CREMATION in BALTIMORE.
The New Furnace There Tried for tn,
First Time.


The London park crematory at Baltimore
had its first incarceration yesterday. Prepare
tons begun early in the morning, and by 10
o'clock the heas in the furnace had reached
1000 degrees. At noon the doors of the mauso-
leum were opened and the casket containing
the remains of Mrs. Gertrude E. Hartmann and
her child, Gertrude, VINO died three weeks after
birth, was lifted out, placed on the shoulders Of
two stalwart workingmen and carried to the re-
tort room Of the crematorium. The casket was
made Of highly-polished wood. cradle Of
chilled steel, feet in length, 8 feet wide and
semi-circular in form, was the receptacle in
which the bodies were placed. A long piece of
muslin was spread over the bottom Of the
cradle and then saturated with alum water.
The remains were placed on this and COW
cred from view with another piece of muslin
BY this time the heat was at $500 degrees
The cradle was placed within two feet Of the
doors, when the bolts were loosened and the
great doors swong open. A blast Of hot air
shot out that would have been death to the
person who came in close contact with it. The
cradle was hurriedly pushed in, the doors
quickly bolted and the work Of cremation had
begun. A slight odor Of alum was perceptible;
but this was soon obliterated by the strong
draft from the ventilators. A sound every now
and then, like the cracking OF wood, could be
heard from the oven. As soon the oven
doors had been closed the visitors came into
the retort room. Each took look at the inside
OF the furnace through glass bulls eye made
for the purpose, and after every ones curiosity
had been satisfied the little crowd filed out Of
the crematorium and were soon out OF the
cemetery. Ten minutes after the body had
been In the oven the thermometer marked 8 900
degrees. and in exactly thirty minutes all that
remained OF the mother and child was a small
quantity OF pearly ashes, weighing something
fvVn xas,, h.
ashes was left in the oven over night.
Mr.. c. s. Baldwin, who superintended the in
cineration, cremated over 500 bodies during the
past four years. He said: 1.-The largest crema-
forum is at Lancaster, Pa, where 20s bodies
have been inclnerated since its construction
Most Of these people lived in the vicinity Of Lam
caster, but u number OF bodies have been
brought there from Pittsburg and several from
Baltimore. The last body brought there was
from Baltimore Crematories are being con-
structed throughout the country. and my be-
lief is that the custom will become general
during the next ten years."

In conclusion, the public should bear
I'm mind this one significant fact: THE
STAR does not rely upon empty boasts
to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA-
TON Is SWORN TO; its PRESS
ROOM Is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC;
and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED
by any one having an interest in their
examination. These are CRUCIAL
TESTS, which few papers invite, and
which those that boast most are lease
able to stand.

The State Booming in Enterprise.

The record of new enterprises II
South Carolina was varied on Satur
day by the announcement of the or
ganization in Charleston of a compa
ny, with $4,000 capital, to manufac.
ture envelopes, pasteboard boxes
paper bags, etc,
Another new enterprise of most
interesting nature was reported yes.
terday. A glass factory will soon be
established at Aiken Junction by an
Augusta Company, and though oul
next door neighbors fairly deserve
the credit for founding this new in
dustry on South Carolina soil, OF
sand, it is pleasant to know that it
will be located on this side of the
river because of the conceded superi-
ority OF our native "grit." Thus two
novel and promising industries were
added to the list of our more familiar
manufactures on one day last week,
and the attractive hotel on Paris
Mountain was completed the same
day. Cotton seed oil mills and cot
ton factories are going up in every
part of the State, as rapidly as bricks
can be laid Altogether, the State
presents bright and busy appear
ance for midsummer, and the pros
pect brightens beyond!-Neacs and

THE COTTON BAGGING WAR.

The farmers of the South are still
on the top side in the jute rs's"s cot
ton bagging war, and cotton baggine
will be very largely used throughout
the South, even though the jute trust
should offer it at greatly reduced
prices. We sincerely hope the South
will find that cotton bagging is 8
practicable covering for cotton, and
chat we can at least in this one in.
stance show that a trust is not om-
nipotent. IF We can succeed in this
it will be a great blow to the entire
trust fraternity. The sugar trust, TO,
instance, is robbing the South ot
thousands of dollars, and that, too
in q product of our own soil. Shall
this state of affairs be allowed to con-
tinue? The Neps and Courier, of Ju-
ly 9th, has the following to say on
this interesting subject:
Several days ago the Ne,cs and
~Goe;'s:ses Published statement from
the Hon. L. P. Livingstone, president
of the Georgia Farmers Alliance,
that there has been no weakening in
Georgia, or any other cotton State, on
the cotton bagging question We
are assured to-day by Gen. E. T.
Ssaekhouse, president of the South
Carolina Farmers Alliance, that the
orders for cotton bagging will con-
tinue to 60 forward, till they go &C,

Town Council Reports.

The charter of this town should
have clause requiring that an item
lied statement Of all expenditures be
published each month. The law COM
pels the county commissioners to
make such a showing and similar
provision should be made to apply to
all officers who have discretionary
powers in disposins of public funds.
1t is only by such precautions that
economy in the administration OF
these offices can be assured. But,
apart from this, the people have a
right to know just what portion OF
