That Funeral Committee.
Kijjlit members of tbe last legis
lature tittouilud the funeral of the
late Dr. JlcCook of Fulton county.
They rode on the railroad to Mcr
certiburs and from there they roilo
iu hacks to LleCouuelsbiirj;. Their
bill of espouses was !jSH71. This
makes nit average of each. Is
thero any voter in Snyder county
who would liko to have such a job
of attendiuir fuuends, 81 for
about two days and pay your own
expenses? How many workmen in
Snyder county aio nblo to earn 81
in a whole ijrarf Representative
Smith of Bedford, a member of this
committee, said they were nt no ex
expense except hack hire and Mr.
Smith wanted nothing. We have
no record of any one else on the
committee making such a remark
and so wii proHume they took all
they could get.
We reprint below an extract of
the House proceedings in the Phila.
Press ol Juno 2'Jth. From this it
appears that only five members at
tended tho funeral making an aver
age cost of $120 a piece.
When the itom in the general ap
propriation bill of $'71 drawn in fa
vor of Representative Long, chair
man of the committee on the part of
the House to represent the House
at tho funeral of tbe P. McCauley
Cook, of Fulton county, was repre
sented. Representative Ely called
upon Chairman Lonir, of the couiinit-
taa frti n arntamant. na in how HO
much money could bo expended in a
trip to Fulton County. Uopresenta
tive Long tried to explain, by Bay
ing that the funeral expenses had
been paid by the coram rttetf,' bui
finally wound up by sayiug:
"I don't care what you do with
tliiu liill T li ft it. to tliii Serceant el-
Anus to preparo a bill that he
thought was right. All I want is to
see the legitimate and just expenses
paid."
This tacit declaration that there
were Hume items that were legiti
mate and just raised a general
laugh throughout the House.
Cost of u run criil Trip.
Representative Spat followed in
a apt cch that still further convulsed
tho members, half of whom were iu
the aisles, Mr. Spatz said that the
bill had been made up by the Ser-geant-at-Arms
After the funeral
tho committee met iu the coiner of
a gallery of Grace Church, and tho
question was "How much wilt we
charge fur this funeral." Mr. Spatz
said that he had loaned tho Sergo-nut-at-Arms
ten dollars, but that
had been paid hack to him and he
was satisfied.
"Wc had a ride of twenty miles in
n driving suowstorm," said Mr.
Spatz. "And, gentlemen, we did
actually have carriago hire. We
had tio telegrams or telephoLO mes
sages to pay for, I want to say that
I do not want any mileage. I want
uothiug, and if anything is chargou
to me in that bill I waut it wiped
out. I got my ten dollars back from
the Sergant-at-Arms and I am satis
lied." "I w ant to know," asked Repre
sentative Storr, of Philadelphia,
who was in a very indignant frame
of miml, "if tho gentleman, Mr.
Spatz, did not propose to the Ser
geant -at -rms to charge ur mileage
for two members of the committee
who could not attend the funeral,
and then divide tho sum with the
Sergeant at-Arms?"
Mr. Sp itz replied by saying that
when he had come to tho Legisla
ture he was very green. He was
told that it was customary to charge
mile a. nnd Kll sorts of expenses.
When tlm matter of mileage was
proposed under the circumstances
ho told tho Sergant-at-arnis to go
ahead if it was all right. Now, that
he had seen the evil of his ways, ho
wanted nothing that was not right
and proper.
Full discussion on the bill reveal
ed the fact that the expenses for tho
five members of tho comtnittoo on
the trip down in Fulton County, a
distance of ho milos, or more, had
been obout $120 apiece. Represen
tative Lyt In, in an attack upon the
bill found fault with the charge that
had been made. Ho said that about
the only person who did not charge
for bis expensos in attending the
funond wns tho man that had been
buried. If he could earn money at
that rate, as tho committee had
done, ho would be willing to lay
nai.lo liiii tnrra nml irn into tho him.

hours; a sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre

There is comfort iu the knowledge
so often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem -edy
fulfills every wish in' relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad
