ed by number Of physicians who were
interested in it.
funeral service was held over the
body prior to the incineration in St
Clements Protestant Episcopal church
at Portland avenue and Milton street
The service was conducted by the Rev.
Ernest Dray. rector of the church, as
sisted by the choir. Mr.. Dray made a
brief address, in the course of which
he said that though the state Of the
dead was problematicaI, Christians had
reason to believe the future was a
conscious existence. He quoted Christ's
words to the thief upon the cross: '"This
day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise
as q promise and assurance of consci-
BUSINESS after death.
Immediately after the service the
body was taken to the crematory Whare
Supt. Anthony Ambrosini had every
thing prepared for its reception.
The body was accompanied by the
immediate relatives of Mr.. Dietz and
delegations from the Royal Arcanum
and Minnewaska Tribe of Red Men
The casket was borne into the NOR
tuary chapel, where Mr. Dray offered
prayer and read the commitment ser
vice, and then the members Of the fam
lily departed.
AS soon as the mourners had gone
Supt. Ambrosini assisted by Under
taker Theodore Bunker. started the en-
gine and heated the retort. In & short
time the furnace was filled with roar
ing flame, and at the proper time the
casket was rolled to the iron doors and
pushed into the receptacle. AS soon
a the doors were closed the engine wa
set going at high speed and torches
soaked in gasoline were lighted and
applied to the casket to assist the fire
already raging in its work of destruc-
ton.
The casket was of heavy oak. but il
was but few moments when it was ir
a blaze. The spectators were able to
watch the incineration through peep
holes in the side of the retort
Within ten minutes the top of the
casket was reduced to ashes whict
quickly went up in smoke, and a sh n
time after the sides of the casket fell
outwards. The heat in the retort was
terrific. beine 1900 degrees Farenheit
Gradually the flames did their work
until the skeleton was reduced to whit
ashes. These will be gathered up this
morning and placed in a handsome Urn
and presented to the widow
The incineration was witnessed bv
Drs. S. w. Robillard. E. A. BourcharFt
f. H. Whitcomb, f. F. Horst. II. N
Beals and Arthur w. Miller.
They were all very much pleased WITH
1t. though they did not agree as to the
desirability of cremation rather than
burial.
There was not the slightest odor dur
ing the cremation. as the crematory is
provided with every facility to obviate

Mr. Dietz wanted to be cremated be-
cause he visited the crematory at Mil
waukee and became converted to that
method of disposal there.

As the time for the political campaign

before they are held. The present in
tention of the party leaders is to hold
the primaries April and the conven-
tion the following day.
Another question for the Republicans
to decide is the number of delegates
to be allotted to the convention If
the appOrtiOnment is based upon the
vote for Mckinley there will be 331
delegates, but if the vote for Clough
is taken there will be only BOG delegates
and the First ward will have but a
dozen delegates.
it is likely that the Mckinley vote
will be the standard of representation,
for the more delegates, the more noise
At any rate the coming convention will
be larger than the last

Crowded House at the MetrcpoI-
itan Witnesses One of the Mast
EnioyabiR Programmes Ever
Given by ST. Paul Lodge-Tha
Cake Walk the Crov.ning Event.
1t is not eztravagant praise TO say
that when the curtain rose at the Met
rOpGlitan last night there was
shown TO the immense audience an ar
ray OF talent not equaled by very
many of the professional companies
which come to this city.
1t was sure enough Elks' night, and
the many friends of Lodge 50 turned
cut in royal style to show their appre-
ciatior Of the work which had been
done for their edification The theater
was filled to the last seat.
From the big opening chorus in the
first part in which some wonderfully
good choral effects were secured, the
succeeding numbers grew better and
better. until the whole evening ended
in blaze of black and blue and pink
glory, and the funniest cakeWalk ever
pulled off in the town.
The music under the baton of Emil
OberhCffer was so we'll directed that it
nearly escaped notice save as part OF
the successful ensemble.
Lou Wilkes added, if possible to his
laurels as king pin of the first part,
and his merry quips and rotund figure,
helped his bones and tambos, and kept
the audience in good humor.
To Fisher II. Tenney must be given
the credit for the very expeditions
manner in which the different attrac-
tions were brought on, staged and pre-
sented to the audience. The first part
opened with everybody on the stage
singing the spirited chorus from Sou
sas lei Captain The choral effect
was great, and there was some disap-
pointment that, with such excellent
material, there was not more choral
work 81
With Wilkes in the middle and Har-
ry Davis and Ruba Hallett on the ends
of the semircirclet gags were sprung
and songs were sung.
The intricate seXtette from Lucia
di Lammermoor" was given with much
effect s
In the second division, Davis and
Hallett on the ENDS gave way 10 w J.
Tompkins and F.bH. Tenney, and the
fun continued. Both sang songs, as
did also Gus Zenzius, Albert Berg, John
Gehan, W. F. and ]. c. Myron and
the Euterpe quartette, consisting Of
Mrs. Yale, Mrs. Harris, Misses Maud
Burdette and Beulah Baker. These la
dies sang Lacme's Estudiantina. -
with orchestra accompaniment, and re-
sponded to a we'll merited encore with
''There'll Be a Hot Time in Old Town

on him a few days ago in the interests
Of c. S. Schurman, of the West st.

made the hardest kind of a fight for
Doran. He even went so far as to
print a very bad cut Of the mayor
and label 1t the grand old man.
well, the delegation informed Doran
that we wanted Schurman put on the
board of public works in place of Bob
Hare. Doran said, If the delegation in
sisted. why he would have to give
Schurman the place. All but two of
the twenty men in the delegation de-
clared for Schurman. and then Doran
weakened on his proposition, and said

nomination II he had to name Schur-
man.

red up the Doran strikers in good
shape" said First ward politician last
evening
John Copeland. of the board of pub
lie works. who has promised Doran the
delegation from the ward in the con-
Vention, has been hustling ever since
the meeting. Yesterday he drew up a
document to the effect that the action
taken at the meeting was repudiated
and instructed Abstract Clerk Sho-
green. of the ward, to secure the names
CT all the precinct committeeman in
the ward to the paper.
Il rather think Shogreen will have
q hard time to get the signatures, but
he is making a hustle and will prob
ably land some of them. You know
Copeland don't carry as much inf1u-
ence in the First ward as he thinks he
does, and when the delegates to the

be willing to admit that he is a back
number"

a short speech. urging all factions of
the party to work together in harmony
this spring. He said it would only be
necessary to nominate good candidates
and unite upon their support 70 restore
the Democratic party to power in ST
Paul
A call of the roll showed that every
precinct in the ward was represented
and it was determined to send commit
tees out into the highways and byways
Of the ward to gather in every Demo-
cratic voter
Frank Baer was called upon for a.
speech and he indorsed President
Smiths advice to unite. The Repub-
Gcan party, he said. had proved itself
thoroughly incompetent to manage the
affairs of the city, and the time was
ripe for change. If the Democrats
would only pull together. the city would
surely be rid of the so-called reform
administration. Democrats would have
no cause to worry for the result, if
they simply dropped all differences and
worked for the success of the party as
a whole.
The club will meet again on Satur-
day night next in a hall to be selected

 Roderlgo was let up and sullenly ac- companied the officers to jail, but he was still in fighting mood, as his subsequent action proved On arriving at the jail he was placed back of the rail in the Sheriff's office. While the Sheriff was bending over unlocking the safe the des- perate man snatched a pistol from the officers coat pocket and leveled it at him. The Sheriff suddenly wheeled, at the same time delivering a blow which took Roderigo unawares, felling him.
