BURIAL PLANS APPROVED.
Health Department of New York Sanctions
High Bridge MausoIeum.

New York, June 12.-The sanitary COM
mittee of the health department. yesterday
approved the plans of the new mausoleum
company for the establishment of
mausoleum near High Bridge The maui
solemn is to have a capacity of from 10000
to IL, 600 bodies. 1t is proposed to entomb
the dead in cement receptacles. The bodies
are to be exposed for several days to a
current of air made chemically dry by
passing 1T over sulphuric acid, the air
to be purified afterwards by fire. When the
body is thoroughly dessicated the recep-
table is to be made air tight. The
company submitted dozen plans to the
health board of which were approved
BY the sanitary committee, and on next
Tuesday the whole board will pass upon
the scheme. A portion of the proposed
mausoleum will be arranged for families.
Some of these family compartments will
range in cost as high as SAC, 900. There
will also be chapel in which funeral
ceremonies may be held. One of the adj
vantages claimed for the new system is
that of security against grave robbers.
1t is said that coffin makers and under
takers are opposed to the scheme.

ton has been to the effect that nothing
but the tuberculin test was good for any
thing. They have prescribed it for all
cattle brought into the state from Massa-
chusetts and it has been prescribed for all
cattle sent from Maine to Massachusetts,
We believe that the position of the cattle
commissioners in this matter is in accor-
dance with that of all veterinarians
who have given the subject study. If
then the injection of tuberculin is the
only way to surely determine the exis-
tence of tuberculosis-if physical ex-
animation is unreliable-there is the best
OF reasons why the tuberculin test should
be definitely and specifically prescribed,
as is done in the order of the Portland
board Of health. To leave out that test
and to make it possible for a milkman
to get certificate when his COWS have
oeen subjected to nothing but physical
examination is, if what the Maine cattle
commission has been telling the public
be true, to give the consumer a false
sense of security which is worse than
nothing because it throws him off his
guard and leads him to neglect precau-
lions which he otherwise might take
for himself Perhaps there is no OBJ
lection to modifying the order so as to ac-
cept the certificates of the Maine cattle
commission, but to modify it so as to &C
cept purely physical examination is to
destroy its value. There is just as much
legal sanction behind the order of the
Portland board of health as there is be-
hind that of the Westbrook board, and
we cannot see any reason why the Port
land board should yield any of its es-
sentials. We are not in favor of placing
any unnecessary or unreasonable restric-
lions upon the milkmen, but the con-
sulners have rights as well as the produ-
GERS. Furthermore we believe an in
telligent farmer who carefully considers
the matter will prefer to have a test ap-
pied that is practically unerring and
that will determine the existence of the
disease in season to save his whole herd
from infection, rather than purely
physical examination which may or may
not discover the disease and which will
cost him just as much probably as the
efficient test.

Mexican Healer Goes to Arizona,

Ell Paso, Tex, June 12.-Santa Teresa,
the Mexican girl who was banished from
Mexico five years ago because of her
wonderful cures and power over the Mexi
cans, left here yesterday for Morenci,
Ari., after a residence of one year in Ell
Paso. Santa Teresa drove to the station
accompanied by her father and three
armed men. The Mexican women, men
and children crowded around the young
woman, kissing her hands, her shawl
or any part of her garments they could
reach. When asked why the armed men
were there Santa Teresa's father said that
officers of the Mexican government had
been acting as if they intended to kid
nap her. 1t is known that last fall Presi-
dent Diaz sent special envoy to FL
Paso to invite Santa Teresa to visit Mexi-
co under the protection of the Mexican
government, but the government accuses
the girl with being responsible for sew
eral revolutionary movements in Mexico
and she declined to accept the invitation.
Santa Teresa stated that she had healed
not less than 5000 people during her stay
in Ell Pasco, and that she accepted no
pay for her services. She was going to
place where her father could work in the
mines and she would not be in hourly
dread of being kidnapped.

