CRoKERs REUNITED.
Death of Frank Has Brought About
Family Harmony.

New York, Feb. 6.-The- death of
Frank Croker has brought about a re-
Cancellation between Richard Croker
and his wife. Long before Mr.. Croker
took up his residence abroad he and his
wife had practically separated, although
they continued to live in the same house
at 5 East Seventy-fourth street. There
never has been any particularly bitter
feeling between the couple, but their
interests lay along different lines.
Frank Croker was the favorite or MS
father and he was a devoted son to his
mother. There was much conjecture
when Mr.. Croker arrived as to where
ne would stay while in town. He set
tied all this by going to Mrs. Croker
home.
He has been there ever since. 1t was
his request that nobody bother MN
while he was in New York, and ms
friends have left him alone in his grief
He has been constantly with his wife
and family during his stay and only
few of his intimate friends ike Jon lia
Fox, the president of the Democratic
club, have seen him.

One of the rites performed by

When the bells ring for mid
night mass they scoop out the
middle of twelve onions, set
them in a row on the kitchen
table. fill them with salt and
name them for the months of
the year. Then, when they re-
turn from mas, they examine
condition of the salt. It it has
melted in any of the months"
those months will be rainy; if
the salt remains drv it Indicates
drouth; it half melted the first
