tons have been at loss.
The Negro Undertakers have
hired their carriages to our people
at $500, which was losing PROPOSE
ton and the rapid price of oats from
Soc To soc per bushel and hay from
SIG 10 SS0'per ton and corn from Zoe
to Sll65 per bushel, has compelled
US to raise the price of carriage hire
from $500 to $500 for funerals anG
hearse hire from $500 to $500 in
reasonable city limits.
This will scarcely cover actual
operating expenses. In everything
that goes to make up funerals, the
prices have been greatly raised, just
like shoes, clothing, rood, etc. but
because we already owned our horses
and carriages We have tried to bear
the expense of the raise, hoping that
we could endure until conditions
would settle. But with the raise of
food stuff advanced to more than
double the usual price, we find that
We must at present advance the price
of carriage and hearse service one
dollar. In many instances We have
paid white undertakers $500 and had
to accept less than that amount.
This we cannot do. Our services at
$500 will he limited to our capacity
and when more than our capacity is
used the others will be furnished at
actual cost to us.
The price of hearses and carriages.
and, in fact, all that make up fun
eral, has for long time been less
III Nashville than in any other city
IN. the country, and today We are
giving better service for less money,
than in any city in the. country.
On account Of the above conditions
we, the undersigned, agree to charge
the above prices.

mitted to go through the floors, where
Nashville:made goods are on exhibit

On the 21st of last month, the Per-

on through the entire day. to 500

necessity for rushing or crowding, as
all who attend will have an oppor-
tunity to witness the process of can

NASHVILLE Y. M. C. A.

Visiting Sunday School Congress
delegates (among the men and boys)
will be offered domicile in the new Y.
M. C. A. building that has been re.
Gently opened for the colored people
of Nashville. This action was taken at
the meeting of the Committee of Man

porgress, they would, in all probability.
be able to offer board and lodging to
at least two hundred of the men and
boys who will be i'm attendance at the
twelfth annual session of the Sunday
School Congress. This spacious build
ing with all of its apartments has been
placed at the disposal of the General
Committee, of which the Rev. j. IL.
Harding, ID. d., is Chairman and
Henry A. Boyd is the Secretary. An
nouncement cards will be sent out
giving the delegates the number OF
the room in the new Y. M. @. A. build
ing to which they are assigned. BY
this arrangement, the Congress Secre-
tary, Henry A. Boyd, stated that 1t

would allow the women who are in
attendance to be assigned to the pri-
vate homes, and it will relieve the
men from having to be assigned to
the private homes to large extent.
The Local Committee looking out for
the assignment of the delegates, is
already at work, and the assignment

THE FOOD SPECTATOR.

to reasonable profit, but when a
man buys potatoes for less than a
dollar per bushel and holds them I'M
I'll he received at least ST. he is now
receiving more than a reasonable pro-
fit. To gamble with human. food is
not in the same class as speculation
with luXuries. 1t looks to us like rob-
bling the poor. The government officer
who does not make an effort to put
stop to this nefarious practice is
guilty of derelection of duty. The rail
roads are toasted over a fire of Goals

but where, oh where. is the man to

 HEARD DELEGATES REPORT
William Fitzgerald Tells of Hearing
 on Compensation at Hartford.

The regular meeting of the Central Labor Union was held Tuesday even ing in Carpenters hall and was well attended. The interest and enthusi- aSm manifested at tine meeting goes to show that the work of the body will be continued with the old time vigor.
 Various matters of great importance were discussed at length. The pend ing legislative bills received consider able attention.
 William Fitzgerald, the delegate, sent to the compensation hearing at Hartford last Thursday. gave his re- port and state dthat the amendments to that bill would no doubt carry, la Dor having been well and ably repre- scented at the hearing.
 Dennis Sullivan of tha Baltic Mule spinners and secretary of the c. L. U., was elected to attend the hearing in Hartford the amendments to Stat ute No. 1296. which will be taken up today Wednesday,. This law In it's present form is a thorn in the side of labor and a disgrace to an enlight- ened people, they claim. There is no doubt that this bill will be amended at this session of the legislature.

TRACES OF EARTHoUAKE.
Remarkable Evidences of Recent
 Shock Noted by PIainfield Resident.

A Piainheld correspondent writes: noted in The Bulletin a few days since mention of shock felt and heard by number of your readers early last week. Last Tuesday, in walking across a pasture and meadow, I mo- ticed four or i've cracks or crevices in the crusted snow which had made their appearance since the day before. I followed the same and found them from fifty to four or five hundred feet fin length. In some places ice six in- snow crust. and probably the frozen earth as we'll. They were. still visible after the light snowfall of Tuesday night, and may still be seen. I have no doubt they were the result of an earthquake as I suspected on first seeing them. Believe me, in case of even a little quake I. would prefer to live in my small farmhouse to the tall est sl<yscraper in New York city.
 saw my first stariings last Fri day, a flock of a hundred or more. had noticed their tracks in the snow for few days before. and could not place them. The tracks are very much like a crow's, but smaller.
 Not an English sparrow have I ever seen on my place. and they are plenty ly all our native birds are to be seen here during the summer. Night hawks only rarely though, and they nest every year two miles from here.
 saw the track of some small anil nal Friday. and can think of nothing other thhn a civet cat. Apparently 1t Is no larger than a vessel. but it walks like cat or skunk. Are there civet cats fin this country
