In slavery days the people down South didn’t'have negroes to burn. Talking of‘the dogs of war,- is not . this censoring of stories from the front a kind of cutting their tales short? Gatacre did one intelligent thing He selected for his licking a place with ' such a name that the ribald eculdh’t w1th any show of justice say‘ he got it in the Nek. There is a slightdash of insignifi- cance in the fact that the member of the Kentucky board of election com- . and who dosen’t understand the law was in favor of awarding the certificate of , election to Mr. Goebel. It appears that the undoing of Goebel was due to too much learning. The werding of the document just re- ceived at 'Washington by Monsignor Martinelli, wherein the Pope grants unusal privileges to the Catholics of the world in connection with the celebra: tion of the New Year, makes it clear that the Holy See regards I the lst of next month as the beginning of the Twentieth century. Zangwill’s play, “The children of the Ghetto," produced in London for the first time this week, met with a dubi- There were both hiss- ing and applause in the audience, a large portion of which was composed of Jews. The newspapers say the act- ing was excellent, but few of them commend thesubject or its treatment. Jacob A. Riis’ notion as expressed in , a recent article in the Atlantic Month- ly, that every reform movement ought to have a professional humorist at tached to it, “to keep it from making itself ridiculous by either too much so- .lemnity or too much conceit” is one that will appeal to the average observ- er of these days of anti-imperialism, anti-polygamy, blue law revivals and what not, but 1s doubtful if the pro- fessional humorists are numerous enough to go around. K John Balle, a recent arrival in New York from Europe, comes with his mother-in-law, with whom he eloped after quickly tiring of his 14-year-old wife. Mr. Balle has thus furnished a situation as yet untried by the drama- tists, besides confounding the humor- ists, and still he is not happy.

Women Not Allowed at Funerals. , which, by the way, was also in force in England till within recent years, for- bids women to attend funerals, and they donot appear at weddings unless they are very intimate friends. S’Vhen a funeral procession passes through the streets the coffin is carriedppon the shoulders of the pall bearers, who are followed by an empty hearse drawn by two, four or six horses, according to the means of the mourners and their de- sire for display. All the male members of the family and friends of the de- ceased follow on foot, with a line of empty carriages behind them. As long as they are in the presence of the dead it is considered a proper and necessary evidence of respect to walk. After the body has been committed to the grave those who attend the funeral are brought home 1n the carriages. -—House- ‘hold “bids. 11— Market Special. is not alone' 1n its detel m1nat1on to mas- ing the rise. and fall of prices.
