She wil] be buried ina $50,000 casket, which she had constructed two years ago, under her personal supervis- ion, and will be laid to rest in the $500,000 mausoleum built by herself and first hus- band. After her husband's death Mns. Hiller , Startled the community by marrying her | coachman, Peter Surettle, who for a large ‘money consideration, agreed to change his name to Hiller. A niece of Mrs. Hiller’s made strong objection to the maich, and te | wedding, which was to have taken place March 16, 1898, did not take place until April 23 that year. Surettle was given a sound thrashing by the pretty niece. who an umbrella and rained blows on his head, until he was rescued by his intended bride. He signed an anti-nuptia] agreement, giving up his interest, as her husband, in her large es- tate. In consideration of this Mrs. Hiller settled a large amount of properiy on him. Albert W. Ryerson of Detroit announced, after Mrs. Hilier’s marriage to her cosch- man, that Mrs. Hiller had asked him to marry her, offering him $100,000 tn cash and an allowance of $20 a month besides, if he would become her husband. She also prom- ised, he said, to bequeath to Lim, on her death, the most valuable portion of her es- tate. He refused these offers, and married a pretty Detroit girl. Mrs. Hiller denied Ryerson's assertions. But it was the building of the costly mausoleum that made the Hillers famous, Mrs. Hiller suggested the plan, inasmuch as they had lost every one of the 23 children born to them, and there would be no one left to perpetuate their name. Her hus- band told her to carry out any idea she chose to adopt. She chose tae costliest materials, and the mausoleum was bullt regardiess of expense, Its Walls were five feet th.ck, and the gates, Of wrought tron and steel, were aoubie locked, to prevent desecration of the tomb by grave robbers. Phen came the idea to build costly caskets or sarcophagi, in which were to be placed Mr. and Mrs. Hiller’s bodies when they had been summoned from earth. Search was mado all over the world for rare woods. Mrs. Hiller paid $1000 for planks from the big California redwood trees, and $1500 for wood from cedans of Lebanon. She also bougnt costly red cedar; but all were dis- carded. After infinite pains, and a large cost, the chotcest mahogany from South America was procured and used the construction of the caskets, which were exquisitely carved by the most skillful workmen. Afier Mr. Hiller’s death Mrs. Hiller began thinking of burial robes for herself, ang she had them prepared on a scale of migni- ficence never before known. The outer rote was made of the ricest corded silk, decor- ated with 500 yards of hand-made silk, and trimmed with over 5000 English daisies, em- broidered by the most skilful artists in France. On the side were panels of white surah silk. The robe was fastened by 100 silver hooks, designed by Mrs. Hiller. Its cost was $20.00), and the under sarments cost $5000 more. Mr. and Mrs. Hiller were estimated at the time of the former's death to be worth over $6,000,000, gained in manufacturing anc& aelling patent medicines, It Ase) Several ‘housand blue noses, masculine and feminine, journeved the business part of St. Louis Saturday morning, to say nothing of a few more thousand chattering teeth.

CONTRIBUTIONS FROM MORE CHURCHES THAN EVER. However, Reports Show That They Have Not Kept Pace With the Work and More Are Need- ed for Annuitants. In the range of reports considered Satur- day by the one hundred and twelfth Gen- eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States, those fraught with the deepest interest were the one on the relief for disabled ministers and the widows and orphans of dead ministers, and the re- port on the method of appointment of stand- ing committees of the assembly, otherwise known the ‘‘Peoria Overture.” The report on ministerial relief was pre- Elder Louis H.

But 3119 churches have failed to send any contribution during the year. Mr. Severince showed that tions of the churches had neither kept pace with the advinre of the chureh nor with i the advance of the roll of annuitants and the churehas should very largely tnrcrease their annual centributions to the board.

