LIQUID AIR FOR CARNATIONS.
A Syndicate,s New Process for Incin
Grating Human Bodies.

Syndicate,s New Process for Incin
Grating Human Bodies.
New York, Aug. u.-Liquefed air is to
be used for the cremation of bodies.
cemetery near Nyack has been purchased
by syndicate In which are several we'll
known undertakers OF this city, who pro-
pose to locate there a crematory to utilize
this latest product of science. Its promot-
ers say that liquefied air will remove the
chief objection held by many TO cremation
the long time taken in the process of In
cineration.
The liquefed air is not to be applied di-
rectly, but will be used to furnish to an
electric furnace supply OF oxygen impos-
sible in present processes.
r. H. NJ. Dickinson and Eraskfne j. s.
Van Houten sold the Nyack Cemetery to
the syndicate on Tuesday last. II consists
OF twenty-five acres located On slope
facing the Hackensack Valley.
Representatives OF the syndicate, when
seen last night, said that the details OF
the projected crematory have not yet been
completed. A furnace of special design to
overcome certain mechanical difficulties
will have to be constructed.
Experts consulted on the subject. IL was
said were unanimous in pronouncfng the
general plan feasible. With the plant IN
| working order, the process OF incineration,
| it was said. would last only few minutes,
as the heat that may be obtained by using
| liquid air, il was said, Is second only TO
| that of the electric arc.
| Charles E. Tripler last night. at his
home, No. 40 West Seventy seventh Street,
! said that the use of liquid air for the Gre
nation of bodies was possible. His expe-
| riments in the combustion OF ores I'M
| mersed when red hot in liquid air and
various other tests had shown him that
| liquid air certainly has large field OF use
| as an oxidizing agent. While it does Lot
! reach the high temperature attained by the
| electric arc, it is greater than almost any
| other form of combustion known.
| Used in conjunction with an electric

| of incinerating the human body in a very
short space of time. AS for its being pos

MR.. ALTaELD EXPLAINS.
He Gives His Reasons for Opposing
Mr.. GOebel.

He Gives His Reasons for Opposing
Mr.. GOebel.
Chicago, Aug. lit is too early to
take any decided stand as to the situation
in Kentucky" said former Governor John
P. Altgeld, in commenting upon his recent
letter. Conditions not understood here
exist there, which might alter the situa-
tion materially"
Concerning the decision of William J..
Bryan to take the stump for Goebel. Mr..
Altgeld said: 81 regard Mr.. Bryan as an
correct Judgment as to what is the best
thing to be done for the party"
He explained his own action in opposing
the election Of Goebel on the ground that
he thought an Independent State ticket.
nominated by Democrats opposed to Goe-
bel would be the surest way of electing
Blackburn United States Senator. And
after ALL said he, that is the most i'm
portant thing to be considered.
Mr. Altgeld's argument was that the
more Democratic State tickets there are IN
the field the more Democratic votes VIII
turn out to vote for them, and as there Is
no factional fight on the legislative ticker
he believes more Democratic members oil
the legislature would be elected, thus In
suring a large majority to elect Black
burn United States Senator.
"As things are now," he said, "a large
number of Democrats who are not satishe1 j
with Goebel and the manner of his nomi-
nation might stay at home. This would
| take many votes away from the legislative
candidates and might result in the loss OF
Democratic members in close districts and
imperil the chance of securing majority
in the legislature. With two tickets in the
| field, however, all Democratic votes would
be brought out and the legislature will be
safe
Mr. Altgeld refused to discuss the re-
ported falling out between himself and Mr
Bryan, treating it as story too absurd
\ to be noticed.

Gomez on independence.
In an open letter, published in Havana,
Gen. Maximo Gomez says:

In an open letter, published in Havana
Gen. Maxine Gomez says:
IL is absolutely false that great differences
Isl between the Cubaps and the Spanards, or
between The Cubans and Americans, or among
the Cubans themselves. On the contrary, all is
going we'll. An old institution, the Cuban army,
is being dissolved; the people think only OF alb
soiute independence; a national party, which
opens its arms 10 receive all, without asking
questions as 10 where they were during the war,
IS being formed. More could not have been done
in 50 short a time. The impatient population
does not realize that ii Is not the work of day
10 organize society. Turbulence OF highly-stTung
minds must have time 10 alate in a people thirst
ing for independence and for liberty restrained
by national precepis There has been interven-
ton by foreign nation for the sake of peace;
and now the moment Is prOpltiouS. All who were
previously disunted should unite for the same
end, which is TO form council representing the
soul OF Cuba In the meantime the intervening
power will fulfill the obligations it has incurred
and the Cuban people, heroic and sensible. will
take the situation calmly, working and waiting
for the independence and liberty which the fu-
ture will surely bring As for the suggestion that
the intervening power conteISpiates robbing Gu
bans Of their own, i do not believe ii. Such
rlinor is a calunny against an honorable people
The Cubans, left poor by the war, should dream
only Of work. Let allow bygones to be by
cones. Let US see brother in every man in
Cuba.
There is good deal of sense and much
apparent optimism in the remarks of the
old Dominican gensral. He is entirely
justified in believing that the intervening
power will conscientiously fulfill its obii-
cations, and all of them, and, in time, viii
accordingly confer upon Cuba any measure
of liberty and self-government that the
Cuban people may show themselves compe-
tent TO enjoy. We suspect, however, that
the absolute independence to which Gomez
and his friends look forward, as something
coming in the near future, will not be
achieved within anything like the time they
set for it in their eager minds.

