MAKES cAskET FIT BOX.

Stroudsburg, Pa.-Several dozen
colored people from this town were
among the chief mourners At the
funeral of Mrs. David Smith, near
East Bangor. When the party arrived
at the grave they were horrifled when
the pallbearers found it impossible to
lower the coffin itself, which was too
long for the rough box.
The outcome of the unusual circum-
stance was as extraordinary as the
situation itself, for after consulta-
ton between the relatives and the
undertaken it was decided to saw a
piece from each end of the coffin and

SALEM Aa.aousE-22s YEARS. OH.
Well Preserved Specimen Of Colonial
Architecture Of Seventeenth Century,.

q Boston:--One Of the best pressry&d
: specimens of domestic colonial arch-
lecture of the seventeenth century is
the Narbonne house on Essex street,
Salem, Mass, which was built in 1850,
and Is sound to-day and good for an
other century at least. -
Belonging to period in which the
colonists had very little money to
lavish on their homes the house repre-
sents the conservative tastes of the
thrifty resident of Salem 100 years be-
fore the revolution.

To Perfume the Breath.

1t is considered bad form to perfume
the breath so that it can be noticed
easily, but nothing can be said against
perfuming it just enough to sweeten
it. Buy piece of orris root and chew
Just small piece of this. A Glove
placed in the mouth, but not chewed,
will give an odor of carnations to the
BREATH If the Glove is chewed, it
must be swallowed right away or the
odor will become too strong. It is
said a bit of myrrh held in the cheek
will give breath delicately sweet
odor.

The Coouettish Apron.

One strong reason why girls have
chafing dish parties is because of the
coquettish adornment French aprons
give. A mere handful of thing is
pear-shaped, whit a suggestion of a
bib. Around the edges insertions are
designed, and these are edged with
ruffles of the same lace.

Henderson, superintendent of the company, who left here yesterday Tor his camp after employing several min CTS, stated that the showing in the winze, where it taps the ledge, is even better than anticipated. The ledge was found within six inches of the point where it was expected to find it, according to Mir. Henderson's measure ment. When the drifts are in a short distance from the station, the winze will be continued down along the ledge. Power drills will be used in the work.

FIERCE BEARS
 CONTROL THE
 STOCK MARKET
Persistent Selling of Stocks All Day With No Buyers To Assist In Holding Up the Market.
(By Frank J. Graf.)


 The bears had control of the mar ket today and the persistent selling of stocks was carried on the entire day with no buyers in the market to as- sist in holding up stocks. Just the cause of this bear raid on the market is hard to tell, other than the pres ident's message. which had ten dency to effect all stocks. The New York market was also hammered all the way from three to five points. Copper stocks were effected as well as copper metal.
 Calumet & Arizona showed consid- erable weakness, closing at the low point for the day. Greene Cananea suffered more in proportion than any other stock on the list. Superior and Pittsburg closed at 12 1-4 North Butte and Butte Coalition closed weak.
 Denn Arizona was very well sup ported at 3 1-2 and Shattuck went begging at IT, with no bidders in the market. The entire market looks weak, but would not advise on selling, as it would only tend to weaken them.
