On Columbus avenue white cat
keeps the mice out of the Vtore Of its
owner. There is nothing remarkable in
white cat per Sc, but the owner Of this
particular animal declares that il is a
feline curiosity--a freak, in fact.
Look at that cats eyes, - he said
yesterday, Ever see anything like
them? Why, don'tyou see anything re-
markable? Don't know much about
white cats, then Now, that cat, you
see. has two blue eyes-I never saw or
heard of the like before. Cats usually
have gray eyes. but white cats as rule,
have only one gray eye-the other is
blue. Every white cat that ever saw
but this one had one blue eye and one
gray eye. Both the eyes of my cat are
blue, 1t is wonderful freak of nature,

FIGHTING FOR CORPSES.
Unseemly SQuabbIe Between UNDER
takers Over Bodies of Paupcrs.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 25.-Across the.
line, in Kansas City, Kan, at the county
poor farm, the pauper dead is playing an
important part in a merry war now going
on between the local undertakers. Recent
~ the Sawyer Undertaking Company was
awarded the sole contract of burying the
county's poor and, as result, the other
competitors have declared that rather than
allow this they will do the work for moth
ing They have already assumed war
like attitude toward the favored company,
and body -snatchng, they declare, will,
til peace is declared be the order of tLs
day Before the present differences the
competing undertakers made each pauper's
death the cause for a fight, racing for, and
ofttimes snatchng, the bodies from one an
other in their eagerness to get the tefl-doI-
lar fee. A tug of war, with a cadaver
the object of contention, was no uncomrnon
sight at the poor farm, and not until one
aVaricious undertaken was luckleSS enough
to get away with only a head, arm or leg,
his opponent securing the larger portion OF
the body did the disgraceful proceedings
cease But Ii only ceased until some other
pocr victim died, when the contest was re-
peated with all the eagerness of the previ-
Gus one.
TO put a stop to such work Coroner Ste
yens opened bids for taking care of bodies
the lowest bidder to receive the contract.
When the Sawyer company was given the
contract the other firms set up claim OF
fraud asserting that that company's bid
was not the lowest and that 1t received
preferment over them.

CORPORATION. and Their Rights.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
If the pretended judicial decision of Judge
Gaynor is law there is an end of justice
and equal rights in this country. 1t has
been frequently repeated of late, as though
it was a bright truth just breaking in
upon the community, that the public has
some rights This has a specious and
popular sound, but no definite meaning.
The public has no further or better rights
than it can secure by the discharge of its
own obligations If it fails TO maintain
order and put down mobs, it has no right
to complain of it's lost privileges On what
ground can it be held that a corporation
loses it's natural and acknowledged rights
simply because it has a franchise and has
duties to the public? The law has always
recognized the right OF every individual
firm and corporation to make It's own cor
tracts and agreements and to have them
enforced As long they leTt to do
undertaking to do it for them the only
possible way in which they can do II is
under government protection. 1t is too
late to assert any such doctrine Judge
Cts decision There was no such under
standing when corporations were formed
and franchises accepted and no one but
idiot would ever voluntarily undertake
to do business under such compulsion. 1t
is intolerable and morstrous The idea
at any hour whatever wages a body OF
men or mob may demand, upon pain of
IHueiIllte damages, out Is DOund TO give the
preference to the highest bidders for en-
ployment. simply because the government
cannot or will not perform its obligations.
If this is law, the.l Debsism and mobs are
supreme, business is destroyed and capital
driven out of the country.
The re is unquestionably a prevailing spirit
Of injustice against corporations and in
d1nerence to their rights. AS a rule they
are as fair in their dealings, as zeal
Gus in the performance of their obligations,
and no more grinding than individuals
If it is said they are soulless INSCRIPTIONS
and given to ways that are dark corrupt
and crooked methods in connection with
legislation, this is lagely due to the fact
that they are cut off from public SYM
pathy and appeals to fair play, and are
forced often to suffer gross Injustice, or
protect themselves against prosecuting
legislation by secret and corrupt means.
The worst of them anywhere are no worse
than the body polite itsef-the State, the
city, or the government. What show have
foreign corporations "bondholders'' and
"octopuses'' generally for securing their
rights by such appeals to absolute right
or justice as excite sympathy and secure
fair dealing between man and man?

DRAMATIC FUNERAL SCENE.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-There was dra-
matte scene at the funeral, Wednesday, Of

Gustav Erdelyi died last Saturday, and
his wife determined that he should have a
funeral such he would have had at home.
She ordered hearse with four horses, had
the entire front of their house draped with
black cloth up to the thrd-story windows,
and desired the services of at least three
priests. The Rev. Bella Soma, of the Cen
onne, N. j., a personal friend of her hus-
band. was asked to be one of the officiating
clergymen. He knew that Editor Erdelyi
had not been much of churchman, and, it
is said, communicated with Archbishop Cor
rigan, who instructed him not to perform
the ceremony. and he declined to lend his
assistance. Then the Rev. Volkay Odon,
of the Greek Catholic Church, in Brooklyn,
was asked to officiate. Mr.. Volkay Odon
said he would perform the ceremony with
Father Reinhardt, and went away, pronis-
ing to return at o'clock That hour came
and went, but the priest did not return,
and a friend was sent around to Father
Reinhardt'S house the next street He
told that Father Reinhardt had been
called upon by Greek priest, and after
ward went out.
As a last resort word was sent to the
Rev. John b. Devine, Fourth street who
Is "a Presbyterian clergyman He responded
promptly, and read the Protestant funeral
services. The assembled friends began to
file out. Suddenly they were startled by
the voice of Mrs. Erdelyi raised in angry
tones, denouncing the Roman Catholic
and her deep black eyes glowed with pas
sion she ordered the undertaken to open
the coffin. He complied. and as soon as
the lid was raised she Snatched the Bible
and holy pictures that were lying on her
husbands breast and, hurting them to the
floor. stamped upon them she cried out:

more of striking priests, who refuse to do
their duty. / will become a Protestant to-
morrow. and Join this minister's church,
