Covington, was borne out from the home of Dr. F. P- Covington by pall bearers, Dr. B. Rutledge, W. J. Brown, C. D. Bristow, U. S. Rose, William Dar- by|and £. D. Rogers and deposited iu s the hearse, whith was followed by sorrowing loved ones and sym pathetic friends to the Baptist Church. Rev. H. R. Moseley efli- ciated in the funeral servicer. Af ter the reading of scriptural selec tions the choir rendered that old time honored hymn ‘‘I would not live alway,” with the chorus of “HomeSweet Home,’’softly tender ing and in keeping with the sol emn occasion. Tha subject of Mr. Moseley was “The Future Life.” “For we know when this earthly eternal in the heavens.” » His ideal of heaven was going home to meet loved ones gone on before and the happy welcome we shall receive from those who await our coming, a rest for care, sorrows, pain and tear*, where all is j«y, peace and love, an unending song of praise to him who died for us. When the funeral procession reached Mt. Hope cemetery the open grave in the family, plot, where her kindrfd sleep, received the loved form of her whose life was one of devotion to husband, children and friends, and loving obedience to her creator and bene factor. As the grave was being filled sweet roices sung. “Nearer my God to Thee,” an 1 as the last rays of the setting sun shed a dying flood of light over the scene, loving hands covered Inr grave with sweet fl >wers and silently departed for home with sad and heavy hearts. ‘•Wliat is life?” A little while of patient waitingat the door. * “And Death?” The opening of the portal to the Ever more. “What is life?” A book all blots and stains wherein we learn to write— And death?” Death closes it, and brings another clean and white. “What is life?” A psalm of praise to some, a glad and happy song, “And death?” A pause before the burst of chorus sweetand strong. “What is life?” A journey long, a weary road and blis tered feet. “And death?” The journey ended, home at last and welcome sweet.” HEALTH OF HAVANA. I>ecllne of Yellow Fever Aej-ouuled for by the Pretence of Other Deadly l>i*en»e*. Washington, September 19.— In his weekly report to the marine hospital service Sanitary luspeo* tor Brunner, at Havana, says that for the week ended September 9 there were 32G deaths, of which 15 were from yellow foyer, 29 from enteric fevers, 3 from dysentery and 55 from enteritis. Xhe in spector says that decline in deaths from yellow fever is only apparent, many deaths from that disease, he thinks, being placed under the head of enteritis and enteric fever. At the same time there are not as many casej yellow fever in the military pitals as there were two monf ago, the soldiers who are oared for in the elsewhere. For two weeks, 1 cording to the city mortality ports, no deaths from yellot have occurred in the city (Vper. This condition, he says, doW not exist. The enormous death rate from enteritis and dysentery, the inspeq tor says, is the result of lack of nutritous food, and the deaths from these diseases have not yet reached high water mark. Unless the laws are so amended as to ad mit certain important food pro ducts, npne but the favored few will be able to obtain nutritious food. Even at the time all fresh meats command prices above the reach of the lower a Fuses, while lireadstuffs are portionately high. I have not had suflicient time to push an investigation of th«: number of cases of beuberi amoL the Cl®amen here. It is certail that no city can show a more i| viting presence to epidemic ease than the city of Havana. A»C»rd.
