COSTLY ITALIAN FUNERALS.
Most EXTavagant Persons in New
York i'm HOnOring Their Dead.

Italians are the most extravagant
persons in New York in honoring
their dead. They may herd ten in
a room, live on garlic and black
bread aud economic in many ways
inConceivable to the Saxon mind.
But they must have expensive
funerals There is an immense
italian colony in Union and Presi-
dent streets, between Fifth avenue
and Gowanus canal, Brooklyn. 1t
has more Italian residents than
many large city in Italy. Almost
all the funerals pass up the Slope
and skirt Prospect Park on their
way to the cemetery. With hardly
an exception the funeral procession
is headed by a band of thirty or
more pieces ahead of the hearse
That is followed by a double file OF
mourners. All the men and half
grown boys walk Women, small
3hildren and invalids ride the car

funeral of that kind costs not less

STUNTS OF ARAB. BATHERs.
Some of the Things Done Where
Thousands Seek Health.

More than 10000 Arabs take the
hot baths at Hannah irha each
year. OF these bathers about two
thirds are women. Besides the med
ical effect the baths are for the Arab
woman a meeting place where she
encounters her friends, as they re-
main long time in the baths, three
quarters of an hour or more. They
dip themselves in the water from
time to time; then, sitting on the
curb, they chat, laugh and sing.
Sometimes one of them addresses
an invocation to the Sultan Silman
! (SOlomin), patron of the springs
hidden in the mountain. The more
/ believing sometimes receive their
/ recompense in seeing the steam rise
| from the water. After the bath the
native rolls himself in his cloak and
! lies in the sun.
| To quench the burning thirst
which the very warm bath gives the
Arabs suck the juice of lemons or
! oranges or they drink a tiny cup
/ OF coffee. Many Arabs, instead of
/ going to the establishment, prefer
/ to take the bath in the open air.
! On the side Of hill a spring flows
from the rock, and the natives fire.
/ quently go there to battle in the nat
ural basin where the water gushes
! out.
AS a votive Offering the women
hang portions of their wells on the
neighboring bushes The childless
go there piously to plunge in their
small stuffed dolls. 1t is there that
the prayer is above all agreeable to
Cidi Sliman. They sacrifice fowls to
him, they burn incense and spices
in the earthen braziers and it is
I in his honor that the little, many
colored wax taperB stuck in the
ground burn so often at night.

FOR NINETY MILLION HANDS
COTTON GIVES WORK IN PRO-
DUCTION AND HANDLING.
Census Bureau Shows Great Gains in
Southern SpindIes. Annual Re-

I
Southern SpindIes. Annual Re-
view of the Cotton Supply.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Repre-
senting the supply OF cotton in the
United States for the year ending
August 81 last as being II, 181,O21
bales. 20 per cent less than that OF
! the previous year, in its annual re-
view of the cotton supply the census
| bureau says that 50 per cent was
exported.
The quantity of cotton consumed
during the year was 4,798,953 bales,
compared with 5,240,719 bales in
1909, a decrease of AL, 1865 bales,
or 8 per cent. The average weekly
consumption of cotton in the United
States in 1910 amounted to about
$4,000 bales, compared with 100000
in 1909, $1,000 in 1908, and &c.
900 in 1907
A significant feature of the report
is the growth shown in the manu-
featuring industry in . the cotton
growing states since 1880. There
were in these states thirty years ago
only 561,360 active spindles, con-
Stunning 2,292,334 bales of cotton.
The quantity of domestic raw cot
ton exported during the year ending
August 81, 1910, amounted to g.
339,028 running bales, valued at
46O,868,02O. Of this cotton 80 per
cent went to the United Kingdom,
80 per cent to Germany, Is per cent
to France, these three countries TAX
ing about five-sixths of the total
quantity exported.
According to the report the total
value of exported cotton goods of do
nestle manufacture for the year
ending June 80, 1910, amounted to
$33, 39S'672, whereas the import of
manufactures in the United States
during the same year amounted to
$66, 374,1 43 in value. The Industrial
Importance of American cotton is.
illustrated by the fact that not less
than 90,000,000 persons are en-
ployed in its production and hand
ling and the industries for which
it furnishes the raw material.

1t is not an unusual thing to hear
of fish hooks, hairpins and other like
articles being found in the gizzards
of fowls, but it is seldom that money
is discovered. Recently a cook for

To Keen The Rows on the Farm.

Boys will stay on, the farm as
well as anywhere, if they receive
decent treatment at home. The boy
who is yanked out of bed by the
hair, kicked out to milk and cuffed
in to breakfast, as preliminary to
being popped through in the field
all day, is not likely to be consumed
by his love for the glories Of agri-
culture-nor for his sire. Give the
boy a fair show, and he'll stay with

Molly leader. They started to lynch
him, but he showed his usual nerve
and, drawing two revolvers, calmly
walked through the crowd. Al
though he had failed in saving the
superintendent life, he determined
that he would at least help to cap
ture the murderers. Going into a
hotel he wrote few words on sew
eral slips OF paper and dropped
them in the street where they could
be readily found. They were pick
ed up, and a posse, acting on the
hint, was organized and went after
the murderers. They were subse-
Iquently hanged.
Finally, suspected by the Mollies,
hated and feared by respectable cit
liens, who did not know his real

Returned as a Witness.
Indeed, he would surely have been
killed if he had remained, for the
feeling was strong against him. So.
toward the end Of 1875, he returned
to Philadelphia and was warmly
welcomed by the pinkertons.
In the following spring came the
trials of about fifty men accused Of
murder or of completely in murder.
In the course of his opening for the
government the district attorney
startled the audience in the court
room by announcing that among the
witnesses was man who for years
had lived in the county, had assoei-
ated with the Mollies, had been a
member of the order, was familiar
with its crimes, and was prepared
TO identify the murderers.
This witness was known to the
people of the coal region as James
McKenna, but his real name was
James MeParlan, and he was a de-
tectiye, said the district attorney.
When Mcparlan was called to the
witness stand the audience could
scarcely believe that the quiet, gen.
tlemanly, yet cool and resolute de-
tive was the wild and reckless Jim
McKenna they had known.
Mcparlan was on the stand four
days. He told his story simply and
amazed every one by his revela-
tons. The most searching cross
examination failed to find a flaw in
his testimony. When he told the
story of his being suspected Of be-
ing detective intense silence pre-
vailed in the courtroom. For the
first time the prisoners manifested
uneasiness. There were many Mol
lies present and they listened with
blanched cheeks to the recital.
