Starting from the residence near the Normal College shortly after twelve o'clock yesterday, the remains of Mrs Jno W. Cook were foUo red to their last resting place by a large concourse of relatives and friends The funeral services were conductel in Friends C hurch at Guilford Col lege by Rev. Dr. J. C. Rowe, of West Market street church. The ceremony was beautiful and impressive. "Asleep in Jesus," was sung in subdued tones, sweetly led by Miss Carrie Smith. Scripture lessons were read by Dr. Rowe, after which be made some beautiful sd appropriate remarks about the life and character of the good woman, and emphasized in a most consoling manner the idea that she was not dead, but asleep Dr. Rowe was followed by Rev. A G. Klrkman, who had known the de ceased for many years, and he paid a handsome tribute to her precious memory. A few remarks were made by Messrs. Peela and Jones, after which God be With You," was sung and the large congregation given a last lingering look at the beloved face of the dead. In the quiet churchyard hard by, loving hands placed the sacred form in the earth beneath a bower of lovely autumn flowers, there to sleep until the final summons from above shall call her back and the mortal shall put on immortalit '.

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, CUBA, rorto Rico and the Hawaiian Oroup of Islands will be tbe Chief Subjects Considered. Special to the Telegram . Washington, Nov. 9 Now that the elections have passed, President Mc Klnley vill in a few days begin to consider the subject matter for his an nual message to congress. He will not begin the actual writing of the message probably until about Thanks giving day, but he will before 'that time begin to gather the material which will be included in it. Already the members of the cabinet are busy preparing their own messages which are submitted to the president in ad vance of the assembling of congressj and which they -desire to be incorpo rated in the document. Of course it is impossible to forecast with any degree of accuracy tbe sub jects of which the president will treat, but undoubtedly the situation in the Philippine Islands will be the one sub ject which will attract the greatest in terest. At the white house it was stated the other day that the result of the elections, however they might turn out, would not in the slightest change tbe present policy of the administra tion. Now that the republicans have carried Ohio by an increased majority and made large gains in the interior of New Yoik state, besides scattering gains in the West, and have held their own elsewhere, excepting in Maryland ind Nebraska, the president is likely to feel that his policy, if it has not gained anything for his party, has not at least been openly rebuked, and to feel that it indicates that the people are determinsd that his policy in con ducting the war in tbe Philippines shall have a fair trial. So he is now more than likely to adhere to the course he has mapped out in dealing with the problem which confronts him in the management of the Philippine war. Among other r9Commendations likely to be incorporated in the coming mes sage are recommendations for tbe fu ture policy in reference to Cuba.Porto Riuo and the Hawaiian islands. In dealing with the latter subject, the opinion is universal in Washington among those in a position to know the president's views Is that he will recom mend the territorial form of govern ment for the islands, and will also recommend certain legislation, such as the extension of the public land laws, the prevention of Chinese immigration, etc , as may be necessary. There will be many subjects treated if in the message of importance to the south. It is expected that he will urge upon congress the immediate ne cessity of legislation regarding the Nicaratruan canal, and the continua lion of the work begun uder the au thority of the last congress. It is also likely that the president will be urged by southern people to incorporate in u e message this year his recommen dations of th last two documents rc--p ting th- orgtn z ition ot a b -teriological commission to examiut into and investigate methods for the prevention of ellow fever in the Southern states. This subject just now s regarded as tn -re imperative tbc. ever, owing to the f.ct that Porto Rico and Cuba are now practically included in the territory of the United States. It is said that upon the return of Admiral Dewt-y to Washington from New York, with Mrs. Hazen, and her mother, that they will be entertained by a number of well known Washing- tonians, who are prominent in the so cial world. In accordance with the wishes of the admiral, and his pros pective bride, however, the entertain ments and dinners to be given in their honor will be mostly of an informal character. General Fitzhugh Lee, who has been in Washington for several days, has returned to Richmond, and will spend the present week in that city. The general during his stay in this city has received many callers. Miss Stella Capo has left for her home at St. Augustine, Florida. She has been visiting friends in Washing ton for some time, and had a very de lightful visit. On her way home she may stop at some of the southern cities en route. Miss Pickett Heath, of Virginia, a niece of Governor Tyler, is visiting friends here She ill rtmain in Washington for some time. The defeat of Governor Lowndes in Maryland has occasioned more talk than al the other results of tbe elec tion 0 mbin. d.

New York, Nov. 8 A writer in the New York Press says : "I was in Chattanooga today," writer a f-iend who occasionally sends me bits of news along the road, "and I called on the actress, Julia Morrison, who is charged with the murjer of Ac tor Leiden on the stae of the opera house a few weeks ago. 'It was 12 o'clocn when I reaeoca the jail, but I could not see her, as the jailer said she must not be cisturbei. He added that he never awakes her up until 1 o'clock. ''She is looked upon a- an np ' n" boarder at the couot b.i 1 n treatment is more on in.; iu r .t what one would expect foi' a heroine than an assassin. "She is made as much of as though she were a veritable q'len. F-om what 1 con see here, all a woman need do in order to break into the social circles of Chattanooga is to kill a man. ''This one has a splendid room in the jail, and it is furnished elegantly i'he mayor of the city and his ife are among those who call upon the Morrison woman with frequency, and she is every day the recipient of flow ers and other gifts from foolish school girls. "Several days ago she expressed a wish for a dog, and fully one hundred people called at the jail with a large assortment of canine animal -i from which she selected the one that best suited her. "The jailer told her she might go to the theatre in the custody of a guard, but her attorney objected to this on the ground that it might reduce the sym pathy created for his client. "A man who saw the shooting told me it was the most deliberate and cold blooded murder he ever heard of It is common talk, however, that the woman will never be convieted. "When she is not busy receiving visitors she spends her time trying to write plays. "Her husband is in Chattanooga working in a cigar store, and goes to the jail at meal time to eat with her. cau you beat it?" Negro tllminated In New Orleans. New Orleans, Nov. 8.
