CREMATION.

Massachusetts has long been noted for
it's hospitality to new ideas, or new forms
of old ideas, and 1t is therefore not sur
prising to read that cremation is making
headway there. Five or six years ago
some little interest was taken in the
matter, but it soon died out. Now, how
ever, a new and promising start appears to
have been made. The Massachusetts, Gre
nation society has been formed, and
among the honorary vioe-presidents are
Bishop Phillips Brooks, President Charles
w. Eliot and Prof. Francis Child of
Harvard, Francis PaTkman, Augustus
Hemenway, Henry P. Bowditch, and Miss
Alice Longfellow. The society proposes to
build chapel for funeral services, fur
mace and retort for incineration, and q
chamber for the preservation of the ashes
of the dead in urns. The crematory is to
be at the service of all applicants with
out regard to religious belief. 1t is
asserted by those interested in the society
that the public health, on account of the
crowded condition of many of the burying-
grounds near Boston demands some other
means of disposing of the dead than burial.
The thirty three public and private eeme-
teries within the corporate limits of Bos-
ton and Mt. Auburn in Cambridge cover
an area of about 900 acres. During the
/ ten years ending 1S90-'9l, 1915 persons
were buried in these cemete ries. Alta dis
tance of about five miles from the state
house lie three cemeteries-For rest Hills
containing 237 acres which may be usee
for burial purposes; Mt. Hope, containing
1867 acres, and Calvary, containing A
acres, in all covering an area of about 49,
acres. In those three cemeteries during
the ten years ending 1S9O-'91, 43,419 per
sons were buried, much more than hal
the number buried within Boston's corpo
rate limits. These burial grounds are sal
to have no system of drainage, and 1t
suspected that they have caused much 4
health.
If cremation becomes popular in Massa
chusetts it may become pop ular in Cor

On the Summit of Pixies Peak.

lfTOm tne Denver News
Sunrise and sunset, as viewed from the
top of Pixies Peak, leave an impression
never to be forgotten" said Mr.. G. II.
Hobbs, who was signal service officer on
the summit for several years. ''As the
sun begins to climb above the misty plains
streaks of light shoot through the air as
though propelled by some mighty power.
The sunsets present n panorama which far
surpasses the most vivid stretch of the
Imagination. Clouds of variegsted forms
reflect all the colors of the spectrum, the
colors changing into new glory as the king
of day slowly retires behind the main
range, one hundred miles away. In the
early morning 1 have often seen the
shadow of the peak projected into the dark
background of the sky with distinctness
that was almost startling. l shall never
forget remarkable vision which l was SO
fortunate as to observe one day from the
roof of the station. For three days we
had been treated to a storm of unusual
violence, when all at once the clouds over
head rolled away, revealing far above the
deep blue sky, which could be seen through
an opening whose sides were of the most
beautiful oolors. 1t was a yeritable
glimpse of paradise"
The electrical phenomens were not least
among the attractions which are yividly
impressed on the mind of Mr.. Hobbs.
One spring day ball Of FIRE more than q
foot thick made its appearance at the front
door of the station, made circuit through
the house, striking a wood saw out of the
hands of Mr.. Hobbs' assistant, aad rolled
off down the side of the mountain, lesy-
ing two white-faced men behind
Pixies Peak, according TO Mr.. Hobbs, is
isolated from the earth by the great body
of granite, and thunderbolts have no ter
rors TO persons on the peaks. The cleo
trio storms are described as the mightiest
to be met with in all the mountain ranges.
Pixies Peak ia recognized as headquarters
for thunderbolts, and for hours at q time
the telegraph wire and all metallic points
of instruments are covered with bluish
lights.
Cats taken to the summit invariably
have fits, and never live more than six
months. Notwithstanding the altitude of
| three miles, 1t Is q common experience of
/ the observer to catch sight of an esgle Sc
renely floating two or three miles above
/ the station. The mournful cry of q pan
i ther or mountain lion Is one of the sounds
/ that greet the sar by night at the top of
/ the peak. With the advent of the cog
i road and the rush of tourists, the romance
has been taken from life upon the noted
sentinel of the Rockies, and 1t is not prob
able that the experiences OF the early oh
servers will ever again be duplicated

In the above dispatch every sentence
contains suggestions that are on their

bration of his golden jubilee the veneer
able archbishop of st: Louis has been
in"apac,at dirom active participation in
the affairs of his diocese, and, while it
is not understood that any official cOad-

likely that Archbishop Ireland will be
named for that position. In fact.the rev.

