Paris, April 9.—The funeral of Mrs. Por-
ter, wife of United States Ambassador

tall palms, while immediately in front of
the a.ltar rested the casket, hidden be-
neath a profusion of beautiful floral offer-
ings.
Ambassador Porter, who was accom-
panied by his daughter, Elsie, heavily
veiled, bore the ordeal with fortitude. To
the left of the family sat Madam Loubet,
wife of the president of France; Gen. Du-
bois, personal representative of the presi-
dent, with a large staff of officers in full
uniform; Foreign Minister Del Casse,
Premier Combes, and other members of
the ministry, with their wives.
Among others present were Ambassador
Tower, who came on from Berlin; former
Vice President Levi P. Morton, Consul
General Gowdy, Count de Rochambeau,
Marquis de Chambrun, M. Hamard, sculp-
tor of the Rochambeau statue; the British
ambassador, Sir Edward Monson, and
staff, and ambassadors and ministers of
various other countries, with their staffs,
and a large number of Americans, taxing
the capacity of the edifice. Rev. Dr.
Thuber conducted a simple service.
After the public service the casket was
borne to the mortuary , chapel adjoining
the church, where it will remain until
removed to America.
We would like to ask, through the col-
umns of your paper, if there is any person
who has used Green's^Au^gust Flower for
the cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia and
Liver Troubles that hftsibt been cured—
and we also mean thbfr-results, such as
sour stomach, fermentation of food, habit-
ual costiveness, nervous dyspepsia, head-
aches, despondent feelings, sleeplessness-
in fact, and trouble connected with the
stomach or liver? This medicine has been
sold for many years in all civilized coun-
tries, and we wish to correspond with you
and send you one of our books free of cost.
If you never tried August Flower, try a
25 cent bottle first. We have never known
of its fai..ag. If so, something more seri-
ous is the matter with you. The 25 cent
size has just been introduced this year.
Regular size 75 cents. At all druggists.

Correspondent Who Tried to Follow Him
Is Arrested.
Cinnibar, Mont., April 9.—President
Roosevelt made an early start this morn-
ing from his headquarters in the park for
an extended trip through certain portions
of the reserve.
There are large numbers of mountain
lions in the park and as the authorities
are making a determined effort to exter-
minate them it is possible the president
may get a few shots during his stay.
Notwithstanding that numerous notices
have been given to the outside world that
no newspaper men would be allowed in
the park while the president is there, one
enterprising reporter tried to force his
way in yesterday. He rode a horse and
had a dog with him. The man was ar-
rested before he proceeded far and the
dog was shot. Later the correspondent
was release—

Ii&<3ig£estiox& Causes
CatarrH of tKe
Stomach,
For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh of thd Stomach.
K@doi! Dyspepsia Cm
relieves all inflammation of the mucous
membranes lining the stomach, protects the
nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a
sense of fullness after eating, indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.

Friday’s estimates:
2500 bales; Houston, 1800 to 21; New Or-
leans, 2500 to 3500
The Liverpool market for spot cotton
opened with a limited demand and closed
steady, previous prices being repeated.
The volume of trading was small, the
transactions aggregating only 6000 bales,
of which 5700 were American and 500 for
the account of exporters and speculators.
The imports footed up 15,200 bales, includ-
ing 14,100 bales from this side. Futures
opened quiet and unchanged to 1 point
better, ruled quiet but steady, with no
fluctuations of consequence, and closed
quiet and 1 to 2 points higher than last
night.
Weather telegrams received at the ex-
change this morning indicate about an
equal distribution of “cloudy” and. “clear”
conditions throughout the state. No rain
is reported and farmers are busy in the
fields with their crops.
Futures at New York and New Orleans
opened steady and better than yesterday.
May at New York opened at 10.33-34c,
against 10.30-31C last night, while the July
figure Indicated an advance of 4 points. In
the late positions there was but little do-
ing and the change was small. At New
York later in the session May sold at
10.34c, but soon declined a couple of points.
The market appeared devoid of animation
and the fluctuations were con'fined within
a narrow range during the early hours.
The Cotton Gazette says: “Possibly in
July the stock of tenderable cotton In
Liverpool will be reduced to exceedingly
low limits and a natural ‘corner’ is in-
evitable.”
New Orleans—Strikes are becoming more
numerous and will'probably extend to the
New England mills.
New Orleans—Hester will not issue his
report of the amount of cotton in sight
until April 13.
In consequence of the holiday tomorrow
there will be no reports received at the
local exchange and there will be no Gal-
veston market.

