PHoNoGRAPH FUNERALS.
Talking Machines for Burial Services In
stead of the Minister

The latest thing of funeral is one in
which the burial service is read by n pho
nograph. At Grcvcsend, near Coney Is
land, several funerals have been con-
Quoted 10y photograph recently. Clergy
men are very few and far between in
that section, and in the summer there are
none at all. The undertaken of the viii
lage saw that something had to he done
to supply the want of u Clergyman, and,
being II man of inventive genius hit
upon photograph as being the best way
of solving the problem.
He persuaded II duly ordained minister
to read the burial service into the cylin-
der of phonograph, and also secured
cylinders with appropriate hymns and
prayers. ~ huge trumpet serves to in
tensify the sound, and causes the voice
from the photograph to be both long and
distinct. When the coffin has been laid
beside the grave the photograph which
stands where the minister would ordi-
narily be, is started and the ceremony be-
gins
First of all a portion of the scriptures
is read, then quartet renders the hymn
Nearer, My God, to Thee" after which
the Lords Prayer is recited The pho
nograph voice then reads solemnly the
burial service. Commttal of the dead is
followed by another prayer. Another
hymn is sung, and then the photograph
pronounces the benediction. The effect
is very solemn, for the PARKWAY sound of
the sonorous voice seems somehow to in
tensify the meaning of the service
No use, other than religious one, is
ever permitted with the monograph, and
its big trumpet has never ground out
such popular ballads as 1.-The Sidewalks
of New York; or ''Uncle john The
undertaken takes n really serious view of
the instrument, and when not in use it is
kept alongside the family Bible, with II
decorous Grape band depending from the
iioring trumpet.
The inhabitants of Gravcsend have be-
come quite used to the phonograph and
say it is just the thing for them. Some
of the older villagers, who make n point
OF attending all funerals in the vicinity,
say that Il funeral would not seem like "A
real funeral without "Abe's' machine.
Abraham Stillwell, the originator of the
idea, holds that there is nothing inappro-
pirate in the idea and several ministers
have assured him that they fully approve
of the plan.

NEW DAISY MILLERS.
a Prince Waylaid by Two Women for
Handshake

This story has the additional charm of
being literal statement of exact facts
The participants in the preparation of
the astounding piece of audacity were II
buXom, handsome matron and her elegant
daughter, whose home is in New York
says the Herald. They happened to ar
rive in Munich one evening in the course
of their European tour, and, staying over
n day, paid visit to the royal palace. 1t
was not open to visitors, as tie day was
q festival but Il bride procured them per-
mission to go into one of the beautiful
galleries. AS they were admiring the
beautiful sights the guards came up and
babe them 'Hushr' for the Prince Re
, gent and his suite were on their way back
from the chapel and must pass through
this very gallery.
a glorious idea struck the daughter
They would shake hands with the Regent.
Accordingly they posted themselves
despite the excited guards eXpostula-
tions) one on each side Of the doorway, so
that, no matter how the Prince entered,
he could not escape them
The handsome old soldier, in full uni
form, soon appeared to dazzle the eyes OF
these un-American title hunters, his
elderly, rather unattractive daughter
hanging on his arm. lie was nearest the
matron, who approached, and, bowling,
said in German, Good day, Mr.. Prince
The Regent, taken aback, almost
gasped, "Do you know who amp
"Oh, yes in the native tone, which
she is an adept in assuming; 'of course
we know. You are the Prince Regent.
We came all the way from America to
see YOU
The Regent smiled, and, dropping at
| once into English, said, ''And how long
| bovo ,-o,, bco,, hora.r
"a day, Herr Prinz, and we like your
city immensely. 1t is very beautiful"
You don't know anything about it.
| You haven't been here long enough, !"
| came the unexpected reply. The Prince
| told them they must surely come to see
| him again when they were in Munich,
and chatted pleasantly for five or ten
minutes, not objecting apparently to
these attractive specimens of the veruckle
| Anerkanerinnen. His daughter, how
ever, seemed to get impatient. 1t was
| nearly luncheon time, and she was prob
ably hungry, the two Americans explain
! ed, in telling the story. So with cordial
| handshakes they parted.
"And the queerest thing" laughed the
matron afterwnrd, "was that neither of
lis resented not being presented TO his

A CITY WITH NO TAXEs.
Glasgow Proposes to Raise It's Revenue
From Franchises it Grants.

1t is said that the city of Glasgow will
levy no taxes after january /, 1897; that
its entire income is to be derived from
public works now in it's own possession
There is cheer for other municipali-
ties in this announcement, but for Chi
cago,at least, there is no present prospect
of IL realization of the Glasgow ideal.
From the conptroller's statement it APP
pears that the total receipts of this city
for 1898 were something over $50, 600, 600.
OF this amount over Sl1 ,600,0 900 came
from the tax levy. If the city owned all
the gas plants and all the street railways,
the income from them would not be one
half of this sum. In 1895 the net earn
ings of the three great street railway
systems amounted to S3,30S, l02. Nobody
on the outside knows just what the gas
companies earn, but from what is known
of their capital stock and the declaration
of dividends, it is probable that their net
earnings are in the neighborhood OF So.

Glasgow is less than half the size of
Chicago, and its growth has been much
slower. Its affairs are run upon business
principles and are not tainted by spells
politics. Hence, it was better prepared
to face complications, and had fewer COM
plications to face. But if we may not
follow its example in all respects we may
learn of it and govern ourselves accord
ingly when new applicants appear for
public favors 1t should be an inviola-
BILE rule with us never to give away fran
chiSeS without adequate compensation
and, perhaps, when it comes to the re-
newal OF street Cur grants, in the not far
distant future, the Glasgow plan may be
cited with effect during the course of the
negotlationS.-Chi Journal.

ATHLETICS IN WOMEN'S SCHOOLS
AND COLLEGES IN ENGLAND.
(From Harper's Bazaar.)

The women of England seem to take
naturally to sport and the things of the
field, and from their childhood up they
are at home out-of-doors. 1t is not nee.
essary to spur the student to exercise as
assiduously as in America, but every
means for strengthening their physique
that is possible is given them, and not
only is their exercise made pleasant, but
much is done besides to benefit them
physically.

20 degrees, and the girls usually live III a
cooler atmosphere.
The students dress warmly in and out
doors, but as they are never in an over
heated atmosphere, and rs they spend so
much of their time exercising in the open
air, they have good circulation, and they
do not feel the cold. When they are not

they live as much rs possible out-of-doors

Manager Cutler thinks there is
good prospects for factory to be
built in Weber county if the sugar
question is settled. There must
be some protection against foreign
countries that pay export bounty.
The present ad yalorum duty of
the United States is only a farce
as it permits under valuation and
does not accomplish its end by
about half of the duty levied,
The need OF the manufactures is
specific duty and State or
government bonus to induce
capitalists to invest. MIR. Cutler
advocates aibounty on a. sliding
scale say of ia cents pound the
first year, I cent the second year
and q cent the third year when it
should cease. No factory can
start and jump to success, under
the most favorable conditions,
even with the aid Of bounty.
