QUIT HIS GRIM CALLING.
Career of an Old Man Who Has Dug Nesrly
Thousand Graves.


WEST CHESTER, PA, Jan. 16.-Alban
Seal, the octogenarian grave digger Of the
Birmingham Friends burying ground, has
resigned and brought to an end a service
extending over little less than half CEN
tury. A few days ago the old man, assisted
by his brother Joseph, who is only 10 years
his Junior, dug his last and 991st grave in
the old graveyard. Every one Of the s91
graves in the little cemetery near the an
cient meeting house was dug by "Uncle
Alban," and he points with pride to the
fact that the last resting places of whole
families have been followed out of mother
earth by his hand. The old man is still Q
type of healthy and vigorous manhood. His
head, it is true, is almost innocent of hair,
but his heavy, sandy beard is only scatter
ingly sprinkled with silvery threads. His
eye is still bright and the lapse of years has
served to soften the rugged outlines of his
genial face. The exact date of his entering
upon the duties of graye-digger Is not
known, but the cemetery was laid out in
1s42, and shortly after that his long service
began

at the present moment over this
country regarding the pension ques
ton. Commissioner Raum in his
last report made the statement that
he proposed during the ensuing
year to put out 100000 certificates
President Harrison quoted that
statement in his message to con-
gress. Three days ago I saw a state
ment, covering, l believe, Il period
OF six months, giving the number Of
certificates issued. 1t averaged a
little over $500 certificates per week.
There has been great drop in the
last six weeks in the work of the
pension Office, and last week they il
sued only 2,051 certificates. They
have about 1850 employees, which
make it one certificate IA week for
each person.

PARIS, March 16.-The excitement
caused by the explosion at the LObau
barracks has not yet worn OK, and men,
may be heard talking OF the affair in
the cafes and wherever the public con-
Vregatcs. This, The latest outrage, has
awakened the Government 20 the fact
that extreme measures must be adopted
10 suppress the Anarchists, and that
the most severe punishment must fol-
low detection. The police have, there
fore. been notified that they must de-
rect the perpetrators OF these cOwardly
crimes.
Paris has always boasted Of her Sc
cret police, and yet with all their facili-
ties for gaining knowledge Of the move
ments Of lawleSS characters, they have
found nothing that would lead 70 the
arrest OF the men whose bold etfrOutery
and seeming contempt for the police is
causing CONSIDERATION among the people
OF Paris.
". Loubet. the Prime Minister, had
loUg conference to-day with the Project
Of Police and the magistrates who are
conducting the inquiry into yesterdays
outrage, and 10 was decided that the
residences Of all AnarchitS should be
searched. Whenever arms, explosives
or sedltious documents are found the
occupiers of the place will be arrested.
There is no denying the fact that the
incidents Of the last month have caused
q general feeling Of uncaSiness among
all classes Of society. No one can form
an idea as 70 where the Anarchists will
make their next attempt in their war
against society, and the only thing that
can be done is 10 exercise redoubled
vigilance 10 thwart them. Following
this policy OF defence, the government
has ordered thar iu addition TO the regu-
lar guard, a secret guard be placed at
all the public buildings and military
posts. As q matter of precaution, also,
the guards at the bank of France have
been increased.
Several Of the more prominent Anar-
chistS, who have attracted police atten-
zion by the violence of their denuncia-
zion, were arrested at their lodgings
this morning, out no papers OF import
anCe were q .SCOyered.
