rumAN WEATHER INDICATORS.
Effects OF Atmospheric Changes ON tho
Temperament Of Men

Temperament Of Men.
a writer in The American Journal Of
Psychology discusses the subject from
tho view Of common experience and
presents somo facts that are interesting
as well as leading in their directness
He says;
"Tho head Of factory employing

cent less work than delightful day.

slider new psobloms favorably. Some say
that opinions reached in best weather

Other facts arc mentioned in the
psychical and physiological relations, as
weather often affects logic, and many
men = most syllogistic conclusions are
varied by heat and cold. The knee jerk

AGAlNSI CREMATION.
New snd Interesting Argument Trr-
sentcd by Sir Francis laden.

sentcd by Sir francis Haden.
II cannot be said that cremation has
gained many converts during the last
few years In spite Of the one great ar.
gument ad,iuced in its favor-namely,
that earth burial is nsanitary-people
have gone on burying their dead in the
old way. The hygienic objection to
earth burial has been ignored rather
than combated-in fact, many intelli-
gent people who would still insist on
the old mode Il burial i'm the case OF
their own relatives would nevertheless
admit that the contention of the crema-
tionists rests ON basis Of fact.
But in an address the other day at a
meeting OF the British Institute Of Pub
lie Health Sir Francis Seymour Hadon
took issue with the cromationists on
that very point. He declared in the
strongest language that earth burial, IL
properly conducted. can never endaDgor
tho health Of the living, and carried the
war into Africa by asserting that croma-
tion is itself insanitary, and therefore
so serious menace TO the public health
that it ought to be prohibited by law.
The earth. he maintained, is the one
great purifier and reIovator. There re-
sides in the soil the chemical power Of
forming new and innocuous combina-
tions out OF the poisonous and miasmatic
substances buried In 10. Not only that,
but the earth needs to be enriched by
the restoration TO il Of doad matter,
whose substance was drawn from it by
tho protoplasmio energy of life. So
that, il all the effote residuum Of the
world were to be burned, tho earth
would soon be deprived, according to
Sir Francis, of the chemical elements
that support life, and all life would
cease.
Itwould perhaps bo the wisest course
for outsiders to let tho distinguished
English scientist and tho cremationists
fight this question out. as indeed in all
Likelihood they will. 1t is pertinent TO
observe. however, that it is not the
purely speculative question that it may
seem to be at first. IL has n practical
application as well. If the contention OF
Sir Seymour Haden is true, then the
system Of burning garbage, so frequent
ly advocated and in many cities adopt
ed, is unwise, for il is destroying valu-
able nutrient elements that ought to be
returned 20 the soil. On tho aame theory
the practice of throwing the garbage
into the sea, in vogue in this city. is
even more vicious, SO far as its effect on
the soil is concerned. AS will be seen,
therefore, the question here raised is one
of the greatest practical interest and i'm
portance and should be carefully con-
sidered by all cities that contemplate
the burning of their garbage. New

NO RECONCILIATION.
The Deacons Are Parted Forever, Says Cos
sipy-know Everything Cholly.


Edward Parker Deacon puts to sleep
all rumors Of an intended reconciliation
between him and his wife, who is said
TO be ON her way to America with her
mother. Mrs. G. II. Baldwin.
Deacon has written to a near friend
in Newport that there is no prospect
whatever of his ever seeing Mrs Deacon
again, much less of his living with her
These are almost tho exact words OF
Deacon's letter, written from Green.
field, Mass, ON Sept. 2S.
What is more. he authorized the recip-
lent of the letter to make its contents
known to the public through the press
Deacon is now living in Greenfield
with his daughter. and it may be de-
pended ON that he means just what he
says.
Though very quiet man as to his
domestic affairs. he is also very deter.
mined. and it is probable that no would
not make any such statement now if he
had not been driven 10 it by repeated
reports that a reconciliation is about to
be effected
The man who has nerve enough to
kill his wife's paramour as Deacon
killed Mrs Deacon's French lover is
not likely to become reconcilod to the
woman.
He may he generous enough to let her
go her way in such peace as she may
find, but he can never take her TO his
arms again.
The only instance of the kind in my
knowledge is that Of well known and
wealthy New York man, who is still
despised for his action. -Cholly Knick-
erbocker in New York Recorder.

WERE BOUND TO PLAY POKER.
Newspaper Men Out Of Cash Put Up Thei,
Brains For Stakes.

