A WOMAN UNDERTAKEN.
She Takes Much Pride in Her
Peculiar Line of Business.
How Mrs. Luella p. Rumney. of Saco,
Me-. Came to Take Up the Embalm-
Ing Trade-The Story Told
by Herself.

! The new woman has made her pres
ence felt in many lines of business but
until now very few, however "ad-
vanced," have attempted to become I'M
dertakers.
The very idea of woman embalmer
and undertaken is decidedly grisly to
the ordinary mind, but the presence of
death has no terrors for Mrs. Luella p.
Runney, of Saco, Me-, and she takes as
much pride in her peculiar line of bust
ness as a milliner and dressmaker in
their productions.
She takes the view of the mat
ter that inasmuch as the time is
not distant when kind women
neighbors prepared and dressed the
remains of women and children,
there is no reason why she should not
to-day use scientific methods of en-
balming and preparing the dead and Off
ciate at the funeral services.
How she came to take up and follow
such novel means of livelihood is told
by Mrs. Rumney herself in a letter to
the New York World. She says:
"In the winter of 1891, when resident
of the city of Chicago, 1 became inter-
ested in the study of embalming, and
early in the following year began pre-
paratory study of this art. In July en-
tered the private school of embalming
at the undertaking establishment Of B.
Perrigo, Of Chicago, which was the only
permanent school of embalming in the
state ait that time where embalmers
could thoroughly learn the work. I
have always been satisfied with my adj
vantages as student, as had every OPP
portunity to become practical in my
work.
"a large undertaking establishment
like this one is called upon to meet death
as result of almost every known dis
ease, and the embalmer seldom handles
two cases in the same manner, or, ia
other words, different diseases have diff. |
fsrent methods Of treatment and one

made hit with her wooden shce

CRITERION BARBER SHOP.
Finest Appointed Establishment on

Several times within the past few
months the Star has had the pleasure
of calling the attention of the public
to the Criterion Barber Shop as an ex-
ample of what push and energy can
do where properly applied. Messrs.
Pacheco d Fernandez, proprietors of
this shop, have done all that they
started out to accomplish, namely: to
have the best appointed barber shop
in Hawaii. The last two additions to
the shop, to make ii absolutely COM
plete, have been the placing of an ele-
CANT electric fan directly over the
three chairs so that a constant steady
breeze is felt by those who are under
going refreshing midsummer visit
to the silent BARRIERS. This fan has
also four incandescent light fixtures,
which gives daylight appearance to
the interior The other addition is
a magnificent three basin center wash
stand with center faucet and a hot
and cold water faucet for each bowl.
Under such conditions. the handsom-
est shop, all modern convenience. and
expert tonsorial artists, it is no won
der that this shop should have an
ever increasing patronage, which it
rightfully deserves.

NEW YORK.-In accordance with
the advertisement calling for bids for

the bids, twenty-five in number,

ranging from par to l09.5, the latter
for only $4,000 of the issue The re-
suit was very discouraging to the
comptroller, at whose suggestion, n
year ago. it was decided that future
issues of bonds should he made pay

at the same time increased from TO

bids had been received, it was decided
not to open the tenders until Septem-
