SAFE FROM GRAVE ROBBERS.


The Body of Murderer Holmes in a Bed of
Cement.
Philadelphia, May S.-The body of H.
III. Holmes, which was imbedded in ce-
ment in pine box yesterday after the
hanging and then placed in vault in
Holy Cross cemetery, was this afternoon
buried in a grave 10 feer in depth. Rev.
Father McPake, who was one of Holmes
spiritual advisers, and who remained
with him until the last, conducted the
Services of the Roman Catholic church
Rt the grave. The attendants were Law
yer Samuel P. Rotan, who defended the
murderer; Undertaken O'Rourke, several
employees of the Holy Cross cemetery and
q morbidly curious crowd. The grave
or rather the two graves-is located in
the western part of the cemetery, where
single graves are sold, in conSecrated
ground. The box with the body imbed-
fled in cement weighs over a ton, and
&c was too wide to be lowered into an or
binary grave. Hence today Undertaken
D'Rourke selected a sufficient space in
tie single grave portion of the cemetery
t. receive the unusually large coffin.
The only vehicle large enough to hold
the box was wagon used in hauling
monuments, and this conveyed the body
of Holmes from the vault to its last rest
ing place.
When the funeral services were over
and Father McPake and the undertaken
and his assistants had departed, the
grave diggers, aided by mason, and I'M
der the supervision of Lawyer Rotan,
piled a layer of cement feet thick upon
the box. The material was packed in
and about the sides and ends of the
novel sarcophagus, and when the job was
finished the remains of Holmes were pro-
nounced safe from grave robbers for all
time. His tomb will be solid wall of
rock. Mr. Rotan remained to see that
the last wishes of his client were carried

The past year has been very hard one
for all missions. The board has a seri-
Gus financial problem to meet, which
means for the present standing still In
the field work. The report of the home
mission board shows a deficit of about
$SOOO Mission work in Cuba will not be

Baptist missions have small hopes Of
success in the island under Spanish rule
for years to come.

Bangor Commercial: Shrewd fisher
men do not always know what kind of a
pole is best This thought is suggested
by the remark of the late PeIeg Wash

meats to Abbot and Foxcroft. A Dexter
bank official approached Washburn who
was well known to be man of means,
with a suggestion that 1t would he a good
thing fer him to put some Of his money
into western mortgages which bore high
rate of interest. The old man scratched
his pate for q moment and then hlurted
out, II don't like to fish with such long
pole. The force OF the metaphor and of
the incident is heightened when it is
remembered that Washburn was one Of
the easy victims Of Judge Hale of Fox
croft and loaned him $40, GEO on his town
notes. Perhaps in that case the fish pole
was too short for safety.

The new captain general comedies that
it will probably take two years before
Spain can suppress the riotipg' in Cuba
hut he doesn't say how many millions of
dollars will be required or where Spain
will raise the money. Srain has imposed
new war tax upon the Cuhans bat how
such a tax can be collected from an i'm
poverished people without harsh meas
ployed without largely increasing the
accessions to the insurgent ranks are not
clear to the average mind. Meanwhile
Spanish credit with those OF whom she
borrows is at pretty low ebb. Several
sweeping Spanish victories in Cuba
would probably strengthen this declining
credit a little, but the fact that the Cuban
resources have been drained and the hope
lessness of maintaining peace on that
serve TO keen the market value of Spanish
loans considerably below par. At the
commencement OF the Cuban war Feb
ruary, 1895, the four per cent home loan
bonds were quoted at rs :; today they
are offered at 65 Z. The four per cent
foreign loan bonds We're 81 l0 today they
are 1890. The Cuban six per cent
bonds We're ll012, and today they have
dropped to $50; the Cuban fvcs were
1902 and at the present time they are
quoted at So The rate of exchange to
Paris which was at six per cent, is now
twenty-one. From these figures it will
be seen that the loans now made by Spain
are exceedingly oncrous When it is
claimed that a loan of $40 900, 000 is
made the amount received is only about
onc-half. 1t is thought that he bank Of
France will let the Spanish government

government will be able to carry on the
