FUNERAL EXPENSES.
A Clerical Society for the Promotion
Burial Reform.

Clerical Society for the Promotion of
Burial Reform.
The Episcopal clergymen of New
York, under the advice of Bishop Pot
ter, have organized an association for
the promotion of burial reform. The
first purpose is to do away with the ex-
travagance of funeral expenditures.
Most burials are unnecessarily expen-
sive, by reason of costly burial caskets,
and numerous carriages and people go
to an expenditure which their means do
not justify. Besides. there are sanitary
considerations, such rs are leading to
the growth of the cremation sentiment.
One of the aims of the new association
will be to abolish the use of close
collins and metallic burial cases, and
the substitution of wicker-basket or
paper-mache coverings, so that ''dust
to DUST will have a literal and whole
some meaning.
Bishop Potter made the following re-
marks after the various points had
been discussed at the first meeting: 81
am in entire sympathy with this move
ment, and it will receive my hearty and
active cooperation. i trust the organ
ization will be SO formed as to include
representatives of all religious de-
nominations. to the end that its work
may be made as effective and far-reach-
ing as possible. 1t will be necessary 20
bear in mind that at every step the or
ganization will be fought by powerful
combinations of tradesmen, whose in
comes this movement will tend TO
diminish, and whose hostility. there
fore, may be confidently predicted. 1t
is my belief that the methods of inter-
ment at present in vogue are vicious.
and that the highest type of Christian
burial will only be attained when the
administration of cemeteries is placed
entirely in the hands OF the church :

An Alarm Clock Under The Sofa.

A mother on Madison avenue lately
requested her daughter, who is just
approaching womanhood, to give her
beau a hint that she must not sit up
later than 10 o'clock. This the girl
was reluctant to do, but her little
brother threatened that unless she did
he would open the parlor door and
announce the maternal edict. The
sister supposed that she had put a
quietus upon her brother by remind
ing him of his playing hockey and
forging his mothers name to excuse him
from school to go skating, not forget
ting to mention the little riding whip
his mama kept in her room. Ali this,
however, was not enough to keep the
youth from getting even with Sis's beau
for not giving him anything Christ
mas. The other evening he got an
alarm clock with bell as loud as the
gong on the Brooklyn bridge bob, and

tickling her ear with yarn about

the gong sounded. There was pause

the meaning, he grabbed his hat and

A GIGANTIC SCHEME.

An Angio-A merican Commercial Enter

The Glasgow tScotlsnd) Weekly of
December 2lst had an article from Ito
London correspondent containing
some statements Of q large sized en-.
terprise, q part Of which had been
b card before In the northwest. Here
is the story.
For some months past there have
been rumors floating about In regard
to an Anglo-American con mercial
scheme which, II IL attains maturity.
as I hear 1t is likely to do scon, will
prove one Of the most gigantic enter
prlses ofmodern times. 1t Is said that
several American millionAires are in
terested In the scheme, while on this
side OF the Atlantic the names Of the
Rothschllds. the Duke Of Devonshire,
the Duke Of Westminlster, and other
wealthy men are associated with iG
II IL very difficult to CLEAN any detailed
information Of the scheme. a. the pro-
moters are very reticent. I under
stand. however, that they intend to
erect granaries, stores, pork curing es-
tablishments, and cheese aud butter
factories on sites convenient to the
line OF the Minnesota Northwestern
railway, which was formerly the Chi
cago. Kansas City a 50. Paul line.
All kinds Of American produce, such
as -four, fruit, bacon. cheese and but
ter, as well ~ live cattle. are to DO
run along this line to Chicago, thence
by the Baltimore & OHIO railway to
New York. A bridge is to be built
connecting the mainland with Staten
Island, where large docks will bs
constructed. From this port the pro-
ducts OF the United States will be
carried by steamers specially con.
structed Tor the company aud landed
at Barrow.in-Furoess, OF which the
Duke OF Devonshire Ia the principal
proprietor, besides being president Of
TIE Furness railway. At Barrow the
company propose building alongside
the docks absttoirs. for slaughtering
the cattle Immediately after landing.
tsnneries for preparing the hides and
factories for making margarine out Of
the tallow. Large warehouses are
also TO be erected at Barrow, and
thence the food products will bs
