FRENCH FUNERAL CUSTOMS.
Cards are Left at the Cemetery by Friends
of tho Deceaaed.

Cards are Left at the Cemetery by Friends
of the Deceased.
One of the very oldest customs in
French cemeteries is the existence Of a
card receiver in the ma jority of the
mortuary chapels. Therein the friends
of the family who pass before the tomb
Of defunct acquaintance deposit
pasteboard that the survivors may
know which of the members of their
Sex has paused to do homage to the
dead. 1t is certainly very civil idea.
but how extremely taken aback would
be the courteous callers if their late
friend were to follow the example of
the statue in Don Giovanni" and re-
turn the call in person.
Another funeral custom in vogue at
present is for the mourners at the
obsequies of some person Of linn
tied means to follow the hearse
in an omnibus. To be sure, it is very
solemn vehicle, all black, with 'Om-
nibus Funeraire" inscribed in large sill
yer letters on either side, SO that the
careless outsider shall not bounce into
the midst of the mourning multitude,
but on the whole it seems to belittle
the dignity of grief. However, the
average Partisan does not specially en-
JOY funerals unless they are grand Off
cial functions, when the crowd that
" good time, and is unsparing of
lively and frivolous criticisms of the
affair.
Women no longer attend ''chic"
funeral in France, which is a great
boon to the fair sex. However, when
an actor of the Francois dies the entire
company, male and female, walk be-
hind the hearse, which always causes
the neIghborhood of the church of St
Roch, the official worshipping place of
the comedie. to be crowded on those CO.
casions with envious gazers, anxious to
know how their footlight favorites will
stand the garish light of day, and il the
coat and trousers Of private life are as
becoming as the classic draperies of
their stage robes to the leading TRACE
dams.
A most painful custom at French
funerals is the posting at the exit door
of the church wherein the ceTemenies
take place of the male head of the de-
ceased parsons family, the widower or
the eldest son or brother, whose duty
it is to shake hands with every person
who has been present at the obsequies,
when once they are over and people
are going away. 1t is not etiquette for
the gentleman to speak to anybody,
but if he is moved to tears his weep
ing is considered a most appropriate
action.
a very beautiful and impressive adj
junet to an aristocratic official Partisan
funeral is the presence inthe process

The Democratic papers, in their at
tempts to nullify the force of Mr.. Peck s
labor report, claim that that gentleman S
omission to state in which cless of indus
tries-protected or nonprotected-the in
crease of wages was made is sufficient
evidence to discredit the report. But
the party managers in that state know
that no such dodge will mislead the pub
lie from the facts set up in that report,
hence their haste to break the force of
the showing made by having the COM
missioner arrested and arraigned upon a
charge of felony in connection with the
preparation OF the said report. 1t is too

Ashamed of His Country.


T. o. Shinn, lawyer and prominent
leader of the Peoples party in Butler
county, publicly said on the streets of
Ell Dorado last Saturday: Il am ashamed
of my country, and would rather fight
against the government than for II. !"
This man has been accused of the high
est crime known to the law, and the
government he would rather destroy
than preserve held his life sacred, pro-
tected him from mob law, and said that
he was deemed innocent until proven
guilty to the satisfaction of twelve jur-
ors; the trial resulted in a hung jury,
but the government of which he Is
asian and which he would rather
fight against than assist in maintaining,
still protects his life and property.
