gain this year is due to the increase in
local traffic, which has made up for the

What Ails the People ?
IPeck's Sun.l

Probably the most singular funeral ever held in this country was that held at Cowanda, N. Y., few days ago. Mir. Stebbins, editor of the Patriot. at that place, follower of the no, so very meek, and not so terribly lowly Ingersoll, died, as all good and bad must die. Previous 10 his death he stipulated that there should be no minister any. here within gun-shot of the funeral, and no services except those of society he belonged to, which consisted of planting body to quick music. IL was requested that on the way to the grave the crowd should sing. "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and on the return from the grave they should sing, Goodbye, My Lover, Goodbye" The request was car ried out to the letter, and those who were on the streets when 1t went along, say that 1t was the worst cross between mel ancholy and hilarity that was ever wit messed. The cold clay of the late la mented was in the hearse, and as the driver of that solemn looking wagon raised his voice to sing about Johnny $ march through Georgia, and the mourn CTS took 1t up, and the rest of the follow
 
 the only ones that seemed to appreciate the mournful occasion. IL Is hard to make people laugh al funeral, but when the corpse prepares the programme of hilarity, people who are mere spectators are apt to smile, even If 1t hurts their feelings. Of course we do not, any of us, know but a deceased person laid to rest under the auspices of a colossal ag- gregation of minstrel talent, will reach the sweet ultimately, as we'll as though gwen a send oil al the hands of pre- siding elder and a paid choir, but the way the world wags it looks good deal better to have little praying than a good deal of profanity at funeral, and the grand old song. Sister, Thou art Mild and Lovely, sung at long meter, sounds more appropriate over grave than. She's Daisy, She's a Dumping" This IS only matter of taste, to be sure. and there IS no law against an inhdel or any other man being hauled to the cemetery m hand-cart, followed by dancing Zu- variety show behind the cart and double clog dance artists hoeing 1t down on a raised platform, and boxing match and a roos CT fight following the procession, bu, l, looks bad. Most inhdels desire a ! certain solemnity to attend their inter- ment. even fl they do not have the at tendance of clergy. and this case of the deceased editor who made his funeral a variety show IS an unusul one The fu- neral of lngersolls brother, a year or two ago. though not under the auspices of the church, was very solemn, and the brother of the deceased made some most beauti- fui and touching remarks, which caused people of a different belief to at least re- Spect his views of the hereafter. But if Bob had invited in lot of nigger singers to sing 'ohoo Fly. Don't Bodder Me on the way io his brothers grave. and had them sing ''Mulligan's Picnic" songs on the way back. people would have sad he was lacking m common sense. The grave IS solemn thing. and death IS no picnic. and those who make the grave a variety show and consider death d joke. are lacking in sense. whatever their views may be on the hereafter
