LEXINGTON, Ky, Oct 2.-The attacks
! made by Desha Breckenridge upon J. d.
Livingston and Judge kinkhead the other
day have revived many "reminiscences of
personal encounters between politicians on
the streets of this capital in the past. None
of these meetings possessed more sensa-
tional features than did the fight to the
death that took place between Colonel A.
NJ. Swope and Colonel Cassius Goodloe on
Nov. five years ago.
Both Swope and Goodloe had hosts of
friends, and while never friends, owing to
political rivalry, they had managed TO get
along without any very serious trouble
until a short time before the CORY finale.
Both were Republicans, as Desha Breckin-
ridge and the men he attacked were both
Democrats.
The beginning of the end, so far as
Swope and Goodloe We're concerned, came
in May, when GoodlOe made some slight
ing remarks in a state convention about
Swope. Swope retorted by declaring Good
loe's words as mean, uncalled for, I'M
gentlemanly and malicious and alluded
to their outgiver as ''Goodloe, the man of
fine clothes, of flowing mustache and
magnificent strut" They came near hav-
ing fist fight at the Phenix hotel a few
days later, but We're parted by Senator
Beck and other mutual friends. After that
both went armed, but did not come in
close contact with each other till the day
OF the tragedy.
The meeting then occurred in the post
office, which both CHANGED to visit at the
same time for their mail. Strangely
enough, their boxes adioined, and they
reached them simultaneously. They touch
ed elbows rs if by accident and turned and
glared in each others faces.
You spoke TO me, sirP' said Colonel
Swope.
You have insulted mel" said Colonel
Goodloe
Then Colonel Goodloe whipped from his
pocket a large cleaning dirk knife and
raised it TO strike. At the same instant
Colonel Swope drew his 50 caliber revolver.
AS if they had often rehearsed the deadly
scene together, Goodloe's knife fell and the
hammer Of Swope's revolver struck the
cartridge IN perfect unison. There was
fash. The revolver spoke sharply. Then
there was hand 70 hand encounter, dur
ing which Goodies knife fell - times
and with frightful effect Swope's re
volver spoke but twice, but il was enough
for the bullet lodged in his adversary's alb
domen inficting mortal wound. They
were engaged in the struggle in all not
more than a minute. possibly 80 seconds
longer Swope was the only one 70 speak,
and he but once, when he Gasped, oh,
my God, DON'T
He died instantly, but Goodloe managed
10 walk 10 the door OF the Office. He died
q few hours later. L. NJ NOTEs

Boston, Oct. Ever since women be-
gan TO fill feminine parts on the stage,
which is about three centuries ago, there
has been more or less prejudice against
them in any domestic capacity. The very
fact that for more than 2, 600 years they
never appeared in the characters written
for them in any country proves how wide
and deep was the conviction that the
theater, in respect of acting, exercised a
most immoral influence on women. This
conviction has faded during the present
century into a bias, but still decided
bias, that actresses do not make good
wives; that they commit an error, 70 put
it mildly, If they enter into matrimony
Many persons indeed go so far as 10 be-
leve that the profession of an 0ctress is
so Incompatible with life of domesticity
that the one precludes the other. How
often man Of the world, hearing OF an
actress marriage, smiles satirically and
asks, For how long,

on the stage are gifted with connubial YER
satility. But are they alone SO gifted

Actresses are always in evidence. Pub

or fail to do is advertised Their entire
career is one of self exploitation. Privacy

public curiosity is rife concerning them,
and the community, which is largely play
going, Is ever eager TO comment on their
conduct and to discuss all their affairs.
Hence every conjugal experience they
have, whether it be ordinary or peculiar,
is noted by the press and debated by the
people to an extent wholly out of proper

