In this way greatly aided by th ambi
turn ol th grocer, to tell a

tha label, especially when tha grocer
can make an abnormal profit upon it.
Many grocer, doubtless, do not know
that the powder they are thu pushing
are alum powder which would be act

It is quite Impossible ta give th

BURIAL. OF SPANISH RULERS.
Weird Ceremonial Cutoin Prescribed
fur Royal Obseqalee.
Strange and almost weird i the cere
monial which acoompaniea the burial
ot Spanish king. The pantheon, or
royal tomb, ia at the palace of Kscurial,
situated 8,000 feet above tb level ol
the sea aud some distance from the
capital. Only kings, queens and moth
rs of kings aro buried there, the coffins
ot th kings lying ou one side, and those
of the queen on the other. A Iter lying
in tat tor several day in the throne
room in Madrid, aay the San Francisco
Argonaut, an enormous procession is
formed accompanying the body to the
Escuriul. A halt I made on tha way
and the corpse rests there for oue night.
In the moruing the lord high chatnbei
lain stands at the aide ot the coffin and
say iu loud tone: "I your majesty
pleased to proceed on your journey?'
After a abort silence the procession
moves on aud winds up to tha grand
portal of the palace. These door are
never opeued except to admit a royal
persouage, dead or alive. When the
casket containing the remains la at last
placed in the vault the chamberlain
unlock it and, kneeling down, call
with a loud voice: "Seuorl Senorl
Seuoi I" After a solemn pause be cries
again: "Hi majesty does not reply.
Then it is true the king I dead I"- 1
then lock the coffin, give th key to
the prior (the palace ot the Esourial
contains also a large monastry aud the
church) and, taking his staff of office,
breaks it in pieces and flings thein at
the oasket. The booming ot gun and
the tolling of bell announce to the
nation that the king ha gone to hi
dual resting plaeo.

A man waa traveling over au Alpine

until ho was aweary . High on the
summit of the pass a desire to sleep
overcame him. He could hardly put
ouo foot before another. Just as be
was almost sinking down into the Bleep
which would have proved the sleep ot
death to him, he struck his foot against
an obstacle which proved to be the
body of a traveler who had preceded
him. lie bent down, found that the
heart had not ceased to beat and began
at once to rub the trozeu limbs and to
do bis best to reanimate the body. In
his effort he wa successful. He saved
the man' life; and, in tha effort, he
banished hi own desire to sleep and so
saved hi own life in saving another.

"Pretoria, Jane 6. Just be for dark

"Shortly hefor midnight 1 wa

a letter from Botha proposing an
armistice for the purpose of settling

"I replied that 1 would gladly meet

to discuss any terms, aa the surrender
of tbe town must be unconditional. I
asked for a reply by daybreak, as 1 had

"In hi reply, Bohta told m he bad

WAR IS NOW ON.
Admiral KempA Reports That Flgbtlug
Has Commenced.
Washington, June 7. The secretary
of the navy received the following
cablegram from Admiral Kempff, com
manding the Newark, lying at Taka
fort at the mouth of the Pei Ho river,
dated Taku, June 7:
Engsgemeut has commenced. Hava
landed a force ol 60 seamen mora .
. . . battalion of marines.
"KEMPFF."
The break in the admiral' cable
gram ia caused by an illegible group of
figures. Regarded in one light, it
would seem that the Newark ba land
ed 60 sailors to reinforce the marine
already ashore, and in another respect
the gap might be read to state that 60
sailors had been landed with another
battalion of marinea. However that
may be, the admiral's news ia regarded
a of the utmost gravity. Secretary
Long ha cabled him to aend his mes
sages hereafter in plain English, in
order to avoid further misunderstand''
logs and delay in transmitting the
dpber.
The state department ha received a
cablegram from Minister Conger, at
Peking, stating that matters hav
taken a much more serious turn there.
No dotails are given, but it is indicated
that the Boxers' activity ia extending
my close tothe Chinese capital. At
the oabinet meeting today, Secretary
Hay read the cablegram from Minister
Conger. The minister will be given
wide discretion in dealing with thes
new conditions.
HOT WORDS IN THE HOUSE.
Approaching Clo.e of tha
Betsloa
Warmed Up Member.
Washington, June 7. Th house
entered the throes of dissolution today,
and all day aud all evening tbe gal
leries were crowded. Tbe picturesque
inoidents were few. Partisan passion
rnnning high in the face of the impend
ing presidential campaign broke out
Beveral times during the afternoon,
and hot wordn were bandied across the
political aisle. Hull (Rep. Ia.) and
Lenti (Dem. O.) crossed words, and
later Grosvenor (Rep. O.) and Gainea
(Dem. Tenn.) had a lively enoounter.
Throughout the day at every opportu
nity there was a play for political ad
vantage, and taunt and challenge wero
bandied back and forth. But all this
was merely incidental to the work of
crowding through the big supply bills
which had the right of way. During
the Interim between the consideration
of conference reports, member clam
ored like madmen iu the wheat pit on
a panic day for recognition ot private
bills, upon which their politioal sal
vation might depend. .
At the night session tbe galleries
were thronged witn gaily arrayed
women, and tho floor waa a veritable
bedlam. Hour after hour the con
ferees struggled on with their reports,
the speaker, firm and resolute, steering
the house through the turmoil and con
fusion. Toward midnight the galleries
thinned out, but the tired legislators,
with the prospects of an all night ses
sion ahead, remained iu their places,
getting what comfort they could from
the knowledge that tomorrow the end
would oome.
