Let Mrs. Tiltoa Speak.

1t is now asserted that Beecher's counsel
propose TO call Mrs. Tilton as witness. II
so, it is to be hoped that the other side will
interpose no objection. Mrs. Tilton's testi-
mony will be valuable, not so much for
what she herself may say, but because it
will render it possible to call as witnesses
the eight or nine persons to whom it is al
legged that she confessed herself guilty, and
whose testimony is excluded so long as
Mrs. Tilton is not permitted to testify. Ii
is also very evident that if Mr.. Bowen
cares anything for his reputation he must
go on the stand, and, ii neither side will
call him, he should be permitted to testify
as an amicus curie.-N y Gruphic.

~ Of the larger cities, that the death
of member Of the family entails q
bill Of expenses to meet which gives
the living friends no little emharrass-
ment. Oftentimes the nndertaker's
charges, including the bill for car
riages, is as large as the salary Of
many a popular clergyman. Hundreds
If dollars must be forthcoming TO pay
he funeral rites. To be sure this does
not apply to every family. There are
many outside OF fashions circle who
9re thereby released from It's assess
nents. But even these feel the in
.laence oi the Extravaganza of others
in funeral expenses. It's one of the
tolIies of the times, and Ought to be
vigorously condemned and speedily
ovcrthroe'n.
There IL one feature in this funeral
aytrayancc that calls for special pro-
test There is no justification or pro-
priety, and is rarely any taste or fit
ness in the floral emblems which are
now regarded as an indispensable adj
iunct Of every funeral This fashion
for it is nothing more-is often
without any significance as tribute
- the deceased; it subjects living
persons to an expense they can ill.at-
ord to b6:Fr, and involves q wicked
waste Of money that might be APP.
piled to some good and practical pur-
pose.
\ few days ago the remains of Dan
Bryant'were conveyed to the tomb.
He was very popular in his time, but
died so'poor that his associates in the
dramatic profession are taking steps
% raise some funds for the benefit of
Ills family. They have literally moth
ing, anl the deceased left behind him
debts that probably will not be paid.
At his funeral the cost of the floral
cmbesns must haze been thousands
Of dollars! In Eis instance many Of
these t:ibutes were from those who
sincerely loved thei,' dead friend. But
low much better would it have been
had they applied the money so ex-
pended to the relief of the poor fell
lows wife and children.
1t has been stated upon good au,
;hority that the floral displays at
funerals where such exhibitions are
expected rarely cost less than several
hundred dollars. Five thousand dol
,lrS were spent al one funeral. 1t is
not unusual to hire florist to take
rarc of the emblems on the way to
The cemetery.
IN majority Of cases the costly
tributes are without significance.
Crowns, crosses, columns, harps doves,
and other designs in which the inge-
mty Of the florist is displayed, are
sent in with the Donors card affixed.
They are looked at, and displayed for
public inspection, just as wedding
presents are spread OUT upon long
lab.es, under the supervision of a
police detective. Very often those
Who give the flowers DO so because
'hcy feel under obligations to the
5amily Of the deceased. There is no
love expressed; no tribate of respect
Intended. 1t is simply the payment
"i q tax imposed by prevailing fash
son, But it is a custom that ought to
or put down, as at variance with the
N 4lncst principles of propriety and
Wod taste. 1t is an extravaganza
"NcA IS far from harmless, for the
BE-. W wasted upon these often map
i.'PNte emb'ams might in MANY
.''es = devoted 10 the support of
"e'"lniewidows and orphans.-Bf.
