GEN. FRYE's DEPARTURE.

Bad Condition of Things.

The physical condition of the various
branches of the so-called industrial army
now in camp near Highlands and in Bla-
densburg has grown steadily worse during
the past three 'or four days, and the effects
OF hunger are visible in almost every man
in the ranks. There has been no change in

Galvinites. the latter declaring that they
will starve rather than go back to Camp

that there were 238 men, who comprised
the first California regiment of the indus

AGAINST FUNERAL DISPLAYS.
An Earnest Protest Against Prevail
ing Customs by ArchdeacOn william

Archdeaconf Gilbert F. Williams Sunday
morning delivered i sermon at Christ
Church. East Washington, in which he
took strong grounds against lavish display
at funerals. He began by stating that
the early Christians were very particular
in the form and ceremony for the burial of
the dead. They used the simplest services
and guarded their dead with a jealous care.
Nom Christians were not permitted to at
tend the funerals nor Were they allowed
to touch even the bodies of the Christian
dead. There was no display at the funerals
ard no pomp or ceremony was tolera ted.
These followers of Christ avoided every
thing that had the appearance or SEM
blance Of paGanism.
Archdeacon Williams said that II the rit-
ual Of the early Christians We're III use
today the world would be better ana a
better regard for the dead would Re shown.
In passing TO the matter of burial of per-
sons who die out of the church he made
reference to the cases of suicides. He
stated that the ruhrics of the Episcopal
church strictly forbade the clergy of the
church to rectte the funeral service over
people who take their own lives except
where Ii Is known that such deaths were
due to insanity In speaking of the time
TO bury the dead he said that the Church
OF England required that the dead be
buried always In the morning. Ie thought
that this should be the rule in this land
10 o'clock In the morning and never mid
day He also stated that custom pre-
vailed at funerals of having persons acting
as pallbearers who were not Christians
and such classes were not proper to have.
In speaking Of customs that at one time
prevailed in the church in the burial of
the dead he said that there was nothing
so fitting as that of having the dead
brought to the church the night before
the interment ard the body guarded by
members of the church. He deprecated
the prevailing custom of long funerals and
lavish display of floral offerings. Set pieces
and designs were simply initiative Of the
pagan customs and were repugnant to
refined taste. He said that flow =rs from
| immediate friends were proper in their
way as a fitting tribute of respect, but
| when the display was made after the
skill of the florist IL was nothing but an
exhibition and show He argued that the
morning funeral was TYPICAL of the joy
BUSINESS Of life. while late funerals in the
| day partoOk of the symbol of sin, which
the darkness of night represented.
| Archdeacon Williams maintained that
funerals should be as solemn as could be
| made and that simplicity should mark
| the last sad rites. The church should be
| the place from which the funeral should
| take place and that only the relatives and
| immediate friends should follow the re-
mains to the grave.
The discourse was listened to with much
thoughtfulness' by the congregation and
| the words of the distinguished rector found
many of his people to be in accord with
! him.

NEED OF INSPECTORS.
The Health officer Has Made an Effort
to Secure More, but Failed.

Health Officer Hammett was so well salts
fed with the results of the house-to-house
inspection last summer that he is anxious
to repeat the good work this season. But
the emergency fund available at the begin
ming of the next fiscal year, July /, IS
sol 900 short of what 1t was last year, and
unless Congress makes a special appropria-
ton for this purpose the work cannot be
done. Last year Congress made the emer-
gency fund larger than usual on account OF
the cholera scare, and DR.. Hammett did his
best to have Congress give the extra
amount required this year, but did not
succeed. When DR.. Hammett appeared be-
fore the Senate committee a few days age
he urged upon the committee the necessity
for a larger corps of. inspectors At pres
ent there are eight inspectors connected
with the department, and two of them are
detailed as food inspectors. One of then
looks after the larger markets. while tbs
other is supposed to look after LOCO greer
groceries and small market stores, while
six men are doing sanitary work
When before the committee DR.. Ham
NETT asked for five additional inspectors
which would make total of thirteen men
giving ten for sanitary inspections and tire,
to look after food. The committee, how.
ever, did not take the matter favorably, be
cause of the few extra dollars they would
nave 10 appropriate, ana SO the sanitary
affairs of the city will probably run as they
have for many years.
Anticipating the action of Congress, DR.
Hammett, some time ago. asked the Com
missioners for ten men for the month Of
June. thinking that by their action durinf
the month the city might get thoroughly
clean before the hot weather sets In. AS nc
response has been received from the Com
missioHers concerning the request, II Is like
ly that no extra force will be employed A.
The reports of the inspectors for las
week show that Alb nuisances were report
ed to them and AL were abated.

An Important Damage Suit to BE
Again Tested.

Judge Bradley Saturday afternoon granted
the motion for a new trial in the case of
Edward n. Gray VS.. District of Columbia.
This was suit at law, in which Mr.
Gray claimed $4,000 damages because of
the alleged wrecking Of his iron foundry in
South Washington during the summer Of
1889. 1t was contended by the plaintiff that
the loss sustained by him resulted from
effectively built and uncleaned sewers
adjacent to his foundry, principally the
James creek sewer. The Districts defense
was that the damage was due to the extra
ordinary rainfall of the summer in question

was twice tried, the first trial resulting in
a Judgment for Mr.. Gray amounting to
about $500. That Judgment was a few
months ago reversed by the Court of APP

There are thirty cases of a similar char
