New Way to Cremate.

M. Pierre Guichard, tho well-known
municipal councillor OF Paris, has In
vented n new system of cremation.
The body is placed in an oven which
is divided into two compartments, the
first for the hearth where the cOmbus-
tibles burn. whilst in the second the
remains are placed. The body is not
really burnt. The organic matters of
the body are distilled, gases are form
ed and the corpse is melted. These
gases are the real causes OF the incin-
GRAFTON OF the body. 1t is claimed for
this system that it economies two
thirds OF the time required for the in
cineration OF the corpse, and it is not
necessary TO prepare the oven before
hand.
The crematory appa ratus is a ceno-
taph placed upon a small pedestal. In
front il the body, whilst behind Is n
chimney for the escape OF gases. In
the compartments OF the cenotaph
there are dozen blow pipes, through
which flames of very combustible gas
composed OF compressed air and
curburetted hydrogen are forced.

may have the most absolute faith
that a friend has not committed the
crime for which he is accused. In tn 9
early days OF English history. If my
friend could have obtained a few more
compurgators OF like robust faith, he
would have been acquitted. At the
present day, If rendered myself as a
witness on that score, the judge would
tell me to stand down, and the young
est barrister would smile at my SIM
pltcity. Miserable indeed is the man
who has not such faith In his fellow
men-only less miserable than the man
who allows himself to forget that such
faith is not, strictly speaking, evidence;
and when his faith is disappointed, as
will happen now and again, turns
Timon and blames the universe for his
own blunders. And 80, II man can
find friend, the hypostasis of all his
hopes, the mirror Of his ethical ideal,
in the Jesus OF any, or all, OF the Cos
pels, let him live by faith in that ideal.
Who can or shall forbid him? But let
him not delude himself with the notion
that his faith is evidence Of the object
ed reality of that in which he trusts.
Such evidence is to be obtained only
by the use Of the methods OF science,
as applied to history and to literature,
and it amounts at present to very little.

A reporter of the Constitution having
learned that Mr.. L. M. Frey had received
the cash 5000 on ticket No 1854, which
he held in the Louisiana State Lottery,
and of which he made mention at the time
Of tho drawing called on Mr.. Frey for con-
armstion Of the report. Mr.. Frey cheer
fully did 80, and added that the ticket was
collected BY tho First National Bank OF
this city for him without exchange. We
have often wondered II the reports OF tho
character OF men who have hitherto drawn
prizes In the Louisiana State Lottery were
as claimed, these prizes always appearing
by the newspaper reports TO fall into the
hands OF honest, hard working and deserv-
ing men. II they are to be Judged by MIR.
Frey they have all certainly deserved the
prizes, for there is no more Industrious,
enterprising and deserving man in
Weatherford than l. M. Frey, the jeweler.
Mr. Frey has only been in Weatherford o
short time, but by strict attention to bust
ness, honest work and iudicious advertis
ing In the Constitution and other home pa.
pers, he has built up the largest trade OF
any ieweler in the city. MIR. Frey can be
depended upon to make good use OF his
money, and it certainly came to HIM at Just
the right time-for the coal boom having

Yale's Negro Class Son.

It is a custom at Yale University to
present the class cup at the triennial
reunion to the first son Of the class.
Charles Way, Of this city, became the
father OF what was supposed to be the
son for the class of 1886. Word has
been received In Duluth from New
Zealand to the effect that Robert B.
Williams was married in Melbourne
some years ago, and is the father OF q
boy several months the senior Of young
Way. What makes the case more in
teresting is that Williams Is colored
man and the only one OF his class, and
married a charming young English
lady with whom he fell in love on the
steamer en- route from London to Aus
tralia. Williams has just entered the
