Funeral Reform.

The Protestant Episcopal clergymen
Of Baltimore have issued IA practical ad-
dress with reference to more common
sense soustoms at funerals. While de-
~precating any action that might imply
d~nrespect to theNdead, thew call atten-
ton 10 the habit of Men removing their
hats when a body is carried from the
house, as well as when tie friends NJ"
gathered at the grave. Such an act, as
they will say, is not always necessary in
order to show respect; and health has in
many cases been seriously affected
thereby.
Another point to which the address
refers is the custom OF Sunday funerals,
which, il is true, cannot be avoided i'll
some cases, bnt which in the majority
Of instances have their motive simply

FOR display, Clergymen have IN that

elsewhere, while the cemeteries are
often crowded on Sundays by idle per-

tai indifference insults the mournerS'
sorrow and makes the scene anything
but one of solemn and reyerent wor-
ship. Considerations of health and of
iecency, as well as of the fitness of
things, should suggest that the public
consider the question Of Funeral Re-
form as n that bears largely on the

would walk ten miles to get

get it without. She had had
experience with it.
That corset is just as easy

it is when half worn out.
You can 60 to your store
and get it and wear it two or
three weeks, and then you
will know what comfort is in
a corset. If you are disap-
pointed in it in any way, 60

Temperance Reformers Meet in Chicago
ana Talk Politics.
CHICAGO, H., Jan. 27.-It is safe to
say that such gathering as that which
assembled here this morning has sell
dom, if ever, been seen. It was a ma
tionai conference of representatives.
Of the various political reform
movements now in existence in this
country, including Prohibltionists,
farmers, laborers, Greenbackere, gen
eral reformers, etc. Miss Frances Z.
Willard presided and stated the object of
the conference to be to devise ways and
means for electing a President of the
United States who with one blow would
crush the rum traffic. Among those
present at the meeting were Lady
Somerset, George A. Washburn,
of Boston, secretary of the Peo-
pies party; Gilbert Delameter, Of

countrymen wild chase after Green

sas; Gen. Weaver, of Iowa; A. Wardell
and H. L. Louks, of Huron, S. d., and
President Samuel Dickey, Of Albion
College, Mich. Ignatus Donnelly, was
down for an opening speech, but
failed to appear. The central idea is to
unite all of these elements on one can
didate for the presidency IN the belief
that they outnumber either of the regu-
lar parties. The meeting was held with
closed doors.
The twelfth annual meeting of the
National Farmers Alliance began here
this morning. About 100 members of
the organization of the Western and
Central states were present, with }. II.
Powers, of Cornell, Neb., in the
chair. A committee on credentials
was appointed and a recess taken until
