Cremation Not Yet Popular.

The growth of cremation in Massa-
chusetts has been slow. The Massa-
chusctts Cremation society began the
cremation OF bodies Jan. 4, 1894, and
in that year 81 bodies were thus dis
posed of, some Of them having been
held for cremation from the last
months o. the preceding year. This
year 50 bodies have been cremated
With a few Exceptions the stock
holders Of the Massachusetts society
who have died within the past two
years have had their bodies crematel.
OF the ~ cremations hy the Mass
Nchnsetts society, however, only few
were OF bodies Of stockholders. Look
ing over the list Of those cremated
within the past year one finds that all
ages and classes we're represented, and
that more women than men were ere
mated. Two or three well-known
clergymeD, Among them Rev. O. B.
rockingham, we're crcmated; and
among others may be mentioned the
son Of Dr. LeMoyne, who wns the
first to start cremation in America. 1t
is notable, also, that the body of ono
Catholic has thus been disposed
of this year. The first crema-
tory in this country was erect
ed in Washington, Penn, in
1875 and during the first decade only
36 bodies were cremated. Ten years
ogo the interdict was removed, crema-
ton now being sanctioned where the
priest consents. Among the bodies
c:cmated bv the Massachusetts society
Were those of several persons who had
! died from contagious and malignant
diseases. 1t is not necessary under
the method employed at the Forest
Hills cemetery, to take the bodies
from the coffin, an advantage which
'can be plainly understood in the cases
of persons who have died from con-
] tngious diseases.

it is in great many other directions,

idea. He says: "The most whole

Southern mother does not explain the
Bible to her children in the light of
SO called modern teachings; she
places it in their hands as her mother

BOSTON LETTER.
SPECIAL coEEEsroxDExcr. ?
Rather Like #.

The introduction of the Dngicy
bill with It's duties on wool has been
received with general satisfaction by
wool men in Boston, although under
ordinary circumstances the tariff
would not affect them one way or an
other. since they are merely handlers
and not producers or manufacturers.
But under existing circumstances u
probable increase in price means
greater activity in the market for
domestic stock and an increase in
profits, 50 that the Immediate passage
OF the bill is hoped for. ''Hhe mere
introduction of the hIil has served To
give an impetus tp the wool market,
and should il become law the dealers
would benefit still further by the
increase IN prices sure to follow.
Ordinarily the dealers would be litiie
affected. but with wool at it, present
prices, 50 low that they cannot go
any lower, an increase IN price means
disposition Of stocks on hand 1T an
increased profit as we'll as the pros
meet of better trade in the future.
The manufacturers are specially
pleased with the bilj, because of the
provision giving them IA compcnsa-
tory duty on manufactures of wool.
Ii has not been so much the removal

tactaras OF it to which they have OBJ
jectcd, and now they will get better

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The fact that the Monroe doctrine is
the outcome of a suggestion made by
an English prime minister is brought
out with admirable clearness and brew.
ity in communication lately made to
San Francisco interviewer by ColoaeI
Johu S. Mosby, distinguished local
lawyer, who also attained great celeb.
ity as u leader of cavalry in the Amer.
ican war. Colonel Mosby has been de-
scribed as the Prince Rupert Of the
Southern army. and is still highly re.
spected as a man of great nobility OF
character and manliness of disposition.
He will be remembered by many Eng-
lish visitors to the East SIS American
consul at Hong-koug in the early
eighties.
The communication referred to is as
follows:
George Canning, a former prime
minister of England, is the real author
of the Monroe doctrine. In 1928 Eng
land was fighting the holy alliance,
which mad issued circular announc.
ing crusade against free in-
stitutions all over the world.
At the instigation Of Mr.. Can
niDg, President Monroe embodied
declaia alton in his message to Con-
gress that any attempt on the part Of
the holy alliance to carry ont its de-
signs on this continent would be con.
sidered an unfgiendly act towards the
government of the United States.
'But the holy alliance has long ago
been dissolved, and there is no such
danger now menacing our institutions.
The holy alliance had proclaimed its
purpose to establish absolute govern
ments all over the world, and to sup.
press any uprising in favor of popular
i lstitutions, aud it was against the holy
alliance that President Monroe fulmi-
mated his now famous proclamation.
''It is perfectly absurd to announce
that if England should take possession
Of little strip of territory on The OIi-
noco ii would be menace 10 our in
stitutions, when England already
has Canada on our northern
frontier and Jamaica and Trinidad in
the Gulf of Mexico. 1t would be no
more menace to Us than If she were
to take possession Of gold fields n
Africa. What constitutes menace s
a question of fact and not of law.
@"Mr. Calhoun was in President
Monroe's Cabinet at the time when
this declaration was made, and If any
one would read his speech on tie Yu-
catan question he will see how utterly
President Cleveland has perverted aud
misinterpreted Mr.. Monroe's message.
The United States had about 1000 600
people at that time and now has about
100000 and no man outside Of lu-
natic asylum can believe that tie
occupation of this little strip Of terri
tory on the Orinoco by England can
endanger the United States. London
