LATE MAYOR JONES' FUNERAL.
Largest Ever Held in Toledo-Remains

TOLEDO, Ohio July 15.-The funeral Of
Mayor Samuel M. Jones, this afternoon,
was the largest ever held in Toledo. While
the boo lay in state at Memorial Hall yes
terday and this morning it was viewed by
one hundred thousand people.
The city is draped in mourning and this
afternoon there was a general suspension Of
business, all public offices, stores, factories
and even saloons being closed. A death
mask of the mayor was made last night.
Among the distinguished persons who at
tended the services were Mayor Tom L.
Johnson and a party of Cleveland public
officials, and N o. Nelson, millionaire man
ufacturer and philanthropist of st. Louis
and California. who says the words and
works. of Mayor Jones have had more in
fuence than those of any other mar he
knows.
The services at the house were simple.
One of the eulogsts was Brand Whitlock

ST. SWITHIN'S DAY.
Forty Days of Rain if It Should Rain
This Evening.

Today is ST. Swithin's day, and, accord
ing to the accepted superstition. if it rains
today it will continue to rain for forty
days and nights.
St. Swithin lived in England in the ninth
century. He died July ., S62, and was
buried according to his own DESIRE in the
church yard of Winchester.
A century later he was cannonized, and
the monks, not considering this a fitting
place of sepulture for a saint, exhumed his
body, for the purpose of depositing it in
Winchester Cathedral. But this transfer.
which was to have taken place July 10.
was delayed in consequence of violent
rains, which continued without intermis-
sion for forty days.
Out of this circumstance grew the belief.
current for many years, that if 1t rained on
July Is it would continue to do so the same
length of time.
Experience shows that when rain sets
in about the summer solstice it is gener-
ally of considerable duration. Whether 1t
will rain here today, and whether the sub
seQuent conditions will prevail are still I'M
answerable questions.
Many persons not given to belief In such
things have even dared to say that ST.
Swithin's day does not have the same sig
nifcance in this country as in dear old
England

MILLS TO REDUCE WAGES.
Fall River Cotton Manufacturers De-
eide ON Reduction

BOSTON, July 15.-The decision of the
Fall River cotton manufacturers to reduce
wages 121h per cent on July Is is Of con-
siderable interest in mill offices here. The
cotton manufacturing industry is still in
poor shape. and the margin Of profit Is ex-
ceedingly small on most lines of goods.
With Fall River on a lower basis for
weaving, there is said to be no doubt that
some of the other New England mills will
be obliged to reduce wages All print cloth
mills usually follow the Fall River basis
and competition is such that the price paid
for weaving is no small-sized factor in the
market.
1t is not known whether the fine goods
mill owners will be forced to revise their
schedules, but, II Us understood that those
in New Bedford and at some of the
southern New EnSkand towns will consider
the wage question, at an early date.
