GRANTS BURIALPLACE.

There is a general feeling of diSappoint-
ment all over the country that Gen. GRANT
is to he buried in Central park, and there
is vet lingering hope that there may be a
reconsideration of the matter, and final
determination by the family that he shall
be laid to rest at the national capitol. Ii is
said that Mrs. GRANT expressed a prefer
ence that her husband should be buried at
Washington, but was overruled in her judg-
ment by Col. FRED GRANT. 1t is unfor-
tunate that the viii OF the family is not in
accord with the public desire. Gen.
GRANTS fame and history are part Of
people of this country, and for that reason
the people desire to have him buried in
their capital city. The suggestion
of Adjt. Gen. Drum that he
should be buried in the national cemetery
at Arlington was good one. Here he
would have rested on the classic banks of
the Potomac within a short distance of the
tomb of WASHINGTON. 1t would, however,
have been equally appropriate to have bur
led him at the Soldiers home, where veter-
ans of the army could constantly stand
guard over his grave. But whatever par
ticular spot may finally be selected
whether Arlington, the Soldiers home or
the White house grounds-WashingtO
should be the place of burial. 1t is the ma
toms city and the people should have it as
the place wherein to bury their illustrious
dead. There is no special reason why Gen.
GRANT should be buried in Central park
1t is nothing but big geological garden.
and for that reason is inappropriate as a
burying ground. If New York is to be the
city honored with his tomb, why not
bury him at Riverside as Mayor GRACE
suggested? 1t is unfortunate that this mat
ter has 10 be discussed at this time. but
Col. FRED GRANT should be informed that
the people of this country have a wish in
regard TO this matter, and he ought to re-
spect it. 1t is a duty he owes to the mem
DRY of his illustrious father.

TRADECONDITIONS.

bBADSrREET's weekly reports Indicate a
slight improvement in trade conditions, but
that estimable journal seems inclined to get
on the bear side and TO see the business out
look in its funeral aspect Whatever may
be the trade conditions at the sources whence
it derives its inspiration in the great North
west, where the wheat crop promises the
largest yield for years on the basis of acre
age, the indications are that we are enter
ing upon new era of prosperity. Our
wholesalers all admit the proposition
that our business has settled down upon
substantial basis of cash. and that the fu-
ture of trade was never more promising
than at present. There is an i'm
mense crop in sight and an album
dance OF money in bank with which
TO move it. Our trade has been
reduced TO bedrock basis of cash. as is
amply testified to by our jobbers who join
In self-cOngratulatiOn over the general
prospect of unusual prosperity. The de-
preston of the past two years has taught
wholesalers. retailers and consumers alike
the lesson that must be learned by all who
would prosper regardless of production,
over or under the maximum limit. While
dealers in the luXuries and the necesSarieS
OF life have learned not to oyerStock them
selves, the consumers have been taught in
the practical school of experience not to in
vest III any of these over and
above their means, trusting TO the
flush times of the future to take
them though an era of depressed values.
The farmers Of the Northwest who bought
surplus OF agricultural implements at
values which ruled when wheat was worth
81 per bushel and paid 10 per cent. interest
on their notes for two or three years will be
able TO meet the principal on the years
crop. And the experience that they have
passed through has taught them that their
past policy is no safe guide for the future
On the contrary they have learned that il is
most unwise, and in the future they will
deal on a cash basis, the real foundation of
a safe business in any line of production.
In this connection it may not be out of
place to say 4 few words i'm regard
to the projected jobbers' excursion to
the immense trade territory tribu-
tary to st. Paul on the west
BY making this trip the jobbers viii enjoy
an opportunity of meeting their customers
face TO face and of studying their resources,
so the burden of the creditor will be very
materially relieved when a customer comes
in from the West and asks sixty or ninety
days on a bill of goods on which he pays
large per cent. in cash, and it will save
the customer from the embarrassment of a
cross-eXamination as to his credit and per-
haps save the customers trade 10 the dealer
The fact is, the Jobbers' union made the
best movement of its organized existence
when it resolved upon taking series OF ex-
cursions into tributary trade territory

JUDGE HoLMAN,s TALK.

