FUNERAL RITES VILL BE SIMPLE
No Ostentation to Mark Services Over the Body of President Cassatt. MXREA - MAY SUCCEED BELIEF IN RAILROAD CIRCLES THAT HE IS LIKELY TO STEP INTO HEAD OFFICE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA. Publishers Press. Philadelphia, Dec. 29 After a lengthy discussion between the fam ily of the late A. J. Cassatt and the directors of the Pennsylvania rail road, it was decided today that the funeral on Monday will be private and unmarked by ostentation. Loud and earnestly did the officials plead for a biff funeral but Mrs. Cassatt overruled them. It was decided to hold the funeral on Monday at 2 o'clock there, will be brief services at the Rittenhouse square house. Interment will be made at four o'clock in the grave yard of the church of The Redeemer, 1'ryn Mawr, of which Mr. Cassatt was a communicant. There will be only a short burial stf vice at the graveside. It is the wish of Mrs. Cassatt that the funeral be as private as possible. For this reason it has not yet been decided whether there will be Itonorary pall bearers or not. The general officials of the Pennsylvania system will go to Byrn Mawr however, probably travel ig on the special train that will convey Mr. Cassett3 body to its final resting place in the shadow of the pretty suburban church. Mrs. Cassatt, although greatly i hocked by her husbands death, was able to participate in the conference over the funeral. Thousands of letters and telegrams of condolence have been received by her. After the conference, Mr. Patton end Mr. DeRousso hurried Broad street station, where they called together the higher officiate. It was then decided that the train on the system would not be stopped during the time of the lowering of the casket into the grave. This was done in memory of President McKinley by the Pennsylvania, and on the Southem Railway during the funeral of Kamuel Spencsr. . It was decided however, to close the general offices at noon on Mon-Jay. "It is also desired that the entrance lo office buildings' shops aud stations bo draped in mourning. This display to also be maintained until January 20. "I would urge that care be exercised tliat such disp'ay of mourning as is made be of a most modest and un pretentious character." James McCrea, one of the directors of the Pennsylvania company which controls the lines west of Pittsburg, is considered in financial circles the man most likely to succeed Mr. Cassatt. Mr. McCrea is the only director educated in the railroad business, and his knowledge of the affairs of the company both East and West of Pittsburg is declared to be equalled by no other man connected with the company. TAFT IS WILLING TO ACCEPT, BUT IS HOT A CANDIDATE (Continued from Page One.) reasonably set down that the man who gets the next republican nomination will be the man who makes the most effective fight for it. Leaders are again figuring on the strength of Foraker, Fairbanks, Shaw, LaFollette and others in the convention, and they shake their heads and express the fear that a deadlock may bring the prizo to Roosevelt. TAFT'S STATEMENT. "Washington, Dec. 29. Secretary Taft made the following statement concerning his presidential aspirations: "For the purpose of relieving the burden imposed by recent publications cn some of my. friends among the "Washington correspondents, of putting further inquiries to me, I wish to say that my ambition is not political: that I am not seeking the presiaermai nomination; tnat i ao nor. expect to be the Republican candidate, if for no other reason because of what seems to me to be the objections te ray availability, which do not appear to lessen with the continued discharge of my own offlcial duty; but that I am not foolish enough to say that ia the improbable event that the opportunity to run for the great office of president were to come should decline it, for this would not be true." WILL NAME DELEGATES Oruids to Arrange to Be Represented at the Coming State Meeting at Pendleton. At the meeting of the Druids Mon day evening, there will be work In the first degree and arrangements will also be made to attend tie State meeting at Pendleton. All members are urged to attend.