1T SUCCUMBED AT LAST.
The Nelson Paper Mill Destroyed
by Fire, the Loss Being
$4,000.
Spontaneous Combustion in a
Sawdust Spout Undoubtedly
the Cause.

The Nelson paper mill plant. at the
corner of Main street and Fourth avenue
northeast. was destroyed by fire last
night. The old building was left mere
hulk and the moOnbeams played through
the wlndOwleSs frames, casting shad-
oWS OH tine water of the river below.
The alarm was rung in from the mill
shortly after o'clock, and four engines
responded to the call. The general
alarm was then turned in, and eight
more engines. aside from the chemicals,
were On the spot within few moments.
The old building. however, burned
like finder, and all the en-
gines in the Northwest could
have saved the plant from destruction.
The exact origin of the fire is not
known. The watchman, who turned in
the alarm. is of the opinion that spOn-
tane0us combustion in the spout be-
tween the paper null and the Nelson
IL Tenny planning mill adjoining caused
the mischief, for he saw stream of fire
running toward the building. In an
other instant the fire had communicated
Itself to the paper mill, and the flames
soon reigned supreme. The spout be-
tween the two mills is used for the pur-
pose of conveying SawduSt from the
planning mill to the boiler room of the
paper mill, where it is used for fuel,
instead of coal. Chief Runge stated he
thought the fire started in the floor
above the boiler room.
The total loss, according to b. F. Nell
son. the president of the company, is in
the neIghborhood of $4,000, covered by
about 900 worth of insurance Chief
Runge thinks the loss will fall below
Mr.. Nelson's figures, for lie counts Oh
c0nsidt rable salvage in the line of ma
chinery. At any rate, the fire was
serious one. and will necessitate the
entire plants rebuilding, which will be
done as soon as possible. The paper

stories high and the rear portion
two stories high, with basement.

ERICKsON's DBsATIsFACTION
All in the Imagination of Unre-
liable Political Writers.

AS the GLOBE indicated yesterday
morning. the best of feeling prevails
after the battle was fought in Normanna
hall all day Tuesday and into the night.
The battle was fought out there. 1t is a
characteristic of Democrats that thew
fight out their battles and then stop
talking about it. AS James w.
Lawrence said in his speech OF
acceptance, the fight was fought
out within the party lines. All the
fights of Democracy are like thunder
shower on a hot, sultry day; they clear
the atmosphere. SO with The fight of
Tuesday. The sharp engagement in
the convention hall only served to tone
up and discipline the forces of Democ-
racy in the Fifth district, and put them
in proper trim to engage the real en-
envy, the Republican party.
In spite of the way Democrats have
OH this, as we'll as former occasions. of
accepting the verdict of the convention.
an attempt will be made by the papers
OF the opposite party, the INSCRIPTIONS
papers. that is, to make it appear that
y. L. Erickson ard his followers are
ready to bolt the nomination. In fact.
such an attempt has already been made.
The Tribune last night had this cred
tied to Erickson'S Labor followers":
at is the same that our experience i'm
politics has ever beeu. The labor ele-
lnent is all right to cuquette with. to
make up conventions with, and to be
permitted TO show ones strength with.
But that is as far as the parties ever
permit us to GO. No matter how strong
we may prove, it is ever the case that.
when it comes to a showdown, we are
left in the lurch and beaten, no matter
what combinations are necessary to ac-
compllSh it."
1t is Pullman palace car to a TOW
wagon that none of Erickson's follow
ers ever made such statements. Erick-
son was candidate before the conveu-
ton of Tuesday as Democrat. The
men who voted for him in that conven-
ton were Democrats. They supported
Mr.. Erickson as Democrats, and
will support the man who was
nominated over him as Democrats.
They will accord to Mr.. Lawrence the
same support they would have expected
from Mr.. Lawrence's supporters had
Mr.. Erickson been the nominee. Mr..
Erickson says he will not run as an in
dependent. He will not accept NOM
ination at the hands or the PEOPLES
party. He will not run for mayor. lie
will support the Democratic nominee
for congress.
All the talk of soreness or dissatis-
faction in the ranks Of the Fifth dis
trict Democracy is the veriest bosh.
The Peoples party has decided to
nominate full city. county and con-
greSsiOnal tickets. Jonas Howe and J.
j. Dynon, chairman and secretary of
the Peoples party committee in lIehne-
pin, have issued a call for combined
convention for the nomination of county
and congressional tickets. The conven-
tons will he held in Labor Temple
Sept. IL. The congressional cunven-
ton will be held at lOin the morning
and the county convention at D. III.

fraction thereof, cast for s. NJ. Owen
