Eccentric Funerals.

An enormous crowd gathered at
Chester, England, a few months ago,
to witness the funeral of an electrical
engineer, who was carried to the
cemetery in a coffin that had been
laboriously constructed by himself
out of 1000 match boxes. These, with
their tops visible and advertising their
respective makers. were vanished
over and strengthened inside with
wood. On the coffin was placed an
electric battery.
Some years ago a maiden lady died
at Calemis-sur-Lys. In France who
was reported TO have been cham
pion snuff taker. Her funeral was
most extraordinary. Her wish was
that her coffin should be filled with
tobacco, the floor of the mortuary
chamber carpeted with it, and the
heir to the property charged to scat
ter tobacco before the hearse on the
way to the cemetery.

BACK TO AMERICA
UrIah S. James Was at Cologne
During the Mobilization of
the German Army

Crjah James, SON ot Mrs. Uriah
James ot this city, arrived homr from
Europe last Friday. He left here about
two years ago and has been looking
after the Interests of the Gsholt Ma
chine Company of Madison. While
there he travelled extensively through
England, Holland, Belgium. Germany
and France.
Mr.. James made his headquarters at
Cologne, Germany, and was there dur
ing the mobilization OF the German
army. He tells us that for seven days
and nights the tramp of the army
through the streets WAS continuous.
Men from Is to Is years Of age are
forced to take arms for their country.
They are we'll trained and with their
new uniforms it WAS n gr md sight, All
are eager to get into the field, and are
loyal to the country. The women are
ms loyal as the men and are managing
affairs very we'll at home. War is not
without its dark side and many heart
rending scenes came to his notice. IL
You ask n German IL he has any hest
fancy about going to war he will in.
variahly inform you that il he can get
a few of the Frenchmen first he would
he willing to die, Their hatred of the
French is very marked,
Germany is swarmed with soldiers
and besides their own army there We're
eight million Russian soldiers,
Liege, Germany, where u battle was
fought, is about two hours ride from
Cologne. The safe course for an Amer
lean to take is not to show any interest
one way or the other. He saw several
spies arrested, The male population of
the city of Cologne is ut present small
and business is mt standstill. The
large stores are turned into hospitals
and after the battle of Liege 400 wound
ed soldiers were brought to Cologne
Germany seems TO be fighting for exis
tence.
A week after war was declared Mr.
James thought il high time to get out
OF the country. He was fortunate in
being in seaport city. The trains
We're carrying no one but soldiers SO he
was forced to sail down the Rhine to
Rotterdam and there secured passage
on the Noordum for America. He en-
countered little difficulty. Two vessels
were sunk at the entrance of the En-
glish Channel, leaving just room enough
for the Noordum to pass through The
Noordum was stopped In the English
Channel and ordered to follow the coast
of England. There were Mt least
twelve men of war stationed along that
coast
Mr. James tells us that he was treat
ed with utmost respect and considera-
ton at the hands Of the Germans and
no one who has American friends in
Germany need worry about their well
fare
