Rev. Fntlier William A. Ncalon's Funeral Yesterday. Ono of the most Impressive funeral put held In this cltv was that which v.-iis "ht'Id, .vestordpy riioniliifr ni tho Roman" C'rtihiillc church of St. Rose do Lima. The services ovi'i- the body of the lani('iit-il Hov. Father William A. Nc.ilnn. who died In far-off Kentucky, away from home ami kindred, were of tin- incut Imposing character and wore ,v llne'ssed liy an exceptionally largo .tviinber of church dignitaries and by a .congregation that tllleil St. Rose chinch to the uttermost. The- lttn- of carriage was, without exception, ia longest '-oi assembled at a funeral In this illy, and the; procession which followed thej remains or the priori to the feme fry (if St. Hose was composed of a throw; which wan the greatest since iho beloved Father t'arcw was laid In his last resting place. Father Nealon had been a priest at St. Hone's church for five years and had many friends who did their utmost to pny their last respect to him. Al though the services In tho church were not to take place until 10 o'clock, these friends commenced to assemble at the church as early as S o'clock, and Ion? before the hour set the church was illlr.d, with the exception of the pews reserved for tho family and kindred. The funeral cortege left the resi dence of the departed one's parents, lion, and Mrs. John Nealon, on South Church street, at 10 o'clock. It nrrlveu nt the church ton minutes later. The coflln was escorted by a. delegation, twelve In number, from tho Hyde Park council, Catholic Mutual Benevolent association, of Scranton, of which Father Nealon was a charter member. It was met at the entrance to the church by a delegation of priests. The casket was covered with black em bossed broadcloth. A silver crucifix was on the top at each end and In the centre a silver name plate bearing the name, "W. A. Nealon." The altar was draped In black, the aisle candlesticks rested In black urns and every appointment betokened the deep mourning and the solemn cere mony of the Itoman Catholic ritual pertaining to the solemn high mass of tequiem, tho beautiful and Impressive service of the dead. Upward of forty pilests were ushered from a rear room and took seats within the sanctuary after the casket had been brought up the centre aisle and left in front of tho altar rail. When they had all filed In they, lu unison, commenced the chant for the office of the dead, while Fathers Curran, of Wllkes-Barrc, and Hanley, of Hones dale, led the responses. This sublime ceremony was rendered most effective by its being sustained without the ac companiment of the organ, and as the tialnocl voices of the predates swelled and gained In volume, and fell again to a low, walling tone. It produced an effect that could not but be felt by .nvery person within hearing. After the allien for the dead the sol ,cmp high requiem mass was cele brated. Father MotTltt, or Taylor, was .iclebranT: Father Moylan, of Suseiue tia'nifn. deacon: Father Loftus, of Srst'iiton, sub-deacon, and Father Grlf 'lln,' of .Scranton, master of ceremonies. Paring the mass Miss May Mount sans the "Ave Marie" of Gounod In a most effective manner. liluht after mass and prior to the .ceremony' of blessing tho coffin, HI. licv.t'rhomas F. Coffey, rector of the 'cdintGlr, "ma'de'a brief nddress. He be ftuih by-saying that no other object than a wish (o pay his personal tri bute to a priest who Ijnd long been nvoclated' with him would have brought him out In his present physl al condition. Father Coffey was still very weuk, and plainly showed the oficcts of his recent extreme Illness, lie uild that frailty was plainly Pinniped In Father Nealpn's face, as ltwas on the face of all, and that tthrt't Irrw "would come when that frailty murd succumb before the mighty ma IejUy of death.

WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES Regard Peruna as Their Shield Against Catarrh, Coughs, Colds, Grip and Catarrhal Diseases. SIRS.

C, ! the only woman who has ever Iwcn ri candidate for the Presidency of the United States. She Is the best known woman In America. As tho pioneer of her sex In the legal profession she has gathered famo and fortune. In a letter to The Peruna Medicine, Company, she says: " I have used your Peruna for both myself and ray mother, Mrs. Hannah J. Bonnott, now in lior 88th year, and I find it an invaluabl romedy for cold, catarrh, hay fover and kindred diseases ; also a gpod tonic for t'eeblo and old people, or those run down, and with nerves unstrung."

