' - During the late disturbance In Mex ico, there was one man who was tbe acknowledged leader of the insurreo tos. This was General Phys Pryce, for whom the Mexican government offered a reward of 125,000 either dead or alive. The Kalem company now in Mexico, made special arrangements with General Pryce and produced the film, "The Colonel's Escape." This Is founded on an actual experience and staged In Mexico In local settings. , TW! pUure to 0M ot. m.Mt ?' leresiing nims every snown in . lm Grande presenting, as It does, the most talked of man during the recent Mexican trouble.

GBOCEIY of that love actually desire to look once more on the face that has been a blessing and a source ot comfort; but the rabble ought to be excluded. I hope my face shall never be uncov ered at a church funeral, but If it Is. I would like to come to life long enough to shoo the buxzarda away, or to rise up and make a face at them. Each of us Is curiosity enough when we are alive, and ought to cease to be such after we are dead. The people who ought to read this will never do so, for they are not in telligent enough for It. Speaking of funerals, permit the writer to add that there is another reform that must come along that line and the sooner the better. It Is In tbe matter of the expense of the affair mortuary. It is a reform of the hard est kind to meet and to change for the reason that it Is considered right and proper for the deceased to have a costly laylng-away. By far the most costly article of furniture some people ever bought Is the casket which Is placed In the ground to decay. It is not the fault of the undertakers for they are in the business merely for the accommodation of the public. A bundled dollar funeral Is not uuusual In wrj.poor families. Gnef never counts the cost a. fact the undertaker and the grief-stricken often dlswr.? wiicn hills are due. V? reb'er i pk pres.' as that would not be politt;. Tw- nty dollars is a big expense for trie ordinary casket. I mean one ar tually needful tor the occasim and lumber would sell high even in that cast. People of too moderate means are often omra-i , cd for mi'-'lu n.l sometimes for years Just because they felt the unwritten demands of society In matters funereal. One man I know burled his wife in a casket costing $1,750. He was weal thy, to be sure, but why should that waste of money be made? . ' One will say it is an expression of love. Love should be reasonable. Was this? '"Why this waste?" f Horse Show nt Long Branch. ' Long Branch, N. J., July 23.
