Frank Sullivan in command, preceded by a drum corps, and Division No. 11, A." O. H.t Martin Dowling, President, together with members of the order from other di­ visions. Dr. Cronin was in his lifetime a member of this division. The pro­ cession passed to the open grave, near the east side of the cemetery, not far from the Sheridm road. Capt. Sullivan's company formed a guard about the grave. The casket was placed in a cemented brick vault at the bottom of the giave, and, resting under a profusion of flow­ ers, was covered with n large limestone slab. The religions services were con­ ducted by the Kev. Father Mul'oon, Chancellor of the diocese, assisted by the Bev.• Father D. B. Toomey. These consisted simply of the office for committal. There were no addresses of any kind made. As soon as tLe service was said tbe grave was filled, and upon tbe new turned earih the ladies' floral Committee placed wreaths and bouquets.' These fioral tributes were so abundant that the grave was completely hidden by them. Ihus, exactly one year after hss untimely death the body of Dr. Cronin was laid to ret>t.

THK VETERAN JOCTXALISt OS CHICAGO TAKEN AWAlt A Sudden Stroke or Apoplexy on the Street Drives Him Into m Lodging House, Wliere He Expires Before a Phy­ sician Beaches His Bedside--An HOD- oi*0<1 Career Ended. Chicago dispatch: Andrew Shuman, president of the Evening Journal com­ pany and ex-Lieutenant Governor of Illinois, died vorv suddenly about tl o'clock at night at a lodging house at 18 Quincy street Death was causcd by apopiexy, and was marked by the r ab­ sence of any member of his family or any of his numerous friehds. Mr. Shuman (had been observed walk­ ing on Quincy street about 10:30 o'clock. He appeared sick and seemed to walk with difficulty. He ascended the first flight of stairs at No. 18 and asked of Mrs. Wheeler, wife of the proprietor. of the place, for room. He complained of feeling ill and asked that )es be shown a room imme­ diately. He Trfts assigned to No. 5, the second room from the head of the stairs, and, hurriedly disrobing, retired at once. After Mrs. Wheeler had shown him tho room she 'Went for a towel, there being none on the wasli-stand. 'When' she re­ turned with it she heard heavy breath­ ing, accompanied by an effort at vomit­ ing. She opened the door and found Mr. Shuman in bed lying on his loft side with the face buried in the pillow. Mrs. Wheeler ran to the office, where her husband and son,Benjamin Wheeler, and a young woman named Miss Belle Hoye were playing at cards. She ex­ citedly told them of tlia condition of the late arrival, for it was not known at that time who tho man was. They hur­ ried to the room and found Mr. Shuman partly on his back. His face was of a deathly pallor, and the eyes were turned upward and rapidly setting in death. He was choking. Mrs. Wheeler tone open his shirt col­ lar, thinking it would facilitate his respiration, and this result was tempor­ arily accomplished. But for a moment, only. The choking sound at the throat increased and tho breathing was labored. His eyes closed and opened, but there was no recognition In them. His hands, white and moist with tho damp of death, clutched convulsively and all was over. Mr. Shnman lived with his wife and daughter at Evanston. Ho usually left for Evanston about 5 in the evening. He had intended remaining in the city for the night, the early part of the even­ ing having been spent in conference with some political friends. He was very devoted to his wife, who has been an invalid for a number of years. She only quite recently returned from a health resort In New York state, where she had been for several months. He was greatly concerned about her condition. Just before her departure from the health institution she'telegraphed to her daughter to come to her immediately. Because the dispatch was sent to his daughter and was not more explicit nearly prostrated him with fear that she had suddenly grown worse. He told a friend that he believed he would go in­ sane If some word from his wife did not reach him. This constant worry about her had produced visible effects iu his own condition. Upon tlfo\ death of Mr. Shuman his fWniJy'and a few of his most intimate friends were notified. Andrew Shuman was born Nov. 8, 1S30, in Lancaster county, Pennsylva­ nia, of old Dutch stock. He received a common-school education, and at the age of 14 was apprenticed to the print­ ing business in the oflico of tho Lancas­ ter Union and Sentinel. In 1846 ho entered the office of the Daily Adver­ tiser at Auburn, N. Y. Ifl 1853 he be­ came editor of tiio pally Journal at Syracuse, N. Y. In July, 1856, He became assistant editor of the Chicago Evening Journal, finally becoming its head. In 1855 he married Miss Lucy B. Dun lap, of t)vid, N. Y. ^tle has one daughter, who mar­ ried Mr. I. M. Elliott of Chicago. Mr. Shuman held several important public offices. He was commissioner of tho Illinois state penitentiary at Jolietfrom 18G5 to 1871, and in 1874 was elected lieutenant-governor of the state. The best years of his life were devoted to the Evening Journal. After tho death of Charles L. Wilson, president of the Journal company in 1878, Mr. Shu­ man was elected president of the com­ pany, a controlling interest in which was held by Mrs. Wilson and her daughter. In March, 1880, Mr. Shuman and John R. Wilson, a nephew of the former pro­ prietor, leased the Journal from the company. During 1883 the company was reorganized, with Mr. Shuman as president. About a year ago Mr. Shuman retired from active participancy In the manage­ ment of the paper with which he had so long been identified, but retained his financial interest. .THE SILVER QUESTION. A LETTER FROM SECRETARY WEN- DO M ON THE SUBJECT. TO BEGIN S00X. Cetis as-Taking- to Iteffln Within a Slonth , --Vast Piles of Schedules, Washington dispatch: Within four weeks the actual work of taking the census will be begun. The prepara­ tions are now well under way, and when June 1 arrives the 40,000 or rqore enumerators, armed with paper and pencil, will be ready to begin their rounds. The busiest place just now in connection wit h the census work is the warehouse in this city whore the popu­ lation schedules are stored. There are some 20,'>00,000 of these schedules, and a, force of men under the direction of Mr, Spalding arc hard at work packing them into boxes to be sent to fhe census supervisors. There are 175 supervisors, corre­ sponding to the number of districts into which tho country Is divided for census purposes. The schedules are sent to tho supervisors to be distributed among the enumerators. They are packed in boxes, which weigh, when full, 237 pounds. There are to be 4,5')0-boxes in all, and by the end of the present week; it is expected that they will all bei shipped. The boxes are sent by mail, which means, of course, that they ar® carried in the mail-cars instead of in th« express cars.

That Mnane'or Refutes th* Assertion that the Administration Favors a Con­ traction of the Currency--Figures and Reports to Prove His Statements. Washington dispatch: Secretary Wln- dom has written a letter in reply to an article in a financial newspaper on the general subject of the currency in which he undertakes to refute the assertion that the administration favors the con­ traction of tho currency. He gives figures in regard to the circulation and treasury holdings May 1 anjl makes com­ parison with the estimated circulation of the principal countries of Europe. According to these fignres and esti­ mating the present population of the United States at 64,000,000 the amount of metallic and paper money in the United States, not Including any portion of the amount held by the treasury of the United States is 822.-3^ pet captia, or more than in any of the leading countries In Europe with the exception of France, in which the circulation Is estimated at $37.30 per captia. Mr. Wlndoin says: "In regard to the money supposed to be hoarded by the United States treas­ ury, aside from the fund deposited In tho treasury by national banks for the re­ demption of their notes which have'been retired, which the government holds as a trusteo, and the balances on deposit in the treasury by disbursing officers, the only reserve which is kept by the treas­ ury is $100,000,000 in gold for the re­ demption of legal-tender notes as pro­ vided by the acts of 1S75 and 1882. "There is no disposition on the part of the administration of the treasury to hoard money, and the so-called surplus, which is the excess of the receipts over the expenditures, can bo used under the present law only in the redemption of the bonded debt of the United States, which is being done as rapidly as the bonds can be judiciously purchased. The surplus on the'1st inst. amounted to only $26,930,623, exclusive of fractional silver coin, of which $31,648,898 was on deposit in national banks performing the duty of a circulating medium. It is the policy and purpose of the department to withdraw a Jarge portion of this deposit and Invest it in United States bonds as rapidly as It can bo done without dan­ ger of decreasing the actual circula­ tion."

