A Tragic Custom.

A feature OF every dead Cars funeral
is the appearance of two men in mediaeval
armor, one mounted and the other on
foot. The mounted knight wears an
armor of FURNISHED gold, and visor up.
He symboliZes Life.
The knight Oh foot wears an armor
of coal-black steel His visor is closed
and he bears a drawn sword, two
handed, and shrouded in Grape. He
symbolizes Death.
The weight of these suits may be
imagined when 1t is remembered that a
fallen knight had usually 10 wait to
be lifted, it being impossible to raise
the weight of his own armor. The most
powerful men of the imperial guard are
selected TO wear the symbolic suits,
therefore, but on every occasion the
burden of the knight on foot has proved
beyond human endurance. The soldier
who served at the obseQuies of, Nicholas
/ fell dead of exhaustion on reaching
the Church of SITS. Peter and Paul, where
the royal mausoleum Is.
At the funeral OF his successor, Alex
ander II, the unfortunate black knight
tainted during the march from the
Winter Palace, and died that night at the
hospital, whittier he was borne.
During the progress of the funeral
procession of the late Gar, it was noticed
that the black knight dragged himself
along with ever-increasing difficulty,
and on reaching the fortress he sank to
the ground unconscious, and died soon
after.
Perhaps the new Czar will be content
to die without exactins a spectacular
victim when his time shall come

ouery From a Taxpnyer.

Editor Times: In your editorial to-day
you make q statement that ut Is still
Georgetown, and they may abolish George
town as an entity by abolishing all signs
of distinct government"
As you know, no doubt, heretofore We
have had four distinct city divisions dce
stance, one is northwestl, which Con-
gress makes appropriations for each of
these divisions to be improved, also
separate one for Georgetow Is is ex-
pected this feature will be wiped out by
the Commissioners in the enun erations
you have stated in your editorial, and
have Georgetown classified in the north
west with no separate distinction), thereby
giving the Commissioners the power and
opportunity to scoop up the unds to i'm
prove favored portions of sections OF
this division for the interest of real es-
tate men and the wealthy, to the indif-
ference of other portions of the north
west, who pay taxes and get no street
improvements i. A. w.

SHOULD BE PROTECTED.

our urShoulder-strapG pGentlemen a Against
These Rude Con. mon Soldiers.
Editor Times: / see you condemn the
Imprisonment at hard labor in the Ohio
penitentiary for striking an officer of the
army.
The trouble with you is your lack OF
due appreciation of things. What you
would doubtless prefer would be to have
an officer who has received some train
ing at West Point in the art of self
defense put his training into pr actice
and take so!dierman who had punched.
him by the scruff of the neck and shake
him, or haul off and tap him on the jaw.
In other words, you would prefer to
see an officer himself thrash a soldier
who had assaulted him in private, not in
public.
You apparently don't like to have an
officer, under such circumstances. call out
the guard and then after the assaulting
soldiernlan has been arrested, 'tell on him."
Just because that sort OF thing was
looked down on at school and is so now,
in the private walks OF life pretty much
through hout the world, you look down
on an officer who prefers TO have some one
else punish the ASA Mt for him.
Why you don't appreciate the significance
OF ii all. These officers of our army are
not in the private walks of life. They
are a privileged set. They don't have to
toll. They are the flower Of our national
manhood. They should be preserved. Their
beauty should be protected. But they
should not be expected to protect 1t them-
selves. Such an exertion might spoil their
perfume with the odor OF ply 5 ical exertioD.
No, siri. You are wrong in condenning
the sentence of Gill. You are wrong in
protesting against his confinement in
narrow sheet iron cell this hot weather,
prior TO his being taken to the penitentiary.
AS Orth'ris would have said.
"Gill, e hought to be hung, 'e hought.
Think OF it! e strook a bloomin' hof-
ficer! Great scawt, amt it awful?''

CHIPS RATTLE STILLED
Up the River Dives Are Dark and
Their Habitues Dispersed.
But Further Down the Policy Dens
Are In Full Blast and Rum
ners Are Active.

