Where Children Arc stolen.

Incidents have recently occurred in Naples
which remind us Of what happened both here
and in Sicily some thirty or forty years ago.
A cry was raised then that "poisoners' were
about infiicting fearful suffering under the
name OF cholera. Suspected persons were
hunted In the streets as though they were
wild beasts; humanity in an active form was
regarded as a crime, and benevolent persons
prescribing or giving remedies to sufferers
were In universal dangero of becoming victims
Of popular fury, Many years have passed
since then, yet under different name very
similar facts have occurred within the last
few days. ~ rapftari di fanciulli' tthe cap
tors of children) has been the cry Of alarm,
and O perfect panic ensued- Mothers shut up
their children in their houses. The doors Of
the infant and higher schools were besieged
by crowds Of weeping women looking for
their children, and giving orders to the mis-
tresses not to intrust them to any but trust
worthy persons commissioned by the rela-
tives.
In spite Of all efforts to disabuse the minds
Of the ignorant, the panic continued. There
were not many children said to DO missing
but where were they7 AS Is always the case
In such circumstances, reports were circu-
lated by Ill disposed persons, sure to find be-
levers among ignorant multitudss Per.
haps the panic was due TO certain extent to
an order lately issued by the government to
tho projects Of the kingdom to compile a
statement Of those who live forgotten in the
streets, without houses or families. / am
not surprised, however, at any amount Of
excitement In a city and province where the
purchase and sale Of human beings for the
most degrading purposes, il not connived at,
have not been suppressed far more rigidly
than they have been. Thanks to interna-
tional regulations, however, between Italy
and the United States, this tremendous evil
win DO at least greatly checked-so far as re-
CARDS those countries. Naples Letter In

FUNERAL REFORM NEEDED.
A Strong Plea Made on Sanitary Grounds.
An ETvfI

An Evil
The Church of England Burial Funeral
and Mourning Reform association and its
friends believe that the time has arrived
when determined and united effort should
be made on the part of ministers, physicians
and surgeons, sanitarians and persons Of in
fuence generally to put stop as far as pos
sible to the prevalent and what is practically
regarded as repulsiye and utterly indefen-
sible practice of storing up in the neighbor-
hood of great populations vast Accommodations
Of human remains in every stage Of arrested
and prolonged decay, to the great detrinent
Of the public health.
The society was organized eleven years
ago in York, one Of the promoters being the
late Archdeacon Hey. 1t had to encounter
deeply rooted prejudice, trade interests,
ignorance and lukewarmness, but encourr
aging progress has been made. The work
has necessarily been largely educational, the
aim being to teach the rich and intelligent so
that they may set examples to the middle
and lower classes. In a broad sense. the OBJ
ject is to promote fuller appreciation OF the
idea of Christian burial. to simplify and
cheaper funeral and mourning ceremonial,
to encourage timely burial In perishabie
collins in simple earth, and to discourage
vaults and sarcophagf
Some of the specific reforms urged are
these: The use Of plain hearses or wheeled
biers, the avoiding of excessive floral decora-
tions, the disuse of Grape, scarfs, feathers,
velvet trappings and the like; the meeting in
the churchyard or cemetery instead Of at the
house of mourning; the early interment
Of the body In soil sufficient and suitable
for its resolution to its ultimate elements;
the use of such materials for the coffin
as will rapidly decay after nature; the en-
couragement, on sanitary grounds, of the re-
moval in crowded districts OF the body to
mortuary instead Of retaining it in the
rooms occupied by the living; the substitu-
ton Of burial plots surrounded by coping for
family vaults and tho impressing upon off,
cia1s the claims of the poorest to proper and
reverent burial
One of the points made must come home to
many residents Of this city. 1t Is the evils of
expensive funerals. 1t is a matter Of every
day experience that when the head Of o fam
| lily dies the widow aud children are found
soon after In a state Of restitution, though a
large sum has been received by benevolence,
most Of which was spent on an ostentatious
funeral and mourning. Many workingmen
| burden themselves with debt to honor their
| dead, but while the society does not desire to
discourage giving honor to the dead, 1t
thinks that the dead can be better honored
| by the survivors aiming at higher and
| nobler lives. New York Times.

