FUNERAL CUSTOMS In MEXICO.
Efforts Are Made by Friends t,
Cheer Up the Departed's Relatives.

According to the Washington Post,
Nine. Romero, in speaking OF II recent
funeral, said
1t oppressed me to think OF that fam
lily returning to their home, to be left
all alone In that darkened house, w here
memories stand in every corner and
look at one from every picture.
Now, in MEXICO we manage that bet
ter. We have what l think Is n very
comforting custom. In few hours
after the return of the family from the
cemetery all the friends begin to arrive
at the house, aad for nine days they
visit with them, endenvoring by cheer
iul conversation to draw their minds
from the great loss sustained.
There is no hilarity only the tru-
est and deepest sympathy. All the call
ers wear mourning costume, and fail
urc to visit the family during the al.
lotted time il considered u serious
breach OF etiquette. Frequent nllu.
Hi the dead. but there * no time for
broodinH to intensity the grief, and al
the end OF the nine days the keenness
of the sense Of desolation is worn ont
AID the mourners are ready to take III
life again. Isn't that an Improvement
over the American way? =?

Fate of Woman Who Bore False
Witness in Court.
Charles r. d. w. Graves, of Norfolk, Va,
who is stopping at the Southern, says the
st. Louis Sdr-Sdyings, relates very re-
macSable coincidence, which, II substan-
tiated by the facts, would be miracle.
Mr.. Graves, while not q witness to the
affair, nevertheless says it is true. The
story, as told by him. is as follows:
On Wednesday of last week d colored
man named Price was on trial before Jus.
tce of the Peace named Farwell, who had
an Office on the Bridgcton road about eigh-
teen miles from Norfolk.
Price had been beating number Of men
in the neighborhood, and Carolina jackson,
colored woman, was placed on the witness
stand to tell what she knew Of the matter.
She gave her evidence, and was soon after
asked by the Justice:
"Do you know that you are lyingw
She answered. "Yes, SIR"
These were the last words Carolina ever
| spoke She had appeared quite indie
| pendent and to some extent impudent

the last remark a number of questions
were asked, but the woman made no reply.
| Believing she was shamming, the
Justice directed the constable to escort the
witness from the courtroom, but when
ordered to follow by the officer she did not
| move.
Two men of her own color were then told
to carry her out of the room. While In the
act Of carrying her out 1t was plainly visible
she was in helpless condition. She had
been paralyzed in every part. Her limbs
were motionless, her tongue had no power,
and it soon became apparent to all present
that the hand of the Almighty had been
laid heavily upon her
For two hours or thereabouts the woman
remained in this passive state, after which
she was placed in q wagon aud conveyed to
her home. She never moved or spoke after
ward, and on Thursday evening last she ex-
pired.
No antidote applied during the interval
availed in affording the slightest relief. Mr.
Graves says that he will vouch for the truth

More people than those who arc frequent

tidings that the knRly Tenny has probably
run his last race. 1.-The little swayback," "
MS he has been famliarly known, has had a
large constituency outside the regular fol-
lowers Of the turf. His name and fame
have been known where the ordinary run
of racing events was little cared for and
little understood. His performances have
excited an enthusiasm In which were
all the nobler elements Of the sporting
instinct, untsinicd by the baser considcra'
tions which are often the ruin Of true sport.
There is pathos in the sudden breaking
