at His ChargeG.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, March 25.-
Jacob Dold & Son have given the
press long statement in reply to the
charge made against Kansas City
packers by VIM. G.. Bartle, of St.
LOUIS, before the House Com
mittee on Agriculture yesterday.
They refute the charges as
base and slanderous falsehoods and
affirm that the manufacture
of lard and the packing of meats is
conducted in most scrupulous and
cleanly manner by all of the Kansas
City packers, and that the methods
and practices testified to by Bartle are
absolutely impossible. They will bring
suit against him for $50, 900 damages,
based on the possibility of their busi-
ness being injured by the statement

A DIFFICULT TASK.
An Artist Tries TO Paint q Dead
Mama Portrait.

An Artist Tries TO Fa1nt q Dead
Mans Portrait.
There is no more pathetic figure in
America than what Hans Breitman
called "the poor, hard-working Ger
man." If such q thing be possible
he is honest to q fault, and suspicion
finds no place inhis frank nature. Be
reavement came to such one lately
in the death of his father. Family
ties are strong among the Teutons,
and his sorrow weighed heavily upon
him. As a mark of filial respect he
determined to have q portrait Of his
father, and, turning to the directory,
not for consolation, but for informa-
ton, he sought the name Of q portrait
painter, just as man with house
full of frozen water-p pipes would wear-
lily turn to it for the name and Cd
dress Of the nearest plumber. Hav-'
ing found what he wanted, he sought
out the artist and asked if he could
paint portrait of his father. Ger
tainly ," said the artist, '.why didn't
you bring the old gentleman along ~
'sHe vas deat," eobbed the caller.
The artist was touched, and expressed
his regret at having opened tho
wound. "But," he said, cheerily,
"that need not prevent you hav-
ing his portrait. Bring me his
photograph" /" "There vas none" said
the son, wiping his eyes. Then how
can you expect me to paint his por :
trait?" "Why can you mot hin pic
ture paint9 You are portrait painter.
Shust you paint him." The artist saw
the humor Of the thing and told the
bereaved son to call again in two
weeks. He did. "VelI, you have
him gepainted r. "Yes,n said NJ
artist, 81 have done the hast 1 ooQ1l.
Here it is" The German looked t1

ported cement, which is but the dust
Of stone or clay, from which all
vegetable or mineral matter has
been eliminated, embodying princi-
pies advocated by the society for the
advancement of science, is now be-
ing manufactured into Baskets.
The mode Of manufacture is as
follows: A galvanized woven-w wire
frame IS formed over core, and the
composition cement is then run into
the mold, leaving the wire in the
center Of the walls, which gives the
strength and symmetry, without the
unwieldiness Of the ancient Egypt
ian receptacle.
A groove is cast in the upper edge
or body Of the casket, for the seal
my Of the top to it with cement, or
the introduction of a rubber tube,
making it absolutely jointless, air
light and Iudestructible, and arrest
ing the decomposition of the body
and the escape OF uoxious gases,
making possible their storage, disin-
terneuJ or transhipment TO any part
of the world.
The material being porous, absorbs
the fluids of the body, leaving it dry
and intact, while the exterior can be
made impervious TO moisture from
the ground by the application of a
waterproof wash. They are strong,
lIgnt, beautiful in design, and CON
stltute, within themselves, miniature
vaults, and are finished in broad
cloth, plush and satins, all of the
latest designs, and are furnished at
a price which brings them within
the reach of the rich and poor alike.
All trimmings and handles are adj
justed the same as on wood collins.
The universal adoption of these
caskets should be encouraged and
looked upon with favor by the pull
pit, the press, and all classes, for in
preserving and arresting the decom
position of the body they answer all
the sanitary requirements, besides
appealing to the most refined ideas
regarding our own or the final rest
ing place Of our loved ones, in that
they bring within the reach of all
classes a miniature, portable and i'm
perishabIe "yault" and burial casket
combined, that will guard their sa-
cred dust for all time.

SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW.
DIR PRESENT AND FUTURE HOMES.

The many beautiful BONES scat
tered over our country are evidences
OF q very high order of refinement,
and no peoI lie have made more gen
erous provisions for the comfort and
happiness of the living than the
American While in advance of the
rest of the world in scientific re-
search and everything pertaining to
the interest OF the living, yet we are
very far behind other nations, and
especially the ancients, III cur meth.
DDS or manner Of disposing of the
human body after death.
These facts have awakened much
interest of late. Scientific societies,
"the press" as well as the public,
are at present actively considering
the means best adapted for the dis
posal Of our mortal remains. We
insuuctively shrink with horror from
the thought of having those sacred
remains placed in the grave III com
mon wood or iron receptacles, which
so soon decay, there to be preyed
upon by loathsome objects which
infest it. Some advocate return
to the ancient practice of cremation,
but this to the Christian world
seems revolving.
Many eminent prelates, scientists
and others, at meeting lately held
in the city of Buffalo, advocated the
entombing of our dead in imperish-
able cement. The plan proposed by
these gentlemen has already been
adopted, and a casket embodying
these principles is now being manu-
featured in this city.
The preserved bodies of the an.
clients, taken from the catacombs of
the buried cities, are now exhibited,
and are evidences of the care, skill
and reverence felt for their dead.
Money is freely lavished on costly
funerals, and profusely decorated
bur tlimsy wood or iron burial cases,
which arc covered with costly satins,
yeiyets or plush, ornamented with
silver and gold trimmings. These
are borne by loving friends to the
cemetery, where they are placed in
marble vaults or lowered in the
ground beneath costly monuments. !
All, in fact, is done which love and |
soIcitude could suggest. These
things, when regarded from a Chris
tiau or sanitary standpoint, have Gre
ated q demand for the substitution
of something better than the com
mon wood or iron burial cases, some
thing which is not susceptible to de-
cay from either the acids Of decom-
position or the alkali of the earth; /
something, in fact, which will pre-
serve the remains of our loved ones
from those influences, and admit of
their disinterment without shocking
the seusibiliues of the living.
These thouget have awakened the
inventive genius of our people, and
prompted the production Of burial
Baskets made of metal and other
substances; but they are found to
bp yery defective, in that they 50
soon corrode and decay, and retain
the finds which constitute go to 70 F
r,r cent of the human body, per
hitting their escape TO pollute the
atmosphere, or to hold them until /
