The regular scnIi-monthly meeting OF the
Building Trades Council was held on last
Tuesday evening in Monumental Hall, on
Penns ylvania avenue. The council was
called TO order by the president with ten
building trades represented. The stand
Ing committees MADE encouraging reportson
state of trade.
Mr.. Marshall of tue Swiss Laundry asked
permission to be allowed 10 state his side
of the case in the differences now exist
ing between the laundries of the city aud
their relations toward organized labor.
After being admitted Mr.. Marshall stated
that bis employees never had an opportunity
To join the laundry workers organizations,
and IL was generally understood that IL
they applied for admission they would be
rejected. Mr.. Marshall further stated that
he had no objection To his employees joining
the organization.
The case was considered and reported
back to the committee for further investi'
CATION.
The ease of Yust Bros. was taken up and
the delegates instructed TO bring the matter
of refusing tu work for these contractors
before their respective organizations.
An amendment was offered IL the consti'
tuition that the meetings "f the council
be held every week, instead OF twice 4
month"; The amendment was laid uver
for one month
In view of the fact that the pressing de-
nIands of the building trades require prompt
attention, Ii is considered by the represen-

CREMATION IN PARIS.
Number of IncineratiOns Growing
Steadily From Year TO Year.

Steadily From Year TO Year.
The advocates in this country of Gre
mating dead bodies will be some what
encouraged by the reports that come from
Paris of the number OF tncinerations that
took place there during the first four
months of 1896.
The number of incinerations that occur,
either in accordance with a previous re-
quest OF the person whose body is disposedof
or at the instance of the representa- tives.
increases every year, with great regularity,
though not rapidly.
According to the statistics published by
the project OF police, the number OF Gre
nations that took place at the Pere La
chaise Cemetery from August, 1883, to the
end of April. 1895, were as follows: 1889,
40; 1890, 12I; 1891, 1874; 1892, 1 SO; 1893,
1S9; 1894, ZIG; and 1895 (four montish

The furnace would consequently often
be idle were 1t not for the remains from
the hospitals, which amount to from S,oOo
to $500 bodies per annum-
The apparatus employed is that of NM.
Toisoul and Fradet, and works by means
of gas, with recuperator- Inctnerations
are accomplished In an hour, or, at most'
an hour and quarter, and the cost OF the
combustible never exceeds three francs per
operation. =,

Fichet has recently been inaugurateu-
The difference between the two Inventions
lies chiefly in the application OF oxide OF
carbon. In the coDtrivance devised Dy ~
Fichet the body is consumed by hot air alone
and does not come into contact with gases
According To this method, incineration Ia kes
place n little more rapidly than in the
Toisoul furnace, but the expense Is greater
by nearly quarter as much.

LEGEND OF THE BREECHES.
Here Is Little Story Which Is Run
ming Through French PaperS.

Sire Hahn was tailor, and was the most
patient of men. Unfortunately for him,
his wife was capricious and afflicted with
an ungoverDable temper.
A last the tailor got out OF patience. To
morrow morning he said, Il will throw
my breeches dow uinto the yard, and thenwe
will go down stairs and whichever one Of
us succeeds in recovering them first VIII
be boss of the house"
Dame Auieuse accepted the challenge
with delight, aud invited her neighbor 81
mon and her friend, Mrs. Aupais, to be the
Judges of the combat. Al the appointed
time the combatants appeared In the yard
aud the struggle for the hreeches began.
It was a long battle, and the description of
it given by the poet occupies no less than
$50 verses.
Dame Anieuse came very near capturing
the prize but in tue struggle she tumbled
into big basket and got fastened in 1t,
with her feet in the air. She cried for as
sistance, but the husband took advantage
of her unexpected position and put on the
breeches, or rather what remained of them
for the precious garment had suffered con-
siderabiy in the melee.
The Judge declared that the wife was
conquered, but she was not willing to yield
until they threatened to leave her fD her
unenviable position.
Ever afterward she was an obedient wife.

ROYAL DOGS KEPT AT HOME.
Victoria and Wales WIN Not Exhibit
at Kennel Shows.

Kennel shows in Great Britain owe so
much OF their popularity and vogue To the
prominent part which the royal family, In
Guiding the queen. have always taken I'D
these affairs as exhibitors that the decision
OF her majesty and the Prince of Wales TO
refrain from sending any of their dogs to
shows hencerorth must be regarded as
serious blow to these features or the Lon
don season.
The English people are like sheep. They
follow the lead OF royalty In everything
and some ten years ago, when one OF tue
young princesscs was photographed Win
one finger coyly pressed TO her lips in token
OF silence every woman from the duchessto
sculIerymaid. seemed tothinkit her bounden
duty to have herself portra yed in similar
pose. In the same way, when in the seven
ties the Princess of Wales walked lame, tue
result of her stiff knee. you could baruly
meet a single woman I'm the park during
the fashiona BILE hours who did not affect
the same halting gait. which was chris
tened by the wags OF the period as the
Alexandra limp.
So, when the queen and the Prince and
Princess of Wales announce their oeclslon
to IN longer send their dogs for exhibiuon
at any OF the kennel shows there is every
reason tu believe that society first ana
then the general public Will foilnw SUIT
and that I'm the course of two or three years
the kernel shows, which In times past
have attracted sporting men I" Lonoon
from all parts of the world, Will cease
to take place.
Just what the reason is that led British
ROYALTY tp take this step 1t is difficult TO
say. But, in the first place, the reigniDg
house must be tired nf the snohhery which
induces the judges TO invariably award the
first prizes to the royal bow-wows, ana
then the queen and her children are so fond
of their canine pets that they dh not relish
submitting them every year to the un-
wonted conditions of life involved by a
weeks residence away from home. whlch
is lust sufficient to upset their heaith
and their habits. The queen is so fond
OF her Pnmeranian spitz that she even
allows him to disport himself on her
breakfast table.
The Prince Of Wales invariably has n
dog or two travelling with him wherever
he goes, either at home or abroad-siDce
| the death Of the Duke of Clarence 1t has
been one OF the latter's favorite Dandy
Dinmopts-while the Princess OF Wales
and her daughters always have their dogs
with them. With people SO attached TO

ances Of a public exhibition.
Connie GiIclirist, now Countess of Ork-

had narrow escape the other day while
out hunting with Lord Rotbschild's s stag
hounds near Eddlesboro.
The scent led straight along the railroad
track, and the hounds. followed by Lady

in the first fight during the run, were dash

to pieces. and Lady Orkney had just time
to tear her horse to one side when the
train thuDdered past within Il yard of the
peeress and Of her terror-stricken horse.
Lady Orkney is living quietly, indeed,
with her husband and, astonishing as IL
may sound. is actually making her way
in social sense, the Rothschfids, who
are nothing if not exclusive, showing her
a good deal Of attention and courtesy,
though they have not yet quite gone to
the length Of asking her to dinner.