The assertion often made that the poor
help 10 keep the poor alive was corrobo-
rated when an old man sat on a step in
Park row the other day. He held his hat
out in a pleading manner for aid. A neck
tie pedGler, looking poor enough himself,
came along, looked down upon the bent
and ragged form and could not resist the
impulse TO help the old man. Thrusting
his hand in his pocket, he took out worn
pocketbook. from which he extracted a
small coin. and gave il 70 the man. The
beggar looked up at the generous giver in
surprise and thanked him many times,
while the nccktie man went on his way to
sell his ties.-New York Tribune

vanced more rapidly in recent years.
Its Spread In Europe.
Since the establishment of the second
modern cramatory at Gotha, Germany,
more than 900 bodies have been reduced
to ashes there. Numerous other Euro
pean cities have crematories, and in Eng
land the movement has q genuine impetus
given in part perhaps by necessity, but
mainly by the work - Modern cremation"
written by Sir Henry Thompson, the re-
nowned London surgeon. To the crema-
tory at Woking, near London, has been
added that az Manchester, and the move
ment is rife throughout the United King
dom. The resistance that was expected
from the aristocracy and the Established
Church of England does not seem to have
materialized, for the Duke of Westminster
has given 81, 600 for the uses of the coun-
Gil of the Manchester Cremation society
and hos allowed the use of his name as its
president, while two priests of the English
church are members of that council, and
many others have suggested a slight change
in the burial ritual to make it apply to the
modern mode of disposing of the dead.
Among other places abroad where great
activity is being manifested in cremation
may be mentioned Berlin, Copenhagen, Ge-
neva, Hamburg, London, Milan, Paris,
Rome, Stockholm, The Hague, Vienna and
Zurich.
Those who Approve 1t.
Many clergyman of prominence have
pronounced in favor of cremation, among
them Rev. r. Heber Newton, Rev. Henry
C. Potter and Rev. W. S. Rainsford of
New York, and others who have signified
their approval of incineration are William
Waldorf Aston, Dr. Felix Adler Mrs. Lii
lie Devereux Blake, Andrew Carnegie,
Moncure d. Conway, Mrs. j. c. Croly
Jennie June), Charles A. Dana, Kate
Field, Abram S. Hewitt, General Horatio
c. King, Miss Minnie Palmer, Robert p.
Porter, Edgar Saltus, James NJ. Varnum
and Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
A great point in favor Of cremation Is
its cheapness. 1t may do away with large
and costly funerals and the expense of
keeping graves in order without abating
the respect due to the memory of the de-
ceased. Thus it becomes boon to per-
sons Of limited means. 1t would be too
rude an irruption of custom to merely
invite friends to the grave to see the
body buried. In case of cremation, with
a chapel convenient, no family need OBJ
ject to announcing that the ceremonial at
the crematorium will take place at an ap-
pointed hour. Cremation is not intended
to do away with any of the sacred ceremo-
mics attendant upon burial 1t only SUI
persedes the state Of being buried, that
condition which follows the ceremony and
to which a majority of the people close
their eyes c. T. MEANY.

In this condition the body remains until
all destructible matter has escaped and
has been oxidized. All this is accom-
plished in from one hour to three, while
the fire itself should have started from

the cremation. Next comes the cooling
of the fire in the furnace, the subsistence
of the heat in the retort and the with

Cremation In Italy.

As already indicated, cremation is not
new. ~ had been practiced from time
innemorial in many countries, and it
fell into disuse from lack OF forest fuel
in Europe, a lack which has now been
overcome by coal and its gases and a
knowledge of furnace construction. The
first modern crsmatory was built in Mi
Ian shortly after Jacob Moleschott the
Dutch Psychologist and Italian senator,
wrote in favor OF cremation in 1884.
Moleschott died in Rome in 1898 and was
incinerated at Campo-Nerans. Italy,
where in 1886 the pope declared against
cremation, stands pre-erninent a. the coun-
try which has made the greatest progress
in this line, for about 80 Of its cities have
crematories. Ii seems destined neyerthe-
less to be outstripped by modern America,
where more than 3 600 bodies have been
incinerated since the establishment OF the
arst crematory. More than go 600 men,
bers OF cremation societies have been en-
solled in Esw York and Its vicinity. and