GAIIS IS THE FAVORITE
TONOPAH MAY GO BROKE Should the Dusky Warrior Lose to Herman, the Metropolis of the Gold Region Would be Short of Ready Cash. rfuhlishnrs Press. J Tcnopah, Nev., Dec. 29 If Herman wins in his New Year's Day fight with Gans, Tonopah will be broke for a long time to come. The local capitalists are betting generally on the dusky fighter and betting at odds of 2 or 3 to 1. The Herman coin is mostly from outside, but it is plentiful and no one ia holding it back except a few who think the odds may increase as the hour approaches for the contest. This seems unlikely. Too many Herman want to bet to permit much of a channe in Gans' favor. But for this fact the negro's followers would probably have offered 4 or 5 to 1. Gans shows the effects of his training far more than Herman. His face is drawn and lined, but his condition is evidently perfect. Herman simply looks healthy and happy and says he is sure he will win, though he owns the fight will be a long one. Manager Frank Chance of the Chicago National League basball club has a commissioner on his way from Los Angeles with a big roll of money be longing to Chance and his fellow play ers to be placed on Herman. The baseball men have not forgotten how Herman rooted for them during the world's championship series and pro pose to reciprocate. SECRETARY SHAW DENIES CHARGE (Continued From Page One.) by a money shortage in the last ten days, causing .a severe slump in stocks. Speaking of the statement that the present money squeeze was not caus ed by spoliation, the president of a Broad Street bank said tonight: Is Simply a Rescue. "The statement would indicate that Secretary Shaw is again coming to the rescue of a situation which threatens a severe decline in stock values and a subsidence of industrial activity. Money is tight and there are no en couraging signs unless the federal treasury comes to the rescue, or the market undergoes drastic liquidation. T cannot understand what' Secreta ry Shaw means when he says that stock speculation has not caused the present money stringency. Stocks have been kited for weeks on millions borrowed from every bank In Wall street, and when every dollar that could be raked and scraped together was taken, the pool operators and certain brokerage houses went out through the country and gobbled all the available money in sight. "As evidence that the stock speculation is at the bottom of our monetary disorder, it is only necessary to note that the bank of England has steadily maintained its discount rate at 6 per cent for the plain purpose of preventing our importing gold. Contangoes are the highest in years for American stocks and I understand that certain financiers in London brought about this high rate to carry American stocks for.no other purpose than to compel our speculators to unload stocks. All Europe knows of our present stock speculation and I fear we will have difficulty in securing gold from abroad if our speculators fly in the face of every danger signal and try to start another boom in January. Calls it Humor. "It must be that Secretary. Shaw Is delivering himself of some keen, sub tle humor, the vein of which I cannot understand, if he says stock specula tion Is not the cause of the financial distemper. Personally, I have no quarrel with Secretary Shaw in his diagnosis. We have a monetary stringency .and any aid he can give will be most gratefully received. It is the general opinion of bankers who were shown the despatch tonight, that Shecretary Shaw will, after the efirst of the year, announce some plan of treasury relief. JEFFRIES TO SEE FIGHT CHAMPION IS UNRUFFLED Says He Is Ready to Meet Bill Squires of Australia and Will Get Down to Training Without Delay.. Publishers' Press. Los Angeles. Cal., Dec. 29. James J. Jeffries, Eddie Keevin, Jimmy Walsh, and a party of friends, left Los Angeles for Tonopah, Nev., tonight to see the Guns-Herman fight. Jeffries says he will begin training within a fortnight for his coming battle with Bill Squires of Australia. He declares himself in excellent health and promises a surprise to those who believe him "all in." He admits, however, that he will have to take off much flesh and wants to go about it gradually that he may not weaken himself. The fight with Squires, he predicts, will not be a more serious affair than was his meet ing with Munroe. Will Go to Dayton. Harry Patridge has accepted a po I

William Hoppe, the 19 year old billiard chamrion of the most difficult game played by the worlds most famous experts, 18 inch balk line, one shot in has precK pitated, a dispute with the powers in the billiard world by announcing the forfeiture of his 1S.1 title to George Sutton, of Chicago. Sutton also holds the 18.2 championship. Hoppe declines to play under the auspices of the big billiard manufacturers and says Sutton is the best in the business and he is willing to surrender the title to the Chicagoan without a contest. Hoppe claims that the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company has not used him fairly in paying for exhibition games. GGi.ii Back Action Observations mm m Cre For the Bine.

HUMOR
JOHN BREN NAN'S LIE.