IN an interesting talk with the GLOBE
this morning, Judge HOLMAN of Indiana,
who is chairman of the committee ap-
pointed by The house of representatives to
investigate Indian affairs, gives some prac-
teal and original suggestions relating to
the disposition the government should
make of the Indians. Judge HOLMAN is
one of the most practical men i'm public
life and his suggestions are worthy of care
full consideration. There is no reason why
the Indians should not all be brought to-
gether into one territory. If it is possible
TO clvilize them it can be done n great deal
better by having them together than TO have
them scattered all over the West. 1t is
better for the Indians TO be brought into
one community. They can the better pro-
tect themselves from the rascally dealings of
government agents and the impositions
of spectators and land grabbers by being
thrown into one commonwealth where they
can consolidate and organize their interests.
Such plan would be much better and GER
tainly less expensive for the government.
According to Judge HoLMAN's figuring, it
is a very costly thing for the government to
provide for their maintenance under the
present system.
Judge HoLMAN's suggestions with refer
ence TO the Yellowstone park are as practical
as what he suggests relative 20 the manage

OF any act of partisan injustice being done by
the next congress. If all the conditions are
favorable, and we think they will be, Da-
kota will be admitted as state.

GRANTS RELIGIOUS VIEWS.

The Chicago Tribune publishes a state
ment made by the Rev. DIR. NEWMAN con-
corning Gen. GRANTS religious views and
life, which are interesting at this time. DIR.
NEWMAN was pastor of the Metropolitan
church in Washington during the time that
Gen. GIANT was president, and was on in
innate personal relations with the GRANT
family. According TO DR.. NEwMAN's
statement Gen. GRANTS whole life was
moulded upon religious principles. His re-
Hgi0n combined childlike trustfulness with
the intellectual vigOr of manhOod's cOnvic-
ton. Sometimes when the heaviest trials
beset him he is quoted as saying. ''Oh if L
could only have the faith that my sister, Mrs
CRAMER. has Her trusting nature would
meet this trouble and see a bright outcome
20 il better than | cam" His admiration
was equally strong for the faith of Mrs.
NEWMAN. the wife of his friend and pas
tor. Her wOmanly sympathy was always
cheering to him. During the last two or
three wears when reyerses and harassments
met him on every side it is said
that her words were to him the cheer
OF hope which led him through the darkness
to see The promise of better days ahead.
Gen. GRANTS father was a class leader in
the Methodist Episcopal church. and the
son was reared at a reyerential hearthstone.
DIR. NEWMAN says the fathers house was
the home OF Methodist preachers for over
forty years. The generals earliest recol-
ilections were associated with the clergy

STREET TEMPTATIONS.

There are parents who were shocked by
the recent revelation of vices in London,
and yet who are unconscious OF the fact
that they are permitting their own children
to be exposed TO the same temptations that
brought the youth of London to ruin. In
every city in this country it is usual to
find the streets crowded in the evening with
young people, boys and girls. who are tread
ing dangerous paths. Any evening YOU
will find boys at the corners or louuging
by the doors of saloons listening to the
Tibald talk of those inside. These bows are
in the nursery of crime. The ranks of
criminals are being constantly recruited
from this class. They grow with marvellous
rapidity. Girls in their teens are also
found on the streets. You see them going
up and down or lettering on the corners by
twos and threes, girls of respectable parent
age, who perhaps have their mothers con-
sent TO walk out awhile, not knowing that
frequently by their actions these young
daughters are encouraging the familiar
attentions of those scavengers of the devil.

been the forerunner of moral degradatio on.

mothers heart broken, aud a fathers head

wish to save their children they must make
their homes happy for the boys and girls
within them, and thus keep them out of the
street. The children must have amuse-
mentS even though they may seem contrary
to the accepted notions of orthodoxy. Ii
the BOYS want to play billiards or cards let
them play at home. If the girls want to
dance it is better for them 10 dance at home

lurk. Parents should beware how they
make their homes places of restrictions.
and, above everything else, parents should
be companions for their children. A father
has failed to comprehend his duty who fails
to join his children in a romp. The mother
should take her daughter in her confidence
and bear the relation of sister 10 her even
more than mother. And when parents
teach children their danger and throw about
them every guard that the heart dictates
the world will be free from the vices which
curse society to-day.