Exch ing Their own Language.

There Is ono thing noticeable IN Sc. Louis,
and probably elsewhere. and that is the dis
position Of citizens born in foreign lands
who understand the English language
to teach that language to their chill
dren to the exclusion OF their own
language There are hundreds Of German
and italian families in st. Louis whose chill
dren are ignorant of the language Of their
parents country, but who can speak English
Huently. While the old English stock viii
be eradicated and absorbed by other nation
alities IN the United States in the not distant
future, the English language viii, therefore,
forever remain the language Of the country.

Raising Bananas I'm Jamaica.

Besides the regular and sometimes extern
sive banana plantations, thousands Of punches
Of bananas are raised In Jamaica by the
colored people, few here and fcw there
Nearly every colored man living in the rural
parts has his few banana trees scattered here
and there about his patch, y and gathers In q
few half dollars annually by carrying his
punches to market Often he carries bunch
for miles on his head, but oftener yet he sends
his wife with 1t. Everywhere about the island
bananas are growing, and the plants do more
than anything else possibly excepting the
darkies and the cocoanutsl to give Jamaica
Its tropical appearance. The banana Is one
of the most graceful of plants, with its leaves
often six feet long and six inches broad,
dropping, bright. green and fresh. But a
heavy wind Sits tho leaves into shreds and
turns them brown, and then their beauty is
gone
A series of pictures representing tho life
and travels of the banana would make q
schoolboy wonder as he invests his penny
and fills himself with the ripe fruit He
would SEQ rough field on mountain side
in tropical land, and on q winters morning

boys and girls, all colored and oil very lightly
clad, working among the long leaves and the
thick, rough stalks. He would see a big
darby como along with cutlass and, with
ono heavy blow, cut his banana from the
tree He would sec II afterward going over
a steep and rocky path down the hill to the
coast, riding uneasily upon the back of a
shaggy, hungry, but patient and contented
little donkey. He would see it carried aboard
the steamer, after being inspected and
passed, and packed away In the dark hold,
and carefully watched till 1t reached New
York, and taken in hurry to q warehouse
and hung up In warm room to ripen for
him. And after it has gone through all this,
after the planter has made his profit ON it,
and the darkies have made their wages, and
the donkey has earned his grass out Of it,
and the steamship has been paid for carrying
it two or three thousand miles, and the i'm,
porter has made something out of 1t, and the
retailer has made his profit, then tho boy
buys it for penny and is happy. Cor New

has every prospect of being an active
one in the Dry Goods trade, and We
are always prepared for emergencies
especially at this season of the year
We open this morning some OF
the prettiest novelties in Fall Dress
Goods. The all-wool fabrics are
prettily set off in plaids two and
three inches wide, with silk stripes.
The colors, and combinations Of
colors, are SO woven together as to
make an exceedingly beautiful pat
tern, something entirely new in this
line. We have them marked at 40
and SOC. OF course they won't stay
long, 50 you will have to buy early.
A better class of dress novelties at
79c. The beauties are classed at
$l.59. You can't find their like

Prices from 99c. to "a. We can suit
you in heavier shawl for Winters
wear. Price ranges from $l.25 up.

for the new dress novelties are very
unique. Partisan fashions have been
copied, and we get the benefit Of ii
for our customers. The latest thing
is the embroidered Galloon for trim
ming. Do you know what it is ?
1t is an openwork of raised cloth in
all designs apd every new shade.
The price is $l.85 a yard. Another
starter is the embroidered Gauze
Band Trimming, at S1.99. This
has foundation of light gauze, thus
differing from the Galloon. These
are the correct styles for Fall wear.

The Best Time to Buy valuables.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't gofar. The purchasing
power Of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade In word we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock III various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits. new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
80 on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we will sell gerry
close to move some of it. This is good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods For personal use or
adornment we offer line par excellence c.
Ladies' nne Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jewelry, etc.
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give noto. They
will keep, and you will save money.