It Traveled Round the World and Caused Lota of Anxiety. One of the silliest lies ever told was the famous invention of Sailor Man John Brennan of Sligo. It was made out of whole cloth. There wasn't the shadow of foundation for it, but there was so much that might have been true about it that it was cabled round the world wherever men go down to the sea in ships, and for several hours it kept hundreds o people on the rack of anxiety. About 3 o'clock on the afternoon of Oct. H. 1S01. a bulletin was posted at the New yYork Maritime Exchange that the City of Rome had foundered off St- Shotts, off the coast of Newfoundland. About the-faine time the newspaper ofliess got a dispatch from St. John's, N. F.. saying that Sailor Man John Brennan of Sllgo, Ireland, had got into the little town of Trepassy that morning from Peter's river and had declared that he was probably the only survivor of the City of Rome, which had struck on the rocks and gone down. He was in such a condition of exhaustion that nothing more could be got out of him until he had had rest and nourishment. That story was cabled and telegraphed everywhere, and at once the newspapers began to strive for further de tails. The first etTort was to get confirmation or denial. It was found at once that the -City of Rome had sailed from New York at such a time that she must have been near St. Shotts when Brennan said she was there. That looked like confirmation. The, evening papers got out extras, with lists of the passengers and crew, pictures of the ship and her history. The offices of the Anchor Line agents were crowded with persons eager for news. But there was no news. Friends of the passengers flocked about the place. The Maritime and Lloyd registers were searched for reports of other Bhlps with names similar to- that of the City of Rome. An Italian Citta dl Roma was found, but when she was tracked It was found she was all right Then the newspapers began to prepare to send men to the scene of the wreck. Boston papers got men off for Halifax, there to take ocean tugs for St. Shotts. ,A11 the time the telegraph and cable were worked for further news from Newfoundland. At last there came a dispatch : from the cable Btatfon at Cape Race to the Anchor Line agents hers: Generous Father. Ascum Given any thought to your boy's Christmas gift yet? Kloseman Why, yes. I've thought up a splendid idea, but it would be just my Juck to have no snow Christmas time. Ascum Oh' A sled, eh? Kloseman No, I thought I might baild him a snow man. Catholic Standard and Times.

GLEANINGS.
It t at present an offense to speak tje Polish language in any public retort in Poland. Only 5 in each 1.000 English people own land. In Russia 140 out of every 1,000 are landowners. The report that the Suez Cau.il company intended to dfg another canal Is authoritatively denied. Lisbon has an anti-hand shaking society. Members who violate the rules are fined 2 shillings, and the money Is expended for lottery tickets for the benefit of the other members. Denmark, famous f or her great exportation of butter, has 500 cows to every 1,000 of her Inhabitants, and. If five heads are counted to a family, there are two and a half cows to every family. An American consul in China was much pleased because of the brisk demand for American trade catalogues. "I would especially like those with thick leaves," a cai'er said one day. This aroused the curiosity of the consul, and on investigation he found that the catalogues were wanted as lnsid? ! soles for shoes. Perfomed Poods. The food of the gods in the Greek Olympus Is described as sweeter than ! honey and of a most luscious fragrance; I also it was a restorative. Apollo, in the "Iliad," saves the body of Sarpedonis from putrefaction by. the application of ambrosia. In the "-Eneid" Venus heals the wounds of her son by this perfumed food, and it is said that Bernlce, wife of rtolemy Soter, tasted of it and was saved from death. The goddesses used it for the toilet when they wished to appear speciality captivatingJuno when she adorned herself to meet Jupiter, Venus when she presented herself to .Eneas and Psyche when her heart palpitated at the coming of Cupid, The Epicureans thought that perfume mixed with their wine enabled them to drink more plentifully without leaving ill effects. Not the Epicureans only, but the Bacchantes, mingled honey and a fragrant infusion of flowers in their wine cups. In the east perfumed sherbets are much appreciated, as well as highly scented cakes and lozenges. London Society. Checking- a Coaarh. . It Is not usually supposed that any exercise of the will power can be made efficient in checking a cough or a sneeze, but a celebrated doctor says sneezing can be stopped by pressing on the nerve of the lips in the neighborhood of the nose. Coughing may be stopped by slight pressure in front of the ear. This will also stop hiccoughing. Pressing very hard on the top of the mouth is also a means of stopping coughing, and many say the will alone has immense power. There are various other affections associated with breathing, which can be stopped by the same mechanism that stops the heart's action. In spasm of the glottis, which is a terrible thing in children, and also in whooping cough, it is possible to afford relief by throwing cold water on the feet or by tickling the soles of the feet, which produces laughter and at tha same time arrests tfe spasm almost cr once.superstition comes in to help bolster np the structure when common sense gives out. It is easy enough to originate a good Idea, but the trouble comes in when you try to get thick headed people to indorse it. Ind.
