BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan 24-The body Of
DR.. Charles f. Heuser, who died at 2l4
South narp street, Wednesday morning,
was crem atei at London Park yesterday.
He was welI-known physician and apoth-
ecary. The circumstances connected with
tis yhasty directions for the disposal of
his Tenaias make his story and that OF
his family very remarkable one. Dr..
Heuser left will in which he requested
that his heart be taken from his body in
the presence of witnesses on the day of his
death, an 4 that his remains be afterwards
cremated, the ashes to be distributed
among his friends The strange clause

directed IN the will The strange request
OF the physical is accounted FOR by one
who knew MIN we'll from the fact that he
had entert aimed a horror of being buried
alive. He often talked on the subject. and
his fear of premature burial was increased
after a talk he had some time ago with a
Virginia physician, who said that in
number of cases he had seen corpses disin-
TERED which showed that the persons had
come to life after burial Some OF the
bodies were drawn up in the collins or lay
on their sides dreadfully contorted.

Resolved upon escaping premature
burial by having his body cremsted, he
determined to avoid the poss ibility of be

mentioned A circumstance that adds ad.

Is the fact hat DR. Heuser, after his wife's
death some years ago, drove a knife into
Der heart to protect her from the posi-
bihty of being mmured alive. He hsd
frequently told the story OF this affair
himself, and said 1t was the most terrible

cold steel into the bosom OF the woman he
loved, as she lay on the bier before him;
yet he could not think of letting her run

THE DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
1t Looks Though 1t Would Last Till
the Crack of Doom.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 24-The strug-
gle in the senate plodded its weary way
yesterday, and the only thing developed
was the fact that the Democrats will. IN
less some ruling of the chair stops them,
proceed against the cloture resolution in
the same manner that they fought the
election bill-by talking it to death if
possible. German refused to assent to a
vote being taken to-day or tomorrow.
when Aldrich proposed that plan, and
Stewart had the floor at adjournment to
speak against the bill. Cockrell had the
floor when the senate convened and he
rang the changes on Hoar's article in The
Youths Companion, calling attention to
what he insisted was their utter incon-
sistency with that senator's position now.
Hoar Draws a Parallel
Hoar, being allowed by Cockrell to say
few words, asked that, supposing four of
the nine members of the United States su-
preme court were to oppose the decision
of a case by relieving each other, and read
ing opinions indefinitely, thus-and for
that puTpose-preventing the court from
arriving at a decision, would it not be con-
sistent with the fullest freedom of dis
cussion if the court put stop TO such OBJ
structions Cockrell resumed his speech.
His principal objection, as stated, was to
the clause which prevents any amend
ment being offered, and Frye expressed a
willingness TO have that changed Teller
had heard that a coup d'etat was to be
sprung on the senate. and wanted TO know
when Aldrich disclaimed any such pur
pose, and said nothing had been done. nor
would be done, without the consent of the
senate.
German Wants a Black Line.
German said that the day would come
when the senate would unanimously or
der black line drawn around the pages

the vice president, whose reputation for
intelligence as presiding officer and for
fairness as a presiding officer he had yet to

bill had been put aside when the debate
thereon had been proceeding to the edifi-
cation of the senate and country" and in
giving list of Republican papers which
opposed the election bill, cited The Den

SMALLER FARMING.

American Farmers Attempt to Do Too
Much.
1t now seems TO be notion quite
generally prevailing among the we'll
informed agriculturists that, as rule,
American farmers are attempting to
farm on too large n scale for their
means, They have more on their hands
than they can attend to properly. One
has only to look about over the coun-
try to have himself convinced of this
fact, for, says the agricultural editor of
the Memphis Appeal-Avalanche, he
will find that the small farmer every
where is generally doing better than
the large farmer That this is true
may be easily proved by inquiring
into the relative prosperity of the
forty acre farmer and the hundred
acre farmer in your neighborhood.
Which is burdened with the least
debt in proportion to the total value of
his land? Which is procuring the best
profit upon his capital and the largest
money yield per acre? and which gets
the most satisfaction out of the bust
ness of agriculture? One grand reason
why farming doesn't pay better, as a
whole, than it has been paying, lies in
the fact that many of our farmers are
too grasping as regards land. They
are trying to work too much land, and
as a consequence, are working no land
well.
We must have new agriculture, so
to speak, and that new agriculture
must be common sense. We must
learn to work no more land than
we can work to entire perfection.
We must furthermore learn to
keep no more livestock than we
can keep well. The effort to maintain
one head more than this may destroy
the profit of all. We must learn not to
store perishable produce for rise when
we are offered fair price. Rats and
mice can soon counter balance the gain,
if it comes, and if the rats and mice do
not, then the interest may; and then
again, the rise may not come. Another
item is that stock is matured whenever
it will sell at the top of the market.
After that point is reached you may
easily make gain in weight at a loss
of profit. "Quick sales" is as good an
axiom for the farmer as for the mer-
chant. The small farmer is more apt
to make these quick sales than is the
large farmer, and hence his compare
tive gain on the amount of money in
vested in operations. - Tyler Tex

Disense In the Garbage Pat.

Never neglect to see that the gar.
bage-paiIs and all vessels for refuse
are kept scrupulously clean. 1t takes
only few moments to throw in solu-
ton of lye or of sal soda and water as
soon as they are emptied. Scrub them
around with little whisk. touching
every portion of the vessel with this
disinfecting solution. Rinse them with
water and set them where the hot
sun will dry and purify them. There
is no more certain source on which the
bacilli of all foul diseases may feed
than uncleansed garbage-pails, and yet
it is not an uncommon practice for
otherwise neat housekeepers to neglect
to keep them clean. christian Union.
