tion last night at 10 o'clock at her home
at the corner Of Belmont and kellam

to Massachusetts, at 3:40 this afternoon
and it will be cremated at Boston.
Mr.. Brigham has long been an earnest
advocate of cremation and his brother,
+. W. Brigham, was a member Of the
first cremation society organized in Mas
sachusetts. lie said today, II do not SEQ
how anyone who seriously thinks Of the
matter can be in favor of dispOsinR of
the dead any other way. The process Of
accommodation is revolving to me.
It takes a number % years for
the body to return to the elements la

people dug up and left on top of thn
ground, and boys playing with skulls.
ION the other hand when the remains
are put into d crematOry, in an hour
or hour and half, there is nothing there
but pure clean ashes There is nothing
repulsive about it,"
The funeral services over the remains
of Mrs. Brigham will be held next Mon
day at the cid home IN shrewsbury

The body of Lucy Stone was the first
cremated there. The temperature Of
the retort in which the incineration takes
place is from 200 to 1.60O degrees, aud
the time required to consume the body
varies.
About three months ago Mr. Brigham's
mother was cremated at the same place,
this being the forty second incinerati0n.
Mrs Brigham was 81 years old and she
had been a sufferer from consumption
for over a year. The family moved to
Topeka from Riverside, Rhode Island, in
April. Mrs. Brigham's health improved
after she came to Kansas, but few days
ago she began to fail and death soon
came. There are two children, both
grown. Mrs. Alice X. B. Horton who
lived with the family. and Edward Brig
ham who arrived three weeks ago.
Mr.. Brigham is largely interested in
Topeka real estate and is one of the
heaviest stock holders in the woolen
mill, now in process OF construction.
The family accompanied the remains
to the east.

Five Years Defeated.

WASHINGTON, Sept 6.-The much
mOoted German question was decided by
the supreme lodge of the Knigh hts Of
Pythias today by a decisive vote against

man lodges five years of time in which
to adopt the English ritual, resulted IA
to Al against the minority. Then the
majority report was adopted by vote of
79 TO 36.
The gist Of the majority report is
found in the following recommendation:
THAT the supreme lodge reannOunces and
affirms the declaration made at the Kan
sas city session, that hencefOrth and for
evermore the ritual used in this and all
other English speaking nations shall be
printed in the English language only
and that when the standard Of
our order shall be planted in any
country speaking another than the
English language. the ritual there
in used shall be printed and all con-
Germs over which the body has control
shall be conducted only in the language
of such government to the end that it may
be known to all men and to all nations
that around our altars. Pythian Knights
are taught is one of the cardinal princi-
pies of the order, undying loyalty and
they owe their allegiance, whether it be
the land of their birth. or the country of
their adoption"
1t also commends the supreme chan
cellor for his action in upholding the law
in this matter and was signed by four
members of the committee. Stanton l..
Carter, Thomas d. Mears, L. p. Hunt and
Aaron Myers. John II. Russo of indiana
was the author of the minority report,
which recommended that lodges that
have remained loyal to the su-
preme lodge and which were
working with rituals in other
than the English language when the last
ritual was promulgated. be furnished
with rituals in the language they were
