The Governorship of Montana

WASHINGTON, d. G., November %
Joseph X. Towle, the new delegate from
Montana, who succeeds Martin Nagln-
mis-, is from ST. Joseph, Mo. "Young,
handsome, a bachelor, and eminently
qualified for the position" is the way the
retiring delegate describes him. Mr.
Maginnis made something more than q
formal call at the executive mansion this
afternoon, and was accompanied by At
sistant Postmaster General Crosby, late
governor of Montana. The place
which Crosby vacated Is still open.
Crosby is q warm personal friend
of the president and Maginnis sustains a
similar relation to tho ex governor. 1t
is not difficult to draw conclusions as to
the meaning of this afternoons visit.
The retiring delegate is a Democrat,
but an ex federal officer and a Grand
Army man. In making Maginnls gov.
ernor the president would leave n ap
p~ointee not likely to be disturbed by the
new administration, and at the same
time would put into practical operation
for the first time since the Chicago con.
vention that plank in the platform favor
ing residents of the territory for terri
torial appointments.

LEFT THE CITY.
Tyler Cummings Puts Himself Out
of the Reach of His creditors.

Tyler Cummings, who is pretty well
known among the newspaper Offices at
least, has been extending his acquaintance
here at least, by the peculiar way in
which he embarked In the clothing bust
ness, and peculiar tanner in which he
has forsaken it. Lately he opened up
here what he claimed to be a branch of
Wanamaker & Browns great clothing
establishment, and claiming to BIO their
agent, commenced taking orders for
suits. About a week ago he suddenly
disappeared, and numerous creditors are
now mourning his absence. 1t Is now
claimed that he was in no sense an agent
for the house named, but hat he was
simply soliciting for orders, on commits
sion, for an Omaha agent. 1t is rumored
that he has gone to Texas and will not
return to Council Bluffs. He has a wife
and little child here, as well as a mother
and they are reported az being
sorely in need of his earnings to procure
the necessaries Of life. Cummings is an
active, smart young man, but does not
seem to stick to any one business very
long. 1t is said that in getting credit
here under the %pretence of being an
agent for Wanamaker 81 Brown that he
has laid himself liable to the law, and
some of those who got nipped will at.
tempt to give him the benefit of the law
should he return.

FUNERAL FAULTS.
A Call for Reform in Customs Con

At st. Paul's church yesterday morn

his hearers aome practical remarks on a
rather delicate subject-that of customs
In regard to funerals. He chose for his
text passages descriptive of the last end
Of the great patriarch Jacob, and how the
people mourned him seven days, and the
elaborate arrangements made by Joseph
expressive Of the great grief selt at his
fathers death. To the Hebrew, death
meant an eternity of rest after a lifetime
of work. There was no idea of heaven,
40 clear conception of future life, or the
resurrection. 1t was simply ''beinp
gathered to his fathers" For
thousands of years Jobs question:
'lf a man die shall he live again. re-
manned unanswered. There were
developing thoughts of the lite beyond,
but they only budded into maturity
under the light of Christianity, and even
when Christ spoke 80 clearly In regard
to resurrection he was misunderstood by
his hearers. All these ancient, and the
Oriental nations, thought dying was a re.
progression, a going down, and death as
a loss. Better be a slave here than a
king in hades. They spoke of death
only with a wall of sadness, but with
the dawn of Christianity all doubt
ended. There we're no more ''..fs," but
a glad shout of triumph. The very orig.
nal Of the word resurrectiond did not mean
