Strangely Delayed Reforms.

If it were possible to get at the facts,
we think it would be found that the an
nouncement Of Mrs. Greenhalges veto
Of the proposed Lying in state ar
rangements was read with hearty SYM
pathy and approval by at least ninety
out of every hundred educated men and
women in the country. 1t was very
proper and right that Massachusetts
should desire to do honor, in all suit
able ways, to the memory of her noble
Governor. But the making a public
show of the faces of the illustrious dead
is a practice which we have inherited
from ruder, less civilized days, and
which perpetuates itself by sheer force
of tradition and usage. There is really
not word to be said for it. 1t is re-
pugnant to right feeling, it adds a fresh
bitterness to the pain of bereavement,
1t serves no purpose except the gratifi-
cation of a morbid curiosity. 1t should
be done away with altogether The
twentieth century should know of 1t
only by report.
With it should disappear several
other like survivals Of a coarser past.
One of these is the CHASTITY scene in the
ordinary American funeral service

of the coffin, busies himself there for a
dreadful minute or two, and then makes

the familiar announcement: AN oppor-

neral address, in which preachers of the
emotional kind so often ingeniously
harrow the grief Of the survivors under
the pretexts of sympathy and consola-
ton. Another is the dolorous Journey
OF the women and young girls of the be-
reaved family to the cemetery and their
presence during the last, supremely
trying moments at the graveside-often
in pouring rain or driving sleet.

Albert Chevalier, the coster singer,
tells a good story on himself. He was
playing an old mans part at the
Gaiety Theater London, when youth

cast. One night his cue entirely slipped
his memory Looking towards the
prompter's entrance he saw Irving,
Bancroft, David James, Miss Terry and
other celebrities looking on. He was un-
able to utter a word. Standing speech
less and embarrassed on the stage the
raw lad was greeted with tremendous
round of applause After it had SUBJ
sided he got on famously. When the
performance was over he anXiously
awaited the Kendals' verdict. You
were bit uncertain in your lines, SAID
Mr.. Kendall; Gin fact, at one time you
stopped dead" "Yes," said Chevalier,
but I was all right after 1 got that
round of applause" MY dear young
ster," Kendall said, "that round OF ap-
plause commenced when the Prince OF
