Two HUNDRED AND FIFTY LIVES 10 the
price which London, Ontario, paid last
week for the privilege of pa.ronlzing a
rotten river boat. A large crowd were
returning to London on an excursion
steamer, the Victoria, which had long
been known 10 be rotten and unfit for use.
The steamer was overloaded, having on
board about $50 persons, who had been
celebrating the Queens Birthday. Sud-
denly, within twenty feet of the shore,
the boat collapsed and sank in twelve
feet Of water. Many were crushed by the
falling Of the upper deck, but the greater
part of the ESQ dead lost their lives by
drowning. 2as corpses have been recov.

tlnued. There IL scarcely . family Of
London that IL not called upon to mourn
the death Of re:stives.
To be sure, somebody is to blame. OF
course it is the Captain. II always the
Captain. He should know that his boat
is detective; he should not allow 1t to be
overloaded; he ought 10 be hung for his
cupidity and criminal negligence. Yes,
the Captain is responsible, and should be
brought to stric: account for the accident
and immense loss Of life. But there 10

everybody says. was known to be unsafe.
Why, then, was 1t patronized! Why did

him with blame and censure, and forget
that the public knowingly allowed and
patronized poor boat.

Cremation.

EDITOR TRANsCRIPT:-Youru notice OF
the New York Cremation society is in the
main correct, but somewhat incomplete.
With your permission I will state that
there are three classes of members, active,
associate and corresponding; with differ
ent obligations and benefits attaching to
each which I will not trespass upon
your space to specify here; that active
members may reside in any part Of the
world and associate and corresponding
members any where except in the city Of
New York and within radius of i've
miles around said city, and that all active
and associate members in good standing
at the time of their death are entitled to
incarceration at the expense Of the society,
or Of fund set apart for that purpose,
irrespective of the amount Of dues the
members have paid into the society 5 treas
ury.. In the case Of = new member this
might be as small q sum Is $2.25. At
the LsMoyne crematory, Washington, Pa,
the charge is $45, and the privilege of
slowly rottlng in Greenwood here costs
anywhere from $s5 to $1,000. "You pays
your money and you takes your choice"
But lest some may sheer at 80 mercenary
an idea a. that Of economy in the dis
possl of the dead, and so dismiss the sub
ject, I will say that economy is but Sec
sndary consideration and minor object
Of the crenatioDists. They believe that
the health Of the living, the peace Of the
dead, sentiment, art, utility. al ere best
promoted or attained by cremation, and
that no law. divine or human, forbids that
mode OF returning dust to dust, ashes to
ashes.
The New York Cremation Society was
organized March 8, Of this year, and num-
beers Is members. Regular meetings are
held senl.monthly, except during July,
August and September, on which coca.
siens papers are read and discussions
had in relation 10 cremation. The fol-
lowing distinguished persons have read
papers before the society since its organi-
cation: E. J. Birmingham, NJ. D., editor
Of the Aedieal Gazette; Rev. ]. D. Beug-
less, D. D., chaplain U. s. N; Jno. Sto-
rsr Cobb, l.. L. D., and Mrs. Isabella
Grant Meredith. These papers, which,
instead Of being dry and melancholy, as
persons who have not heard them might
we'll assume, are interesting and valuable
on account of their historic character aud
literary excellence, will be preserved in
the archives of the society to be ultimately
published for the information and educa.
ton of the public upon subject regard
ing which there is little knowledge and
much prejudice. The society Is steadily
increasing in numbers and may be said
to be in q dourish,ng condition. Its
membership comprises persons Of ell
classes. both sexes and many creeds, its
president being an orthodox clergyman.

further information in regard to the soci-
ETY., or who may wish 10 subscribe for the

SOME VERY HARD NUTS TO CRACK,
LIST, Companies have sprung up in every
part of the Union for making an imitation
Singer Machine. Why are not similar compa-
sewing machines? Tho public will draw its
own Inference. Gold is continually counter
feited-brass and tin never.
"a, The Singer has taken the LIST prize over all
competitors more than 200 times Why?
Sd, After the Chicago fire, the relief COM
mlttee undertook to furnish sewing machines
to the needy women of that city. 1914 appli
cants were permitted to choose from six diff
ferent machines; 2, 427 chose Singer Machines,
and 5l7 distributed their choice among the
five other kinds of machines. These girls were
to earn their living on these machines. Why
did they take Singers?

people bought Singer Machines as follows
1870. l27,833 1879 49, ,l89
Many OF the manufacturers of other machines
refuse to state their sales. WHY? 74,735 more
