According to Mr. Morgan's request Rt. Revs. David 11. Greer, William Lawrence and Chauncey B. Brewster, bishops respectively of the Episcopal diocese of New York. Massachusetts and Connecticut, officiated at the funeral services. The simple ritual of the Episcopal church was used with a few minor divergencies suggested by Mr. Morgan. Mr. Morgan’s request that the funeral chant of the Episcopal service, thirty-ninth and nineteenth psalms—beginning—“Lord, let me know my end and the number of my days”— should be intoned by the. choir as a processional chapter. Then followed the hymn. “Lead, Kindly Light.” the creed and the prayers and the singing of “Cavalry” by the negro soloist St. George’s choir. The recessional was the hymn “For All Thy Saints Who From Their Labors Rest.” The honorary pall bearers were George S. Bowdoin. Lewis Cass Ledyard. Robert W. De ■ Forest, Henry Fairfield Osborn, Joseph B. Choate, Robert Bacon. George F. Baker, Dr. T.ow, Morton S. Patton and Eljhu Root.

TROOPS CHARGE STRIKERS IN BUFFALO WITH GUNS Governor Sulzer Is Asked for 10,500 Soldiers—One Woman Is Fatally Shot. Buffalo, N. Y., April 11.—Continued rioting, in which several persons were shot or stabbed, by street car strikers and their Sympathizers, has caused a request to be made on Governor Sulzer for all the National Guard of the state, 10,000 men, be sent here to aid in keeping the peace. Officials of the International Railway company admitted on Wednesday that conditions are worse than at any time since the car men struck four days ago.

POPE IS STRONGER, CRISIS NOIPASSED Condition Better Than Any Time Since Relapse. OFFICIAL BULLETINS CEASE Physician Declares if No tyew Complications Arise Pontiff Will Soon Regain His Usual Rigor and Spirits. Rome, April 12.—rlmprovement in the condition of Pope Pius X. is so marked on Thursday it was declared that if no complications intervened his speedy recovery to normal health virtually was assured. There were signs of returning strength and patient was more cheerful. It was reported the pope left his bed for about half an hour and sat in an arm chair. When he again retired he appeared to be in the best of spirits and even showed a desire to take nourishment. The physicians at the Vatican have discontinued the official public bulletins concerning the pope’s health and the throng of eager watchers wnich have filled the square in front of the Vatican daily are now compelled to rely upon the expressions on the faces of the pope’s sisters for the latest information concerning the condition of the pontiff. After a visit to the pope. Professor Marchiafava said: “The crisis in the condition of the pope must now be considered over. The pontiff's robust physique has once more withstood all attacks and within a week he will be entirely convalescent. “As is already known, the pope suffered an attack of influenza a month ago. We considered that he had fully recovered from this attack when he suddenly contracted another cold, probably due, in part, to the severe cold weather of the past few days and also in part to the fact that the pontiff disregarded our instructions and exposed himself to' draughts and extreme cold. “The relapse was of . exactly the same nature as the attack of last month. No new complications have occurred and neither, have we observed alarming symptoms of any kind. The present troubles from which the pope is suffering are inherent in all persons of his age suffering from influenza, but I am .certain that they will disappear shortly and that Pope Pius will soon regain his usual vigor and charming good humor. “If our prescriptions are strictly adhered to, the relapse will leave no trace upon the health of the pope and he will soon be able to resume his usual mode of living.” DEATH SHOWS SPIRIT FALSE.

