Mauy people delav this work, putting it off until the weather is warmer, which is a seri ous mistake. The warm weather starts the sap to flowing and the Vines bleed. Bleeding may not kill a vine, but it weakens it. No one can hope to have a good crop of grapes on a vine that was bled heavily in the Spring. Pruning should always be done in time to leave the wounds to dry and heal over. February is generally spoken of as the month in which to do this work, but the earlier in February the better. Sap usually begins to flow in March. Leases and notices to quit, for sale at this office, tf. laatf 1 r i iT i . I 1 BENJAMINJ1ARRIS0S Former President, Statesman and Soldier Dead. IHrRESSIVE RURAL SERVICES. President McKlnley Among; the MoirBfM at Indianapolis Cloa ! Semes Salable ( reer Sketched. INDIANAPOLIS. March lS.-Snr-rouuled by fully lo.CS"! of his fellow citizens the remains of itcnjaniiu Harri son were yesterday interred in the fami ly lot in Crown Hill cemetery. Close by the srsre were the members of his fam ily. President McKinley and other vis itors of distinction and the more intimate friends of General Harrison. Bark a , diftaiK-e of 5(1 yards tx-hind ropes guard- J ed sealonsly by a large force of police stood with uncovered hesds the great multitude who knew him not so well as diil they who stood beside the freshly up- , turned earth, but who honored him and ; admired him quite as much. It is doubt ful if any public mnn, at least in this generation, has leen borne to his last resting place among so unmy innnifeta tlnr.s of reiert. Of passionate grief there was little outside the members of bis family, hut the tribute of respect was universal. The weather, like that of Saturday, was spli ndid. bright sunlight, the warm breath of xpritig in. every breeze and yet in the nir a touch of winter that brought the blood to the cheek and a sparkle to the eye. The services at the church and grave were simple in the extreme, all in most excellent tnte, and, like the proceedings S.iturday, there wns on utter absence of friction in everything that was done. All was well ordered ami well p rformed. At the Harrison home lfore the re mains were taken to the First Presby terian church, where the full service was held, there were brief exercises for the members of the family rind the more im mediate friends of Gruerul Harrison. BEX JAM IX HARRISON'. Possibly 1.7) people were present. Mrs. Harrison did not appear, but remained in her mom until it was time to leave for the church. There were several thousand people around the Harrison residence as the fu neral procession moved away, but the crowd there was insignificaut to that gathered around the church. It was 2:S0 o'clock when the proces sion arrived at the church, and for an hour and 20 minutes before that time the church bad been packed to its ut most capacity. m In fact, its capacity was stretched somewhat, and in places in side the building the people were wedged together much too tight for comfort. Dr. Haiaes opened the church service by repeating: "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believetb on me, though be were dead, yet shall he live, and be that liveth and believeth on me shall never die." Dr. Xiccolls then read from I Corin thians, xv, 35-38, inclusive, after which Mr. Haines offered prayer. After the prayer the choir rendered the hymn "Hock of Ages" in a beautiful and im pressive manner. This was General Har rison s favorite hymn, and it is said it Is the only one he ever attempted to sing. Following the hymn Dr. Xiccolls read portions of Scripture from the four teenth chapter of St. John and the twenty-first chapter of Revelations, after which Dr. Haines delivered the funeral address. After the address Dr. Xiccolls offered prayer. The services were closed with a ban-tone solo, "Hark, Hark. My Soul." rendered by Edward Xell, in which the entire choir joined in the chorus. The party left the church in the same order in which it entered. For the most part those who attended the church serv ices left immediately for Crown Hill cem etery. The lust restms place of ex-President Harrisou is a tomb five feet deep. Incased in granite four inches thick and covered with a granite top of the some thickness. On the reverse side of the cover is the simple inscription, "Henjauiin Harrison, ISM-l'JUl." The interior of the tomb was decorated with ferns so profusely that no sign of earth or stone was visi ble. Downs of exquisitely beuutiful floral tributes were placed on the tomb and on the ground about it. As the peo ple slowly left the cemetery the distant boom of aiiuon tiling the national salute came to their ears, and by the time the last guu was fired tho uight was down and the grave ulone. CLOSING SCENES. Death of Former I'resldeat Ilarrlsus) ' Qolrt and I'alnless. i INDIANAPOLIS, March 14. General Benjamin Harrison died nt 4:-15 o'clock yesterday afternoon without regaiuing consciousness. His death was quiet and painless, there being a gradual siukiuj until the end came, which was marked bj a single gasp for breath as life departed from tha body of the greut stutesniuu The relatives, with a few exceptions, nnc several of bis old and tried friends wert at the former president's bedside whet be passed away. News of the death spread quickl) through the city, and several of the morl Intimate friends at once hurried to tht Harrison residence. The word was Hash ed from the bulletins of all the uewspa pers end thint communicated to the peo ple on their way home in the evening The announcement produced the creates' sorrow. Within t few momeuts the ilugi en all the pnblic buildings and most of the down town business blocks were hoisted at half mast and other outwsrd manifestations of mourning were made. General Harrison had been unconscious for hours before his desth, the exact time when he passed Into a comatose state being difficult to determine. In one of the last pnhlic speeches which the late Benjamin Harrison made he said: "This country of our is worthy of ont love. It should be before everything else but God. Wife, children, mother, lover all these men have put aside for it." These words of Mr. Harrison were the sincere convictions of his heart, and the sentiment they contain is that of good patriotism. The future historian, in esti mating the character of this remote suc cessor of George Washington, will not Judge Benjamin Harrison by what he has said, bnt what he has done, and he will find bo paucity of deeds in his search foi material. It was one warm June day nearly S3 years ago when Harrison gave his 'first and greatest proof of devotion to his country. Governor Oliver P. Morton of Indiana met him In the street and said. "Ben. I want yon to raise a regiment." Ben did not hevitate a moment. He rais ed the regiment and went to the front with it. As gallant, intelligent soldier he stood in the first rank. Bcnjamiu Harrison was likewise a poll tician. But thst fact did not interfere with his patriotism. He came of a stock about whose devotion to country there could be no question. It was in his blood to stand firmly by the cause which he espoused and which he believed to be the right one. One of his ancestors in a di rect line was an adherent of Oliver Cromwell in the great revolution for con stitutional liberties. Relatives of the HI fated Cromwellian Harrison, believing thst liberty was dead in Enghnd. emigrated to America and settled in Virginia. From this stock was descended the ninth president of the United States, and the son of this ninth president was John Scott Harrison, fa ther of the former president who lies dead in Indianapolis today. History shows us a Benjamin Harrison as a memlier of the Virginia house of burgesses in Revolutionary times, as a signer of the Declaration of Independ ence, a three tiim . governor of Virginia and a member of the constitutional con vention that ratilied the federal constitu tioji. He was the great-grandfather of the man who is now mourned ail over the country. In Indiana narrion was always a fa vorite, although he was horn in Ohio nt Xortu Bend in the year l's'i:!. He was 7 years old when his grandfather was elect ed president of the I'nited States. His energy wns noticed in his early years at school. He leurned his A B C's at a country school not fur from the Ohio homestead. Then he went to Miami university, where be graduated nt the age of IS and very soon after married Miss Iaviua Scott, becoming a father before he was 21. He elected to study law and entered the ofliee of Judge Bellamy Storer in Cincinnati. He forged ahead so rapidly in his studies that he was admitted to the bar before he was of age to vote. He laid the foundation for his greatest honor, however, in 1376, when he emrg- ed from private life to take again an' active part in politics and became the candidate for governor. He was defeat ed, but in the campaign made hosts of friends by bis intrepidity, and four years after, in 1S80, he received the reward of party fealty by being elected to the United States senate. He served the full term. Mr. Harrison was nominated for the presidency in 1S98 and was elected after an unusually exciting campaign against Grover Cleveland. The tariff was the great issue of the election. Mr. Harrison ws president of the United Stales from March 4, 180, to March 4. ISitf. In the course of his administration there were many important achievements. A large increase in the nary was one of these. In 1SU0 Mr. Harrison married Mrs. Mary Lord Dimmick, a niece of the late wife of the Indiana statesman. Mr. Harrison was defeated for re-election by Mr. Cleveland in 1SU4 and re tired from public life thereafter, writing occasional magazine articles and resum ing the practice of law.

