The latest craze is to order ones cremation
urn and use 1t as an ornament till it should
happen to be wanted. All the large china
shops confess to having had several orders
lately, while silversmiths have been equally
favored. An enthusiastic "cremationist'' of
my acquaintance has q couple of delightful
little old silver urns which ornament his
sideoosrd, and should any guest happen to ad-
mire they are told that those are for their host
ashes, which are to be divided and sent to two
old valued friends in these fascinating little
csses. Some are even made in gold, while tho
more ordinary urns, which, instead Of adorn-
ing the dining room, are for the present used
as pot-pourn jars, are Of Derby stone ware.

The chairman Of the base ball committee IL
Mr.. W. H. Lewis. who is we'll known in athletic
circles as an active worker. His energy has
been felt among the ball players Of the associa-
ton, and he expects to see the development Of
a nine that will look forward to flying the
A. A. U. pennant from the flag staff Of the
grand stand. Mr.. Lewis not only manages the
team, but also acts, if occasion requires, as SUBJ

The new grounds are situated at 18th and q
streets, within easy access of the car lines car
rettes and herdics. The space inclossd is three
and one-quarter acres (447 feet long by 321 feet
wide). A good fence surrounds the grounds
with gates sufficient to make egress easy for o
very large crowd. The grand stand and the
open stands are so placed to give fine view of
whatever may be going on anywhere within the
Enclosure, and the arrangements are such that
all may be engaged in the different lines of work
without interfering with the freedom or
pleasure of others. The diamond ia given a
place that it will not interfere with the other
games, and there will be an abundance of room
for hard hitting and good fielding Five tennis
courts will supply the lovers Of the racquet
with all the opportunities they desire and the
positions of the courts are such that tourna-
ment can be witnessed by large assemblies
without discomfort and the finish will be
before the grand stand. The one hundred
yard dash, to which SO many look forward with
eagerness. is admirably located on the north
side in front OF the bleachers. For practice
in jumping. pole vaulting and the like there Is
abundant space on the north side where there
is scarcely a possibility of interruption from
the diamond. While this space will not be
used on exhibition occasions it can be seen
from all the stands.

Being somewhat tired from her drive from

whose health had been for long time delicate,
was unable to Withstand the effect of the

taking the draught. she died.
A death SO extraordinary could not fail to
provoke widespread comment and every one in
