uvx'm&GToirs body takes' to
JfEW TORK.
The Funeral, WMca Will Be Prl-
-rate, Will Be Held Friday Morn-
ine The Cause of Death.
EW TORK. Aug. 15. The body of
CoIIis P. Huntington, -who died Monday
at his lodge in the Adirondack Moun
tain, -was, brought to this city today .on
a special train over tbe New York Cen
tral Hallway, reaching: the Grand Central
station at 4:35 o'clock. The body now rests
in Its casket In the library of the Hunt
ington house, at 2 East Forty-seventh
street, where It was taken directly from
the station. The funeral service. It has
been announced, will be strictly private,
and held at 11 o'clock Friday morning.
Other details concerning the funeral have
not yet been decided upon, and will be
made public later.
In the party which accompanied the
body to this city from Racquette Lake,
where the millionaire's Summer home
was situated, wore Mrs. Huntington, the
Widow; Charles M. Huntington, the adopt
ed son. and his wife: Miss C. M. Camp
bell, a life-lone: friend of Mrs. Hunting
ton; Mansfield Hlllhouse and Mrs. Hill
house, sister of Mrs. Huntington; Isaac
E. Gates, brother-in-law of the deceased
and a very close confidential advi6er;
George E. Mills, private secretary, and
William E. Coley, who were guests at
the camp.
When the train drew Into the station
and the party left their special car, Mrs.
Huntington, wearing deep mourning and
heavily veiled, and leaning on the arm
of Mr. Gates, was escorted to the family
carriage, waiting at the entrance. Mr.
and Mrs. Arohy Huntington followed,
and then came Dr. Coley and Miss Camp
bell. They were driven at once to the
family residence. The casket containing
the body was taken from the car and
removed to the house. In speaking of
the death of Mr. Huntington, Private
Secretary Mills, who was present at the
time, said:
"His death was very sudden. It was
due to heart disease, or, to be more tech
nical. Dr. Coley says that death was duo
to cerebral apoplexy. Mr. Huntington was
attacked with severe coughing Just after
retiring. His wife and he occupied the
same apartment, and when the cough
ing attack came on, Mrs. Huntington
gave him a glass of stimulant, as shd
had always done before. This seemed to
relieve him for a moment. Then he 3ald
to Mrs. Huntington: I am very, very
111 Those were the last words spoken
by him, and he sank Into unconsciousness
a moment later.
"We had Just finished playing a game of
whist and were all in our apartments
preparing to retire. Mrs. Huntington
called one of the sen-ants and the alarm
was quickly given. When I reached the
bedside of Mr. Huntington, he apparently
knew no one. One of the servants was
then hurriedly dispatched to the steam
boat Oneonta, lying at the dock In the
lake near by, and a boat was sent for
Dr, R. B. Taylor, who was a guest of
ex-Governor Xiounsberry, at his camp
across the lake, and an Intimate friend of
the family. Dr. Taylor came with all
speed, but when he reached the sick
man's bedside life was extinct. It was
not more than SO minutes at the very
most after the attack of coughing started
that death came. These coughing at
tacks usually were accompanied by a
slight paralytic affection of the throat
and other respiratory organs."
Mr. Mills stated that Mrs. Huntington
had borne the strain of the trip to this
city remarkably well, having regained her
Composure to ftorae extent jsinee her hus
band a death. He also stated that the
deceased was not affiliated with any
church in this city, and no decision had
yet been reached as to who would be
chosen as the officiating clergyman at the
funeral services.
Princess Hatafcldt, the lata Mr. Hurt
lngton's adopted daughter, who Is now
in London and who was to have sailed
for home yesterday on the steamer Ma
jestic" did not sail. She was notified by
cable of the death of Mr. Huntington,
and being unable to be present at the
funeral, will delay her home-coming for
a short time.
Mr. Miles stated that nearly 3W tele
grams of condolence had been received,
but declined to make public the con
tents of any or to say from whom they
"were received. Ho stated that they came
from all parts of the United States and
Europe, and some even from Asia and
India,
It was later announced that the all
bearers chosen -were D. O. Mills, Edward
King, of the Union Trust Company: F.
P Albert, of the Central Trust Com
pany; Edwin Hawley, traffic manager of
