Expensive funerals discouraged.
The practice of providing expen.

The practice of providing expen.
sive funerals, irrespective of the
dead person wealth or iormer pos
ition in life, was condemned by
Judge Penrose in all opinion which
he filed in the estate of Margaret
Campbell, deceased in the Phila-
delphia court.
Miss Campbell was a domestic
servant, and died intestate, leaving
All estate valued S2S42.So. At the
audit of the account of the admins
traitor, before President Judge
Hanna, last October. counsel for
the undertaken who buried Miss
Campbell, presented a claim for
S255.75, balance due on a bill of
S43S.75. The claim was rejected by
Judge Hanna OIL the ground that it
was excessive.
Counsel subsequently filed excep-
tions to the adjudication, claiming
that the balance due on the under
takers bill should have been al
lowed. Miss Campbell, he said,
was all unusually heavy woman,
weighing about 25o pounds, and a
special coffin had to be made for
her. Her burial, too, was attended
with many inconvenience on ac-
count of her weight. He also argued
~ DE lao II, !,
people to bury their dead with os-
tentation by having wakes and
large funerals, and that the under
taker was carrying out the wishes
of Miss Campbell's friends in hav-
ing an imposing cortege.
1T is urged by counsel" Judge
Penrose says, THAT it is the custom
with the race and class to which
the decedent belonged to show their
respect for the memory Of the dead
by lavishness i'll expenditures Of
this sort, and that the custom
should be respected by the courts,
when exceptions are made by the
parties i'll interest.
"Our duty is precisely the reverse
of what we are thus asked to decide.
A custom which is contrary to the
public good, or injurious or pre-
judicial TO the many, and beneficial
only to some particular person, is
repugnant to the law of reason, and
falls under the maxim AN evil Gus

ceptions are, therefore, dismissed" "

The Genuine Article Here.

A city exchange says: /" The
buckwheat pancake, like good many
other things, has long been suspected
of not being the kind of pancake it
was few generations ago. The edi.
tor Of the Lancaster "New Era" who
well remembers what the buckwheat
cake was in its better days, makes bit
ter complaint about its changed condi.
ton. He charges 1t to the fact that
Simon-pure buckwheat flour is no
longer sold. 1t is adulterated with
something which impalrs its usefulness
as buckwheat and does not give it
value for any other purpose. 1t is
demanded that some phlanthropist
shall come forward and furnish the
public with the real thing. 1t will not
be hard 10 do. There is no scarcity
of buckwheat. There are 5000, 900
or 100000 of bushels of 1t raised
every year in the country! New York
and Pennsylvania raise it in the
plenty. Over in New York State
they have great quantities of it. 1t
goes into the mill all right and gener-
ally comes out all wrong and not the
article we want. Wheat -four, shorts
and bran are all said to be made to
do duty as buckwheat flour.

teration that is contrary to the law

Wages Reduced at SteeltOn.

There was posted in the shops of
the Pennsylvania Steel Company
at Steelton a notice that on January
I there would be a reduction of 10
per cent. in the wages of all en-
ployees of the works. about 6Ioo in
number. The works are running
on full time, and the men have been
making wages OF a very substantial
character. Now the working men
are annoying the spell binders of
Dauphin county, who during the
late campaign had SO much to say
about Mckinley prosperity and the
full dinner pail, by asking what
this reduction means so soon after
the election. They ought to know
by this time. The same old bait is
thrown to them every four years
and they swallow it regularly.
Promises Of prosperity before cleo
tion, and reduction of wages after
wards has become chronic.

The Growth of Independence.

Neither the election of this year
nor that of 1896 was won by the
Republican party. Neither could
have been won without the aid OF
that great and growing class OF
voters who, while they may have
either Democratic or Republican
leanings in affiliations or tendencies,
give thick and thin allegiance to no
party, but decide at every election,
according to the facts then before
them, which party they will vote
with.
No party can succeed now in de-
hance of these voters, and the party
which goes into the next campaign
making the strongest appeal to
their support will go into it with
the best chance Of victory, ,--LoniS-

cases were before Judge Lynch, and
as usual, in -tenths of them the
prosecution failed to appear. In all
Of these the Judge discharged bail,
permitted the defendant to go at
large, but continued the case. In
this way it is left open, and while
it so remains the justice does not
get his fees. 1t remains to be seen
how the Justices will take this If
they have no remedy, and are un-
able i'll any way to get their fees
under such action of the Court, it
may be accepted as certain that the
number Of petty cases sent up by
them will be very much reduced.
And Judge Lynch has shown other
Judges how to do it zo7oanda
