There is no accounting for tastes, and
among wise people there is not much dispui-
ing about them. But even the wise and the
kind-hearted are frequently amused by dis
plays of shockingly bad taste-that is 10 say,
of taste radically different from their own.
In Mrs. Kings book on India, she tells
good story bearing upon this point.
At flower show the ladies were judges IN
one hall, while in another hall the gentlemen
awarded the prizes. A comparison OF results
brought into stronger light the contrast OF
opinions or rather, the difference OF stand
ards.

King, sin awarding the prize for the best ar

most graceful and artistic combination OF

1t was in amusing contrast to another bou-
quet to which the masculine judges awarded
their first prize. We begged them to let US
guess which was the prize winner, and going
round the table we unanimously fixed on
one; but the men shook their heads so we
tried again, and, after fixing unsuccessfully
on three more, we humbly confessed our
selves beaten. - - - ma

BURIAL OF MRS. COOLING.
Fifteen Hundred People Said to Hay,
Attended the Services


Attended the Services.
Very seldom is it that 1900 people al
tend funeral ceremony in this city, yet
that is the number of persons estimated
to have endeavored, many of them in
vain, to view the remains of Mrs. Zelia
Cooling, the woman alleged to have
been murdered by Howard Cooling, her
husband, as the remains lay cold in
death and with countenance like
marble in the front room of the deserted
home at No. Ills Walnut street, yester-
day week.
The street in front of the once cozy
little tenement house was actually
packed with people in either direction.
The tide of visitors anxious to take a
last look AZ the woman whom they had
once known and admired for her many
good traits when living, began its ebb at
10 O'Clock and flowed on until it became
time for the funeral procession to move
at 2 40 p. m. Many passed in at the
door off Walnut street and out at the
rear of the house, after viewing the re-
mains, but as many more failed to OBJ
tain admittance to the house at all.
1t was impossible to admit every one
to the house and those who failed to see
the corpse made desperate efforts to
enter the house. An officer had to be
placed at the door as last resort, with
orders to admit no one to the house.
The room in which the corpse lay was
fragrant with the sweet odor of flowers
and floral emblems donated to the
memory of the deceased. The floral
designs were indeed handsome.
The rooms of the house were Just as
cleanly as they were the night Mrs.
Zelia Cooling breathed her last. From
cellar to attic the best of household dis
cipllne was noticeable, and everything
bespoke the character of the deceased
wife, faithful and true until death, and
the loving mother of her children. The
little ones have not been in the house
since the night OF the murder. They
have found u home with their grand
parents.
The remains lay in a black cloth
covered casket with silver handles. The
woman's countenance was fair and
natural to view, and many who viewed
the deceased made mention of her
natural and comely features.
The obsequies were conducted by the
Rev. J. D. G. Hanna, pastor of Asbury
M. L. Church, and by the Rev. H. b.
Cook of the Second Baptist Church.
Both clergymen paid fitting tribute to
the dead woman's memory and spoke of
her only in the kindest words as
devout church member and Christian
woman.
The pall-bearcrs were Councilman
Maxwell It. Dannenburg, George Buck,
Joseph Locke and Lewis r. Grubb.

Decision Handed Down by Judge Wales
in Favor of LibelIant Carroll.


Judge Wales has handed down a de-
cision in the case of Thomas Carroll VS..
the Walton & Whann Company with a
decree for libellant Carroll and an or
der of reference to ascertain the amounts
respectively due him for freight, de-
murragc and damages.
The suit has been pending since June,
1889. Final argument was made June
18th of this year. The story is that a
cargo of salt was shipped by New York
parties to the Wilmington company on
the canal boat w. L. Duryea, owned by
Thomas Carroll. The Walton & Whann
Company refused to accept the cargo.
1t lay at the company's wharves for
long space of time. The libellant
claimed that while his boat was de-
tanned here it was injured by the action
of the acid contained in the cargo which
had eaten away her oakum and weak
ened the boats lining. This damage,
along with costs of freightage and de-
murrage, the libellant asked that he be
paid by the defendants.
