same position it now occupies, where It
will remain until time for the funeral Sun
day afternoon.

Canton at 6:25 o'clock Sunday morning,
and will be entertained at the home of
Governor Durbln during his stay In In
dianapolis. It Is understood the Presiden
tial party will leave for "Washington via

The Columbia Club and the leading
hotels of the city are making extensive

distinguished visitors who -will attend the
funeral. Charles Foster, Secretary of the
Treasury; General Benjamin F. Tracy,
Secretary of the Navy, and John TVana

son Administration, will arrive tomorrow.
L. T. MIchner, of Washington, D. C, who
-was chairman of the Republican State
Committee during Mr. Harrison's first
campaign for the Presidency, will be a
guest of the Columbia Club.
Numerous telegrams and messages of
sympathy were received today by Mrs.
Harrison, and many friends called In per
son to offer condolences. Mrs. Harrison
saw only one or two intimate friends.
All of the relatives who are expected to
attend the funeral are now In the city,
except Lieutenant-Commander and Mrs.
John F. Parker. They are on their way
from California, and are expected to
reach Indianapolis tomorrow afternoon.
Carter B. Harrison, the second brother,
arrived from his home at Murfreesboro,
Tenn., this morning.
Admiral George Brown, on behalf of the
Loyal Legion, sent a beautiful silk flag
bearing the emblem of the Legion, and It
-will be placed over the casket. It will
not be removed until just as the body is
lowered into the grave. Numerous other
offerings of respect were received.
The first 15 minutes in the public schools
today were devoted to suitable talks by
the teachers on the life and public serv
ices of General Harrison, by recommenda
tion of the School Superintendent. In
many of the schools the address that
General Harrison made the school children
of Terre Haute when they visited the
Statehouse, February 31, -was read.
At a largely attended meeting of the
most prominent people of Indiana at the.
Columbia Club tonight, addresses were
"made by Judge "Woods, of the United
States Circuit Court, and others. A me
morial was adopted -which had been pre
pared by a committee of the club, com
posed of General Lew "Wallace, A. N.
"Walker, Daniel Ransdell, Admiral George
Brown and others. The memorial, after
reciting the principal events of President
Harrison'6 Ifie, says:
"In April, 1S96, General Harrison mar
ried Mrs. Mary Lord Dlmmick, who be
came his beloved companion, brightening
the years of his life. The marriage -was
blessed by the birth of a daughter, Eli
zabeth, who -was her father's playmate
until his illness.
"In the Fall of 1896 General Harrison
took an active part for the last time In a
political campaign. 'His memorable speech
In Carnegie Hall, New York, in behalf
at the principle of sound money and In
advocacy of Mr. McKlnley's election, was.
the greatest Intellectual contribution to
the campaign, and his series of speeches
throughout Indiana convinced the minds
and -won ihe'hearts o'f the voters of the
Middle West.
"In the last two years of his life. Gen
eral Harrison gave public expression of
opinion in current politics and questions
of government which have attracted uni
versal attention and commanded world
wide respect. Although he was always a
loyal Republican and saw nothing attrac
tive In Democracy, he claimed and ex
ercised the right of freedom of speech,
believing that In general debate the truth
can best be found and established.
Though entirely out of practical politics,
he became a commanding leader in a
school of thought somewhat out of line
with the prevailing view of his party. He
defended as a matter of law and morals
the proposition that our Government is
and of right ought to be, here and every
where, a government of limited powers.
He opposed the development of executive
power and discretion at the expense of
the legislative and popular branch of
government, detecting in this, as he be
lieved, a vicious tendency. He defended
the historic ground of International law.
that the weakest nation on earth had
rights to independence and self-govern
ment equal to those of the strongest na
tion. He urged with tremendous power
the doctrine that the moral law Is bind
ing in all Its fullness upon antlons as
upon Individuals. He gave to the strug
gling Boer his moral sympathy and he
withheld not his opinion that Cuba should
be entitled to independence."
The funeral services at the First Presby
terian Church will be of a simple charac
ter. Dr. Haines, pastor of the church,
will have charge of the exercises, and will
be assisted by Rev. Samuel J. Nichols, of
St. Louis. The hymns which will be sung
have not yet been selected. The pro
gramme follows: Hymn by the choir.
Scripture sentences and invocation by Dr.
Haines, Scripture lesson by Dr. Nichols,

occupy more than 10 mlms, and will be
In accord with the "vvhqjKlan of the fu
-"oral. Dr. Nichols, wlBwill assist him
in the services, has been a close friend of
General Harrison for the last five years.

