A Lesson For Nellie


Mrs. Washington was a strict disci-
plinarian about certain matters and
among other things always required
the members Of the household to fol-
low the example Of her husband and
dress for dinner, which was at
O'Clock. On one occasion Nellie Gus
tis and her cousin. Martha Dandridge
appeared at the table in their morning
gowns, but 10 comment was made
upon it until a coach was seen ap-
preaching and the visitors, some
French officers Of high rank and
Charles Carroll. Jr.. Of Carrollton, one
of Miss Custis' ardent suitors, were
announced. Instantly the girls, in a
flutter Of excitement, begged to be ex.
cused in order to change their gowns
but Mrs. Washington shook her head
NO." she said. Remain as you are.
A costume good enough for President
Washington is good enough for any
guest of his" Needless to say, Miss
Nellie never overlooked her proper
garb for dinner again. - National

COSTS MORE TO DIE.

Kansas City, Mo. Feb. 1s.-It
even costs you more to die these
days.
Ten years ago you could con-
tract a nice case of fever, go to a
hospital. receive medical attention
be nursed. die and be buried for
about $3.50. Now since the trusts,
aided and abetted by the tariff,
have pushed up the price of every
thing, il will cost you about 5000 or
1925 10 die and be buried.
The trusts are making money
out of the increase in the price OF
death and burial, if what Kansas
City doctors, nurses and underta-
kers say is correct.
Coffins and graves have increas-
ed in price almost so per cent in the
last ten years. Lumber, silks, i'm
ported woods and other articles,
many of them imported. have al
most trebled in price because of
the tariff. Undertakers say the
trusts are reaping a rich harvest
in dollars because OF the increases.
And, because of the increased
cost of living. many nurses and
physicians have boosted their scale
OF fees.
A further increase is expected.

Appropriation Was Made.

At a recent meeting of the board of
directors of the c. & O.. it is said, an
appropriation of s40O0,O0O was made
to put the c. G. & l.. in physical con-
dition to handle the business to be
given it by the c. & O. This is taken
to mean that Hawley proposes to Sc
cure an entrance into Chicago for the
coal output of the c. & O. fields.
For some time past an order has
been in effect on the c. & O. to deliv-
er 125 car loads of coaol daily to the
c. {. e. /. OF these the Bradford
road has been able to handle less than
20 cars a day, leaving surplus of 80
cars, which have been thrown back on
the c. G O. with the result that its
Covington yards became congested.
With the expenditure of the c. & o.
appropriation the c. c. & l.. will be
practically rebuilt and Cincinnati will
be given another first class route to
Chicago, and the Hawley syndicate
will supply itself with a connecting
link between its lines east and those
in the central west.
That the plans of the c. & 0. to an
mex the c. c. & L. have about been
completed is evidenced by the fact
that Judge Goodrich at Indianapolis

receiver would in all probability be
ended within the next IS or 90 days

Special to The sentinel. !

Denver. May 1O.-Admitting that
their heal names are G. Nj. Jewell and
George r. Murphy the two young
men from Grand Junction, who ac-
cused j. A. Guyer and his wife and
Frank DeLong of robbing them by
working the old panel game on

We're found guilty of robbing the
young men and will be sentenced to
the penitentiary.
Jewell and Murphy, while in Dem
YER seeing the sights" met Mrs.
Guyer and another woman on the
street and went to their rooms with
the women when suddenly the two
men stepped out of another room,
accused the Grand Junction men of
breaking up their homes and demand
ed a snug sum of money TO keep quiet,
under penalty of violence and prose-
cution. The young men paid up and
then filed charges against the Guyers

clearly proven and the conviction fol-
lowed today.
