There is No Death" /"

There is no death" So claim the
Swedenborgians and those of the Spirit
uaiist faith. 1t is merely going to sleep
and awaken intosa more perfect life.
The sables of mourning do not figure
when one of their number has passed
away. There are nc tears, no lamenta-
tions for the one who has aecended into
higher life leaving the cares and dis
appointments that have made their
pathway here on earth anything but a
fiowery one. This is only a sojourning
place for season, the true life begins
when they have crossed the river
"Styx." There was funeral in San
Francisco the other day that will be re-
membered by those who attended it for
many long day and connected with it
will be only the most beautiful thoughts.
A lovely girl OF about eighteen summers,
robed in white, lay in her coffin which
was covered with lavender plush and
lined with white satin. A wealth of
flowers surrounded the casket and only
white roses, smilax, maiden-hair and
white and lavender sweet peas were
used. All the solnberness of death was
removed. The friends talked quietly
and lovingly of the quiet sleeper. They
told OF her many virtues and spoke OF
the higher life che had entered, and how
rapid would be her advancement. There
were no tears except by the parents OF
the one who lay at rest. They mourned
because the old life would be so desolate
without her, SO much OF the brightness
having gone out with her into her higher
sphere. They called it selfish love that
would wish to keep her here. Then the
services began. No minor chords were
touched, but triumphant songs-melo-
dies of pure joy, were sung. The minis
ter dwelt not on the awfulness of death,
but on the lovely life of the friend who
had gone over" and of the rejoicing Of
the friends that she had come to dwell
in the land beautiful. The family were
rot attired in mourning. The sisters
were dressed in white; one carried a bo-
| quet Of white sweet peas and the other a
| bouquet of lavender, sweet peas and
maiden-hair which were laid on the
casket just before 1t was lowered into it,
last resting place The mother wore a
| plain black dress with white illusion
around the neck. You might have
thought it was wedding but for the
lavender casket and the beautiful girl
who lay asleep in it, Heaven seemed
| ',y near and lhe way to reach the gates

DIES IN BED.
And tnder His Pillow Are Found
Several whisky bottles

John Brown, who has figured in numer-
GUS police stories, owing TO his affection
for Mrs. George Lavigne. was found dead
in bed over Dahrs barn. rear of SO First
avenue south, yesterday morning. Under
his pillow were whisky bottles. Deputy
Coroner Yandell decided that death was
due TO alcoholism.
AS long as Mr.. and Mrs. T.av.gne lived
together Brown was in trouble. one even
Brown and Mrs. Lavigne were chatting
together over q pail of beer, when Mr..
Lavigne came home unexpectedly and
went for Mr.. Brown with long knife
Tables. chairs, beer and n stove were
mixed W in Wild confusion when the
clouds raised.
Mr.. Brown had been carved IN most
artistic manner. He recovered quickly
and was soon caught playing Romeo and
juliet with Mrs. Lavigne. Detective
Powers captured the redoubtable Brown
on the roof, hiding behind q chimney with
a pail Of beer.
> One day Brown was In the police court
for some minor offense. His opponent
made long speech. and Brown destroyed
its effect by bobb:ng up and saying: Your
honor. this man can make better speech
than / because he has had more practice"
No one viii ever know what Browns
true name was. He once told the writer
that he did not care 10 have his people
know what had become OF him.

The British Columbia. Seattle & Pacific
Coast Railway Company has signfied It's
formal acceptance OF the conditions IN
posed by the city council in the ordinance
granting the company its franchise ana
right OF way through the city. II the
company stands by It's pledges, as there
is every reason TO believe 1t Will. work
vii. be begun promptly. and by Noveni-
Der /, 1899, there will be new and indie
pendent line between Seattle and Port
land
Seattle men WAC are In position 10 know
say the Eastern capitalists who are back
ing the company have plenty OF money.
That they mean business Is shown by
their prompt acceptance OF all the condi-
tons laid down by the city council.
The advantages which the road will az
ford to Seattle have already been pointed
out in the Post-Intelligencer, and a map
and description OF the route through the
city have also been published. When
completed the road will afford two trans
continental roads entrance to this city.
viz, the Canadian Pacific from the north
and the Union Pacific from the south.
From the fact that the Vanderbilts have
strong holdings and important connec-
tons with both these lines, many people
believe they are silent partners IN the
construction of the new road.
The formal acceptance of the company.
fled yesterday, is as follows:
New York City, May 20. 1898.
ITO the mayor and common council OF
the city of Seattle.
Gentlemen: We are pleased 20 ac-
knowledge the receipt of the information
cf me passage of ordinance No. 1910. and
beg to accept the same subject TO all the
covenants, terms and conditions therein
contained. Respectfully yours.

The original ordinance, framed by coun-
sci for the company, did not suit the
council, and several amendments were in
corporated in 1t. Among the more strin-
gent conditions imposed by the ordinance
in its present form are these: The COM

street intersections and keep them in con-
slant repair: it must light its own cross
ings: must complete its road between Sc
attic and Portland by November. 1899, and
guarantee that it Is an independent line;
it must defend all damage suits which
may be brought against the city on ac-
count of defective tracks. inefficient train
service or other causes which may result
in injury or death to man or beast, and
must pay al judgments growing out of
such suits.
Maurice McMcken, who represents the
company here. stated that work would be-
gin promptly upon the acceptance of the
franchise by the company, and that two
parties would be put in the field within
two weeks from the passage OF the ordi-
nance, one to survey and the other to
work out the right of way problem.

the roads from this state have even more
