One of the Oldest and Most Autocratic of
American Combinations.

One of the Oldest and Most Autocratio of
American Combinations.
The coffin trust is one of the oldest
Of the obnoxious combinations OF cap
italists for the advancement of prices
in their wares, and is also one of the
strongest. In fact, every attempt dur
ing the past few years to get into tho
business without first knucl1ling down
to the trust has proven failure. The
only undertaken in Chicago who has
succeeded in continuing in the bust
ness without paying tribute to tho
trust is one who does his own manu-
featuring and finishing. When tho
trust was first formed il consisted only
of combinati on of firms manufaetur-
ing and dealing in the bent wood
only used in manufacturing collins.
Year after year the trust has
been gradually enlarged until
it now includes the hardware,
cloth, metallic and in fact every thing,
and the manufacturers refuse to sell
any unfinished collins. The combina-
tiOn is now so strong that any firm at
tempting TO engage in the busiRess
without first depositing a forfeit and
signing the iron-clad agreement OF the
trust is at once boycotted. and manu-
facturers of the various articles used
in making and finishing coffin are
prohibited from selling goods to the
outside firm on PAIN of being included
in the boycott. From year to year, at
the annual meeting. of the trust, the
price of the various articles used has
been increased until at the present
time a coffin, when completed, costs
fifty per cent more than it did eight
years ago, and there seems to be no
remedy for the evil. At least num-
Der of the undertakers in Chicago who
were talked with by reporter claim
this to be fact. One OF them said:
''If I should buy single article man
ufactured outside of the trust, and the
fact became known, the trust would in
the future refuse to sell me any goods.
Experiences of the past have proven
so cOnclusively that the trust has
every thing SO completely in its own
hands it wouldn't be safe for me to in
cur its displeasure by encouraging a
new outside enterprise. Not long ago
a company was organized in Indiana
to go into the coffin manufacturing
business. and member OF the firm
came to Chicago to look over the field.
They agreed to furnish cofins nearly
fifty per cent. cheaper than we are at
present paying for them, but failed to
get sufficient encouragement TO go on
with the enterprise, as every one APP
peared afraid to deal with them, and
the enterprise was abandoned. We
hear a good deal about the Whisky
Trust and other combinations, but
none of them are as strong and arbi-
trary as the Coffin Trust. Chicago

THE AMERICAN CROW.
How His Several Caws Differ from Ea,
Other.

How His Several CRws Differ from Each
other.
I am sorry the character Of the crow
is so irretrievably bad, for there Is
much that is interesting about him.
In some respects he is even useful He
acts to some extent as a scavenger, he
eats few grubs i'm the meadows and
pastures, and is said to be in much de-
mand occasionally for furnishing forth
the tables Of disappointed, disgrunt-
led politicians. His glossy, blue
black color is fine enough to give
certain beauty to his somewhat un-
calmly form. But the chief point Of
interest about him is his voice, which
on certain occasions is wonderfully ex-
pressive and human. II you come
suddenly upon the place where a COM
pany OF marauding crows are commit
ting their depredations the one that
has been placed as sentinel will fly
over your head on discovering you,
crying hal ha! hal with force of ex-
preston which Edwin Booth could
scarcely equal. He gives the "h"
sound with a strong aspiration and
prolongs the vowel sound to give IL it's
full force. "Ha! ha! ha!n he will cry
from above the streets with startling
effect, just as If he had caught you In
some villainy, and just as you might
say the same word If you had caught
some one else in a yillainy, and at first
blush he will make you feel as If you
yourself were the culprit. / know OF
no bird elocution equal TO this. His
ordinary cry Is the same syllable re-
peated more rapidly in a not unmusical
voice. But without any attempt at
forcible eloeutionary expression. and
sometimes varies the 'haw" TO cav
or adding syllable makes it "caw-er.
His call to his mate Is the syllable
couk, couk. couk, couk, usually four
times repeated. But his faculty OF
speech seems to be limited TO the vowel
sounds aw and Ou and the consonant
sounds h, k and r. In this respect he
is by no means equal to some OF his
foreign relations. He Is, however,
much smarter bird than his English
cousin, the rook, but unfortunately his
smartness all runs to mischief. Hart