The court Is the on place where groat formality Is observed, and wit nessing the Impression It makes upon the public one may readily understand why tho people who have recently come to us from under the Spanish rule of civil degradation and official splendor should feel that there must be deficiency when- official function aro not conducted with pomp. It can not Justly bo said that the ceremonl ousness of, the Supreme court Is accom panied with pomp and splendor, but there Is about It a formality, reserve nnd enfrced decrum which Is Intended to be Impressive, and Is so. When tho hour comes for tho court to rouveno a barrier of velvet covered lopes Is stretched across tho corridor, so as to preserve a .clear passage from tlm consulting room on one side of tho corridor to tho court room om the other. This blocks the passage from the house of representatives and the rotunda of the senate, and for the brief ( space or time it inices un- me jumiwa to pass Into the court no one- may go beyond the red lines of ropes. Sena tors, representatives, the president himself, should he happen thre. must wait. The members of the court, the chief justice nt their head, with their black robes wrapped about them, inarch In a solemn process-ion, sing!" Ill", from tho consultation room across tho corridor, through the lobby of the court, to their places on Iho bench. ThlH ceremony oecuts whenevet tin court passes in or out of tho court chamber, and there Is Invariably nt iho hour of their assembling n crow 1 of curious sti angers grouped on either side of tho barrier to view this mani festation of dignity. Many icniove their hats us the court llles by, and on every face is an expression of respect and Interest.

Thero li no talking; among thc spec tators when the ceiurl Is in session, and even when the bench Is vacant arul stra tigers nr- vlowlng the deserted chamber they usually speak in whis pers. An old white bearded colored man who sits at the (loop Is the pe..--souillcatlou of sllenco and ellgnity, nnd thu sight of hlni Is enough te niak those even of frivolous mind grow grave and walk on their tlp-toe. He silently, wlih perfectly noiseless mo tion, opens the door to each comer and as noiselessly closes It again, or. If the I'lmmher Is full, stands with lis back to tho door, and. without saying a wend, keeps others from iitteniptlni; to eiitor. Newspaper icportors aro not expected to sit lu the Supi-oni-i court loom. If thev enter they aro I expected to be as other vhltors and Mrs. have catarrh, madam., They will generally reply, 'Oh. no, I never had catarrh. My nose Is perfectly clear, and my breath Is not bad. I am not troubled w 1 1 h coughing orsplt tlng, or nny other dlsaflivu able symptoms of catarrh.' But, my dear madam, you " may have catarrh all the wme, Catarrh Is not always located In the hend. Yin may have catarrh or the lungs, or stomach, or liv er, or kidneys, and especially you may have catarrh ot thc pelvic organs." Tho doctor Mrs. Julia C, Bron of Pccatonlca, Ills., says : " I have used peruna in my nome tor the past fouryears and am trior uglily convinced that it is a reliable family rem edy.'" JuliaBrown ! went on to say: "I have been nr caching this doctrine for tho Inst forty years, but there aro a vast multitude of women who havil never heard It yet. Catarrh may attack any organ of the body Women arc especially llablo to catarrh of tho pelvic organs. There nre one hundred cases of catarrh of the pel vie organs to one of catarrh of the bead. Most people think, because they have not catarrh of the head, they have not catarrh at all. This Is a great mistake, and Is tho cause of many cases of sickness and death." If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use or Peruna. write at once to Dr. Hart-iii-iii, giving a full statement of your case and he will bo pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

When Chief Justice Fuller was In stalled nn exception iaa made, after much Influence- had been brought to bear and after long deliberation, and a certain limited number of newspaper men were provided with seats within the bar of the court. Probably half a dozen such were admitted, and on the desk provided for each was a J quill pen nnd n little square bottla of Ink, which they were expected to use. I When the Kentucky case was belnw jnigued orders were given not to ndmlt newspaper men generally, even m th capacity of visitors. The other day two lawyers met In finite of the court room, nnd one r? minded the other that, though ho had on a black coat, his necktlo was pur ple. The lawyer with thg colored tl had been In the court, room, but the . other could not venture In bccnur.c not expecting or. leaving home that he would visit the capltol, he had worn ! a light spring suit, "lawyers oppear- I Ing within tin barn' the court, though 1 they are meio spectator,', must wea- 1 black. What an awful thing would lumpen If one should appear before the court In a light suit Is not known. for no one has had tun temerity to try It. The dignity and decorum of the touit goes a long way In prevent ing that loss of respect that usually comes from tocf great familiarity, and its etfect is apparent to nn observer.
