For Mourning Dresses.

For the best mourning costumes,
fine Silk-warp Henriettas are the
correct thing. They present a
lusterless surface in perfect black,
and are SO finely woven as to hang
in the most graceful folds.
Our best grades are 40 inches
wide, and 81 IS and 81 so per
yard. They come from Priestly,
who is known the world over for
the surprising excellence of his
black goods.

A correspondent complains in the
Toronto Globe Of the tardy develop
ment of electric power on the Cana
dian side of Niagara Falls. He con-
trasts the peaceful and pastoral aspect
of the Canadian frontier with the rap
idly growing industrial settlements on
the American line, and asserts that it
is time for Canadian officials to treat
the possibilities of the Niagara frontier
from something beside the park point
of view.

Almost Criminal Neglect.

Some one in China, Me, is almost
if not quite guilty of criminal neglect
in the case of disposition of the body
of DR.. Malcolm" said a prominent city
official, yesterday morning. To begin
with the cid gentleman died at Ills
p. NJ. Wednesday, and Undertaken
Redngton was at once notified. Mr..
Aver. the undertaker's assistant, Went
at once to the house and assisted by
Deputy Sheriff Getchell, the remains
were prepared for transportation To
the late home in China. Redington's
ambulance was to convey the body to
that town early in the morning of Fri
day. when it was found that, during
the forenoon of Thursday, no arrange
ments had been made for the author
tiles of China to come after the body
Then word reached this city that thu
hearse of China was on the way to this
city for the body. Mr.. Aver prepared
the body for the trip and then left the
house expecting that the China hearse
would arrive in n short time. Thurs
day evening, Deputy Sheriff Jones
came TO this city and told the Journal
that he believed that the hearse was
on its way to the city and that the
body would be conveyed to China that
night. Later in the evening it was
learned that the hearse had not started
but would be here at O'Clock Friday
morning.
All this time the body had only or
dinary care, and as the local under
taker had nothing to do With it more
than to keep it in condition for the un-
dertaker from China, and the latter
being expected al any moment, perhaps
the attention that would have other |
wise been given it was neglected. Nine
o'clock Friday morning care and no
hearse from China had turned up. Then |
II O'Clock and still no hearse. The
mayor was beginning to sbe aroused, |
the city marshal became talkative and |
then Others talked more or leSs Finally |
at 2 O'Clock. Deputy Sheriff Getchell in
structed Undertaken Redington to re-
move the body to the receiving tomb. |
The body was still there, and so the |
assistants placed it in the |
and removed it to the tomb. |
1t seems singular TO those who have
taken an interest in the case that all |
of those who have been SO pronounced |
in their opinion that the old gentleman
had been abused in life should not have
come forward and cared for his body
after death. The body, 1t is understood.
will have to be buried by the town of
China, as the old gentleman was not /
possessed of the means to pay the ex-
penses of funeral.