Levi P. 3Iorton' Tribute.
ROME, March 15. Ex-VIce-Presldent
Levi P. Morton, in an Interview referring
to the death of General Harrison, said:
"The country has sustained a great loss
in the death of General Harrison. With
his intellectual and physical forces unim
paired, there still remained many avenues
in which he might have continued to ren
der valuable service to the country which
ne served so well. My official and per
sonal relations with General Harrison
during his term as President were natur
ally of an intimate character. I believed
then, as I do now, that he was the peer
intellectually of any one who has held
the office of President of the United
States."
CANADA'S TIMBER AND OURS
Danger of XeBlectlngr to Protect
Forests. i
New York Press.
When Tennyson wrote In his poem to
Princess Alexandrovna "The loyal pines
of Canada murmur thee," most of us
who had seen the "Lake of the Woods"
marked on the map of Canada were con
firmed In the delusion that Canada, like
ourselves, had forests to burn. It has
in fact been characteristic of the conti
nent, from Dawson City to Nicaragua,
where house farms are built of mahog
any, planed with planes backed with
rosewood, to be wasteful of timber. You
would think that every state had an
Oriental Yogi, to make trees grow up
In a few minutes. If you judged by the
prodigality in the use of sawmills. Can
ada has already seen her danger, and Is
providing against a treeless future. The
experimental farms of the Dominion
Government have for some years en
couraged tree-planting by farmers, and
it Is now purposed that the different
provinces shall encourage forest re
newal by establishing provincial for
estry departments and employing
trained foresters from Germany, which
is the country most advanced in this
science. The 210 forestry departments
into which India Is divided are officered
by experts from Germany and France,
and in both India and Germany the gov
ernment derives a large revenue from
the forests every year. Government
permits are necessary before one can
graze his cattle, cut timber, make char
coal or gather firewood, bamboos or
canes In India.
Hitherto in this country, as well as in
Canada, little attention has been paid to
the question whether certain land would
not be more useful to the community as
a perpetual timber reserve than as
cleared agricultural land. There is
woodland that would make fine farm
land, and bare land that is almost-useless
for other crops in the present state
of agricultural science but that would
grow trees. There should be a gradual
distribution of land among the objects
for which it is locally adapted, and by
what may be called induclve legislation
this may be done without any approach
to confiscation or state ownership.
Timber land that would make first-class
farm land should bo cleared for that
purpose, but there should be an organ
ized social consciousness and governmen
tal efficiency that could require that an
equivalent m the form of land less suit
able for farming and more suitable for
timber be set off at the same time as a
counterbalances timber reserve. This
could be accomplished by making a cer
tain acreage of percentage of forest land
a condition of every land grant to farm
ers; by giving favoring differentials In
the taxation of timber land and by other
devices that would make it selfishly In
teresting to the settler to guard and In
crease his timber domain
PROMOTIONS IN THE NAVY
SECRETARY LOXG'S ORDER TO
PREVENT INTERFERENCE.
Advancement for Gallant Service
"Will Not Be Allowed to Interfere
With Regular Promotions.
WASHINGTON, March 15. Secretary
Long today rendered a decision on that
feature of the recent enactment of Con
gress promoting officers for gallant serv
ice and providing that the promotion of
those officers shall not interfere with the
regular flow of promotions. The effect of
this promises to be very far-reaching, for
in effect the additional names make a
large Increase In the Navy. For Instance
the Rear-Admirals are Increased from IS
to at least 2L with prospects of further
increase, while the Captains, numbering
about 50, may be increased, from 60 to 75.
So it runs all through the naval list. The
decision today more particularly referred
to certain officers whose cases served as
a sort of test of the construction of the
entire law. Mr. Long holds that the ad
ditional officers are not to be so regarded
until they reach the higher grade to
which they are promoted. The effect of
this is to make Rear-Admiral Higginson
an additional officer of that grade from
the date of the act.' Captain Edward M.
Shapard, beihg at the head of the Cap
tains' list, is promoted to the grade of
Rear-Admiral. The Bureau of Navigation
had urged that Captain Frank Wildes
should be promoted simultaneously with
Captain Shepard, but Secretary Long
holds that Captain Wildes must await
a vacancy In the list of Rear-Admirals.
For similar reasons, the Secretary holds
that Lieutenant-Commander W. B. Bailey
cannot be promoted under a clause of the
act. Tho Secretary lays down the gen
eral principle that the purpose of the law
was not to have promoted officers ad
vanced for war services, but to prevent
Interference with promotions. It Is held
also that Colonel R. W. Huntington,
United States Marine Corps, Is unaffected
by the act.
Gold In the Treasnry.
WASHINGTON, March 15. The gross
gold In the treasury yesterday amounted
to 54S2.913.023, compared with $41C.21S,209
at the same period last war. Yoctnr.
day's figures break all records. The in
crease in the gold holdings of the depart
ment durintr the venr hnc hnn rr cqj
S14. The prospect Is that the gold hold
ings win continue to Increase at the
rate of probably J5.000.000 a month until
the new revenue law goes into effect.
The amendments to this bill will re
duce the treasurv recelnts nhmit iwi
000.000 a year, but Treasurer Robert's
tninks tnat tnis will only serve to check
the growth of the gold holdings. He does
not believe that the decrease in the re
ceipts will diminish the amount of gross
gold.
Sanger Held "a Reception.
WASHINGTON, March 15. Colonel
William Carey Sanger's first day In the
office of Assistant Secretary of War was
marked by a most unusual military dem
onstration. By order of the Secretary,
all the officers of the Army stationed
in this city were requested to appear at
the War Department at 10 o'clock In
uniform, for the purpose of being pre
sented to the new Assistant Secretary.