THEY WILL VOTE AND REPORT. DECISION BETWEEN SATURDAY NIGHT AND. MONDAY. Statistics Given Show 31,000 Workers Who Might Go Out Should a Strike Be Ordered—What Some Leaders Say. Action con-erning a general sympathy Strike was referred by the presidents, sec- retaries and vousincss agents of the labor unions of St. Louis to their respective bodies, at a meeting at Walhalla Hall, Fri- day night. The separate unions will vote on the pro- posal to quit work. A decision will be reached between Saturday night and Mon- day morning, and the results will be re- ferred back to the central bodies for ac- tion. If the vote is in favor of a sympathy strike the time for it to go into effect will be left to the discretion of the executive committees of the Central Trades and Lae bor Union, the Building Trades Council and the Street Railway Employes’ Union, Sentiment was divided in the general meeting as to the advisabillty of declaring a sympathy sirike, but when resolutions re- ferring the matter back to the unions were presented they were adopted with only two dissenting voies. If the strike goes into effect more than 31.000 allied trades workers may suspend work. This is the strength of union labor in St. Louis exclusive of steam railway em- ploves. The figures were obtained by the Post-Dispateh from labor leaders who are ‘informed on the statisties. Of the total num- ber the Trades and Labor Union musters 10,000; the Isuilding Trades, 6700; the Metal Trades, 590; the Shoe Workers, 4000 and unaffiliated unions 4000. The resolutions referring the propased sympathy strike to the various unions fol- lows: Whereas, We, the representatives of the organized workers of the City of St. Louls, have indorsed the action of our fellow-unionists, the street rail- way workers, in their battie in bebalf of their rignts to organize and protect their labor through a trade union organfzation; and, Whereas, The transit company, an organization that depends upon the will of the mass of citizens for its rights of existence as an organization, has challenged that right of its employes and ts seek- ing to crush and destroy their union and to rob them of their constitutional rights through the aid of thugs and criminals; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the representatives of the various trade umions in the City of St. Louis, declare that the time has come for every tide unionist to act in unison with our fellow-workmen, the stree railway employes, and that it is the sense of this body that we recommend to our fellow-untonists through wut the entire city that upon a call, com- ing from a majoriy of the executive committee of the «entral Trades and Labor Union, Trades Council and the executive committee of the street railway men, that we suspend all labor and refuse to do auy more work until the strike is set- tied. The matter of instituting proceedings to have the franchise of the transit company annuled was referred to a special commit- tee.

When the United States Circult Court wag called to order at 2 o'clock Saturday aftere noon Judge Adams announced that the tne junctian prayed for by the United States 9 against the strike leaders and others, who are interfering with the running of mail cars in St. Louis, would be issued. He sald: “There will be an injunction order issued, but the extent of the order will be deter- mined later in the afternoon. 1 will dispose of the cases in hand first, and then take up the applkation for the injunction.” United States District Attorney Bdward A. Judge Eimer B. Rozier applied Saturday morning to Adams of the United States Circult Court for an injunction, re and all other persons from interfering In any manner with the running of United States mail cars on the tracks of the St. Louis Transit straining the strike leaders Co, street car lines. The information is based upon complaints ' led with the government authorities by Postmaster Baumhoff and other employes of the Postoffice. Mr. Rozier presented the petition and stated tha, additional affidavits would be filed with the court as soon as hey could be prepared. Judge Adams atated that he would hear the motion for a temporary injunction at 2 o'clock. The affidavits which the district attorney referred to were made by the following persons who are connecved with the St. . Louis Postoffice: Postmaster Fred Ww. Baumhoff and his private secretary, | J. Harry Bracken; George B. Stroupe, super- intendent of the city distributing depart- ment; F. C. Reims, superintendent of the inquiry department, and A. Beoffiner, Ben Schnurmacher, F. A. Doyle and Thomas B. Cooper, who are railway postal clerks. Fifty defendants are named in the bill of complaint, the plaintiff being the United States of America. There are five lines ni the transit system upon which mail care runs: Grand avenue lines north and eouth, Broadway lines north and south and California avenue line, In tis complaint to the district attorney, Baumhoff says that on the Grand avenue line south seven mall cars should be run daily, but since Saturday night only six care altogether have been able to run, and they have made only par- tial trips. The complaint continues: “Interference with these cars has grown sy bold and effective as to practically sus- pend their operation.” Following are the 8 defendants namep: W. G.
