when the graves OF Mother Galway.

and Mother Gauthreaux, her success

Both Mother Galway and Mother
Gauthreaux had been buried in metal
lie caskets. An increased number OF
assistants was obtained by the un'
dertaker in charge on this account.
but when the men sought to raise the
collins the task was one which taxed
their strength to the utmost. Neither
casket had survived the test OF time

Gauthreaux was buried was badly

Carqo of a Liner.

From the Springfield Republican
 Much of interest and romance at taches to the cargo of a great ocean liner. The Cunard steamship Iver- mia, sailing from Boston to Liver pool not long since is said to have carried merchandise valued at fully S1 ,500,0 ,000 this being the largest cargo shipped from that port for over two years. A story Is attached to con signment of 300 bales of Australian wool. which came originally from Aus tralia, was then shipped from London to Boston, but on account of the urgent demand for Australian wool in Eng land was being returned there. An ot-er large item in the cargo was 800 tons of leather. There were 1S0 GOO bushels of wheat, 1900 barrels of ap- pies, 800 tons of provisions, 300 tons of flour, 4000 bales of cotton, 200 tons of steel pipe for transshipment to h. dia, 150 tons of lumber, 400 tons of refrigerator cargo and about 1000 tons of miscellaneous freight The volume of all this can be somewhat appreci- ated by the fact the cars required to haul this cargo, if placed in a line, would extend oyer a distance of twenty miles.

 The financial and commercial literature
 of the day Is full of explanations of the
 bad showing of failures for the first nine
 months of the calendar year. The record shows an aggregate of ,0OO against Ss5,OOo000 for the corresponding period of 1906 It is attempted to be shown that this very large increase is not such a bad thing after all, and that the people will do well not to become in the slightest alarmed by the exhibit. It Is needless to say that for the most part these ex- plantations do not explain.
 The one bright feature in the business situation Is found in the fact that while crops may not be up to the average, farmers are likely to realize larger aggregate sum this year than any in past history. with possibly two exceptions. Statisticians find pleasure in figuring totals so large that as to be almost be- yond mortal understanding. The round figures $6,000000,O00 is the favorite one to be banded about.

Prices are starting off high and give promise of holding up very we'll unless times should get so hard before the next harvest that people will have to economize to a point that would cut into. consumption. The west Is still sending in voluminous reports of great and universal richness, not only in crops but In all kinds of wealth, and the south is only a little way behind in its campaign of boasting. This sort of talk does not make the east feel bad, because if the stories are half true the sections mentioned will not have to draw as heavily as usual on their bank l balances in New York and other Atlantic | cities.
