ODD FUNERAL COSTUME.
A Young Woman Appears In q Red
Waist and Plaid Skirt at Her
GrnndmOthcr'x obscquics.

The appearance Of beautiful Young
woman attired in handsome lcghorn
hat, bright red waist and brilliant
Scotch plaid AT the funeral Of her grand
mother on the South side the other day
caused commotion among those staid
and particular people who believe that
black only should be worn on such oc
casions. The young woman. however,
was composed Of such stern material
that she was able TO Withstand the quiet
looks of disapprobation which greeted
her without being discountcnanced By
them.
The inappropriate costume was due
largely TO accident. The Young lady
was Visiting, her u2cls and bad httired
herself for an excursion on the boat 20

the house "A messenger boy arrived and
informed her uncle that the hour Of The

her trip on the lake and accompany him
10 the funeral. She could not change
her dress because OF the shortncss Of
the time intervening before the funeral,
aud, besides, she felt there was no occa-
sion 10 do SO, because she had never seen
her grandmother but once or twice and
experienced no sorrow over her sudden
demise.
After a moments delay uncle and
niece were on their way 10 the funeral.
When they arrived AT the church the
young lady was somewhat disconnected
by the action of the usher. who co. duet
ed them 10 the front. There was no
room among the mourners, so the
couple was given q place ON the front
seat in the 'amcn corner"
There was n stir among the conprega-
tion and whispered protest swept over
H.. The face of the young lady was a
study. She sat facing the people who
had come TO pay tribute 10 the departed
woman. She could not avoid seeing
their disapproval. She did not care 50
much for herself, but was confused by
the fact that the nniOriiy knew she
was relative because hcr uncle WIS

gruous costume might hc embarrassing

STOCK AND WOOL INTERESTS OF THE GREAT JUDITH COUNTRY
EVANGELIST MOODY DEAD.
The Great laborer in Christ's Vineyard
Passes Peacefully to His Reward.


East Mortified, Mass, Dec. o.
Dwight l.. Moody, evangelist, who's G
fame was world wide, died at his
home here today at noon. His family
were gathered at his bed side. and
the dying mans last moments were
spent in comforting them. Early in
the day, Moody realized that tlc end
was not far of and talked with his
family at intervals, being conscious
to the last, except for few iainting
spells. As the MONDAY hour drew
near the watchers at the bed side
noticed the approach OF death. Sew
eral times his lips moved MS II in
prayer, but articulation WINS 80 faint
the words could not be heard. Just
as death came Mr.. Moody awoke as
II from slumber and said with much
joyousness: II see earth receding;
heaven is opening; Gods calling me, -
and moment later he expired. The
death VI Mr.. Moody was not unex-
pected, although his temporary re-
covery from illness was hoped for by
his relatives and friends. The cause
OF death was general breaking down
OF his health, due to overwork. His
constitution was that of an ex-
ceedingly strong man, but his untlr-
ing labors had gradually undermined
his health until that most delicate of
organs, the heart, showed signs OF
weakness. His exertions in the west
last month brought on the crisis and
collapse came during series of meet
ings at Kansas City.
