USE OF FLOWERS At fuNtaALe

Carried Without Display, and Me- Az
Taken to the Csmstsry.
1.-The open barouche. filled with
flowers, sometimes seen preceding the
hearse at the head of q funeral pro-
cession.' said an undertaken, CON
tains flower pieces too big to be put
in the hearse, some of which. at least,
are too big t stand up in q closed car
riage. So where there are many large
pieces they are sometimes all arranged
in an open carriage, making a display
that never fails to attract attention.
From this conspicuous display Of
flowers, which is one most likely to
be seer at the funeral of a person of
foreign birth or descent, the practice
changes down to no display ut all, ~
in the case of the far more numerous
funerals at which there are NO fow-
ers carried. or only such as q be laid
hearse.
I'm some cases, where there are
many large flower pieces. they are
carried in a carriage with the top half
open to give room for things that
would not stand under the top closed.
But the more common practice when
the flowers are SO many Is to require
q separate vehicle for their Transports
ton Is to carry them In q closed car
riage. with no display at all. In many
cases the flowers can all be placed In
the hearse; but nowadays often, when
there are many flowers. there are car
ried to the cemetery only. such beau
tiful or appropriate pieces as can &C.
tually be laid upon the comm itself.
ut used to be that all thu flowers re-
ceived at q funeral were sent to the
cemetery and placed upon the grave.
to waste and wither, and they wers
subject also to pilfering hands. Now
flowers that are in such form n to b
suitable for the purpose are, It may bs.
given away after the funeral services
to some institution; perhaps some in
stitution for children, where, instead Of
simply willing and fading u they
would otherwise have done, they con-
tribute to the happiness of the liv-
ing.
while there are many flowers still
sent as funeral offerings. there are not
70 many as formerly. The phrase.
Kindly omit flowers Is literally in
terpreted. and the sending Of flowers
more and more confined to relatives
and immediate friends. While the
burial casket of to-day is made richer
and more costly than ever. the modern
tendency as to funerals Is all the time
toward greater simplicity in the pub
lie display."-New York Sun.

THE JAIL ARGUMENT.
Governments Counsel Was suspfci-
Gus of the Move.

Montreal, May 19.-When Messrs.
Gaynor and Greene were brought be-
fore Judge Lafontaine to-day, Lawyer
Taschereau, representing Gaynor. COM
planned of the manner in which the
police were acting in refusing to adj
nit their lawyers or anyone else to the
rooms of the accused. He demanded
that the men be taken to jail.
Donald MacMaster, K. c., strongly
opposed such a change, and openly ac-
cused Mr.. Taschereau of making this
demand to hide a plot to take the pris-
oners from the Montreal authorities
and back to Quebec. He had been in
formed upon reliable authority, he
said, that two new writs of habeas
corpus had been asked for and were
issued in Quebec on Saturday These
were to be served upon the jailer of
the Montreal prison as soon as the
prisoners were within the Jail walls,
and this would enable their friends to
take them back to Quebec.
Judge Lafontaine returned the pris-
oners to the custody of the detectives
who arrested them, pending his deci-
sion of a motion by Mr.. MacMaster
that the judge remand the prisoners in
the custody of the detectives until the
Kings counsel could produce his wit
nesses. Mr.. Manchester requested also
that the issue of the writs of habeas
corpus should in no way interfere with
the remand.
Judge Lafontaine this afternoon
granted an indefinite remand In the
case of Gaynor and Greene and or
dered them incarcerated in the Mon
treal Jail in the meantime. 1t is now
expected that efforts will be renewed
to have them returned to Quebec on
new writs of habeas corpus.
The customs authorities at Quebec
to-day seized the tug Spray which had
conveyed Gaynor and Greene and the
detectives to Montreal on Thursday
last. for illegally carrying passengers.

