ODD BURIAL CUSTOMS.

The custom of burying without cof-
fins was formerly very prevalent on
the continent. A sheet was the only
covering used.
The feeling in favor of burying on
the south side of church is probably
a traditional one, dating back to the
time of sun worship.
The South American negroes have a
queer way of decorating the graves of
their dead friends. 1t is the custom
down there to make border around
the grave of the medicine bottles used
during the dead ones last illness.
A very curious old custom is associ-
ated with intermen1s in the cemetery
of Labruck, Connemara, Ireland. A
box of pipes-short clays-is brought
with the coffin, and d pipe with tobac-
co is served out to Zach mourner, The
pipes are smoked IN silence after the
earth has been filled in and a mound
of stones raised above the grass, the
ashes are solemnly knocked out on the
top and the pipes are .roken or left
behind.

AND JOHN GOT HIS PLACE.
His Better-Half Was to the Fore and
Brought Things Her
Way.

Three hundred motormen, gatemen, etc.,
were in the line In and near the offices of
the Interborougn Railway company trying
to get their old jobs back when a large
and are-jawed wife led her husband
past them all. No one dared resist her,
says the New York World, though many
OF the men had been waiting for hours.
My husband wants TO go back to
work., said the woman. He's platform
man at the tn station, she explained.

of Mr.. Hedley's assistants.

Mr.. Norris started as if he had touched

There have been inquiries for further
descriptions and identifications from at
least five insurance companies and
guarded statements that there was
some suspicion that there might have
been fraud in that way.
The charge of blackmail rests on the
pictures. These pictures are now in
the possession of the police, and the
statement of one Marie Brossman is to
the effect that Carlton at one time
threatened to transpose a negative OF
her head to the body Of another wom-
an. She has told the police that he
limited thai by that means he had been
able to accomplish much.
Inquiry from Chicago.
In addition to this there is the in
quiry of the Chicago police, asking for
more particulars about Carlton, de-
claring that a Carl Horton, who ran q
matrimonial bureau at No. 155 Wash
ington street, that city, several years
ago, resembled Cartoons published pic
lures. That man was arrested, but was
acquitted and left town.
1t will be seen easily that except fol
the three crimes on which he low
stands charged and the one which
awaits the outcome of the chemit's
analysis the testimony is not yet con
c4usive. The police have not yet gath
cred together all the strands of evil
dence, but in every allegation so fan
the cup of tea is found. ST. Louis has
sent word that Carlton is the young
McCandless, of Polk county, who en-

Mrs. Eta Kingrey, of Gordon, Ala,
is coming north to be satisfied that in
Carlton she will be able to identify
the Eduardo j. Martinez who married
her in 1898 in Alabama. took all her
savings and then deserted her. On
this Identification the police believe
they will be able to base a charge of
bigamy. for they claim to have outside
evidence to show that in one particular
case Carlton posed as De Martinez,
claiming to have been a Spaniard spy
and to have inside knowledge of the
blowing up of the Maine
Mile Peterson, of Jersey City, has
positively identified Carlton in jail as
the man who made her his common
law wife and deserted her. She does
not say Carlton ever robbed her, but
she has sworn that he endeavored TO
have her life insured.
The charges of swindling the insur-
ance companies, the police admit, are
wholly without anything substantial
on which to base suspicion at this time.

Brooklyn for the rest of its natural
life.
"Germs?" he said at one time. why.
they're easy! Anybody can get germs.
Just dig EN- up"
He didn't talk so volubly about
germs when Inspector Cross, a few
days since, put him through the
sprouts.
"Germs?" he repeated. you'll have
to ask a bacteriologist about them
things
Carlton has maintained a marvellous
bravado since his arrest. 1t is char
acteristic that is one of his strongest
points. Nothing seems to nettle him,
and he affects good humor at all
times that, with a man under such in
tense crosS-fire, is hard to understand.
Lack of nerve has never for moment
led him to false step since his ar
rest. Confronted at Raymond street
Jail by Mile Peterson, a Jersey City
woman whom he caught in his spidery
web under promise of marriage, only
to forsake her for another, he gazed
coldly at her.
For Gods sake, don't say you don't
know me- implored the heartbroken
woman, whose life had been the tor
ment of a thousand bells since he left
her.
II never saw you" declared Carlton,
his eyes dropping to escape her tears.
She tainted, and on being revived her
agonizing screams sent chills to the
hearts of the callous prison guards
Carlton gazed upon the creature be-
fore him unmoved.
Fred, l love you. don't want to
prosecute you."
Take her away. She's crazy COM
manded Carlton.
And the woman in convulsion OF
Mysteries, was taken to hospital.
This is the real nature of the man
whom the Brooklyn police term a
"Bluebeard.'