INTERNATIONAL siwsaiooi Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Eve»Ing Department The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR APRIL 20 JACOB’S MEETING WITH ESAU. • LESSON TEXT—Gen. 33:1-15. GOLDEN TEXT-“Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other even as God also in Christ forgave you.” Eph. 4:32 R. V. We are about to lose sight of Jacob, “a cheat.” and we shall hereafter consider Israel, “a prince.” While Jacob Is not so grand a character as Abraham nor so lovable as Isaac, yet he is much more like the average man. yhe story of his days of willing service for Rachel (29:20); of Laban's deception and of his prosperity In spite of Laban, can be fount! In chapters 29 and 30, while that of his return to Canaan is contained In chapters 31-35,. Though not included lit the selected portion of Scripture, we do not see how anyone can teach this lesson and omit the consideration of chapter 32. We therefore see before us (1) Jacob’s diplomacy, 32:1-8; (2) Jacob’s prayer, 32:9-12; (3) Jacob’s present to Esau. 32:13-23, and (4) Jacob’s wrestling, 32:24-32. A finger tip of God disabled Jacob, yet vanquished he Is victorious for God —the angel of Jehovah- tfas taken from this double-dealing, crafty child that which hindered all that was truest in hls life. Not by compelling but by yielding was Jacob enlarged; by submitting he found , the throne of power. So much iw preparation for the lesson of today. Not a Coward. ' I. The Approach—vv. 1-3. Jacob had just had a vision of God (32:30); why, then, should he fear the face of hls -brother? Even so, however, he continued his measures of precaution and separated his children into Leah and Rachel and sent the handmaids end their children ahead. Notice how he places his most loved In the rear of the procession which he himself led. Jacob was not a coward and, indeed, with his new-found power M had no -need to be. Before he had fled from the face of his angry brother, now with boldness, and yet with humility, he enters the presence of that same brother even thoftgh he had had no assurance as to the character of that meeting. 11. The Meeting—vv. 4-11. Twen-ty-one years had passed, days of great testing but of great blessing, before Jacob began this homeward journey.’ Jacob had learned the “upward look” (v. 1) and his prevailing prayer brought Esau to him in haste but not In anger. Now Esau lifts up hls eyes (v. 5) and beholds not the fugitive of old, but a transformed, prosperous and richly blessed brother. “Who are those with thee?” he asks, and Jacob at once acknowledges God as the giver and the blesser. (See 32:26; Jas. 1:17.) Jacob speaks of his children as God’s gracious gifts. Although this is everywhere the teaching of the Bible, yet how often is it the modern view, at least tn many circles of society. Following the children came the handmaids and their children, then Leah and her children, and last of all Rachel and Joseph. At once Esau inquires, as to those gifts Jacob had sent ahead (32: 13-21), and Jacob replies, “That I might find grace in the sight of my Lord.” It is well to notice that Esau refused this gift (v. 11) as a purchase price of reconciliation, though he later did accept when Jacob gave as a portion of that bounty with which God had blessed him. No more can we purchase our salvation though God is pleased with our gifts, which are the expressions of our love. It has been suggested that Esau was not overloath to accept Jacob’s gift and that as we review Esau’s character there is reason to suspect that Jacob's generous gift was a matter of policy. That when Esau should reflect upon Jacob’s former treatment of him and perhaps change his mind, this gift would serve to placate him. Jacob Astute. From the marginal reading we see that Jacob’s words when urging Esau to accept his gift were: “Because I have all.” Every child of God can truthfully say as much. (I Cor. 3:21; Phil. 4:18. 19; Rom. 8:31, 32.) Thus we see the astute Jacob who had so arranged his affairs as to make gifts or not as might be necessary is surprised, not as at Bethel when he met God, but to And that God had so moved upon the heart of his brother as to remove for a time at least al! danger. Let the leaders of the kingdom who are constantly seeking to arrange and to manipulate matters in - -the kingdom learn that usually ths hindrance is within themselves. God can only accomplish hls purposes through submitted souls. , 111. The Separation, vv. 12-15. We infer from a study of Esau’s life that Jacob did not deem it safe to make the proposed journey. “Discretion is the better part of valor.” God does not 'demand nor desire rashness and needless danger upon the part of hls children. Jacob gave a very astute and a perfectly truthful reason why they should separate, (v. 14.) Jacob was. however, considerate of hls children and of his flocks. What a suggestion we have in the words “I will lead on softly” (v. 14) of him wl® is our true Shepherd. Nor did Jacob need any of Esau’s proffered protection. (v. 15.) Did he not have God’s protecting care? There are three main teachings In this lesson, aside from those of the preceding chapter. (1) That in mat* ters of supreme importance in the life of any man God is interested and ready to lend his assistance. Jacob ready to lend his assistance. (J) There is the lesson that while men with anxiety seek to make plans for the Kingdom it is only as they fully commit themselves to him and allow him to dominate and to guide win they spell success in their lives. i

