fortunate.

Chicago, Jan. A.. - Sunday was day
of funerals in Chicago and for the first
time in the history of Chicago all the
people who desired to bury their dead
were unable to do so. The unprece-
dented demand for hearses and carriages
would have been enough in itself to tax
the resources of the undertakers, but the
heavy snow fall of the past two days has
increased their difficulties enormously.
All of the cemeteries in Chicago are
miles from the business center and resi-
denee districts, and with good weather
and the streets in passable condition, it
IS a matter of several hours to reach
one OF them. Today When every hearse
was IN Urgent demand, it required about
twice sas long to reach a cemetery as I'M
der normal conditions. Arrangements
were made by the undertakers to have as
many funerals as possible held in the
early part of the day, in order to allow.
II possible, the use of the liearse for a
second funeral In the afternoon. In a
number 1 of cases this was done, but there
were instances, where the families who
