Labor Statistics.

Deputy Commissioner of Labor Milo
Marsh was in Owosso from Saturday until
Monday, arranging for the collection of
statistics relating to women wage earners in
Owosso. Statistics will be gathered to this
end by Mrs. f. I'll. Cherry, who has been
duly appointed by the Labor Bureau under
state authority, and who will at once enter
upon her work. AS the gathering of these
statistics are for the direct benefit of all
women who are wage earners, and as the
accuracy of answers is necessary to secure
the proper data for legislation to help
women, everyone should aid Mrs. Cherry
in answering promptly and securing the
whole truth on the subjects requested. The
state law requires truthful answers to all
Bureau Investigations, also makes it a mis-
demeanOr to refuse to answer or misrepre-
sent in the answer. so it hoped all will do
their duty and thus have Owosso fully
represented in the next annual report of the
Labor Bureau.

He Defends the Business of "Resurrec-
tion"-A Realistic Scene.
Then came the elderly man in evening
dress with the Song of the Cremationist. u
The use OF the cemetery scene was appar-
ent in that part Of the exercises. The
champion resurrectionist of the worldr
walked out upon the stage in Little
Lord Faunt,eroy costume with polished
leather leggings. He twirled little
English fore-and-aft cap in his hand He
told the audience that night doctors,
cadaver catchers, body snatchers, stiff
raisers, vampires and overtakers were
simply pet names for grave robbers.
An Illustration from Life.
After the professional resurrectiouist
had defended his business as the SAFE
guard Of science and complained bitterly
OF the low prices that the Georgetown
Medical college paid for assistance in his
line, he demonstrated the way in which a
body is stolen from grave A tall man
walked out from the wings and concealed
himself behind one of the mounds that
represented a grave. He was the corpse.
Then Professor Selden in his shirt sleeves
came on with long rope to which was
attached an iron hook.
Delighted the Audience.
He explained its use to the resurrection
ist and the resurrcctionist told the audi
ence all about it. Professor Selden and the
lecturer then shoveled imaginary dirt
from the grave for a few minutes. The
resurrectionist's muffied cry of glee in
formed the audience that the coffin had
been uncovered. The long rope with the
hook was lowered and the coffin lid was
pulled up to the geat relief and delight of
the audience. Then Professor Selden got
in the grave and pulled up the corpse.
Close of the Performance.
The resurrectionist brought out bag
and the corpse put his feet in it. A car
riage, drawn by horse with irregular
footsteps, rolled up off the stage. Pro-
fessor Selden and the resurrectionist
caught the corpse by the arms and pulled
him off the stage, and the corpse aided
them by kicking. This delighted the au-
dience again, and there was tumultuous
applause. The elderly man in evening
dress glided out, and Immediately played
1Home, Sweet Home" and the audience
took the hint.

were half q dozen solemn looking trees in

people watched the curtain 20 up and
wondered what was going to happen.
There were number of women present,

Began with an Old Song.
Professor Charles w. Selden, A. NJ, NJ
D., is not known to fame under that
name. He is a tall, athletic looking man
with a red face and mustache and hair
that are quite gray. An elderly man in
evening dress glided out from the wings
and seated himself at the piano. He
played a few bars and then broke loose In
a song called "The Old Sexton" in a voice
SO well developed that the leaves on the
trees in the background rustled. Then
IAN eminent clergyman" who was down
on the programme for lecture on modes
OF burial, appeared, and after pouring out
little water from the pitcher and clear
ing his throat, began his lecture. The
clergyman was a roundfaced, earnest
looking young man.
Approved of Body Snatching.
He recited piece about death and diff
ferent modes of burial, and whenever he
forgot his lines he deliberately took a
drink Of water and a man in the wings
prompted him. The supply of water was
exhausted before he wound up his speech.
The eminent clergyman approved Of body
snatching because it was necessary for the
advancement of science. He advised his
listeners to leave their bodies to the dis
secting room when-they died.
Talked of Carving People.
The grsy-haired man in evening dress
then came out and sang II Would Not
Live Away" By this time the audience
was wandering what it was all about.
Then "a distinguished professor of surgery
appeared. He was to talk on surgery ard
dissection, SO the programme said. His
baggy black trousers and white stockings
that showed above low shoes strongly re-
sembled those of the eminent clergy
man." The audience knew that it wasn't
the clergyman, however, for he wore a
stiff, white waistcoat and his hair was
long and gray. The audience also knew
that he was Frenchman, for he said &ze"
instead of 3the" and his gestures were Diff
ferent He gave history of surgery with
the aid of the water pitcher and the man
in the wings. The French scientist also
approved of body snatching.
