Why Cholera Victims

Cremated.
(Sir Spencer Wells, in:the February Fo-
rum.)
1t is vain to hope for the abolition
of cholera IL its bacilli are still to be
preserved by burying in the earth
the bodies of the victims. The dead
bodies CT cholera patients are not
merely dead organic matter. All
dead bodies, whatever may have
been the cause of death. contain my
riads of living organism. AS soon as
ceases these organism assist In the
process OF decomposition, form poison
GUS products, and may excite disease
If brought by air or water into contact
with living beings. But what Is
much more important Is the fact that
in o proportion of little less than 20
per cent the bodies buried In the
usual way in the earth contain, In
addition to the ordinary agents OF
decomposition and putrefaotiop, the
germs of symotic diseases; the seeds
of scarlet fever, yellow fever, small
pox, typhoid, cholera-the germs OF
pestilence almost imperishable In the
earth, ready after many years OF
latency to revivify and recommence
their infective activity. Any mode
of buryIng the dead in the earth,
with or without coffin, expose the
living to unnecessary danger. Any
thing short of complete destruction
| by fire or by some powerful chemical
agent must be powerless or incom-
plete as q safeguard.

MANY BARGEs SUNK.

Heavy Damage Caused by Moving
Ice i'm the Ohio at Louisville.
LOUISVILLE. Feb. 2.-The ice gorge at
this city broke during the night and has
been passing over the falls all day in a
crashing, grinding mass. Every pre-
caution had been made for the break,
but when the huge mass came crashing
down on the coal fleet ropes and chains
were snapped like strings and many Of
the barges Were sunk or torn from their
moorings and swept over the falls. The
other steamers were safe in the canal.
Thirty loaded barges, containing 10000
bushels of coal each, and 100 empty
barges were either swept away or sunk.
The loss will aggregate $150,Oo0. The
river has risen rapidly and no further
trouble is anticipated.

TO THE IRrsH PEOPLE.
An Address Issued by the National
League.

( 4
NEW YoRK, Feb. Am address has
been issned ito the Irish People" by the
Irish National League of America. It
was signed by the president, secretary
and treasurer of the league. The adj
dress in part is as follows:
. The great British statesman, the Rt.
Hon. William e. Gladstone, will with
In the next few days introduce in the
British parliament home rule measure
for Ireland. We have carefully studied
it's provisions, and are of the opinion
that the measure is a mere mass of
legal verbiage intended to give no salts
faction to any party. Even should the
bill pass it would only place Ireland on
still lower level.
We stand today at the parting of the
ways betwixt resistance and concilia-
ton. We have advised the latter until
patience has ceased to be virtue and
further temporizing has b scome crime.
We advise the formation of clubs
wherever there are Irishmen honestly
desirous of Improving the condition of
Ireland. We call on You to join with
us so that We may be able to round oat
the century by the fulfiIlment of our
hopes.

MONTANA FINANCES.
How the Condition OF the State Trea-

How the Condition or the State Trea-
sury Affects Legislators.
HELENA, Feb 2.--The alleged condi-
ton of the Montana state treasury is
affecting various members of the legis-
lature In different ways Some of them
see only safety in economy, while others
are willing to spend money in any way
that they think will advance the states
interests. The bill for commissioner
OF agriculture. labor and immigration
is half way to the governor already. and
as that officer makes the appointment it
is not likely that he will throw away
chance to reward some of his
party friends. Besides this there are
bills well advanced creating the Office
OF game and fish warden, a necessary
offfcer it is claimed, deputy state audi
tor and deputy state treasurer. The
latest is by Senator Goddard, who wants
state architect, for what purpose he
does not cay. As there are no state
buildings in course of construction. the
need of such an officer is not apparent.

The Canadian Pacific Steamship City
.of Peking Is Now Eight Days
Overdue,
And the Company as Well rs Those
Having Friends On Board Are Get
ting Anxious.
Nearly Two Hundred Barges Swept
Away or Sunk i'm the Ohio River
by Moving lee.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.-There is still
no news of the overdue Pacific Mail
steamer City of Peking. and the non
arrival of the vessel is causing increased
anxiety to those who have friends and
relatives on board, and also to the
Pacific Mail officials, who are getting
uneasy about the steamer, although
they express the opinion that she will
come into port all right.
1t was thought possible that the
steamer China, just arrived from Hong
Kong and Yokohama would bring some
news of the Peking. but she reports,that
she saw nothing of the missing steamer.
and that she spoke no other vessel
which had sighted her. The Peking is
now eight days overdue, and it is prob
able that the Pacific Mail officials will
send vessel in search of her within a
day or two.

An engineer has written to one of the
dailies to advocate the disoxygenation
of glass. He argues that since steel is
made by disoxygenating molten cast
iron by blowing air through it, by a pro-
cess reversely analogous glass can be
softened into toughness and fexibility.
He maintains that glass, which is not
only much cheaper than iron, but much
denser and tougher. can be put to any
of the uses of iron excepting electrical
conduction, while for drain pipes and
water pipes it would be unequaled.
The champion of disoxygenated glass
maintains that it could be used instead
OF tin and copper, and would replace
iron for rigging and fencing, etc., as it
possesses almost three times the tensile
strength of the best wrought iron; fur
thermore, he regards it as not improba-
bic that vessels built of glass beams and
plates viii eventually replace our pres
ent' steel ships, as they would be strong
er. cheaper and one-half lighter. Pitts

E
Democrats Would Confirma a Supreme
Bench Nomination.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.--It Is under
stood that the Democratic members
have come to an understanding with re-
gard to the question of confirming or
rejecting President Harrison's nominee
to fill the vacancy on hesupreme bench
caused by the death of Justice Lamar.
IL the president sends to the
senate the name of a Re+
publican who is approved In
character and ability, as he has done In
ether cases, the Democrats will make
no strenuous effort to defeat his COM
firmation. They expect to compensate
themselves in another way. The SUI
preme court is now composed of nine
justices They think the bench might
consistently be increased to eleven, as it
has several times before been increased.
When the next congress meets they
intend to bring forward measure
providing for this increase in the
number of justices. They also reckon
on the early retirement of Justice
Blatchford, q Republican, who is IS
years old. If they can fill his place and
add two more the Democrats win have
five justices on the bench out Of the
eleven. Reckoning upon the ordinary
chances of death, Mr.. Cleveland may
have one or two additional vacancies TO
fill, with strong probability that in
side of four years the Democrats ON the
supreme bench will be in the majority.

Two or three days later my sister came
running in from the barn early in the
morning, and held up an old silver half

from the barn floor. 1t was dated 1897,
