Mrs. Mary Vermere died yesterday Of
infrmitics of age. at the residence of her
son in Hits addition on Lynde street, aged
~; years herIremalns will be inferred in the
Catholic cemetery.
Although there is heavy fine in con
nection with this burial permit business
yet it is continually violated. AS will be
seen by sec. 8 of the ordinance regarding
such matters, burial permit from the
board of b ealth must be handed to the SUI
perintendent of the cemetery before the
funeral enters under a penalty of fine
of not less than SO or more than 5000
Now in a great many cases the permit has
been obtained after the funeral had taken
place. Now by this not only does the
party getting the permit violate the ordi-
nance. but the superintendent of the Gem
etery does also. There is evidently a
looseness somewhere that should be
righted.

with Mrs. Norris, better know as Lillian
Brown. and wife of the composer of the
music of the play. as she was seemingly the
only stick" in the company. After they
played at Grand Rapids, Mich, week
ago, he left them, and as he was the lead
ing character, they were compelled to
collapse" This company will be remem
bered as the one that entertained Moline
