AGAINST cREMATIoN.
New AMI Interesting Argument Ire
sente1 by Sir francis uaden-

senteA by Sir francis uaden-
1t cannot be said that cremation has
gained many converts during the last
few years. In spite Of the one great ar.
eument adluced in its favor-namely,
that earth burial Is iusanitary-people
have gone d burying their dead in the
old way The hygienic objection 70
earth burial has been ignored rather
than combatcd-in fact, many inteli-
gent people who would still insist ON
the old mode of burial in the case OF
their own relatives ould nevertheless
admit that the contention of the crema-
tionists rests on basis of fact
But in an address the other day nc q
meeting of the British Institute Of Pub
lie Health Sir Francis Seymour HadCn
took issue with the crcinatiOniSts on
that very point. He declared in the
strongest language that earth burial, II
properly conducted. can never eDdangcr
the health of the living, and carried the
war into Africa by asserting that crcma-
tion Is itself insanitary. and therefore
so serious a menace TO the public health
that it ought to be prohibited by law.
The earth, he maintained, Is the one
great purifier and renovator. There re-
sides in the soil the chemical power Of
forming new and innocuOus combina-
tions out Of the poisonous and miHsmatic
substances buried in il. Not only that,
bat the earth needs to be enriched by
the restoration TO it Of dead matter,
whose substance was drawn from it by
the protoplaSmic energy of life. So
IL 81, r.F
world were to be burned, the earth
would soon be deprived, according to
Sir Francis. of the chemical clements
that support life. and all life would
cease.
1t would perhaps battle wiscSt course
for outsiders to les the distinguished
English scientist and the crenatiUniSts
fight this question ont, as indeed in all
likelihood they Will. 1t IS pertinent tp
observe, however, that it Is not the
purely speculative question that it may
seem to be at first It has practical
application aS we'll IL the contention Of
Sir Seymour Haden is true, then the
system Of burning garbage, So frequent
ly advocated and III many cities adopt
ed, is nuwise, for il Is destroying vain
able nutrient clements that ought to be
returned 70 the soil On She same theory
the practice of throwing the garbage
into the sea, in vogue III 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 Hnd i'm
portance and should be carefully con-
sidered by all cities that contemplate
the burning of their garbage-New

VIII Meet Here Next Year.

The thirteenth annual convention of
held at Carbondalo, was brought to a
close late Thursday evening. After the
busy sessions of two days the election of
officers became the order of business,
and the result was as follows: Presi-
dent, j. j. O'lIara, Parsons; first vice
president, p. f. Mccoy, Scranton; sec
ond vice president, Miss Mary Barrett,
Carbondale; secretary, Il. w. Early,
Green Ridge; treasurer, p. +. McDon-
nell, Carbondale: delegates to the ma
tional convention at New York on Au-
gust Z, M. j. O'Toole, Scranton; p. j.
Quinn, Minooka, and Miss Katie Mahon,
Kingston.
The district parades will be held at
Jermyn and Plymouth on October 10.
Some of the delegates advocated the
idea of dropping parades and expending
the vast sums of money thus used in
other channels for the advancement of
the temperance cause. The committee
on insurance features had copies of the
plan printed, and these were distributed,
action to be taken by the societies in
the coming year.
Resolutions were then adopted deplor-
ing the evils of the liquor habit, request
ing all to engage heartily in moral
reform, urging the members to make
the basis of all their undertakings un-
limited faith in the efficacy of prayer
and in the sacraments of the church;
encouraging the formation of cadet
societies and of ladies' societies as potent
factors in temperance reform; condoling
with the family of the late Eckley b.
Coke, etc.
Freeland was selected as the place of
holding the next diocesan convention.
1t will begin the third Wednesday of
Nav, 1896.

Meeting of Railroad Men.

The threatening weather yesterday
morning deferred many of the railroad
men of the region from coming to town,
and the attendance was somewhat
smaller than was anticipated. The
meeting was held at the Cottage hall.
F. w. Hooking, of Hazleton, prominent
member of the brotherhood, addressed
the gathering in the interest of union
ism. His address was well received
Other addresses were made by Chairman
Josiah Ward, of Silver Brook, and d. J.
Mccarthy, of town. The latter spoke
from disinterested standpoint, being
neither an employer nor an employe of
the same class as the men addressed,
but his remarks were to the point and
made an impression upon many of his
hearers. He dwelt considerably upon
the necessity of railroad men being total
abstainers. A musical programme was
then rendered, us follows: Piano solo,
Celia Brennan; vocal solo, Miss Nellie
Mclaughlin; vocal solo, Miss Rose
O'Donnell; vocal solo, James Reed; vocal
solo, S. Slattery.
Before adjourning committee of
five, consisting of Frank McBrearty,
Frank p. O'Donnell, Thomas Slattery,
