pended Several trees i'm this neighborhood

loaded with baled hay was caught in the
teeth of the storm and labored for twenty

the storm was that it continued

The advocates Of crematiua have
IL their favor some strong arguments.
, They sly the mandate that dust
,hall return to dust" is irrevocable,
md its fulfllment Is inevitable; that
He can In no way prevent 1t; we may
Instruct or we may assist, aud reason
dictates the latter course. Since the
longer the process is delayed tho
greater Is the danger TO the health of
the living, cremation is a benedcent
institution. Its growth in Europe
has been surprising, and In Italy
there are large numbers Of crcma-
tories, and in this country the prcju-
lice against the movement is de-
crcasing. II IS only eleven years
since the formation OF the New York
Cremation Society, the first institu-
tion of the kind in the United States,
and not until the year 1885 was the
Ilrst operative crematory inaugu-
rated, yet there are now In various
parts of the States nearly score OF
these incinerat2rs in moro or less
continuous service. The number OF
cremations which have been con-
Quoted each year in one of these
temples in Buffalo gives fair idea OF
the progress which the sentiment in
favor OF this method is making.
During 1886 eight bodies were incin.
Grated, and in each successive year TO
the end Of 1891 the numbers were re-
spectively, II, 10, %, 30 and 81. In
this temple everything possible has
been done to mitigate the sadness OF
the last ritual. The temple is built
Of dark-brown sandstone, and it's
square tower and deep slanting roof
are covered with Ivy and surrounded
by sloping lawns. The chancel and
nave are artistically carved and dec
grated and the windows are of rich
stained glass. The incineration takes
place privately after the funeral ser.
vice, and the ashes are delivered to
the undertaken to be disposed of as
the family may direct, or they may
be left at the crematory. A society
formed after the organization of the
pioneer society has reduced to ashes
since the year 1885 upward of 750
bodies. The process as carried out at
one Of their principal temples is rs
follows: The furnace is of fire brick
throughout and separated into two
distinct but similar compartments.
The body is placed in n chamber di.
rectly above that In which the fuel
Is consumed. The bottoms of the
rctorts are solid, but the sides and
ends are pierced with holes, through
which the heated air of the furnace
has direct access to the body, while
the flames are not permitted to ap-
proach it. The heat OF the retort
soon liberatcs everything volatile in
the body and these emanations are
conducted through another highly
heated chamber, and thus rendered
odOrless and absolutely innocuous be-
fore they pass through the chimney
which forms their means of egress
to the air The time taken up in re-
ducing body to ashes depends some
what upon the size and condition OF
the person when alive. In this fur.
mace 1t is about two hours; in many
Others 1t is little over an hour.
The fuel used is coal, ard In five OF

COLUMBUS ON EVERY LIP.
New York Celebrates the Discover Of
n New World.

The six days celebration Of the four hun.
dredth anniversary OF the discovery Of
America by Christopher Columbus, began
in New York City Saturday after weeks NJ
preparation. Commemorative services ver
held ia all the Hebrew synagogues, li.d
were largely attended.
Sunday, tho second day of the quadren.
NAL celebration Of the discovery of the new
world, was devoted to religious services.
Both in Roman Catholic and Protestant
churches the services were of the most inn
pressive character. The more important
were held IN st. Patrick's Cathedral, where
Arch bishop Corrigan celebrated high mass;
Trinity Church, Grace Church, where the
Rev. DIR. Huntington preached, and the
Madison Square Presbyterian Church, in
which the services were conducted by the
Rev DR.. Parkhurst.
pEcTHp IN HOLIDAY ATTIRE.
II is probable that no city was ever 30
beautifully, so gaily so artistically, and also
so universally decorated as New York was
decorated ON Sunday. The American flag
was seen everywhere. in all sizes and ar
ranged in every conceivable form. Next to
the Stars and Stripes WIS most frequently
seen the red and yellow colors Of Spain and
Italy's cross in ITS center of green, white
and red. The three flags blend well, and are
effectively used together in thousands of
cases. The portrait of Columbus occupies n
prominent place in all the more elaborate
decorations. The fayorite picture represents
him landing for the first time on the soil of
the New World with usually few pretty
female natives clasping their hands over
their breasts and peering out at Christopher
from convenient clump o ( bushes. Tens
of thousands Of cheap rints showing oil
umbus with sauctited look and earnest
exI ression were hawked about the city by
peddlers at dime each.
BY all odds tho most interesting and most
beautiful thing in the way of decorations is
the arch spanning Fifth avenue at Fifty
eighth street. IL is imitation marble. Two
Parisian marble columns on ench side en-
close inches, in each OF which is graceful
sculptural representation of Peace. The
pillars ARE entwined with grecnery and gar.
lands hang from the top. Surrounding the
arch are five al egoric female figures The
central one stands boldly in the prov of an
advancing boat. ON either side are two
heralds with out-strctched arms. On the
top OF the arch is the inscrip ion: UNITED
States of America IN memoriam glorious to
Christopher Columbus" All day to day
the arch was completely surrounded by
sight-secrs. II was evident that the holiday
crowd bad begun to arrive. Masses OF
people flowed up and down Fifth avenue
and Broadway all day long. gazing with
eager interest ut the decorations. The cele.
bration will continue through the entire