H# Falls Helplrss In the Station IVliere Garfield Was*Shot and Dies Before Med- Icsl Aid Arrives--The Summons Causes Deep Sorrow Among Washington States­ men. Washington dispatch: The city was startled on tho 3d by the news that Sena­ tor Beck had died suddenly. The Senator dropped dead at tho Baltimore & Poto­ mac railroad station at a few minutes after 4 o'clock. He spent the day In New York and had just arrived on the 4 o'clock train from that city. He alighted from the train and whilo pass­ ing Into the station fell and immediate­ ly expired. Tne news of his death was telephoned to the Senate and upon its announcement the Senate at once ad­ journed. Mr. Beck was accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Goodloe, wife of MaJ. Goodloe of the United States marine .corps. He got oil tho train with the rest of the passengers arid walked with his daughter the entire length of the platform and through the gate leading to tho station proper. He seemed to walk with an effort and breathe with labor, but these symptoms were the usual accompaniments of exertion with him for some months past. After passing into the station tho Senator and his daughter stopped and were joined by his private secretary, who had brought a carriage to take them homo. A few words were exchanged with re­ gard to the care of baggage, when the senator suddenly turned pale and with the remark "I feel dizzy" fell into the arms of his -companions. Thev could not support his weight and he dropped to the floor, where he swooned away. His daughter was naturally alarmed and screamed for help. Wlfllug hands were numerous, as the station was crowded at the time, and the limp and helpless body was borne into the office of the station master about twenty feet away. Great excitement ensued, and al­ though It was apparent that the Sena­ tor was dead half a dozen messengers were immediately dispatched for physi­ cians and all the remedies at hand were applied, but to no cffect. Dr. Chamber­ lain was the first physician to arrive, and ho was soon followed by Dr. Wells and others, but there was nothing for them to do except to examine tho body and to determine tho cause of death. A superficial examination only was possible at tho time, but it was sufficient to satisfy tho physicians that death re­ sulted from paralysis of tho heart. The news was telegraphed to tho capltol and subsequently spread like wildfire to all sections of the city. Representatives Breckenridtre, Caruth, Stone, and others of tho Kentucky delegation repaired to tbe station at once and arranged for the removal of the remains to a more suit­ able place. Senator Beck was 68 yea^s old in Feb-, ruary. His only son, George Seek, is a largo ranch-owner in Wyoming. Th« Senator came from the shire in Scot­ land where the poet Burns wrote his Sweotest songs. He came to Kentucky as a boy and was educated at a little college In Lexington. There he also studied law, and there he arterward be­ came the partner of John C. Breckin­ ridge. He served four terms in Con­ gress from the Lexington district and at the time of his death was in his third term in the Senate and had been elected to a fourth. LONDON'S GREAT PARADE* One Hundred and Seventy Thousand Men In Line. London cable: The Sunday labor demonstration in Hyde Park was a mag­ nificent success and excelled in pcint of numbers and orderly enthusiasm all working-class gatherings since the great reform assemblage In 1-S66. The splen­ did organization of the different sec­ tions taking part in the procession brought together In the park 500,000 people, who met, went through their business, and dispersed without a single incident occurring of a disorderly char­ acter. The leading sections were the trade councils, which included eight groups, representing the leather trades, metal and cabinet workers, and the shipping, clothing, printing, paper, and building trades. These bodies, in which were numerous related trades, mustered in specified districts of the metropolis early in the forenoon and marched, headed by their leaders and with bands and ban­ ners, toward the Thames embankment, the central point, whence the marshaled array was ordered to st^rt for tho Park. Tho gigantic procession was timed to start at 3 o'clock, and punctually at that hour ItrNpoved off amid thunderous cheers and the blending music of many bands. The routo toward tho park was along Bridge streetvSt. James' park and Bird-Cage walk, which were lined with si>ectators. Masses of artisans joined the paraders on tho way, until on enter­ ing the park the estimated number of men in lino was 150,000. Tho total number taking part In the various processions is estimated at 170,- 000. and these were" almost lost in the vastness of tho assemblages gathered around the thirteen platforms upon which the labor-day advocates held forth. Among the far-stretching, dense crowd no police were visible. Orders from headquarters to refrain from in­ terfering or co-operating with the organizers of the demonstration had caused the police to judiciously keep in the background. After tho paraders had formed around the platforms the speaking commenced. Shortly after 4 o'clock resolutions de­ manding that eight hours be recognized as aday'swork wore put and carried amid the acclamations of the multitude, and by o o'clock, when tho paraders had re­ formed in line the assemblage began to disperse. Half a million is a moderate computa­ tion of the Kathering, the character of .which bore everywhere the unmistak­ able stamp of the solid, respectable artisan classes, the tag-rag and bob-tail being conspicuously absent. A notables feature was that the bands'of tho trades- councils eschewed revolutionary mustc, playing only popular and national airs. The speakers included Messrs. Davltt, Cunninghams, Graham, John Burns, Thomas Mann, Benjamin Tillette, Mrs. Avellng, and Annie Besant. By 6 o'clock the park was deserted and the thoroughfares were full of orderly crowds streaming homeward. From Far and Near.