About three years ago Mrs. Maria Davis,

the toes, and worked back, affecting half
the foot. Physicians pronounced the case
incurable, and Mrs. Davis was removed to
the home of her sister, Mrs. James A. Fan

One of the scientific papers, discussing
the reasons why gun-barel bursts when
fired with the muzzle under water, and the
danger of wadding a gun with wet grass,
relates a singular accident with Colts
navy revolver, which was sent to the fac
tory with the barrel burst. This was be-
fore the adoption of these pistols to the
metallic cartridges and it is probable that
in loading with open powder and ball only
small amount of powder got into the
chambers, and the bullet was not propelled
with sufficient force to drive it from the
muzzle; at least the bullet did not go on t.
but lodged. AS the shooter did not know
whether the bullet escaped or not, he kept
on firing until the barrel burst or bulged,
and when it was sawed in two longitudin-
ally there were found fourteen bullets

DRINKS FOR THE VOICE.
Aerated Waters, Tea. Coffee, Coco
and MILK Discussed.


and MILK Discussed.
Amelia Lewis in Music and Drama.
Tea, coffee and cocoa are three admissible
drinks, but none in excess. For the voice
cocoa is the most beneficial 1t should
never be made too strong, and those cocoaS
are the best that have been deprived Of
t heir oil. \ cup of thin cocoa Just warm.
! is more to be recommended between the
eXertionS of singing than any alcoholic
! beverage. Tea must not be taken too
strong nor when it has drawn too long. for
tea then becomes acrid and has a bad in
| tuence on the mucous membrane that lines
the throat. There is always dry sensa-
ton after having taken a cup of tea that
has been allowed to draw too long. A vo-
calist had better Go without sugar in tea
and only take milk with it, or, if an exhil-
arating drink is needed, mix some ciaret
with the tea, putting in slice of lemon and
some honey.
Coffee shouldnev be taken too strong
and not too often. Two cups a day is all
| that can be allowed; without sugar is best.
Very strong coffee heats and makes the
/ voice husky. In fact, no drink should be
| taken too hot or too strong; the voice wants
an equable, mild temperature, that will
! keep up constant moisture and fleXibility in
the vocal organs.
IneSe are OF all classes and are now I'M
| iverSally taken, but L am sorry to say that
! the chemical ingredients of the syrIlDs used
| with them are often very Injurious to the
| voice. Soda water is refreshing when pure.
! but when mixed with all kinds of aromatic
substances actually dries the throat instead
of moistening it. Ginger aleS, elders and
such manufactured drinks are only service
| able to the vocalist when of the very best
manufacture, otherwise they are heating
and drying instead of cooling So few
! fruit SyrupS are now made of fruit that it
/ sdit1icult to know where to find them. and
the artificial syrups are really dangerous to
the voice.
Water is to be recommended, when pure.
but not too much ice-water. In any case,
it must be filtered water, and never too
cold; a spoonful of pure syrup or honey
in glass of cold water is better than @rated
drinks. Water in excess is also injurious
TO the voice. Milk in excess is also iniuri-
Gus, while glass of fresh milk in the morn
ing is most hel pful to the voice; it not only
SoftenS it, but nourisheS and purifes the
blood.
The final resume is, do without all alco-
hOlic drinks, if possible; take only the best
III great moderation; exclude beer if pos
sible; rather mOisten the throat with small
quantities than drown it with large; avoid
too much strength, heat or sugar in bever-
ages like tea and coffee; also artificial sy-
rupS; use water and milk reasonably and
never allow yourself to be very thirsty.

Alphonse Mousset went to the Civic hOspi-

who was there answered that it was new
patient. AS soon as the door was opened
by a nun he rushed into the hospital and up
stairs into the women's ward. There he
knelt by the bedside of his dying wife and
implOred her before leaving him forever to
sign some sort of contract by which after
her death he should be recognized as the
sole possessor of some $500 she owned in
the bank shares. The gardener was called
in, and by his aid Mousset was very quickly
shown outside the door. The woman died
to-day. The couple had been married only
