MIR. OLNEY'S TURKEYS.
His Christmas Presents to Employees
of the Department of Justice.


Attorney General Olney has established
a pleasant precedent in the Department of
Justice. He not only excused all the en-
ployes at noon on Saturday. but in addition
specially gladdened the hearts of the mes
sengers, firemen, elevator conductors and
charwomen by giving each of them an or
der for a turkey for his or her Christmas
dinner This recalls similar generosity on
the part of ex-Secretary Whitney. who made
it practice to give turkey to everybody
in the Navy Department, high and low in
station. on the four Thanksgiving days in
his term, and to entertain them at his coun-
try home at Grasslands on the Fourths OF
July falling within the same period. The
action of Attorney General oiney with his
comparatively few employees is never apt to
be followed by the heads of departments of
the huge size of the Interior, Post Office,
Treasury or War, with their legion OF en-
ployeS.

APApER BY GEORGE B. HAWLEY

At meeting of the funeral directors of the state at Meriden, held recently, George B. Hawley, of the firm of Haw- ley, Wilmot .& Reynolds, read paper on ''Common sense etiquette in making funeral arrangements Among the points he touched on were the following The undertaken should not lay down any arbitrary rule, but should fcon4orn him. self as far as possible to the particular desires and tastes of the family, only seeing that no established canons of good taste were violated. Under an- other head he referred to the grave breach of etiquette sometimes committed by families in setting or fixing the time of the funeral without consulting the clergyman who is to officiate. A bit of advice which speaks for itself is that in which the impropriety of long burial services are made apparent and the statement made that the time will soon come when in the churches of all evan gelical denominations the service will
 be confined to simple ritualism. Further the principles of family and neighbor-
 hood etiquette are tastefully and grace fully laid down; the matter of invita- ltions given passing attention and the
 matter of floral offerings discussed al length. Particularly, said Mir Hawley il this connection, 1.-The undertaken at th'

The first method of procedure, viz, removing the cards, is especially desirable in neigh borhoods where idle or morbid curiosity prompts many persons to intrude upon the sanctity of sorrow and make invid- ious comparisons as to the extent of the individual sympathy as evinced by their respective offerings ''Also" con- cluded MT Hawley, "the sensibilities of many persons are deeply offended by the long list of donors frequently published by the newspapers" Most people of re- finement will agree that the author of the paper has had the courage to say something that has long needed saying and suggests the remedy for a most oppressive annoyance. Throughout the paper was interesting and confirms the honor frequently accorded to MT Haw- ley of being an authority upon the sub- jects of which he treated.

KILLED BY THE CARS.

A German by the name of Charles P. knouplouck was struck by the Sunday morning passenger north on the Berk- shire division, near Northrop's crossing, below Brooktield Junction. It appears that knauplauch was walking on the track, and thus met his death. He had lived in New Milford for four or five years and thus had gained a residence there. The cruel train did it's work thoroughly. The unfortunate mans head was crushed to jelly, both legs taken off, both arms broken, and the body badly bruised. By directions of the town officials of Brookfield, the body was taken care of by Undertaken Beeh- Ter. He was buried on Monday, Rev E. l.. Whitcome officiating.

A CAR DERAILED.

While backing on to siding at RoX- bury Falls, last Friday morning, loaded coal car on the Shepaug freight was de- raied. It was off the track in such a way that the south bound passenger, filled with Danbury fair excursionists, could not pass. It seemed like a bad job to the uninitiated, as the track was torn up to some extent. The two en- zines were finally hitched on to the car, and it was pulled back on to the rails. A hundred or more of the passengers gathered to inspect the job, among the number being Rev Mir Breckenridge and Selectman Kilborn of Washington, s. F. Burgess from West Morris and others. The job was quickly done and reflected high credit on Conductors Bristol and Garrison.
