| lnalH OD1ecb is TO consume ell the refuse
dIssecting matter which aceumulates in the
University, although the furnace will be
offered for the use of the general public. II
Will be built of iron and fire brick. The
crematory chamber will be just large enough
to contain one adult-six feet six inches in
length, two feet high and three feet wide.
The fuel will be soft coal, because it makes
q quicker, hotter fire than hard coal, and
there will be furnace at each end of the
chamber SO that the flames will pass over
the body in opposite directions. It will
take six hours to reduce a body to ashes.
What will become of all the gases? Will
| there be complete combustion of then? ?
IS question which naturally arises. DR. J
Is. Beaver, demonstrator Of ANATOMY an
swers it in the affirmative.
Base ball ls gaining in popularity every
DAY and the trial of skill during the last
few days between the Athletics, Philadel-
an unprecedented degree of excitement.
Len TO hfteen thousand people assembled
each day to see the games and with those
VINO could not go the greatest excitement
prevailed. All along the lines of cars and
carriages returning from the grounds, peo-
pie would call out, "Who beat?" and Chest
nut street was thronged with people at the
bulletin board OF the Press, eagerly waiting
every announcement. Disappointment
must come to one side or the other, but it
seemed pretty hard that the ST. Louis should
be beaten three times out of the four. In
reality the st. Louis is the best nine. and
their defeat was attributed to the pitching
OF = jumping Jack" Jones. He is consid-
cred a wonderful pitcher. His beautiful
souprlquet was suggested by his habit of
jumping high IN the air whenever he throws
the ball, and unless the batters are accus
TONED to him they get confused. The yisi
tors played closer game each succeeding
day ana IN few more games would have
solved the mystery of Jones' delivery. He
has several styles of delivery, the most eff
fectlye of which is the one that earned him
h1s title. He generally delivers his balls in
other ways until two strikes are called. when
ne jumps up in the air and pitches the bali
ID 11l various and curious curves. One of the
st. Louis nine remarked that he could not
tell whether Jones Or the ball was coninn
at him. '' 'oAiiiiis
You have no doubt seen that Judge Hoad-
ly came here few days ago for the nnrnose
OF consulting the distinguished Prof. Robo
erts BartholoW, Dean of jefferson Medical
Goilege and formerly Professor of the
Pr1nclples and Practice of Medicine in the
ONO Medical College of Cincinnati The
Doctor pronounces the Judges maladv ma
lar1a and says he will soon be able to re-
sumo his campaign duties. The Democra-
TIC cause, however, will be likely to laneuish
on account of his absence. There he Inanv
that VIII not fully understand the matter
and thinking he left because his cause was
weak, will become disheartened and NAV
not rally around his standard as promptly
as the Judge desires. The Judge is a man
OF fne talents and high honor and when
nominated stood fair chance of being
elected, but Boss Mclean of the Cincinnati
Enquirer hates him and from present an
peafance5 he means to do all in hie pc,var
to sacrifice him. Worry over the prospect
OF defeat has no doubt more to 90 with the
lndlsposltlon of the Judge than Ohio ma,a-
ria. visitors are still excluded and no time
has been fixed for his return.
