NEW CASTLE. July 2s.-Richard
Murphy. who is employed at the works
OF the Wilmington Maneable Iron
Company. contemplates going into a
new business. It Is nothing less than
establishing a professional mourners'
bureau. The idea is to furnish mourn
ers for the funerals Of the rich so that
in many instances impefsonations can
be made. There are times" said
Murphy last evening when it Is very
anconvenient for friends to come from
a distance to a funeral II is also a
hardship on business men to have TO
cry and sob at a funeral. They are
busy and interested IN money making
1t is just such people I propose reach-
ing. II Wlli take some training OF the
people for they must dress and con-
duct themselves as gentlemen and the
women must do an the sobbing OF the
real mourners The men and women
can inpersonate Mr. and Mrs. G, Of
Denver: Colonel and Mrs. ID, Of Indian
apois OF Mr. and Mrs. II. OF Mil
waukee The cost OF such mourners
would not be as much as the entertain
ing of the visitors and then wealthy
people are so wrapped up in the things
Of this world that they have no time
for mourning. The same people can
be trained for weddings. II Is SO nice
10 see every thins go of well at a big
wedding. The ushers can be from
half a dozen OF cities. the best man
