DECORATIVE HOLLY.
The Beautiful, Time-nonored Evergreen Of
Christmas
BY LUE VERNON.

bI LlE NEhNoN.
Much OF the Christmas sentiment is
due to the holly, which, with it's brig hi
berries and glossy leaves, is one of the
most decorative green's used at the
Christmas season, and is adapted
especially we'll to wreath from, the
color lasting longer and the general
shape being more satisfactory than
when made of the evergreen.
Strange as it may seem, hundreds Of
holly wreaths are sent out to the
cemeteries, their green and red bright.

sentimental standpoint. One is so apt
to associate holly with cracking wood
fires, rollicking jollity, good eating
and drinking, and other material en-
joyment, that in memorium it seems
a trifle out of place, yet in the poem
of that name which Tennyson has
made immortal, We read: "With
trembling fingers did We weave the
holly round the Christmas hearth" !"

pany.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 4.-After four
months of controversy between the
employees of the Wabash and the Of
ficials of that system, during which
at one time a strike was imminent and
was only prevented by an injunction
restraining the employees from vacat-
ing their positions and which injunc-
ton was dissolved last Wednesday, the
differences were finally adjusted and
the controversy effectually and salts
factorily settled this evening. Officials
of the brotherhoods representing the
employees declare the settlement is en-
inently satisfactory and is a sweeping
victory for organized labor. The Wa
bash officials declare that all differ
ences with the employees have been
finally terminated in a satisfactory
manner and that their future relations
in all probability will be most harmo-
NOUS.
The following are the main points
embraced in the settlement:
Twelve percent increase for conduc-
tors, brakemen and baggagemen in the
passenger service, and Is per cent for
conductors and brakemen in the freight
service, over the rates which existed
Jan. 1, 1902, west of the Mississippi
river.
For the f1remen increases were
granted on the Canadian lines in ac-
cordance with the Canada Southern
division Of the Michigan Central. On
the lines in the United States material
increases and improvements in the
working conditions were granted the
firemen.
East of the Mississippi river the
rates will be brought up to this same
standard when competing lines in the
same territory grant similar increases.
The various yardmen receive sub
stantial increase, varying in different
localities.
There is an entire revision of the
rules applying to all classes of train
service. This was the main bone of
contention and was granted in its en-
tirety.

do. and that it would be made clear to
him in time.
Strange and almost uncanny as were
DR.. Funk's statements concerning the
famous clergyman, still more weird were
his minute details of a long conversa-
ton with an unknown ghost. This took
place in Brooklyn at the time when a
voice from the grave accused him of
causing unrest to the subliminal. body Of
Mr.. Beecher and the unknown visitor
revealed many secrets of life On the
other side" as DR.. Funk put it.
The ghost. according to Dr. Funk, de-
clared that all inventions now in use in
the world were first of all discovered by
the second part of men. No discovery
that helps to uplift the race but has first
of all been tested in the spirit land.
With discoveries perfected, the ghost
said, he and his fellows go about the
world looking for a mind in the receptive
mood for the secret to be impinged there
on. The progress of the ghosts in the
higher life was revealed also, and to DR..
Funks ears came the cheering word that,
be the time long or short, every subliminal
body in the end begins to grow better.

HALF MILLION DOLLAR
FIRE IN CHICAGO
One Large Building Wrecked and Another
Badly Damaged.

CHICAGO. April 4.-Fire this evening
in the seven-story brick building at rs and
II West Monroe street wrecked the struc-
ture and badly damaged another seven
story building adjoining it. Floors one,
two and three of the building rs and II
Monroe street were occupied by the j.
c. Vurtis company, makers of caskets
and undertakers' supplies. The fourth
and fifth floors were occupied by the Mar
quardt Maple Box company, and the sixth
and seventh floors by the Chicago Case
company manufacturers of jewelry and
eyeglasses.
From the upper part of this building
the fire spread to the one at Il and -
Monroe street, all seven floors Of which
were occupied by the Leonard Seed com
pany. The stock of this concern was
destroyed by fire and water.
The origin of the fire is mystery. The
damage is estimated at $4,000
