"Tho time is coming, said an under
taker of this city the other day, when
people will cease to go TO funerals in
troops, and when the friends Of the de-
ceased will take farewell Of his remains
at his home instead Of following him 30
the grave, as they do now. This will be
decided change for the better. Flu
nerals as now conducted are foolish and
meaningless performances. They bring
discomfort to all who attend them, and
in many cases they do positive injury.
Think Of the thousands Of people who
catch their deaths of cold from standing
shivering at an open grave and from sit
ting around for hours in carriages travel
ing at snails pace for miles into the coun-
try. OF course the time is not far dis
tant when burials will be largely super
seded by cremation.
"On the whole am disposed TO regard
cremation as blessing. People are OPP
posed to it now because they think It is
unnatural and horrible. 1t is simply an
assistance TO natures work; 1t does
neatly and quickly what nature accom-
plishes after long time and in very un-
pleasant fashion. I wonder IL people
will ever realize that when a human
being dies the body which he leaves be-
hind him is not himself. There is no
more relation between man when he is
living and when he is dead than there Is
between any living thing and piece of
clay. But we have not reached that age
of civilization when the popular mind
can grasp this fact. When we do there
will be very different funeral ceremonies
from those now in vogue, and other
methods of disposing of the dead will
change materially. New York Tele-

Art Before All.

A struggling sculptor, reduced almost
to starvation, had finished what to him
represented the aim Of his existence. Il
was a plaster cast Of a very beautiful
woman, and the poor fellow hoped 1t
would mark the turning point in his ex-
istence. The weather was bitterly cold,
and the sculptor, shivering in his Parisian
garret, became alarmed for the safety Of
his work, for it is well known that frost
is deadly enemy to plaster. Tenderly
and lovingly he draped the figure in the
worn coat he took from his own i'll clad
shoulders, and lying down beside il, fell
asleep. The morning broke, and the
frosty sun shone upon the two figures
both inanimate. The artist had sacri-
feed himself to his art, for he was frozen
dead. His brethren, stirred by his un-
toward fate, raised sufficient money TO
have the figure cast in bronze with an
inscription let into the base Of the pedes-
tai, describing how he gave'his ife--all
he had to give-for his beloved art,

OWENBY WANTED.
1t Is Mildly Suggested That He
Is in Contempt.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The journal
was approved without objection. A bill
was passed providing for the issuing of
the commission of P. G. Johnston as
rear admiral. The house then went into
the committee of the whole on the mill
tary academy appropriation bill. The
committee having risen, informally,
Mr.. Dingley. of Maine, chair man of the
committee Investigating the alleged
"silyer pool" presented special re-
port of that committee. The report
states that in the usual form subpoena
to appear before the committee was
served upon j. A. Owenby, and
that said Owenby has refused
or neglected to obey the subpoena.
The report is accompanied by the fol-
lowing order: Ordered, That the speak
er issue his warrant directly to the ser
geant-at-armS attending this house or
his deputy, commanding him to take in
to custody forthwith, wherever to be
found, the body of j. A. Owenby. and
him bring to the bar of the house to
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt; and in the mean
time keep said J. A. Owenby in his Gus
tody to await the further order of the
house. Mr.. Frank, of Missouri, in-
quired as to the answer made by Owen
by upon the serving of the subpoena.
Mr.. Dingley replied that the only IN
formation of the committee was con-
tanned in the return of the deputy SER
geant-at-arms, Mr.. Forsyth. to the effect
that he had served the subpoena upon
Owenby at the Hotel Richelieu in Chi
cago. Mr.. Frank inquired whether
OWenby had been told that he would be
entitled to mileage and fees. Mr.. Ding
ley said that the committee had consid-

cred the matter, but that, so far as he
knew. no information had been given to
Owenby as to his mileage and fees.
Mr.. Frank declared that he had no in
tention of obstructing any effort to Sc
cure the attendance of the witness, but
if the witness had demanded mileage
and fees, he (Mr. Frank thoIght that
he would be entitled to both before re-
spending to the subpoena. There was
nothing to indicate what Owenby's re-
ply to the subpoena had been. There
fore it seemed to him that it would be
we'll to go slow before passing such a
drastic order as this. Before passing it,
it would be well for the house to know
that it was able to enforce the order.
After brief legal discussion as to the
power of the house to compel the at
tendance of witnesses, the report was
agreed to as preamble to the order;
aud as amended the order was made.
The committee of the whole then re-
sumed its session. After long debate,
which assumed political character.
and without disposing of the bill, the
committee rose and the house ad-
iOurued.

THE FIRE WATER CURSE.
Settlers Sell Whisky to Indians
and Then Call for Aid.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The COM
missioner of Indian affairs has received
a report from Indian Agent Hal j. Cole,
of the Colville agency. in Washington,
as to the reported trouble among the
Okanogan Indians in that state. 1t ap-
pears that white freighter named
Cole was shot some weeks ago in the
vicinity of the reservation, and young
Indian named Stephen was generally
thought to have been the murderer. He,
however, gave himself up to the au-
thorities, feeling sure, it is said,
that he could prove his innocence
of the crime. The night Of his surren-
der, and while his friends were trying
to secure bail for him, the Jail, where
he was confined. was entered by masked
men and the Indian taken out and
hanged. This greatly excited the In
dians at the time, but the agent has no
fear of further trouble. He says that
the whisky traffic. however, must be
suppressed, and that very soon, or
trouble is very likely to ensue from this
cause. The agency farmer, Mr.. Thomas,
is authority for the statement that there
are at least twenty whisky sellers located
along the Okanagan river, near the res
ervation, who make their living by sell
ing whisky to the Indians. The agent
asks for authority and funds to rid the
country of these pests.
