cHApELs FOR UNDERTAKERs.
Need Of Roomy Quarters for the Con-
venience OF Friends Of Home-
less Decedents.

Successful undertakers in New York
nowadays have to be prepared to fur
nish church and clergyman along
with the other requirements Of fu-
neral.
Not very long ago it was an excep-
| tional thing for funeral services to be
held in an undertakers shop. Only
| the bodies of the friendless or OF
those whose friends were too poor
| to afford any better accommodations
were taken from the undertaker's d.
rect to the grave, says the New York
| Herald.
OF late, however, the phrase: "The
funeral will be held at the parlors
of So-and-So, undertakers," is fire.
quently seen attached to death mo-
tices, and even more often the place
where the funeral is to be held is
designated by its street number only.
Nine times out of ten the place so
designated is an undertaker's shop.
The way this has come about has
been chiefly through the increasing
reluctance of hotel and boarding
house keepers to have funerals from
their houses. Friends of those dying
in such places are generally given to
understand that an immediate re-
moval Of the body would be highly
appreciated; or, If the friends do not
appear within few hours, the pro-
prietor summons an undertaken and
has the body removed.
Unless the deceased person had
near relatives in the city it is gen.
orally matter of difficulty for the
friends to find a place from which
to hold the funeral, unless they wish
to go to the expense of church
service.
In this way it has naturally come
about that bodies have been left in
undertakers' rooms and at the time
set for the funeral the friends have
gathered there and listened to brief
service pronounced by some clergy
man-supplied by the undertaken,
too, perhaps-and thence have borne
the body direct to the grave.
With the increase of this custom
undertakers have been compelled to
increase the size of their rooms and
to fit them up better and differently
from ordinary shops of the sort. One
city undertaken has gone so far as
to clear out the whole front of his
store and leave a large room, nearly
IS feet deep, with panelled. church
like ceiling and walls, which can be
filed with chairs If necessary.
1t is not unusual for as many as
two or three hundred persons to
gather at funeral services held in
this shop. Some quite well-known
persons have been buried from there.

Record Of Railroad Gross Earnings Is
Enormous.
Great Gains in Traffic Despite Ad-
verse Conditions in Amer
lea
SOME OFFICIAL FIGURES

Another increase Of notable proper
tions on top of the marvellous increas-
es of previous years Is the record Of
railroad gross earnings for the caleD =
dar year which has recently closed.
II the improvement made in the years
preceding was such as to attract uni
versal attention and furnish evidence
OF the wonderful industrial prosperity
which the United States has been en-
joying for so long q time. the results
for 1909 must be regarded as still
more noteworthy in the same respect,
affording striking proof of the oontin-
usnce of this marvellous era of indus
trial advancement, says the Financial
Chronicle. For the fact, should not
be overlooked that the 1909 gains were
made in face of some adverse condi.
tions Of wide influence and import
anoe. In the first place, there was .
great shrinkage in the volume Of agri-
cultural products as a result Of the
previous seasons extraordinary crop
shortage, and IN the second place the
anthracite coal miners strike proved
one of the most disturbing events Of
its kind Of which trade annals furnish
any record. This labor conflict, as will
be recalled, lasted from the 9Th OF
May to the 2sd of October, and so di-
minished the supply Of fuel, both dur
ing its continuance end for long
time subsequently,. as 10 constitute a
serious impediment to industrial so
tivity-many industrial establish
ments using anthracite suffered from
shortened supply nearly the whole
time and some actually were forced to
close up for longer or shorter periods.
The aggregate for 1909 runs .consid'
erably in excess Of 81, 500, ooo, 900 (t1,-
54s, 725, sS2). atfording an idea Of the
size and extent Of the railroad indus
try. The increase of s93. 1000, 900 in
1909 follows the most extraordinary
series of large and continuous gains Of
which trade annals furnish any record.
For instance it succeeds t14S,0i7, S0l

fit the government had furnished him
made him laugh outright, and 1t all
came easier for him after that.
Among those who had enlisted from
the city was Tom Owens, II man of
about Sans aye and size; and being
assigned to Sans company. he was
placed next to him in the ranks, and
so the two quickly became friends.
This, too was fortunate for Sam. for
Tom was his opposite IN nearly every
respect; well yersed In the ways of
the world. his mental powers sharp
ened by contact with other men, and
ready to turn everything into a Joke,
he was Just the one to keep Sam from
thinking about himself.
Their regiment WAS one of those sent
to the Philippines to enable Dewey TO
hold what he had taken, and, during
the tiresome voyage across TO the ISL
ands, Sam was necessarily thrown
largely upon himself for mental occu-
patton, and 80 Major Billiards. part

the most miserable man aboard the
transport when their destination was
AT last reached, and even the healthful
exercise and excitement of fighting and
chasing insurrectos, which began i'm
medIately, failed to drive from his
mind the cloud Of morbid gloom that
had settled down over 1t. Hours and
hours he spent, silently torturlng his
brain with regret for having enlisted,
and then came unconsciously to think
Ing out loud,
"oh, If I'd only listened tub Majah
Bullard," he groaned, Il wouldn't ha'
