DEAD ONES COME VERY HIGH
How the Living Are Squeezed for
Burial Expenses in City
of Chicago.

The high cost of dying has the high cost
OF living beaten to a fragile" in Chicago.
An investigation conducted by a committee
or the City club showed a common under
standing between undertaken, cemetery Of
ficials, ambulance doctors and hospital at
tendants to guage their charges what the
dead traffic will bear. The report presents
these figures:
Among many families of foreigners with
small incomes the death of member
causes an extravaganza altogether out of
line with their resources. Debts are in
Cured which hang over the family for
years.
THE suit in the municipal court, Ludlow
against Wilcox, was striking case of ex-
cessive billing. Bill Of $5525O was cut to
$SO2,bO by jury.
Several undertakers state that an under
taker must figure on at least 100 per cent
profit and frequently 200 per cent profit
M. o. Roberts, secretary of the Chicago
Undertakers' association, attempts to
justify excessive charges by giving three
factors that must be taken into consldera-
ton In making up a bill:
The infrequency OF funerals and the
consequent period of idleness between cases
The large percentage of bad debts, coupled
with the fact that so many bills must go
through probate
The ever present danger of infection and
loss OF life in embalming.
We find that advantage frequently Ii
taken of knowledge by the undertaken Of
the existence of an insurance policy The
charges are made in accordance with the
size of the policy.
Bills now In our hands show that nc
item is so small but that 1t contributes 1t.

End to the Sport
New York Legislature About to Put a
Quietus to Betting on the

NEW YORK, May 2..-(special Tele-

track betting bills on Thursday by the
state senate and the announcement to-
day that the house would pass the same
bill unamended next Tuesday, leads 70
the general belief in sporting circles at
the present time that the sport of racing
in New York is really doomed. Turf men
now take the most pessimistic view OF
things. For a time 1t was believed the
bills might remain in committee and die
natural death, but the Hughes faction
in the legislature was too strongly In
control for this.
The attack on betting is not so severe in
itself, but the directors of the Jockey
club of the various tracks are held liable
for any offense against the law that
might be committed upon a track under
their Jurisdiction. At the same time the
publication of odds is forbidden. Many
turf men are already preparing to ship
their stables either west or into Canada,
while others of the richer turfmen will
invade England. France and Belgium.
The Canadian racing season opened to-
day at Delorimier park. Montreal The
stakes and purses hung up for the meet
are very good and all the stakes are
filled with high class entries. Canada.
however is handicapped by a bill which
prescribes that no race meeting shall be
over seven days in duration.
Speaking of the situation today James
r. Keene said:
Even the most cheerful of us are q
little blue now. 1t is not the fact that
betting is prohibited, but the fact tint
the race track owners are held respon-
sible for infractions of the new law.
That means that many wealthy men will
withdraw their support from the Ameri-

MAN IN A STATE OF NATURE
Roosevelt Tells what Nature Does
to Primitive Man and the
Lower Animals.

The game is ever on the alert against
the lion, this greatest of foes, and
every herd, almost every Individual, is
In imminent and deadly peril every few
days or nights, and Of course suffers
in addition from countless false alarms
But no sooner is the danger over than the
animals resume their feeding, or love maxi
ing, or their fighting among themselves,
Two bucks will do battle the minute the
herd has stopped running from the foo
that has seized one Of its number, and q
buck resumes his love making with ardor,
in the brief interval between the first and
the second alarm, from hunter to lion,
Zebra will make much noise when one of
their number has been killed: but their
fright has vanished when once they begin
their barking calls.
Death by violence, death by cold death
by starvation-thcse are the normal endngs
of the stately and beautiful creatures Of
the wilderness. The sentimentallsts who
prattle about the peaceful life of nature do
not realize its utter mercllessness; although
all they would have to do would be to
look at the birds in the winter woods or
even at the insects on q cold morning or
cold evening. Life is hard and cruel for all
the lower creatures. and for man also In
what the sentimentalists call a Estate OF
nature" The savage of today shows us
what the fancied age Of gold of our an
cestors was really like; 1t was an age when
hunger cold, violence and iron cruelty
were the ordinary accomplishments of life
II Matthews Arnold, when he expressed the
wish to know the thoughts of earth's 'vigor-
GUS, primitive" tribes of the past, had
really desired, an answer to his question,
he would have done well to visit tho homes
of the existing representatives of his "vlgor-
Gus, primitive" ancestors, and to watch
them feasting on blood and quits; while as
for the ''pellucid and pure" feelings of his
imaginary primitive maiden, they were
those OF any meek. cowlike creature who
accepted marriage by purchase or of con-
venience. as a matter of ourse.-Theodore
