POTATOES ARE A LUXURY

A serious problem which confronts
the average housekeeper whose week
ly or monthly allowance has not kept
pace with the steady and marked adj
vance in prices OF the commonest ne
cessities of life. is the big increase In
the cost Of living. Prices during 1901
have been at the highest point reached
in many years, and, in fact. surpass all
records since present improved meth
ods OF manufacture and agricultural
operations were begun. Discussing
these conditions. a restaurant proprie-
tor said today:
In all my exerience in the business
have never. in times of peace. seen
the prices of the common necessities
so high as during the past year. Take
any article that enters into the daily
life OF the working man, and we find
that the price has advanced from TO
20 per cent. above what it was a year
or two ago.
Take potatoes, for instance. Dur
ing the past six months the price has
increased so rapidly that in November
reached a point higher than any since
the war of the rebellion. The price
paid this year for a quality OF the
vegetable not nearly so good as that of
1900 was 81 to $1.O5 a bushel, as COM
pared with last years price of so to 60
cents. This increase in the price great
ly pinches the poor. and when l say
the poor ! mean not the absolutely
destitute but those who have families
TO provide for out of a meager salary.
Consider the price of pork or beef,
the former especially. Family pork
that last year sold for $3.50 a barrel
cannot be bought now for less than
SlG.50 to SIS. Smoked hams that are
wholesaling at 10A to l1ts cents a
pond. could be purchased last year at
this time for from 9 to II cents retail.
Lard has advanced about 25 per cent.
above last years quotations, and Is
now selling wholesale for 10k to 11Ik
cents pound. Eggs have advanced
so rapidly that at present they are
worth 36 and 3S cents a dozen retail
as against last years price of 26 TO 30
cents. Fish, especially fresh fish. /.
scarce. The market has only a limited
supply and the prices asked are high
Salt and canned fish are in demand
and bring prices hearty so per cent
higher than last season.
During the holidays last year first
class turkeys. ducks and geese could
have been purchased for from s to 1.
/ cents a pound. This season they were
not obtainable under rs and 20 cents
This makes a great difference in the
workingman's Christmas dinner. In
fact so great that it is questionable n
60 per cent. of those of the working
class accustomed TO having turkey and
cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving and

year.

Was Father sullivan eurIed AIIve7 2


Elyria, o., Jan. 1.-The bodies Of
two former pastors of st. Mary's
Catholic Church, of this city, were ex-
humed and taken to the Catholic Gem
etery for permanent interment. The
bodies were those of Father Nolan
and Father Sullivan. Both caskets
were opened and the interior exposed
to view Father Sullivan was only
27 years of age when he died, q years
ago. When the skeleton was exposed
the head was observed to be twisted
to one side and the bony fingers Of
both hands were clutching wisps OF
hair This seems to indicate that
there must have been some sort Of
muscular contraction after death and
burial. II is thought by some that the
priest was buried alive.
