of mourning marking the route.
A Memorable spectacle.
Never in English history has a sov
ereign been borne to the grave attended
by so'many distinguished mourners.
The gathering of crowned heads sur
passed those who rode in the jubilee
procession. All tiie officers of state
participated. The display of the naval
and military forces reached the great
total of 35,000 men.
The firing of minute guns and the
tolling of bells at a quarter past 11 an
nounced to the countless multitudes
who had been crowding London’s muddy
streets since daylight that the funeral
procession with the body of Queen Vic
toria had begun its passage through the
capital.
The people fought for hours for a
glimpse of the coffin and the kings and
others followed it. They saw a long
procession of soldiers, a passing show
of dazzling regalia, with a hundred
royalties crowding after, and then dis
persed, while all the church chimes of
the city and the dirges were played.
Brilliant and Impressive.
The scene at the Victoria station from
early morning was most brilliant and
impressive. For the day’s ceremony
the station was transformed into an im
mense reception hall. All trains were
stopped before 9 o’clock, and the long
platforms were covered with purple
cloth. On another platform, facing
that at which the queen's train was to
arrive, guards of honor, composed of
bluejackets and grenadier guards, were
drawn up. The broad roadway sepa
rating the two was swept clean and
sanded, and a number of little purple
covered platforms, from whioh members
of the royal party were expected to
mount their horses, were placed at in-
tervals at the side and center.
Europe has seen grander royal fu
nerals than the queen’s aud had a more
gorgeous spectacle iu the celebration of
her 60 years of reign, but no episode iu
the Victorian era will live so deeply im
pressed on the memories of those who
witnessed it or participated in the cere
monies.
The day was sombre, wet aud chilly
as are most of London’s winter days.
The cloudy sky added to the gloom of
the whole city.
Dazzling Martial Scenes.
At 10 o’clock an army of grooms with
the horses arrived, and thenceforward
distinguished British naval and mili
tary officers and foreign royalties, in
dazzling uniforms, came in quick suc
cession. The lord chamberlain and his
officials, bareheaded, with their white
wands of office, received the most dis-
*, tiuguished personages aud conducted
them to a little pavilion erected on the
platform. The station by that time re
sembled the 9oene at a levee. The com
mander-in-chief of the forces, Field
Marshal Earl Roberts, on a beautiful,
spirited brown mkre, carrying his field
marshal’s baton, at this juncture trotted

ofTnterest. Then came the carriages of
the queen aud the princesses. The
horses were ridden by postillions in
scarlet jackets, with only a narrow band
of crepe on their arms as a badge of the
great change. The carrirges were closed.
All heads were uncovered as the
saloon carriage hearing the remains
stopped exactly opposite the guncar-
riage and King Edward, Queen Alex
andra, Emperor William and others
alighted.
Then the bearer party advanced to the
saloon carriage, and with his hand at

the coffin to the guncarriage. It was
finally accomplished aud the pall and

BROTHERHOOD ENGINEERS.

Bar Fixtures, Slot Machines and Re
frigerator Wrecked With Hatchet.
The Smasher’s Skirts Drenched With
Flowing Beer—Carried to Prison.
Topeka, Feb. 5.—Mrs. Carrie Nation
launched her crusade agaiust the joints
at au early hour this morning. She
rose at 4:30 aud soon afterward started
out on a tour of joint-smashing. Ac
companied by Mrs. J. White and Miss
Madeline Southard, she attempted to
enter the place at 830 Kansas avenue.
The mau ou duty at that early hour was
taken unawares, but managed to dis
arm Mrs. Nation and bolt tne door be
fore auy of the party could enter. Mrs.
Nation said her friends caught her arms
nod nreveuted her going iu through the
window.
An Accidental Blow.
The next place visited was The Senate,
at 406 Kansas avenue. The women en
tered without resistance, but a colored
man quickly seized Mrs. Nation and took
her hatchet away. Somehow, in the
scuffle, she was struck ou the right rem
pie by the hatchet, but the blow did uot
disable her, and she at once seized the
hatchet carried by Mrs. White. She
turned over two slot machines aud
smashed the glass iu front of each. She
soon made a wreck of the large refrig
erator, aud after that turned her atten
tion to the liquor and fixtures behind
the bar. A keg of beer came in the way
of her hatchet, aud the contents com-
nlftely drenched the skirts of Mrs. Na
tion.
Praise Service In Lockup.
At this juncture the negro Dorter
fired his revolver at the ceiling to
frighten the crusaders aud attracted at
tention of the outsiders. Policeman
Graham was attracted to the place by
the noise and escorted Mrs. Nation to
the police station. Here Mrs. Nation
aud her little band of followers held a
short praise service and lectured those
in charge at- the time.
The Senate saloon which was wrecked
was one of the handsomest and most
complete in its equipments of any in
the city. It is fitted up with a hand
some cherry bar, aud the great mirror
which hung on the north side was
valued at $500. Probably $1,500 worth
of property, mostly made up of cherry
bar and handsome fixtures, was de
stroyed.
Mrs. Nation was released at the po
lice station after a shore trial. She im
mediately began another round of the
joints.
At the police station Mrs. Nation was
booked as “Joint Smasher. ” The others
were released. Her case was continued
till Thursday, without bond, the charge
preferred being that of “instituting a
riot.”
The case against Mrs. Nation for at
tempting to smash the Unique saloon,
on East Sixth street, yesterday after
noon, was dismissed.
An Appeal to Children.
Mrs. Natiou today issued the follow
ing proclamation to the school children
of Topeka: [
“My Precious Little Children—I
send you greeting and ask you to help
me destroy that which is on the streets
and protected by the police and city
officials to destroy my darlings. I want
every one of you little ones to grab up a
rock and smash up the glass doors aud
windows of these hellholes. You will
do your duty aud enroll your names on
the pages of undying fame and place
yourself on the side of God aud hu
manity. Your loving friend,

For Training Poor Girls of
Good Character.

Late yesterday afternoon Mrs. Nation
met her first defeat in her saloon smash
ing career. Later, at the police station
she laughingly declared that it was by
uo means her Waterloo, as she would
soon again be at her chosen work.
With six womeu, each armed with
bright new hatchets, she had started out
to wreck a restauraut in East Sixth
street, that also dispensed liquors. Be
fore she could wield her hatchet Mrs.
Nation was disarmed, aud a free for all
struggle between restaurant people aud
her wreckers was begun.
The greatest excitement prevailed for
a time, during which numerous eyes
were blackened and many noses made
to bleed. Mrs. Nation, herself unable
to accomplish anything, shouted orders
to her followers to begin the onslaught.
But the hatchet brigade had become
stampeded and uot another hand was
raised against the obnoxious restaurant.
Mrs. Nation was led away to the station,
on a charge of distuibing the peace, and
was followed by a jeering crowd.

Deafness Cannot be Cnred
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Enstachian Tube, hen this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless this
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of ihe mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we
cannot cure by taking Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

Peach Crop Prospects.
Savannah, Feb. 6.—G. M. Ryals has
returned from a visit to his peach farm,
near Tifton. He says that even if the
peach crop of Georgia escapes a freeze
this winter, there will not be as many
peaches next summer as last. The trees
he has seen jear no evidence of a large
year. The buds do not appear as thick
as last year. The crop, however, will
be one of fair proportions, if the cold
weather doss not injure it.
