The French say "it is the impossibl

the case with the Mount I.ebano

has been laboring to cure dyspepsii
but every etl'ort seemed to meet wit
defeat. The suffering from stomac
troubles has become almost universa
Multitudes have no desire for fooi
and that which they do eat cause
^ them pain and distress. Sleepies
nights are the rule and not the ex
ception, and thousands of sufferer
have become discouraged.
The Shakers of Mount Lebanon re
cently came to the front with the!

C city hall. In accordance with a teleP
fjram from Postmaster General (iary,
v the local postoflice was also closed.
W When the cortege tiled into the
V church at 5:10 the whole town had as- 1
sumed a funeral air. The streets were!
d. deserted to attend the funeral. As
? the bell tolled the large crowd tilled j
the church. Fully thirty minutes be- I
1 fore the party arrived from the resi- !
I deuce the big church was tilled, and
id hundreds of people were turned away j
r, for lack of room.
When the funeral party arrived at j
the church the crowds on the sidewalk i
2 bowed their heads. The casket was j
10 laden w ith a number of very be&Uti-1
t- fill and elegant tloral designs.
Soft strains broke from the organ in
a minor key, the music seeming to
throb in sympathy with the sorrow ing
family.
r" The services was simple, in deferp
ence to the expressed sent iinests of the
rh deceased Senator, but in this it wasel*
egant. The choir, consisting of Mrs.
? .1. K. Ueattie, Mrs. i>. a. Morgan and |
Jd Mrs. William Hill, rendered music i
!8. beautiful ill its softness and ^'inplicit y.
"I would not live always" and "Asleep
in Jesus," were the hymns sung, j
These, with two short appropriate
prayers and a few scripture selections
jy constituted the ceremony, which was j
only thirty-live minutes long. The
*' pastor, Kev. l)r. (J. S. Gardner, spoke
as follows :
We stand under the over-shadowing
mystery of death, a mystery which no
n" human philosophy has been able to re\y
lieve of its glooin. In this instance its
ce darkness has been intensified by the
peculiar circumstances in which the
? stroke lias fallen. A noble and bril-|
limit life has been cut short in thei
K hour of its supreme usefulness. We ,
E>p thank God that there rests upon it no I
w stain of dishonor. In it truth has not
been sacrificed and courage has not
faltered. Death has put a period to a
career in the vicissitudes of which
there has been consistently inaintain'K
ed a bearing which suggests in tlie j
g, fullness of its original meaning that
lit"* old designation, gentleman, lie |
feared (iod and no man: h- loved
rightousness and scored every mean
?t thing; he trusted the Lord Jesus
of Christ, and was considerate of his
fellow man; he gave his distinI
guished abilities in faithful service to
| his country. He had a high and worin
| thy ambition, ami rose by patient,per)V
severing ell'ort from the comnmii
^ ! walks of life to the highest honor in
' | the gift of his State, and died in the
j fullness of his powers. Hut out of reg.
spent to his known wishes I cannot ex!
tend these remarks. His record is before
God and before man. It is for
I God to judge. It is for us to cherish
16 [ precious memories and to be stirred
s. | by bis example t?> high endeavor; and
in the sorrow which we cannot but
j feel to listen not to the vain speech of
in man, but to the words of Him who
It | speaks out of the I'liseen and Kternal
>?1 with inlinite knowledge and power
' and love, and whose voice alone can
! tiring comfort and peace to broken
| hearts."
O- In the procession to the cemetery
ye j there were thirty-eight carriages, and
>0 about t wo t lion sand attendants follow |
ed on foot. The interment was in
111 | ("hrist ( Kpiscopal i ('einetery. The ser10
j vices were concluded at the grave by
the singing of "Nearer, My God, to
Thee," and a short prayer by I?r.
