INVITATIONS TO FUNERALS.

The funeral invitation is 6ecom-
ing quite popular in Pittsburg.
Sounds strange, but nevertheless it
is fact. The Invitations are print
ed on heavy paper, such as is. used
for wedding invitations, with Il
broad black border. There are
many printers in town catering to
the fashionables who print the fu-
neral invitations while you wait. An
invitation to attend the funeral Of a
woman who was prominently iden-
titled with church affairs the other
day read something after the fol-
lowing order: SeYou are respectfully
invited to attend the funeral of
Mrs. Blank, who died Monday morn
ing. Services will be held at her
home Wednesday at $50 o'clock.
Interment at Glendale cemetery
Thursday at 10 a. m. Please do
not send flowers. Yours respectful

Du Maurier Heroines.

When Mrs. Frances Hodgson
Burnett was first presented to Du
Maurier, who was, in point of fact,
rather an understood man, she ex-
claimed:
ooh, I am so glad that you are
not six feet tallp'
'EBut why?" asked Du Maurier.
Because for these many
months" replied Mrs. Burnett, who
is considerably below the medium
height, 'Syou have simply denied US
the right to live. You have made
us feel that a woman who is not six
feet tall has not the right to exist. -
''Oh, that is only a trick of
minel" laughed Du Maurier. 81
have started again and again to
make my heroine a little woman,
but before I know it she has some
how grown way beyond my own rec
ognition."

SPEAK WITHOUT FEAR OR
EAYOR.

Since Brownsville is to have q
hearing before the Senate Commit
tee that is investigating the Browns
vile outrage, it is to be hoped the
town may be set right before the
nation. As it is not likely that
the Ku-Klux will pass by the
homes of any of the Brownsville
witnesses, it is to be expected that
the plain truth regarding the out
rage may be made known. And it
is to be hoped that those witnesses
eWho go to Washington from this
outraged and insulted community
may stand up and tell the whole
truth, without fear or favor, and
likewise without malice, speaking
with all their might in behalf of
their home and people.
Efforts will be made doubtless to
disprove and invalidate their testi-
mony, but it. is sincerely to be
hoped that nothing may serve to
confuse their tongues.

DID NOT WARN THEN.

It may be constitutional, in a
technical sense, for a law to go into
effect the instant the governor af-
fixes his signature to the bill, but
it is certainly unjust to the citizen
who has had no opportunity what
ever to know its contents. A good
illustration of this injustice can be
found in the recent anti-gambling
law of Texas that went into effect
upon its passage, which makes GER
tain acts felony, and not one per-
son in ten thousand in the state
had ever had chance to read the
law, and it may be sometime yet
before the law is made public by
the state. Laredo Times.
Does the Times speak in behalf
of the gambling element If so, it
should be remembered that these
were already law-breakers. liable
to prosecution and heavy fines,
against which they seem to have
needed no warning.

swaIIowed Her Booty.

Paris has new brand of thief.
A man who had had supper by him
self in cafe at table next to a
pretty woman called for his bill
and put down a French sovereign.
''Do let me bite il" cried the lady;
it brings luck" The man had no
objection. A gold Louis bitten by
a fair lady would certainly not lose
In value. She bit, then gulped and
screamed: ga million pardons! I
have swallowed itp The man had, it
seems, come across the aurivorous
species of lady before and instead
of letting her and the sovereign go
he ungallantly called in the police.
They all went to the station, where
the inspector passed sentence of
ipecacuanha. The lady evidently
feeds on gold, for three sovereigns
were recovered. The rightful own
er of two of them is unknown.

So FAR, it appears, all of the
witnesses summoned in the case
against Captain Macklin are to ties
,.tify in his behalf while none are
reported as being summoned by the
prosecution. This will simplify
matters considerably. and there
should be no difficulty whatever
in whitewashing this culprit- The
trial began today, and the Express
predicts tnat it will consume pro-
baby week, but there appears no
reason for prolonging the process
and increasing the expense so
needlessiy. It is a mere matter of
form after all.

Heaviest Rails.

The rails on the Belt Line road
in Philadelphia are the heaviest in
the world. They weigh 142 pounds
to the yard and are seventeen
pounds heavier than any rails ever
before used. They are ballasted in
concrete, and nine inch Orders were
used to bind them. All the curves
and spurs were made of the same
heavy rails, and the tracks are su-
perior to any railroad section ever
undertaken. The rails were made
especially by the Pennsylvania Steel
company for the Pennsylvania rail
road. An officer Of the Pennsylva-
MIA road stated that this section Of
road would last twenty-five years
without repairs.
