The Philadelphia Inquirer thinks that
John Roach has abundantly proved that
whatever faults the Dolphin may have, he
is not afraid to go to sea in her.
There is no reason why he should be
afraid to start to sea in her." She has
proved thus far that she will not go out of
sight of land and other vessels. Like
Roach himself, the Dolphin always starts
off at a rafting rate, but does not keep
il up more than an hour or so at a time.
Three trials have recently been made of
this vessel, and every time II came to a sud
den stop, and came slowly back TO port
after drifting around for five OF six hours
in a helpless condition.
Nobody need be afraid to go to sea in
her. The danger is that her passengers
will never get TO see the sea with her.

In recent meeting of the medical faculty
of Maryland DIR. Rohe read a paper on what
he called "The Non-necessity of any Radical
Change in the Present System of Disposal
of the Dead" He disputed nearly all that
has been cited by the cremationists against
burial and maintained that ''wells near
cemeteries, as rule, furnish water as pure
as that from places inhabited by living
human beings, and where the soil Is more or
less polluted" AS TO the relative cost of the
different systems he stated that the "cost of
the services within the crematories of Lam
caster and Brooklyn will be fully as great as
firstclass funeral within the gates of Green
mount or other Baltimore cemeteries" He
does not seem to have made much impress
sion upon his medica! brethren, however, az
| his address was disposed Of by the quiet
| remark OF one of the members oi
| the society that after tho reiutation o
DR.. Rohe's arguments at the Meeting of the
| Public Health association in St Louis, he
| did not expect to hear from him again