II brgins to look an though the notorious
gambling resorts, which for SO long in.
tested the Virginia eide of the Potomac
above the Aqucduct Bridge, are to be
closed for good.
| Last night not q eingle one of the dens
was open, and it is stated that not for six
trweeks has the rattle OF chips and the sound
| of brawls and revelry heen heard.
The big, barn-ike houses are dark and
lifeless. and If there is caretaker about
he keeps himself pretty well hidden. One
| good sign that this evil has been eradicated
| is the appearance of the river in the even
| ing. Last night, and in fact ever since
tho recent heated term began, the beautiful
| Potomac has been GRO wded with q fleet of
! small boats, and young people are again
| taking up pastime which for many years
was one of the most popular amusements in
Washington. After the dives, which nestle
under the cliffs in the prettiest spots along
that beautiful reach had become fairly
that beautiful reach had become firmly
estab!ished, boating in the evening was
pract ically killed for ladies. The dis.
x
as they passed the resorts caused the river
to be abandoned.
Now night on the river is as peaceful as
of old. Merry pleasure parties row up
and down and young voices in boating
songs and collage glces, take the place
of the boisterous sounds which formerly
polluted the entire reach.
About six weeks ago Nelson's place was
raided and the valuable layout confiscated.
Since then Jack Heath's place has been
closed, and just before that the keno bank
over Clarke's raioon was shut down.
Further down at Roach's Run there is
different state of affairs. AS stated in to-
days Morning Times, policy is in full blast
there, and in spite OF Sheriff Palmer's
warnings, seems to be flourishing.
The Times has information that it is
not only the players at the tables who make
up the patronage of the policy dens. The
city is infested with gang OF policy run
ners who collect the plays from the diff
ferent saloons. barber shops and dining
rooms throughout the city. These are
then turned over to party who takes them
across the river twice a day.
This is promotin. policy pure and simple,
and could be, stopped Many of these
runners are said to be known 10 the police,
and as they take the train twice 4 day for
Jackson City they could be apprehended
1t is a fact, however, that they are not
molested. y
Another thing In that there are said to
be certain sporty detectives who associate
with these people, drink with them in a
certain saloon when they are waiting for
their train. and are hail-fellows-well-met |
In general. They know very well what |
business these runners are in, yet they do |
nothing toward stopping them.
1t is a well-known fact that Foster and |
Nelson have been indicted here in the Dis |
trict on two different occasions for promot- |
ing policy, yet they have never been brought |
to trial.

FREE BURIAL.
1t Has Been Adopted In Many of the
Swiss Cantons.

-
Swiss Cantons.
There is at least ore country in the
world where 1t costs nothing to die. In
some of the can.ons OF Switzerland all the
dead, rich as well as poor, are buried at
public expense. Coffine ard all other neces-
sary articles are furnished on application
TO certain undertakers designated by the
government. Everything connected with
the interment is absolutely gratiutous, in
Guiding the grave and the religious service
All classes avail themselves freely of the
law.
Appropriations are made for the medical
inspection Of tie body, for advertising the
corpse, for the funeral procession, and
funeral, for the coffin and dressing Of the
hearse, for opening ard closiEg the grave
and for putting up and numbering the head
board Furthermore, the grave must be
ornamcn.ed by growing plants in q modest
way at the expense of the community, but
the bereaved family has the privilege OF
adding TO such ceCoraticps. A special law
provides for the payment of subsidies by
the cantoual government to the communities
in cases of epidemic. 80
In the canton OF Glaruestrangers as well
as citizens are buried a the expense OF the
State. The grave, top, must be kept in
proper condition for y term of ten years.
The <cenetery is the property of the COM
muDity, and is placed uEder the care OF a
superintendent, who arranges for and con-
ducts funerals, keeps a register OF the
graves, which are numbered consecutively,
and sees that they are properly marked
and kept in order. The coffins are TO be
made OF pine wood And after model pre-
scribed by the authorities, who establish
uniform price for them. The graves follow
each other IN regular order, according to
date Of burial, in pnifom rows, and the
dead are all laid side by side, without dis
uDction as to standing in life or religious
belief. Children, however, ON account of
the smaller size OF their graves, are buried
apart from the adults. In case religious
services are dispensed with by request, bells
are tolled in the customary fashion, and
the recorder of life statistics reads at the
grave the personal record OF the defunct.
Officials and employees at buria;s are for
hidden to receive gratuities. Wherever
free burial has been introduced in Switzer-
land the principle has been adopted that in
asmuch as death makes all men equal,
there ougth to be no distinction in the in
termeDts of the departed. 1t is assumed
that all citizens, high or low, rich or poor.
will avail themselves OF the provisions OF
the enactment, and that all funerals shall
be equally plain and unostentatious.-Bos-