VfteQRIES BATTLE AT SAVAGE STATION Part the United States Artillery Took In That Fight—General Sumner Led Brigade Himself. I was a member of Battery A, 4th U. S. Artillery, and was in the seven days’ battle. When we just left the breastworks, our supply depot was burning. We continued on to the peach orchard, about one-half mile from there, writes Rody Landugan, Battery A, 4th U. S. Artillery, of Greenwood, Cal., in 'the-' National Tribune. We went in battery, and tea minutes after taking our position we saw three rebel brigades advancing. We fired about twenty rounds of canister at them and repulsed them several times. We had no infantry support then, as It had gone on to Savage station. De had to limber up, as they were flanking us. We came on a gallop to' Savage station, where we met General Sumner and the Irish brigade. , Sumner said: “Hazzard, you have done well. Take a position here, and hold it until you/get orders from me.” . Sumner led the brigade himself at Savage station, and in less than ten minutes he was coming back, the enemy being too strong for him to hold his position. We stayed at Savage station all night, as we got no orders from General Sumner to retire. When our captain got up in the morning and saw we were surrounded by the enemv, he said, “They have sacrificed my battery to save themselves. ’’ and. calling to the men to stand to gun, commenced to fire. We fired about six rounds, then limbered up and went on a gallop to White Oak swamp. The bridge was burning when we got there. Our captain led the way across the burning bridge, and we all got safely across. We went into battery with the Irish brigade to support us. We commenced to cook our breakfast, and about the time our meal was being eaten two batteries opened on us. A stampede followed of the pontoon wagons, sutler’s* wagons, baggage trains—most everything was driven front the field but our battery and the Irisml brigade. In the stampede our cohorns and the majority of our men were taken away. We still had the six guns and the limber chest. The captain, General Meagher and myself manned one piece. Tlio captain was wounded, and gave orders to the battery to retire. The Irish brigade was then retreating. Our battery and the Irish brigade were all that were engaged at Peach Orchard. Savage Station and White Oak swamp. After our captain was wounded I took him to a white Jiouse in the rear of the battlefield, where we had to leave him. There he wrote a note to General Lee, telling me to take it to the road and nail it to a tree. He gave me hls pocket handkerchief, telling me to wait there until I saw a rebel and wave the handkerchief at him and point to the tree.I think Captain Hazard was a graduate of the same class at West Point as General Lee. We heard afterward that General Lee had him sent to Richmond In an ambulance. He was exchanged after he got well. No braver man ever commanded men than Hazzard. He Didn’t Get ft. In 1863, after the fall of Vicksburg, a man came to President Lincoln seeking an office. He had known Lincoln in the early ’sos, but had drifted south. He claimed to have always been a Union man. although compelled to hide his sentiments until Vicksburg fell. He wanted an office and a good one, and he was very important. “John.” said Mr. Lincoln, “when I was a young man I was invited to a dance. I remember that I bought a good new hat for the occasion, and I was very proud to wear it to the dance. Well, I enjoyed myself so much that I stayed very late, about the last, one to leave, and as I was ready to go I said to the man who had charge of the coats and hats: ‘Zach, I wish you would bring me my hat.’ He brought me an old hat that had been worn for a long time. “This isn't my hat; I wore a new one,’ said I. ‘But, Mr. Lincoln,' said' he, ’the new ones were all gons two hour* ago.’ ” Politics In Wartime. “Is Aiderman Clancy a friend of your family ?” asked Mrs. Flynn. “He is not,” answered Mrs. Groogan. “Before eliction he promised to git me b’y Patsy a Government job,, and after the eliction he directed m* boy to a recruiting office.” Why Pat Refused. “Why don’t you carry a knapsack.
