HEARSE DRIVER’S SIGNAL.
He Gives the High Sian, to Signify a
Block Ahead.
It is a common thing for the driv
er held up by a block ahead to throw
up his whip hand as a sign to drivers
following him. All sorts of drivers
do this: and yet it seemed sirange to
see the sign given by the driver of
a hearse.
Funerals are not commonly seen in
the crowded business streets of the
city where the sign may be neces
sary; they are met oftenest in resi
dence streets, where traffic is not
likely to be obstructed; and so nne
might, in. the course of time, see
many funeral prccessions pass and
never once see the hearse driver give
the high sign.
But the hearse is not always seen
at the head of a funeral procession;
it must of course go to and from the
place at which it is to head the line
of carriages, and then it moves alone,
as was the case with this hearse,
seen going up Broadway, like any
other separate vehicle in the midst of
a crush of trucks, wagons, carriages
and automobiles; and here, when
there was a block aheid, the man on
the box of the hearse threw up his
whip hand, just like any other driver
Appreciative. -
The most polite Weary Willie yet,
go far as the records show, was the
gleek fellow who, leaving a back door
the other day where he had been well
fed with a bow and a scrape of the
foot, delivered 'himself of the follow
ing: y
“Well, goodby, bosS. 1t time fares

Great Damage Is Done in the
Smaller Cities and Towns. 4‘
Many Houses Wrecksd---Warships in
the Harbor Shaken From Their
Moorings.
Mairseilles, France~From 75 0
100 dead and 100 injured is the latest
estimated total casualties, as the re
sult of the earthquake which devastal
od several towns and villages in the
southernmost part of France, partic
ularly in the departments of Herault
and Bouches du Rhone,
Great suffering is reported from the
remoter places, owing to a lack cif
bread and the necessaries of life, i
lore the arrival of assitsance, The
casualties may be greatly iucreascu,
as the ruins have not yet been el
tirely seaiched, The villages of 5.
Cannat and Rognese were completely
demolished by ‘ufe earthquake, aid
Lambeso, which is 12 miles from Alx,
sutfered heavily.
Marseilles, France, — Two earth
shocks, running from northeast 10
southwest, were felt throughout the
Rtiviera. - While the damage dong
here was not great, reports:irom the
smaller cities show that the effects of
the second shock were serious.
At Lamboso, a town of 2,500 inhab
itants, 12 miles northwest of Aix, sev
eral nouses collapsed and eight per
sons were killed, Troops were imme
diately hurried there to search in the
debris for dead or injured persons.
Several buildings also fell at Enguil
les, and at Aix a vermicelll factory
was partially demolishéd. The dis
turbance extinguished the arc lamps
in the street and !soke crockery aad
window panes,
The shocks were felt practically
throughout the whole south of France,
and that they equalled in severity the
earthquake of 1884. The violence of
the shcck appeared to have been
greatest in the vicinity of Toulon. !
Warships in the harbor there were
shaken from their moorings. In some
places, mysterious subterranean rum
blings accompanied the shocks.
SEABUARD REURGANIZATION.
Fcreclosure of the S. A. L. Property
Is to Be Avoided.
New York City.—Definite action to
ward the dissoluticn of the esaboard
Air Line HKailway Company receivei
ship was taken here. Although no of
ficial statement was issued, it was
lesxrned that the general seorganiza
tion committee had met and practi
cally agreed upon a plan of reorgan
ization by which foreclosure of tie
property is to be avoided and the ex
isting first mortgage 4 per cent bonds
will remain undisturbed.
Money to pay off the receivers’ cer
tiffcates and other immediate obliga
tions will be raised by the issue and
sale of income bonds. It is expected
that the reorganization will be effect
ed without assessing either the pre
ferred or common shares.
1t is planned to retire $3,000,000 of
‘the collatéral - trust three-year and
ten-year 5 per cent notes before ma
turity. As now outlined $3,000,000 is
to be called in on December 1 and
$4,250,000 on January 1, 1910, thereby
automaticaly terminating the receiv
ership. The plar also provides for
the dissolution of the voting trust on
January 1, 1910. A saving of not less
than 20 per cent in fixed charges is
expected under the proposed plan.

