WEIRD FUNERAL.

CORPSE IN A ROCKER. With her body seated' in a rocking-1 chair among the mourners, the funeral of Mrs Louise Cunningham has been carried out at Philadelphia. Before her death Mrs Cunningham made her husband promise that he would have her body placed in a rock-ing-chair while the funeral services were held. | Fully 100 people were at .the grave- ! side, and the appearance of the whiteI robed remains in the chair were so lifelike that the occasion looked very unlike a funeral.