BRINGING HOME VOLUNTEERS
Arangcmcnts For Supplying- Their
Places "With Regulars.
WASHINGTON, March 15. The officers
of the Adjutant-General's and Quarter
master's Departments are devoting their
attention to the sending of regular troops
to the Philippines to replace the volun
teers brought home. The main object of
the officials Is to prevent any material
decreases in General MacArthur's army
of CO.000. There are about 40,000 regular
troops In the Orient, Including those in
China. In order to keep the strength up
to C0.0O0, it will be necessary to provide
about 20,000 fresh troops from the United
States before July 1.
The transports Meade and Pennsyl
vania will leave San Franplsco In a day
of two with battalions of the Fifth Cav
alry and the five new regiments. Ar
rangements have also been mado for the
departure of other vessels as follows:
The Buford, with a capacity of 61 of
ficers and 1000 men, on the 25th Inst.; the
Hancock, 54 officers and 1060 men, on
April 1; Kirkpatrick, 61 officers and 1000
men, April 5; Warren, 42 officers and 1242
men, April 12, and Logan, 86 officers and
164S men, April 15. These vessels will be
laden with regular troops, consisting of
newly organized regiments or of home
battalions of regiments serving in the
West Indies or the Philippines.
Satisfactory progress is reported In the
transportation of volunteer troops from
the Philippines to San Francisco. Sev
eral transparts are now at different
stages of their voyage across the Pacific,
Including the Logan, with the Thirty
third and Thirty-fourth Infantry, and
the Garonne with the Twenty-sixth In
fantry. According to the schedule so far
as arranged, other vessels will leave
Manila for home as follows: The Thomas
on the ICth Inst., with the Twenty-eighth
and Thirty-fifth Infantry; the Roe
crans on the ICth inst. with the Thirty
ninth Infantry, and the Grant on the
25th Inst, with the Twenty-ninth and
Thirty-second Infantry. The transporta
tion arrangements at both ends of the
line have not yet been finally completed
beyond the dates mentioned. The of
ficials of the department are confident
of their ability to execute the plan of
discharging the entire volunteer army In
the United States before July 1 next,
not materially reducing the number and
effectiveness of the forces In the Phil
ippines. Another Philippine Judgeship.