the Southern Pacific; Charles H. Tweed,
second vice-president of the Southern Pa
cific: Martin Brdman. R. P. Schwerln, or
the Pacific Mall Steamship Company, and
O A. Low. an old friend of the deceased.
Huntington' Heart TVns Wnlc
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 15. The fact
that C. P. Huntington suffered from a
weak heart was known for some time by
his Intimate friends. In coming to Cali
fornia last March Joe. contracted a se
vero cold in Arizona, It affected both his
Taeart and stomach. For a week after
reaching this city he could scarcely talk
above a whisper. He ate very little and
had Testless nights. After recovering from
the cold, he ytill complained of his heart,
and all the time he was here he was
under the treatment of Chief Surgeon
3ar3ner, or the Southern Pacific medical
service. Mrs. Huntington and Dr. Gard
ner frequently cautioned him not to take
any violent exercise. J. C Stubbs. one of
the vice-presidents of thf Southern Pa
cific Company, says that he has known
for three years that Mr. Huntington's
lieart was weak.
The estimates of Huntington's fortune,
made by his business associates In this
city, vary from $W,000,OW to $70,000,000.
A consensus of opinion among railroad
men here Is that Charles H. Tweed is
likely to be the new president of the
Southern Pacific Company.
The officials of the Southern Pacific
Company will net go East to attend the
funeral of their late president, but have
ordered an expensive floral tribute to be
placed m the casket,
The Superior Court of this city has re
fused, as yet, te grant any letters of
auminlstration on the Huntington prop
erty located here.
THE DEWEY ARCH.
Subscription to the tt York
Fund. Xenrly Censed.
NEW YORK. AugTl5. Louis Windmul
ler, one of the most active members of
the citizens committee for perpetuating
-the naal arch, more commonly called
the "Dewey arch" in Fifth avenue, at
Madison Square, is Quoted as saying that
in spite of waning public interest, every
effort will be made to replace the present
structure with one of stone. Mr. Wlnd
muller has Just returned from Europe. He
is the chairman of the subcommittee on
entertainment.
"The raval arch must be built." he said
emphatically "It has now become a
question of civic pride True, the move
ment began in consequence of the popular
enthusiasm over the homecoming of Ad
sulral Dcwcy. Because of a certain oppo
sition, which, as we all know, was felt
toward making the monument solely In
honor of Admiral Dewey, it was decided
to name the arch in commemoration of
the Navy. Such an act was thought to
be only a sHght acknowledgement of thn
past and present courage of our com
manders at sea.
Nevertheless, the ebb of enthusiasm
has continued and subscriptions have be
come smaller .and smaller. The last cn-
tertainment given on Dewey day to raise
funds hardly met the expenses.
"But shall New York go backward?
After such a beginning can we end in
utter failure? Is such a course consist
ent with the record of this metropolis?
That is the question It Js not necessary
to say how much such an arch would
enhance thi architectural beauty of this
city, nor need I say that it would re
dound 10 times over to our material ad
vantage. "Accordingly, the efforts to have an ex
hibition of paintings, proposed last Spring,
for the purpose of completing the sub
scription fund, should be redoubled. Al
though I have not consulted -with all the
members of the committee on the under
taking, I believe the plan Is to exhibit the
American paintings at the Paris ex
position and other art collections as soon
as the exposition ends. I think that. If
a proper appeal"1 Is made to the citizens
of this city they will respond."
THE FIGHT OFF.
Jeffries Will 2Cot Meet Winner of
Sbcvrkey-ltsslznxnona Match.
NEW YORK. Aug. 15. There will be no
fight between the winner of the Sharkey
Fitzsimmons match and James J. Jeffries,
as was origlnallr intended. Jeffries has
decided to declare this match off. as he
does not think there would be any credit
in defeating a man who had another
hard battle in the same week. Again, the
winner might not be in condition to fight.
This would give Jeffries all his hard work
of training for nothing. Jeffries Is willing
enough to fight some good man before
September 1. but. It is said, he realizes
that should he defeat Fltzslmmons or
Sharkey his victim would claim that he
was out of condition.

