A w..nap.s Great Ride.

An extraordinary riding achievement
has just been accomplished by Miss
Beatrice Tomasson, an English lady,
who has spent several months
of each year for some years past in
Innsbruck, which She has made
the center for many riding tours. Start
ing from the Tirolerhof she reached
Bozen the same evening, ride of 1879
kilometers, The next day she rode
through Meran to St Valentine, 90
lsilometers, where she spent the second
night. The third day she returned to
Innsbruck by way of Iardecls, stretch
of 141 lsilomcters. The whole distance,
800 kilometers, was ridden by Miss
Tomasson in sixty-seven and three
fourths hours, pace rendered more re-
marlable by the fact that two noun
tain passes had 20 be ridden over,whose
elevations are respectively 1850 and
1900 feet. The horse was unframed for
such work and the road was unfamiliar.
No previous preparations as to quarters
had been made. Rider and horse ar
rived in perfect condition at the Tiroler
hof

they draw the line at cremating the
personal effects of the dead and the
wiclsiup in which he died.
They believed that the evil Shirt
would steal the heart of the dead and
carry II into hades, and in order TO de.
feat the evil spirit they resorted to
cremation. In preparing the corpse for
cremation the legs were drawn mn
under the body near to the chin, the
arms were folded over them and tied
with leather thongs. This Office was
invariably performed by the nearest
relative, who also placed the corpse on
the pyre and applied the torch. The
death cry continued until the corpse
was reduced to ashes. The mourners
put ashes upon their cheeks and con-
tinued TO wear the ashes, without the
sackcloth, for two, taree or six months,
according TO the state OF their grief.
The last cremation in this locality took
place ten or twelve years ago. The
Diggers abandoned the .,barbarous''
practice about the time the palefaces
adopted 1t and put up q crematory near
here.

preston to get abroad that the Morgan
resolution. under which the inquiry Is

prove the capability Of the Islands for
government, and In the second, the
desirability OF annexing these Islands.
Senator Morgan, who IL Chairman OF
the Committee. has been scrupulouslv
careful about expressing opinions upon
the Hawaiian ,,Iestlon, manifcsting n
disposition TO do or say nothing which
would appear extra judicial, but he Is
known to be at heart firm believer In
the wisdom OF attaching the Islands to
this country.
The fact that he has very recently in
troduced bill IN the Senate providing
a form OF Government for any acquired
territory. lends plausibility to the sup
position that he Is looking forward 10
possibilities far beyond anything in
cluded in the resolution under which
the Committee is authorized to conduct
Its present hearing.