CONVICTS DRAW SALARIES.
Skilled Laborers "Well Paid lr
Contractors.
There is a side to convict life In Georgia
comparatively little known to people gen
erally, but one that Is quite Interesting,
says the Atlanta Constitution. Some of
Georgia's convicts draw salaries. It
sounds strange that a man convicted of
crime against the state, against his fel
lowman. should be paid for the service
he is rendering as -expiation or atone
ment for his malicious error. But there
are .several men in Georgia's convict
camps whom the lessees are glad to com
pensate for their services, though they
are entitled to them for the $99 a year
which they pay the state for their hire.
It Is not, of course, the ordinary, illit
erate and unintelligent convict who Is
thus remunerated. He Is of no more value
than the manual labor he can be made to
do through a plenteous supply of stomach
fuel and the urging of the taskmaster.
Tho lessee gets more than value received
even in this. He gets an able-bodied la
borer at greatly reduced wages. But the
intelligent convict and they are compara
tively few is valuable in other ways. It
is the experienced bookkeeper, the bank
clerk, the accountant, who, having gone
astray, gets Into the clutches of the law.
Is valuable to the lessee. It Is a very
well-known fact that this class of con
victs Is not called upon to do manual
labor; they are used for office work, and
the public generally remarks, "Well, he's
got a soft berth, even If hie Is In the peni
tentiary." tl Is not commonly known, however, that
not a few of this class of convicts re
ceive salaries from the lessees for their
services, and In some Instances when
their terms expire they have been known
to have nice little cash balances laid
aside. It used to be the practice in the
coal mines to pay each convict so much
per ton for all coal taken out above the
amount required each day, and sometimes
long-term negro convicts would leave the
mines with $200 or J300, or more. In their
pockets. It is somewhat on the same
principle that intelligent office men arc
remunerated for their services In addi
tion to the price paid the state for their
hire. There are several such convicts now
In the penitentiary. While serving their
sentences they have little need for cash,
and It. Is generally laid up against Cha
time when they receive their freedom.
A story is told of a convict now serving
In the Georgia penitentiary who unfor
tunately missed a good thing of this kind,
though he may yet get a soft place where
he will be paid a salary for his knowledge
of books and accounts. George W. Haupt
was sent to the penitentiary from Savan
nah for ten years, having been convicted
on several charges of embezzlement.
Haupt was one of the most experienced
accountants In Savannah, and In that ca
pacity commanded a high salary. The
'lessees. It Is saidwere not aware of his
THE SPRING MED
Hoods S
In thousands and thousands of homes, in cities, towns and vil
lages, three doses a-day of this great medicine are now being taken
by every member of the family.
In some homes, even the visitor is given a teaspoonful with
every meal.
Why such wide and general use ? Because
Hood's Sarsaparilla has proved itself by its wonderful effects
in cleansing the system of all humors, overcoming that tired feeling,
creating appetite, clearing the complexion, giving strength and anima
tion, the best of all Spring medicines, so that it is par excellence the
Spring Medicine.
Take it.
"I was attacked by what I regarded a
cancerous affection of the tongue. I also
bad a tired, run-down and worn-out feel
ing. I bought half a dozen bottles of Hood's
Sarsaparilla, and by the time I had taken
them I was well, and eo remain. But I
always keep Hood's in the house, and when
I feel in need of a tonic I take it." I also
keep Hood's Olive Ointment, Hood's Pills
and Hood's Medicated Soap in the house,
and think they have no equal as family
medicines." George Hadsell, Box 91, Mil

