hog market In July rallied to $ 10.30
and closed at about $10.15; the sheep
market for the month closed strong,

Items of Interest in connection with

lawn of the property. '
Mr. Oliver has filed a petition for
a rehearing, that is, the brief' and
abstracts will be reconsidered if, the
rehearing is allowed.- If the petition
is denied, then there is nothing for

to the south.
Scheie de Vere invited a choice com

extremely popular with the unveralty
J circle, and every one was on tiptoe of
pleased anticipation.

expected her the door opened not for

who announced:
"Miss Bremer, she beg excuse. , She

Funerals In England.
At the time of Queen Vlctorla'a fu
neral a writer iu the Undertakers
Journal complained that, while royal
burals were still conducted In an Im
pressive manner, a sad lack of cere
monial distinguished the funerals of
the nobility. "Item after Item has
been abandoned, idea after Idea has
been dropped, each meaning a distinct
loss to our business. An undertaker
in the west end. referring to the re
cent death of a noble lord, confided to
me:- 'Forty years ago 1 buried a mem-
ber of that family, and the funeral bill
Icame to 1,250 ($6,250). Ten years
j later 1 burled another, when It came
: to Just over 700 ($3,500). Fifteen
' years ago 1 buried a third, at a cost of
320 ($l,600i, but the bill for this one
did not reach 75 ($375).' "
