Girls in Vienna

The education of girls in Vienna is
somewhat peculiar and worthy of note,
writes correspondent of that CITY.
Up TO fifteen years of age they are kept
at their studies, but are not deprived of
society. They dress very simply, rarely
wearing silk gown until the day they
leave the school-room for the ballroom.
After they leave school they go through
a years or even two years teaching in
the pantry and in the kitchen under
some member of the family, or even, in
some cases, in another family, under
trained cooks. They may never be re-
CURED to cook dinner, but they are
thus rendered independent of cooks
and servants, as they learn, how to do
everything themselves long before they
begin housekeeping on their own &C.
count. When married they make ex-
cellent wives and mothers. An Austrian
lady, in fact, is as accomplished and
learned as an English governess ,as good
housekeeper and cook as German.
as witty and vivacious in society as a
Partisan, as passionate as an italian.
and as handsome as an American. some
OF the most beautiful women in Europe
being found in Vienna.

oREMATED AT MIDNIGHT.
wierd Scenes and Ceremonies In the
/ q lancaster Crematorium.

Weird indeed was the cremation which
took place at the Lancaster cremator-
ium shortly before O'Clock Sunday
morning, the Sd inst, and it was none
the less weird because the hour atwhich
it occurred was the result of accident
At $50 Saturday afternoon party of
gentlemen from Chicago, bringing the
body of friend, arrived. They looked
amazed at finding no one to receive
them. They had telegraphed the Gre
matorium Association of their coming,
bat the telegram had miscarried. For
tunately, however, the furnace fires
had been lighted at noon for crema-
ton that was to take place on Sunday.
and by piling on fuel the retort was in
readiness for service at midnight. The
body was that of Charles F. Hercher,
prominent wholesale druggist of
Chicago, who was an avowed atheist,
aged fifty years.
At midnight about twenty people
gathered in the Pickering light of dull
coal oil lamps about the body of the
deceased. whose head, neck and face
were exposed to view by direction of the
deceased in his will. which directed that
his body should be cremated. AS the
doors of the retort were thrown open to
receive the body a ghostly light illum-
mated the place, which was as silent as
the tomb itself. Then, with not word
spoken, at nod from DR.. Shopper, the
eldest brother-in-law of the deceased,
approached the body, passed his hand
over the cold forehead and silently re-
tired. The other friends from Chicago,
including DR.. Shoppers, did precisely
the same thing, but made no examina-
ton of it. This was the only ceremony.
The twenty persons present were most
ly physicians. with a sprinkling of
press representatives and others, includ-
ing several ladies.
At O'Clock the ashes were removed
from the retort to make way for the
body of Samuel ]. Sargent, which ar
rived at sos, and was placed In the
retort.at $50 making two cremations In
side of eight hours, and three within
three days. Mr.. Sargent was native
Of Oneida county, New York, but who
died at PIttsburg from heart disease,
aged fortytwo years. These we're the
first Sunday cremations in the history

Disastrous Blazes.

New York. May 27.-The vast furni-
ture factory of Herman Bros, at
uankin and Tempkins Streets, was dis
covered on fire at $50 this morning. 1t
is fiYe-story brick building, and oc-
cupies a whole block. 1t was an old
building occupied by the Singer sewing
machine factory and was saturated with
oil. The building IS surrounded by
miserable tenement houses occupied by
the poorest classes in the city. The fire
was intensely hot. and nearly hun
bred families were driven from their
homes. They rushed out in their night
clothes and were compelled to camp on
the river side. where they shivered in
the chilly winds of the morning. AT A
o'clock the whole building was in
flames, and there was no hope of saving
aBY of the property, and the firemen
directed their efforts to make the mlser-
able people as comfortable as pos
sible. At 40 an alarm was sent
out for extra engines and 1T
locked as though the whole surround
ing neighborhood would be destroyed.
At 5 O'Clock, alarms were still being
sent out for extra engines. The factory
was filed with furniture and 1t is estl-
mated the loss will amount to more
than 81, 100000. This is the busy season
of the year and the loss will be still
heavier for the company. Over three
hundred men will be thrown out OF
work. The streets at $50 were crowded
with people and the greatest excitement
prevailed in the neighborhood, as every
body in the surrounding tenement |
houses were moving furniture and seek
ing to escape from the flames which |
were spreading fast in all direction. |
AT $50 O'Clock, special calls for extra
engines were being sent out and it is
that the loss would amount
to 81, 5O0, 600
Though the entire available force of
the fire department was summoned, it |
was two hours before the flames were
fairly under control. The factory is
total loss Mr.. Herman estimates his
oss at about $3.50. 900, covered by insur-
lnce. Five hundred skilled workmen
we're employed in the factory and lose
Ill their tools, the aggregate value OF
which is about $20,090. The surround
ng buildings we're damaged to the ex-
ent of S25,0OO.

False Rumor.

WASHINGTON, May pa report of
general currency in San Francisco that
Mr.. Carr had been appointed collector
of customs for San Francisco is entirely
unfounded. A representative of the
Associated Press called at the White
House this morning and learned from
the highest possible authority that no
appointment to that Office had yet been
been made. Nothing could be learned
as to who the successful man would be.
