Curious ola Custom.

In one or the suburbs OF Paris a
wealthy merchant died the other dny.
and on the evening Of the funeral his
neighbors witnessed curious cere-
mouy.
An hour before the body was TO he
taken to the cemetery the relatives of
the dead man. five or six in number,
went out into the garden adjoining the
house and walked solemnly and silent
ly around it, Each carried lantern
end kept his eyes fixed OH the ground,
ss though he were looking for some
thing Finally they all halted In front
Of large pile of stones and, laying
aside their lanterns. proceeded TO throw
down the pile. After every stone had
been removed they examined minutely
the spot on which the pile had rested
and then slowly and with bowed heads
returned 10 the house.
This is an old Norman custom, and II
Is observed in this instance because tbs
dead man was native OF Olson. There
is Il tradition in Normandy that before

every family in Normandy faithfully
observed this tradition, but now only

consumed many sweets as also many

He gave her numerous presents and
spent large proportion of his salary
for her pleasure
Finally they were married and trou-

as much on his wife as he had on his
fiancee Then She treated him cruelty
and in an unwifely manner, and he
brought suit for divorce from her.

RETREAT CLOSES WITH

The retreat of the sisters of the

with most impressive ceremony,
the solemn profession of a novice,
who thereby becomes "A full member
of the community. The privileged
young lady is Miss Alta Price, of
Cincinnati, a granddaughter of the
renowned Judge Price, of that city.
The services began at 5:45 a. IN.
and were held in the chapel. In the
sanctuary was Very Rev. Thomas
Mackin, of this city, and Rev. Henry
Spalding, ). j., of the st. Louis uni
versity. The early hour prevented
the attendance of other invited cler-
gymen. The singing of the choir of
religions, assisted by Mrs. William

PRICE OF COAL ADVANCED:
DEALERS GET TOGETHER

Yesterday an elevation in the price
of hard coal took place from $7.s5 n
ton to Ss.25. for cash, or $3.50 on 80
days time. 1t is considered not inn
probable that further rises will take
place in the near future.
There may be rise also in the
price of soft coal to meet the in
creased expense of the coal dealers
caused by the new ear. service rule
enforcing the collection of charges
of 81 Il day for all time over As
hours that ears are held in unload
ing. The situation seems to be in
control of the larger dealers who
can unload cars in the required time
at all seasons of the year.
If they choose to do SO they can
afford to sell coal at the old prices
and smaller dealers will be compelled
to put up with the additional expense
or go out of business. 1t is consid.
cred probable, however, that the
dealers will make an agreement for
IL raise in prices all around. and then
the consumer, as usual, will be com
PEELED to pay the demurrage.
