SOME public spirited women in win
ter resort in Florida have formed them
selves into q society which they call the
Village Improvement association, and
have assumed the duty of keeping the
streets clean. They employ man to
pick up every scrap of refuse which
litters the pavement or gutter, and as
this factotum is practically III the en-
ploy and under the authority of every
woman in town whose vigilance is I'M
ceasing, his work. explains the Atlanta
Constitution, is thoroughly and eff
GENTLY accomplished. At intervals
along the pavement they have caused to
be placed neatly painted barrels, with a
bit of verse begging the passer-by to util-
ize them by tossing into them the bit of
paper, cigar stump, or fruit skin which
would otherwise be thown down I'M
tidily. They have also organized the
children into society pledged not to
throw any kind of litter into the public
ways. That town is a model of utopian
cleanliness, and suggests the idea that
"city mothers" instead of fathers might
be successful.

A STRANGE REQUEST.
or. Heuser's GhAstly Directions for this
Disposal of His Remains.

ksr. Heuser's GhAstly Directions for the
Disposal OF His Remains.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 25.-The body of DR..
Charles F. Heuser, who died at 214 South
Sharp street, was cremated at Loudon
Park. He was a we'll known physician
and apothecary. The circumst ances
connected with his CHASTITY directions
for the disposal of his remains make his
story and that of his family very re-
markable one.
Dr. Heuser left will in which he re-
ouested that his heart be taken from his
body in the presence of witnesses on the
day of his death, and that his remains
be afterwards cremated, the ashes to be
distributed among his friends.
The strange clause concerning the
heart of the dead physician caused some
what of sensation, but his friends re-
solved to carry out his wishes as nearly
as possible. A number of physicians
and surgeons declined to mutilate the
corpse of their dead friend, but yester-
day DIR. Bernard 7. Meyer, in the pres
ence of a few friends removed the heart
from the body. Then replacing it, the
remains were made ready for cremation.
The ashes will be disposed of as directed
in the will.
A circumstance that lends additional
interest to the singular ceremony is the
I fact that DR.. Heuser, after his wife's
death some years ago, drove a knife into
her heart to protect her from the posi-
bility of being immured alive. He has
frequently told sthe story of this affair
himself and said it was the most terrible
duty he ever had to perform to thrust
the cold steel into the bosom of the
woman he loved as she laid on the bieI
before him, yet he could not think of let.
ting her run the awful risk of coming
back to life in her grave.
Another singular circumstance is that
many members of DR.. Heuser's family
have had their hearts pierced or their
veins and arteries cut after death. The
| fear of premature burial seems to have
pervaded the whole family and led to the
utmost precautions being taken to en-
sure escape from such q fate. None Of
them, however. except the doctor, ave
! been cremated.

THE late General Terry was one of the
few civilian commanders who won the
respect and admiration of the West
Pointers. That is to say, his soldierly
qualities were so pronounced and etfec-
tive that his lack of military education
was never spoken of to his disparage-
ment.

PRINCE ZARsHARsKY, a TsherkeSsian
prince, who lives in Sofia near Constan-
tinople, has been arrested by the Russian
consulate police, with the consent of
Turkey, as being concerned in the plot
to send the car into the air by dynamite
on October II, 1888. The imperial train
escaped by miracl. The Russians have
been tracking all the parties in the plot,
slowly but surely, ever since, and now
this prince is on his way to Odessa, and
probably, eventually, Siberia. While
being conveyed on board of the Russian
frigate, the prince and secretary slew
the commander of the boat, bribed the
guard and rushed for an English frigate
which took them on board. But the
English Ambassador caused their deliv-
cry to Russia, next day.
LORD SALIsBURY's bigotry cropped out
| in his address at Cambridge, Thursday.
From beginning to end the speech is a
tlippant, sneering insult to the Irish
people. OF the home rule contest, the
minister speaks as having "evolved a
Denny brook fair" and then he adds that
"whatever happens i'll Ireland runs to
hlackthorn.' This shows that Irishmen
are quite incapable of conducting an
independent parliament" Then he sa-
TRIES the "unlim;ted power of the
priesthood" as ruthless organization
beneath whose heel you would place
Protestants 10y granting home rule. "
Salisbury makes great hlunder in en-
leavoring to resurrect the luminosity of
other days. and to stake the fate of his
ing enlightenment upon the narrow and
obsolete issues of bigotry, prescription
and racial misconccption.

and to discourage litigation. In fact,
as the name of the court implies, it is
the bounden duty of the commission
ers to be peacemakers and encourage
a settlement.
Many suits at law originate in
trifling or imaginary wrongs, which
from pride or irritation are often
made the subject of long and costly
litigation, and of which the Iowa cali
case, lately SO notorious, is an exag
gerated but not uncommon instance.
These courts of Cancellation are in
tended to diminish this sort of claw
ing" BY trying to settle the case in
its early stages they are evidently
founded upon the preventive rather
than the remedial school of medicine
The contestants meet without lawyers
to exaggerate their own clients case
and aggravate the temper of the OPP
posite side. The issue is not obscured
by legal jargon, but each party states
his case in his own language just as
he would to a lawyer whom he had
retained. The judges then try to re-
duce the differences between the two
parties to their true proportions and
make it plain that the affair can be
Immediately adjusted, thus saving a
large sum in court and lawyers fees.
Most men generally are willing to
listen 10 this sort of talk delivered to
them in privacy and without excite
ment aroused by the eloquence Of
their lawyers and the presence of a
gaping crowd.
The result is that three-fourths OF
the cases are adjusted in these courts
of Cancellation and do not 60 up to
the higher courts. The system es-
tablished nearly 100 years ago by a
royal edict, became at once popular.
1t was bitterly opposed by the shysters
and pettifoggers ofthe legal profession,
but the courts of Cancellation starved
out this kind of lawyers and the OPP
position Of the bar ceased. 1t is now
regarded as one of the cornerstones,
if not the chief cornerstone, of justice,
and an attempt to abolish it would
provoke a revolution.
The subject, which is of great inter-
est to courts, lawyers and laity, is
more fully set forth in an article by
Nicolay Grevstad in the Atlantic
Monthly for Observation-Disclosures
journal.
