net only Valueless , but positive
Injuries may be Indicted upon the child by
the Improper tUtlng ot glasses. H Is not only
necessary to have properly arranged roams
tor this , work , but very expensive Instru-
metils which are made for this i > utlcul.pur
pose. Drs. Seymour ami IXilly ha\a Just
received the latest and l > ct Improved Oph-
thalmometcr made , which has boon placed In
their offices with proper attachments , and It
Is without doubt the most accurate Instru
ment for mc'isurliiR astigmatism In children's
eyes of anything that his ever been Invented.
Do not bo dissuaded from having your chllds
eyes attended to If they complain ot hmdacho
or smartltiR eyes , by your friends who may
ho prejudiced against seeing glansry on chil
dren. Remember v\o do not even request you
to buy glasses for > our child , ovcn though
you may bo satisfied that they need them.
Wo malte this examination entirely free uf
charge , and advise you upon this subject with
out expecting any remuneration further than
that you must certainly admit that our means
and facilities for this work are far superior
to any others In this city.
Green eyes , to most people , simply mc.ii
a d'sflgurement , when In reality lira Is of
the smallest con > efuonco | compared with the
fact that crces eyco , uncorrected , inwrlablr
means the graduol loss of Fight to one e > o.
Again we wish to emphasize the fact that
oome ono la to blame for every i lr of cross
eyes that you meet , and there lj absolute y
no excuse for people who have cross-eyed
children ! n letting them grow up this way.
There Is no pain or lncon\cnlence connected
In having the eves titled with glisses. and
the cost of lerses for th's troulle la no >