, U S AFTER BLACK HAND.
Headquarters of the Gang Discovered at
Marion,: Ohlo. ; ;
Cincinnatl, Ohlo,~Revelations In
the extortion, plotting and murder by
the HBlack Hand as uncovered by the
postoflice Inspectors from the Cinein
nati ofice show conclusively that the
SANg in Columbus, Marion, Denison
and Bellfontaine and other Ohio towns
were organized along the same lines
as the old Mafia, but, it anything, with
a much better gystem for concealing
thelr movements, It-is now known
that the Ohio Black Hand, or the “So
clety of the Banana,” as Its members
style themselves, had a branch in
Pittsburg and one in Chicago and a
line that extended to South Dakota.
Regular meetings were beld, and
the money obtained by extortion was
'distributed to various divisions in this
‘country and sent to relatives in Italy
for safekeeping, :
| *“We have found what I believe to
‘be certain proofs that the Black Hand
outrages, at least in the middle west,
including Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Cleve
land, Chicago, Columbus and other
western cities were committed by a
well-organized society with grips and
passwords, and that they are not
simply sporadic cases of individual ex
tortion,” said Chief Postoffice Inspec
tor Holmes, :
| “We have letters of the same hand
‘writing and on the same watered . pa
per, with the Black Hand emblems
made with the same chirographic style
thas were sent to victims in Cincin
‘nati and Columbus from the Black
jHand members in Pittsburg, Chicago
{and Cleveland. For instance, if a vic
|tim. were selected in Cincinnati, as
‘was the case in several instances, he
lwould perhaps receive the first threat
ening letter, demanding money on
pain of death by dynamite bomb, from
Marion, Ohio.
| “The second letter would be writ
‘ten by ihe same person, but forward
‘ed to the Black Hand in Pittsburg,
who would, in turn, then mail it to
,the victim. If there were no response
'in the way of money, then a third let
|ter would come to the victim from the
' Chicago Black Hand. In this way the
~organization concealea its move
ments. : '
| “The thousands of dollars sent by
;Black Hand members to Italy was
'simply their division of the spoils
'made at regular meetings, sent abroad
‘to their innocent relatives for safe
keeping.” s
1 Nine arrests have been made so far:
'in Columbus, Marion, Dennison and

CONFEDERALE Gk VeS TO BE MARKED
‘Government to Erect Monument at
‘ Salem, New Jersey. .
' Washington, D. C.—A monument Of
lr_narble or granite to cost about $8,500
is to be erected by the United States
government in the Confederate sec:
tion es Flinn’s Point national ceme
tery, ‘of Salem, N. J, to mark the
resting place of 2,460 officers and men
of the Confederate army and navy
‘who died as prisoners of war at Fort
Delaware between 1862 and 1865. Bids
for the monument will be opened on
January 21 by Colonel William Coats,
commissioner for marking the graves
of Confederate soldiers. The adop
tion of a monument for the purpose
is due to the fact that it has been
found impossible, because of imper
fect records, to place distinctive
headstones at each individual grave
China Fears Missionaries.
_Washington, D. C.—A movement
has been ‘inaugurated by China to lim
it the field of I#or of missionaries
in that empire. The Wai Wu Pu has
asked the foreign ministers at Pekin,
according to advices received. here.
to forbid missionaries proceeding
among the people in the frontier prov
inces in China. The objection to the
presence of missionaries there, is that
the people of this section are ‘in -
crude state of civilization, dnd. the
presence of misionaries may . occa::

highest, and that .he felt that the
highest honor in the veterans’ gift
should be passed from one ex-Confed
erate to anether in turn.
But the delegates disagreed with
him, and by a vote of 1,540 to 744 for
| Cabell, re-elected him to command]
‘ With tears streaming down his cheeks
and shaking with emotion, the stately
and aged soldier bowed to the com
mands of his comrades.
His election followed one of the
stormiest sessions of the Confedera
cy, which old time delegates can re
call. After ' Mobile, Houston, Nash
ville, Chattanooga and Oklahoma City
had been pus in nomination for the
next reunion, some one began to intro
duce outside speakers. Sweltering in
a temperature of over 100 degrees,
the veteran delegates objected strong
ly and yelled vigorously for a vote.
But the disorder was desultory. Fi
nally, John W. Apperson, commander
in-chief of the United Sons of Con
federate Veterans, secured the floor
and introduced Congressman T. U.
Sisson of Mississippi, as the spokes
man of the Sons. Nearly every one
thought Sisson was to spring a “dark
horse” candidate for the next meet
ing place. But, as it became evident
that the young congressman merely
desired to make a speech, the dele
gates became noisy and calls of “sit
down” and “vote” were insistent. Sis
son was game, however, and won out
- on a.test of endurance.
~ Meantime, Mrs. Moore Murdock of
' Dalfas, Texas, was endeavoring to be
heard. She possesses a. very mascu
line: voice and manner of delivery, and
~ghe soon quieted the assembly. The
sveterans listened in patience until she
.declared: " :
“We have lived as rabels, -we ‘are

or what they said'until Governor Has

Even he had a stormy greeting, which
might be construed one way or an

WOMEN'’'S FOOD EXPENSIVE.
Menus of Student Club of Men and of
Women Sow This.
.The question whether men eat less
than women do or whether they buy
more economically is suggested to a
writer in Health Culture by a com
parison of the grocery bills run M
by men students and bachelor girls
who have clubbed together for t‘he
purpose of cutting dcwn expenses.
" In every case in which tables for
comparison are given the men’'s menu
for the week costs less than that o?
the women. Both seem to have re
duced the food zllowance to the lew
est possible terms, but in footing up
the amount spent the women have run
into certain extravagance avolded by
the men.
‘‘Maybe,” says the puzzled irquirer,
“women really dom’t know how *o
shop, after all, but the more likely
supposition is that no matter how
strict the regimen the feminine na-:
ture requires certain luxuMies that
mere man can get along without.”