the Instance OF Their own Counsel.
Montreal. May 19.-Col. Gaynor and
Sapt. Greene have won the first Skin
mish in the fight against extradition
to the United States, and tonight the
two men are in the old city of Quebec,
where they believe proceedings to force
them to return to the United States TO
answer the charge of defrauding the
United States government can be sue
cessfully fought.
Tonight at 10 o'clock special train
on the Canadian Pacific arrived from
Quebec with High Constable Gale and
assistants on board armed with a
writ of habeas corpus. They got into
a cab and drove to the Montreal iaiI.
to which institution Gaynor and
Greene had been committed by Judge
Lafontaine during the afternoon. The
stay of the high constable in the Jail
was of very short duration Evidently
GOV Vallee and his guests awaited
their coming. for in a short time Gale
appeared, accompanied by Gov. Vallee
and Gaynor and Greene. A quick drive
was made to the Place Viger station
and an hour after the arrival of the
special train it departed with the
much-sought fugitives from the Amer
lean courts on board
Half an hour later the regular train
FOR Quebec departed, having on board
donald acMaster and Chief Carpen-
ter. They went to answer the writ of
habeas corpus served upon Carpenter
incidentally Mr.. Manchester will use
all his efforts to see that Gov. Vallee
returns his prisoners to the Montreal
Jail. The question as to whether he
shall do so or not depends entirely up-
on the legality of the arrest The case
VIII come up in Quebec tomorrow.
Had Them sent to Jail
There was warm argument to-day
in the eXtradition court before Judge
Lafontaine when the Gaynor- Greene
case was called. 1t began when the
counsel for the accused complained
| e44Aae.a y SStStNdy lney were una bile
TO secure access to their clfents
who were being confined in a private
prison at the Windsor Hotel. They.
therefore, demanded that Greene and
Gaynor be committed to the Montreal
Jail in charge of Gov Vallee, so that
they could secure access to them.
Mr.. Manchester, for the United States
government, at first raised no objec-
tion but few minutes later he learn
ed that two writs of habeas corpus had
been sworn out and that one of these
was addressed to Gov. Vallee Once in
the Montreal jail, the writ would be
served upon the Governor. and he
would have no choice but to obey its
call, and take Gaynor and Greene down
to Quebec. Mr.. MacMaster entered a
vigorous protest against the proceed
ings. Judge Lafontaine took the mat
ter under Adjustment, and this after
noon decided that as the prisoners real
ly should be in Jail and desired to go
there, he had no alternative but to
commit them. The prisoners were then
taken and committed to the care of
Gov. Vallee under formal demand until
Friday next.

Convicted on Serious Charges by
CourtmnrtinI mt Pensacola and Dis
charged From Navy.
Washington. May 19-Capt. Bertram
s. Neumann of the Marine Corps has
been dismissed from the naval service
as result of his trial by court-martial
at Pensacola, Fla. The action in his
case was made public at the Navy De-
partment to-day. Capt. Neumann was
tried on four charges: Scandalous con-
duct. tending to the destruction of good
morals; disobeying the lawful order of
his superior officer; falsehood and con-
duct to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline.
The specifications alleged irregulari-
ties in the financial transactions of
Capt. Neumann in his capacity as post
treasurer of the barracks at Pensacola
and on his personal account, and dis
obedience of an order from his superior
officer for the immediate submission of
the company fund books The court
found him guilty of all the charges and
sentenced him to dismissal from the
service. but recommended clemency on
the part of the reviewing authority in
consideration of Capt. Neumann's eX-
cellent professional record and because
of his mental condition, which, the
court stated, "incapacitated him for
proper appreciation of his responsible
tiles and obligations. Secretary Moody
approved the sentence of the court and
ignored the recommendation for elem
ency, holding that no evidence had been
introduced to show that Capt. Neu-
mann was suffering from any mental
impairment or that he was not entirely
responsible for his acts.
Integrity" says Mr.. Moody, sis
needed at every point of responsibility
in the public service, and the want of
1t is, in my opinion, inexcusable. This
case, as it is presented to me, shows
corrupt betrayal of public trust
which for the interests and honor of
the service should be deemed an un-
pardonable sin"

tary's action IN the case

MITCHELL OPENS HEADaUAnrERs.
Does Not Desire to Have Any One
Suffer Because of Miners Quarrel
With Coal Companies.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 19.-President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers, arrived here tonight and
established strike headquarters at the
Hotel Hart. He was met at the sta
ton by several of the leaders who
held a brief conference with him. The
national president spent a quiet
though busy day in his quarters at
Hazleton. He had no visitors and
said tonight he had no news to give
out. He added, however that as far
as the miners side of the controversy
was concerned the situation had not
changed in the least.
In reply to a question as to whether
the mine workers would attempt to
prevent the shipment of soft coal
where hard coal is used he said:
Considering the proposition in
general way 1 will say that we do
not desire to make any city a victim
or have any person suffer because of
our quarrel with the coal companies"
He said it was a matter which would
have to be settled by the three execu-
tive boards of the anthracite fields who
will meet here on Wednesday.