THKBB was an nxmsnsJly large act«ndsae*'<MR Senator! in tho Benato chamber on the 0th inst., when the opening prayer was offered by the Chaplain. Mr. Beck's desk and chair wer» covered with black crape, and a feeling of solemnity pervaded the chamber. Mr. Black­ burn roae, and, in a voice tremulous with emo­ tion, said: "Mr. President, my colleague 1» dead. It ie not my purpose at this time to speak either of him or of the great ser- vic 38 which , he has rendered to his- country. The drapery of his desk furnishes a fitting type of the sorrow which pervade* every heart In this chamber. A great common­ wealth with bowed bead to-day puts on tho weeds of mourning.. At an appropriate time and in the early future I wUl aek the Senate to afford to his friends an opportunity to pay their tribute to hie memorv. I 'will now ask this- Senate to consider the resolutions which I sentL to tho clerk's desk." The resolutions provided for the appointment of a committee of seveni Senators to arrange for the funeral, and that, as> a mark of respect for the dead Senator, "the benate do now adjourn." The resolutions ware adopted unanimously, and the Senat e adjourned. Tlie following list of Senatora was ap­ pointed as the committee to superintend tne funeral: Messrs. Blackburn, Harris, V&noe. Kenna, Dawes. Evarts, aud Mandtraon. In the> Houee, on motion of Mr. McKiuley, tbe Senate amendments to the customs administrative bill were concurred iu and a conference ordered. Messrs. McKinley, Burrows, and Carlisle were appointed conferrees. A mcBsa^e having been re­ ceived from the Senate announcing the d< ath of Senator Becb, and inviting the House to bo present at the funeral, Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, offered a resolution accepting the invitation and requesting the Speaker to ap­ point a committee of nine Representatives xo act witti a committee uppoiuted by Cbe Senate to take charge of the funeral arrangements. The resolutions wfere adopted unanimously. The Speaker aj>pointed tho following committee; Messrs. Breckinridge of Kentucky, Holman, Blount, Bland, Hatch, Wilson of Kentucky. Banks, Dunnell, niid Butterwor.h. The House then, as a mark of reBpect to the deceased ad­ journed. ' IN the Senate, on the 7th lnat., the silvej MIL was taken up, and Mr Sherman moved to amend the bill by inserting as anew section a provision repealing all laws that require money deposited in the Treasury--under section 522A oi the lieviBed Statutes--to be hel 1 as a npecial fund for the rtdemption of national baak notes and covering such money into the Treasury; also covering into the Treasury sums deposited under scction 4 or the act of June 2J, 1874, fixing the amount of United states notes, being section C of the -Conger Bill. Mr. Plumb moved to amend the amendment by inserting a provision that hereafter no funds avail­ able for the payment of the public debt, including such as are kepo lor tho redemption of Treasury notes, shall be re­ tained in tne Treasury in excess of $110,000,000. The Senate proceeded to executivo business, no vote being taken on either of the pending amendments. Conference reports were agreed to on the bills for public buildingB at Cedar littpids, Iowa; Atchison, Kan,; Burlin^tan, Iowa ; Lafayette, Ind.; and Ashland, W1b. The House went into committee of the whole on the taiiff bill, the general debate to close 1-aturday evening. Mr. McKinley and Mr. Mills were- granted the privilege of sptaking without being limited to time. Mr. McKiuley opened the do- bate in favor of the bill, and at the closa of hie remarks Mr. Mills spoke in opposition to it. ' Ix the Senate, on the 8th inst., tho House bill providing for the classification of worsted cloths as woolens was taken up for considera­ tion. At 2 o'clock the presiding officer an­ nounced that the silver bill was before the Sen- atH as "unfinished business." Finally it was agreed that the silver bill should go over till the following Monday aud should then come up aftsr the formal business- of the morning hour, and be con­ tinued as "unfinished business" until diHposed of. Alter tbe arrangement was ar­ rived at, the worsted bill was again taken up and passed without amendment. The -bill now goes to the Presiden for his ugnaiure. The. pension appropriation bill (appropriating for the next fiscal year .f97,0I.K),761) was then taken up. A vote on an amendun nt disclosed the ab­ sence of a quorum, only thirty-lour members being present, and the Senate adjourned. The. House spent the day in discussing the tariff bill He Had the Fiotr. The British House of Commons is- perhaps the most powerful organization^ ' of men in the world, but its great an- - thoritv and dignity did nob prevent it- from being thrown into soma eonlusum on a recent occasion, by a very small enemy. One of the members, Sir John Gorst, had taken the floor, to address the House, when it was1 perceived by a number of members that a mouse had taken the floor at the same time, and. was running exactly in the direction of v the spot occupied by Sir John. Certain of the members could not re* , frain from cries of surprise at seeifegf' the mouse make this movement. The cries frightened the mouse and caused him to turn back and rnn toward th» • benches occupied by tlie members. This threw the front bench into some confusion, which only fiight Med the1 mou'e the more. He atter.pto-1 to- take refuge in the troupers i-g of an honorable, member, and this gentleman immediately began a series of leaps- and bounds jn an attempt to free him­ self from the mouse. In an instant the chamber was in ' confusion. The mouse, escaping from, the honorable member with whom he had taken refuge, ran this "way an<£ that. Numbers of the members jumped upon the benches which serve them as- seats. Tho "question before the House" became "how shall the little animal bo- got rid of V All at once the mouse found his w%v * to the hole in the floor through whicbt he had entered. He disappeared; menibei8 got down from the seats, and. Sir John Gorst resumed his remarks* How to Keep Your Skin Nice. - ,;:1 Don't use a sponge or linen rag for* your face; choose instead a flannel one- Don't bathe your face while it is very- warm and never use very cold water for ' it.
