PAGAN AND CHRISTIAN IDEAS OF
DEATH
Mr.. Carver Lectures on Greek Tomb
stones-To Increase Influence Of So
ciety Of Anuquity-A Woman's Club
Within the Society-ReYolutiona
Pictures to Come Here.

Tombstones are not, generally speak
ing, hilarious topic for either discourse
or meditation, but that Greek tomb
stones offer material for delightful
lecture was made clear Friday night
when Rev. Austin S. Carver addressed
large audience in the Yestry of the
First Unitarian Church upon this subject,
under the auspices of the Lend Hand
Club. The lecture was illustrated with a
profusion of stereopticon views. and
many of the stones thus shown were
remarkable for the loveliness of their
sentiments and the grace and dignity of
their figures Among the pictures were
several of the beehive tombs and of the
circle of tombs at Mycenae, discovered
by Schliemann and by him regarded as
the tombs of ancient kings. The Ike
ness between some of the bas-reliefs
found here and certain others found in
Nineyeh Mr. Carver regarded as strik-
ing.
An interesting point about the decora-
tion of the tombs was the symbolic use
to which the sphinx and the pomegran-
ate had been put. The idea of the
sphinx was brought over from Egypt.
but in Greek hands it came to stand
first. for the mystery, then for the
gentleness, and finally for the wecom-
ing protection, of death. The pomegran-
ate was likewise the symbol of death,
and on many of the stones the only di-
rect suggestion of death is to be found
in a pomegranate' in the hand of one
Of the figures
OF all Greek tombstones, the Spartan
convey the most suggestion of futurc
look, but nowhere is there any sign of
the Christian conception of death as h
cruel blight. Some of the stones port
ray the persons whom they commemor-
ate in the familiar almost trivial occu-
pations of life, others consist of family
groups over which a sense of peace and
confidence broods, and in which the only
tokens of death are in the apparent
preparations for a journey. the hand
shaking and the intensity of look on the
countenances. Nothing more antipodal
TO the Christian thought Of death could
be imagined, and by way of emphasiz 4.

A MURDER AT STAMFORD.
Inmate of AImshouse Kills supt. Parker
With Iron Bar.

Stamford, Conn, Feb. 11.-James
Parker, superintendent of the aims
house, was murdered this morning, it
is believed, by Mrs. Bridget Drought, an
old woman, who for many years has
been an inmate of the almshouse.
Mrs. Drought is about So years of age
and is of quarrelsome nature, though.
however, has usually been considered
harmless. This forenoon she became in
volved in a quarrel with Mary Kelley,
another inmate, over a trivial affair, and
the matter took on a character which
rendered necessary the interference OF
attendants. Superintendent Parker
undertook TO quiet the Drought woman
1t is said, but was not successful.
Finally he took the Kelley woman
from the room. Quite a scuffie ensued,
and just before he had succeeded in re-
moving her, the story is that Mrs.
Drought grasped a heavy iron bar,
which happened to be near by, and,
stealing UP behind the superintendent
dealt him wicked blow on the head.
The man sank to the floor where he re-
mained apparently lifeless.
An examination revealed the fact that
he was dead death having been instan-
taneous. The only mark which appears
upon the body is bruise back of the
ear. Mrs. Drought was put under re-
straint,> She is believed to be insane
Mr.. Parker was 81 years of age, and
was prominently known in the town
He leaves a widow, his second wife, and

leaves Premier Sagasta small pretext
upon which to base requests for further
time in which to test his autonomy pol
icy, and it also affords argument to the
United States government for refusing
it, provided 1t be acknowledged that our
interests require interference when
Spain's impotency is demonstrated. Then
the ex-ministers remarks throw grave
doubt upon the sincerity of the negotia-
tions for a commercial treaty, and Yir-
tually characterize the measure as a
makeshift for the purpose of gaining
time. This puts our government in the
position of a dupe and casts suspicion
upon all future negotiations. The as
sertion that De Lome's letter had been
shown to Consul General Lee in Hav-
ana, and that its contents had been
cabled to Washington in cipher, even
before it was published in the papers, is
given as one reason for the prompt ac-
ton of the administration. 1t might al
so be cited as proof of the moderation
with which the president has acted in
all matters appertaining to the Cuban
quarrel If De Lome's boast is made
good, that his resignation will result in
the downfall of the Sagasta ministry
and his own elevation to the office OF
minister of state in a conservative cab
met, there may be other complications
ahead
