THE JOUR DIES morris IN PARIS.
It Costs $4,000 Month for Flowers
for Young Machay's Tomb.
(The end.)

It Costs 900 a Month for Flowers
for Young Machay's Tomb.
Winter has come upon Paris in it's
most unpleasant form-that of icy driz-
zie 1t interfered on Sunday with pill
grimages to the cemeteries, says cor
respondent of the London Daily News.
Tens of thousands wendell their way
there in the morning before the rain
began to fall. The graves were less
richly decorated with flowers than
usual. This season chrysanthemums
are more than twice the price they
were last winter. The long drought
interfered with the growth of these
flowers The intramural cemeteries
are the most adorned. A perpetual
grave of two square yards now costs
6 AZ, and one of ten yards G840. Rich
people only can lie there, and nobody
is sure that they will not be disturbed.
The city has right to run new thor
oughfare across a cemetery without
giving compensation, but it must bear
the expense of transporting the re-
mains and rebuilding the tombS. The
tomb of Marie Bashkirtshef at PaSsy
was one of the sights of the day, orna-
mented with white chrysanthemums
that looked soft as falling snowfakes.
M. Theirs tomb, which is also that of
Nine Theirs and her mother, was re-
markable for it's wealth of fresh roses.
Nine. Dosne devotes her time and
much of her fortune to a rose garden
and greenhouses to keep this grave per-
petually covered with flowers, but she
is most lavish on the Jour des Morris.
The coffin of the late Mr.. j. w. Mack
ay, now lying in vault of ST. Angus
tins church, was not to be seen. 1t
will be transported to Greenwood ceme-
terry, United States, when Mrs Mackay
has recovered strength enough to at
tend the second funeral. Meanwhile a
florist contracts to keep the vault deco
rated with flowers at the cost of 6 900
a month. The family, on their side.
constantly send choice flowers.

The Postal staff and the Cats.

The cats are invariably treated with
great kindness by the postal staff.
Kittens are born in all sorts of odd cor
ners, even occasionally under desk
or table in the sorting office. One cat
has successfully reared during the
present year family of six in the regis
tered letter department, but this, of
course, is exceptional. They are gen
orally born in the kitchens, as there
are plenty of old wornout coats about
which makes comfortable bed. AS
soon as they are old enough some one
requiring a cat takes one home to the
domestic hearth. There is often a keen
struggle for their possession and a
man will feed both mother and kitten
on milk and watch them with anxious
eye, only to find in the end that he is a
day too late, some one having fore
stalled him and disappeared with the
coveted pet Westminster Gazette.

Merit Means Money Made.

You cannot advertise money out of peo-
pies pockets all the tire: you may 10 it
now and then but if you don't give them
something of absolute merit in return,
advertising will never prove successful.
The kind of advertising that pays is ad-
vertising a good thing. AS it has merit
the people will use it again and again.
Never has this been better illustrated
than in the great success of Cascarets
candy cathartic, that we have been lately
advertising in this paper. All druggists
call Cascarets repeaters: that is, people
who Euy them like them, and buy
them again and recommend them to
their friends. Cascarets are guaranteed
to cure constipation or money refunded,
and are a delightful laxative az d liver
stimulant; the best medicine ever made.
We recommend all our readrs to try
them.

An opinion was handed the Commission
ers yesterday by Acting Health Officer
Mclean relative to the request recently
made by s. o. Bayly, representing Joshua
n. Warfieid, garbage contractor, for per-
mission to dump garbage on the Sweeny
wharf, in the District, about 100 yards
from the Maryland line on the Potomac
River. Mr.. Mclean recommends that the
contractors request be denied, and gives
the following reasons:
'Inasmuch as the contract now existing
between the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia and Joshua n. Warfield for
the collection and disposal of all garbage
and dead animals by cremation. and that
said contract as modified March /, 1898,
requires that all garbage shall be trans
ported down the Potomac or disposed of
at point, or points, below the District,
| deem 1t unwise TO grant said contractor
permission TO deliver, even for limited
period, all or any part of the garbage
to anyone for deposit within the limits of
the District. / will add that for a long
time past it has been the uniform prac-
tice of this department, by and with the
consent of the Commissioners, TO confine
the issue of permits of private garbage
collectors TO such as will convey the same
beyond the boundaries of the District.
ITO permit the city garbage contractor
to daily dispose of refuse matter within
the District in this manner, and for the
purpose indicated. would in my judgment,
be establishing precedent that might
give rise in future to complications.
which a refusal of the request will avert
For the reasons herein cited and others
that can be advanced, l have the honor to
recommend that the contractors request
be denied
The manner in which the contractor de-
sired TO dispose OF the garbage is stated
in his letter to the Commissioners as fol-
lows:
Your attention is invited to the fact
that We have been requested by Mr..
Sweeny, who owns a farm on the Po-
tomac River just inside the District line.
to deliver TO him at his wharf, within 100
yards of the Maryland line. some gar
bage to be used on his truck farm as fer
tiiizer. Mr.. Sweeny says that the garbage
will be unloaded, hauled upon the land,
and plowed under as soon as delivered:
that his place is distant nearly mile
from any other residence; that no nui-
sance will be created; that he has the
necessary facilities for unloading scows
without polluting the river. and that in
the past the Commissioners have granted
a similar request which he availed him
self of, without complaint from any
source. We respectfully request perfnis-
sion TO deliver to Mr.. Sweeny the gar
bage he needs for the purpose indicated,
and we are satisfied that it will be so
handled as not TO create a nuisance nor
subject anyoae to the slightest incon-
venience"