Queen Victoria at Eighty.
(From the London News)

Her Majesty was never in all her life bet
ter in body and mind than she is at the
present moment. Her powers Of walking
have, it is true, in great measure failed,
but otherwise she is as strong as ever she
was. The reports with regard to the state
of her eyesight are much exaggerated. At
her age ii is impossible to expect that the
eyes will be as strong as when she was a
young woman: but the fact remains that
she cannot do a great deal of writing or OF
reading. But no complicated operation is
necessary or thought OF. and even now the
Queen writes most of her private and fam
ily letters with her own hand. The most
remarkable thing about Her Majesty is the
wonderful manner in which she has pre-
served the full freshness and readiness of
her mind and her memory. Her intellect
is undoubtedly as clear and strong. and her
memory is as retentiye, as 1T was fifty
years ago. Sometimes she astonishes even
those who know her we'll by the minute
ness o. her knowledge with regard to any
individuality prominent in any department.
of national life. But what is even more
remarkable is Her Majesty's close acquain-
tance with the movements of the modern
world outside those favored classes. She
watches, for instance, with great interest
every new departure either in literature
or Journalism. Mention to her any man OF
woman of letters. and she will Immediately
prove to you that she knows a great deal
not only about their works and tendencies
but about themselves personally; their
character. adventures, pei soma tiles. There
are some people who picture Her Majesty
living in secluson and isolation of spirit
as well as of existence and either ignorant
Of all that goes on outside certain small
circles or Indifferent to them. This is te
entirely mistake her character and her con-
ception of her duties. She thinks herself
bound to be keenly alive to everything that
goes on; to move with as well as to watch
the times; she never thinks of allowing hel
mind to rust or grow narrow or intolerani
or unwilling to accept new ideas. In fact
in the highest sense of both terms, the

The State Department has arranged a

HEAVY SHIPMENT OF COIN.
Five Millions Sent From the Carson
Mint to San Francisco.


San Francisco, Aug. 11.-One of the larg
est shipments of coin ever made to this
city is arriving here in carload lots The
amount is s. .OO0, 900. and it was sent from
the Carson mint to the United States Sub
treasury TO be stored. The money was
placed in five thousand bags containing
81, 900 each, and was shipped in care Of
Wells, Fargo Co.'S express There Is not
sufficient space for this mass Of coin al the
local subtreasury and it was necessary 10
pile three wagon loads OF coin on the ofi1ce
floor outside of the counter. The money
shipped from Carson was placed there in
1890 since which time it has been stored
in the vaults
There is sufficient money on hand here,
but the officials at Washington felt that
the subtreasury was the best place to keep
the coin Money is not coined at Carson
now. the mint there having been closed.
The building is used as a Government as
say Office. There is still large amount
of coin stored at Carson, but it will prob
ably be shipped here.

The Case of Italy.
lFrom the New York Journal. J

NrIUII IIt Nc" IUrh 'UuIIIaI.I
Italy is said to demand an unusually heavy
indemnity for the lynching of her subjects al
Tallulah. She is right. We ought to pay ar
indemnity and it ought to be substantial one
There is no doubt as to what should expect
of Italy if the cases reversed, and we ought
Ito be willing to do what we should demand o
others.
As matter of internal policy we may delb
erately decide that the whole the principle
of sef-government is valuable that it is bet
ter to tolerate disorder in some neighborhood:
than to violate the principle by allowing the ma
tionaI authorities to deal with local crimes. But
if we adopt that policy must be willing to
pay for it. We cannot offer it as sufficient an
swer to the complaints of foreign powers wher
their subjects are slaughtered.

A scheme of Little Account.

The plan of the Republican managers disclosed
by the Worlds correspondent at Champlain.
to call their national convention ahead of the
Democrats in order to forestail their opponents
in denouncing trusts, is hardly worthy of the
cunning of Hanna and Hobart. So long as five
sixths of the trusts are promoted and protected
by the 50 per cent Dingley tariff no Republican
ftilrninations against these monopolies will have
the slightest effect That party will have an
opportunity TO improve its record on trusts at
the coming session of Congress. Tlat record
will be its nlaffnrm.

Louisville, Ky, Aug. 11.-Reports sent
out from Saratoga to the effect that Judge
William Tarvin, of Covington, would at
tend a Democratic conference there and
make fight to prevent the Tammany-
German people from sidetraciing Bryan,

In signed statement he demanded that
Goebel disown the Courier Journal and
disavow all connection with it in the cam
paign. Goebel refuses to do this and the
result is that Tarvin is not booked for
speeches for the Goebel ticket.
Tarvin is candidate for Vice President
on the Democratic ticket With Bryan at
the head he would be out of it. With
German or Van Wyck as the candidate for
President. Tarvin would, his friends say,
stand a chance for second place. He is
