In many respects nothing can be
more anti-Christian than a Christian
funeral, says the New York Tribune.
Around the house of mourning there
Immediately gathers an atmosphere of
hopeless gloom that Is distinctly pagan.
The tone of the condolences, the en-
blems of woe, the needless display and
ostentation, and the bustling activity of
the undertaker-all are opposed alike 10
the spirit of Christianity and the canons
of good taste. The undertaken, who, as
rule, means we'll, is often the worst
offender. Every one has some
story to tell of his gauch-
cries. | recall attending a funeral
some time ago, at which the under
taker made his little speech with refer
ence to viewing the "remains." He
concluded thus: I'm behalf of the
friends OF the family wish to thank
those who have so kindly helped to
make this sad event Il success, and am
sure that If the remains were alive he
would heartily join In this expression
OF gratitude" And ] once heard an
other undertaken say that a CERTAIN
funeral he had conducted was small,
being attended by only ten persons, in
GLIDING the remains" The clergy
are rarely guilty OF such improprieties,
except in the way OF unwise eulogies
But | was once present at funeral
when the clergyman offended good taste
by beginning his remarks: "Ihose OF
you who know the corpse" etc.

street Railway Enterprises.

Yesterday morning St. A. b. Balcombe, OF
the board of public works. was notified that
the street railway company had jumped from
Cassius street, one mile north to Commercial
street, and were laying track with view to
reaching Fort Omaha. The motor railway
company had already reached that point, and
had an application in to extend their line.
The street railway company's movement
was supposed to have been made to head of
their rival. Mr. Balcombe at once pro-
ceeded to Commercial street. and found that
while their rails were there, no effort had
been made by the street railway company to
put them down.
DR.. Mercer, of the motor stated later that
some of the citizens of South Omaha do not
seem to understand why the motor tracks
are not being run with more rapiditv in their
direction, now that right of way has been
granted.
THE fact is" said he, "that our progress
has been enioined by the consolidated COM
panies ana we cannot move before dissG-
luton of the iniunctions has been effected
One of the injunction cases is on hearing to-
day before Judges Doane and Wakeley, and
will probably be concluded tomorrow some
time We ought to get decision within a
week or twO.'