There Are No Idle Men of That Trade
Here.
According to information furnished V.
H. Davidson by E, N. Rosenberg, a union
carpenter, there is not a single idle union
carpenter in the city, and the local unions
are sending elsewhere to secure men to
do the carpenter work already in sight. This
information was given Mr. Davison in re-
ply to Mr. Davison’s request -of Mr. Ros-
enberg to do some work for him. Mr.
Rosenberg said that he was not only en-
gaged, but had work enough on hand to
keep him busy for some time, and that he
did not know of a single carpenter of abil-
ity who who was not similarly situated.
A Tribune reporter investigated the ru-
mor as far as was possible this afternoon.
Not a single member of the carpenters’
union could be found, but from other men
prominent in labor matters it was learned
Mr. Rosenberg had correctly defined the
situation.
“Mr. Rosenberg is a most reliable man,”
said Financial Agent George DeQuoy of
the Southern Pacific Transport Workers’
association, “He would not make a mis-
statement, and he is in a position to know
the facts of the case. While I do not know
of any union carpenters who are idle, I am
not in a position to vouch for the assertion
first hand; but I am willing to back any
statement that Mr. Rosenberg would
make on the subject, for the reason I know
him to be a thoroughly reliable man.”
While the number of houses that are
being built right now is greatly in excess
of the number that was in course of con-
struction at this time last year, it appears
from the best information obtainable by
a Tribune reporter that any number of car-
penters are engaged in making additions
and fixing up houses that have either been
built since the storm or have never been
put in first class order since that blow.
Such improvements can be seen on all
sides. The little commissary houses are
being added to here and there, a gallery
is being placed on one, a long verandalr
and extra rooms on another,, and the like-
in many instances producing a most har-
monious effect. It is also freely asserted
in building circles that if one-third of the
inquiries that are not being made by pros-
pective builders result in houses being con-
structed the coming summer will make a
new record from a building standpoint in
this city.
WASHED FEET OF TWELVE OLD MEN
Ancient Ceremony Performed Today By
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria.
Vienna, April 9.—Emperor Francis Jos-
eph, assisted by eleven archdukes, in the
Hofburg today performed the ancient Holy
Thursday ceremony of washing the feet of
12 aged men, their ages ranging from 92 to
89 and aggregating 1082 years. The emper-
or-first placed a dish of food before each
man, which the archdukes removed im-
mediately afterwards, the viands being
sent later to the men’s home. The cere-
mony ended with the emperor hanging a
bag containing thirty pieces of silver
around each man’s neck.
His majesty appeared to be in excellent
health. There was a large gathering of
court, diplomatic and military officials
present, including Ambassador Storer and
Mrs. Storer, Second Secretary Rives, Mili-
tary Attache Harris, the British ambassa-
dor, Sir Plunkett and Lady'Plunkett and
the Duchess of Marlborough.
Beach Merchants Will Have to Get Out
of Way of Sea Wall.
A rumor has been abroad for some time
to the effect that when the sea wall was
completed as far east as it is to be built
the wall would then be built westward to
21st street and the work would then be
transferred to 25th street, thereby giving
the beach merchants a chance to do busi-
ness all summer without interruption.
County Judge Lewis Fisher said this
morning there was no foundation for such
a rumor. ®
“As soon as the wall is completed to
the eastern limits the work of erecting
the wall westward will begin at 16tii
street and will continue to 38th street
without interruption,” said Judge Fisher.
“If there has been any understanding
about skipping that portion of the wall
where the beach merchants operate I
have not heard of it and I do not believe
such a thing is contemplated.”

ANOTHER GERM DESTROYER.
Ilerplcide is Death to Dundruff
Germs.
The germ burrows into the scalp, throw-
ing up the cuticle in thin scales, called
dandruff, or scurf, and digging at the root
of the hair, where it saps the hair’s vital-
ity. First comes brittle hair, then luster-
less and dead-like hair, then falling hair,
and. finally, baldness. Nine-tenths of the
hair troubles are caused by dandruff.
Without dandruff, hair will grow luxur-
iantly, as nature intended. “Herpicide”
kills the dandruff germ, leaving the hair
to grow unhampered, as it does with the
American red men.

GOT WATCH BACK.
.Police Found Time Piece Which Was
Stolen From J. G. Wren.
Joseph Goree Wren, the stenographer in
the office of J. B. Denison, agent of the
MallorycJitie, who ha.d a watch stolen
from him a few nights since, has had the
watch returned. The police department
went to work on the case as soon as it
was reported to them and they were not
long in finding where the watch was. In
conformity with Mr. Wren’s expressed
intention, the watch was returned to him
yesterday a,nd no questions 'were asked
by Mr. Wren. When if is taken into con-
sideration that Mr. Wren could not ad-
vance a single suggestion as to who got
the: watch and the $35 that was also taken,
the police department seems to have done
a pretty good piece of work in locating
the missing articles.