Newspaper Men Out Of Cash put Up Their
Brains For Stakes.
Poker has been played with every.
thing from pea beans to hundred dol
lar bill, but perhaps the most curious
commodity that was ever passed about
over the green cloth occurred the other
night among party of newspaper men.
Somebody suggested the evening
hours would pass more quickly If all
hands indulged in the national game.
Every one was willing. hut when an nc.
count OF stock was taken it was discov-
cred that there was only about 81. 90 in
the crowd, and every one objected to
playing for wind" After little dis
oussion some one had an idea, which no
put in these words: Lets appoint n
committee Of two rs judges; then for an
hour let us each sit down and write
short stuff for the Sunday paper. Every
thing that the committee agrees upon as
being good enough to be printed shall be
accepted as cash and can be paid in as
equivalent for stack of chips"
This idea met with instant favor. and
for an hour or more nothing could be
heard in that room but silence, At the
end of that time each one produced his
quota of alleged interesting stories, and
the committee to which it was submit
ted, reading it all with lenient eye,
passed nearly the whole lot
Then the game began and furnished
the curious spectacle Of men opening
Jackpots for quarter of a column and
antoing with stick, with fixed
limit of a column, including the head.

Otto Kemper, a former member of Tam
many hall and representative of Tam
many district in the New York legislature,
has published book which purports to be
the life of Croker. According to the CO.
pious extracts from this book, published in
the New York World, Croker has been
the leader of gang of thieves and scoun-
drels, prize fighter, the keeper of disre-
putable resorts, has been in many street
brawls, and was once tried for murder.
He has accumulated an immense fortune,
without visible means for its acquisition,
and the race horses which he owns today
are worth hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.
The reason for Croker's retirement is
that he sees the handwriting on the wall,

pie of the metropolis will rise in their in
dignation and defeat Tammany Speed

Sensational stories from Washington.

The New York Press and the Philadel-
phia Press have printed this week. in an
extended Washington despatch, what is
claimed to be ''the true inside history of
the surrender of President Cleveand's adj
ministration and the Democratic Senate TO
the sugar trust The amendment of the
Wilson bill for the benefit of the sugar re-
fining interests is declared to be worth
S50,O00,000 year to the trust. The
transaction is described as deliberate and
corrupt sale, involving "the darkest scan
dal that has tainted the highest official life
in this country since the credit mobiier
revelation.
Briefly stated the charges are that the
sugar trust contributed half million dol
lars to the Cleveland campaign fund in the
last election; that it was this campaign
obligation which shaped the course of the
administration respecting Hawaii, and
which now accounts for the efforts to
amend the sugar schedule of the Wilson
bill so as to suit the trust; that the pro-
posed tariff on sugar went directly from
the White House to the Senate finance
committee; and that through "nside in
formation gained by senators active in
Gorman-Brice tariff compromise negota-
tions they were able to clean up several
hundreds of thousands of dollars in the
rise in sugar certificates.
1t is further alleged that members of
the Senate finance committee have in their
possession a memorandum from Secretary
Carlisle, suggesting what the sugar sched-
ule ought to be and telling the committee
that, after the gift of $500, 900 when the
need of funds was very great, ''it would
be wrong, it would be infamous, to turn
now and strike the men who then helped
us"
Either as a diversion from these charges,
or as supplementary to them, the fact has
since been divulged that at least two sena-
tors-Hunton of Virginia, a Democrat,
and Kyle of South Dakota, Populist-
have been offered large sums of money,
S25, 900 and $1,000 respectively to vote
against the pending tariff bill. These of
fers came from man named Buttz, for
merly member of Congress from South
Carolina, but now of North Dakota and
a man of no personal responsibility.
These various charges led Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, to introduce, on Wednes-
day, resolution for an investigation
Yesterday this resolution was adopted and
a committee of investigation was appointed
EX-Secretary Whitney, who managed
the Democratic campaign of 1892, denies
that the sugar trust made a contribution
of 100000, and Senator Voorhees,, chair
man of the Senate finance committee, de-
nies that Secretary Carlisle submitted a
sugar schedule to please the trust.

noss Croker,s AhdIcntion.

Richard Croker, the boss of New York,
has retired, or made pretence of retiring,
from the leadership of Tammany hall, and
one McQuade is set up as a dummy chair
man of the executive committee in his
place. Mayor Gilroy, a leading Tammany
brave, sounds this pean:
"Now that Mr.. Croker has vol
unfairly retired, want to say of him
that he has been the most phenomenal
and successful leader that Tammany
hall or any other political organization
ever had. When he took charge of the or
ganization in 1885 he found it weak and
demoralized to some extent and without a
single municipal Office. He leaves Tam
many hall in possession of every city office
If that is made the test of success, he has,
indeed, been successful. In addition to
that | can bear personal testimony to his