New York, June 12.-Several attempts
were made this afternoon to get Hon. W.
J. Bryan to speak about the local political
situation in New York but he evaded all
questions He said he had called on John
@. Sheehan at his office, but all he would
say about the object of his call was that
they did not discuss local politics. He
said he did not care to mix in New YORK
city politics and he did not think 1T
would be proper thing for him to go
about the country and tell people how to
run their local affairs in every town.
/. Mr. Bryan also rather avoided the dis
cusslon OF national politics, but he did
say that so far as he was able to judge
from what he had heard, the predicted
return OF prosperity had not come. He
thought the prospects for Democratic sue
cess next fall were very good and that
there had been a growth Of silver senti-
ment here and elsewhere.
A delegation from the Progressive
Democratic league called on Mr.. Bryan
ana asked him to stay over and address
the mass meeting in Union square to-
morrow night to advocate the municipal
ownership of franchises. Mr.. Bryan said
that he had engagements elsewhere and
he thought the question to be discussed
was a local one in which he ought not to
interfere
Mr.. Bryan left for Washington tonight.

1t is said that the committee of the
city government will suggest to the board
of health a change of their recent milk
order to conform to that recently issued
by the city of Westbrook, which forbids
the sale in, that city of any milk, except
sterilized milk or cream. unless the COW
from which such milk has been taken
shall have first been examined by the
board Of cattle commissioners or by some
veterinarian appointed by them or ap-
pointed by the board of mayor and alder
men, or approved by the board, and GER
tificate filed by the examiner with the
secretary of the board of health, showing
that. such cow is free from disease The
marked difference between this order and
that of the Portland board of health is
that this one does not prescribe specifical-
ly the tuberculin test. Now the experts
of the Maine cattle commission have
been telling the public for several years
Iast that the existence of tuberculosis in
the COW could not in a great many cases
be discovered except by that test They
have repeatedly said that a COW might be
fat and sleek and apparently healthy
and yet be affected with tuberculosis in
its advanced stage. Their whole conten-

Inns, who has just relinquished the office
of consul general at London to Gen. Will

Gen. Collins said today that he did not

favorable sentiment was never weaker

the commission from the United States

The suggestion contained in our Wash
ington despatch that the appointment of
currency commission will encounter
violent opposition in the Senate is I'M
doubtedly well founded. As the Senate
is now made up there are probably nearly
If not quite, as many advocates of free
silver as of the gold standard, and this
means that there will be very vigorous
resistance to allowing President Nc
Kinley to appoint currency commission,
the majority of members of which shall
be sound money men so called-and a
vigorous resistance in body without
means of limiting debate is pretty likely
to accomplish the defeat of the measure,
or its indefinite postponement. In all
probability the tariff bill will not become
law before the first Of August, SO that
the currency commission can not be taken
up before that.,time. If the speedy passage
of bill for such a commission were
assured there would not only be no OBJ
lection to its consideration, but it would
be wise to take it up and press it to
vote But with the prospect of several
months debate before it, and grave I'M
certainty as to the result, the question
naturally arises if it would not be better
for the country to postpone it until the
regular session of Congress which begins
in December The settlement of the
TARIFF question will be great relief to
business men by removing the existing
uncertainty, and if no other disturbing
factor makes its appearance there will
be undoubtedly revival of business.
But if there follows Immediately on the
heels of this settlement q protracted de-
bate upon the currency, in which all sorts
of financial heresies get an airing, there is
great danger that confidence will be dis
turbed and the business revival greatly
retarded. There is no danger of any seri-
GUS change in our present financial
system while Mckinley occupies the presi.
Dental chair. He is pledged to maintain
the existing system, and beyond all ques-
ton he will be able to do it. There are
reforms needed in our currency system.
but they are not of vital kind. They
are not.of SO much Importance that some
delay in their achievement will material
ly affect business. But there is danger
that the prolonging of the session of
Congress, with a bitter debate on silver
which is almost certain to take place.
may to large extent neutralize the good
effects that ought to follow upon the sub
stitution of certainty for uncertainty by
the passage of the tariff bill.
