Fifteen YEARS
He Kept HIS Coffin Ready To
Be Used
And Then They Forgot to Bury Him
in it.

Since the death of Senator Bush
70 Washington Price, at Mounds
Vile, which occurred a short time
ago some singular facts have been
revealed which at the time of their
origin little thought was given to-.
About fifteen years ago he called
on undertaken William Koontz, of
Wheeling, and gave him directions
to construct a coffin and how he
wanted It and explained to him how
he wanted his body buried.
Mr.. Kooniz gave the matter little
thought, made the cofhu and later
Mr.. Price called and settled In ad-
vance tor the funeral expenses, 1t
IS said.
The casket was laid away for
safe keeping and for fifteen years
the funeral arrangements were
complete. This fact has caused
many to speak of the sipgularity of
Mr., Prices latter days. He was
one Of the best known and highly
esteemed men In the country. At
the time of his death he was about

HORSE MEAT BANQUET.
Six Hundred People Take Part in One
at Berlin.

A dispatch from Berlin. Germany.
says; Six hundred people sat down
tonight to the most remarkable ban
quet that ever has been given in Ber-
lin. The dishes consisted entirely of
horse meat and were served in various
forms. The Society for the Proven
tion Of Cruelty to Animals issued the
invitations to the dinner. which was
given for the purpose of demonstrate
ing the nourishing and palatable quail
ties of horse meat, thereby causing
increased consumption Of the meat
and ready market for old horses.
This would prevent their owners from
working the poor animals to death as
well fed specimens would bring good
prices.
The bill of fare tonight consisted Of
horse soup. picked horse tongue. filet
of horse and roast horse. All of the
dishes were nicely prepared and were
evidently greatly relished. The pre-
siding officer of the society, Privy
Councillor Won Seefeld. said 10000
horses had been eaten in Berlin last
year. and that he hoped for a large In
crease in this number. Many promi-
nent members of the Reichstag and
Of the City Council were present at
the banquet.

Ihe Probosels Monkey.

A monkey with nose that has made
some progress on the road to becom-
ing a trunk is a decided curiosity On
that account the new Ape House at
the Geological Gardens will probably
have plenty of visitors for some time
to come. in order to see the young
specimen OF the proboscis monkey
the first Of its kind brought alive to
England. In that, however. the nose
is far from having attained the size
which comes only with mature age.
These animals are found only in Bor-
neo. always frequenting the tree tops
OF river side forests. where they con-
gregate In small groups or family par
ties. The general coloration is red
dish-brown above and white beneath !;
but in young animals there is more
red on the forequarters and the face
is blackish. Hornaday, the we'll
known collector, said that II the pro

Increase in Cremation.

Cremation is one OF the Oldest forms
of disposal of the dead, yet 1t is q
form that lapsed from use for cen
turtles. It appears to be In process
OF restoration. True, It has made but
little head against the custom of bur
ial, yet there is an increase every
year in snch proportion that we may
look for wide adoption Of 1t within
the next quarter century. There are
In this country but twenty-six crema-
tories. yet this is against but two
eighteen years ago. and the number
of cremations is $500 or more a year.

Of comment that an impression may
have been created which is contrary
to this fact of growth. but the truth
that about $4,000 incineratlons have