Accept no
value in this respect when he was turned
'over to the penitentiary authorities. -The
'prison commission sent him to the camp
of G. S. Baxter fe Co , at Fargo, In Clinch
County, where he Is still located.
It was not long after this that, learn
ing what a valuable accountant Haupt
Is, the officials of the Chatahoochee
Lumber Company, in Decatur County,
made application for him. They offered
to furnish a cottage for himself and his
family and to pay him J100 a month dur
ing his term In the penitentiary, if the
penitentiary authorities would assign him
to them. Therewas some correspondence
with the Fargo people. about him, and
they refused to give him up. They stated
they had had considerable trouble with
Haupt when he first came to the camp.
Just what the nature of this trouble was
was not stated, though, being a some
what high-strung man, he was no doubt
rather obstinate In his disinclination to go
to work. The Fargo people had. finally
got things to going smoothly, and them
selves discovered what a valuable man
he was In office work. The result was a
peremptory refusal to part with him. The
penitentiary oMJcials did not feel like
taking him away, as they could do by as
serting their authority, and there he re
mains. There have been several instances re
cently where lessees have paid such con
victs 525 or $50 a month, but the offer of
a home and $100 a month for Haupt was
something rather unusual.

It Is said that the best footmates of
the 13th century were William and Mary
Howltt, the writers of so many charming
bits of literature. They began to walk
on their wedding day, and kept on walk
ing during nearly 60 years of married
life.
In 1824. when walking was far from
fashionable, this sturdy Quaker pair
walked 500 miles among the Scotch Moun
tains, carrying necessary luggage on their
strong young backs. They climbed Ben
Lomond, waded 3treams, crawled over
bogs, scrambled through bracken and slid
down sheer defiles in the course of thH
wild tramp. Doubtless the peasants
fancied they were mad.
In the 61st year of their married life.

"I feel very grateful for what Hood's Sar
saparilla has done for my family. My wife
was troubled with scrofula and impure
blood. She tried many prescriptions with
out benefit, and finally being advised by a
friend to try Hood's Sarsaparilla she did so,
and before she had finished the first bottle
she was greatly relieved. She has now taken,
two bottles, and is improving very rapidly,
thanks to Hood's Sarsaparilla." J. "W.
Schnur, Laurel. Or.
"J was subject to that tired feeling, and
suffered from headaches and a prickly heat.
After taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I was com
pletely relieved of all these troubles, and
since that time I have been in the best of
health. I cannot praise Hood's Sarsaparilla
too highly, and I heartily indorse it." H.
W. Black, 1630 N. 21st St, Omaha, Neb.
"Hood's Sarsaparilla has helped me won
derfully. I am 17 years old, and for six
months my face has bothered me by break
ing out with pimples, which were very dis
tressing. Thanks to Hood's Sarsaparilla,
they have now all disappeared." Miss Lau
'ra Huntington, Castle Creek, "Wash,
substitute for Hood's Sarsaparilla.
when Mrs. Howltt was more than 70
and her husband almost SO, they started
out one Summer morning to climb an
Alp of the Tyrol. From tho village of
Taufcrs they climbed a road too steep
for vehicles, walking, steadily for five
hours.
At dusk they came to a farmer's chalet;
there they were cordially Invited to sup
per, and there for two nights they slept
on the sweet, fresh hay In the barn and
employed the days in twice climbing to
the mountain top.
An excursion which had been planned
for William Howltt's birthday, after he
had passed his 80th year, was reluctantly
abandoned because of the rain. A year
or two later his wife wrote:
"Father and I have just come In from
a pleasant walk right into the country,
amongst picturesque houses and such an
cient orchards and parklike fields scat
tered over with grand old Spanish chest
nuts." Mr. Howitt died in 1S79, aged 84 years.
For a few years more his faithful foot
made took quiet strolls and gathered the
flowers her husband loved. And when she
had lived to see S3 years she gently fell
asleep.

On twinkling wings they eddy past.
At home amid the drifting'.
Or seek the hllla and weedy fields
Where fast the snow la sitting:.
Their coats are dappled white and brown
Like fields im Winter weather.
But on the azuretsky they float
Like snowflakes knit together.
I've heard them on the spotless hills
"Where fox and. hound were plajlng;
And while I stood with eager ear
Bent on the distant haying.
, The -unmown fields are their preserves,
"Where weedfe and grass are seeding;
They know tho lure- of distant stacks
"Where houseless herds are feeding.
O cheery bird of Winter cold,
I bless thy every feather;
Thy voice brings back dear boyhood 'days