Work of Burglars.
At an early hour this morning burglars
broke into the White Swan saloon by
prying open a window. They wrenched
off both the knobs on the safe door and
bored a hole in it, when It is supposed
they were frightened away. A slot ma
chine standing In the saloon was broken
open and about 15 taken from It. A
cash register containing quite a sum of
money and which had been left unlocked
was not molested. The safe contained sev
eral hundred dollars, as a number of
fishermen who were paid off yesterday
had deposited their money there for the
night, and It Is thought the thieves knew
of that fact.

BRYAN AND THE IRISH
SPEECH AT THE ANNUAIi MEET
ING OF CHICAGO SOCIETIES.
Stevenson, Tottoo and Alachnle
Were Also Heard Governor
Roosevelt a Campaign Tour.
CHICAGO, Aug. IE. Mr. Bryan, Mr.
Stevenson and others made speeches to
day at Sunnyside Park on the occasion of
the annual meeting of the United Irish
Societies of Cook County. Tho attend
ance was large, notwithstanding threaten
ing weather. Mr. Bryan's speech was first
of the series, but before he was heard the
assembly adopted an address from which
the following is an. extract:
"Within the year freedom has received
desperate blows at he hands of nations
who claimed to be wedded to liberty, and
we regret to say that the foreign policy
of our own American Republishes exhib
ited a desire on the port of our Govern
ment to share in the seizure of territory,
which Is the dtstinguishlnk mark of the
nation that throttled liberty upon this
continent, bumd its capitol at Washing
ton, destroyed Its archives and set the
merciless savages upon defenseless worn
en and children, scalping, burning and de
stroying them.
"We are unalterably opposed to any al
liance, tacit or open, with any European
monarchy, particularly ours and Amer
ica's bitter foe, and snail resist In every
practical and legal way the Imposition of
imperialism and militarism upon a peo
ple consecrated to freedom, and in this
spirit, and with an abiding trust In the
good sense and patriotism of the vaSt
body of the American people, we commit,
as far aa we may, th fortunes of the
Republic of America to the strength and
determination of citizens born on Amer
ican soil, aided by those sons from other
lands who sought here a refuge from open
tyranny, Judicial misconstruction and mil
itary texactlon."
Mr. Bryan spoke as follows:
"I do not want you to think that my
happiness depends upon any public office
within the gift of tne people of this
country. I have a higher ambition than
to be President. (Great applause.) The
man whose happiness depends upon what
others do for him may be doomed to dis
appointment, but if one's happiness de
pends upon what he does for others, he
need not be disappointed. (Renewed ap
plause.) I hope you will credit me with
the ambition that Is within the reach of
every citizen of this land, an ambition
which all can entertain, and which, to
my mind, is a higher ambition than that
for any office, and that as an ambition
to do what I can to make this Nation so
great and good that to be a simple citi
zen wUl be greater than to be a King
In any other land. (Great applause.)
"I am not here this afternoon to flatter
your pride by telling you what the de
scendants of Erin have accomplished. I
am not going to dwell upon tho work of
the sons of Erin, becai.se It would take
all the afternoon and '.eave me no time
to speak of what the daughters of Erin
have also done. (Laughter and applause.)
The work of the Irishmen In the develop
ment of this country Is too well known
to need detailed description."
While paying a tribute to the Irish race
a voice shouted: "Your name should be
'O'Brien. " (Laughter and applause.) Mr.
Bryan replied: "My friend has tried to
ingratiate me Into your favor by suggest
ing that my name Is 'O'Brien,' and not
Bryan. If the gentleman knew astmuch
about It as I do, he would know that
'Bryan' Is the original name and 'O'Brien'
a derivation. (Applause and laughter.)
When 'Bryan' became King, he put on the
'O, and the O'Briens are the descendants
of the King, while the 'Bryans' are "the
common people who never got stuck up
about a relative being a King." (Renewed
applause and laughter.)
Mr. Bryan then turned his attention to
Imperialism, concluding as follows:
"When we speak aga'nst Imperialism or
protest against wars of conquest they say
that we are pleading the cause of the
Filipino. I deny it. No matter what be
comes of the Filipino, the world will go
on, but when this Nation puts out Its
light then unto what nation can strug
gling humanity look for hope and Inspira
tion?" Mr. Stevenson followed Mr. Bryan. His
speech dwelt upon a recent visit to Ire
land, and he eulogized the IrlBh peoole.
Charles A Towne was the third speaker
of the day. Mr. Towne's speech was
largely an appeal to "make god and keep
good the promises of the Declaration of
Independence."
Samuel Alschuler, Democratic candidate
for Governor of Illinois, also spoke.
Roosevelt's Caxnpalgrn Tour.

