A NEW KIND OF DEADHEAD.
Queer Freight Which Express Companies
Often Find ON Their Hands.

"Oh, yes, corpses ore shipped every day
by express" said the manager of one of the
large express companies in this city. 81 In
most instances some Of the friends or rela-
hves of the deceased accompany the coffin
on the same train, but very often we take
corpse the same as we would any article
OF merchandise. OF course we do not take
them collect on delivery, unless it should
be the remains of some one who has left
considerable wealth behind, or when the
person who attends to the shipping is well
known to us. 1t is necessary to be very
particular on this point. have known ex-
press companies to get in bad pickle by
taking corpse &C. o. D. OF course we
charge more for shipping a corpse than any
other kind of freight, and require deposit
to insure funeral expenses in case it should
be left on our hands.
We do this because there have often
been cases where express companies had to
pay for the burial. Not long ago n corpse
was shipped here from Cincinnati. It was
consigned to family living in Fiftieth
street, but they refused to allow it in the
house, as the brother of the dead man, who
had lived at this place, had moved away no
one knows where. So we were obliged to
bury it."
II know several other mistakes similar
to this. About year ago man committed
suicide in Detroit. He was hotel clerk
and considerable money was found upon
him, besides q card with the address of n
family living in Brooklyn. 1t was known
that his wife lived with her father and
mother in Brooklyn and it was concluded
that it was her address that was on the card.
Acting on this supposition his remains were
shipped to the address. Early one morning
q few days afterward, the express wagon
landed the coffin at the door. In the mean.
time, however, the people had been notified
of the shipment by telegraph. They refused
to allow the casket in the house, saying
they had never heard of the man. The ex-
press company were compelled to employ
an undertaken to keep the body on ice while
the case was investigated. The dead mans
wife was finally found, but, as she had been
ill-treated by her husband, she refused to
interest herself about the burial of his body.
Fortunately for the express people the man
had left sufficient money to pay his funeral
expenses.
Last summer a man died at Hot Springs,
Ark. just before his death he stated that
be owned valuable property at Peoria, ILL.,
1t being deathbed statement he was be-
ieved and for that reason the local express
agent sent his remains to PEORIA @. o. d.
Ii turned out that the man did not leave q
cents worth of either real or personal prop
erty."

Destroy that Sign.

One may feel that he's getting old, but
he naturally dislikes that anything about
his appearance should advise others of
the fact. Yet nothing does this so eff

shows this fatal sign. Parker's Hair

PHILADELPHIA. December %. Il

Il tedious '84.
The year has been pecu-
liar. There's instruction to
be got from its flight. Let's
look for it.
To begin with, there was
no sign Of extraordinary
depression year ago; but
the pace of general trade
was visibly slow. Anticipat-
ing some decline in prices
we sold enormously in Janu-
airy at whatever things would
bring, some without profit,
some at a rate little short of
the comical.
Having sold we bought as
freely, and gained a season.
We sold what belonged to the
hurrying winter, and bought
what belonged to the coming
spring. The hardness of
selling made buying easy;
and again we sold in a way
to keep trade moving. Sum.
mer found us with trade en-
larged though profits di-
lninished.
Again we had our choice,
TO go ON or slacken pace.
The times were still more
critical. Merchants were
falling; goods were falling;
buyers of all sorts tax
ing alarm, economizing, buy
ing less, though at advanta
geous prices. Again we
overran Europe. But the
sword of Damoeles was
hanging over US. We
bought with caution and
made your money go as far
as we could.
Your money we say adj
visedly. Kon1 money al
last has paid the bills.
We need not go over tn,
tale of the last half yea
In the midst of your Christ.
mas revel you scarcely care
to stop to weigh our share il
bringing about the present
abundance. But what W
have done is SO apart fren
the usual course of bushes
that we are disposed to thinl
it over; and, because oul
future concerns you about
as much as ourselves, and
because we look to you fol
it, we are doing a part q
our thinking aloud.
The year that is past ha
been a year of hardship ii
general 5; but for us, on thc
whole, a year of success
September was the frs
month in which our sales
ever fell short of the sales
of the previous year. Oc-
tober and November were
losing months. December
is evidently going to turn out
a gain. And, SO little the
autumn losses we're, the year
on the whole is a gain.
Every one of you almost
says to himself q have spent
less money this year; how
can Wanamaker have pos
sibly sold more goods than
ever before?" The ques-
ton is worth our answer
and our answer shall be
worth your hearing.
More people have come.
The fall in goods and the
fall in buying are more ii II
made good by the lumber
of buyers. The number of
buyers, of course, depends
on what we give for dollar.
We have given more than
ever; and SO more buyers
have come. Besides, the
natural result of our liberal
policy is to increase the area
of trade. Why shouldn't
our trade increase, even
though money so up and
goods go down?
What next?
Just now a little rest. We
need it. Our faithful people
need it. The time invites tc
rest. But shortly a new
year begins. We've got to
consider how to begin it.
That is what we are thinking
about.
Are the times any easier ?
Is money easier to get? A'e
there people still within trad
ing distance to VIM Is
there a better way to win
than by money, when money
is dear?
We do not know how
prices are going to rule, nor
how the times are going to
be. We think bottom is