Th police have notified house owners to have their dvorniks. or house police, report for duty and hold themselves in constant readiness. A sotnia. or company of Cos sacks, passed the Moscow gate on tb" way to Tssrskoe-Selo, 17 miles south of St. Petersburg, where the ctar has just removed to. The police said tbey would escort the ctar back to the winter pal ace and that he would return by car riage instead of by rail. It appears more probable, however, that the Cos sacks were merely scut to Tsarskoe Selo as a precaution since his majesty is more easily protected there than here. Serious riots occurred in St. Peters burg yesterday on the occasion of a sol emn mass in the Cathedral of Our Lady f Kasun for the repose of the soul of M. Bogoliepoff. the minister of public in struction, who was shot and fatally wounded by Karpovich. The police fired their revolvers, and it is rumored thst five students were killed and eight others Other seriously or slightly injured. Wholesale arrests, including many wo men, followed the rivtiug. It is apparently confirmed that three students were killed Sunday. The Cos sacks rode Into the crowds on the side walk, and many faces were cut open by their knotted whips. Studcut and work ingmen threw rubber shoes, canes and snowballs at the Cossacks. It is re ported that one Cossack wns killed. An oHiciul of the political police said 1.SX) prisoners were taken, amors; them being 3T0 women students. The pres ence of workingmen among the rioters rendered this demonstration more dan gerous than any known in a generation. After reading the manifesto the stu dents threw their crumpled copies into the crowd and raised a flag inscribed, "For Libertyl" The students also shout ed, "Help us get our rights!" aud the mob rvsliuiided with cheers.

Andrew Canicitie. who tince retiring as an active figure fnm the steel world has been able to devote bis time exclusively to bis oth- , er passion, the founding of libraries, has made bis departure for Europe this I spring memorable by the largest offer of that kind ever advanced. If New York will provide the sites and the mainte nance, he has promised to give $5,UU,000 I to establish 65 branch libraries in this 1 city. The offer, made in a letter to Dr. John S.

PITTSBURG, March 14.-Two com munications from Andrew Carnegie which are officially made public today tell of the steel king's retirement from active business life and of his donation of $5.()U,000 for the endowment of a fund for superannuated and disabled em ployees of the Carnegie company. This benefaction is by far the largest of the many created by Mr. Carnegie and is probably without a parallel anywhere in the world. This fuiid will in no wise in terfere with the continuance of the sav ings fund established by the company. 15 years ago fur the benefit of its employees. In this latter fund nearly $2,0O0.(Xs of the employees' savings are on deposit, on which the company, by contract, pays 6 per cent and loans money to the work men to build their homes.

"TaV.e care of the pennies and the pounds ill take care of themselves." Lare things are but an aggregation of small th.ns. If we take care of the small things we are in effect taking care of the large thing which the small things combine to make. Take care of what you eat, when you eat, and how you eat, and your stomach will take care of itself. Hut who takes care of such trivial things ? That is why, someday, the majority of people have to take care of the stomach.