BALLOON RACE.
Result of Contest Between French.
Aeronauts.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says:
The long-distance balloon race, "which
started from the Pac d'Aerosta station at
Vlneennes. could not be brought to a sta
tistical conclusion, as the leading balloons
were stopped by the ocean. The first prize
may. go to the Comte de la Vaulx, whose
balloon, the Horizon, of 3300 cubic meters
capacity, the largest In the competition,
descended at Guerande, In the Depart
ment of Loire Inferlure. M. Faure, In
his balloon, the Aero Club, of 1630 meters,
landed near Mantes, while the Comte de
Castlllon de St Victor, In the balloon
Centaur, 1G50 cubic meters, landed within
sight of the ocean nearLorlent
The Temps points out that nothing
would be easier than to avoid racc3 that
must necessarily be such failures. As re
gards a distance record, it would suffice
for tho committee to have the option of
transforming the distance race into a
landing contest at a given spot when
wind blows toward the ocean. This
would evoke no complaint since the same
aeronauts always compete.
On August 19 will take place" the con
test for landing at a given point The
chances are that the wind will then blow
Inland, and will be favorable for the dis
tance races, but it will be impossible to
take advantage of this circumstance, be
cause the nature of this contest is speci
fied in 'the hard and fast programme
drawn up months ago.
M. Emmanuel Aime, who is the secre
tary of the Aero Club, was interviewed
en his aerial trip in the Orient, 1043 cu
bic meters. He said:
"We shot up to a height of 1000 meters,
the wind carried us toward the Bouth.
Then we drifted westward until we ar
rived at La Fleche and anchored, as we
had no more ballast except what we
were bound to return to Vlneennes with.
"During the trip our balloon passed
several other balloons, and we even con
versed with M. Faure In the balloon the
Aero Club. At 9:45 the two balloons part
ed company, the Orient going to the west
and the Aero Club toward the northwest
with an upper current"
BIOXIDE OF SODIUM.
Interesting? Demonstrations at the
French Academy.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. A dispatch to
the Times from Paris says:
Highly Interesting demonstrations of tho
properties of bloxlde of sodium are being
given before the French Academy of Sci
ence. Bioxide ,of sodium Is found to pos
sess the property of renewing the oxygen
of air that has been breathed and In
absorbing carbonic acid gas given off.
Thus, with an apparatus containing the
sodium, shown by Desgrey and Bal
thouard at the Academy, a diver can
remain under water and walk about with
out having the air renewed by pumping
apparatus at present employed. Moreover,
by means of the new apparatus miners
will be able to penetrate Into poisonous
gas and foul air and firemen Into smoke
without asphyxiation. It will also render
practicable submarine boats.
Ample proofs of all that is claimed for
It were given at the Academy. Two
men put on diving dress, from which all
air was excluded, and remained Inclosed
two hours. Afterward the same men re
mained under water In the Seine during
half an hour. The experiments are creat
ing the greatest Interest In scientific cir
cles. GREAT NIPPUR, LIBRARY.
Records of Ancient 'civilization
Unearthed.
LONDON. Aug. 15-Mail advices to the
Dally News from Constantinople, dated
August 8, announce the arrival there of
Professor H. V. Hllprecht, president of
the University of Pennsylvania expedi
tion to Nippur, after having discovered
the library of the great temple, with over
17.000 tablets, dealing with historical and
literary matters, not one of them of later
date than 22S0 B. C.
"The unexplored remains of the li
brary," says the correspondent, "will re
quire five years for excavation. If those
parts prove as rich In results as the por
tion already found, there will be no ex
ample In the world's history, not even In
Egypt, of so complete a recovery of the
records of ancient civilization."

Thousands Have Kidney trouble
and Don't Know it.
Sow To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or-common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-f our hours; a
sediment or set
tling indicates an
unhealthy condi
tion of the kid
neys; if it staln3
your linen It is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass It or pain in
the back is also
convincing proof .that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
"Wnat to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the 'great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes.
You may have a samDle bottle of this
wonderful discovery
and a book that tells
more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail.

SARATOGA. N. Y!f Aug. 15. The com
mltteo on' the revision ot tho confession
of faith appointed under a resolution of
the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in St. Xouls In May- last Is In
session here. As this is tho first meeting
of the committee, its work hero, accord
ing to the secretary, tho Rev. Dr. W. H.
Roberts, Is largely preliminary. Its ul
timate action must be based in. a great
measure on the recommendations of the
Presbyterian churches, certainly few of
which have taken action asyet.
The power and scope of the commit
tee, as defined by the General Assembly,
is:
"To consider the wholo matter of a re
statement of jthe doctrines most surely
believed among us, and which substan
tially are embodied in our confession of
faith.
"That Jhls committee be enjoined dili
gently to pursue tho Inquiries, seeking
light and knowledge from every available
source, and to report to tho next assem
bly what specific action, if any, should
be taken by the church.
"That, to further the work of the com
mittee, the presbyteries be invited by the
assembly to take action on the subject at
their Fall meetings, and to report said
action to tho committee, whether sug
gesting revlslonal, supplemental or sub
stitutional changes or no change at all."
The members of the committee present
are: Rev. Charles A. Dickey, of Phila
delphia; Rev. Herrlck Johnson, of Chi
cago; Rev. Samuel J. NIccolls, of St.
Louis; Rev. Daniel "W. Fisher, of Han
over, Ind.; Rev. "William McKibbln. of
Cincinnati; Bev. George B. Stewart, pres
ident of Auburn Theological Seminary;
Rev. Samuel B. Sprecher, of Cincinnati;

Daniel R. Noyes, of St. Paul; E. "W. C.
Humphrey, of Louisville; Dr. William R.
Crabbe, of Pittsburg; John B. Parsons, of
Now York, and Ellsha A. Fraser, of De
troit. According to Secretary Roberts, it Is
problematical how many days the com
mittee will be In session.
A NEW YORK MOB.
Threatened Vengeance on Negroes
Checked by Police.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. A mob of sev
eral hundred persons formed at 11 o'clock
tonight in front of the home of Policeman
Robert J. Thorpe, Thirty-seventh street
and Ninth avenue, to wreak vengeance
puon the negroes of that neighborhood
because one of their race had caused the
policeman's death. Thorpe was stabbed
and bruised last Sunday night by several
negroes while he was attempting to arrest
a colored woman, and died the following
day. The man who Inflicted most of the
Injuries is said to be Arthur Harris. In
a few moments the mob swelled to 1500
people or more, and as they became vio
lent the negroes fled in terror Into any
hiding-place they could And.
The police reserves from four stations,
numbering 400 in all, were called out. The
mob of white men, which grew with great
rapidity, raged through the district, and
negroes, regardless of age and sex, were
indiscriminately attacked. Scores were
InjuredE. It took'the combined efforts of
the reserves, with as many more police
men on regular patrol duty In the four
precincts, to restore order.

Catarrh Is an obsflnata and dangerous
disease. It clings tenaciously to the sys

each returning Fall and Winter.
The time to take treatment for diseases
of a catarrhal nature Is now. The cli
matic conditions are most favorable
In fact, the best of the year the liability
to taking cold being the lowest, and
one month's treatment now will do more
good than two months In cold and rainy
weather.
Time and again Dr. Copeland has urged
upon persons In desperate stages of ca
tarrhal disease the necessity and Import
ance of taking treatment while the weath
er is most favorable to a cure.
Now Is the time. Those who suffer
from catarrh should take advantage of
all the influences that operate now In
favor of a cure. They should not put
off treatment until next Winter's stormy

Rneumatism may attack with such suddenness and severity as to make within a few days a healthy,

Like other blood diseases, Rheumatism is often inherited, and. exposure to damp or cold, want of proper
food, insufficient clothing, or anything calculated to impair the health, will frequently cause it to develop
in early life, but more often not until middle age or later. In whatever form, whether acute or chronic,

and no liniment or other external treatment can reach the trouble. Neither do the preparations of potash
